I love how each game contains a female lead! The girls in the series are super brave, and their designs look so cute!
So stunning...
They weren't made to tick a box, unlike modern titles, this was purely organic.@@guitarspud1723
The latest instalments also have male characters here and there to control and stuff, so does the Spirit Camara spin-off where the protagonist is a manifestation of your own persona; aka yourself, so we can agree that for a niche well known but not as monetary concurrent as other survival horror series Fatal Frame stands for very good reasons and it's story also covers a book, a manga and a film adaptation
Its interesting that every ritual boils down to local people being unable to purify themselves and cope with their emotions in the proper way according to Shintoism and general mental health care, and putting it on designated victims to just make the people’s problems go away until there’s so much bad vibes built up that if anything goes “wrong” like that victim not being fully on board with taking on that misery, it all unleashes with interest. I’m not sure if its fair to call fighting the final bosses “compassion”, but its definitely breaking those cycles of abuse as all those ghosts finally take their own bad vibes away from the world with them.
I love this take, I am a big fan of the first 3 games but I didn't know much about Shintoism. Thanks for sharing!
Much like the ancients. I wonder how many others have gone down nameless and sacrificed to the Gods. Sadly, it still happens. Much more among the elite, who sacrifice people to the Gods still. I firsthand know of the sacrifices as they are still done in certain countries today where laws are pretty much lax and weak (Africa and Latin America; extreme cults). There is a whole lot of myriad reasons why people to this day are sacrificed or "offered up" its mostly to gain assistance or help. or something like an unknown genetic conditions cause you to be white or you were deemed "special" etc. Modern reason. But back in the past, lets say if a huge calamity befell an ancient civilization (Ancient Europe, Asia, Africa, The Americas, the Middle East, well the entire or whole world had things like this going on everywhere. These practices and sacrificial rites of ancient passage were done to like remedy when these individuals had no knowledge of like modern science or technology. Then it was like to appease the gods or curry favor or get a solution, Its bury, slit the throats, or burn, or cut up, violate, throw into a well. or "eat" them before a God. Or gods. Or use the victims body parts as cursed charms or medicine just because these societies had not the knowledge we have today. With all that we have now, who knew what could have happened if early history, for example. Had medicine and technology. Superstition and ignorance wouldn't have impacted society or caused the lose in innocent lives. Just because primitive humans couldn't get shit right, or were downright stupid or ignorant.
context matter :V it had no use to be that deep when you just slip over the fact that supernatural force does exist in fatal frame world meaning the local people not because they unable to purify or cope or whatever you call to try to be deep , IT the supernatural force make them to do it or atleast it benefit the local aswell .
The cruek thing about Fatal Frame II is that Murakami village was going to be glooded, water in shintoism would purify spirits, assuming water can also release spirits, then the twin strangling the other twin was for naught.
I find that even worse because during the third game, if you can find the right documents, you'll get the horrible realization that they were doing the ritual wrong the whole time... by that, I mean both the tattoos and the Priestess we're supposed to be sent to the other side, but by continuing to keep the tattoos in the shrine, all that built up sorrow was a ticking time bomb, so every time they did it wrong the more they were shooting themselves in the foot
I love how Japan is seemingly this hellscape where the realm of the dead and the living are so close that the people need to perform all sorts of evil rituals to keep "the bad vibes" from the Underworld at bay.
In terms of world lore, anyone find it odd that in a relatively short time, so many of these rituals which connect to the underworld suddenly fail?
i think the calamity had definitely something to do with it
It DOES very much feel like some type of cascade failure
People got less spiritual over time.
i like to think that every village involved in rituals are in places closest to the underworld, and each village is responsible for keeping their areas “pure”. and then when one village fails, the chances of the rest of the rituals to be completed becomes harder
@@draochvar9646 I guess you could call it a resonance cascade
Anywhere in Japan during the Meiji Era: “sir, there’s an anthropologist named Professor Aso here to visit our village.” “F**k”
Silent hill series. Id love to see a full explanation of this freaky series
"Aso? More like "Ah, so I see you bring trouble everywhere you go"..."
lmaoooo
Oh you mean Dr Kunihiko PhD , yeah he and his damn cameras bring trouble wherever he goes, that's why Kirie but him and end at Himuro Manor
Villagers in FF 1, 2, 3 : tried to close the gate between the dead and the living
Villagers in FF 4 : say sike
Basically from all this summary of the Fatal Frame stories had the characters interconnected in some way to each other. While each event takes place at a different time and location, the characters have either been directly involved in the events themselves or are related to those that were involved either via circumstances or passed down via their ancestary.
