  • Summary

  • Combo Chain is a games club podcast about JRPGs, and other related genres. Each episode talks about the mechanics, story and the game as a whole...but really, we're all here for the stories, right? And the zen-like appeal of grinding. Really, it's so good. Hosted by Paul M. Davis, Allisa James, and a rotating crew of guest hosts.

    Ep 32: Live-a-Live
    Sep 15 2022
    So a caveman, kung fu master, ninja, cowboy, tournament fighter, esper, robot, and a knight go into a bar and discover...a cosmic evil. We cover this long-obscure cult Super Famicom JRPG that only came to the west this year through a remaster. Both versions are a glimpse into a fascinating concept decades before its time, and the kind of risk-taking and wild experimentation that could be found in 16-bit JRPGS.

    Ep 31: Radiant Historia
    Aug 25 2022
    We bust out our flowcharts and get unstuck in time as we cover the time-traveling cult classic Radiant Historia. As a dying world contends with endless war and desertification, three heroes jump between multiple timelines to try and find a way forward. Both a throwback to classic JRPGs and an ambitious reformulation of them, Radiant Historia is a fascinating relic of the Nintendo DS era.

    Ep 30: Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
    Aug 9 2022
    River-kun comes for us all as we cover Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. The collaboration between Level-5 and Studio Ghibli was the subject of a lot of anticipation but has a complicated legacy. We discuss Drippy-gate, collecting the 'mons, and the game's similiarities to Frozen spinoff media. Allisa James' work on Linktree (https://linktr.ee/asjames)
