Episode notes

There are eight main characters thus Octopath. Each of these characters has kind of their own RPG gimmick and purely out of luck the first one I picked was basically Pokemon as their gimmick, it was so awesome. It's this like overwhelming sense of everything being interconnected. By harvesting critter bits you can get say a certain type of emblem that a certain one random character in a one random town will be like hey that's exactly what I want and they'll join your party.

Dredge is one of 2023's best surprises, a fishing adventure mixed with Lovecraftian horror. Don't worry though: it's not too scary. In fact, Dredge's much more interested in the fishing aspect than you might expect from a game marketed around cosmic terror. Plus, Plante has become obsessed with Octopath Traveler 2. How does someone who dislikes turn-based combat fall in love with this sort of game? And is it recommended for everyone or just people who love RPGs? All that and more on this week's Resties!