Sounds like the Grudge, everything is connected but in obscure ways
@@danielpeckham5520 you mean in an obscura way lol
I would be so awesome that if there would be a final installment to the Fatal Frame series, that ALL the rituals in the series are all connected and part of a big calamity.
Damn that's such an awesome idea, honestly I got the feeling Fatal Frame 2 hinted at a story like this. Hope they do it
It would be cool if they touched on the spirit stones and what went into making the obscura as well.
I’m so glad you did this series:) one of my absolute favourites as a kid!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Fatal Frame is one of my favorite series in gaming.
I tend to always forget how sad the story (and full of murder and dumb decisions) the game is.
Japanese ghost marriages are all about placating the dead's unmarried virgin desires, Miku marries her brother in a ghost marriage...we can all say it's to be with him spiritually, but is it really JUST "spiritual", even after the fatal frame III Aesop?
What I wouldn't give to bring back Fatal Frame... love the video, I love seeing people cover this series
Fascinating that the events at the Himuro Mansion seem to have started the snowballing of failed rituals… Very interesting Butterfly Effect if so. Pun very much intended lol
Never realized how connected these games were. SWEET
Japan really has a weird fixation with highschool being the peek of life. Like in so much of their media, protagonists, male or female, highschool or around highschool age.
I mean not entirely surprising i guess since its pretty legend that adulting in japan is being brutalized by work culture.
Since the success of the Maiden of Black Water led to a remaster of Mask of the Lunar Eclipse for International release, I'm hopeful that Tecmo will see the potential and remaster the original trilogy, even if it's one game at a time. Project Zero III is the only one I haven't completed (aside from MOTLE, which I'm currently halfway through as of writing this comment).
It's sad that Mayu and Mio only appeared and mentioned once
It's a pity that now such games can no longer be made - because there are so many similar games. Sorry, nostalgia started playing - thanks for the video.
Yep..games nowadays are piece of crap
Where?
@@nifftbatuff676 Lang ooga booga 🗿
What? Where's do you see Japanese traditional haunted house games? Very little.
@@zZiL341yRj736 The grudge, faith series, shadow corridor are all very scary.
Was really looking forward to this one. Glad there are resources to help with translations.
While the fatal frame series is a great horror series i had forgotten how tragic and messed up the stories were. What kind of psycho's go around torturing and sacrificing people? 🤢The scary part was that many of the fatal frame games were based off of actual practiced ancient rituals and recorded events in japans history. Thanks for the vid.
Humans have the animal agriculture industry. We’ve normalized practices like that to other living/feeling beings who don’t deserve it 🤷🏾♂️
Well, for the first nights of Project Zero 1 I´m with you, but learning that literally hell breaks loose if they don´t perform such rituals, I would rather sacrifice some......one? than living an endless night of suffering, causing more and more deaths/suffering spirits. I´d wished they would´ve let the boys stay with their beloved to ease their endless pain to gate the miasma from the underworld.
People still torture and sacrifice people. Happens on the world news every day.
This was the best explanation of the Fatal Frame series I have ever seen.
Thank you for explaining the story line. I only played games 1-3. Never finished the 1st one. Then when I looked up stuff about the 4th and 5th game, I just got more confused
A BIG THANKS to you.
This really helps me a lot since I only played FF2: Crimson Butterfly and FF3... 2024 still i dnt have a PS3.
But if i bought one. I will play Fatal Frame 4 as the very 1st game I play on PS3 ❤
"Gives birth to her daughter, who is born half living, half death"
I'm sorry what? I need more on that. How? Just how?
ghost marriage and stuff happened..
Never forget how horrofying af dat miku married to her brother in ff5
This is an amazing video!!! I remember a bit ago I was looking for a good explanation video of this series and could not find a good one. This is a blessing especially with the recent reboot, thank you!
This was such an awesome video! I've always been a fan of Fatal Frame, and this was such a great video to reintroduce myself to the lore of the series!! I would greatly appreciate a stand-alone video of the subsequent media associated with Project Zero/Fatal Frame!!
