How did it take me 22 years to realize that Goofy’s captain of the guard outfit has a helmet that sits on top of his head…? I guess time took some of my brain wrinkles lol

About the monster taming mechanic: i kinda actually really like how hard it is to capture the monsters, i can understand the frustration of wanting one and not being able to capture it because it requires hours of grinding, but really the fact it was hard and out of my choice realistically, made me value a lot more the monsters that i recruited, even if i didn't really wanted a mudraker named Clayton, i grew found of him and it stayed in my party until the end of the game fighting against Nimzo, every single player will have a unique experience with the battle system because ultimately people will have totally different monsters asking to join them, and I really appreciate that even if not perfect I still think it's for the best, it totally helps to imerse you in the hero's narrative With present context we may perceive this mechanic as a Taming Monster one but really in 1992 that wasn't a established genre, it's not about you recruiting them, they are the ones that choose the main protagonist, they want to be a part of your history, and it's up to the the player to accept their desire and stay with them, that's the feeling I think they intent to convey, monsters are not essentially evil "I'm not a bad slime"

I have been trying to get a hold of this game for years, the physical copy for the DS is £400.

I honestly wondered how some people are so obsessed over death note :/ My opinion is that it has some good ideas but it's so overrated, because the author wanted to make an anime that was trying realistic, but death note is totally not. Most characters are flat and one dimensional and totally unbelievable (for example Misa not being traumatized after L kindapped and tortured her, Soichiro not even considering Light is Kira even if he's suspiscious as hell and it becoming more obvious by the minute, the potato scene and the whole miniarc dedicated to L recording the Takimura and Yagami families, and I could go on but I think you get it), only a little part of the "genius ideas" are actually genius, for example, how L discovers Kira is in Kanto, but then comes up with things like L ramdomly kidnapping Misa and torturing her as if it's routine (which would fail since torture most times leads to people confessing crimes they didn't do just to be free), which lead me to ask myself "why did he even bothered to ask the police for help if he could have kidnapped Light the moment he started suspecting him and do the same he did to Misa?" Since would have been eventually be investigated by L even without the police in the game. Overall I don't think death note it's this shining and flawless anime, but it's nor really crappy either, what I think is that it is low average

I appreciate that you pure a piece of yourself and your childhood into this. It’s exactly how I feel as well, I try to avoid a lot of replays of this game so that the feeling of my childhood won’t disappear. The story to me as a child was deep, which now looking at all the future installations make it all seem cheesy, but I truly loved this game.

37:59 lol I thought the same, I must have missed a heal point, it took me 6 years on and off to beat dq5 it was amazing

Maybe, just maybe Sora was a soldier along 🪖 🇺🇸

One thing you did not realize is that in the beginning of the game, as you are getting out of the ship, Nera, Debora and their father are boarding. It's in his ship where the intro happens.

You can't criticize DQV for the monster recruiting mechanic. Grinding is the ethos of the series. If you are playing the game properly, you are going to recruit all the monsters you need inevitably. Eventually but inevitably. You asked if having to grind for the haunted castle was intentional, and the answer is yes. The way Dragon Quest was designed to be played is buying every equipment a town offers and THEN moving on with your adventure, so your grinding is for money first and experience later, which is great, because it gives you a tangible goal instead of being like "I wonder if I should be level 4,5 or 6 to beat the next boss". Also the reason you only lose half your money when you die, is also to enable organic grinding. Oh you lost your money, so you will take longer to buy that weapon you want, but at least you keep all your experience and will level up a bit more than if you did not die.

6:39 be careful what you wish for *sniffle*

Just watched it today after broke it up 10 years ago. Most overrated anime ever. Afte L dies, there are literally obly characters left that i despise. Why am i supposed to watch the show?

Started playing dq5 yesterday on ps2 it’s so fun

What was your name again ?

I chose debora

Fantastic video

Dude really made the worst rage bait video in history and thought he ate

I did this years ago, it's nice

Fax

what a shitty take lol

Honestly, I’m about to make a massive life change, and it’s got me thinking about kingdom hearts again

Where do you vanished besto friendo?

Great video. I really like your style.

I never had the chance to play KH or FF because we couldn't afford it at the time. I do remember all of the ads and everyone talking about it. I will be playing both franchises for the first time on Ps2 soon and finally be able to experience what everyone's been talking about

Having played the PS2 version (fan translated) this version looks massively downgraded in presentation (aesthetics/sound mixing) compared to that one. Although there's obviously a difference in technical power it'd be nice if it looked as good as IX.

You're color blind?

