A Suikoden Retrospective

- Oh the Japanese Roleplaying Game. What a roller coaster ride you’ve been these past few decades. Ever since the popularization of the genre since the days of the original Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games, the JRPG just hasn’t died and seemingly won’t die. What might truly be the most interesting about this genre in particular is that in many ways it's evolved and adapted over time, but in some, it’s absolutely identical to the core principles from the 1980’s.

Another awesome video. I first played this game on the PSN Store on my ps3, and i was kinda blown away. It was the perfect length. Not to long, not to short. Althought def short compared to most rpgs. The length always leads me to finish this game once i decided to play it again.
I still haven't gotten around to Suikoden 2 yet, but the length is also a reason I'm more interested in trying it out. A very focused experience is often more memorable to me personally though I do still love my big RPG's. I'm playing through Sea of Stars at the moment and it's more focused attention is one of the largest reasons I'm loving it.
Great video; this was a true blast from the past for me. I haven’t thought about this game in forever, but I used to LOVE playing it when it first came out back when I was in high school. Finding tons of additional characters to add to your party and then going back to your fortress to see what change they made to it/new ability they provided you was an incredibly addicting and rewarding game mechanic.
This game also resulted in maybe the nerdiest thing I have ever done in my life. Namely, narrating my play-through of the game over the telephone to my friend on multiple occasions. He didn’t have the game, but had helped me progress thru it when spending the night on a weekend and then wanted to hear how it ended up after that. I guess our setup was basically like a precursor and low tech worst version imaginable of Twitch!
That's such a wholesome story! That's so fun.
Great video, love the sense of humour!
Thank you so much for watching! Hope ya had a good time :)
This channel is so underrated. Awesome content. Subscribed and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! Thanks for the subscribe and I hope you enjoy everything I have planned.
Thanks for making your such great Videos!
Thank you so much watching! I really hope I can keep you entertained with the new stuff too.
I think we can count the PS2 now. My favorite jrpg, and favorite game of all time is ogre battle 64
I've not finished Ogre Battle 64 :(
It's been on my backlog for so long.
Shining force was such a good game series, i wish it would get a remake or a new one so bad
I need to get through the whole thing, or at least the trilogy specifically. I know a bit about 3 but it's definitely an overall blind spot for me and the series gets so much love.
Going back to watch your older videos after watching your Golden Sun retrospective video and The Chipmunk Adventure movie retrospective.
Would you be willing to do a retrospective on a few often not remembered animated movies from the 80's and 90's?
I have a few in mind:
-The Last Unicorn
-Rock & Rule
-The Fantastic Adventures of Unico
-Unico in the Island of Magic
I'm pretty much not against doing anything honestly. I'm not sure when I'd do another movie retrospective since I've been mostly focusing on games, but I'm not writing the idea off at all.
I'd have to look into this films as I'm not familiar with them, but I thank you for the ideas. I'll definitely consider it since I enjoy video recommendations.
23:26 Me at the casino in Dragon Quest XI be like...
Oh lord....the DQ 11 casino...
@@Zerbraxi Amassing large numbers of tokens will require developing a gambling addiction and multiple trips to the church (where you can save your game)
24:31 the forking chinchorin give me trauma
Legit same!
You got me with the hands up （（●´∧｀●））
😀
You and your Legend of Dragoon references...lol. You gonna get Suikoden 1+2 when that comes out?
Lol!! I can't help it.
I absolutely am. You?
@@Zerbraxi Definitely. Never played it before and I wanna see if it lives up to the hype :)
ah, a tragic outcome regarding the name. he will always be TriangleCircleSquareX in my heart of hearts though.
Honestly, kinda same. I meant it when I said I almost threw the whole drawing of the name out the window when I found out you could do that. I think it was you who told me?
@@Zerbraxi haha, yes it was. gotta love a developer who lets you name your character an unpronounceable string of symbols.
The golden era goes back to 1991 FFIV.
Hmm, I understand that point in terms of quality but there wasn't nearly as many then as existed into the ps1 and ps2 eras. Though the whole idea of "the Golden age" is always gonna be pretty widely shifting from person to person.
Mario and Luigi is the best rpg
The Mario and Luigi games are on my list to cover. I've never played them and I'm excited to try them out. Hopefully next year when I finish up a few other videos I need to wrap up.
In fairness to Nomura, ff7 confused the piss out of half the players the first time around when we got the game all in one shot. And he knows that most people aren't going to replay part 1 of the remake when part 2/3 release, they are just gonna play the next game and assume they remember well enough. I think they were just getting ahead of the complaints that part 2 made no sense to anyone when it releases.
Perhaps a touch patronizing for fans of the original, but I'm guessing it's still going to be a pretty big issue with newcomers in spite of all the extra exposition.
Hmmm, interesting. I can't remember too many people being confused when playing 7 back in the day. Though that's tapping into some seriously old memories so I may have genuinely forgotten. My primary complaint with Nomura storytelling is that this issue transcends FF7 and exists in basically every single story he's ever told. The example in the 7 Remake is just the most "on the nose" he's ever been about it.
We'll definitely see when part 2 comes out though lol. Perhaps I'll be absolutely proven silly. Can't wait to find out either way!
Tetsuya Nomura needs to have a restraining order against him to stay 200km away from any RPG development ever again. Everything he touches turns to crap
@@Zerbraxi you're 100% right. Nomura's fucking awful garbage needs to be stopped like a plague.
Suikoden 1 has the best OST aside from anything outside of FF or Yatsunori MItsuda.
Damn...that's high praise. I did enjoy the soundtrack a bunch as well.
what if scott the woz was an rpg guy?
Ya know, I've been making videos in this style for 10 years now, though inconsistent and unsuccessfully, and even with that I've had 2 comments compare me to Scott this week.
I'm honored lol 😆
I also hate the casino minigames in my RPG games!
Over an hour I'll never get back...
@@Zerbraxi at least we can save scum even though it is never fun 😮💨
How do you do 40 minutes on Suikoden and never mention the soundtrack?? THAT'S WHY YOU'RE STILL PLAYING THIS GAME, because the OST makes the story and the feels that powerful despite the relatively basic premises
I was about to respond to this with mentioning how I obviously DID cover the soundtrack because it's pretty damn good. There are several songs that still pop into my head semi-regularly. Considering how I also touch on music in almost every video I've done, because video game music is incredible, I wasn't sure how you could've missed the part I mention the music.
...until I rewatched this and HOW DID I NOT COVER THE OST?!??!? How am I only noticing this now?! You should be upset. I'm upset!! What a whiff on my part. My apologies.
@@Zerbraxi it happens must have been an accidentally delete on your script text or something. That's all good you seemed too sane not to comment on the music lol. I have a particular fanboy hardon for this soundtrack in particular. I've transcribed several of the pieces to piano and actually did two figure skating routines to the OST back in the day
