I don't think Lost Odyssey gets mentioned enough. How about a video on Infinite Undiscovery, very underrated Square-Enix RPG. FUN FACT = Ryo Mizuno, creator of the Dungeons & Dragons style Japanese RPG Record of Lodoss War which was famously adapted into an anime trilogy (Record of Lodoss War, Chronicles of The Heroic Knight & the spinoff The Legend of Crystania) actually wrote Infinite Undiscovery's story & lore.
This game deserves a remake. Imagine a story like jade empire getting retold with modern graphics. And it would be perfect for a takes on multi-player for after you beat the story.
@@pozzo6828 I would add bioware got the Green light to make dragon age 4 single player only . Idk I'm not gonna focus on the negative either I'll like it or I won't. I like inquisition so imma be excited for the next one. You do you though.
@@farmsalot1233 I would love to love the next DA. But I couldn't like the last one. ME was a disaster. And they have a history of not listening. Let's see. They had plenty of chances to make JE 2. Just didn't. So disappointed ☹️
Jade Empire is in my top 10 favorite games of all time. THIS is the game that put Bioware on my radar and made them my favorite studio of all time-untiltheyshitthebedwithAndromedaandAnthem-ahem, it had an amazing story, and AWESOME sound track with one of the best title themes, and a unique, Asian high fantasy setting no other fantasy series has touched since. God this game needs a revival.
Man, I remember hearing kids at school talk about Fable around that time which was rare, because I think video games were still mainly considered nerdy/geeky, and that wasn't a good thing yet. But something about the open-world rpg with "mature" choice and consequence, I think, intrigued even those "cool" kids (speaking partly out of hindsight). Loved it when I finally got to play it, but then moving on to the (in my world) unheard of Jade Empire blew my damn little kid mind. Everything from the combat to the environments, to the depth of choice and consequence, story, side quests, companions.... On and on... I was truly amazed. Had access to a modded Xbox with a HDD full of games, yet still re-played this damn game at least half a dozen times, each time marveling at all the different ways the game reacted to me. I actually just started Divinity Original Sin 2 recently, and am getting some of those same feels. Even nowadays, games like that are few and far between
I just finished replaying it for the first time in about 10 years a month ago (waiting for ME:LE) and I'd completely forgotten that twist! It was like playing it for the first time again.
As a 40 yo who missed a lot of video games due to restrictive parents, these videos are so great. Thanks so much Mr Matty! I like your videos because I imagine in another universe we would be best friends, based on your love for the same games. I've never played a game you liked and been disappointed. I also respect your ability to play older games and enjoy them despite not being current gen graphics. That's a true gamer right there! Random rant but was telling someone who doesn't play video games why I love your channel so much and was great to put it into words.
This really should have been a long-standing bioware IP. I truly believe this game was up there with KOTOR for biowares best. A remake would be awesome. A sequel would be better.... that ship has probably sailed though
One of my favorite games of all time. I replay it every year. It just hits that perfect nostalgia spot. Definitely deserved more recognition and a sequel.
Jade Empire put Bioware on the map for me. It was the first time that I began looking at studios that are making games. Thus my excitement for this studio was kick started and was also payed off with the Mass Effect trilogy (in my top 2 fav IPs in gaming of all time)! it was a great time in gaming and a point where Bioware just couldn't miss.
It's worth playing. I only played it once, I do want to one day play again as closed fist style. I have the steam version, hopefully it works with Windows 10. I may have still had windows 7 when I played originally.
Pretty much my first RPG. It's just one of those games where every time I hear about it, I just wanna replay it again. Short but engaging, even friends who don't really play RPG's have had a good time with it. It holds up.
this is one of my most memorable RPG I have ever played. Loved it. Still use it as an example of what type of game I like. I would love to see this & KOTOR remake/remaster.
Ah Jade Empire! Fully owned IP FTW! Unfortunately, late in the day, we upped the amount of blocking the AI did in the name of "balance". Fortunately, this was better on PC I think it made the combat a lot less fun. I had blocked Tho Fan out of my memory, thanks for the reminder!
Had I not played this when it first came out I probably would have never given DAO or ME1 a try. I remember this being ahead of it's time, and I was right 16 years later. I originally bought this thinking it was a sequel to Jade Cocoon and I was blown away.
