This was a great analysis/video and I'm super glad UA-cam recommended it to me!

Out of all the characters from the Tales of series I really feel bad for Velvet. I mean my christ she has went through so much pain & trauma in her life & on top that been betrayed by the person that she somewhat looked up to. Well at the very least Velvet did got her revenge & saved the world from turned into emotionless slains so...yay

OT3 needs these things to be a perfect game (in my mind: More crossed paths. The way you described crossed paths sounds amazing. Side quests that require multiple path actions to subtlypush players into actively changing their team formation. Formation needs to be available earlier on and would help the first two points greatly. I always felt like my four characters were distant from the four that aren’t active. But, have formations earlier and having party members drop in and out would be amazing. Combo attacks and combo path actions. I know they are thinking about this because the OT1 case has them in their fights. Latent actions are amazing, but I was really coming into OT2 expecting combo attacks because it seems so obvious. Combo attacks would also help the first three points. As, characters can grow closer together in story and that be shown in combat. Secret jobs that are a mix of “you need to find the weapon to unlock the skill” and “you need to beat this mini-boss to unlock the class.” Basically. A mix of OT1 and OT2.

For Final Fantasy I definitely recommend playing FF9

Nah, Date and hitomi are an awful match I'm glad the game didn't push it too hard in the end

I like the Ys games, but never gave the Trails games a try because I'm not very interested in turn-based combat. I'm also overwhelmed by the amount of Trails games out there. I did try this one, however, since there's a demo on PS5, which gave me over 9 hours of play time with the game. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, though mostly because of the world and characters rather than combat. Combat at least gives the real-time option. The cutscenes were oddly inconsistent on which characters had actual spoken dialogue. It was oddly inconsistent on WHEN they'd have spoken dialogue as well. Still, that's not anything I can't work through. When the game goes on sale, I may try getting this one.

Well, I'd like to give it a try, but how to do that without tracking down a working Dreamcast or Gamecube and finding a physical copy of the game, I dunno. 😅 Maybe emulation, but I've never done that before.

One idea I have for a secret job would be spell sword. This job would add a physical weapon strike of your choice to everyone’s elemental attacks. I say go for new jobs that really shake things up.

.hack holds such a special place in my heart, such a shame they've been so neglected for so long. I recently played them back on emulator and there are definitely some significant rough spots that could be smoothed over really nicely by a modern remake. GU is good, looking forward to your thoughts if you ever play it. The story is mostly independent but is for sure referential to the original series, curious to see what your impressions would be playing it without that context, could be fun!

I love Wandersong so much

Grant you there's plenty that I haven't played either but going to the Final Fantasy portion; I would play four first. Not a super long game. Good story. Character building. The first game to use the ATB system. For somebody who has never played one, that would be my suggestion.

Honestly, I have a lot of games I want to try as well. However, There are two problems. 1. Some of them aren't on PC, Which prevents me from playing them. 2. They're expansive. Too expansive. I usually wait for a discount, And even then, The price is still high. Why Is it so hard for them to release old games on PC?

I quit FF after FF 12, so I'm right there with you. The golden age FFs: 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are five of the best games of all-time, but the thirteen trilogy, 15 and 16 are uninteresting to me. Yakuza and Altelier are both worth playing. I played Ryza 1 and Like a Dragon and those are two entry points that won't leave you confused over overwhelmed. Ryza 1 is a new story and doesn't have that many connections to previous games. Like a Dragon is much more connected to the previous Yakuza games, but it's completely manageable. Starting with the 7th Yakuza games is nothing like starting with the 7th trails game; you'll be fine starting with Like a Dragon. One thing I would add though: the mini-games in Like a Dragon are, in my opinion, not that good. Feel free to skip them; they're fairly simple, but they're grindy as all hell and they always manage to overstay their welcome because you have to keep playing them to the point of it being painful before you get a good prize.

I CANNOT recommend the Yakuza series enough. You can easily start with 7 since it's a whole new cast. If you do want to do the Kiryu storyline then start with 0 it does a fantastic job of leading you into the first game and it's also arguably one of the best in the series period. Also don't worry about side content they are all goofy and just a bit of fun. The main story you'll finish in around 14 hours or so and it's epic from start to finish so many twists and turns.

