The thing about dying and restarting at the last checkpoint is explained if you know the lore. The pilots (They don't call themselves Einhanders, that's the after-war codename the ship was given) were part of a suicide squad to wreak as much havoc as possible and relaying info back to their home base before dying. When you "die", another fighter will have arrived at the checkpoint of the last fighter.
I remember seeing it set up as a demo in Target as a kid. I got to play it. I thought it was fun. I wanted it. ...I still want it, honestly. For some reason the graphics were always a lot better in my memory.
I want to go back in time while I'm still playing it on my PS1. I can't remember what's my age when I played this but I can still remember I re-played this game over and over so many times.
Threads of Fate was a rough experiment but damn I still cherish that game. Some how it got a fan doujin fan game sequel that was pretty good too called Duo Princess with Mint and her sister.
Oh man, yeahhh..I know this concept is cliche in and of itself, and is often unnecessary, but if EVER there was a game crying out for "keep the same mechanics, but update the graphics and sound to modern lwvels", it's 'Bushido Blade'...hell, it honestly could probably be accomplished as a downloadable indie
It's probably just japanese people seeing a german word without context and thinking it sounds cool, but if you say Einhänder in german you would most likely mean a one handed sword.
Oh man, I played Threads of Fate a couple of years ago and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since. I have a bit of a hard time quantifying what made it such an incredible experience for me. I think one of the primary factors is just how cozy it is... The music, the art style, the characters, the tone of the story, and even the simplicity of the gameplay all just feel very cozy to me. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have as great of a time with it as I did, but I was super happy to see you cover it nonetheless! Side note: Junya Nakano is an incredible composer. I’d highly advise looking into his solo albums if you want some god-tier music.
I was sitting through the whole video wondering if you were going to talk about Threads of Fate and then you ended with it. I know I never hear anybody talking about it so I figured it should be on here. You didn't disappoint.
I just played a little Threads of Fate two days ago; it's a really cool game and is among my top obscure retro titles. It hasn't aged perfectly, but I love it. Saga Frontier and the Tomba series are some other notables for me on that list if anyone is curious.
Hey, that's my Hello Kitty Kruisers footage ;) Great video Austin! I've literally never heard of Threads of Fate before this... I kinda wanna try it out now. I've been loving replaying PS1 rpgs lately.
I remember playing a demo disc and playing an action RPG game where you could turn into monsters you beat, and I've been trying to figure out that game's name for well over a decade. And now I know it was Threads of Fate. Holy shit, thank you for showing this game, you've solved a mystery that's been bugging me for YEARS.
Threads of Fate actually was made by the same people as Brave Fencer Musashi. They even have some references to the legendary gear you'd find, such as a chamber pot being called "legendary helmet" and so on. Overall I would say the game was an improvement, but the lack of voice acting really left something to be desired. Also, small correction: Mint WAS supposed to be the rightful heir to the throne, but because of her poor manners, Maya was chosen instead. Of course this was all a ruse by the Doll Master, who had brainwashed her, but that's another story. Mint was right to be pissed and even justified, world-domination aside.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED Threads of Fate! So happy you mentioned it in this video. It probably has more of a cult following than you think. Great story, great gameplay, AWESOME music! I even own the official Japanese soundtrack. Also, you forgot to mention how once you beat both character's stories and have game completion save data on your memory card for both, you unlock the true ending to the game and get to play through the final battle with both characters at once. Such a great game! Every one here should play it!
You might be surprised. There's a hundreds of Square anime games in Japan that never been translated to English but they're still popular, pretty popular in JAPAN :)
I loved gears, but that second half was rough. That game and Front mission was my jam. Though Live a Live was great too and Bahamut Lagoon? Fucking phenomenal with its mechanics. Oh and Bushido Blade.
As a Boomer, I can tell you that Driving Emotion Type is the only game mentioned in the video I did not own and play when I was younger. you did a great job with this video. I have no idea 3d worldrunner and Rad Racer were square games
As soon as I saw the title of this video, I thought to myself "I wonder if he'll talk about that ps1 action RPG with the proto-FFTA protag and the chick with the giant rings?" I briefly played Threads of Fate back in the day, but that's pretty much all I remembered about it.
Dude, I loved Threads of Fate. Finished it probably more than 7 times by now. (Used to hate the Mel stages, but now I guess the nostalgia has softened my stance on them.) (Trivia: Ken Akamatsu was supposed to do a manga adaptation of Dewprism back in the early-mid 2000's. There was even a drawing of Mint in his style floating around at the time. But the project was scrapped. Some of the designs from the project, however, ended up influencing the designs in "Negima". So, heh, all's well that ends well, I guess.)
23:38 *looks at comment section * Bruh... I think you're mistaken here. ....Also, I'm still waiting for a sequel. The secret ending literally set it up, TELL me you don't want to see a charmingly rendered sequel set in desert with spoopy ruins to spelunk through. You do. You KNOW you do. I NEED WORLD DOMINATION, DAMMIT.