I remember getting Jade Empire back in 2006 as a kid for my original Xbox. It is currently my favorite game of all time. I love the characters, the setting the concept, it's amazing to me, even to this day. I play it every year or so and still adore the writing, though as I have gotten older I see its flaws. The game is almost tailor made to an open palm playthrough. My favorite follower is probably between Henpecked Hou and The Black Whirlwind. I find their dialog to be super funny and entertaining, though I usually see TBW as that sort of older brother who is a sort of fratboy that has all of these stories of getting drunk and is a bit of a misogynist. I do like how there are characters in the game that I don't like on a personal level. They're not poorly written, just I don't like them as people, which as a means to comment on the writing, is stellar.
that KOTOR skit was hilarious. SPOT ON Also, pleasee finally play baldur's gate 1 and 2! The first one can be a little harder to get through, so at least the second one! It's so good to this day. I've played it for the first time last year and had an absolute blast.
Loved Jade Empire. The betrayal even catch me off guard as I wasn't expecting the story to be that complex. Nice surprise. No choice on the question as I'm not familiar with either game.
I will never understand why Bioware never made Jade Empire 2. One of the very few reasons I bought an Xbox for. You never ever see Martial Arts-themed RPGs and as a lifelong fan of Martial Arts and Martial Arts films, shows, anime & games and also a lifelong RPG fan, Jade Empire was genuine dream come true. Everything about Jade Empire was brilliant: The story, the lore & world building, the gameplay, the combat system, the characters, the music, just everything about the game was (chef's kiss) extraordinary. We need more Martial Arts-inspired video game RPGs like Jade Empire. FUN FACT: Nathan Fillion of Firefly, Castle & DC Animated Green Lantern fame voices the main character's villainous rival early in the game.
One of my absolute favourite games of all time! I'm also a huge language nerd, so knowing they constructed a language for the game made it even more awesome! Sadly, they didnt use the language to its full extent and only have a bunch of various lines that they reuse over and over, but just knowing they went so far as to make it at least a bit more than just gibberish was awesome!
Jade empire is my bioware g.o.a.t, there was nothing like it when it came out, and after mass effect 2,the bioware mojo was on the decline, and has never recovered.
This game actually has my favorite gameplay from a Bioware game. I actually do like the DnD-style turn-based combat, but I think this was actually a really fun action based combat system with RPG stats and leveling. The sheer number of different styles is awesome. It's fun using a different avatar every playthrough and tailoring different fighting styles to said avatar. I wasn't as inclined to do that in games like KotOR, where I just played as a scout and Jedi Consul every time, with little consequence on whether my combat style. Though, just like this game, KotOR still has a good persuasion system.
This was a fantastic video, Matty. Really funny and well-edited with excellent research. It's so cool to see you getting into video essays and absolutely killing it. Keep it up! You're the man.
Invested a lot of time into this when I wasn't playing Neverwinter Nights and still have copies on multiple gaming apps, absolutely worth the play through. Would totally love to see a episode devoted to the original Neverwinter Nights by Bioware.
I wish Bioware put as much work in their new games as they did with the older ones. Hiring a linguist to create a language. That's dedication, that we won't see from them anymore.
I loved this game so much back in the day. Definitely going to buy it this Christmas, it totally deserves a replay. If you're reading this and you haven't played it, GO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!
When people kept comparing Greedfall to old Bioware, this was the game that most came to mind for me. But when I mentioned it, most of my friends had never heard of it.
Jade Empire will always be a sad reminder of what we've lost. I honestly do not think a game like it could exist today for so many reasons. I've wanted very few things more than another Jade Empire or its like.
I think I was around 17 when this came out, and always wanted to see what it was all about. The XSX is my first Microsoft console, and literally the first thing I did when I booted it up, was download this game and play the shit out of it.
The scene where the water dragon reveals her fate wihle her theme is playing near the end of the game is one of the most sad and devastating scene i've seen in video games
I loved this game! I’d love to see a remaster, at the very least, but I fear the obvious inspiration of the history between China and Tibet would be too sensitive in today’s era, where corporations fear losing the Chinese market.
But, if i remember correctly, while they are strongly inspired by them, no real place, person, or even martial art is mentioned there. And Bioware never had those "big in china" type games. But you are right, everybody is suddenly maneuvering really carefully around that market.
This game has never really gotten the credit it deserved. I loved The Drunken Master and this game was just cool. Great story and I can learn different fighting styles from the movies? Amazing.
Im so grateful i found out about this game. It is very underrated so when i look up for good rpg i dont see it on a list but i somehow found it and it immediately clicked with me. Its the closest thing we have to a last airbender Rpg (sorry for comparing them but it just reminded me of atla way too much even tho i know they are very different). Its got replay value too. I played the way of the open palm but next time imma try the way of the closed palm . I just wish they remake it or give it a sequel. Itd slap on current gen.
