“Perfect”? Here are some unexplained plot holes: -When he went to his home town in the past. -When you go down to Nautica after the big fish was suppose to have went down and destroyed it and it’s fully intact. -Vince being guilty of feeding fighters the monster and just getting a “it’s okay, just do better next time” Really liking the game about 3/4 through, but it certainly has some issues

Thanks for the upload! Also, do I hear MegaMan X in the background?

I never played Xenosaga. Seriously. So this review will be interesting. Can't wait to see you do the others.

Pretty good review had me chuckling, and yeah have to say for a PS2 game, it does hold well up in visuals, among also FFX and KH1. Looking forward to see you cover....Episode 2......and curious if you're one day going to review the anime adaptation of this someday.

I just finished the game today and WOW is it good, like it's a perfect 10/10, and I'm a very picky person, I own 5,000+ games and collect for every system ever made And yet this just blew me away I leveled up every character to 99 before the final fight, im just starting the post game now I finally found a game I like MORE than pokemon. I'm also a huge dbz fan so knowing Akira toriyama R.i.P was a big part of this meant alot to me ❤

Had to lower volume for story stuff but great review and u know I let the video play through anyway 👀👍

The absolute disrespect to Valibro, I can't believe it! 😂 Spot on review Crimson. I would definitely love to see this game remade with disc 2 fully fleshed out. Let's hope Square and Monolith can do something on that front one of these days.

You called? 🤣 Had to stop halfway when you got into story territory since I'm planning on jumping into the game blind myself in early January, but I've been loving the video regardless!

The game is undibutably a masterpiece and even if they had to cut a ton of content and make a really drab presentation, I'm glad the creators found a way to still introduce almost all of they wanted in the game.

Chrono Trigger and….FF6??????? Not FF7????

Glad you enjoyed this game and that so many other people are finally playing this amazing masterpiece 👌🏽 I'm also a huge fan of the story of Fei's fractured mental state. Didn't that arc remind you of a certain character from Xenoblade Chronicles 2....?? 👀 Also for a replay I highly recommend the Perfect Works Build. It'll pose much more of a balanced challenge, have a much better translated script, and much less annoyances with random encounters. Also have fun with Xenosaga I unfortunately won't be getting to that anytime soon 😭 Hopefully sometime next year if I have the time, I need to prioritize other JRPGs first and I'm still holding out for a potential remaster haha 😅

It’s wild to think we got wild to play Xenogears, Vagrant Saga, Wild arms, Legend of Dragoon Suikoden and Thousand Arms back to back. Peak gaming era.

I’ve never played Xenogears, but I can say that I’ve played XenoSaga and Xenoblade. Tackling the concept of Self and being is something I would have never expected from a video game. But then again I can’t completely say that this is just a game…

Do people actually recommend Xenogears? I mean is it really ul there with FF6 and Chrono Trigger?

Wait that title sounds familiar lol? Anyway good review! Been waiting for this haha Looking forward for more your Xenosaga journey next

It also didn't help was that Square meddled in Xenogears. How you ask? Well some of the game's budget went into Sakaguchi's pet proejct: The Spirits Within. That and after Xenogears, Tetsuya Takahashi wanted to pitch a sequel but was denied. He saw the writing on the wall as Square was going ALL IN on Final Fantasy. Realizing that his ideas wouldn't be accepted, he left Square to form his own company: Monolith Soft. And when it came to his next project: Xenosaga. That's a topic for another video.

Act 3 was postgame for me. The ridiculousness of going back and undoing half the characters' stories just to revive Veronica, which you're supposed to be able to do anyway is stupid.

Dragon Quest XI is one of the few post games I actually bothered finishing. Most of them devolve into series of superhard and super boring challenges for ultra hardcore TRUE GAMERSXXXXX where nothing you do matters and the only reward is even more pointless stat buffs.

