Today, we discuss one of the most common questions we get asked from listeners: do we think DQ12 will be open world and what our thoughts on it are.

This week, we're talking all about the new leak and rumor that there's going to be a Dragon Quest 7 remake. But didn't we just get a DQ7 remake on the 3ds?! What's going on? We have a good discussion, and we want to know your opinions on the leak, too.

This week, we talk about everything that made us love DQ in the first place. It's a trip down memory lane with Beej and Austin, and you may hear about some new games that make you want to pick them up, which is a win-win!

Austin got a Switch 2 for his father's day gift, and he discusses his experience with it in the time since. There have been a few issues with the transfer, and his daughters aren't too happy with how it handles Animal Crossing. But he did get Mario Kart World, so he and Beej talk about the differences in it and MK 8 Deluxe and how one is a better game than the other. But which is it!?

Beej was able to get a Switch 2 at launch, and today we're talking about the first week of having it and whether or not it was worth the money. There are also tangents into Dragon Quest 3 performance, how Austin was a professional juggler, and why we're friends. It also ends on a dark note about Mario Kart online, so keep your bingo cards ready.https://bksy.app/profile/dragonquest.fmhttps://twitter.com/dragonquestfmhttps://patreon.com/dragonquestfmhttps://youtube.com/@dqfm

Even though we have a DQ movie already with YOUR STORY, we keep hearing from fans asking us about who we think should play in all sorts of movies. So we decided that this week we would give our dream fan casting for DQ8! Let us know what you think and who we got right and wrong and who you'd have in each role!

Austin and Beej are talking about DQ Day and all the announcements that we had! Or the lack thereof, maybe.

Note: This was a livestream on YouTube originally (https://youtube.com/@dqfm), and Beej's mic is out. So the audio is fully Austin, but if you want to watch some good miming interaction, be sure to watch the video.
