i just want it on the record that as soon as you said "gamebreaking glitch....suddenly ceases" the video froze on the frame of the dungeon for a solid 2 minutes, and i only realised after 15 seconds in that it wasn't a brilliant bit of meta editing. instead, my router died. your channel is so powerful that my terrible ISP matched energy. may you long prosper
The director of this wonderful game, Akahiro Hino, went on to form Level-5 and direct such games as Dragon Quest VIII, Dragon Quest IX, Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Yokai Watch. So I guess this game was his awkward training wheels era.
@@FoxMan_FF I don't know. The dev studio, Riverhill Soft went bankrupt a long time ago. According to wiki, many of its employees split off and formed a studio called Althi, Inc. which seems to mostly make Japan-exclusive mobile. Then the wiki article says Althi absorbed Riverhill. So who knows who owns Overblood now...

"So after she made an almost an hour long video about a game barely anyone knows about, she decided to make an almost an hour and a half long video about the sequel, which I'm not convinced that even the devs know about...I have to say, this is exactly why I'm a channel member." - I said to myself, stoically, hiding my giddiness under the veil of complete mental composure
46:16 “I can’t believe I got capped by a guy who can waltz” The writing for this game is fucking poetry. Edit: I genuinely love every performance in this monstrosity. I’m not saying any of them are good. I’m just saying I love them.
This video is gonna be great for viewer retention... because I'm gonna have to watch it three times before I even BEGIN to understand what these developers were thinking.
32:05 That bit is hilarious to me, imagine you're an anime protagonist who can converse with their dead ghost-sister and your opponent just goes "shut up." Like, dude doesn't give a shit about tropes. Even finding out that Protag Boy™ is a legally distinct super sayan he's just "yeah, could've guessed"
"Two total brain cells fighting for third place" perfectly encapsyulates how most of the characters react to almost everything that happens in the game.
I'm just here because I love Peepo so much. I miss that little guy. Great video, too! You have a very calming voice that is still very melodic, a rare combination.
Weirdly this is really reminding me of Shadow Hearts: the melodrama, the "quirky" dialog, characters and plot points from the last game showing up unexpectedly, the "humanity has screwed up but it can still improve so we need to protect it" theme, the final level on a giant flying thing that will cause the end of the world.
I've never actually played this game, but the Gaming Brit's video on it is one of my favourite videos. Such a strangely ambitious game, especially when you consider how different it is to the first game.
Your coverage on these games is so heartfelt, they feel like they were made for you to make videos on! The accents in the voice acting always makes me see these games as some far-fledged british comedy…. There’ll never be another performance quite like it❗️
The obituary for the person that wasn't able to finish the walkthrough was one of the most hilarious things I have heard. Your video's always brighten my day Early, you're awesome!
It's especially tragic because it's probably due to the original print run of the PAL region version of the game having a game breaking bug that crashes the game every time you enter a specific room after the guide ends. The guy didn't give up, the game literally couldn't be finished. If they just had a copy of the revised edition the guide could have been completed.
Sometimes I think our friend Earlybird made these games up during some sort of fever dream. The translation and dubbing of this game reminds me of when the BBC dubbed Uruesi Yatsura.
This game is so damn hilarious to listen to as someone from the UK. When Acarno was talking about being a racer at the start of the game, I swear to god if you switched the racing to football, he would have sounded like your average english fella
Trumpet of doom, did I enjoy watching this. Especially the insight into Raz's affection-based tendencies. Great work, and thanks again for the shout out. Enjoy the holidays.
Early, you have such a beautiful voice; I love just hearing you talk. And, of course, I appreciate you dredging up these forgotten... gems(?), that we may point and laugh at them.
FUCK YEA we back! I found your channel while I was sick about a week after your Harvester upload and during my sickness I watched your entire channel. Your content is fire Edit: Who the hell is Nina?
I put together a cutscene compilation of Overblood 2, because I couldn't find one on YT. Putting that together made it plain why. Some of the cutscenes rival your average MGS4 cutscene, but without the intrigue and good writing. It's still *interesting* and worth a peek, at least.
@48:50 not familiar with this Veronica character, but if anyone is old enough to remember Battle Arena Toshinden, there are some serious Sofia vibes happening. Even down to the color of her whip...
Okay, "head of insecurity" made me laugh for minutes... I still chuckle remembering it. No, the translation and voice acting are THE best parts of these game they have both intentional and unintentional laughs, a lot of the jokes land.
Maybe Milli's surname is Vanilli and she got booed out of the game for being fake. By the way they kidnapped the sister because of her special powers, how did the bad guys did not deduce that maybe her brother, and/or mother and father may have the same powers, since you know its genetic. Yeah, yeah, dont look for logic where it is none, but that specific point bugged me to no end for some reason.
your channel and video content are great! please make more videos about games you think are interesting, never heard of this hilarious game before. The voice acting is somehow perfect.
Though you're undoubtedly correct in that they were trying to ape FF7, Early, I have to point out that this game has a far greater similarity to another, far less beloved piece of media. Here we have a game that is ostensibly a sequel to an earlier title, but drops the previous story and retcons the origins of major characters to adopt a bleak pro-environmental, anti-corporate message and shift the previous focus to the antics of a resistance group in a dark cyberpunk future. What I'm saying is, OverBlood 2 is the video game equivalent of Highlander 2: The Quickening.
Hurray for Overblood 2! I saw this drop while I was stuck at the doctor's office so this cheered me right up. Speaking of cheer, happy holidays to you as well. And was that a shiny sticker I saw dangling at the end?
1:04:48 "it was a happy place. They had flowering meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles."
eating some chocolate pudding while watching and almost choked on it, because of the following part: i feel///// a guy xDDDDDD your not alone its hard funny to me too

