I headcanon that now that Illunina knows how to deal with her emotions she sometimes splits into two (as in Lumina and Void) just for fun and to meet the main cast again sometimes while not bringing too much attention from other people (as her normal form is, well, a Goddess) Hilarity ensues as Void and Lumina, despite being parts of Illumina, sometimes fight for trivial things and differing opinions lol
Am I the only one who thinks this takes place before Adventure? This seems like a good way to lean towards Amy and more so Tails' character development
You're not. Headcanon-wise, it works perfectly. And word of God rules are unreliable at best in the Sonic community. That's part of what makes the overall story so special; the fans can help write it.
This may be true as most of the cast don’t have their powers from SA1, if we look at sonic he should have the crystal light or the light speed shoes that he acquired in the sewers plus ancient light. Knuckles doesn’t have his shovel claw or fighting gloves and Amy doesn’t have her warrior feather that she wins in the egg carrier. There is no sign of Tails having the jet anklet or the Rhythm badge, but they aren’t necessarily affective for the progression of his story. Although we see that the characters in the sonic franchise have already lost their powers before, like the bracelet chip gave Sonic as a remembrance in sonic unleashed that is nowhere to be found in the later sonic games.
28:44 Interesting that the guys all get Lumina speculating that Void is the manifestation of humanity's evil, but Amy's cutscene is Lumina getting depressed and Void trying to comfort her. Just like how Sonic Adventure had slight changes to the story depending on the player character's perception of the events.
Thank you so much for backing up this, I wanted to rip this game, and playing the first board was going to drive me mad. I really don't like watching a video game but I don't have time to waste needlessly.
@@fearlesssrose I heard it was maternity leave she was on, which sounds like a good reason for her to be absent here, but good to see she came for Adventure 2 and hasn't missed a game since.
A wee post why the Japanese Sonic videos have been going down recently its because @WindiiGitlord has been putting them back out on her own channel. And given it was her own work to begin with, I'd rather not take eyes off her own product, and the plan was only to archive the videos until they went back up on her end. So yea, go over to Windii's channel for the subbed videos when they're all back up again.
I wish some of the other 3D Sonic games were cel-shaded or want the upcoming new 3D Sonic games to be cel-shaded which would both match and look more anime-esque style for the 3D Sonic games. Why is only Sonic Shuffle and Sonic Runners cel-shaded, is it because the SEGA and Sonic Team company doesn't have high budget enough for cel-shaded graphic for some of the other 3D Sonic games as well?
This translation makes so much more sense than the version we got. I wonder if the English translators purposely made the official translation sound a little esoteric and awkward to give it more of a "dreamlike" feel.
Ever since the game bumps on the face review, low tier UA-camrs have been trying to find reasons to dislike this game. The game is made by the same company as Mario Party, just with Sinic characters. This game is actually more fun than Mario party, especially the mini games. But, we all know that many people love to jump on bandwagons especially if it is something negative.
Did tails have a different Japanese voice actor at the time? I prefer playing the games in English and only listen to Japanese versions when I’m bored and this doesn’t sound like Ryo Hirohashi
@@candy_ribbons he had two before Ryō Kazuki Hayashi for Adventure Atsuki Murata for Shuffle and Adventure 2 Ryō Hirohashi made her debut as Tails ahead of Heroes in the Japanese airing of Sonic X, in March of 2003.
@ ah that finally explains why he always sounded so little in English, he was voiced by Connor and Corey Bringas in both adventure games and here who were both still children at the time, crazy how oddly similar they sound Though going with Ryo for Japanese and now Colleen in English is just the best choice (not that I disliked Amy Palant or Kate Higgins as Tails, I grew up with both of them, hard to choose for me)
💗Lumina - Ikue Otani
💚Void - Urara Takano
💜Illumina - Yuko Minaguchi

Ok but the story has no reason to be this good
I have to admit, I didn’t expect Lumina or Void to be parts of Illumina, back in the day.
This game has the same replay value that Klonoa and NiGHTS do. It's a shame it never got the recognition it deserves.
The intro makes the models look like the artwork used in the 1998+ era
Cel-shading was kind of common, back in 2000.

I like to think this takes right after Sonic Adventure simply because of the secondary characters. Gamma was a bittersweet addition.

This game needs more love.
Bro, the opening has no reason to go THAT hard
The only Game in don't have taeko kawata as Amy voice actress in the japanese versión
I was very surprised that both Pikachu and Raichu are in this Sonic game! 🐭⚡ I meant their voices. I can't believe it.
WHAT?!

The Dreamcast era had the best stories

this game is beautiful! just look at the story and the message...
I have always found it kinda respectable that this stupid, totally-inconsequential party game tries to have an actual story (the key word being TRY)😁
@@alexlents4689 the Storybook series had the same potential, it almost became a proper trilogy
*Lumina Flowlight = Pikachu*
*Void = Raichu*
Small world, isn't it?
I know you
Your the channel tha compares sonic x in english/japanese
And others
What happend to windii?
Illumina = Sailor Saturn
It’s like Takuya and Flamemon are two halves of Agunimon
Thank You amy japanese voice is so cute
Did you know its the only time Amy was not voiced by Taeko Kawata in the games, instead being voiced by Emi Motoi
@@DemonDethchase did emi motoi voice amy one time
@@fearlesssrose I heard it was maternity leave she was on, which sounds like a good reason for her to be absent here, but good to see she came for Adventure 2 and hasn't missed a game since.
@@DemonDethchasewhat is maternity leave?
@@sebastianhernandezvazquez4922 time off in relation to pregnancy
Better lore than Sonic Dream Team.

Amy sounds different in the japanese version of the rest of the games
Tails sounds identical to how it sounds in Sonic adventure 2

(Also, not sure if it's just the Japanese itself, or the tone and wording used, but this gives Knuckles some big Samurai vibes to me.)

However liked this comment thank you. I really want to watch the rest of the cutscenes
Lumina sounds like pikachu from pokemon
Why does the title Sonic Shuffle remind me of having the name Mario Shuffle? It’s kinda weird 😂😂😂😂😂
Amy has different voice actor in japanese
I heard Taeko Kawata was on maternity leave, and its Emi Motoi who's standing in for this game, before Kawata would return for Adventure 2.