Felt like I was listening to a film noire detective monologue his thoughts on DQ. I love film noire so I adored this video. Thanks for making it ❤

I love and hate critics. It's all opinions nothing about media is objective but I find the more critical you get of media the more likely you fall into contrarianism or analyzing specific aspects pointing out flaws without realizing strengths in those things that may be flawed in repetition or other reasons but if you take a deeper look work well for the story or experience it's trying to deliver. A lot of that comes down to personal tastes but I do still think you become enough of a media critique you end up missing the forest for the trees in more scenarios. And tbf, it's more just things that work perfectly fine for the media but have things one could reasonably dislike if they have a preference. It's honestly fine because it's personal preference but I find from what I've seen of your ten or so video titles and this one I watched I can tell you go very in depth and to that end fall into traps that can be valid but miss a point or two. That being said I don't have an issue with the points in this video. I personally think bakuman contains a consistent quality throughout it's run but I don't have an issue with you disagreeing. I just looked at your channel after watching this video and noticed a theme in people who go hard into media analysis that I find can often be faulty even if well reasoned

If I may, for anyone or no one who reads this comment, I would like to give my story with this game. I think after watching this video it’s a story worth telling. Dragon Quest Five is not the best video game ever made, it isn’t best of its time, it isn’t the best of its genre or of said genre at its time. It is however to me, and I feel to many others who have played it, the most important game I’ve ever played in my life. Dragon Quest Five is not a terribly hard game, it’s difficult and I can say I had a very similar experience to the creator of this video, being under leveled the entire game and feeling a good sense of challenge throughout. However Dragon Quest Five is a game that took me five years to complete. When you hear this you may think I kept dropping the game and restarting it. That was never the case. It was one playthrough, the ds version, started when I was thirteen years old, and ended when I became eighteen. I got the game has a gift from my dad, I told him I wanted to play a dragon quest game(we were both massive rpg fans, and I had already played my share of final fantasies). I lived nowhere near my father, as I lived with my mother whom took full custody of me and moved across the country. I thought this was for the best at the time, I was a kid sucking up to their mother. I looked online for what final fantasy to play and it seemed five was the best one in many peoples eyes. My dad got me the game and not to long after I got to playing. I was a child when I started the game, and I ended it a man. Bobo(the name I decided the hero be called) also started the game a child. I remember the start of the game was this fun experience, a sort of whimsical fairy tale that filled me with joy on quiet afternoons home from school. I lived on a farm then, and those years were undoubtably the most whimsical my life has been. I was also a pompous brat back then, I had attitude for anyone or anything. I imagined Bobo the same way; I would snicker to myself as a boy imagining Bobo saying fuck you to the adults who talked to him. This game has a way of digging itself into the player. It’s not a terribly deep game but it grabs hold of its concept so firmly that as a player you truly feel like the protagonist, and the protagonist feels like you. This video equally points this out, this game digs into your soul, and puts it into the shoes of the main character. I would get lost. This is not the last time this would happen in the game. Months would pass without me realizing what I should do, then I’d drop the game for a year. However there’s something that pulls you into this game. Play any other game like it and if you take a year break you’d never be able to start from when you left off. You’d forget the story, characters, and would loose investment. However Dragon Quests Fives story is not complicated, its characters are simple. You don’t need to remember it well to know what exactly is going on. Has for the investment, you never stop being Bobo, or whatever you name your character. Just like you never stop being you. The moment I stepped into the game again, it was has if I never left. Things got bad in life. My mother did a lot of drugs, we lost the house, I lost connection to my sister and mother. I’ve still yet to see my sister again in person since this. I lived with my father, a fate I once dreaded. At this point I had also gotten to Bobo’s first twist of fate as well. His father died, and while I couldn’t yet find the power within me to care about the death of Pankrase, as I saw it coming a mile away, I did feel anger. I wanted revenge. I lost my identity when everything happened. I began to question everything I was. Many sleepless nights sobbing into the void plagued my fifteenth year of my life. Just the same Bobo had this happen to him. He lost everything, forced to live in a place where he could no longer be the same. The joke about cussing out adults slowly stopped. Two more years would pass, I would get lost two more times. One of which, when the character makes it to the church and in order to progress you need to go back into the church again would take me a year and a half to realize. I had grown to accept my surroundings more. I was in high school now and I had a girlfriend. I didn’t have time for Bobo anymore. When inevitably that relationship broke up into pieces(as most teenage relationships do) Dragon Quest Five was there to comfort me. I tracked onward, and got to the part where marriage comes back into play. When I first got the game, I was an arrogant child. One who thought he knew everything, one who thought his best attribute was his intellectual superiority to others. I lost that confidence in my new surroundings, but in my self loathing I had not realized a true strength within me growing, empathy. I remember the choice between wives was a difficult one. I remember the internal conflict, do I go with the girl I like more in Bianca, or do I go with the other choice. On one end I knew Bianca made more sense, but I felt a terrible guilt for that. It was a selfish choice, meanwhile the other primary bride option was one who had been essentially forced into marriage. If I don’t help her, then when some scumbag with enough money comes around who will be to her aid. I pushed my guilt aside and picked Bianca. The second twist of this game, when you turn to stone, hit me like a truck. Nothing had surprised me all that much until then. However it broke me inside a little. At this point it had been four years since I started playing the game. I had become a completely different person, a kinder person, but only onto others not towards myself. That was until a teacher I had, who saw straight through me told me that my kind heart was my greatest redeeming quality. I began to see myself more clearly, flaws and all. And as I continued to play I saw the same for Bobo, who after a troubled life had finally found happiness. I was genuinely joyed to rejoin with Bianca, bring the family back together. If there’s one thing this video failed to mention it’s how great the party chat is in this game. Every characters got something to say for every situation. In this moment, with the family reunited, does that feature truly shine. I had become an adult at this point but there was one thing still left to do, find my mother. It was not lost on me how Bobo had the same story. Has life carried on for me, so did his. Our searches intertwined and it led to a lot more self introspection. Eventually we both would find our mothers, learn the truth of everything that happened, who was responsible and who wasn’t. Everything would come true but there would be a realization shared by me and Bobo. It was too late. My childhood was already over, the years where my mother could’ve done anything to make up for what happened, to help me were over. Bobo was the same, when he’d finally see his mother again it’d be short lived, she would die and Bobo would be left without his parents, I can at least attest to being luckier than that. Still regardless both me and the fictional character would be left with the same message from our mothers, to keep pushing forward. Through the tears I would beat the game, and finally grant Bobo his happily ever after. This game didn’t change anything in my life physically, it’s not as though its existence played a role in how chaotic everything was. However it did hold a mirror up. One big clear mirror that was right in front of me for five years, sometimes I wouldn’t recognize what I saw in that reflection, sometimes I was to afraid to look, but now I see clearly. I partially have Dragon Quest Five to thank for that. I love Dragon Quest five and I love the video that was made about it here. Take good care of yourself.

