    Is there any game like this for android?

      @BawesomeBurf  3 роки тому +2

      I have no idea since I've never really dabbled with mobile gaming, but hopefully someone in the comments can help you. :)

      There are thousands of such titles.

      It's a tactical RPG so try mercenary saga series
      There was another but I forgot there's also disgaea though it costs quite a bit

      @@izzanbacharrudinsoedarsono Oh yeah, I forgot that was on Android. IIRC, they fixed the slowdown in that version of the game.

    Due to growing up in Southeast Asia ( Cambodia), I have seen many iteration of the story from live drama, books etc growing up. It’s great to see that westerners are enjoying the same story as I did in my younger years. Just bought the game and can’t wait to ply it. Thanks for the review .

    Thanks for playing all these old random games AND making such great short reviews of them. I'll probably never get around to playing most of what I think is interesting but it's great to be able to see just a little bit of the game on vids like this anyway.

    Seeing reviews like this just makes me fall in love with the ps1 graphics. This is still one of the few ps1 jrpg's I need to add to the collection but its nice to hear its a competent game nonetheless.

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому +3

      +TheCompletionist Yes, I love these PS1 SRPG graphics. The battle maps on this one look very similar to FF Tactics, which is one of my favorite games of all-time.

    • @ShamanNoodles
      @ShamanNoodles 6 років тому +2

      I feel the exact same as both of you. i play the ps1 more than i play any of my new gen systems :D the art is just gorgeous to me! (FF tactics is one of my top 3 games)

    The reason they put single disc games into double jewel cases is because of the size of the manual. The manual was too thick to fit into the insert of a single disc jewel case.

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  6 років тому +1

      Ah, that makes sense. Seems like a waste though.

  • @Majora_T
    @Majora_T 8 років тому +3

    Wow, I love the Chinese folktale heritage. The game itself is beautiful as well doing the phrase "PS1 game" justice. Love those themes playing in the background as well; they should've thrown a CD in that double case, even if it was a bit repetitious. I'll keep my eyes out should this pop up. Great as always!

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому +1

      +Majora T Yeah, a music CD would have been a great pack-in. This game doesn't seem to be too common, but its not too expensive either.

    Beat this game as a poor ukranian kid back in early 2000s, still not sure how this game found me, rare gem

  • @GeorgeWeeman
    @GeorgeWeeman 8 місяців тому +1

    Also as a side note, you can play as either a male, or female Sanzo, but they both share the same exact story.

    LOL i never realized the short form is those 3 letters. and great review i found you explained things like the battles and story way better then i did so awesome on that part

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому +1

      +BioPhoenix Yeah, its unfortunate that it shares those 3 letters with that other thing. Thanks for reviewing this game, may not have heard about it otherwise. :)

    How I wish the Koei game developers will do a remake of this interesting, fantastic and wonderful game.

    • @Mintcar923
      @Mintcar923 Рік тому

      It just dawned on me in that it feels almost like a precursor to Jeanne DArc.. I’m hoping both are rereleased in some way.. It’s so perplexing being they’re both excellent yet no one really knows about them

  • @nintenjoel
    @nintenjoel 7 років тому +1

    Damn, I just passed on this game... Now I'm after it. But man, it is actually cheap! 28 bucks, SEALED, on ebay??? Crazy! Nice review man!

  • @MattandJaelon

    Nice review sir! Dont know if this one would be for me

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому +2

      +Matt and Jaelon It is somewhat similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, but a lot easier. If you like that game, you may enjoy this one.

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому

      +Andrew Phillips I did the same thing with Wild Arms, it sat on my PS3 for about 2 years before I played it. This one is definitely worth trying out.

    • @andrewwebsterphillips
      @andrewwebsterphillips 8 років тому +2

      BawesomeBurf Aye same with me with Wild Arms. Funny thing was I finished 2,3,4,5 and finally got around to playing the first. Excellent game. I've been wanting to play a strategy rpg so perhaps Saiyuki will be it.

  • @Conflictproject69
    @Conflictproject69 4 роки тому +2

    It would be great if it was a rpg cuz it’s just turn based strategy gets boring fast exploring city’s and the world map would of made the game great it’s just battle story battle

  • @Jack_80
    @Jack_80 4 роки тому

    i already got most of the good ps1 and ps2 rpgs from the ps3 store. got enough left on my account and this one would be very tempting if it had some challenge like ff tactics. i just picked up legend of mana and am trying to decide between wild arms 2 and arc the lad 2.

    • @BawesomeBurf
      @BawesomeBurf  8 років тому +1

      +KITT171 You might be able to download it on the Vita, although I'm not sure how many PS1 games are compatible with it. The really nice thing about this game is that you can save anytime.

    • @KITT171
      @KITT171 8 років тому +1

      I was going to use the PlayStation emulator at some point to play it, just ended up forgetting I guess. I have no idea if it is one of the PS1 games that works on the VITA. Don't know if I want to play a strategy game on a small screen though, not what I am used to.

    if only the characters were the same as the anime Gensomaden Saiyuki, this would be much more enjoyable.
