Watch Out For Fireballs 480: Lost Kingdoms (Premium)
Added 2025-06-19 18:18:06 +0000 UTCBack when Fromsoft used to experiment in the B-tier game mines, they made a bizarre Real Time card battle game. That game is Lost Kingdoms, and this is our Summer JRPG. Sometimes life takes you to unexpected places.

Dang, I missed the cutoff for responses, but just the other day, I watched a video on a ps3 game I'd never heard of that described it as being like a lost sequel to Lost Kingdom. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklore_(video_game) Had no idea that it was so directly pulling from LK or that LK was a Fromsoft game!

2025-06-21 15:23:22 +0000 UTCI definitely had this back in the day, but remember nothing about it. Happy to hear the rare GameCube episode! Also laughed out loud at “Grim-fah-chey”, amazing, that will live rent free in my head from now on. Thanks as always for the great episode G+K

Had never heard of Lost Kingdoms and then this show covers it, perfect timing! Always look forward to your summer RPG episodes.

2025-06-20 16:00:05 +0000 UTCi was excited for this ep, im also fascinated by the Fromsoft experimental B-tier era though i havent gotten around to this game yet. i *have* played Evergrace though and i love that i could immediately recognize the music as Kota Hoshino, he has a pretty distinct style. the EG soundtrack is fuckin wild (the couple of tracks he did for Shadow Tower are actually pretty illustrative) and ill have to check the LK soundtrack out as well. Always fun when y'all do something weird and, much like that furtive pygmy we all know and love, so easily forgotten

2025-06-19 21:12:44 +0000 UTCthis game activated my imagination AND frustrated the hell out of me as a kid. the resource management seemed very harsh to my teen brain. at the same time, I loved the atmosphere, the monster-collector aspects (as a devout pokemon kid), and the somewhat serious tone. it makes a certain amount of sense that that was my first exposure to fromsoft!
