PS2 isn't as bad, but yea, PS1's dithering and stuff can hurt without a filter - some games are better than others (was tempted to do internal scaler to compensate for that, but can cause some glitches, especially when it comes to the mixed 2d/3d games) Oddly, I don't mind sharp pixels as much if we go further back though (SNES/Genesis/NES/etc.) outside of a few games that pushed the systems, or used weird tricks (like waterfalls in Sonic), tend to do okay with sharp pixels.
I never thought I'd see another video covered on this. I played it a couple years ago cause of the Ghibli art style but I was actually enamoured by its music and atmosphere. Also the game having voice acting in a PS1 game was actually kinda sick and no random encounters! It was also not very long for an RPG which was a plus, I like a game that doesn't waste too much time. It's also a fairly unique setting for this genre at the time, I like the Aztec/Native theming. Nice video man
Yea, the leads at ghibli were amazing at bringing innovative style to games - and they usually did pretty good at partnering with companies that accentuated that with solid music, and at least semi-decent gameplay. I really wish we'd get more under-represented themes in games like this - seems hard to convince companies to step outside the safe zone when it comes to lore inspiration.
It always amazes me how many games they worked on... and how many of them turned into cult classics (think the only one that's not a cult classic is literally the only Ghibli movie branded game - Nausicaa, which was a buggy mess lol)
lol, my brain for a second went "But they did remake Lord of Destruction in D2R" - then I realized: "Legend of Dragoon" - yea, a remake that has been sorely needed for quite a while, and I'd be all over it (LoD is actually on my short list for Nostalgia bait - generally the poll split is "2 shortlist, 2 backlog" games, when I post them)
Thank you for covering such a remote and cool little piece of my childhood. Christ that was like 20+ years ago.... Anyways thanks again! Very happy this popped into my life today. Heres to hoping you take a look at the sequel!
Definitely plan to look at the sequel - though oddly I haven't played it outside of making sure my disc works lol. I've heard mixed things about it, but am fairly optimistic :)
Gosh those PS1 and PS2 games really need a CRT. We were not meant to see those raw pixels and dither patterns.

There's videos all over UA-cam about this
@@IzraelGraves "another"
Never heared of this channel and I'm 2 seconds in but covering Jade Cocoon is an instant like in my book
Yup, that game absolutely oozes Ghibli style. So many lovely little details, carefully put together to make a bigger whole.
That is Ghibli.

When I was not allowed to play Pokemon this was my game.
Wish they would remake LOD in some type of way

LIVED FOR THIS GAME