Im pretty sure that tall dude with the afro archetype in bushido blade 2, cowboy bebop, and many other IPs is inspired by Jim Kelly from the Enter the Dragon
Threads of Fate had kind of a sequel for the PC called "Duo Princess" where you play as the sisters. It's more like a doujinsoft like Recetttear in terms of style
Wow. 3d-World Runner and Rad Racer. Now you're going back to my childhood/early teen years. I definitely have rose-colored glasses when it comes to the nostalgia I have for both of these games. Had no idea they were Squaresoft games.
Threads of Fate is an extremely easy game? *Flashbacks to Mel's level and the fight against dragon where I repeatedly get my ass kicked* I did my best, okay ;_;
I remember craning my neck to look up at an installation at a Shopko or Target where I got to play a demo of Threads of Fate - Its concepts and design stuck in my mind more than anything from the Final Fantasy series. Never got to play it fully because the title itself was so forgettable, but I'm relieved to know it's a rough one to complete. Also remember playing Bushido Blade at a friend's house, probably just as many years back, when we got tired of waiting 10 minutes for Tomb Raider levels to re-load after dying. The "realism" of BB's body damage, one hit death, voice acting, semi-open-world levels, and bamboo slicing was kinda a marvel for its time. Thanks for digging up the memories.
I’m glad that Dewprism/Threads of Fate was in this video. Even better, seeing folks in comments who liked the game. I’ve always loved the game. Heck, even my online handle is based on “Rue”.
THREADS OF FATE! Austin, I've been trying to remember what this game is for at least 15 years, probably longer, but I could never find it. The only thing I really remembered were the little tadpoles creatures. I played it once or twice at a cousins, then they sold it, and I've been trying to figure out what it was ever since 😂
So many good games on this list. All of which I still have a copy for and play often and on. Especially Ehiander (or however you spell it). Such a good game.
I figured Driving Emotion Type-S was a play on the PS2's CPU being called the Emotion Engine, while "Type-S" was "Type-Squaresoft". Basically that the name was literally saying that this was Squaresoft's PS2 driving game.
Huh, when that game came out I never noticed that myself, but I was in the US Navy at the time, so didn't get a lot of news in English, being stationed in Japan. Looking back, it does make sense.
Oh boy, this’s gonna be good. Can’t wait to hear about the forgotten Squaresoft gems over years. Y’know, the ones that unfortunately couldn’t become mega-successful like Final Fantasy, and so got left in the dust...
Still have my copy of Bushido Blade. My older brother got it somehow back in the day and I was definitely far too young to understand the concept of bushido and honor so... Ended up just running around swinging like a mad man. Still had such a great time though.
YES! EINHANDER! **** YEAH! I heard somewhere that the source code of the game was literally lost in a fire, because I want to see the game get remade. That soundtrack is SOOOOOOOOO DAMN GOOD! I loved Threads of Fate. Back in the PSX era, there was this senstation that Square could do no wrong, and it was totally acceptable to try the non-RPG games they released. I was hyped for Einhander and still cherish my copy, and I enjoyed Threads of Fate's double character unfolding story.
Threads of Fate/Dewprism was one of my favorite PS1 games, I really liked how the models looked for the time so I got it after playing the demo. Now I've played through it so many times, my HP almost reached the other side of the screen.
Thank you *so much* for saying "Alundra 2"...I've been trying to figure out what game I used to play on my older brothers Playstation and could only remember the cover art and the soundtrack. What. A. Relief.
Wait. It took until KH3 for an Einhänder Gummi Ship to show up?! Thats like the most obvious Square themed Gummi possible. Shame the game's so pricy now. It's worth playing for the bosses' mangled German alone.
Bushido Blade I & 2 are amazing and I still own 1 on the PlayStation. It was kinda spiritually succeeded by Way of the Samurai and Kengo but I really wish this franchise continued.
I'm so glad to see Einhander and Bushido Blade talked about, I had both games because after FF7 came out in middle school I had to buy anything with a "Squaresoft" logo on it and made for Playstation. I had played FF2/IV and FF3/VI and Chrono Trigger but FF7 brought everything to a whole new level.
Two of my JP only SS gems were Soukaigi and Front Mission Alternative. These were some of my favorite gaming days, things were so much more experimental due to 3D.
I remember having a demo disc that had Threads of Fate on it. I never could find a full copy, just was not sold where I live. May have to find a copy now to finally play it.
Threads of Fate was one of those games I rented a bunch of times as a teen. I'm a definite apologist for it. It's worth checking out sometime. My copy of Vagrant Story was faulty and would lock up at a certain point, so I never got to see the end of that one. Oddly, my copy of Bushido Blade is ALSO faulty, and none of the cutscenes play, so I've never actually seen the story of that game, despite playing it countless times.
My child hood was full of Squaresoft JRPGs and others by them. Heck I had to get Threads of Fate on my Vita since I used to own it and it got lost in a move. So many wonderful games, but mostly amazing JRPGs. o3o
Threads of Fate was a game that I first heard about because when I went to Wal-Mart the Playstation section had a playable demo set up. I remember falling in love with Rue's shapeshifting ability, and I really wanted to own this game. I constantly played it every time we went to Wal-Mart...and then I just...never actually bought it.

