Welcome to the first ever episode of 🎙️Side Quests & Save Points💾, the podcast where we proudly ignore the main quest in favour of all the distractions that make the adventure worth it.

In Part 1 of this debut episode, I’m joined by Rin Karigani - Twitch Partner, Capcom Creator, Monster Hunter veteran, and high-end raider in Final Fantasy XIV - to chat about his gaming journey, his love for RPGs and MMOs, and how these genres shaped his experience as both a player and creator.

This episode touches on:

• RPG and MMO genre passion
• Monster Hunter
• The world of FFXIV raiding
• Early gaming influences

Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a side quest addict, you’re in good company here.

🗓️ New episodes drop every Monday – so grab a drink, get comfortable, and let’s dive in.
