      sadly I know very little about rance, but I do know people who do know about rance so i gain the knowledge via osmosis

      @@Kraftium its ghengis khan the jrpg, very cleverly written inspite of all the you know... rapes and stuff, i have only played the first 3 games but from what ive seen the series expands considerably in scope with rance x being the jrpg with most words in it at this point

    The general morphing of the game titles is a stroke of brilliance. GG.

      haha thanks :D
      I wanted to do a better job of having it zoom out and layer up with the screen but the music and the video would have to be out of sync and I was also a little short on time cos i forgot when april were but I think it still turned out ok

    A fine sh*tpost for my April 1st morning. You probably had a lot of fun making this. Well done.

    oh man this truly scathing review of trails in the Flash is exactly what I needed on this first of april
    ok but seriously what is it when kiseki adaptations leaving out key characters
    Kevin is nowhere to be seen in the SC first half ova
    Crow isn't in this despite his banter potentially adding a lot of fun.
    and northern war.....
    .... i guess... we don't need to talk about northern war... at least that one has Cameos.... i mean... it's pretty much all it has.
    how long do comments need to be to please Daddy UA-cam algorhythm? anyways I do agree the best way to watch this (and the sc ova) is in a watch party shooting the shit... but on the other hand wouldn't it be nice to have an adaptation of something kiseki related be good?? you'd think a series with such rich lore and story would manage.... oh well... one day.
    at least the Ys anime are good.... yes I will die on this hill.
    great video and happy April fools day, sounds like you had a lot of fun

    • @Kraftium
      @Kraftium  Рік тому +1

      ah yes I love my favourite game by falcom trails in the flash
      also I think they cut the likes of kevin and crow because it would be too poweful otherwise
      as for the adaptations/side material we alwys have ring of judgement and the audio dramas which I think hold up very well
      Also yes Ys anime is very good and works as a great psedo-walkthrough (atleast ys 1 i've not seen book 2)

      @@Kraftium If you play Book 2 like I did it's a perfect walkthrough... just pew pew everything with magic... unfortunately it isn't as 1 to 1 as the book one anime as it focuses more on plot and giving characters arcs... still i love both very much.
      But yes Kevin and crow being too powerful does seem to track *nod nod* guess that is just the hand they have been dealt

    Yes this is what I want from my remakes. Screw Resident evil, demon souls and the last of us and not even mention Ratchet and Clank. This is a remake done right

    This makes me want to finish cold steel 2 and get right to part 3. These games are so long that I had to take a break but I do like the games though. They are just long....

  • @Chelaxim
    @Chelaxim Рік тому +2

    That just sounds like a poor adaption. As a musical and theater geek even two hours is brief regardless of the show. Angels In America Millennium approaches and the sequel angels in America petroska are usually ran back to back now and are six and a half hours long. The satin slipper runs for about 11 hours. And very rarely but some theater companies will do a 12-hour no intermission adaptation of Homer's The idiliad. The Sound of Music on Broadway is longer than the movie let that one sink in.

    • @Kraftium
      @Kraftium  Рік тому +2

      oh wow i never realised stage plays could reach such lengths
      Even so I don't think such a play would be within falcom's budget, their games especially at the time are basically paid for what they can find in their pockets while at the office that day
      A longer musical would mean both more actors to play the cut roles and more rehersals and they were already having some characters show up just in the background on video

    Even as someone that gets incredibly sour at any mention of the Cold Steel/Erebonia and onwards. Even I can admit that this is incredibly charming.
    But, man... Hearing about the passing of the actress who played Alisa was a really sad way to end the video...
    You know, I am going to try to mention something else just to not end my comment on this note. And that is that I have heard a fair share of times how some fans wish that Rean's japanese voice actor was the one that plays his character in the musical. Rather than his VA in the game. Koki Uchiyama.
    Mostly because apparently Uchiyama's voicework is very expensive. Or so I heard.