I just finished playing Jade Empire yesterday for the first time on my steam deck and usually for these types of games nostalgia plays a role but I have to admit that the game hooked me up I couldn't let it go and the story was amazing! Combat felt weird in the beginning but grew on me. I can't recommend this game enough!
@@lusterTJ I have an Xbox One, unfortunately not a PC player. I mainly play rpgs. Games made by BioWare, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fable. I played Baldur’s Gate and Champions of Norath but it’s been a long time since I played those.
Lost Odyssey!! Also, may I suggest we go further back in time for the next two choices? Maybe like... Chrono Trigger vs Fallout or FF7? Gotta bring out the big boys eventually ;)
I love Jade Empire, am playing it again after about 8 years or so. One thing a lot of people don't realize is the voice cast had some pretty big names, Armin Shimerman, John Cleese and Nathan Fillion
Dude, you’ve *gotta* do Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines eventually. I know the sequel is going through a lot of hurdles at the moment, but the original is an RPG *masterpiece* (with mods that is).
Played JE a few years ago, never got why it didn’t get a sequel, it was really great like all old Bioware games...it would be great to see a follow up set years after the first one...always felt a show set in the universe would be cool as well Also, for future episodes you could do Alpha Protocol, The Witcher 1 and 2, Deus Ex: Human Evolution and some obvious ones like The Elder Scrolls games, the Fallout game and the Kotors...maybe the Mass Effects and Dragon Ages too
It's unfortunate that Jade Empire 2 will likely never happen. They even had some plot points they could draw from based on each character's epilogue. What would the West look like in the Jade Empire universe? Jade Empire is still probably my second or third favorite Bioware game depending on how I feel when I'm asked.
I remember one of my friends worked at BioWare on this game and got me a copy for free and a poster. I loved this game it was a blast. Still have the poster.
I had the limited or special edition of this game (the one with the red cover). It was the only game that all my sisters and I played. There is nothing like this game in term of theme, story, and style to this day. I really think that Bioware should remake or make a sequel to this game. For now, I'll continue to replay it.
I bought Jade Empire on the Xbox store for just £3 a couple days ago. Only been playing it for a couple hours and it's amazing so far! The gameplay still holds up and the graphics are beautiful!
Jade empire special edition is available on GoG and is currently on sale, that version works on windows 10 and has some mods out there to improve performance.
6:48 Not sure how much that can be attributed to old school Bioware, sounds like they hired the right guy and he absolutely geeked out on the opportunity. I'm not a linguist but I would go utterly ham if hired to create a language for a video game lol.
I don’t know if you ever played the original Deus ex but it’s definitely one of my favorite games from my childhood. Wasn’t the craziest choice and consequence game but it had some. The skills also allowed you to play the game the way you wanted and built your character around
Which will be next? Choice A is Lost Odyssey and Choice B is Blue Dragon! Both are linked in the description and on screen at the end to help decide where the series goes next. The most interactions wins!

Jade Empire was one of my favorite RPGs of all time alongside KOTOR
Same. I have it on my pc and on my xbox one
Legit, I was hooked, main reason I was an Xbox fanboy
Jade Empire is criminally underrated! Definitely needs a remake!
True, so much better than some wannabe RPGs that comes out so often nowadays.
@@pozzo6828 like horizon
Spam bioware with this
I hope so!!! I love BioWare and I hope they bring it back 😌
I’d love a remake… Probably get accused of cultural appreciation now tho lol
This game deserves a remake. Imagine a story like jade empire getting retold with modern graphics. And it would be perfect for a takes on multi-player for after you beat the story.
Bioware/EA doesn't care about that. They will go ahead ruining Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Games like Jade Empire are few and far between.

@matthew anderson How would a remaster be better than a remake? The game is almost 18 years old.
@@matthewanderson3860Definitely a remake, I'm enjoying my playthrough but the game really does show its age
That ship that has sailed is dragon age and mass effect. I love Jades empire but Bioware moved on.
Jade Empire also had an awesome soundtrack - especially the Main Theme and The Waterdragon.
I would prolong fights so those cellos could kick in.
@@AmySorrellMusicLol
One of my favorite games of all time. I replay it every year. It just hits that perfect nostalgia spot. Definitely deserved more recognition and a sequel.

Jade Empire is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. I still play it regularly.
Lost Odyssey definitely, I think planescape torment would make for a great episode in the future
I love this game so much. Easily in my top 3 Bioware RPGs.
