163 - Princes, Expeditions, Dating, the 1980s, and More

Call it spring, some spring and some summer, or the most accurate but boring moniker, "Q2 2025," but the second quarter of this year saw the release of some VERY musically important titles in RPGFan's coverage. While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looms over everything in the RPG space for this time period, there were many notable other releases that also deserve your time, from RPGs to adventure games and visual novels.Oh, and classic RPG fans, just for the record, Mike would have included a song in honor of the overdue release of the Super Mario RPG (Remake + SNES) OST if he hadn't featured that game in our prior episode!As usual, we also have a longer list below of the many albums and releases we considered for this episode, so don't miss it!Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff; Edited by Mike SalbatoLinks for this episodeRose Betts' WebsiteMedieval Lofi on BandcampThe 8-Bit Big Band - "Orchestrator Emulator" Album (YouTube)Tracklist0:07:51 - The 80s Called (Thomas Regin) - Old Skies0:13:23 - Encounter Elite!
