Actually Yuji Horii didn't win that contest. Koichi Nakamura did. Horii was runner up. Nakamura would later be one of the cocreators of the franchise, serving as director on DQ1-4. He was also the founder of Chun soft.

First episode of the Podcast is out now. It's available on itunes, Google play, spotify. Here is the link to the youtube version. First episode is long AF.... We probably should have broken it up into 2 parts lol. https://www.weeabuds.com/2019/12/weeabuds-official-podcast-episode-01-2019-year-in-review/ We talk about Dragon Quest XI and Builders 2 beginning at the 53:00 minute mark

Yep. Like other Saga games, you can have a really tough time if you grind too much.

I've listened to every episode! Great work. You guys have a good dynamic. I'd be interested in a guest appearance. Let me know when you guys have an opening to have me, and I'll find some time to join in. Love talking some DQ.

We wrote an article about Koichi Sugiyama. https://www.weeabuds.com/2019/11/dragon-quest-composer-koichi-sugiyama-a-retrospective/

We definitely plan more coverage for RS3. That game is dope.

Hey guys, My friends and I have launched a new gaming website called Weeabuds. We're going to focus mostly on Japanese and indy games, as well as manga and anime. Next month we plan to start a supplemental podcast as well. Let us know what you think! I'm definitely planning on a lot of DQ coverage for the site, since it's my favorite series. What do you guys want to read about?

Awesome. I can't wait to listen to this. If you guys ever want me on the show let me know

There is actually less voice acting in the English version. In the Japanese version of the trailer, you can here the hero saying the names of the spells he uses. They removed that from the US version.

Awesome news. I love how the chosen alternates represent the different eras. Erdrick - erdrick series Solo - Zenithia trilogy Eight - PlayStation duology Luminary - Current protag Only the multiplayer games aren't represented.

The way I was going, i actually didn't hit traffic. I was driving 78 miles. But Yeah I was spending a lot on gas. Like 600 a month.

How many pages is it? Any discussion on Torishima from Shonen Jump's involvement? He kinda of gets shafted when people talk about the origins of the series

What do you consider too long of a commute? I was recently in a position where I could take a job 80 miles from my apartment. Thats about a 2-3 hour commute each way. Pay was about 30% more than i was making. I took it. I drove 80 miles each day. It sucked, but after a couple months I was able to move closer to work. I now live about 40 miles away. I didnt want to move further because I'd miss my friends. My commute is now about an hour long. I live in SoCal. We're used to driving a long time here. But I can tell you, long commutes don't need to be permanent. My suggestion is to just suck it up until you can afford to move closer

I know a couple people on this site that must be thrilled

Hire me Michi. Ill be your lacky slave. I will dedicate my life to Dragon Quest.