4:22 A JRPG player getting cold feet because the game might be long 😂

Dope video my friend! .Hack is a series I want to come back so bad! I definitely recommend it! If you ever get around to it, I’d love to see your review of it! It’s crazy there’s no way to play the original dot hack games, absolutely ridiculous

Aye, I too have many great JRPGs yet to play, despite playing so many for the past 6 years lol

Daybreak2 coming early 2025 which even 3 years ago was unthinkable.

this is an amazing video, I gave it a like Fire emblem awakening is my favorite game of all time due to how influential it is for me.This was my first fire emblem game and the first play through i didnt know about supports, pair ups, or that you could even change the chracters weapons lol, but the game just drew me into the world, its story and characters. I still remember how id always sneak playing the game late into the night due to my parents not allowing me to play games for more then an hour a day. This game for me just grows better and better like fine wine. Yes its not perfect and i do have some criticisms, but I love this game so much. it genuinely changed my life, which the only other game i can say did that was fire emblem 3 houses. This game brought me into loving anime, strategy games, and the games art style helped me to get into drawing. SO thank you fire embelm awakening for changing my life

He reminds me Leon s Kennedy Just a lot more perverted

I’m playing this for the first time in 2024, loving it!

Just recently finished my playthrough of abyss, and man this gsme just blew me away

Why did people want Troy baker to reprise his role

Wait is this why link is the legendary hero? Because he has the legendary sword and is chosen by the goddess but he also saves people and the world through music.

Really great video. Can't believe I'm only finding it now! AITSF is one of my favorite games, and Date is one of the many reasons why.

Still hopeful, so much potential

I need to replay this again. I remember falling inlove with the premise and how the game started, even if I didnt like how some plot threads went down towards the end of the game. Personally the way I got past the absurd difficulty spike from the later parts was reclassing about 6 or so people into Snipers.... also abusing Imca's specials to fit in as many enemies on screen to bombard.

unfortunately for the tales series, none of the stories make any sense, and all the characters are archetypal

I played tales of symphonia around when legend of zelda twilight princess came out on wii. Waiting for visions of mana. Might pick this game up while i wait.

Daybreak 2 has been announced for early 2025! Very exciting! Do you think this means Kai could be released in late 2025 in the west? I feel late 2025 up until summer 2026 seems like a reasonable release window.

Playing the Remaster on PS5 RN and enjoying it.

I love alisa and the only time I had issues with her was in CS4 where she technically broke up with rean which was stupid on her part for a variety of reasons but she realized her mistake at the end which impressed me all the same I'm glad to see people are showing and explaining the love she should be getting.

And well, here we are less than half a year later, and somehow even the calm and measured optimism of this video is feeling downright conservative considering how much has been announced or leaked, and how quickly we're getting it. It's astonishing how much brighter the future of these games is looking these days.

Would have loved to see a Trails game with a story arc that revolved around the church.

I get teary eyed just listening to that opening theme after all these years

For switch users there's nothing we can do just start with 3.

One big thing kind of irritating me with the game is that each battle resets the last memorized battle option, so I find myself having to renavigate the same menu selections less intuitively. I would also like to see more path options that aren't functionally similar at all.

I was looking forward to it for years,, I even helped fund the game. When I finally played it a few weeks ago I couldn't bring myself to even finish the game. It was suikoden, but flandarized.

Again, The game looks cool, But considering everything you said... Not worth it. I'm glad that you had a good time tho.

it is still with just a couple hours gameplay in my Ps5 library, it is way to slow for me, maybe a update could fix that, since it is just technical stuff, like text speed and transitions.

Almost unplayable on Switch, maybe something you should mention so people dont waste their money? 15-20 fps, extremely long transition times between loading screens and inventory. Game crashes etc etc,

I really tried to like this game. The gameplay's good, it looks fantastic, the soundtrack's great but its writing really put me off completely. Especially how characters were written. I played for about 3 hours and sadly never looked back. 505 really wasn't the publisher this game deserved :/

Thank you I like this game too and on my second play tbh I thought it was weird that no one is talking about it like another crabs treasure

I’m excited for the third game in the series because of Yun Ka-Fai is finally showing up after years of him moving place to place Rean can finally reunite.

God damn you know a game is good when a video essay discussing it is enough to make you almost tear up. Seriously good analysis of the bond between Emilie and Lea, thank you for making this

Thanks for the great review! With the recent pc launch and summer sale, I am looking to pick this up for the Steam Deck!
