I started the Atelier series with Escha & Logy since it gave the option for a male protagonist and the combat looked cool! Since then I've finished all Atelier games starting from Rorona 😍

If they were on the Nintendo Switch!

I just randomly clicked this video in my recommendations. For a fairly small TH-cam channel, the quality is off the charts. You have a great microphone and know how to use it. It doesn't sound like you're reading a script. You speak very clearly, you feature some genuinely interesting games, and a variety of B-roll to go on the screen. Great stuff, hope you get the success you deserve!

Finally someone has Daybreak 2 on their list and so high up too! I've seen plenty already and only like maybe 1 or 2 have Daybreak 2 in it. More have the Trails in the Sky remake. What games I'm looking forward to is: 1.) Trails Through Daybreak 2. Daybreak was my GOTY last year so I'm sure this one will be for this year. I called it for Daybreak 1 last year and it ended up being my GOTY so I'm calling it now for this game lol 2.) Trails in the Sky First Chapter. Now this one might tie with GOTY for me with Daybreak 2 depending on how they do things with the VA side of things, like the English VA's reprising their roles and how much voice acting is in the game. If they get Johnny Yong Bosch, Stephanie Sheh, and the rest back to reprise their roles but with much more screen time that'll be HYPE! 3.) Tales of Graces F. While I'm not looking forward to using Graces' battle system as it felt really restrictive for me unlike let's say Vesperia which has my most favorite one, I AM really looking forward re-experiencing the story and characters. Going through the Childhood arc(man I wish more games had these) to the end of the game will be fun. 4.) Bleach Rebirth of Souls. Playing another Bleach game after soo long is gonna be great and it looks like it might have a lengthy story mode which is always good in my book! Bring on the action, awesome music, and great story. BANKAI! 5.) Like A Dragon Pirates in Hawaii. Another LAD game with an English Dub?! YES PLEASE! Can't wait to hear these wacky yet emotional characters in English, especially Matt Mercer as Majima. This is gonna be fun. I liked the Yakuza games before 7 but I LOVED 7 and after when they started adding English Dubs into the games like I always wanted them too so more of that always gets me excited. 6.) Hundred Line Last Defense Academy. Made by the minds of both the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series I know I'm in for a wild and fun ride story wise. Now gameplay I'm kinda iffy on but I might end up liking it and it might be just a small part of the game and it's more story/character focused with lots of talking/cutscenes so that'd be great! Can't wait to try it out!

Looking forward to eternal stands , replaced , and Judas . Might gift my friend the trials in the sky remake to get him into rpgs

What chest quotes were u referring to ? I bet the first chapter game

I am very excited for Lunar, XB X, Daybreak 2, Sky and Graces. This year is so bad for my wallet. I sadly do not see Kai coming this year. Unless it releases in Summer or something. Which could happen still. Sky is slated for fall after all. I will just play some other games this year first. I will finally start Cold Steel 3 after Graces. I plan to take a lot more time to play games this year. I really want to play at least more than 3 games in one year. There are still releasing too many, but I really want to play more of them. But this year looks really good so far.

Why I love this channel and watch so much of Rio's content: we have the exact same top two games, in the same order. Daybreak II and Sky 1st chapter, those are the two games I'm most looking forward to.

I didn't remember the Early Access for Alabaster Dawn was announced for this year ! I'm also waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds, Yakuza Gaiden Pirate in Hawai and a one man project: Rhythm Quest. A rhythm game that plays like an auto-runner from the very underrated artist DDRKirby.

nice list! for me. 1. Guardians of Azuma - I've never been super into Rune Factory, but I was sold in an instant by that trailer. it just looks incredibly up my alley. and I've played some more RF since and it's a lot of fun. 2. Hundred Line Last Defense Academy - I am a disgusting Danganronpa superstannie and this looks completely wild. I am a bit unsure about the gameplay, but I know I'll be entertained as hell. 3. Atelier Yumia - what you said. I really like the darker tone and I think the combat is going to be awesome. 4. Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter - I'll be the first to say that I am completely Trails'ed out and I also think the original is still perfectly fine. BUT this is one of my favorite games of all time and it looks wonderful. 5. Lunar remaster - I also have wanted to play this game for a long time and it looks gorgeous. I'm kind of tired of HD-2D so I'd like to see more spritework like this, please!! 6. Xenoblade X DE - weird that it's this low considering it's my favorite series but I just don't think the combat is going to be for me from what I've seen. that said, Xenoblade always excels at exploration, and this game seems to have it in spades. 7. Suikoden remaster - it's been so effing long that it's fallen down my list a ton, but it's still gonna be great 8. Dragon Quest I/II - what you said, I would like to see some more footage 9. Assassin's Creed Shadows - I'm not gonna get this at launch I don't think but you know what. I really like the look of it. so there. 10. Ghost of Yotai - same the year does seem a bit thin so far, but I think the announcement of the Switch 2 is going to lead to like 40000 other reveals

I think you named this list incorrectly; it should be 'Who is the best character and why is she Bernadetta?' Good video, thanks.

