Video Game Shower Thoughts 1: The Great Paradigm Shift 3.0
#essay #videogames #vr #ai
Random -- but not random -- and persistent thoughts about the next evolution of videogames and what the next true foray may be. Is it VR? Is it Krokodil? A large blunt object to the head a repeated amount of times? Or Am I just a figment of your imagination and this is all make believe?
Either way, I need to sleep now. The coffee is wearing thin.
Enjoy the random thoughts video!

#videoessay #retrospective #finalfantasy It's been a minute, I know, but I've been lacking in motivation have been doing real life things, like making music and studying for some IT certification. But regardless, here's the second half of the first video I WILL be uploading both as a complete package, so it's probably best to and watch that one.

Pretty underrated channel, love your videos! Would you do a retrospective on Symphony of the Night? Or Dark Souls 1?
SotN is a classic and i am a fromsoft fanboy since demon souls. dark souls 1 would be an idea...
I know how FF tactics advanced is a dumbed down version of FF tactics but I somehow, as a dumb child, reach the conclusion of setting up two moogle jesters with smile, which immediately made the one you used it on take their turn. I used the smile spam on the two jesters, making them gain 10-12 exp everytime they took a turn. Then, I had my other units punch the shit out of those two moogles then healing them when they were close to dying. Was fun beating those two furballs till all of my other unit were maxed out. 💀
I freaking loved this game.
I played the psx version of this when I was younger and the story was incredible to me but the game is brutally hard and I got soft locked 💀
Your sense of humor is excellent. Hasty subscribe, fellow child in his 30s. Well...okay, I'm in the plus of 30-plus.
St Ajora is male.
Hey! Can I get a TLDR version of how to get the optional members for cloud? You got me interested!!
I may be in the minority here, but this was extremely hard to listen to after the first maybe 15 minutes. I understand you're reading from a script and your style is intentionally to sound intelligent and clear, but it's just way too much. I'm a normal person trying to follow along, and your vocabulary and needlessly complicated sentences are really hard to follow. It's as if the script was run through ChatGPT, asking it to replace as many words as possible with more sophisticated ones. I'll continue trying to get through it if I can, but I recommend that you use more down-to-earth language in the future. Again, might be a minority opinion, but I'm in no way special or nitpicky so I don't think I'm alone on this.
Bro this game had me thinking I am a doctor. PhD level gaming.
The last scene where Delita and Ovelia kills each other WAS in the PSX version.
Every time you call it “Secrets” instead of “Secret”, I grimaced. You were spot on about music, gameplay, and everything else, but you kept calling them “Secrets of Mana” and Secrets of Evermore”.
i was one of those kids with a game genie that maxed stats of a game and returned the game
All i remember I bought cloud from the future. lol
Now i just need one of these for tactics advance. A game i loved as a kid but was too young to fully understand
Man, despite all your insane description of the combat and probabilities and strategies...I just remember by the end of the game I turned almost everyone in my party into a monk because their attacks stats were almost broken, had someone to take care of all the healing and I was literally an army of death, good times
Accumulate x 10 + a simple punch and /or throw rock. The true Meta.
Full brainwash
war of the lions
Ah Secret of Evermore! The first rpg I played in my life and I loved it so much as a kid. I wish someday this game gets some attention and gets a good remake like the Secret of mana series...
I have watched so many play throughs and talks on this game and one thing is constant in all of them. That of course being how Wiegraf soft locked all of them at one point when first playing the game. Myself included the dastard.
i cant believe after all these years that marquis can actually be pronounced markwis, instead of markee. Damn british people.
Hey I still have a good amount of hair! :D
Pogs... That brought me back 😅
times were easier back then...
Music. Gameplay. Character. Plot. Such a great game!!!!!
I really enjoyed this retrospective and i like your humor pal. Got my sub
And holy cow what an ending!
This video was great. It made me laugh quite a few times. Thank you for highlighting the OST… and omg the renting rpgs diatribe was so spot on. So many restarts of Chrono Trigger until I saved up to buy it. Amazing video!

So after 27 years i made it to ch 4, 5 years at least on this wotl save. Best part, my lv 78 ramza drk oneshot unholy sacrificed all three
Excellent video! Just a note Ramza's father wasn't king. He was a noble who lived in the region gallione controlled by Duke Larg, the white lion.
Call Beads were introduced near the beginning of the game. Elizabeth literally gives you some after beating the first boss.
That one second clip from Aeon Flux...
Vandal hearts is Better
Between emulators with save files and speed run tactics and exploits, this monster of a game that took weeks with a guide book for me to beat. Now takes a 1 1/2 to 2 hours to beat.
Act 2 pyramid, actually any bone buzzard type in the game gets 1 shot by level 1 crush
Definitely Tier 1 Final Fantasy. Awesome Video.
It's really bothering me that you're saying secrets instead of secret for the title of all the games
Glad it wasn't just me.
Me and my friends always ranked ever more above all the other RPGs the top three would be Chrono Trigger Earthbound and secret of Evermore and we are all old enough that we played them when they were new
This was a terrible video. 17 minutes in and you've already made an atrocious amount of errors. My disappointment is immeasurable.
As soon as you went into your roast beef story, I knew what battle you were talking about. I too felt the same pain back in the day.
That meatloaf metaphor was dead eye.
This retrospective is amazing. Brings back so many memories of a game that beat me down repeatedly. So many of us had to start over from scratch after using one save point before an impossible battle
FFT series was amazing , I also loved the Crystal Chronicles series as well
What an incredible video! Not only is FFT my favorite FF of all time, it has to one of my top 5 games of all time. I love this game so much, that I have a tattoo of Ramza on my forearm.
Very high quality videos. Subbed . Really enjoy the content
when he says his first playthrough he had to restart cause he was stuck and bricked the save.. we all know what fight he was talking about.
Had a friend that I helped beat the execution site and then beat Weigraph. In my playthrough, I never lost a character, but I was pretty happy with making it though their save while only losing two characters.
FFTA3!! when??!?!

The setup for the game is nonsensical though, with Delita's sister being killed because he's of common blood. In reality if anyone of common blood who was bound to a noble family- from a wetnurse to a man at arms- was captured and held for ransom the noble family would respond with all out force because A) nobles werent heartless they fall into the classist notion of not the ones I know' school you see today in racism, B) they would never allow such an attack on their honor, C) if they do view commoners as property, being stolen from is the last thing in the world they would accept. Delita and his sister would be known as adopted family within the Belouve household, and personally have been friendly with all the members of the house. There's zero chance they would be viewed as unimportant with Delita as a man at arms or squire and his sister as a lady in waiting or chambermaid. Nobility wasnt enough to maintain the system on its own, like most oppressive systems they require a lot of collaborator help from the oppressed class. If the nobles in Ivalice really were like that, where they viewed every commoner as purely disposable and not as people, they wouldnt have gotten as far as they have.
I've always been a huge fan of the slight horror slant of this game. It's like with all of those creepy 80s fantasy movies for younger audiences - Neverending Story and the like - the creepiness helped it resonate. Or at least it did for me. As a game I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Secret of Mana, but still - there're some interesting ideas in there. Also just in general I find this game so damn fascinating on a conceptual level. A western made continuation of a niche Japanese Action RPG? From back then? I mean damn, that's so odd you gotta respect it.
