Watch Out for Fireballs! 448: Illusion of Gaia (Premium)
Added 2024-08-22 14:00:07 +0000 UTCThis week we talk about Illusion of Gaia, an action RPG that completes the Quintet Trilogy… or quadrilogy? Depends which games you include. How does it stack up against the others, and which world cultures will it mangle for RPG melodrama? The only way to find out is to listen in.

This game sounds truly psychotic.

Also, definitely better to listen here than to bother replaying. Just fantastic, up there with Bioshock Infinite for things worth listening to a bunch. Great job, guys.

2024-08-22 18:52:51 +0000 UTCOne of my favs as a kid, played it when it first came out when I was 10. I remember the instruction booklet was super helpful and I referred to it a good amount, it had tips and I think rewards for the gem turn ins. The slavery part was pretty scary and gritty for me at 10 and I was legit sad with Seth's fate. Fantastic music, exploring the world, danger of slavery and russian roulette, friends dying, cool mystic shit, it was a hell of a journey back then!
