The Genesis of JRPGs

TCW Podcast Episode 011 - The Genesis of JRPGs   We go over the Genesis of JRPGs, and discover that their origin is not where we would have expected them to come from. We go over the influences on developers in Japan that lead to the development of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.  We discuss how western RPGs made their way into Japan via the Apple II, and how RPGs eventually engrained themselves into Japanese society.   Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNnpxrZtzy0   Ultima 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FvHQI2qSKQ   Wizardry - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-iOZzwIlMA   Xevious - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P24bjcvnxd8   Tower of Druaga - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN-8LcVfoTc   Hydlide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmrxfeozmis   Black Onyx - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=364J35Sk3zM   Dragon Quest 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmzHrNVelL0     New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Alex's Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
