Glad more people are enjoying this modern classic, one of the better jrpgs of the generation and so little people played it

That kid in the prologue,she's Aerial

Dummy suletta is not eri

I like twewt but I can admit it sucks lol

Spread the word folks, give the franchise some exposure!

Just a little comment for the algorithm

Falcom's biggest strength is that they maintain a development cycle that manages to create a good game each year. Their only issue is that their games are very niche. With so few people, they manage a good plot/story, good gameplay, good OST, good presentation, and decent graphics. I think they should sell more than they do, they deserve it.

The Moonlight Witch was released on the PSP by Konami (as with Song of the Ocean and Tears of Vermillion), while I wouldn't call it good English, it's playable. So we did get that entire set of games with crappy localization.

6:42 What song is this? And cool name Gaius is one of my absolute favorites!

I'm a Ys fan before getting into trails, I loved Ys games because their godsend osts that make me think: if they can make ys music so great, maybe I should try their other flagship franchise, and then everything is history. Falcom made me their slave, buying their every game no matter is ys, trails or xanadu...and I also start to buy both jp and eng version of the games because first I have 0 patience of wait for localization, and second, want to have another copy of English version to experience again in another language. As for trails, this is the closest thing to a long-running Shonen anime series I got to play and felt the immersion of the world. In trails you can find all kinds of battle Shonen anime/manga tropes: fans arguing about who is the strongest, power level doesn't make sense, fan service, nobody dies in story, plot holes, etc. I say like this not because I dislike these traits,I LOVE Shonen anime tropes, I love one piece, naruto, bleach, dragon ball, jojo, these old school ones, and trails gave me literally everything. and a lot of them I saw it from a anime show I loved, a grandiose world like one piece, certain plot points in naruto(notably, Rean's obssesion with Crow or Joshua/Estelle/Loewe relationship), structure in jojo(each parts got a new group of main characters with old characters show up to play important roles). what else I need? I'm going to follow falcom until the end of earth....I decided...

Suletta isn't Eri?

Really great video!

I'm hoping you get a lot of views on this. Anything to let people know. There's only a few games from my teen years that are still near and dear to my heart: TWEWY and Phantom Dust. I religiously check up to see on sequels and while I didn't pre-order, I bought Neo on launch day and I wish I hadn't lost the switch in the divorce.

Thank you for watching!

Now I'm curious about your thoughts on Quest 64.

As someone has has actually played it, what would your takeaways be for a modern remake?

Now talk about how great that "ending" was. I loved every episode but 24. Made me rethink my whole life. 😢

Lieing ass title bro

need more 7th dragon games fr

I love this series, I’m so excited for these new games to come out! Honestly, I think they should take their time to make the games really good. Rune Factory 4 will always be my favorite. Recently, I found a copy of the very first Rune Factory game and haven’t played it yet.

Definitely a SLICE of Life.

Episode 12... then all of season 2. It feels like I'm going through a war

Wizardry wasn't actually the first such game. The great achievement of Wizardry was 1) to port this kind of game from computers that only universities could afford to computers that normal people had at home (specifically the Apple II), and 2) to make it fit into two floppy disks. Wizardry was a clone of _Oubliette_, a 1977 game for the PLATO computer system of the University of Illinois. Oubliette was visually very similar to Wizardry and had a similar dungeon structure with 10 levels, but it had far more character classes and no main quest.

One thing that is interesting is how many games of basically the same vein as Wizardry/M&M don't do well as indies on steam. I was looking it up on game-stats and even the re-releases of Wizardry games (e.g. 6/7/8) outperform modern tiles like Amberland. I wonder how much of it is brand recognition versus a dislike of people diverging from the classics

No mention of Etrian Odyssey, the king of Wizardry spiritual successors!

Another popular series that was influenced by Wizardry is the King's Field series by none other than FromSoftware! For those that don't know, Kings Field was the first series made by FromSoftware, even before Armored Core (which pre-Souls era these two series would be the 'bread and butter' of the company). So for those of you that like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, you have Wizardry to thank for that as well.

I've been reading the English localization of Blade & Bastard, and its a pretty good fantasy series. Unlike some adaptations, it doesn't require you to know anything about the source material. It also remains faithful to the feeling of the source material without being slavish in presenting the details. It doesn't use game/lit-rpg elements (stat screens, hp, etc). It is a serious fantasy world setting that just happens to have Wizardry elements and mechanics, like the spells being Wizardry spells, the dungeon, or how the church can (sometimes) bring dead adventurers back to life for a fee.

To this day people still falsely believe the series is japanese and that turn based games are jrpgs

Incel actions lead to time and space reaching evil and tragedy. NTR, not even once.

Its odd how long it took me to start playing the Wizardry games. I didn't play any until mid 92. I started with the sixth game if memory serves and it was one of the first WRPGs I played at home, and might be the first I played at home on a PC without at least starting a run elsewhere. Because I was eight when my dad went back to college and got our first PC so before that all my PC game playing was at his oldest friend's house and I at least started many WRPGs there and beat a few.

Thank you for watching! I forgot about Wizardry 8 which was released in 2001, so I should have said "8 games from 1981 to 2001" instead of "8 games from 1981 to 1992". I even messed up my subtitle correction.

I just stumbled onto this channel and this video is so good I love falcom I own all the trails on ps4/5

Your screens and font detail and sharpness are far better than mine.... is this PS version? PC seems barely-mastered lol Edit: nevermind. 2G remaster looks like hot garbage, where the Anniversary 1 version looks massively updated UI

The story is so trash. going from world to world is so dead in concept. I love this game so much

"Martial Arts RPG where you go around learning martial arts styles" WHAT? SOMEBODY MADE MY DREAM RPG!?

I genuinely don't think i could agree more!! 😁

I really liked Xeno and I found whole drama of Reborn so odd that I played that right after (I found it just awful compared to OG xeno only thing really had going for it was bring back the dog and dungeons that werent all the same) Atm am playing Metal Saga and while it has its flaws I'm still enjoying it during that time I've gotten copies of MMR,MM2R,MM3,MM4,MSDS (I oddly already owned PS4 copy of Metal Dogs from PA sale before I even played Xeno lol) Also there been trailer for new Metal Saga drop so looking forward seeing what that leads to also

with all the insane buyouts and studio closures these days, i can see the games industry slowly going into Falcom's model of 'indie' budgeting of games, and focusing on consistent output instead of trying to chase the golden goose of viral AAA live service that prints money eternally

This channel has made my backlog grow out of control lol. Thanks.

Thank you for watching!

I LOVED 7th Dragon III Code VFD! I bought it on a whim and instantly fell in love with the battle system and the soundtrack. I really think we in the west missed out on a great series and hope Sega brings this and more over.

Hey, great video!

“It has a little something for everyone,” “this game really makes you FEEL like 8 different people”

I dont know how you said all that so fast

Ignore this fool . Play them all

Only buying this game for Formina.... Finally some actual change in gaming.

Love turn based games my biggest gripe shi like pokemon if ts not challenging then it's boring af whats the point of having all these systems and never be forced to use them and be strategic when people say turn based games are boring gameplay or suck I think of games lacking difficulty options or difficulty at all cuz it's just clicking the same stuff over and over

Never heard of this, great and brief coverage!

I never heard of this game, thank you for shedding some light on it!

Yeah the series starts to channel "kill em all Tomino" real fast. Like a lot of characters are not safe. It's not quite Akame ga kill levels of character death but it's up there.e
