I wanna take a moment to thank you all so much for joining me on this new venture into the gaming channel this year! It's been an absolute joy sharing these wonderful moments with you all. Here's to all the fun we'll have in 2025! 🎉
Don’t blame you at all for your kh rankings. It’s my favorite game series, but you really needed to play them as a kid growing up to capture the magic. If I played them now for the first time they’d for sure be lower rankings like yours. With that being said, how dare you…Jkjk xD
LOL not the ending of the comment 😂 but yeah I agree, I'm sure if I had played this in my childhood it would have a higher ranking purely from nostalgia. really loving the story so far though!
Rebirth and Wukong was my GOTY personally last year. No other games can compete in this two games 🔥👍 Although Astro bot is really fun so yeah, i can understand that it won game of the year
Brand new subscriber here! This is a great tier list, excited to go back and see you play some of these games if I can! FF7 Rebirth is def my game of the year.
I was finding it weird that you placed Chrono Trigger so low, but researching your VODs confirms that you played the Steam version, which is actually a miracle to be above B, the game is only a masterpiece on the SNES where it makes a better work at making the player believe they went back to 1995.
nice! i actually played a lot of old console clasics while on the buss (pohne clipped to xbox controller). i didn't have that much time for new games this year but i did play palworld and GOW ragnarok, both were amazing! i just started wukong, so far it's great.
Surprised to see the Zelda game that low, and the nostalgia factor is getting in the way of my views of the Kingdom Hearts games, considering it's been years, so I'm not 100% sure how they've held up since.
I think just comparing to all the other games we played this year, it was hard to place the Zelda game on the same level for me! but yeah, some mechanics of some KH games may have been a bit of a struggle haha, but at least the story will always hold up 🙂↕️🙌
Sorry you gotta deal with gatekeeping inconsiderate kh fans on x i swear people dont realize youre not nitpicking games and trying to have fun with this (tried to help but they dense*shrugs*)i hope they dont make you hate the series keep being your awesome self lunity ;)
"Dont be offended at my personal rankings" Me: KH1 C Tier. i'm very offended 😤 😂 jk. But fr fr Luni KH IS S TIER. But also Luni: Doesnt rank a single S Tier KH 😂🤣. Nier BEST EVER BTW. Metaphor above Rebirth surprises me. Havent played it except a few hours of the demo. Loved watching your playthroughs. Really good choices! Cheers to 2025! 🎉
I was also a little surprised that my first instinct was to put Metaphor before Rebirth, but I truly am enjoying it just that little bit more! Might be all the extra side content that enriches the story and bonds with characters. Sometimes it’s the little things that will give a game an edge over the other for me!
@lunitygaming me sitting here sick after new years at 6am (lol): My comment was very unserious, I loved the video! Yeah but you aren't alone. I have seen others place metaphor above rebirth also! I didn't give it a chance. Maybe ill go back and play it after path of exile 2. I never played an ARPG before but since you like souls likes, poe2 is like a complex top down dark souls...it even has dodge rolls.the bosses are awesome and challenging.. would HIGHLY recommend even the early access as someone who never played arpgs like diablo etc.... just saying. Just don't play warrior if you do, as that class sucks rn.
Minish Cap is another top down Zelda that’s really good, i don’t think you play it, but I might’ve just missed it Of course it’s entirely up to you but it’s an option!
You started to explain why KH2 is not S tier, and then you went on a tangent on how the KH series as a whole (an average?) is S tier but the individual games "needed to be sprinkled out". But that doesn't explain why KH2 deserves A tier and not S tier. Care to actually elaborate on its individual placement?
Me mentioning that they “needed to be sprinkled out” was a little unnecessary (not sure why I even said this because it implies I'm forcing them to be in different tiers just for the sake of it, but I didn't mean to say that), but simply put, the games I put in S I enjoyed the most this year, even above the gameplay/individual story of KH2/BBS. The KH story as a whole is S, but the gameplay aspect of those individual games doesn’t compare to the games I put in S, personally as per usual. To elaborate further - if I compare the gameplay of KH2 to the gameplay of NieR Automata/Metaphor/Black Myth Wukong, it just doesn't hold a candle to those games to me (no offense obv), hence their status in S tier. KH2 is also a little older, so maybe some newer KH games I'll find the gameplay PLUS story will get it to an S, but KH2/BBS' placement is really due to the world, the story and the experience. Hope that makes sense
