วีดีโอ

I was just messin with this. Seems like a creative title. The camera is indeed awful, but I find this more interesting than Visions already. Visions ...don't love it.

The game is super easy, but the story is absolutely great

Ys 1 and 2 chronicles was my first ys game. I regret selling ys 1 and 2 6 and 7 when I was younger because now I'm rebuying them at double or triple the price.

About the fire emblem: Try Three Houses first, great combat with amzaing story and characters. Engage in other hand... he did have a amazing combat (maybe even better than FF3H) but the story and characters are very very weak.

If only Phantasia had its gameplay, it would be a legendary remake.

Just came back to this review and noticed that you called Tempest a spinoff. It isn't anymore. It's back into the main series because Bandai Namco has stopped using "Mothership" and "Escort" 5 years ago. It is now "Original" and "Crossover" and Tempest is the former. The "main series" (according to the Original classification) goes like this : Tales of Phantasia Tales of Destiny Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon (sequel to Phantasia) Tales of Eternia Tales of Destiny 2 Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage (other sequel to Phantasia) Tales of Symphonia (distant prequel to Phantasia) Tales of Rebirth Tales of Breaker Tales of Legendia Tales of Commons Tales of the Abyss Tales of Wahrheit Tales of the Tempest Tales of Innocence Tales of the World: Material Dungeon Tales of Symphonia KOR/DOTNW (sequel/spin off of Symphonia) Tales of Vesperia Tales of Hearts Tales of Graces Tales of Xillia Tales of Xillia 2 Tales of Zestiria Tales of Berseria (prequel to Zestiria) Tales of Arise Tales of Luminaria

This review convinced me to buy it a few minutes ago.

What's the game at 29:23¿

I need to play more Ys, that music is so rad! 🤘

Eternal sonata would fit in this category, i beat the game 100% in like 23 hours. That includes optional dungeons and bosses, i heard some speedrunners beat the game in 2 hours haha

WOW! Fantastic list and great job!!! Maybe you can do 25 this year!!! Love how this was all laid out too - great video!

So glad i found your channel. Been binging your videos and they are really well said and cozy.

3:37 That is not the only way to play it 😎

Phantasy star 3 was impossible to play, worse than dragon quest and I'm the same as you, fr just not worth the time tbh the visuals and music are also just unbearable tbh

I have all 3 Y’s games on PS2 from Japan still getting this one

Great picks! You got this! Rooting for you!!! So glad you do the same as me!!!

Hey Shinky, that was a great year! you did have a lot of fun there. So many are still in backlog there! But yeah can't wait to reply lufia 2 someday :)

Hey Shinky, that gonna be a fun year! hope you will enjoy it :)

I played through Albert Odyssey for the first time in 2024. I felt it was the worst JRPG I've played on the Saturn. One of the worst JRPGs I've played period, I think. Definitely the worst one I've played to completion. Also did Phantasy Star IV for the first time last year, and I rather enjoyed it. Currently playing through Thousand Year Door, then moving on to Legend of Legaia.

How did you play this game? The text and art look a lot different than I remember.

The good news is even if the WD script isn’t used we can easily mod it in in the PC version later which I am sure someone will do

This is the game that got me into jrpgs and I feel like replaying it

Surprised this channel doesnt have more subs

Lufia 2 kicks so much ass! Inject that Ancient Cave directly into my veins! 😂

I like the idea of Bravely Default's system more than it in practice. It only really comes into play during boss battles and even then, you can usually resort to pretty cheap spam. Basic enemies, you are usually safe braving everybody and spamming whatever 4 times. Aside from the odd quick enemy, it really trivializes random battles, but you need most of the exp and jp I've tried to concept ways to improve on the idea they went for with that system.

I've been using an emulator to run a game called mana khemia and radiata stories these have been pretty fun so far

Xenogears. I know you probably want to experience it vanilla but the Perfect Build Mod and HD Textures and portrait mods go a looong way. The vanilla is amazing but it can be even better

Hello! As a coincidence, I also managed to get a SEGA Saturn on 2024, I'm starting my journey on rpgs from Saturn with Magic Knight Rayearth! And I totally feel you on the lenght of games, it's not something bad at all of course, but for example in only one playthrough I have more hours in Rebirth that people who managed to the platinum trophy, and I'm still far from the plat trophy lol Greetings!

Yea Zelda games aren't rpgs unless you're talking about Zelda 2 the Adventure of Link, and Alundra isn't a rpg either i only played a bit, but i could tell that much lol.

Xenogears is a must play. I just beat again a few months ago. An all time great. Flawed masterpiece, but damn it…it’s beautiful.

Drop everything and play Xenogears. It is that good.

