Kim is such a joy to see on the show and she is such a treasure, we all need someone like that in our lives, never stop being awesome Kim and Johnny :)
Not to be dramatic but I really love how much of your channel is dedicated to celebrating and appreciating your friends and family. I really can’t personally think of any other gaming channels that naturally highlight it the way you do and it’s just a great thing to see on the internet
You're not kidding. Those endless hallway dungeons filled with random encounters piss me off! Which is why I think I'm not enjoying Metaphor as much as I thought I would. The dungeons are giving me those Nocturne flashbacks, but without the random encounters.
@@catatonic165 No, I mean almost all of them are just winding hallways with the same few mobs scattered about with little variation. And that applies even more so to side dungeons. It's just the same looking endless hallways. It's old school Nocturne, only without the difficulty. They're nothing like SMT V or even Persona 5 in terms of variety, verticality, exploration, puzzles, or interesting concepts. Maybe it's closer to Persona 4's procedural floor looking designs
What a great episode! Thank you guys for all you do and making all of our Sundays that much better. There’s nothing better than listening to you guys talk RPG’s, in my opinion.
Some RPGs I'm playing right now...... -Chained Echoes (literally Final Fantasy VI with more the mecha element, and I already love it) -Skald: Against the Black Priory (amazing throwback to classic CRPGs like Ultima, and with the Commodore 64 aesthetic too) -Dragon Quest XI (My favorite Dragon Quest game, especially for the amazing storytelling and world-building) -Star Ocean: The Second Story R (amazing remake of an amazing action RPG on the PS1) -Front Mission 3 (one of my favorite strategy RPGs for the PS1, plus it's literally Armored Core the RPG) -Ring of Red (dieselpunk mecha with storytelling nowhere outta place in Gundam 0083, 'nuff said) -Xenogears Perfect Works Build (literally my true GOTY 2024, mostly because of how they've handled the re-translation and quality of life stuff, and they're still working on this game even now)
I love that she really dove into his hobby when they met, and then it really began a hobby of hers. In the end way me and my girl have shared out love of games and hobbies with each other
I’m a carpenter that makes furniture and art all day in my shop and so I don’t get a lot of time playing games any more. But I love watching new reviews and post you put out. Keep up the great work.
I am almost to the end of Metaphor, and I haven't been capitivated by a new series like this since probably I jumped into Yakuza. it's just been so much fun. I wouldn't have really jumped into it without Johnny hyping it up before it came out. So thanks for everything you and Kim do on the channel.
I’m playing “Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake” and it is highly recommended by myself and jrpg fans everywhere. After that, I have “Visions of Mana” still to play, not to mention all the Pixel Remasters that just released on Xbox. Sooo many rpgs to play it’s nuts right now lol
Kim's RPG journey is amazing So many awesome adventures Shin Megami Tensei X Pokemon, that would be a sick crossover. Some of the lore goes to some dark places already Games I have been playing: Still working on FFVII Remake: side quests in one of the chapters. Those take quite a bit of time. I have to be honest, I have never found all of the music for the jukebox before. I think I might give it a go. I still have yet to play Yuffie's dlc. But hopefully will get to that soon too VII Rebirth. I will play you someday soon
Just started Metaphor. Left it til the end of year when I knew I would have more time to jump into it. Loving it so far 10 hours in. Just finished DQ 3 HD too.
This was a brilliant video for some one who is just about to get into the persona games it’s given me a great insight to the games I want to play thanks guys your the tops 👍👍👍
RPG´s i´m playing or played a while ago, that i can recommand: The Legend of Zelda - Echoes of Wisdom Starfield The Elder Scrolls 5 - Skyrim Tales of Arise The Outer Worlds
I am very belatedly playing Octopath Traveler 1 and 2.. bought the collection when they came ou together for PS5.. right now just at the beginning of the first one and have 3 characters so far. Good on you man for finding a lady to be your partner that loves gaming too!!
I went into Dragon Quest Builders 2 because of this channel. It became one of my favorite games. Fantastic game play and what a surprisingly good story.
