In this episode, we talk about the “Japan only” games we have played. We report on not only if the games were good or bad, but our experiences, how they hold up over time, and if those with no Japanese ability can play them. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:51 What’s the Happs?

    @RadicalsDreams Oh man not cool!
    Well have fun :)

    @VoiceoftheVoiceless4
    Honestly, I don’t think I’ll touch XIV. Not because it’s bad, but because I don’t have time this month to do the open beta (TGS, JAMMA arcade show, press conferences and parties). I love MMOs, but they are addictive, so I do my best to stay away. Except for the old republic that is. That game will rule my soul.

  3. VoiceoftheVoiceless4 says:

    hey Radical are you by chance going to be playing FFXIV online?
    It looks so awesome… I can’t wait to play it.. i don’t care if I have to subscribe 13 dollars a month to play it. If you by chance get into it lemme know so we can guild together! :D

    You seem very into console and portable gaming though so idk what your plans are.

    @LemonlyGamer
    Drop us a line on the out-cast page for our latest episode and demand kyle’s thoughts on Mother 3. That’s why we have the mail bag after all.

  5. LemonlyGamer says:

    @kmclain Okay, thanks Kyle. I know you guys brought up how your podcast equipment sometimes has weird technical anomalies in the last Let’s E-mailing, that’s got to be a pain in the ass to deal with.

  6. kmclain says:

    @LemonlyGamer This is Kyle, Radical Dreamer’s Out-Cast partner in crime. I actually did mention Mother 3 and the Mother 1+2 GBA collection during the podcast, but while I was talking, our timid mic decided to act up and make everything all static-y, so we ended up having to cut it in editing.

    In short, yes, Mother 1+3 are Japan only games, but American gamers should thank their lucky stars that the only title to be released in America was number 2…as it is easily the best in the series

    @LemonlyGamer mother 3 FTW

  8. LemonlyGamer says:

    I watched this awhile ago, it’s a great episode. I’m surprised none of you mentioned Mother 3!

    You know something, I remember somebody mixing this theme with Geechisu’s from black and white. It was amazing until about the four minute mark where it fell out of synchronization, at which point I thought FAIL!!!

    Anyways nice job Larx! 4/5

    @richardflint2010 There are no flutes in the beginning. It’s near the end.

  11. SuperiorLarxene says:

    @richardflint2010 Oh, those. If you listen closely, you can hear them. It’s a violin/french horn combo. Only reason why they aren’t that audible is because of the rest of the brass. The French Horn meshes with the rest of the brass.

  12. richardflint2010 says:

    It’s the R/S/E Version.

  13. SuperiorLarxene says:

    @richardflint2010 In which one, the HG/SS version or the R/S/E version.
    Because if I remember correctly, the original does not have a flute.

  14. SuperiorLarxene says:

    @OMGZach72 In my opinion, the bass line is the highlight of the original, therefore, I made it louder than it was supposed to be.

  15. OMGZach72 says:

    :D bassline was too loud for me in the first part tho :3
    I loved the second part thingy tho :D
    And the preview looks pretty sweet also :D
    Btw smilies are awesome LOL xD

  22. alternateshadow300 says:

  23. LugiaDialga says:

    The preview is very epic, you have a great start on it! ;D

  24. SuperiorLarxene says:

    @alternateshadow300 The first one is the HG/SS arrangement. That’s why I used that picture. lol

  25. SuperiorLarxene says:

    @richardflint2010 What flute part?

  26. alternateshadow300 says:

    Very nice. The first one sounds a lot like the HGSS rendition of the song! Great!

  27. richardflint2010 says:

    Wow! Good Job and all it was missing is the Flute part and I wish i had the MIDI. anyway, Good Job!