Funny how you also called in trails in the sky the first 😂 it's officially announced to be trails in the sky 1st chapter but i swear people are going to be so confused (again!) when trying to discover what's going on with the series and it's name. Glad that they removed the legend of heroes to make it less intimidating and focus in on it as the TRAILS series

So far my most anticipated games of 2025 is Xenoblade X DE, Kingdom Come Deliverence 2, TiTs the first and while not a game the Switch 2

The game is named after the German numeral 2, and is pronounced "tzvy" (ツヴァイ)

bought the first one on sale but haven't got around to it yet. Finishing up Eiyuden Chronicles currently and a second play though of Daybreak. Might check it out if i have time before Daybreak 2. I did enjoy Gurumin.

The Ilvard Insurrection is a fun little game! The Arges Adventure is the only Xseed Falcom game that I haven't played yet, but it's always great to revisit the 2000s PC era of Falcom. Guess it's a great game for the Steam Deck. I'd love to see a Xanadu Next successor, such a unique Falcom game.

Is Gurumin inspired by this?

gurumin hype!

I can't wait for your 2025 Falcom video! I hope in it you'll include an update regarding the state of Falcom localizations. Since your last video, so many great strides have been made in the english localization front - how much we've caught up since then, being only one game behind after Daybreak2, shorter gaps between releases in the West (7months), two more localization companies added, the Trails JP scripts now being shared with NISA while they're still being written, etc.

They're so silly! I was telling a friend how I would never find a mermaid village that's an arcade or a hopping mushroom parade on a snowy mountain in any other game The words I would use to describe these (and some other smaller Falcom games) is when they take a whimsical story and apply it to the game itself Having silly moments can be fun, but in games like Legend of Heroes Moonlight Witch (which I know seems random and not many people would know, but is the best example I can think of right now), there is an overabundance of humor in a serious fantastical setting. It lessens the impact of each humorous scene and makes you take the story less seriously, because these kids are just stopping in these random medieval villages that all have their own "jokes" to them but feel the same otherwise How does Zwei approach this differently? The places, the people, and even the game mechanics are unique and non-traditional, it allows you to see the creativity of the game designers and what they want their game to be without the shackles of what a "standard" game in its genre should be That may have been a whole load of nonsense because I'm writing this in the car, but I think it helped get my thoughts straight 😂

I think Falcom wants to diversify beyond being the "Ys and Trails" company. I could see Zwei re-visited in the future, but if they add a third franchise, I think Tokyo Xanadu would be the one added, mostly because the 2015 game is far more recent than Zwei and was pretty well received. It would be easier to do another Tokyo Xanadu game than to revive an old franchise or create a new one. I'd also think if there was an intent to restart Zwei, a remake of the older games would come first to test the waters. So much is riding on the Sky First Chapter remake, the very future of the company is hanging in the balance. Sky First Chapter remake is an all-in move that completely clashes with Falcom's historically conservative business practices. It's a gigantic risk, but if it works out, it will open the door to so many things we want: multiple game releases a year and simultaneous world-wide releases for future games would be on the table. Sky First Chapter Remake becoming massively commercially successful would greatly increase the odds of a new Tokyo Xanadu game coming out, or of Falcom starting a new game series, or of a Zwei or Gurumin revival. A massively successful Sky First Chapter remake would lock in huge profits for Sky SC and Sky the third remakes, and that income flow could be used to take chances to allocate the budget to get more riskier projects off the ground. If I've learned one thing in my career in corporate, it's that successful managers who log a big financial win for the company get the budget leeway to take a heat-check on a personal pet project and no one begrudges them that shot. That's what a revival of these older properties would take: a massive win that allows the budget for Kondo to take a risk.

Getting to hear more coverage of Falcom when their game vibes were pure soul is always a treat! More Falcom fans should absolutely give the ZWEI games [and Nayuta!] a try.

