How the hell do you get this game to load the save

For some reason the speech boxes and weapon leveling system reminds me of Dark Cloud, another simple but enjoyable dungeon crawler. I'm glad gems like this are being preserved on steam.

This game is pretty amazing but the number one major flaw that keeps it from being an all time classic is that damn key system.

I got a stupid big collection of gunpla, particularly Pg gunplas.

Wonderful game. Only the last dungeon becomes too grindy and tiresome

Just discovered your channel and I absolutely love your voice, delivery and writing. Big fan of the, like, cozy vibes.

This game is one of my favorite of all time. I will say though I think the bad jokes and adult jokes falling flat is on purpose as a play at typical japanese tropes. Your character reacts the same way as you do pretty much. they don't care about them, they don't find them funny, and their lack of reaction kind of makes it awkward for those making the jokes too. Even in the thick of tropes your character doesn't really care about them, which is pretty refreshing to be honest. Even the raunchy chapter has a reason for existing that isn't there to be fan service, but something more sinister all along instead. It feels like those jokes are set up just to tear down and make fun of.

I recently saw an unopened ps1 copy at a retro/used game store for 280$ canadian.

good paid advertisement here

I cant stop thinking of that ridiculous movie 😂

Xanadu Next is such a great game.I bought the CD version around 2007 when I was in middle school.And I played it again and again for every 3~5 years lol.I also got a steam copy btw.

Awesome video. I'm doing some research before tackling a playthrough video essay. I like your format. Great work.

I love Ys.. and my god I have slept on Xanadu aswell it seems!

Well considering that many non 3A games today looks like they are from SNES area, Xanadu might fare better today. Just give it some spit and shine :)

Highly underrated game. I played it last year and had a blast with it. Wish more games like it would get made.

whats the game at 00:31?

this is one of those games that has been siting in my library forever. i think its time i play it. I've been neding a game like this. for a while now.

Never played this, but now I want to. I have only played Tokyo Xanadu previously, which was ok (gameplay was fun. Story-wise, really tired of playing highschoolers and the shonen narrative trappings that come with it).

Faxanadu is another great game

Adding Metroidvania progression items to action rpgs is actually a pretty neat idea. Adds depth to a genre that tends to be sorely lacking.

I very much enjoyed this game; it knows exactly what it is. It does not overstay its welcome and they definitely stuck the landing.

Wild to think there's an N-Gage versiom of this game that not only came out first, it's an NA exclusive.

I had this Nintendo game back in the day called Faxanadu. I loved it!! Someone told me it was in the Ultima universe

You left out Faxanadu, which was the NES successor to Xanadu

Looks like dungeon siege or dungeon maker on the psp

59 minutes is too much, but having finished it fairly recently (yes even the endgame void dungeon), I want to say this: Use a cheat engine and add tons of keys. The game is still balanced gold-wise. Because grinding or "cool room which opens up the game next area? too bad, go to city and buy keys and come here again" backtracking takes this game from 9/10 to 2/10. Its atmosphere is excellent, as I would unironically claim its a mix of dark souls 1 and diablo 1. As for its combat, its the best of its shitty genre. I didn't expect to enjoy a mouse-clicker melee combat.

Whoa love your video man. Keep it up. Gonna watch your other vids as well

This games name sounds like a pharmacy drug

Faxanadu (Famicom-Xanadu) was also released on NES in official English released developed by Hudson Soft

Just bought this, thanks for the rec.

Just want to point out at this moment the game is on sale for $4.49 70% off till November 19

I've had this on my GoG wishlist for several years, just haven't got around to picking it up since i have many dozens of other games to play through as it is. Some day I'll get it, maybe.

The PS2 throwback is amazing

Falcom’s best game. If you enjoyed this you should also try the remake of Brandish on PSP, called Brandish: The Dark Revenant

What game is at 55:52?

Aw! :3 That is the most ADORABLE little ice cream cone EVER!!!! D: D: D: D: I know, this video was about something else entirely but I couldn't help being intimidated by cuteness ^_^

Played this about 15 years ago on a Nokia NGage handheld. Likely one of the best titles for that system.

feels like Ys

Sigh, fine...I'll play it again

18:00 man that soft opener for the crafting system got me good... I feel seen.

When I first saw this CRPG ass "you can control everything with the mouse including the character" PC game, and it was from fucking Japan, I thought I was tripping. To me, Japanese RPGs have always been 100% console focused like Final Fantasy, Persona, Pokémon, Dragon Quest, to see a legitmately classic style PC game from Japan was completely unheard of for me, and immediately caught my attention

I enjoyed this video, thanks. Some critique: that's not how you pronounce 'leitmotiv'. Articulation and mastering could use some work.

One of my fav games of all time. Having Nioh+Final Fantasy is a very odd combination but pretty much tailor made for me. Absolutely love this game, 500+ hours in it and every so often I play some more. It got snuffed by the trailers and releasing close to Elden Ring. Not to mention Nioh and FF fans can be super annoying and if a game isn't exactly what they expect/want, they just disparage it without even trying.

Wow a recent Xanadu Next review? Edit: Also watching this made me remember how good the soundtrack is. I played this a couple years ago and the most similar game to it, imo, was Demon's Souls. Really enjoyed this game as it felt like playing DeS again

Grandia 2 was one of my absolute favourite games in my youth. There were times when I considered Grandia 2 as way better than the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest franchises. I played this game over and over, I must've completed the game tens of times and cried when Millenia got eaten every single time. I loved Millenia so much.

Awesome game

I have been BEGGING people to play this since it came out. There is just so much in this game that feels like the PS/Saturn era and the nostalgia the game it invokes is pretty powerful for me. It is such a satisfying a game to play.

You forgot the secret post-game dungeon, the chaos realm

Man....Xanadu....thats a name I havent heard in 30+ years.

I played Faxanadu and loved it. I definitely would love to play this game as well
