It's the first anniversary of Dead Genre Chronicles, and in celebrating that fact, we recorded nearly four hours worth of podcast! Due to the unwieldy length, this episode has been split into two smaller ones. This second segment is all about our game for the month, Nier!

It's the first anniversary of Dead Genre Chronicles, and in celebrating that fact, we recorded nearly four hours worth of podcast! Due to the unwieldy length, this episode has been split into two smaller ones. This first segment is entirely about reminiscing about the past year of podcasting.

This month on DGC, we (Devon, Becky, and LeeRoy) tackle Xenogears, a PS1 RPG that is too busy being full of itself (and text) to be full of anything substantial.

This episode comes with our first ever notice that all three of us agreed that this game is not worth playing, and wish to let listeners who may be turned away by not having played this game that we intended this episode to supersede any need to play the game yourself. Please save yourself fifty-five hours.

The music tracks used were, in order:

Yasunori Mitsuda - Flight
Yasunori Mitsuda - The Sky, The Clouds, and You
