RPG Cast – Episode 604: “Press 5 for More Rune Factory”

1. From the sassy intro onwards, this might be one of the best RPGcasts yet! For a perfect gaming vacation, I like the idea of a cabin in the Swedish woods around December. Get out during the day, then long, dark evenings inside, real fire, and all the pre-Christmas paraphernalia. I’ll copy Kelly’s idea and play SMTV on my Switch, or grab my 3DS and catch up on a bunch of other Atlus games.

2. I feel like I get my dream gaming vacation every summer. We head up to the mountains of North Carolina & hike and hit up lots of local breweries during the day. Hiking wears the kids out, so they pass out quickly or stay up occupied with their cousins & then sleep in. Either way… I’m free to game until late night knowing I can sleep in too!

   Nights then are 4-6 straight hours of game time. I’ve beaten Dragon Quest Builders in about 10 days, powered through Persona Q and Persona 4 in a couple weeks each, sunk 70 hours into some Dragon Quest Monsters games, Stardew Valley & Graveyard Keeper, all while on vacation. I can mark my summers by which game I plowed through the most during my vacation.

3. The word of this cast was “confidence.” The consolation prize goes to “skeptical.” 😆

4. QotW: I’d like to make it a staycation for however long it takes me to beat the Trails of Cold Steel games in order. I guess bringing the Switch with me to Japan would be a nice consolation, especially if I could bring it to Super Nintendo World.

5. A general vacation where I can hike outdoor in the day and stay inside in a cabin in the evening. It would be nice to spend a week or extended weekend in the Catskills mountains. Although knowing my sleeping habits these days, I may end up hiking and crashing early that evening, but I could always alternate hiking and gaming days, heh. I don’t know if such places exist, but staying at a resort and spa with nearby hiking trails where I could hike, soak, then play game sounds great, too.

   As for what I’d take, I have loads of games I haven’t touched on the Switch and keep wanting to get around to.