Am I hearing this right that miku was impregnated by the ghost of her brother?
Been waiting on a Recap by you guys for so long!! Thank you!
I would like to add that the Timeline was mistranslated in FF4 in the patch. It is an undisclosed time between 1976 and 1986. There are texture files in game that have dates but us what worked on the patch mistranslated "In the 1980's" as "in 1980"- It never really got fixed anywhere
That’s why I just said “around this time” as opposed to giving an actual date. Luckily it doesn’t really matter where it actually sits
Oh wow! All this time we've been putting it as the first in the timeline, but it could be concurrent with FF1!
Absolutely love this series, glad you did this cause I totally forgot about the overall story
Awesome video, always wondered how was the whole picture. I played the trilogy and wasnt sure how it all connected.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The only names I remember in this series are Mio and Mayu... Imagine hearing the names being called thousand times throughout the game
It's crazy they are all interlinked like this and all seem to have hellgates at them or some darkness in the village
According to one of the comments, In Fatal Frame 2, the game was hinting at all the events being interlinked.
a goddamn spiderweb I need a drawing board to connect everything holyhell
Thank you very much for compiling it into one video
you are the best!
This was a really great refresher as ive not played FF 1 2 or 3 in a while and im jumping into mask of the lunar eclipse. Thank you for marking the chapters so i can avoid spoilers! Im going to return to this video after finishing ff4 incase i missed some things in the story!
This was a great watch! Thank you very much. Please do the supplementary titles in the near future.
Strange how Fatal Frame is based on an actual location and story. Also, I would love to see you take on the other Fatal Frame that you didn’t cover, and do it as separate video.
That's actually false and is just an international marketing ploy. Altho many elements do have basis on various rumors, urban legends, superstitions, and myths that exists
I remember crying along with my sister after we finish fatal frame tormented, the ending is not what we expected
Thank you for this! I love it
The first game I ever played was the spirit camera one and I never new it was fatal frame till later on when I watched fatal frame 2 gameplay and looked more into these games and lore. The lore facenated me and my favorite game to this day has to be crimson butterfly. All them being related to a ritual is so interesting to me and just the camera gameplay itself is amazing
Anyone else thinks that the hellish gate, the abyss and the rift and other similar things are all the same thing? A gateway into the underworld in different locations?
Yes. That's exactly what it is. Japan has areas they call 'hell gates' all around the country. You can visit some of them as tourists spots.
We don't get enough traditional Japanese haunted village horror games.
Very surprisingly, a remake of fatal frame 4 has FINALLY been launched with an ENGLISH VERSION~! As of writing this, it was released on the 8th of this month. Worth getting since it did get launched on Steam.
I play ff4 mask of lunar eclipse on ps4 .... i love it!!!
Another fantastic video! Thank you!
Woah, this game is tragedy galore.
Thank you for the refresher. I really do hope that Fatal Frame I, II and III get a port, remake/remaster on the Switch as well.
This is great! As a teen I played a fatal frame demo on my wiiu and it was waaaay too scary lol I could never beat it!
Oh wow this is amazing! Thank you for creating this vid. Fatal Frame is 💖
Mann i really love the story!
Thank you for this. It's quite detailed.
Seems like a perfect series to go VR.
I would love to see yall do The Suffering series or something weird and off the path similar. The bioshock series would be an easy banger of a video too
yooooo thanks for letting me know fatal frame 4 got remastered and an english translation!!
2 spooky 2 play. thanks 4 summary
You’ve done a lot of work here dude! My little brain didn’t even realize that Maiden had anything to do with the other games. Lmfao. Great video ❤
Would love for you to cover the other fatal frame spin offs as well.. this is well made!
23:28-23:52 I'm sorry Miku went where and WHAT HAPPENED?!
YEAH WHAT DID HE GET HER PREGNANT HOW IS HER DAUGHTER HALF DEAD BAHAH
Ah so this is the game I have been searching for years. I remember the camera Obscura but I have no remembrance of the title. I only remember that the camera can capture/exorcists ghosts
I don't use twitter anymore so I'll say this here, keep up the good work. 👍
PS2 nostalgia
I remember I downloaded the ending ost
What a memories
So many different portals between the realms of the living and the dead. The veil must be made of Swiss cheese.
Putting this on while doing laundry without any prior knowledge of the series was a trip. a few minutes in I'm just like "yeah, of course child killing ritual #3 failed, the vibes were off, man!"