TLDR; I honestly would say go for showing your honest reaction to each game you play/react to in the series, whether that be the combat system or the story... Both are valid... But, choose whichever is the BEST moments for you that people would enjoy. If its you getting frustrated over a card system that took four streams (four days for you, apparently), then, I would only show WHAT moments within those that you enjoyed versus the frustrating moments that caused you to pull your hair out. That said, on to the lengthy comment for your video below... --- Kingdom Hearts 1 (Final Mix)... Your ranking for it? Valid, all things considered. Yeah, you're right. Clunky is the word here, but, your ranking at "B" tier to start it off with is... Well, let's just say, that's valid. Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain Of Memories (Or Chain of Memories if we're going with the original...Which, I'm unsure which one YOU'RE doing... But, I'd suspect Re:COM to be honest...) Hmm... Valid for a "C" tier. I honestly ain't gonna lie, when you asked what would be important for what to show in your edited version of Re:COM (when it goes up on this channel of your's)... I'd say do what comes naturally, like, your reaction to the card system when you were first introduced to it, your reaction to the story beats... And your overall thoughts while going through the game itself. That's what I would say go for. Me? I simply just recorded my Re:Playing of KHRe:COM (and the rest, eventually) and showed what was necessary... Or, pretty much most, if not ALL of it honestly... But, for me, Re:COM was a bit... Mmm... "easy" to get into... Probably because I played it before, and, was playing on the hardest difficulty to be honest (Both for Sora AND Riku's story...)... Now... Kingdom Hearts II (Final Mix)... Valid. Fairly Valid. An "A" tier ranking is solid... Not gonna lie. When I finished it myself... On Critical Mode? Yeah... Its good. Very good. I enjoyed my time with it (once again doing a Re:Playing of it after 9-10 years later)... Can't say much "bad" about it... Except for the need to do the game TWICE while getting the three proofs on Critical Mode... (Mushroom VIII can bite me... Ugh...) Still. Other than some "minor" inconveniences on my part and end... Well, just, I do agree with your ranking of where it stands. Now... 358/2 Days (OR 358 DAYS over 2)... While I haven't done my reaction on the cutscene movie yet (yeah, I would play the game on an emulator, Melon-whatsitname or something... But, I'm not that guy, nor was the gameplay... "That great" from what I recall...? So, I would rather take a needed break from playing on a hard difficulty of games for a time being BEFORE jumping right back in on the next game after this one itself... But that's just me...)... As for your ranking of it as another "A" tier is pretty much in line with what I would say it would be. ...Birth By Sleep (Final Mix)... Ahhhh... The prodigal "Man... This is still Disney?" moment... Heh... Yeah, the game has a whole ton of "Uh... Why is it like this? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?! WHAT IS GOING ON?! WHAT THE WHAT?!" and so on... But, the issue, I believe was that... It's just a story that needed to be told from three different perspectives... And, trust me... Going through this one on Critical Mode for all three... I can already feel pain wallow in my fingers at this point... Or not... I'm not in the future at this point in time yet... Still... Your ranking of having it be in a higher "A" tier than KH2FM or even on par with it? Yeah. I can see that too... Honestly? You're in for a ride with the series... But, each game has a space where it needs to be (as you said, the overall series itself is pretty much S-S+ tier in some regards... Good stuff, honestly... Even the goofy bits...)... But, yeah, for most of your edited recordings? I'd go for what people enjoy from you. Your reaction to certain moments in these games, how you feel about the game you're playing as you go through it, and so on. For me? I'll just be posting what I've been recording on my channel here (because, hey, I'm one of those guys that don't want to cut out EVERYTHING in my recordings... Besides... It goes by RATHER quick... Or, slow, depending on what part/episode you're watching, I will admit...)... In any case, I hope you, and everyone who read all of this, has a good 2025.
