Any video from this channel is a blessing, long or short I'm sure most of us are happy whenever you share your time with us! That's certainly how I feel anyway.
Thank you!
Not gonna lie, it really warms my heart everytime I can enjoy a new video of yours. Video games are a big passion of mine, but my whole family is completely indifferent towards it. No matter what genre, or setting, they always shut me down when I tried talking to them about it. And nowadays, as an adult, even my friends lost complete interest. Life is hard and busy sometimes, but making time to sit back and enjoy an old favourite game of mine, or dive into something new makes me so happy.
And then seeing you, in your fine age enjoying and appreciating games, is really endearing. Bless you, stay healthy and godspeed to you
Yaaaaay more content! Happy to see your healthy, hope things have been going well for you :).
It's fantastic to see someone of a more mature background show such a love for game software. It's a pleasure to watch and listen. I can tell you're very fond of the plushies!
Very cute game. I've never heard of it before so it was a treat to hear you talk about it.
thank you for your reviews! it's okay if they're not as long as usual. i just hope you are healthy and happy :)
Thank you for the videos they make me feel warm and comfy! They are all very enjoyable ❤️
I kid you not, I logged on UA-cam as I wrapped up my final day in Rune Factory before bed and said to myself "I only have about fifteen minutes, but I so wish I had a new F4D video to watch - it'd be perfect for this type of night". Lo and behold, here you are! What perfect timing. I've heard nothing but delightful things about this game, so I'm sure it'll warm your heart, if nothing else. Thank you for continuing to entertain and educate us, even with all of your current health issues. I hope this didn't strain your eyes too badly, but the sacrifice is noted and appreciated immensely :)
Just wanted to say that I love your videos. You're really engaging and sincere in a way that so few people are. Your videos always feel like being wrapped in a warm blanket, and they're informative and well produced to boot! I'm currently sick and your videos have been really comforting. Blessings to you!
Thank you and I wish you a speedy recovery!
I very much adore this game, especially the King. I love how he is just in the background looking over Yuu! I got a plush of the dragon King himself from the NIS store and he's been my favorite plush ever since ♥
Yes! 🤗
I’m from Germany and just discovered your wonderful channel. I was born 1968, discovering you read some of the same books I’ve read in my childhood I was so delighted. to get reminded ofLatte Igel, Rübezahl, Huckleberry Finn, Onkel Toms Hütte, Prinz Eisenherz and the beautiful stories of Hans Christian Andersen together with the Greek mythology and some other ingredients, it makes the mix that lets your fantasy fly secured by the roots of history and fantasy.
Everything about that artbook looks adorable. I was considering playing both Liar Princess, and this game. It might be time I finally start.
Agreed about the artwork. I’m in the boat of never looking into these before, although I had heard of this game at least (not the Liar Princess, though). This review has certainly peaked my interest to check either (or both) out at some point.
Great video! I love the depth of your commentary.
Yay!!! I’m just happy to see you talking about games you enjoy or will hopefully enjoy!
Lovely to see another video! Always nice for me to relax and unwind with before heading to bed. I admit I found the back cover of the game with a blank template quite amusing, even though that really should have been picked up on!
I love art books that are aesthetically pleasing to have on the shelf and the books in this edition certainly meet that.
Thank you very much for continuing to make videos. I appreciate every one, regardless of length!
Your videos always make me so happy, keep up the great content!! :D
I love the way you do your videos, they are very interesting and entertaining! I love to hear about the history, and your commentary on it all!
You are amazing! I love your videos they make so many people happy! Keep it up!
This looks gorgeous and the music is beautiful!
Love the videos as usual. So calming 🥰
Your passion for the games you've covered brings a smile to my face!
Your unboxing videos have become one of my favorite parts of UA-cam. They always feel so cozy and personal, and your genuine love for these games shines through. I'm really looking forward to more videos, long or short! Bless you and your channel (:
Thank you.
What a lovely video and collectors edition! I never played this or the older game, but the art style is beautiful. That art book is very cute. The design for the game cover was very strange, but it was a nice detail to have a world map inside! Thank you for the video, Britta! 🥰
Great video!! This game honestly wasn’t on my radar but the art book and gameplay you showed looked so charming. Also the soundtrack in the clip at 12:35 is giving me some serious Atelier vibes. Thanks for the content despite your recent health issues. We appreciate it!
I appreciate the time and effort you put in to making these videos thanks.
Right? I've just discovered this channel, and she doesn't do it for money, or because she "has to". It seems as if she really cares, which is very unique and heartwarming nowadays.