Thank you!
Somehow you always post about games I've always wanted to know about 😩🙏🏿
finished all 3 ps2 fatal frame releases on my teens. loved the characters and its lore.
I pray they release the original trilogy as a remaster and also a bundle 🙏
All these complex and murderous Shinto rituals to seal gateways to the underworld and all Izanagi needed was a boulder.
Oh my god, this game is one of my favorite licence and I didn't even know there was a manga ! I must read it !
Nice I saw this gameplay but I couldn't understand so thank you
Fatal frame 3 was monumental horror game for me. I printed the whole walkthrough to defeat the game. Crazy
Yay new vid
watched this during playing games, only with 1 ear. All ive got was: everyone strangled everyone to death and then turned to an devil ghost.
Hey man, great video as I love to watch stuff about the story of games like Fatal Frame or Silent Hill as it's almost always very rich in both info and entertainment, but from what I know the canon ending of Fatal Frame 3 is that Kei dies. You can save him on a second playthrough, but I don't think that's canon.
Fatal Frame is makin a comeback
Silent hill series as a whole. Love to see a story explanation of this😊
I don't know they had extra Content... I'd love to see a video on it
LETS GO BOYS
I wish you elaborated more. The information was too condensed that only those who understood already can follow the narration
i wish the fatal frame first trilogy also make its way to the nintendo switch
Jeez, lots of hellmouths in Japan ay
I hope they remake the first Trilogy for modern PC and Concoles.
I wish the remake the whole series, that would be beautiful
The first one definitely deserves a remake. I had so much fun with it while making this video
@@SuggestiveGaming The first one was the most scary IMO. A remake would be great.
Hope the remake would be based on the Xbox version, the camera charge up animation of that version is the best in the entire series. Charge up animation in PS2 version has animation that is less vibrant likely due weaker hardware.
The remake would need to use the same front for Fatal Frame that started with FF2. And lastly the game needs an ending song by Amano Tsukiko.
Would you ever remaster your olders videos to add more to its timeline like the dead rising games
Yes, I plan on completely redoing the Dead Rising video
Would you ever consider doing any final fantasy games? Or like how secret of evermore connects to ff6?
I plan on doing the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII
@@SuggestiveGaming Excellent! Thank you!
Can someone explain to me why does Miku enter the marriage with her brother...? Is there a higher reason or just incest?
Also, she has a child. Who's the father? Those details kind of bug me because I really liked this character in 1 and 3.
It’s not marriage in the romantic fashion, it’s more of just a way to connect herself with the spirit of her brother, who she loves very much (and is a bit obsessed with being with).
The father situation is never explained, but is assumed to be Mafuyu’s spirit. This is never outright confirmed, likely due to the pretty weird implications that would bring up.
The key to Miku’s character is that there isn’t any kind of romance or sexual attraction to Mafuyu, she just really loves him and can’t deal with losing him.
@@SuggestiveGaming I always thought of Miu as his last gift to Miku without being biologically involved since you know .. he's dead and all that. Maybe one should take a step back from the whole mother + father = daughter way of thinking in this case and see Miu more as a farewell memento that walks around.
@Suggestive Gaming I thought it was for spirituality reasons too but a marriage historically was either fir asset sharing or love and ghost marriages are conducted between distant relatives or non-relatives (prove me wrong).
I thought the thumbnail was the new installment!
My hope!
I would love to see a full story breakdown of Final Fantasy VII and Resistance Fall of Man
Both are in the works!
I still questions about this game, Miu existance and the camera like isn't the camera already broken in Fatal Frame 1? How did it go back again? And Miu's Father (just a guess but I guess the father is Mafuyu?)
yes.. big possibly Mafuyu is Miu's father
Yes,miku and mafuyi married through the ghost marriage,and cause incest
I know this is old, but I figured I'd type this out here for future people.
There are multiple cameras made by Dr Aso, along with other spirit objects he created like the radio (seen in FF2 and FF4) and the projector (First seen in FF2).