Alundra drips style!! Same as you, I’ve started it a few times but for whatever reason I never complete it 😅

Xenogears 🎉 What a game with so many flaws but still a masterpiece

You're in for some good times this year! Golden Sun TLA is one of those games for me, too! I 100%d the first game, but shortly after spending a stupid amount of time getting my save file updated via the password system, I got distracted and haven't circled back yet. I actually enjoyed playing Dark Dawn, but to say they kneecapped the series with that "ending" would be an understatement. I also really need to play Suikoden 1 & 2, probably the biggest gap in my PS1 RPG experience!

Albert Odyssey I finally played through last year. A good time, but man....those load times. Also, there's a glitch where the game will freeze while loading in a battle. It only happened once, but I lost about a half hour of progress.

I'm envious of people who can make and focus on a list. I tend to do things when I have the momentum for it so I could never focus on a list. Right now, I'm playing through a game I got weeks ago instead of other games I bought 2 years ago and haven't even tried. Because of this, my goals are simple: finish at least 5 games (I finished around 7 last year), and buy less games than however many I get rid off this year. That way, I feel like I accomplished something because I just know some unannounced re-release that I have never played will wreck my backlog. The only game I really wish to start and finish this year is Trails into Daybreak 1. I feel like the remake to Sky will come out even before I even begin that game 😂.

I beat Arc Rise Fantasia back in 2011, and, yeah, the voice acting was terrible 😂 I remember the game being very hard, so good luck 😅

You and I both Shinky, I'll be playing Xenogears as my first JRPG of 2025. I've got the Perfect Works version set up and raring to go. I also need to tackle the original Final Fantasy VII 🤣

Awesome list. I played Xenogears for the first time and year or two ago and fell in love with it. The main games on I'm planning on crossing off my backlog this year are finally beating Rebirth, Fantasian, Lost Odyssey, Ys VIII, Digimon Story Hacker's Memory, Trails in the sky SC, and Xenosaga. I got a bunch more I want to complete but those are the ones I'm focusing on.

Hey, Xenogears is on my list, too! It's such a hugely influential game for me, even though I mostly just borrowed it from a friend as a kid. I was excited when I finally owned the game for myself a few years ago, but I used to have this really bad habit of dropping games because I felt I wasn't playing it "right" or my playthrough wasn't "good enough" which is super ridiculous, but is the reason I never finished the game. Grandia is another big one, also hugely influential and dropped repeatedly for similar reasons. There's also Final Fantasy IX (which I played a lot of, but sadly lost the save file), Parasite Eve (always in my periphery but hadn't played it yet) Dot Hack//Infection (a friend adores this series and I grew up watching //SIGN on Toonami) Tales of the Abyss, from the list of "I really should have played through this by now" Persona 3 FES: Actually played it when it was new, but I didn't really "get" it, so P4 ended up being the one that made me a fan. I know Reload exists, but I really want the PS2 experience Visions of Mana: Basically my most anticipated game of 2024, due to life reasons I couldn't get a copy til recently, but I'm super excited! Breath of Fire IV: The third game in the series was a formative game for me, and I love the few hours I've played of BoF IV Legend of Legaia: Despite only renting it as a kid, this game stuck with me for years. Another one I'm excited to finally see through to the end

Excellent video! I started with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and it's easily my favorite in the series so far, also one of my favorite games in general. After that I finished Ys 1 and loved it, tried Ys 2 but it just wasn't doing it for me. Finished Ys Orgin and loved it. About halfway through Ys IX and while the combat is technically improved upon from VIII, the cramped setting isn't my favorite. Currently playing Ys X which I love so far, not as good as VIII but I certainly like it way more than IX. I am really looking forward to playing Oath in Felghana when it releases on Switch in just a few days ^^

I’m about to finish the ‘Final Fantasy XIII’ trilogy for the first time. Next one will be ‘Chained Echoes‘ since I finally got my physical copy and after that I plan to play ‘Ys IX: Monstrum Nox’. After that not yet decided but probably something turn-based again. The backlog is still healthy, so enough to choose from 🎉

Ive started legend of legaia from scratch yesturday.

Awesome video and really neat topic! :D

is there a way to replace the mouse/ghost that is speaking in the video with someone who is audible? So quiet... soooo quiet

Cool upload. Dude of all those games its Alundra that gets my vote. I absolutely love it. I was so proud to beat that game as a kid. I was about 11 and used to get stuck for so long I would start the entire game again just to feel I was making progress again lol. I eventually beat it, no guide no help. It was frickin euphoric. Graphically it has aged very well due to high quality 2D sprites and backgrounds, the music is lovely and the world is quite dark and unique! Its really quite a melancholic game. Its quite sad but all the more unique because of it. I hope you enjoy it.
