While I was a Nintendo only guy, my friend down the street got a PS 1 when it first came out. I preferred spending approximately a year of my life on FF3 for the SNES, playing it over and over again, but my friend enjoyed kicking my butt in Tekken more.
Not sure how i missed out on "Armored Core" games out there. Going to have to check them games out! "Moto Cross Mania 2" is cool, but my favorite game with Moto in it is "Jet Moto" on the PS1. Namco on the PS1 came out swinging home runs with "Tekken 2" & "Soul Blade"! Another epic weapon game out there was, "Bushido Blade" where if you got hit in the arm that arm would just wiggle like a worm & be worthless. That was cool.
Armored Core was a big one for me. Played that one to death. And would be great to see that timeline video you talked about. Excellent video as always. Enjoyed the recent SNES video too. Well done
If you've gotten used to my commenting on here and thought about me as you made this, you probably knew I would be especially happy to hear of Final Fantasy Chronicles since it contains IV, my absolute favorite Final Fantasy. IX is also quite good. I think if VII hadn't been so groundbreaking, IX would have gone down as the best on the system.
5:00 - yeah, Goblet of Fire is where my enjoyment for Harry Potter games ended too. only i enjoyed them on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, with those ports being JRPGs instead of what they were on Console.
I've never really been a Tekken fan. It's funny, because I have an original Tekken 2 arcade pcb. I won an auction years ago for it for like $20, which I bid on because it came with a switching power supply and a Namco kick harness. I put it in one of my cabinets from time to time to see if it might grow on me one day, but no such luck as of yet.
i have 3 more nominations for this series, all Hidden Gems imo; 1) Legend of Legaia - JRPG that features doing button commands like you're playing Street Fighter. 2) Jade Cocoon - Genki's take on Pokemon, having a mature story and an interesting fusion mechanic. 3) Monster Rancher - can also be considered like Pokemon but more Management Sim with ARPG gameplay.
@@Fortefyre this is true, a novel concept in it's day to be sure. in fact Monster Rancher had special monsters that could only be found via special CDs
Final Fantasy 9. When it first came out my friend Dan and I played it for 24 hours straight. Most of that was Chocobo Hot and Cold. I learned about a super secret side quest in 2013 that means I never even got close to completing it. ( just that, Excalibur 2, jump rope and the racing game left.) And Tetra Master is still too random for my taste.
Kind of surprised Legend of Dragoon wasnt on the list. Yea the combat is monotonous because the damage done is set. But the addition system and story were pretty great. Definitely deserves a prequel spin off or a remaster/remake. My only main complaint in the game is the difficulty in unlocking the optional boss, and the really weird difficulty ramps that seemed to disappear just as fast.
@Fortefyre lol. Honestly don't blame you. There is a ton of empty space that could have done so much. When I replayed it last, I put it down maybe a dozen times.
The story in Final Fantasy IX was much better then FFVIII. And totally agree with you and it going back to a more high fantasy style RPG then VII and VIII were. Though I am one of the many that like VII more then IX, but not by much.
I'm not sure if you mentioned Einhander and Thunder Force V in parts 1 or 2. If not, you need to have a part 4 and mention those bad boys. Both are great games.
@@Fortefyre You haven't played Thunder Force V and Einhander?! Well, maybe that is a good thing because you are in for a treat. I wish I could go back in time and play those 2 games again for the first time.
In my opinion, SoulBlade is the greatest fighting game of all time. I didn't like the sequels half as much as the original. The story telling was phenomenal and the fighting mechanics were so smooth. The reason it was renamed "soulblade" instead of "souledge" is actually because a copyright issue around the word "edge". As stupid as it sounds, it gets even dumber when you look into it.
I loved the retranslation of FFIV and getting the challenge that we missed out on for the first time. But Chrono Trigger suffered the same issues as the Final Fantasy Anthology games did. Sloooooowwwwww load times, gameplay lag, and lower sound quality.
Yeah honestly I think clock tower and a few other horror games came before resident evil . Phantasmagoria , and games like bram strokers dracula came out in the late 1980s on the NES and super Nintendo . So they came before resident evil . Cause resident evil didn't come until 1997
I'd still recommend you play Rayman 2: The Great Escape on the N64, Dreamcast, or PC. The PlayStation version isn't visually bad looking. However, the game was quite watered down.
The reason Soul Edge was renamed Soul Blade on PS1 and Soul Calibour on Dreamcast is really really really stupid. Basicly the head of a studio decided to rename his gaming company that put out very averge games and called it The Edge. Then he filled a pattern on the word "Edge" in regards to video games. This guy thought he was a god that could bully companies into changing their game titles because he owned the word edge. The main problem was that noone ever challenged him. So he kept getting away with it. Until he bit of more than he could chew by trying to sue EA when they released Mirros Edge. EA tore this guy a new one making sure everyone knew that having a company with a generic name doesn't mean you own this generic word. The pattent could only be used if a gamestudio would name itself "edge" and I mean only "EDGE" if you wanna create a studio and call it Curved Edge you can do that. Afterwards the guy was forced to admit that he couldn't own the word edge which made him so depressed he left gaming and became a priest.
@@Fortefyre I was in college when I first saw a PS2. I remember when Vice City came out and how we all gathered into someone’s room around a 20” crtTV to experience the glory of that game.
That was a time to be alive lmao. I remember having a small tv myself and thinking I had "surround sound" because I used a splitter on some shitty computer speakers and had it mounted to the wall lmao.

