    i love costumizable characters so much in games, even better if they wear my stuff in cutscenes. whats interesting tho is, that i rarely dress my characters in a way i dress myself.
    if anything, i mostly dress them in a way id never dress myself in real life, because i cant or dont want to (assuming the game offers actual clothing like animal crossing or gta and not armor).
    its especially fun in serious cutscenes when your character totally stands out and wears like, boots, shorts, a winter jacket and sunglasses at the same time.
    ...or maybe its just secret wish fullfilment of mine, idk
    great video!

    • @CorruptedSave
      @CorruptedSave 4 роки тому +13

      I don't think that's too unusual. I spend a lot of time customizing characters when I'm playing a game that has a robust system for it, but I never make one look like myself. I personally find it weirder when people do make the characters like themselves. It's way more fun to sculpt a new character all together. That goes double for the clothing options.

    Splatoon straight-up taught me how to be fashionable. Couple years ago when I really got into it I was a real low-effort baggy-pantsed dirty-walking-shoes type of nerd-fashion train wreck whose gender identity was still “I’ll get back to you on that.” Having a virtual canvas to freely try out any style I wanted with no consequences really helped me zero in on the image I wanted to give off.
    …Which mostly resulted in me realizing I like flannel hoodies and Doc Martens, but hey. It’s valid.

    Thank you for talking about Jet Set Radio. Going through tough times and being at the very edge of a life I once described as a never ending storm of pain, this game made me move my head and get into the music. It took me away from a world of horror and sucked me into a world of graffiti gang wars in Tokyo, full of awesome music and rollerskating. Games like these make you realize it's possible to be happy and as a result you start to look for happiness. It was a strange realization seeing individuality as something to proud of and not embarrassed by.

  • @PostMesmeric

    Really interesting topic. I know that both games have their aesthetic roots in the culture of the region, but it was clever that you expanded upon those origins and examined things like social structures and personal expression, even pointing at things like the user artwork in the Splatoon hub lobby. Tying those back to the developers and publishers' intentions was also a great way to build your topic. This was a fascinating video and I'm eager to see what other games you tackle in the future. Keep up the great work, Maria.

I found JSR a bit clunky to play at times, but I still consider it a massive favourite just because it's so vibrant and charming. And Splatoon is just wonderful all over, and somehow I never made the connection between graffiti and Splatoon's entire central gameplay mechanic despite it being RIGHT THERE, so thank you for pointing it out!

    The different equipment in TWEWY is made by "different brands" just like in Splatoon, but this game takes it a step further by increasing or decreasing the effects of your equipment based on if that brand is trending in certain parts of the world map! Really fascinating concept.

    this is a really good video covering a subject that i really love. really appreciated you bringing in the context of the real life history of japanese hip hop.
    personally I think the game that best exemplafies these exact themes is the world ends with you. that game is directly built around self expression through street fashion and art, also has an art style heavily influenced by graffiti, and also has a soundtrack full of bangers from a bunch of different genres from pop to rap and hip hop to grunge to even metal. the whole game is basically ine big message saying "go out and make art! wear whatever cool clothes you want no matter what anyone says! make new friends and meet new people, clash and change and leave your mark on society and the people around you!"
    i absolutely love games with this kind of are and these kinds of themes. the world ends with you, jet set radio, splatoon, and even in some senses the persona games are all fantastic examples of that. once again, fantastic video. you are quickly becoming one of my favorite new channels in this youtube gaming video essay space. really excited to see where you go from here

    I would kill for a jet set three or even a tony hawks underground 2 sequel. Honestly besides the game itself the graffiti was one of the highlights for me in that game. And today with so many people being forgotten or left to fend for themselves in thid pandemic. I think society and the governments need to be reminded we exist. We are starving we are being evicted. We are struggling. We are alone. But goddamn it we will be heard. And we will not lay down. We must remind people that while yes we must isolate rn. We must not forget that there are people out there besides ourselves and that this hellish reality is not an excuse to be ignored . I truly believe we are in a cataylst at the moment that could shape our future in severely negative ways. Or supremely positive ways. It just depends on how each individual takes it. And puts it back out into the world. Stay safe folks. And dont forget. You are known by someone. Do not allow yourself to become a forgotten statistic. And if you cant stop it. Then make that number known.

    Hey, I wanted to say I really enjoyed your video! I always keep an eye out for content discussing JSR, I'm just curious why you didn't involve Jet Set Radio Future? From what I could tell it seems like you used Splatoon 2 footage, so why not the corresponding sequel on the other side?

      It was because JSRF was set in the future rather than the 90s/2000s, but mainly because I don’t have the game 😭

    Well, basically Splatoon is the Nintendo version of Jet Set Radio🙂
