- In this video we do a deep dive into the origins of SFX and how that evolved to become the Mass Effect we know today. We explore how Captain Anderson became Commander Shepard and how the Nazari became the reapers.
Thank you for watching and check out my other videos!

Glad you covered this, because anyone who played Andromeda should be perking up when you realize they made that story inspired by the original concept
Codex Entry: "SFX".
Side note, It'd be so cool if you were cast as the Codex narrator in the next Mass Effect (Which is a feature I'd love to return).
Really like your vibe and what you got going on with this channel. Keep it up. Your channel will blow up once we get some official news. Trust.
Thank you so much, I sure hope so!
I was already impressed by the game the first time I played it a little more than a decade ago, my appreciation has only grown since, especially since I now work as a QA for AAA company. There are so many things that need to go right for a game to be good, while a team has to navigate between the game they want to make and the game they actually can make, that when everything comes together, like it did for the Mass Effect trilogy, it is truly special. The brilliant idea of importing your save files into the next game, the story, the characters, the mood, the music... Everything just clicked! I really hope I'll have the chance to work on a game that resonates with people, that players still care about 15 years later!
I couldn’t help but hearing 2000 N7 throughout the whole video
Oh, man. The evolution of this franchise was certainly a developmental journey. Thank you for this nostalgic look into Mass Effect's origins! Casey Hudson's vision to make a franchise Bioware could call its own makes me fall in love all over again with him and his epic friends. I love that they decided to make Captain Anderson the beloved character he became. I wouldn't touch a thing in ME1.
Freaking LOVE seeing development art and how things could have looked or how they've evolved. Great video!
watching this and reading about ideas for SFX really reminds me Andromeda.
I remember being soo hyped for this game back in 2006. I remember driving to gamestop with my gf at the time and pre-ordered the game. Then I remember first thing in the morning in Nov 2007, picking up this game and being blown away!
it's like you had a great idea for a fictional essay but it's like nothing that you envisioned at the end...lol
Very informative, I didn't know about a lot of this. Thanks!
Very informative. I didn’t know the majority of the things discussed in the video. Like Captain Anderson was going to be the main character, being able to play as other members of the team, that they were going with ‘humans being a slave race’ and fighting against the other Citadle races for dominance over the Milky Way. Interesting stuff.
Thanks for being amazing as always Kala.
P. S. I’ve heard that SFX stood for ‘Science Fiction X’ and that was going to be the name of the games. Until Casey found out there was already a magazine with that name. Know anything about it?
Just found your channel recently and i gotta say:i f.kin love your content,insta subbed!!Finally someone who makes vids about interesting facts and lore,not just the usual "did you know these facts about Shepard(if you havent played the game)".Im a HUGE mass effect fan,this game is the NO1 for me and forewer will be the masterpiece.It means sooo much for me,and by your content i get to know a lot of interesting stories and lore.Thank you.
Also,to this video:i never knew how Mass Effect came to be,such an interesting video.Although to be fair if i saw that trailer before the game came out,im not sure i'd have played it..the 1st trailer looked kinda meh tbh.So glad they changed many bits.
I'm so glad you like it! I'm a newer fan so I like learning about the franchises history!
It's slightly weird seeing Proto-Shepard wearing Ashley's amour colour scheme. A lot of really interesting stuff, that's actually new to me. All games go through development changes but I had no idea that there were so many well-developed ideas that got repurposed. I remember seeing early footage of what the Halo series was supposed to be before it was an FPS. It's strange thinking about how a game could have been if different choices were made. Some of these ideas are different, i wouldn't say better but they're not worse either. The most interesting concept is the 2nd Salarian Species. As if there were still a specific Neandertal Species on Earth. My interpretation would have been going out into the universe to find planets with other groups of Salarian's, Krogan, Asari or Turian who had been placed there by the Ancients. Because they are not native to that planet like the rest of the flora and fauna, they would be distinct from those on their original homeworlds. Although it would have been a bit 'Stargate' at the time, I don't think it's a whollyy unique concept either.
I think it’s very helpful info and very interesting they can branch out on a lot of different directions to make another trilogy and that’s partly why I think Shep and the crew will return for another adventure I mean really who doesn’t want to explore the galaxy?