-There's one camera in the 1st game, that shatters. (One camera)
-Two in the second game. One was taken to the Himuro Mansion (which shattered), we don't know what happened to the second one Mio uses. (Two camera's, one to Himuro and shattered, one lost under the Minakami lake presumably)
-The one from the 3rd game was found in the Kuze shrine, and is given to Yuu, but we don't know how it got in the shrine. In the real world, the camera is broken, but Rei's, Miku's, and Kei's pictures in the Manor of Sleep appear inside it to be developed. (One camera, broken)
-In FF4, there is a note from Dr. Aso saying that 'He's leaving one (camera) here. He thinks the island will need it' Thats Ruka's camera. Then her friend, Misaki, is a descendant of Dr Aso and has her own. (Two cameras)
-In FF5, Hisoka has one that was gifted to her by a customer, and she tells Ren about his, even saying it's damaged and she doubts he'd sell it to her, but she'd like to take a look at it. (Two cameras, one damaged)
I don't know anything about the spin off games or movies, so I didn't include those.
In the end, there at least 7 known cameras. 2 are broken, 1 is lost under Minakami lake, and 1 is damaged (Ren's), by the end of their games. If any of the cameras, other than Mikus from the first game, cross games, we don't know about it.
And yes, Mafuyu is Miu's father. This didn't come as a shock to me, as Miku was shown to be VERY attached to her brother, even in the first game. This is a rather strange trope in Japan that has a sibling idolize/crush on their other sibling. It's almost always the younger crushing on the older. We see this trope even today in shows like SpyxFamily. Children are expected to grow out of this, and those that don't, like in SpyxFamily, are considered weird/creepy with a 'sister/brother complex.' Most media doesn't end with the siblings having a child together, but I guess Fatal Frame got away with it by one of them being dead. I, like most, think it would have been a better story to have Miu be Rei and Yuu's ghost child, but I guess 5 just had to have Miku again.
If I'm incorrect about any of this, people are free to correct me. I'm actually a new fan to the series.
Did Miku meet Mafuyu while she was inflicted with the Sleep Manor's curse? When she tried to follow him down the Tori gates?
I still want Fatal Frame 6 to be realiase.
Really hope the characters could be male as well as the antagonist,they should be hot neither cute
@@hazeeqrazak l want see male carácter too and this time more carisma
The game is very terrifying, but meanwhile, the character designs are so cute and beautiful. I CAN NOT 😭
Wow! Thanks for the video. I remember playing Fatal Frame 1 to 3 on PS2 but never played 4 and 5. Good thing KoeiTecmo rereleased Maiden of The Black Water and now Mask of The Lunar Eclipse.
If I will rank the games I will choose Crimson Butterfly as the best followed by the first Fatal Frame. 3rd spot will be Maiden Of the Black Water and 4th will be Mask of The Lunar Eclipse. I will put Fatal Frame 3 as last because I don’t really like the story so much for that game.
I think I agree with your ranking, I just might put Fatal Frame 1 over Crimson Butterfly (I only played the Wii remake though, so maybe the original is better)
@@SuggestiveGaming I think I agree with you for making the firsr Fatal Frame as the best but for me they really nailed Crimson Butterfly story and regarding the gameplay it's really make Fatal Frame memorable.
Maiden Of the Black Water can be my top 2 if only the story is more scarier but it really has the best gameplay which makes the game more engaging compared to all the entries.
Evil spirits are being progressively sent to test the protagonist 👋. These particular ghosts are for him alone, bearing in mind that other ghosts are everywhere. The entity the hero last encountered was much like a poltergeist, figuratively speaking, like a fog aura surrounding the room putting images in the hero’s mind. Insta-haunted house.
I used to play FF2 and FF3 a lot and had dreams of being in the mansion. I wanted to be them so badddd lmao. My 13 year old self trying to resonate with their “pain” and become “tormented”
im new to fatal frame. and woah my name’s actually reika and with the nickname, Rei. that’s so cool haha
Can you explain how exactly Miku get pregnant, and who's father of the Miyu?
i think… its her.. brother…. 😭😭
@@deftmoon I think so to, but exactly she got pregnant?
@@vovazagach1781 either they did the deed when she saw him or it just happened to manifest in her😭
if there's ever a 6th game, I wonder which direction they'll go to
heyy just wanted to ask if you can play maiden of black water without the other games? I would love to play them all but many of them are not as accessible :(
I think you’d be able to enjoy Maiden of Black Water without playing the others. The story brings back an important character from the first game, but is pretty much otherwise standalone.
my favorite game series (although i wasnt' able play all of it). they don't make horror games like these anymore.