Always love Jade Empire. I try to do a play through every couple of years or so.
this is one of my most memorable RPG I have ever played. Loved it. Still use it as an example of what type of game I like.
I would love to see this & KOTOR remake/remaster.
One of the best RPG'S of it's time I loved playing Jade Empire over and over again!
I would be all sorts of into a Lost Odyssey vid. Its one of my favourite games looking back on it
I love that game... went through it a few times. Changing styles was awesome. This game was ahead of its time.
Played that game through from start to finish like three or four times when it first came out, and I play it every several years since.
I loved Jade Empire! I played it on the original Xbox and I played it multiple times with different characters.
Jade Empire is by far one of the best RPGs nobody remembers.
I really love the idea of giving us the choice of what video is next. Great little idea for a RPG channel.
Ah Jade Empire!
Fully owned IP FTW!
Unfortunately, late in the day, we upped the amount of blocking the AI did in the name of "balance". Fortunately, this was better on PC
I think it made the combat a lot less fun.

Jade empire is my bioware g.o.a.t, there was nothing like it when it came out, and after mass effect 2,the bioware mojo was on the decline, and has never recovered.
This is the type of video manifesting for a Jade Empire remaster/remake.

Played this last year cause I really wanted to since watching the review on xplay as a kid. It’s a lovely game. Would love to see 2 on the next gen.
Love to see an episode on those often forgotten PS2 RPGs like Rogue Galaxy
Dude, you’ve *gotta* do Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines eventually.
I know the sequel is going through a lot of hurdles at the moment, but the original is an RPG *masterpiece* (with mods that is).
I second that, Bloodlines is amazing.
If I'm not mistaken he never played it, he's seriously missing out IMO.
I'd love to see his face during the Nosferatu Warens section lmao
Jade Empire is my favorite RPG... ever! And Lost Odyssey.
It would be great to see Jade Empire remake.
One of my favourite games ever and one of the two games ea dropped when they took over bioware.
Played JE a few years ago, never got why it didn’t get a sequel, it was really great like all old Bioware games...it would be great to see a follow up set years after the first one...always felt a show set in the universe would be cool as well
Also, for future episodes you could do Alpha Protocol, The Witcher 1 and 2, Deus Ex: Human Evolution and some obvious ones like The Elder Scrolls games, the Fallout game and the Kotors...maybe the Mass Effects and Dragon Ages too
Jade Empire was such a great game. This video brings back some memories lol. Havent played it in so long. Also, I vote for Lost Odyssey.
That twist was sooo good. Such a good game.
I love the idea of the RPG time machine. Great video ☺️
It's unfortunate that Jade Empire 2 will likely never happen. They even had some plot points they could draw from based on each character's epilogue. What would the West look like in the Jade Empire universe? Jade Empire is still probably my second or third favorite Bioware game depending on how I feel when I'm asked.
I remember one of my friends worked at BioWare on this game and got me a copy for free and a poster. I loved this game it was a blast. Still have the poster.
I was playing fable around the time this game was released. Didn't know this game existed untill much later.And i haven't played it yet.
Absolutely loved jade empire.
I had the limited or special edition of this game (the one with the red cover). It was the only game that all my sisters and I played. There is nothing like this game in term of theme, story, and style to this day. I really think that Bioware should remake or make a sequel to this game. For now, I'll continue to replay it.
Omg Matty you crack me up!!! I love it!
I forgot how many times I played this game in my early teenage years but It was an amazing game that felt completely atmospheric. Great memories :’)
I bought Jade Empire on the Xbox store for just £3 a couple days ago. Only been playing it for a couple hours and it's amazing so far! The gameplay still holds up and the graphics are beautiful!
Nice. I play through this game at least once a year.
Jade empire special edition is available on GoG and is currently on sale, that version works on windows 10 and has some mods out there to improve performance.
6:48 Not sure how much that can be attributed to old school Bioware, sounds like they hired the right guy and he absolutely geeked out on the opportunity. I'm not a linguist but I would go utterly ham if hired to create a language for a video game lol.
I don’t know if you ever played the original Deus ex but it’s definitely one of my favorite games from my childhood. Wasn’t the craziest choice and consequence game but it had some. The skills also allowed you to play the game the way you wanted and built your character around
It's a love letter swan song for the original Xbox. The budget wasn't too huge but it was vital for prototyping facial expressions before Mass Effect.
Jade Empire was a gem back in the days. Pun intended. Also Blue Dragon. Great vid, Matty! 👍
This was my first BioWare rpg. Now I own on steam and phone and play it every couple years. So awesome.