Octopath Traveler has nice feel to it. The atmosphere they created with the music, visuals, dialogue, voice acting etc. is really nice. Great mixture of everything. Something that many games fail to do. Many times it's great on one or two of those categories, but doesn't resonate with some of the others.
Everytime I watch this channel I see all these rpgs . I keep trying Mario rpg , dragons quest vi . Thinking I will get into them but always just get to a part where I die and can’t get passed . Always fell like I’m missing out on good games .
For me recommendations for RPGS are Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario up to Super paper mario, Mario and Luigi games, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, Wild Arms, Legend of Legaia, Undertale and Deltarune, Live A Live, Secret of Mana (the original on SNES), Trials of Mana, the Tales of Series is pretty good. There are so many good JRPGS.
I’ve also been with my wife for 15+ years and she wasn’t much of a gamer. Some Lego games here and there, but then Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed, Oblivion, Horizon, Zelda…. I’m left in the dust.
Kim jacket is great always love the episodes u guys do together. Like u said one episode Kim is fucking hardcore !!! An she plays a lot of games I love. I'm playing Hogwarts legacy an metaphor on PS5 on switch I'm playing through xenoblade chronicles series for the first time !
I regret not buying the DS versions of DQ IV and V when they were relatively cheap. I do have VI. But there a so many DQ and FF games I haven't played yet as well as many other series like the Atelier series etc. But goddam the games tend to get expensive and rare at some point. I've been collecting them for Switch. It's pretty amazing that you can play all Final Fantasy games from I to XII on Switch and there's also that chibi version of FF XV and probably some others. I was thinking of getting the Grandia 1&2 collection for the Switch. I can't probably recommend that many games that a true JRPG master like Kim hasn't played, but Skies Of Arcadia is a must play. And I didn't see Chrono Trigger being mentioned!
I'll stick to my previous (live) recommendation : she has got to get into Suikoden (starting with the upcoming HD remasters), I've got the feeling she'd love those... 😊 BTW, I replayed Suikoden III last year, and man, would that game benefit from QoL improvements (fast travel, more specifically) : the walking-around back and forth hasn't aged well and got on me, after a while... A shame, because the story of that one is exceptional... Overall, S1, S2 and S5 are my favorite (in their current forms)...
We didn’t like Fractured But Whole at first but liked it a lot more as the game went on. It just doesn’t feel like there’s a strong through story, but we really grew to like the gameplay. I’d say people should give it more of a shot if they only dabbled in it. Not nearly as good as the first game but still a good time.
Kim has excellent taste in games👍 She should give the Legend of Heroes: Trails games a try. They’re great RPGs for people who like longer ones like Xenoblade
2 games I highly recommend that I don't think get enough love or praise are Legend of Legaia and Legaia 2 Duel Saga. Those two games are extremely fun & I hope they get remade just like they remaade Lunar. Other games I loved playing are Trails of Cold Steel 1-4. I LOVE those series & you feel like a part of Class7 when playing those games. Also in my opinion you can't play those games with a straight face because the dialogue is so funny you end up laughing or is so emotional you end up crying.
Kim is such a joy to see on the show and she is such a treasure, we all need someone like that in our lives, never stop being awesome Kim and Johnny :)
Not to be dramatic but I really love how much of your channel is dedicated to celebrating and appreciating your friends and family. I really can’t personally think of any other gaming channels that naturally highlight it the way you do and it’s just a great thing to see on the internet
this 100%
he values the people in his life that brought good times and good energy.
i watch his videos to feel “wholesome”
This was SUCH a good video, man. I love how to held onto all the old photos of her playing these games. Wholesome stuff 🥺
I love Kim's jacket omg, where does it even come from??? :D
Johnny bought it at a convention.
Kim having finished SMT 3 Nocturne gives her the ultimate RPG gamer respect!
Even as an RPG veteran I give up on that one, so frustrating late game! 😂
You're not kidding. Those endless hallway dungeons filled with random encounters piss me off!