That's a great memory!
The boost meter confusion was hilarious. I believe I asked if it was a rectal thermometer 😂
Might as well have been, because this ass was on fire lmao.

I completely agree! I will say that the music alone accompanied IX so well, the story felt natural and real.
5:00 - yeah, Goblet of Fire is where my enjoyment for Harry Potter games ended too. only i enjoyed them on Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, with those ports being JRPGs instead of what they were on Console.
Like the....multiple people control was trash lmao.

It took a long time for me to get into tekken. I was a street fighter kid through and through
I'd love to see you talk about timelines! That would be amazing!
added to the list!
Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 were fun on PS1. They were both fun but could by tough in points.
I actually rented Megaman 64 as a kid!

I'd definitely add Jade Cocoon for the reason that you mentioned.
Didn't monster rancher read your discs and give you monsters?

I tend to avoid all the extra stuff in lieu of beating the core story, but I've heard it's a fiend to do all the extra stuff, especially Excalibur 2.

Oooh, you're going to be mad at me, because I was beyond done with LoD when I played it lmao.

I haven't actually checked them out yet!

Yeah I was told about how asinine that naming convention was lmao.
I have an arcade pcb of sound edge. It’s an decent early 3D fighter
Soul Edge or Sound Edge :P

Yeah it's bad lol. But the game is great!
But I do remember playing armor core for xbox as a pack in.
I need to continue that line, but I need to explore more From games before I can.

3D Monster Maze is even older.
Those games look good!
They look great!
I'd still recommend you play Rayman 2: The Great Escape on the N64, Dreamcast, or PC.

How did this come out 5 days ago and I’m just now seeing it? (shakes fist at algorithm)
*breathes heavily*

Oh my god is this the plot of a Black Mirror episode? LMAO
DEW IT!! (make it long form vids though ;) )
Yeah it would have to be a long form process lol.
😂😂😂 try getting Excalibur 2 🤣🤣🤣for FF9
Jumping the shark 🤣🤣🤣 ahh fonzy😂😂😂
:P
Played very few ps1 games. Spent most of my PS time on 3 and 4
PS3 and PS4 were my young adulthood and adulthood respectively.
@@Fortefyre I was in college when I first saw a PS2. I remember when Vice City came out and how we all gathered into someone’s room around a 20” crtTV to experience the glory of that game.

40 winks
I've heard of that one!
@@Fortefyre great game and underrated I loved it as a kid