Id rather you take your time and do FFIX proper justice. Thanks for Square Enix Month!
you should play Musashi: Samurai Legend for the PS2
But Legend of Dragoon
I know it wasn’t in English but why didn’t you mention Squares Tom Sawyer RPG that deserves a remake more than FF7
Are you pronouncing Einhänder correctly? The ä is pronounced Ei.
"All their other games have a cult following but this will always be an obscure title"
99% of comments: OMG THREADS OF FATE!!!
I remember putting a ton of hours into Threads of Fate.
AAAAA FINALLY SOMEONE TALKS ABLUT THREADS OF FATE
Olive Rose I know right?!
It's good to know others know of this game
I loved that game, game dialogues are all funny. Well i loved all squaresoft game back then tho lol.
The hope of Threads of Fate being mentioned in this video is the sole reason I clicked on it
I only remember this game named as dewsprim or something
Einhänder doesn't mean "a hand", it means "one hander"
danke haha
more like "wanker"
sorry
Mein Hander

I remember Threads of Fate
Such a charming little game
I remember seeing it set up as a demo in Target as a kid. I got to play it. I thought it was fun. I wanted it.
...I still want it, honestly.
For some reason the graphics were always a lot better in my memory.

@James Brincefield Hmm, sounds interesting! I think I'll try those games out soon
Threads of Fate was a rough experiment but damn I still cherish that game. Some how it got a fan doujin fan game sequel that was pretty good too called Duo Princess with Mint and her sister.
I actually played duo princess
@@Alexeon So how was it?
I see threads of fate in the thumbnail!
Smashed that ｃｌｉｃｋ but not really because that would break my screen
Bushido Blade is one of the best games on the PS1 fight me
Sam P bishop blade 2 was better
@@Nightcast9 I don't think Bushido Blade 2 had body damage. Downgrade.
This guy looks kind of young to understand just how unique and next-gen Bushido Blade was when it came out
I heartily agree...
I agree and I accept your challenge!
I absolutely love Brave Fencer Musashi. There's a lot of nostalgia wrapped up in it for me. I may have to try to track down Threads of Fate.
Ah, sir musashi.. why did thou cometh hither?
Both games are nostalgia in physical form
YOU ARE NOW HEARING THE FOREST THEME!
Stellar boss music in that one. An unfortunately overlooked title.
You do know emulation exists right?
Bushido Blade was godlike. What a fantastic idea and honestly executed really well. We need this game back
Oh man, yeahhh..I know this concept is cliche in and of itself, and is often unnecessary, but if EVER there was a game crying out for "keep the same mechanics, but update the graphics and sound to modern lwvels", it's 'Bushido Blade'...hell, it honestly could probably be accomplished as a downloadable indie
It's probably just japanese people seeing a german word without context and thinking it sounds cool, but if you say Einhänder in german you would most likely mean a one handed sword.
well the Einhänder logo is an one handed sword if you look closely
Isn't an Einhänder a type of one-handed sword?
Yeah, it is. The word Einhänder isn´t used in another context in German.
a... one-hander, if you will.
Yes
Yes, just like a zweihander is a two-handed sword.
Hmm thought it was one of those hand and a half swords ..
Hey, a 1/3 of a second of Legend of Mana. I clapped.
Oh man, I played Threads of Fate a couple of years ago and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since. I have a bit of a hard time quantifying what made it such an incredible experience for me.

