Welcome to Gaijin Hideout, where we cover Japanese games that Westerners enjoy.
I'm Jeff Gaijin, an American living abroad, and I cover a variety of games such as FFXIV, Monster Hunter, Dragon's Dogma, and whatever Capcom is cooking up next. FromSoft games and more Final Fantasy also on the way!

Expect highlights from my playthroughs on Twitch, game reviews, and the occasional reaction video for JRPGs, Action RPGs, and the Western games that belong in the same conversation. All content is for entertainment purposes only—don't take me too seriously!

🟣 Live on Twitch 4 days a week — currently we do FFXIV on Tuesdays and Saturdays, as well as Palworld on Friday evenings. Stop by Thursday evenings for YouTube & Dinner where we eat and goof off while checking out trailers and videos for new games.

🔔 Subscribe for a distinctly Western take on Japanese games and gaming culture in general.