Thank you ❤
Best holidays to celebrate this year. Is seeing you play the sequel of Over Blood, that no one has ever heard off.
"I feel a guy."
- Overblood 2.
absolute cinema
KINO
@@zackbrangen1528 writing peaked at that moment and had been steadily declining since
I laughed so hard, this is definitely going to be a good one.
"Our Raz had two total brain cells, and they were both fighting for third place"
God damn that broke me, I'm going to use that phrase LIBERALLY.
There are so many theft-worthy gems here! I personally am going to be taking "X (Overblood 1) stumbled so Y (OB2) could fall"
i just want it on the record that as soon as you said "gamebreaking glitch....suddenly ceases" the video froze on the frame of the dungeon for a solid 2 minutes, and i only realised after 15 seconds in that it wasn't a brilliant bit of meta editing. instead, my router died.

What an experience 🤣 good work terrible ISP
@eCodex the cosmos awoke, made the stars aligned... just to f- with you a lil bit.
"The Sequel Doomed to Obscurity" is what the doctors called me when I was born
Ahhh a second child I see
hello my fellow 2nd born
😆😆 this straight murdered my carefully curated chill. Goddamn.

Instead of the doctors this was told by my parents I am not joking, unfortunately.

people gotta start somewhere I guess
@@lionheartt15 That's true. James Cameron's first directing job was Piranha 2, a low budget fish movie.
I wonder, does Level-5 have the rights to this game? They should bring it back.

That nonchalant “be quiet Nina” made me laugh so hard when I was playing through it 🤣 truly an incredible response to hearing a ghost
"Two total brain cells fighting for third place" perfectly encapsyulates how most of the characters react to almost everything that happens in the game.
You, Mandalore Gaming, and Civvie yank an excited hell yeah out of me when I see a video pop up.
I'm just here because I love Peepo so much. I miss that little guy.
Great video, too! You have a very calming voice that is still very melodic, a rare combination.
Other computers just don't get it 😒
Pipoooooo
Weirdly this is really reminding me of Shadow Hearts: the melodrama, the "quirky" dialog, characters and plot points from the last game showing up unexpectedly, the "humanity has screwed up but it can still improve so we need to protect it" theme, the final level on a giant flying thing that will cause the end of the world.
Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if Roger Bacon showed up somehow.
I've never actually played this game, but the Gaming Brit's video on it is one of my favourite videos. Such a strangely ambitious game, especially when you consider how different it is to the first game.
How dare TH-cam hide this from me for two minutes
the algorithm is truly ruthless 😔
@@early-tvhey that’s how I found you tho
A whole day for me I’m sad I missed peak for so long

