Fireside Chats, Episode 16: RPGs and the State of Games Media with Alexa Ray Corriea

For years, Alexa Ray Corriea has impressed games enthusiasts with her passion for RPGs and her deep knowledge of the industry. Today, she joins Fireside Chats for a discussion about the games of 2017, the role-playing genre we both adore, and the meteoric success of the Nintendo Switch. We also delve into a chat about games media, and whether it's in as much trouble as it seems to be, and whether many sites' adversarial tone and seeming lack of knowledge will simply drive more lapsed fans to YouTube, Twitch, and podcasts.

Fireside Chats, Episode 16: RPGs and the State of Games Media with Alexa Ray Corriea

Thank you for your kind words! (Hope Bloodborne treated you well.)

Colin Moriarty

Colin this is one of my favorite things you have done under CLS. I could hear you talk about JRPGs and Castlevania forever so thank you! Hearing the word Terranigma in a podcast filled me with such joy! Then an overwhelming sadness when i realized it was never released here. Yes please do give Nier another chance down the line. It was a real highlight of the year personally. You inspired me the jump on Bloodbourne while on sale this week so wish me luck.

Stephen Hunter Strong

Glad you enjoyed the episode! Thank you for listening.

Colin Moriarty

Amazing episode man thank you for a great year of content! I love Alexa I discovered her thru WGG. So glad to hear u talk about games more passionately again. Also I kinda agree FF and jrpgs in general have kind of fallen off especially this decade but there are still some good ones out there. If you ever wanna give ur Vita some love check out Trails of Cold Steel at some point. It builds an amazing world and battle system is one of the best ever.

Travis farmer

Glad you enjoyed!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you for this. Your joint love of JRPGs is inspiring me to dive right into it! I hope you meet to chat again soon!

Both Odyssey and Breath are overrated, but still great from my perspective (though I've spent little time with Zelda as of yet). They're still both clearly worth playing.

Colin Moriarty

Please do! She's great.

Colin Moriarty

I'm sure they appreciate your support! Thank you for doing that. Glad we see eye-to-eye on Majora's Mask, even if you're woefully misguided on Final Fantasy X. =)

Colin Moriarty

Thank you. I'm really glad to hear that this show is resonating with you. I'm having a blast with it, personally.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you!

Colin Moriarty

I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode! Thanks for listening.

Colin Moriarty

Ha! I'm glad I could make your wish a reality.

Colin Moriarty

Awesome. Congratulations! That's a huge step. Enjoy the show.

Colin Moriarty

Please enjoy!

Colin Moriarty

Glad you liked it! I had fun, too.

Colin Moriarty

Wow, she's awesome! Much respect for being one of the people who aren't afraid to admit Breath of the Wild is overrated. I really enjoyed my time with it but it's an 8.0, it's no Ocarina, Majora's Mask, or Wind Waker. I also have to be honest, I was one of the Wind Waker naysayers, but I ended up getting it and loving it, and it remains one of my great gaming shames, but I own up to it at least!

Michael Ferrari

Fantastic chat. I must now follow her!

Joey Finelli

That was a great one! Went directly over to WGG and subbed. You are correct that Majora’s Mask is the best Zelda game but Final Fantasy X IS a good game, even with the terrible laughing scene.

Very good as always

Justin Misuriello

So damn good, this is the content I crave.

desperateLuck

Yay! When you asked who we wanted you to talk to I literally said "Talk to Alexa about RPGs" - Glad that this happened.

Owen

Just got my driver's license recently and this is going to be my first Fireside Chats that I listen to while driving. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ.

Cameron Paterson

Going to listen now!!

Anthony Wright

Lively discussion. Much approve.