Which is why I think I'm not enjoying Metaphor as much as I thought I would. The dungeons are giving me those Nocturne flashbacks, but without the random encounters.
@@corey2232 huh? The dungeons in metaphor are nothing Nocturne, theyre very straight forward
@@catatonic165 No, I mean almost all of them are just winding hallways with the same few mobs scattered about with little variation. And that applies even more so to side dungeons. It's just the same looking endless hallways.
It's old school Nocturne, only without the difficulty. They're nothing like SMT V or even Persona 5 in terms of variety, verticality, exploration, puzzles, or interesting concepts. Maybe it's closer to Persona 4's procedural floor looking designs
It's Sunday Again!!! Thanks guys!
Best time of the week
What a great episode! Thank you guys for all you do and making all of our Sundays that much better. There’s nothing better than listening to you guys talk RPG’s, in my opinion.
Kim is a TH-cam treasure
Now let her play the trails games, she will love them… but they are so long
Agreed. She will eat these ones up for sure.
About that: th-cam.com/video/BZ2vN5HUXgY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BcfZKTL09CQKCTnj
(Starts at 4:35)
been following the channel since 2010 its nice to see the growth
I watch you with my wife so seeing both of you together is always a welcome treat.
Kim was the one that got me into DQB ❤. No ragrets. Addicting, fun, and scratches that creative itch.
Some RPGs I'm playing right now......
-Chained Echoes (literally Final Fantasy VI with more the mecha element, and I already love it)
-Skald: Against the Black Priory (amazing throwback to classic CRPGs like Ultima, and with the Commodore 64 aesthetic too)
-Dragon Quest XI (My favorite Dragon Quest game, especially for the amazing storytelling and world-building)
-Star Ocean: The Second Story R (amazing remake of an amazing action RPG on the PS1)
-Front Mission 3 (one of my favorite strategy RPGs for the PS1, plus it's literally Armored Core the RPG)
-Ring of Red (dieselpunk mecha with storytelling nowhere outta place in Gundam 0083, 'nuff said)
-Xenogears Perfect Works Build (literally my true GOTY 2024, mostly because of how they've handled the re-translation and quality of life stuff, and they're still working on this game even now)
She needs to play more Trails/Kiseki for sure
I love that she really dove into his hobby when they met, and then it really began a hobby of hers. In the end way me and my girl have shared out love of games and hobbies with each other
I’m a carpenter that makes furniture and art all day in my shop and so I don’t get a lot of time playing games any more. But I love watching new reviews and post you put out. Keep up the great work.
Family effort! Incorporating your family really is a win win both for you all as well as the channel.
I am almost to the end of Metaphor, and I haven't been capitivated by a new series like this since probably I jumped into Yakuza. it's just been so much fun. I wouldn't have really jumped into it without Johnny hyping it up before it came out. So thanks for everything you and Kim do on the channel.
KIM IS A POWERHOUSE
- Johnny Millenium
The 2 of you have this ability to brighten our days and we thank you. Game on, you 2, game on.
You two are so sweet together, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, We all look forward to your videos on Sundays
Love you guys ❤ been on a happy council gamer watching binge. so many years of great episodes 😮
As always, Appreciate the content 🙏🏾
I got into RPG’s last year because of Kim’s enthusiasm of Sea Of Stars.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Great video, chuffed you guys are having such a blast
Your videos always bring so much joy and smiles! Thank you for your talented sense of humor and your bright, infectious performances!🦍🐶🏘
I love you guys!!!! Thank you for countless hours of enjoyment. ❤
Nice both of you RPGs Sunday it’s a win
I finished Metaphor Refantazio yesterday. Definitely my Game of the Year. I am glad you and Kim enjoyed it. Atlus has been insane this year.
21:03 Those ice cabbages……
Wow, this was such a fun video to watch, on so many levels. I have to go and jump back into Jrpgs now.