We’re Over and We’re Blooding, 2! That walkthrough monologue truly is haunting, like the remnants of a lost civilization
No way there is sequel to OverBlood
Whaaat!? Next you are gonna say there is sequel for Galerians!?
"Honey, quick, wake up! The funny parrot girl uploaded another video" ;p
Finally. 2 Over 2 Blood.
Now imagine Paul WS Anderson’s OverBlood…or OverBlood: The Legend of Chun-Li.
LETS GOOOOO!!
I've rewatched your first Overblood video dozens of time, so this is the best xmas present you could have given.
Despite their best efforts, Overblood 2 is a game that was destined to fail (no Pipo)
They thought we’d settle for unlovable Rookie and Snooper
My favourite part was when Acarno said to his ghost sister "I guess...we are Overblood 2" before the credits rolled!
I'm not even 10 minutes in and I'm completely captivated! Somehow this is even more wild then the first overblood!
The first game have discount Barry Burton, and in the sequel there's discount Guybrush Threepwood to fight against hideous buff mutants.
more like discount cloud since they we're trying to sorta copy final fantasy VII
EARLYBIRB
Another video from my most favorite BIRB reviewer of old titles I had never heard of.
I didn't even know this got a sequel
“I can’t believe I’ve been capped by a guy who can waltz” is fucking sending me😭😭😭😭
For this video, I feel like I'm the early bird
My favourite gryphon released a video. Well, time to postpone my sleep!
This game is so damn hilarious to listen to as someone from the UK. When Acarno was talking about being a racer at the start of the game, I swear to god if you switched the racing to football, he would have sounded like your average english fella
OH IT'S A CAPS YULE MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hell yeah, can't watch right now but I've been waiting for this one! Watched your OB1 video like 20 times c:
OMG just got off work and i know what i'm doing for the next 83 mins =D thank you Early
Did God Eater steal from Overblood 2?!
...wait...
Did GUNDAM SEED steal from Overblood 2?!
Akihiro Hino, head of Level 5 worked on the Overblood games and Gundam AGE.
@@necromancer1983x That makes a startling amount of sense, thanks for that info!
Trumpet of doom, did I enjoy watching this. Especially the insight into Raz's affection-based tendencies. Great work, and thanks again for the shout out. Enjoy the holidays.
this was a hoot. you're really hitting these out of the park. kudos!
OverBird 2 video is the best thing that happened to me today :)
8:38 You joke but I've backed fellas in a bar fight cause they gave me a cigarette before lol
Early, you have such a beautiful voice; I love just hearing you talk.
And, of course, I appreciate you dredging up these forgotten... gems(?), that we may point and laugh at them.

Finally, I can procrastinate my homework for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Oh, and enjoy this wonderfully crafted video as well, I guess
🍿 cinema, “our raz only has two braincells, which are fighting for 3rd place” 😂😂😂 spat out my fucking drink.
From what I've seen the biggest flaw of OverBlood 2 was that Raz didn't sound like discount Barry Burton anymore.
I haven’t been this excited for a TH-cam video in idk how long. 😂 merry early Christmas from earlybird
That buff samurai guy’s music theme sounds like a slowed down version of the X-men cartoon theme
This was a good video, very informative. I only have one question.
Whoo da hell is NiNa?
A new Earlybird video? At a low and affordable price?!
1:04:07 My monologue whenever my job applications get denied.
People are asking "who the hell is Nina", but never "how the hell is Nina?" :(
You’re right 😔
She ded
The title is accurate since I never heard of it.
finally someone talking about this thing XD, you have a subscriber, for real amazing content

WHO THE HELL IS NINA.
You are welcome, again. xD
The absolute madness of 53:19 onward is a highlight that secured this as one of my favorite videos.
You must have had a very well stocked bargain bin near you when you grew up.
aww sweet an earlybird video I loved your last overblood vid it was really fucking cool!
your channel and video content are great! please make more videos about games you think are interesting, never heard of this hilarious game before. The voice acting is somehow perfect.
"He had two brain cells, and they were both fighting for third place" lmfao that quote will have real estate in my mind forever.
I did not see that Evil Pipo twin story arc coming.😮
I want that weird hell door as a poster lol. Love this video and I'm not even fully through it

^~^
Merry Christmas to you too, hope you have a great holiday!! ⛄
MC looks like Fry from Futurama
It's like if Fry and Cloud had a baby
Watching this, cat in lap, and crochet? Yes please
Hurray for Overblood 2! I saw this drop while I was stuck at the doctor's office so this cheered me right up. Speaking of cheer, happy holidays to you as well. And was that a shiny sticker I saw dangling at the end?
It was haha! I've been experimenting hehehe. Happy holidays!! 🎄
Can't wait to watch this at work. Videos like yours make working long hours bearable. ❤
You got my like with the rookie intro. LOL
Who the hell is Nina?
Thank you for another wonderful video Early

"it was a happy place. They had flowering meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles."
Aunt Jane and Uncle Bob never did receive their presents that Christmas.
8:29
Yes. that's EXACTLY what men are like.
I knew it
Hell yeah, new Earlybird vid. I'm thinking hummus this time.
Nah I straight up thought he said gassy before you said lmaaaoo.
For being a PS1 game in a diesel-punk world with a spiky-haired blonde protagonist, there sure are a lack of swords and babes in this videogame
Oooh! I love your videos! Thanks!
Yay! An Earlybirb video!!
Woooooo! I love what you do! Keep it up!
Y'all ever just... 𝓘 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵 𝓪 𝓰𝓾𝔂 ? Y'know what I'm saying?
Honestly I forgot what over blood 1 even was until pipo the robot was mentioned.
always happy to see the birb
its a good day when we get an Earlybird vid!
Hell yeah, Best bird at it again! Christmas just came early
Finally a video I can binge during work!
Love, you have the most soothing, pleasant voice
Thanks for the early Christmas present.
I can confirm even though I have never had the opportunity in this age that as a man if I lend you a token to make a phone call we are now brothers
The plot sounds like it could have made for a cult classic anime OVA from the 80s or 90s.
