@@thomaswitherow350 hey thank you so much! I tend to think I’m a little bit fumbling through it but it’s not a passion of mine to make things very well polished and as close to perfect as I can get it. Did you play this game back in the day?
This is great, Jack! This brings me back, and makes me realize how much I've forgotten. By the way, the race Obake is pronounced "oh-bah-ke" with the "ke" like kettle. Obake is a Japanese word that translates to something like monster or ghost--basically some kind of shapeshifter. This is a cool concept for a race of a class for one of the characters. You've got a good setup also. Very thorough and nuanced takes and observations. Mesmerizing!
@@alexj4935 Ha I’m so glad you like it! And that’s too funny that you mentioned Japanese pronunciation. I have another subscriber talking about those things as well. It’s nice to hear how some of these words are actually pronounced. And I know some of the translations are not good as the development team had five weeks before release to change it to a Japanese theme. One of the spells in the game supposedly translates to, dishwashing soap lol. How do you know so much about the Japanese language? And I think you played this game back in the day? And I’m glad you like my little set up. It’s pretty simple but I’m making it work. I shall be having more let’s play of that game to come! It has only just begun.

@Goldenageofgames I'll let you know if I can think of anything. Most playthrough videos I have seen run about 30 to 45 minutes. People like blue Ankylo tend to cut out where they are just grinding for levels. I have listened to his playthroughs on a couple of different Might and Magic games
@ That would be great. With your help, you can help make my UA-cam channel the greatest power in the Multiverse! And yes I have thought of doing that, cutting out sections where I’m just trying to get characters to be higher level. I have two of might and magic two, and one of the original. Pretty great games. I might do some play through of that one day.
I played this so much on the Commodore 64 when I was like 8. I failed miserably over and over. I had 1 good game where I saved up enough to buy the boat and had combat figured out and was crushing everything. Sailed to the next continent over and glitched into a wall when I sailed into town and the save was lost. I think that was the last time I played.
@@andrewpeterson3190 Oh wow that is quite the tale to tell! I play this on our Apple iigs, when my mom got it for me and maybe 1988? I was like 15. And I can definitely relate as I had many difficult times and failed miserably many times. It actually took me a number of times playing the game to realize that the emperor gives you a scroll when you defeat the bad guy in his palace dungeon that gives you a boat for free.