I told you. I told you. I tell everyone who ever asks for an RPG to play to give this game a try. There’s a lot of little and big things about this game that I really love that I could gush about for hours, but I’ll save all of it for another time. Trust me, I really do have a lot to say. To address your cons: - Sundown Kid’s recruitment method kind of makes sense to me from a character perspective. Everyone in the Final Chapter are seen doing things that would make sense for that character to do (Oboromaru would’ve hid himself on top of a sign near the entrance to the cave, and would ambush you if you read it, Pogo is hanging out in a secluded part of the woods, the Successor you get would meditate on the peak of the mountains, etc.) Sundown is assessing the situation he’s in and taking a look around the area each time you talk to him. He’s not the kind of guy who’d immediately chat with you, especially since everyone is practically a stranger in this already strange environment. The only reason he stops is because you keep tailing him, and he feels the need to interrogate you for possible information. I’d chalk it more towards “It wasn’t executed properly” rather than padding out time cause I imagine that’s what the intent for him was. As for Cube, the enhancements aren’t even that necessary since equipment are what really matters in this case. As long as you have the appropriate equipment to minmax a character’s stats, then you’re essentially ready for the final boss. Plus, stats have a cap in this game that’s very easy to reach with the endgame gear, so optimizing your kit properly will benefit you in the long run. Cube gets the advantage of equipping accessories that give him new tools to use (Chick Cannon go bwak!), and his already powerful support skills and abilities makes him really good despite his slower pace. As for getting the enhancements, you have to defeat the Distant Future enemies, which will spawn naturally if you chose Cube as the leader. While the drops are rare, exploring the map for good equipment with him will more or less guarantee at least a few of them. This is a very nice video overall, and I’m happy to see it left such an impression on you. The game doesn’t really get talked about as much as other HD-2D games (or even Square Enix games as a whole), so it always makes me happy to see others try it.

epic review Crimson, this game looks incredible and the fact it got such a high score from you blows my mind. What other games have you given that same score, out of curiosity? As someone that unfortunately dropped Octopath around 30 hours in, this (and Triangle Strategy) actually look like HD-2D games I'd adore all the way through.

Live a Live is such a gem. It truly is a gem. More people need to play this game and experience it. Now if only Square-Enix can allow me to upload the rest of my playthrough. One episode got blocked worldwide by Square-Enix and if I were to upload the finale, I would get copyright struck.

Glad to hear you loved this one! Great review my dude, keen for the next one! 🔥

Wow! Wasn’t expecting a game like this to get your Crimsonrosso Joe Rating 10/10 with A BADASS Seal of Approval But yeah glad you loved it, I sure did so, even if I did have more Cons with it than you did. Especially coming after Chrono Trigger, this was an absolute treat

Great video, Crimson! Which chapters were your favorites? Mine were Imperial China and Modern Day out of the original group

I'm curious to try out the Daybreak demo just to play the action combat. It's such a cool mechanic but I feel like Trails might have done it better.

I barely played any DS games cuz I never had one, I’d love to play some of these. Also congrats homie

Awesome list Crimson! Very touching story for numero uno. I feel a lot of people who played it can definitely relate in some way. Here's to you reaching your next goal asap! If anyone deserves it, it's definitely you. Never stop working hard and keep making those bangers 💪

I had played Persona 4 and 5 but never 3. So I decided to start up Persona 3 FES, I would definitely recommend people play this on an emulator so you can use save states. Some of the harder bosses are absolutely able to be beaten easily, but it all depends on the RNG you get with your party members. Sometimes you'll have to reload your save right before the boss and try again in hopes of having your party members actually act properly lol.

Hey Crimson, well done! maybe someday I will catch to you lol Great list also, I would add games like, Etrian Odyssey, Pokémon Conquest and the Rune Factory :)

Congrats on 850! I would add DQ9 as well but that’s just me lol 😂

Congratulations, Crimson! Keep on hitting them milestones my friend! 😎

Congrats my dude, well deserved reaching 850 subs! I loved the DS, and you've definitely picked a few good ones on this list, hell yeah! 🔥

Not a Nintendo fan, never touched a DS, dont like RPG games, but still your video popped up on my feed and I liked the whole celebration thing, also your voice sounds cool, new sub.