Nice evolution! ^^ Somehow this makes me want to play a presequel as Anderson - the story would be found in the book...
For ME 5 I would like to see a lot more of the RPG elements return (e.g. a return to the original skill system). The skill sysytem kept being watered down, until in Andormeda we had less skills to use during game without switching out our build. Also they need to take into account th fleibilty of keybaird & Mouse as the 5th gen consoles can use keyboards.
Both are very good; They also need to bring back the exploration from Mass Effect Andromeda; combine it with the exploration system from Mass Effect 1, and then simply tweak the results so that we can still get our open exploration alongside the story and characters.
love the video & I wish they would`ve kept the Lystheni in the game with a few more extra missions also I would`ve liked to seen the Ralio & virtual aliens in mass effect 2 or mass effect 3 but I hope I see them in Mass effect 5.
I will always remember the trailer for ME1 that was on TV - still a rarity back then; thinking, wow, is this a game that defined your choices? And it did.
And then the uproar started; that Shepard could sleep with countless lovers - I was so disappointed when that turned out not to be true.🤣🤣🤣
I still run into ME "fans" who think the main theme is "Kill the Reapers" it's this AI conflict.
Is this possibly related to the "SFX" tag on the ship in the Geth form crater poster???
yep! SFX is a reference to the original game
Where are those video clips from? The ones showing shepard and team looking at the display of Noveria, or Shepard and Ash sitting in the Mako
The majority of this info is from The Final Hours of Mass Effect 3!

That mouth…Report to the ship as soon as possible. We’ll bang, ok?
So, the Reapers were inspired by a robotic fleshlight. Can’t wait to tell them that the next time I k*ll one.
Cool thanks!
Fascinating 🥰
Engineered by ancient aliens? Sounds like the Angara
:O the robot
Wooo! *popcorn*
👍🏼
Me waking up every Monday morning: 6:50
Surprisingly for such an old game the initial facial animations in the pre-release footage was way ahead of its time.That says so poorly for ME:A, Frostbite's animation system is a huge pile of shit and that goes for the large swathe of dimwits who defend frostbite like the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is a shit engine and should be called out as such. UE4 would have made life far easier but Bioware being the thrall of EA were forced to use that dogshit of an engine to save on licensing fees to Epic Games. It is still up in the air if the next mass effect will be allowed to use UE5.x regardless of what a certain job listing might lead one to assume.
Mac Walters was a nuisance with his Cerberus pitches, the first game would have been ruined if he was allowed to stuff his nonsense in there. It had its time in ME2 and was OK, TIM was the only interesting aspect of Cerberus everything else being low quality fillers to be honest. ME3 was ruined because Walters refused to let go of that bullshit, if the entire Cerberus arc was cut out from ME3 we could have had room for real Shepard + crew VS reapers content in there. Oh yeah and actually doing something to take back earth would have been nice, instead we are to assume Earth was taken back in cut scenes. What a load of stinkng Kai Leng (yep it's a swear now). Good riddance to Mac Walters, wont be missed.
Wow, Ashley’s original voice was awful.
I'm calling the next game Mass Effect 7 for now, because ME3 really had 3 endings, then of course Andromeda. Which wasn't a continuation of the orignal story nor officially given a number designation. So we should probably just call that one Andromeda considering it was given its very own name and story. So scratch that, the next game will be known as Mass Effect 6 for now because I said so.
Or really if we want we could count Andromeda as -1 so we're back down to 4. BTW, Mass Effect 4 is what it will be called if Shepard returns. Andromeda 2 if Ryder and the crew of the...Nantucket... I want to say, returns. Or Mass Effect (new subtitle) if we're getting a new protagonist. I'll eat my own shoes live on TH-cam if it called Mass Effect 5. Just saying...call it whatever you want now, no hate, just nerding out over specifics. Also I'm sorry but Andromeda IS NOT Mass Effect 4, officially or even unofficially. I guarantee the next game won't be called Mass Effect 5 unless it's a dual release with the 4th game included.
You say you're not hating, but you are doing a terrible job at lying.
