117 - Too Much Dragon Quest
Well, we certainly have a lot of Dragon Quest to talk about. We've got Dragon Quest Builders, and a little more Dragon Quest VII, but there's also some pretty big news going on with Final Fantasy XIV. After that, we round out the show with World of Final Fantasy, Paper Mario Color Splash, Exist Archive and the Danganronpa anime. Enjoy!

116 - Demon Quest
It's been a while, so hopefully we haven't forgotten how to podcast! We've got Deus Ex: Mankind Divided to augment, Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse to negotiate, and Dragon Quest VII to, uh, quest with? We're going to start tackling those emails y'all keep sending us. And to wrap things up, we've got an interview with Chris Holzworth, Lead Editor on the SMT4A localization team and RPGFan staffer from way back!

112 - The One About E3 2016
With E3 2016 in the rear-view mirror, it's time to take a breath, drink some scotch (the preferred drink of RPGFan), and try to assess everything that happened. From Zelda to God of War to Persona 5, we've got you covered when it comes to gaming at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. Scorpio!

Let's talk about our backlog a bit before the inevitable E3 hype.

110 - Off Topic
We should probably focus on all of the crazy news over the past few weeks, huh? After a brief talk about the ending to Danganronpa 2 (don't worry, no spoilers), we do our best to take apart the amazing Persona 5 trailer and try to figure out just what Nintendo's up to.

109 - Bon Voyage!
Another week of way too many games to talk about, friends. We've got Bravely Second, Nioh, Severed and The Banner Saga 2, along with a number of quick thoughts on titles in our individual backlogs. But the real story here is at the end where we say goodbye to a longtime podcast member and friend. You don't want to miss it!
