Signalis Will Make You Appreciate Storytelling
Signalis made me lose my mind twice: once after trying to figure out the story, and again after deciding to make this video.
I forgot to mention it at the end, but as per usual if this (admittedly strange) video stunk, feel free to let me know in the comments. That way I'll know to take my medication before writing and recording it. There was a ton of stuff I cut from this video just to make it as coherent as it is now.
I'll be in the comments for this one for a little while, pinning comments if I think they add to the conversation. Please try to avoid any giga spoiler stuff, but y'know, its the comment section.
Credits:
- Signalis was made by Rose Engine, AKA Yuri Stern & Barbara Wittmann.
- Some Signalis footage comes from the music video for DON'T TRY by HEALTH. You should check it out.
- All music is from the Signalis OST made by 1000 Eyes and Cicada Sirens, with the exception of their version of Schubert's Serenade. It does feature in the game but not on the soundtrack.
- The B-roll clip of the spinning brain is from Vecteezy.com
- Everything else was stolen fair and square or is posted with full context in the video, a la the VaatiVidya references.
- If I missed something obvious then scream it at me in the comments.

Gundam Evolution Deserves to Be Remembered
Переглядів 8 тис.10 місяців тому
Gundam Evolution was a fantastic game despite it being far from perfect. It's a shame that it's gone as it makes it much harder to talk about, but G.EVO perfectly encapsulates the kinds of games I find most fascinating: broken, fun and genuinely inventive.

I’ve always wanted to make content about TTRPGs in general, although I’m not really sure w...
Why FF8 is a Great Game (Despite its Many Flaws)

[This video contains major spoilers for FF8/FFVIII throughout, light spoilers for FF10 and FF12] A deep dive/essay on why FFVIII is my favourite of the mainline Final Fantasy franchise.

Hopefully by the end I can convi...

    I remember on my first play through i farmed all my caracters to lvl 99 each so i can be ready for the final boss...little did i know how difficult i would be after that. I was convinced that the final act in the castle was extra hard compared to the rest of the game. Now i understand why it was...but when i really think about it, i think i made the right call because winning that last fight was incredibly satisfying due to it's difficulty, when i look at a speedrun and how easy they defeat bosses i can only think that i've had it better than most. One of my favorite game of all time

    Tip: If you’re a tank, STOP RUNNING FROM THE MONSTER. I’m not a tank, but I’ve watched jocat and I know your job as a tank is to distract the boss and keep it still so the team can attack the rear. Just smth I saw during the dungeons section, so no hard feelings. This vids pretty fire, so keep it up!

    Grand Companies are essentially a holdover from 1.0. In 1.0 the story was attached to the grand companies and you would only see part of the story based on the perspective of your Grand company similar to how the story is told from Character Creation up until you join the Scions. Eventually they decided to repurpose the Grand Companies for PVP but it ended up causing issues since not many people liked doing PVP in FFXIV before the rework in Endwalker so they eventual decoupled it from PVP and ever since Grand Companies have mostly been stuck in limbo.

    Personally I couldn't stand the game, having played every other Final Fantasy up to that point except 2. But It's not because the characters, setting, storyline, or any of that. The leveling and battle systems just weren't fun to me and I couldn't get into it.

    *18:35** See? That's an odd one for me. I don't ever remember being defeated by the Rexosaur, not even one. If the game was meant to keep enemies leveling up with oneself, then something is wrong with my emulator copy. It was always easier and easier to make dinosaur burgers out of them.*

    • @Bynk333

    You should check out the Succession mod. It tweaks the story, mostly with Cid, Rinoa, Edea, and Seifer, helping it flow better. It replaced Time Compression and amnesia with elements that apparently work quite well.

    As a new free trial player, I was drawn to your video to see just how far I could take it. Thanks for sharing all of that. I'm also wary of locking my free play away, and wonder if there's a legit way to have a second non-free account which I occasionally pay or lapse, depending on level of interest. Like you, I find myself speeding through the story quests - with my friends barely involved in my gameplay at all, except as vastly over-levelled world map helpers, or dungeon buddies. It doesn't feel right at all, making them plus-ones in my hero arc. I hope they are re-living some of the magic of their first time through me, at least.

    • @MugiwarasNakama
      @MugiwarasNakama 16 днів тому

      you can have as many free trials as you want. Just make a new Square Enix account. You will have to play through the game again but it's definitely a thing. Also the game is much easier when you are playing the game after paying for the sub as you will have more free acess to the stuff so getting caught up on a new character is not hard at all.

    This is probably the first video I've seen that mentioned FFXII and the things XIV borrowed from it - sometimes I feel like an absolute lunatic when I see a wooly croc in Coerthas, or the absolute meltdown I had when, during Heavensward, I spotted a "Lower Skylord", aka a Ring Wyrm, sans a ring, and lamented what they did to my poor boy.

    31:15 Vaan is actually the most important character in the game. Without him joining the hunters guild and advancing in the ranks, the final hunt Yiazmat would have destroyed Ivalice. It is hailed in npc opinions and in statistical fact that Yiazmat is the most powerful creature in Ivalice. The kingdom battles and wars meant nothing at the end of the day, as Yiazmat would kill everybody anyways. So really, the rest of the team are all side characters, and Vaan is DEFINITELY the main hero AND the most powerful being in Ivalice after he completes the final hunt.

    19:35 Yes, defeating Midgar Zolom when you first encounter it is super-satisfying. It's not as hard as it appears. You can even defeat the Zolom in a no-random-battles challenge. It helps to keep everyone tranquilized in the back row, with Cure materia, give the Enemy Skill learner an Elemental-Fire combo on their armor and don't have them attack until they're the last fella remaining, rely mainly on Limit Breaks for your attacks, use Beta on the Zolom once you've learned it. Experiment from there. Good luck!

    I know it's not the point of the video but since you brought it up I gotta disagree about the heat towards vasn in ff12, he has agency to be in the group and even jf he didn't it wouldn't matter, he's their because his life choices led him their, he wants to be a sky pirate because adventure and goes along with bal and Fran because he wants to be like then, and even then you could argue vaan has every right to be in the rebellion for what the empire and vash brother did to vaan brother leading him into his life of thievery in the first place, just because a character is under qualified or are their of their own volition doesn't give then any less right to be their and I think a lot of people forget that by your argument Han and chewy shouldn't be helping Luke and Leia because they got no REAL agency against the empire like the rest kf the cast but their their because they want to be. Besides all of that though we saw what happens to ff when you don't got an every man, exposition is turned into walls of text in ff13

    Absolutely love this game :) always been my favourite. Love the parts of the game people hate :) the junction system is great, story is a little messed up but if you do multiple play throughs it’s not so bad. Love the characters and triple triad, I have to have a play through every year. I love many other FF games but FF8 remains at the top for me, my first FF game :) and always my turn to when I don’t know what to play :)