Loving all the videos and the stories behind that. New subscriber ;-)
Very upset. I’m subscribed and didn’t get an alert for this! Thanks UA-cam 😭. I just searched on a whim since we were getting videos near Saturday. I mean… 15 min is a decent length for a video! Thanks for giving us anything at all!
Also: I took your advice and kept checking Play Asia. I checked just in time for their pending restock of the Atelier Mysterious trilogy and snatched it up ($99 vs $199 EVERYWHERE ELSE). I also picked up Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth because they had the switch version for $35 and it was $65 everywhere else! Happy gaming!
The artbook look amazing, I'm not into game collectors hobbie but the book collector and definitely it's a thing I would like in my library.
Great video.
This game looks sooooo cute! I'm definitely adding it to the list of games I'm interested in playing. The art book also looks really nicely made and the plushie is very cute
what a lovely video for a lovely seeming game! the art style and music are gorgeous!
Every time a new video of yours pops up, I'm so happy.
Thank you.
Always good to see you doing well! Very interesting looking game. I hadn't heard of it.
omg, I just discovered your channel and I fell in love with! Loved the content!
Never heard of this game before, I might buy after watching your video! Its lovely and cute!
Loved the way you were reading the book! Congrats for the channel ! It made my day!
Kisses from Brazil ❤
Thank you.
Your videos always make me smile
I love your videos so much ♥️ thank you for all the smiles and comfort you bring me ♥️
well that looks adorable! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the video, hope you enjoyed the game!
I love CE my only issue is that they are hard to find a place for... I rather have my games in the shelf BUT you could always make a corner with just collectors editions, I guess.
Yes, it's really all about storage space. And I am running out. There ain't a corner left in *any* room here where I could store more! 😁
Good thing I won't be buying many more from now on.
Misprint, be worth something in future 🎉, thanks for another great video. Hope well and Stay safe and of course happy gaming :)
Beautiful box, unfortunately the loose paper bandage bothers me a bit. This has already been done by NIS America with other releases. In the American version, this is solved much better.
Seriously, these loose paper wraps drive me nuts! I secure them with a rubber band round the box. But it's really awkward, and it's so easy to get them dogeared. I understand the reason why they do it ... but it's not ideal.
@@Food4Dogs Now such scammers already create Telegram accounts from UA-cam users
@@AlonsoFan2023 They're such a pest. This particular scam is well known by now, so most people know to just ignore them. But it is frustrating.
I remove them when I see them, but there are just too many. ☹️
Info and updates, as always, on my Community tab.
Wonderful video as usual! No matter how long it is I always enjoy your videos :) I also have this same edition for my switch and it’s a lovely game. Hope you enjoy it!
💜 nice unboxing
I always enjoy your videos, Mrs. Britta, no matter the length. :)
Hi Food4Dogs! beautiful unboxing! thank you very much, i think that this game it will be very nice! I think that i will play it! thank you!
Hope all is well. Enjoyed the new video. You were right about Persona 4 it is so difficult to put down.
I just discovered your channel, and you have the exact same tastes as my mother, that's awesome
I love your video reviews so much that I end up buying the game afterwards. That also included both P5 Collector editions ;-; in one month back to back.
p.s. I ended up buying it on Amazon for $35.99.
What a cute little game this is! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. =]
Looking forward to this!😊
This looks like a cute game. I do love turned based games so it may be one I try. Of course, I hope your health is amazing and I hope the hands hold up for many years to come. Thank you for the review videos!
Beautiful edition! That height and length is my favourite for special editions. I wish all the Atelier games had a beautiful edition like this for all their recent games.
I haven’t played this game yet (still working my way through Sophie 2), but I did finish The Liar Princess and Blind Prince and thoroughly enjoyed it despite its slightly clunky platforming. The story was great with a gorgeous art style.
Yea, I hear you about the Japanese "Premium" format boxes we're now getting .. really awkward.
Those Watchmen books look so cool.
Oh I loved Liar Princess and the Blind Prince. Such an adorable little puzzle platformer game.
Like playing a fairy tale,
what a cute little game! I love the art style 😊
Ohh ! I love so so much these creator ! The art are beautiful, and I kinda want to full box like you have ! I did play The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince (even did a fanart !) and see that they continue to do other games are so cool ! Thank you so much for this lovely video. (sorry for my bad english)
Your English is just fine, Leonie - please do not apologize! 😀
That's some lovely artwork you did of the Liar Princess.
@@Food4Dogs Thank you so much! 🥰
Haha, how bizarre that the back is printed like that. Since it's such a small release, I'm wondering if it might've been a mistake and we're missing out on some of the artwork because of it. Curious.
keep doing what you are doing, hope you enjoyed the rpg and the story.
