What a run! I adored Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia growing up. Really fun to hear you talk about the tricks and hear how much you appreciate the game. Thanks for the run!

[@EcchiSketches]

Great run! The runners commentary was really fun and informative. Always love a run that fills you in on the tricks instead of assuming you know what’s being done different compared to casual playthrough!

[@BowieAlexander]

I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad I could put on a good show! :)

I'm a simple man, I see Bowie doing a speedrun, I like.

You a simpleton

[@yunakitty2]

Will’s rude line to Neil is absolutely a mistranslation! The original is more like “I was embarrassed to see Neil so upset.”

Havent seen a new Illusion of Gaia run in a few years :D

Bowie the Hero, not to be confused with Bowie the SDMN

[@akadlibking325]

Isn't it beautiful how a video game player, in front of an audience, can sing a birthday song for a said video game's character (Happy birthday Lilly!) Which creates a genuine response of the audience to donate for superbly relevant and important issues? It gives me hope that there're still such good people out there.

[@dannyhartwig7595]

liked the setting but i was lost so many times on the maps. specialy the cloud city was horrbible mace

[@SarkenHS]

I know it can be seen as very dumb, but the one and only reason I just never bothered with that game, even 'tho it's from the same "trilogy" as Soulblazer, and especially Terranigma, one of my fav game of all time, is because of the art style : / I just can't appreciate it or even deal with it.
Hence why it's good to watch some speedrun of it, as to finally half explore than game.
Also, it's BOWIEtheHERO, so it's a must watch by default anyway ; )

[@evilleffen]

I disagree with your opinion, but I don't think anyone would call you dumb for having this opinion. I'm very fond of the art style of IoG. I may or may not be viewing the game through nostalgia goggles, but I think it still looks amazing even by today's standards. I do think some assets that were changed from the original JP version to the localized NA version were very strange and overall lower quality, like the crosses being removed in the school, Viper having that weird mask, etc.

I disagree and I could call you dumb, but I dont really wanna
