This week, we're making our yearly predictions for Dragon Quest Day. It's mostly a hopes and dreams deal at this point, but it's still fun to dream!

This week, we return to our "Versus" series and discuss Final Fantasy V and Dragon Quest V. Austin just beat FF5 Pixel Remaster, so it seemed like a great chance to talk about these two great games.