That copy of the game may be worth something because of the mess up on the back. Definitely hold onto it and put it up for sale in a few years. People still want physical games.
I wondered about that too! 😄
Maybe I'll be rich when I'm 90? Hehe
That videogame designs look so cute
As Thor once said:
YEEEEEEEEEEEES!
I absolutely love this game!
Thank you, have fun!
i love your videos 🥰
Your awesome😄😄😄😄we all love you😄😄😄😄😄
What a cozy, laid back and beautiful video! The artstyle of this game is gorgeous but I am worried if it is too difficult for me. Regardless, well done!
Hello Miss Bubbles. 😀
It is absolutely not too difficult! In fact, I'm wondering about recommending it for gamers with children.
I'll be playing and recording more and will do a proper video summary.
@@Food4Dogs hello 🙋🏻♀️ I look forward to it so I can make a better purchasing decision!
@@MissBubbles I meant to say earlier: I assume you're kidding when you said "too difficult". 😄
This game is super easy, after 5 hrs of playing I can confidently say that the primary audience appears to be younger players. So for gamers like us, it's more a "treat" because of the art and lovely warm-fuzzy children's storybook appeal.
I don’t know how to spell your name accurately so I won’t even try. I want to thank you for sharing your experience so humbly and with great ruth
You're so adorable and also a good proof that having interest in "nerdy" media has no age.
Short and Sweet!
amazing
I love this stuff
The story in this game is so beautiful and amazing
It looks like a really cute game.
Great game and so nostalgic
Every time I see an upload of yours, it makes me smile. I absolutely love what you do!
Is this a PlayStation exclusive? It looks absolutely stunning, I hope it’s out for PC or Xbox.
The only other platform I've seen it listed for is the Switch.
I should've mentioned that!
@@Food4Dogs No worries. 😄 I’ll get it for the Switch then. Thanks for messaging back!
Wow, I never knew "The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince" had a spiritual successor! I definitely need to check it out at some point. I'm glad they're changing the gameplay, as I found the puzzle-platforming of the predocessor to be a bit too simplistic.
In that case, you may find this one (Cruel King) also too simplistic. I think it's actually geared mainly towards children. It's a very easy RPG with lots of side quests and of course a charming story.
@@Food4Dogs Well, that's not a huge problem. I mostly enjoyed Liar Princess for the visual style and story, so as long as those are still intact, I bet I'll enjoy this game too.
@@Halucygeno It's about the balance of elements, and how that works for people individually.
The lovely story, quirky characters (not as dark as Liar Princess), great art and music are all there. The gameplay can be criticised for its rather slow pacing and many encounters.
I'm hoping I'll manage to put together a quick video looking at what's good and what's problematic.
Letting you that the XboxEra podcast did a nice shoutout to your channel on Sunday (yesterday).
Oh! Thank you for letting me know, I didn't know about that. 😀
The plushie is so cute😭
I love that game.
I love your Shin Megami Tensei plush!
I'm fine with shorter videos. I'm just curious why you can't anymore.
I think you are wonderful - as an older player myself, thou i am not very good or confident in my gaming skills. I on your advice and Ircha gaming, i played and loved Atelier Ryza - ty ty :)
Thank you - and yes, Irene (Ircha) is a wonderful person and gives such honest, straightforward advice!
@@Food4Dogs is someone trying to scam me here? when I click on the link it goes to an empty channel..
@@borgessa3 yes, it's a widespread and well-known scam that's been infesting UA-cam for a year now.
Please consult the Community section for important news, updates etc. in such situations!
@@Food4Dogs Thanks - I rarely rarely comment on youtube video's, all that stranger danger anxiety.. But I love your video's so had to
Nippon Ichi is such a matyr of the game industry. They make all these niche games for us and not earn nearly enough moeny for their troubles
My mother loves gaming, and I've watched her play video games for as long as I can remember. As soon as I was old enough to understand how to play a videogame at all, I immediately picked it up and never turned back. I think my first video game was Pokémon explorers of time. But it also could've been one of many DS era Harvest moon games. Well recently (if you can call January recent) I went to my local GameStop to pick up a copy of Fire Emblem engage on launch day. While we there there my mother saw a copy of the special edition of The Cruel King and the Great Hero on display. And she immediately lit up, she didn't end up getting the game but it made me happy to see her so enthusiastic about a game she'd never heard of before.
