NG+ - JRPGs
from How Long To Beat Hosted by HowLongToBeat.com
Time for the next installment of New Game+! This is a series where we occasionally revisit a topic from the podcast in more depth for an unedited mini-episode. These episodes run around 45 minutes to an hour. Sometimes our lives get in the way of our recording but we always want to make sure you've got something to enjoy each week! These aren't released on a regular schedule but on an as-needed basis. If there's a topic we've covered before that you'd really like to hear us expand upon, then let us know on the HLTB forums, Discord, or at [email protected]. In this episode of NG+, Paula, Ric, and Alex - in the first of a planned series - discuss the genre of JRPGs. As well as outlining what makes a game fit into the genre, each host brings five game recommendations to the table both for first-time players and genre veterans!
