วีดีโอ

4:55 Wow that's really a lot less random than everything surrounding it, once you are privy to what it means.

Imagine if we got a remake of this game omg..

No joke, this vid kept popping up in my recommend for 5 days straight. Why does TH-cam think I want to feel despair

ps: 14:39 is hilarious!

Brother! I am DROOLING at how beautifully you have tuned your game, it is PERFECT, MAN! Please list your PC's specifications bro, because I want to make a similar machine!

This scene is incredible and moving. No explanation could do it justice. But if I truly had to sum it up? "Congratulations on your eternal life in the Dementia Dungeon!!" I guess it's closer to Alzheimer's. But that doesn't have the same ring to it...

Spoilers: It's really mind blowing when you come to the ending where you realize who/what Gray is. She is forever stuck in her own realm because she voided herself. She has returned back to where she belongs and now is forever stuck like the others.

Gandalf: "YOU CANNOT PASS!!!" Balroggy: "I know, ...it hurts so much, ...been bloody MONTHS since I ate that stupid Troll, and his armour is STILL messing up my insides..." 😁

This stands on its own, but pairing the somber flute with the grandiose, moving sounds of the Leyndell theme is MESMERIZING. I stood behind this guy for a solid 5 minutes so I could experience this as long as I could for my first time

I noticed something weird at that time. I never really noticed the floors passing by, nor how long it would take. But I'm pretty sure it was supposed to go to floor 223 instead of 224. So I told myself something was wrong. *Boy, it was.*

My first death was when I first grabbed the rod, and let Gray stumble into a pit like the curious dumbass I was. I had no reason to quit the game, and the fact that Gray's healthbar disappeared barely flew over my head. At least the revivals were quicker. Also this music makes me wanna cry

2:24 perfect place to start watching, if unsure to watch or no ? 6:50+40s is most hyped music+cinematic moment in whole game ?

This guy you already know has been backstabbed to oblivion lol

Where did Luigi go did you find out

This is still one of my all time favourite games. That scene near the end when Ashley meets his family made me cry soooo hard. They got the music for that perfect.

this ending is very symbolic of the whole game, the further you explore it the more unhinged and badly written the story gets

Still amazes me how good this game is in terms of art and direction. From the opening sequence with the credits to the very ending, every cutscene is so well directed and have such good dialogues, it's truly a masterpiece.

Reminds me of the force theme from Star Wars

Technically some of these puzzles are possible with additional items, but all of the staircases in those puzzles are directly below a Cif statue. Being directly below one resets you. Cif is trying to reach you. Trying to unvoid you.

This turned an enemy I found really annoying in the early game into a "yeah... I feel you bro." moment; the way the page plays it has an undenyable lamentation to its tone, its mournful and sorrowful. Guy has something eating at him but doesn't know how to get it out other than just jamming on his flute. Hits you right in the feels.

One thing I feel is listening to Page's flute 🪈 in order to find my inner peace to restore for what I lost for I feel unbalanced 🍵 but resting by the golden tree would help me meditate while he plays so beautifully 😢

SPOILER ALERT As the integrity of the universe breaks down, the Cif statue's appearance suggests that Cif wants to give you a way to reset, but doesn't succeed until after the last birch tree scene. Who knows how long Gray spent getting kicked around the void before Cif yoinked her back to the beginning?

The one person still trying to bring some life back into this rotten, ruined, once beautiful place by playing music

This song is so good at capturing the feeling of desperate hopelessness. It's such a kick in the balls and such a great way of telling the player that not only did they mess up, but that their reward is NOTHING. For some people, that'd be strong enough motivation to drop the game after being faced with the realization of having to do all 200+ floors all over again but without the safety net of infinite lives, but for me it was such a strange, exhilarating feeling. I'm so glad I stuck with the game; I can't think of many that had gripped me so thoroughly as it in recent memory.

Great video. Akihito Yoshida is one of my favorite character designers and I somehow missed this one. I'm not a remake guy, but to see these characters modernized would be a treat. Anyhoo, thanks for this.

One thing I love is how the staircase only appears under a four-eye statue (except 4:47). It's taunting you with the promise of going back to the entrance (and possibly finding a way out), but it's always out of reach. That part reminds me of Tantalus - Gray can see the thing she wants, but she can never reach it. She's condemned to reaching for it in vain for eternity. Really makes you sympathize with Gor (B143) - I'd trade _anything_ for a chance to die rather than spend eternity living in the void. That idea is _horrifying._ (Haven't beaten Hard Mode or done any meta-puzzles yet, so please don't spoil anything else.)

I could hear the flute playing from somewhere and followed the sound out into the courtyard. There was a tree with its leaves taken by a gentle breeze and a young page with a flute to their lips. I was covered in blood and could smell the metal tang of it in the air. This whole city is tired and broken and here listening to this flute player I felt the weight of it. "The final song of the Old Capital" I thought to myself. I stepped forward and the music stopped, the page turned and drew steel.

This men is my bro.

Kinda a reference to the flute players in Sekiro. Even the notes almost the same

The room at 3:46 is so mean because by this point you've definitely figured out that they're all impossible, but this one appears to be extremely easy and solvable... except that a tile that's visually a pit is actually a wall and you can't do anything about it.

Uhahahahaha 0:15

this game is a masterpiece and still waiting for that damn remake

Making some of these puzzles subtly impossible is genius. The game spent so much time establishing what you CANNOT do, that these odd corners stick out immediately.

After the 3th" you acquired nothing" "Ok ok i get it. Im forever doomend because i ate the fruit. Its Beautifull

Gotta tell everyone to get the "bad ending" of this game cause its peak

m.th-cam.com/video/ekWHr_x-vGw/w-d-xo.html song gets interrupted by Cif statue.

omg he's literally me

I think you can tell how much the designers loved Leyndell, because of little details like this, the envoys, the praying knights... How many times have you felt like you had to stop and soak in the atmosphere in a game? Leyndell will forever, to me, be one of the greatest levels ever made. Overwhelmingly sad, almost hopeless, but still containing beauty.

4:55 holy shit. literally a blink and you miss it moment

Very impressive storytelling how choosing to forfeit death by becoming voided also shows you eternal life can be a worse fate if you have to live with your mistakes, to the point your character seeks it out floor after floor, hoping to end it all and go back in between streaks of feeling trapped and losing control until the floors themselves start to blend together, your memory becoming corrupted by the same oblivion you craved for by tossing the key to the locker, pleading to forget forever.

Pretty much exactly how I reacted, freaking out, frantically trying everything I could to get out before it changed... I'm still freaking out tbh, this game is messing me up (in the best way)

of all the moments I could forget in a game and re-experience, this was one of them.

bY far one of the best games Square ever created and just left hanging. I want a remake/remaster ( a real remaster, not that bs they did with like FFVIII) and a full on part 2. Thanks for your video.

I think that this is almost certainly the most incredible scene I've ever experienced in any video game.

Tear up a little bit every time I see him

I got a tattoo of the rood inverse and i don't regret it at all, this game impacted me hard when i was young

Even all this time later, I'm sad that none of the Pages will speak to us. They're some of the most intelligent and seemingly normal remnants left, and I find them rather mysterious.

Thank you for this. I got pretty far into the game on my PS2 but couldn't handle digging into all the systems and crafting so that the battles weren't a total slog. But I love the presentation and story. Glad I can see the plot through :)

I would kill for an M-rated remake of this forgotten gem, especially if they give Sydney his own story campaign.

Beyond beautiful <3