Edit: I just talked with my mom about it and she said that just seeing it made her immediately think of Ni no Kuni because of the style and the box. And that she needs to get her hands on it. So I think even more that I should try and nab the Story Book edition for her if I can.
I think that would be a lovely surprise for her. I see this edition still around with some retailers, but I wouldn't wait too long. Let me know how it goes! 😀
@@Food4Dogs
Update: So I got the game on Ebay, or so I thought. Turns out the seller was selling the storybook edition... Without the game but with all of the bonuses and the box. And they didn't mention it at all,so now I'll have to get the game digitally so she and I can actually play it. Plus there's probably going to be shipping delays due to all of the snow that's going on where I live. And so the surprise is a mess. And no longer a surprise, but it's definitely been an experience she or I won't forget. But hopefully in the end she can actually play it.
@@LiliOfTheValleyIZkewl I'm sorry to hear that - I'm no stranger to eBay and other trading mess-ups 😞.
However, you have the box items in good condition? The plushie is ofc rather sweet. 😀
@@Food4Dogs
I'm hoping that it won't get beat up in the mail, but otherwise there's nothing left to worry about. it's got everything else besides the game at the very least, so I'm hoping that even if the box gets roughed up she'll be able to enjoy the bonuses.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love this game almost as much as I love you.
The ost sounds quite pleasant to listen to and the art style looks fun and cute. How engaging is the combat? I struggled a bit staying engaged with some rpg games (such as Dragon Quest) due to how simplistic the battle mechanics were, so I wonder if I would have a harder time getting into this one.
It is extremely simple - I would say aimed mainly at children .
From what you say, I doubt you'd be the right target audience.
NISA Europe is such a funny name to think about. "Japan First Software America Europe."
I picked up the US version of this collectors edition for Switch, and I'll probably play it... sometime...
Haha, yes, translated like that it's a bit of alphabet soup. 😄
Lovely game, I hope you can get the Hero’s plush companion (Dragon) n.n
Unfortunately, that's already out of stock, and otherwise only available with the big CE.
You are the coolest.
I was wondering do you ever buy digital download games? Awesome unboxing the game looks adorable.
Yes, I actually buy a lot digitally!
Most of my unboxings are for PS4 and Vita, because those are my main collecting platforms. But even there, I have many digital games. Let's face it, many games these days are digital-only.
With the Switch, I have more games digitally than physically!
Nice video as always. Have you played dokuro on vita? the jp version has eng on it
Yes, I even have the physical copy!
It's a favourite with me. 😀
@@Food4Dogs You are always two steps aheads of my recommendation! I love dokuro too, one of my few platinums
@@justinkitton5492 I haven't managed to plat it - I'm not very good at puzzle platformers - but that doesn't stop me loving it. 😄
You have a really nice kitchen
I don't really make videos about my kitchen 😁 - but thank you, I designed it myself.
I was going to pass on this game but I think I will pick this one up.
You’ve caught the bug of collecting limited editions of games I see! Have you discovered Limited Run Games and Special Reserve Games (and others) yet?
You Must Be Kidding!
What do you think I've been doing the last few years? 😄
My wallet can tell you how much and how early I discovered LRG and other limited print companies. 😂
I don't mind shorter videos. I still enjoyed it, nonetheless
I’m playing it on switch and it’s a really good and cute game.
Oh good. How would you describe the difficulty? So far I got the impression it might be suitable for all age groups, inc younger players?
So far it is like a beginner rpg
@@zacharystone3934 Yes, I'm 5 hours in and it's clearly aimed at younger players and RPG novices.
But I I’m still enjoying the game
That's good!
I like it too. I wish the pacing was a bit nippier - but that's really the worst I can say. 😄
i am on the femce buying it - this looks awesome
It is a very easy RPG - to me it feels like mainly aimed at children. It's still charming and enjoyable but suffers a bit from pacing and longueurs.
@@Food4Dogs that's what i thought, if i picked it up it would be mainly for the beautiful art
@@zockeromi1970 I think with that approach you're on the right track. The art and general children's storybook vibe. Also a game to share with small visitors, nephews & nieces etc.
@@Food4Dogs you know, i sometimes buy children's books, just because i love them 😉
@@zockeromi1970 Exactly!
They're the most difficult thing to write and get right. Just look at Maurice Sendak!
Btw, another game with a lovely children's book vibe is The Wild at Heart.
hi
How do you feel about persona coming to xbox?
Hi Sparrow, I cover this type of topic in my weekly news and personal updates in the Community section. I just posted yesterday about the Xbox Showcase there.
@@Food4Dogs thanks for responding will take a look at it now.
