This “week” we continue our off-the-beaten-path exploration of the SNES library by looking at a selection of Japanese Square RPGs that do not have “Final Fantasy” in their titles: Seiken Densetsu 3, Treasure of the Rudras, Live-A-Live, Bahamut Lagoon and Romancing Saga 2. All games are sampled for the musical interludes, including pieces composed by Hiroki Kikuta, Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Shimomura.
Tune in next time for a celebration of all things Dreamcast!
Old Game Plus Episode 9: Square SNES JRPGs Not Named Final Fantasy
Listening to the podcast right now. Some advice though: Quit trying to be like Retronauts. Be Old Game Plus! Trying to be like Retronauts, podcast-wise is aiming really low(ie Final Fantasy references every 12 seconds, padding the ep with music, namedropping Japanese game developers & all-too-frequent updates about Mega Man). I know you guys can do better. An episode that’s not about Final Fantasy is a step in the right direction….
Some food for thought.
