Best Childhood RPG Ever. I loved reading the booklet. I loved the cutscenes. I loved the story (i didn’t complete it thought, maybe i can soon) I loved the combat (it was new to me when i was young so i was amazed) I loved the characters (the booklet made me enjoy them because of their story)
use to play this all the time as a kid, although we didn't have a memory stick for some reason so we left the PS1 on all night for like 3 weeks as me and my older brother went through this - loved it.
arc the lad 2 is my favorite because as Elk you are determined to hunt down Arc and his group who you clearly know that by the time gallarno's troops were massacering Elk's village Arc is just trying to hi jack the main airship of Gallarno. it is very player engaging and it will hook you up on how the story goes at the time.
After finding this 5 years later, figured I would chime in that there is a sequel to Arc the Lad 3. Its on the WonderSwan console. Arc the Lad: Resurrection of the Machine God. It takes place 3 years after ATL3 dealing with a time traveler.
Man. These companies would make a killing if they found a cheap way to print off old games like this. Sort of like the return of vynil. But itd have to be affordable. If i could buy a "new" psx for less than 100 and all my fav games for 10 to 20 bucks each id probably spemd it even tough emulation is fairly easy to do.
Did you ever 100% all 4 counting the arena, the 1000 battles, item transfers, and full character leveling across the series are killing me and ive been playing the series since I was maybe 10 but I'm trying to do a full series runthrough? You can totally check your exp in one btw. You just pull up your individual character menus in battle.
@@danielraposo9778 Great series, I actually originally played the ps2 game twilight of spirits, and yea it is really different it definitely made me wanna play the originals.
@@anusperfecto4786 There is also Arc the Lad: The end of darkness. I haven't played twilight of spirits and Arc the Lad the end of darkness. I have only played the 3,2, and Arc the Lad.
Good video man, but just one minor criticism: I don't think you should go into details that reveal spoilers, even if they are only minor. E.g. when you said in Arc II that the characters you recruit have interesting back stories, then proceeded to tell us what some of these were. Another example was when you told us there were cameos in Arc III, then spoilered which characters would be making an appearance. Or in all of the games, you spoke about all the different characters who would be joining your party. I just think it would serve your reviews better to keep these kind of details sparse, and let the players discover them for themselves. For me, part of the fun of an RPG is not knowing who I'm going to meet, and who will be joining my protagonist on their journey. Otherwise I enjoyed the video and found it useful (I'm going to purchase all of the ARC games now).
it's all fine. it's not a new game. even older than some of you here on youtube. instead listening just start the game already since it got your attention. lol
@@danielraposo9778 i assume its the us region version it works on my us ps1 the disc covers r red with the face of arc on the first nd elc the 2nd etc the only one that is the same is arena
gonna be honest, i was the same. i was never able to complete the second, as something always happened that stopped me from continue playing it. but i have to admit, something in 3 just kept me coming back again and again.
@@capcom23 No actually....a lot of people look up obscure games to try out. Spoilers are spoilers, regardless of how old a game is. Downvoting it without watching it.
Why the endless speech which does not let US listen to the sounds and music? Pleaaaseee keep in mind it's about THE GAME not yourself showing how deep is your knowledge
Currently playing this now. How did I miss this 20 yrs ago? I like this game and Im planning to finish the series.
Best Childhood RPG Ever.

One of my favorite games growing up.
The rogue galaxy intro music thoooooo
Caught me WAY off guard. Thanks for the 100 hour long ps2 rpg childhood flashbacks
You convinced me to buy and download all three games to play on my Vita before the PSN store for the system closes. Thank you!
Love your reviews your the real hidden gem😊, and I actually was looking for some good RPGs so definitely going to check Arc out more
I truly love the game and I think you will too, well the ending of Arc the Lad 2 is sad but realistic
use to play this all the time as a kid, although we didn't have a memory stick for some reason so we left the PS1 on all night for like 3 weeks as me and my older brother went through this - loved it.
Necrozoth Damn man, that's dedication.
Lol I remember doing that for gta 3 only it was like over night.
For your first review this video is the best arc the lad collection review vid I’ve watched. Nice work!
im not into tactical based RPGs but i'm willing to give this collection a shot. obviously on emulation of course
Don't like paying people for their creations?
I played Arc the Lad collection on the PlayStation 3 when they had the PS1 classics
@Yung Griff yup
Are they not in the store anymore?
@@kevintemido no they're still on the store you can buy it from the PS3 or the PlayStation Vita
Whats the first game in the preview at the beginning of the video?
loved the review, and the opening intro music. gotta love rogue galaxy!

Thanks for this 👍
Looks like you missed choko
This has me feelining like 2 and 3 is the move
My favorit dungeon of all time is in Arc the Lad. 100 or 200 floors down. Was in it for days.

There are tons of PS1 games on the PS store. Pretty sure the Arc the Lad trilogy is on there. Congrats, what you want already exists.
@@Shenaldrac no. I want it like having a vynil record. I want to own it. I may as well emulate if i do it that way

Truly love all 3 of them

Arc the lad 2 is my favorite.
I love Arc The Lad II and Tosh is really awsome, my favorite character in franchise
Wew lad people besides me actually played these first three
Loved working designs collections
the version i had had different disc covers iv been trying to find that one but its no whare to be found anyone know why this could be?
Maybe different region?
@@kevintemido its the us version
bill assburger hmm that’s weird
Could you explain better? What version?
@@danielraposo9778 i assume its the us region version it works on my us ps1 the disc covers r red with the face of arc on the first nd elc the 2nd etc the only one that is the same is arena
Arc the lad 1 and 2 is like ff6 difficulties and story. Master piece but no one play.
Alundra is same nobody played it and its better than other of its genre.
Sometimes, worderfull games are just hidden
"Deinbeck"? Dude there's no N. It's Diekbeck. As in Deek-beck. Watch the Arc the Lad making of and you'll see how to pronounce most chars.
It's Dick back.....diekbek
Bout to DL this on PSNow. Thx for the review
These a good. Crime you only got 30k views
Also you missed quite a bit by not playing arc arena . Also you enjoyed playing the third the most? My god dude.
gonna be honest, i was the same. i was never able to complete the second, as something always happened that stopped me from continue playing it.
but i have to admit, something in 3 just kept me coming back again and again.
3 is fine. I love 3.
Sweet review tho!
Very nice 👍
at 8:02 ..........that dog is pissing right??
Yes, the dog is indeed pissing
i appreciate this review but some spoilers in the review of part 3 that i could have done without :\
game is so old you should've known the story by now already. LMAO

I wish working designs could of made many more rpgs
11:34
So funnie
You butchered almost all the main characters' names. I'm not convinced you played Arc 1.
arc 2 and 3 are freaking boring. so many side quests bored me to death.
You must have a very short attention span.