I read through this entire comment - this was super helpful thank you! I will definitely keep this in mind when editing CoM and hopefully I’ll come up with a good result! Appreciate you also sharing you personal input on where you’d also classify the games on your personal ranking! Best of luck on all your hardest difficulty endeavors 🙏🙏 and happy new year!
Found you last year with FF VII ❤ Love your playstyle and cheerful personality. (Ehm...I also somehow because of you downloaded Pokemon TCG and I never play these games normally but you made it sound so tempting on streams so here I am 😂). With Kingdom Hearts you have become my most watched streamer. I usually don't make it live on streams but watching VODs or here. December was little full so I am late with BBS streams 🙈 but I plan to catch up on it. To this video...I really liked your tier list. It is your personal opinion and nobody can tell you otherwise. I also agree with what you said most of the time. Just also made a note to myself that I wanted to mention something regarding Wukong. The coordination there was sometimes complicated because of no map and lots of similar places but for me, for example, I loved it. It had the shortcuts and style of other souls games which made me fall in love in that genre. Not boss fight or playstyle but the style of level design itself. That is why Elden Ring is not so high on my list of souls games. Missing that element of unlocking shortcuts. So...cheers to 2025... more series and games with you. 🎉 🎉 Forgot to mention music...so also wish you all the best with music in 2025 and can't wait for more songs.❤
How dare you have your own opinion and not put my favorite games in S tier, i cry. Jk glad i came into your streams you make any game you’re playing fun and exciting looking forward to 2025. As far as the KH tiers go as thats the series im familiar with all fair tier me personally i have BBS in S just because I’ve never become attached to a character than I was with Aqua after her ending
a pleasure having you with us on stream! ☺️ and yes absolutely, the BBS ending 100% elevated the entirety of the series for me and I actively couldn’t stop thinking about it. amazing story!
Outta curiosity, Are you going to stream for the demo of The First Berserker Khazan? that is scheduled to come out on the 16th?. I love watching your gameplay vids... Also, the Crimson Desert, if it in fact comes out at the end of next year? Thanx.
Oh I didn’t realize there was going to be a demo for The First Berserker Khazan! I was mentioning on my stream last night that I’d like to check out the game when it releases. Maybe I’ll give the demo a peep! Not 100% sure on Crimson Desert however, I don’t think I’m as familiar with that one
@@lunitygaming Crimson Desert is one of the most anticipated games that was first announced several years ago. Covid slowed them down, and there was ups and downs when it came to its release. A lot of people thought that was it, they thought it's not coming out and was cancelled(which they've got criticized because of many times), but lately, they've been releasing gameplay trailers, and letting people play at major gaming conventions such as gamescon in Germany, and Gstar2024 in Busan, Korea. It looks promising, though there ARE some stuffs they should still polish, yet they are saying it's almost done and they recently released a late 2025 release window. Hopefully they can meet that while polishing it well enough so there aren't any bugs...
Couldn't agree more about the Nier series - they are on a different planet to all other games in my opinion, and I loved watching your playthroughs. Personally, I wasn't impressed with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which I gave up on eventually. There seemed to be a lot of filler outside the main story and I hated the mini-games (Queen's Blood was OK) especially when you had to play them to progress. Mini-games can be okay, but they should always be completely optional.

I can’t wait for u to play more of metaphor refantizo. Definately my goty after finishing it for 65 hours 😭
Have a Happy New Year!! 🎆
Thank you same to you!! 🎉

@ a never ending list 😂 Happy New Year! 🎉🎉
Luni: Doesn't put KH1, KH2 and Days in S+++
Me: How dare you...
😂😂 they’re still great!!
@@lunitygaming 😂
You are an absolute JOY 💙
No YOU ARE!!
Echoes of Wisdom in D is definitely the take of all time.
deepest apologies to the Echoes fans 🥲🥲
No worries. Lol, Happy New Year btw.
happy new year to you too! 🎉

Crazy:)

Going to have to thumbs down this video. Can't accept someone saying the story of KH is S tier, but none of that games deserve to be there.
In here to pick a fight

I'll never get over Luni hating Ocarina lol jk

Not putting Elden Ring in S is nuts
