Dragon Quest Comfort, Indie Media Burnout, and Why - Unqualified Game Chat Ep. 130

Описание: In this episode, Spencer and I talk about Dragon Quest VII, why familiarity and pacing still matter in JRPGs, and how remakes should respect what made these games comforting in the first place. The conversation opens up into indie media burnout, Square Enix’s uneven support for smaller projects, and how traffic pressures quietly shape what gets covered. It’s a reflective episode about taste, patience, and loving games without chasing trends.
