What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The JRPG Pursuit is a blast! All of the co-hosts have great personalities and chemistry. They do a great job of covering the latest JRPG news and providing in-depth discussions of JRPG games.

BoggleChampion2 · Jul 2026

These fine folks are informative and entertaining with their commentary on all things JRPGs (and anime). They feel like buddies you can go out and have a drink with while nerding out on all the nerdy things. They are also consistent, releasing an episode each week without fail since they started. Lots of fun!

Consistent fun · Jul 2026

I’ve been listening to these fine folks since the beginning. I’ve got to say, they bring a fresh take and atmosphere to a commonly stuffy subject. They keep things light, but respectful and interesting. But best of all, they’re real people with personalities that shine through in each episode that makes listening a joy and something I look forward to each week.

Love their chemistry and the quality of discussions. I was out of gaming for a long while until I came across the trio as individual creators on Youtube. Became an instant podcast subscriber when I found out abt this collaboration. Their useful tips have helped me fall back in love with jrpgs and manage better my jrpg backlog! 🫶🏻