I’m playing “Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake” and it is highly recommended by myself and jrpg fans everywhere. After that, I have “Visions of Mana” still to play, not to mention all the Pixel Remasters that just released on Xbox.
Sooo many rpgs to play it’s nuts right now lol
Johnny’s iconic facepalm thumbnail has become a trademark by now
Y’all are the perfect couple.
Kim's RPG journey is amazing
So many awesome adventures
Shin Megami Tensei X Pokemon, that would be a sick crossover. Some of the lore goes to some dark places already
Games I have been playing:
Still working on FFVII Remake: side quests in one of the chapters. Those take quite a bit of time.
I have to be honest, I have never found all of the music for the jukebox before. I think I might give it a go.
I still have yet to play Yuffie's dlc. But hopefully will get to that soon too
VII Rebirth. I will play you someday soon
I am too playing through FF VII remake. It's really good I am upto chapter 11. Chapter 9 was good but pretty long.
@MoviesNGames007uk so true, some chapters take awhile to finish. The first time I played I think I skipped some quests, because I just wanted to mosey
@@kadosho02good luck with the Tifa push up mini game
@johnlawful2272 that timing is so weird, when I played it on the PS4. Hopefully it is fixed with the PS5 version
@@kadosho02 the key for me is to not focus on the guy
Just started Metaphor. Left it til the end of year when I knew I would have more time to jump into it. Loving it so far 10 hours in. Just finished DQ 3 HD too.
Johnny, Kim, what an awesome episode. Been watching for years now! Keep it up! What are you both playing now?
This was a brilliant video for some one who is just about to get into the persona games it’s given me a great insight to the games I want to play thanks guys your the tops 👍👍👍
RPG´s i´m playing or played a while ago, that i can recommand:
The Legend of Zelda - Echoes of Wisdom
Starfield
The Elder Scrolls 5 - Skyrim
Tales of Arise
The Outer Worlds
I am very belatedly playing Octopath Traveler 1 and 2.. bought the collection when they came ou together for PS5.. right now just at the beginning of the first one and have 3 characters so far.
Good on you man for finding a lady to be your partner that loves gaming too!!
I went into Dragon Quest Builders 2 because of this channel. It became one of my favorite games. Fantastic game play and what a surprisingly good story.
This is a wonderful channel and I couldn't imagine it without Kim!
A couple of day ago I finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, including secret bosses. Currently playing through it a second time.
Great video!
Recently finished DQ 11 and now after years of having it, I’m finally giving Octopath a chance.
Looking forward ti Suikoden remake.
Octopath Traveler has nice feel to it. The atmosphere they created with the music, visuals, dialogue, voice acting etc. is really nice. Great mixture of everything. Something that many games fail to do. Many times it's great on one or two of those categories, but doesn't resonate with some of the others.
When you see a new happy console gamer video you click.
I want to start the xenoblade series and catch up with trails finally getting to tails of arise
The shine on Kim’s eyes tells a lot! Lovely video!
If she's never played it, Kim must experience new Pokémon snap for the switch! It's fantastic and it's very relaxing
Your channel is where every video is a new story and discovery. Keep on surprising and inspiring us!🐷🍄🚤
That's a nice jacket Kim has. Aigis was my favorite character from Persona 3
Everytime I watch this channel I see all these rpgs . I keep trying Mario rpg , dragons quest vi . Thinking I will get into them but always just get to a part where I die and can’t get passed . Always fell like I’m missing out on good games .
We all love having Kim on 🎉🎉 Her energy is a delight
For me recommendations for RPGS are Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario up to Super paper mario, Mario and Luigi games, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, Wild Arms, Legend of Legaia, Undertale and Deltarune, Live A Live, Secret of Mana (the original on SNES), Trials of Mana, the Tales of Series is pretty good. There are so many good JRPGS.