Pretty good list, congrats on 850 subs *pointing the finger guns to make sure that number doesn’t drop back down* and yeah agree with your number 1

Square never learn their lessons 😒 "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson?Old man"

if you break the orb all of the following is implied to be a possibility: 1. He world could cease to exist 2. You will get stuck in flow of time forever 3. This timeline is destroyed 4. This timeline caries on but just without you 5. It sends you back in time, do you take over your previous mind, is there just another you running around. Extremely vague. The idea is that “there is a possibility so therefore the Luminary will take the chance to save their friend” the problem is “you will get stuck in flow of time forever” is one out of 5 possible outcomes and the other 3 are all world ending problems. Because it’s Dragon Quest and it’s a game I knew 5 was going to be what happens. In context of the story this is total nonsense. Everyone acts like only 2 and 5 are the possibility but the dialog clearly stated by the guardian that all five of those are possibilities. Then there is what actually happens in game for the time travel. It changes its rules to suit the narrative. One of the key issues when you find out who the guardian is, it’s Serenica which doesn’t make sense. Since we know that Veronica and Serena are not only her reincarnation, but she is also their ancestor. It’s also implied that she didn’t have a child with Erdwin. If you pay attention this can cause the player to go “but if you are here who are their ancestors moment.” Instead of doing the smart thing of pointing out history can be wrong the game decides to change how time travel works to fix this mistake. Here’s how time travel works, you break the orb it sends your soul back in time to take over your body at the last orb save point. This timeline in its entirety is destroyed. Causing fragments fo memories of everyone from that timeline to spill out into the past. Over time some people will remember the lives they have others will not, and some through magic can immediately remember the time that didn’t exist. This is honestly an okay thing, does it undermine the narrative of the first two arcs, yes but this function of time travel has an actual good ending. Then the Serenica scene happens. Serenica gets restored, gets given the power of the luminary, and breaks the orb. And… nothing happens, this was so confusing people though she ended up lost in time. But no, the developers confirmed in an AMA that it’s a closed loop and she destroyed Calasmos in other words. No, the other timeline isn’t gone. You just left it a smoldering ruin and ran away. I want to point out that regardless of what time travel is cannon the moment the Luminary found out Calasmos hitched a ride on him. He should have just broken the orb again locking it away in a dead timeline.

Dope review. Whenever i think about how different KH3 could’ve been with 0.2 BBS as the prologue. It reminds me of what square did with roxas in KH2. Would be cool to get something similar to that in the future of the series

I'm honestly really excited to get around to this myself soon! The job system is definitely an interesting one with the way you talk about constantly switching to gain an advantage!

Fantastic review my dude! 🔥

Eh close enough, but welcome back “frustrating masterpiece” title (well both Amazing and Frustrating to be precise) that was used in the Trails to Azure Review But pretty great review overall, currently I’m still enjoying it a LOT! Tho i can agree that it does have some issues

The Xbox showcase last year was the first time I heard about this game. I wasn't even an Atlus fan at the time of the first teaser lol Anyway I'm pretty deep into it and while I have some high praise for it, I do have a number of issues with it that hold it back from being my GOTY.

That 8 year wait was something. I was intrigued from the initial showing back in the day, especially with the live actors lol.

Still want versus xiii came out and want to know Noctis and Stella story

Great video, if/when we do get another Metaphor Refantazio game, I do hope we get a ramp up on the Action style of gaming. I was surprised that there wasn’t a single boss fight that didn’t have us fighting the enemy first before getting into the Combat. I think having a good balance between the two aspects of a game like this would make what is already an excellent game EVEN better.

When you’re running back and forth between respawn crystals grinding leaves of light while listening to your criticism on the grinding it just hits different.