Side note: Junya Nakano is an incredible composer. I’d highly advise looking into his solo albums if you want some god-tier music.
Coziest JRPG of All Time👌🏿💯 Junya's music is S-rank
Finally! Someone talks about Einhänder, the best shmup Squaresoft made. I sunk into that game for hours as a kid when my bro bought it.
They made more shmups?
In a weird alternate universe, Ryo Hazuki is obsessed with beating his 3D World Runner and Rad Racer high scores.
Ah yes, my favorite Squaresoft game, "Air Gays"
alright Bushido Blade looks phenomenal lol snagging that asap
It’s the shit
I’m so happy I wasn’t the only person on Earth to play Threads of Fate lmao
Maybe where was living during middle school was weird because when bought Threads of Fate, there six were others who had it too. Ah, good times.
If you liked Bushido Blade, play One Strike, it's like Bushido Blade, but 2D, and really cheap.
Also the new sam sho might as well be Bushido Blade in a good way
Einhander's honestly one of the best shmups ever made imo. Feels great to play and the atmosphere's sublime.
I was sitting through the whole video wondering if you were going to talk about Threads of Fate and then you ended with it. I know I never hear anybody talking about it so I figured it should be on here. You didn't disappoint.
Man, we played the hell out of Bushido Blade back in the day -- what a trip down memory lane.

*Instantly thinks of Racing Lagoon*
Me:Go on. I’m intrigued.
The main reason why people know King’s Knight isn’t because of Final Fantasy XV, it’s because of ProJared.

Threads of Fate was awesome, I know it not talked about a lot but glad you brought it to light
Hit me with that Xenogears. Best game fight me
I take Chrono trigger over xenogears but it's close...
I agree!
Fight excepted best game Final Fantasy tactics lol
I loved gears, but that second half was rough. That game and Front mission was my jam. Though Live a Live was great too and Bahamut Lagoon? Fucking phenomenal with its mechanics. Oh and Bushido Blade.
The game was alright. First part was great, then it got to the long sitting and dumping exposition part and it lost me.
Threads of Fate is so good. I loved it as a kid and even now it feels so cozy to go through.
This felt like all jabs and no stabs. Threads of Fate is a gem I tell you!
As a Boomer, I can tell you that Driving Emotion Type is the only game mentioned in the video I did not own and play when I was younger. you did a great job with this video. I have no idea 3d worldrunner and Rad Racer were square games

I'm getting strong DarkCloud 2 vibes off of Threads of Fate. I wonder if any of those devs went on to work for Level5 in the PS2 era?
I think a video on the more niche enix side would be neat as well. Their catalogue has some really interesting stuff, especially on the SNES
Enix definitely has the more obscure games, but any reason to play Illusion of Gaia.

I remember falling in love with Rue's shapeshifting ability, and I really wanted to own this game. I constantly played it every time we went to Wal-Mart...and then I just...never actually bought it.
Austin: Also the demo disc did this...
Demo Disc: 👌
Austin: How dare...HOW DARE YOU!!
I laughed so hard lol! 😂😂😂
I was waiting for chocobo Racing 2, but it never happened, i love that game!