Y’all are so cute fr I wish you guys all the happiness in the world
I love RPGs, one of my favorite genres. Good work Kim
Kim loves Dragon Warrior/Quest
No kidding, Kim's Jacket is awesome! I need that jacket
Johnny please put the Christmas tree back up when you do videos on your own! It really gets me into the spirit. 🙂
I love the pictures showing the final boss fights 😂
the best couple out there. i love seeing you both so happy🥰
Hey Kim that's an RPG uniform. 😅
I’ve also been with my wife for 15+ years and she wasn’t much of a gamer. Some Lego games here and there, but then Red Dead Redemption, Assassin’s Creed, Oblivion, Horizon, Zelda…. I’m left in the dust.
Playing Mother 3 (emulated obviously). It's blown my socks off.
Johnny when is the Christmas episode with Rob man! You should have Kim in it too!!!
You should play The Legend of Heroes (Trails Series)
Kim aka "Secret Sauce", love it 🤣💖
Kim jacket is great always love the episodes u guys do together. Like u said one episode Kim is fucking hardcore !!! An she plays a lot of games I love. I'm playing Hogwarts legacy an metaphor on PS5 on switch I'm playing through xenoblade chronicles series for the first time !

And I didn't see Chrono Trigger being mentioned!
I finished Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim this year. I'd like to finish more including JRPGs.
Fantasy Life and Dragon Quest Builders, sooooo good. I'm dying for them to announce the 3rd Builders game too!
Awesome accomplishment Kim 🎉
DQB 3 when? DQB 2 is definitely one of my favorite DQ games overall.
Agreed about xbc2. Torna was alot better and what we should’ve gotten
That’s awesome! I wonder if Kim will ever get into the Fire Emblem series.
I'm currently catching up on Persona 4 Golden on PS4, what a wonderful game. I really enjoyed the characters and the story 🥳💕
Looking forward to the day a CRPG joins the list of Kim's beat games
I love Kim in the videos! We have very similar taste!
Forgot Hogwarts Legacy - Kim’s documented top RPG!
I'm going to steal Kim's jacket.
DQ8 was the first DQ game I played. Loved it.
I am playing Reynatis and Mario and Luigi Brothership
Awesome video Johnny & Kim yeah guy & lady 😎!
awesome RPGs, Kim!
I'll stick to my previous (live) recommendation : she has got to get into Suikoden (starting with the upcoming HD remasters), I've got the feeling she'd love those... 😊

I’d say people should give it more of a shot if they only dabbled in it. Not nearly as good as the first game but still a good time.
I’ve beaten Skies of Arcadia 10 times in my life which only equates to about 500 Hours.
Kim has excellent taste in games👍 She should give the Legend of Heroes: Trails games a try. They’re great RPGs for people who like longer ones like Xenoblade
Great video, I wish I could get my wife to game! Super jealous of Kim gaming with you!
I thought for sure this weekend’s episode was gonna be about the game of the year nominees. Rebirth gets my vote.
Kim’s RPG Quest
Currently playing Fire Emblem 3 Houses on new game+ and it is so much fun.
2 games I highly recommend that I don't think get enough love or praise are Legend of Legaia and Legaia 2 Duel Saga. Those two games are extremely fun & I hope they get remade just like they remaade Lunar. Other games I loved playing are Trails of Cold Steel 1-4. I LOVE those series & you feel like a part of Class7 when playing those games. Also in my opinion you can't play those games with a straight face because the dialogue is so funny you end up laughing or is so emotional you end up crying.
Hold on a minute, you're supposed to finish games?!!!??? So that's where I'm going wrong with my backlog 😂
Great Vid. I would love to see what she thinks of the Kingdom Hearts series.
This video reminds me of all the RPGs I have not finished nor started. Let’s just say I’m pretty much set if games continue to suck next year lol.
Kim looking badass with that jacket,, she's also inspired me to get Zelda EOW!🍿🍿🎉
Dragon Quest gets people hooked, I swear. Still DQ3 is still my favorite
Kim is the official Queen of JRPGs
Just finished veilguard and started my 2nd playthrough of ff7 rebirth. Rebirth = GOTY
Finally playing Dragon Quest 11 and loving it