I bought both Zwei games in a sale last year. They look fun. And I really don't mind the grinding if it is necessary. I hope I can find time to play these games at some point. And I am also finally free of Harvestella! Finally! I am done! Now I can play something short before I pick up Graces in 2 weeks. I also destroyed my sleep schedule. But I am still on holiday, so it's ok. Time to finally play Rhapsody! See you for the Graces video mate. I hope I like the game.

No for real though - play their ORIGINAL Xanadu game. I realize this is a video all about Zwei (which I played and I agree, they're fun and a little clunky) but the original Xanadu is on steam and is fantastic.

You don’t need complexity to achieve greatness

She is one of the best female character ever in gaming

I sadly haven't played Daybreak or Ys X yet. I am held hostage by Harvestella and am also like 5 games behind for both of those series. My goal is to finish Harvestella and then finally play Ys X. Or Ys 7, since that one really interests me. I might actually just play Ys 7 before it gets released on Switch. I guess my game of the Year would be Trails to Azure that I replayed on Switch. It was even better the second time around. I hope I get to play some more games next year. I just need to finish that one game first. I will dedicate the entirety of my week to doing this. I hope it works out.

Nice recap! Seemed like a nice line up. Keeping an eye out for these 2025 teases.

Been waiting on this one! I’ll report back when I finish :)

ok this made me actually want to play Baten Kaitos Origins. I unfortunately didn't like BK at all because I hated the gameplay but I did love the world. so improving the combat sounds promising. isn't Ryza great? I love her and her games so much. she's so endearing. I did gasp a bit at the "Metaphor ReFantazio will NOT be on my top list" until you explained it :p you definitely picked a great one for GOTY though!!! my games of the year for 2024: 5. Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes 4. Kunitsu-Gami 3. Unicorn Overlord 2. Romancing SaGa 2 remake 1. Metaphor ReFantazio the top three are some of my favorite games ever. honorable mention to Visions of Mana which could swap with Eiyuden in the "flawed but I loved it w/e" spot at #5 of games I'd probably like from this year, I haven't played Ys X, Persona 3 Reload, Infinite Wealth, DA Vanguard (yeah pretty sure I'd love this one from everything I read about it lol), Animal Well, Stellar Blade, SMTVV, DQ3 remake, Card-en-Ciel, Balatro, LOZ Echoes of Wisdom. very burnt out from Trails but Daybreak looks like something new and interesting so I'd like to check that one out too. I probably forgot a bunch as well. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is unfortunately one of the worst games I've ever played and I hated it. :(

I miss playing this game every Christmas. I still have my original disk and case from 1997. I can't play it because I do not have a ps1 and my ps3 needs to be repaired. It also introduced me to the song Somnia Memorias. It is one of my favorite songs to this day. Excellent video on Parasite Eve.

Recommended by Anton.

The bosses in this game were SO hard to beat

Heard this is a Christmas game so now I'm here

I’ve never played any of these games. But one of my favorite Elden Ring content creators regularly uses songs from the Nier soundtracks in his videos, and the music makes me want to play the game.

Looks like Kevin's back in Kai, though Ries isn't with him. I swear, that girl is going to eat the entire Zemurian continent into the poor house one day.

Imagine putting Velvet, The Punisher, Billy Butcher, and Lelouch in the same room though. Oh, what schemes or conflicts could unfold between these 3...?

for now im having a good time. karja is a treat to see. however....recently they announced a rerelease on 2025(only on japan, still unknown yet of global release) which i expected something atlus would do...not falcom. what are your thoughts?

Not the Remastered version, tho. Or PS3 version. GC is the only GOOD version.

I bought this game ages ago, but I am also Falcoms hostage. They took my wallet hostage ages ago. I haven't played it yet though. I am still stuck on Harvestella. I am sadly not very fit right now and feel very weak, so I haven't managed to play the game for the last 2 months. And I also work and adult stuff keeps ruining my day. I would love to turn on my Switch, but those dishes sadly do not clean themselves. My next game will be Ys X though. It looks great and the Hoverboard looks like loads of fun. I only want to ride the hoverboard. A lot of people in the fandom kept saying bad stuff about Ys X, but I am certain I will love it. And the hoverboard. Gosh, that hoverboard looks like so much fun.

They need to make Parasite Eve: The 4th Comming (I came up with that title :) )

This game has a ballin soundtrack

Great video great game

How can I play ? This is my all time favorite but it sells for $100 and up.

all timer

It's one one the best games made in still playing it this day ❤

Two years later, but if you haven’t played or listened to Eternal Sonata and its soundtrack you absolutely need to.