You get to have sex

just found this and I hope this person has just been an entire year preparing a video and an upload is due soon

What are you smoking

tbh i never noticed a drop in quality. whenever things started to get boring there would always be some new concept to make it enjoyable. but that's just how I enjoyed it.

I need to smoke what you're smoking

Now you need to do it with 75% coke and 25% Pepsi and see if the coke comes through more

A beautiful retrospective man. Loved this game so much. Not sure if I want a remake for it or not. Still, its very good. I feel like for the marriage thing I didn't mind that it pushed towards Bianca. I liked Bianca the most and felt like the Hero would've felt the same. Only problem I have with it is that we don't even get a decent taste of what the other girls are like before choosing, plus the pressuring is fine until you talk to Bianca's Dad. Who in his practically DYING WORDS essentially begs you to marry her so she's not alone when he eventually passes on. Like, that was where the game lost me. It didn't need to be that deep bro💀 I also wanna say I don't mind grinding in JRPGs at all. Just like mob enemies in a hack and slash, practicing with NPCs in a fighting game or what have you. I fully expect to be some section of the game where I'll have to go through monotony to get better in some capacity. I mean I always felt like I obviously don't just wanna be handed all this power. Of course I wanna feel like I earned it rather than me just coasting and the game just making me a god simply for existing.

kingdom hearts is a game so hard to look at objectively when you grew up with it some of my earliest memories are of kingdom hearts and as the series went on they where some of the first games where i would look forward to the next one coming out i remember hearing about birth by sleep and going to by older brother to see if i could borrow his psp for a few weeks when the game was coming out

I had to search hard to find a video discussing this topic. Thanks

This video means so much to me. I feel like i see negativity or critique for this series everywhere, but a truly loving video about what this game means to the people who love it is exactly what i wanted to see. This game means so much to me on such an emotional level, it is something that is so ingrained in who i am

I really love this game. It's number 3 on my all time favorite games.

(Mixes coke and Pepsi) “(Knock knock knock) FBI OPEN UP!!”

I watched this while playing dq8 on my 3ds. I played dq4,5,and6 a while ago. Although I did love them I just can’t tolerate random encounters anymore after being spoiled with newer rpgs. Great refresher video though. Would be amazing if they remade 4-6 in the style of dq11

OMG! I feel the same! I also feel like the female characters are poorly written.

Bro i have literally been saying this the entire time, finally someone that agrees!

Goddamn right death note is complete trash the only good thing that happened is L died I'm glad they got right of him

I'm writing the name "justbilfo" in my Death Note

I tried that before 1- Mix 2- Pepsi 3-Coke and I love Coke

I Miss the Kingdom Hearts series having a league of Disney villains, like they did in KH1. I think this Disney villains league helped weave the disparate Disney worlds together, helped connect the Disney worlds to the larger narrative. Plus, the cut scenes involving the league of Disney villains were some of the most entertaining scenes to watch, especially as a kid. The Kingdom Hearts games in the rest of the series focus excessively on the Final Fantasy villains, on Organization 13. Compare that to KH1, where Ansem (Xehanort Heartless) and Maleficient are effectively partners in Crime, at least in the Hollow Basion World. This Felt much more cohesive than random Organization 13 members popping into random Disney Worlds.

Four years later i still Dont know what you were on
