In depth, we'll researched, good editing. Got a new sub, keep it up.

Letting us play as the badass final boss from Xillia 1 and making him a super OP permanent party member was a huge flex. Not my favorite Tales game but still really loved it.

How does letting Elle alive (true ending) is the culmination of everything before it? Because from my point of view, the game tells us times and times again that the fractured dimension doesn’t matter, they are not real, they are not real people. Even fractured Milla, after her death, is completely forgotten by the cast. So why NOW choosing to save Elle, who’s from one of those fractured dimension, is the logical course??? Like hello, five minutes ago you were fine to kill fractured people, but not Elle, even though by the writing of this game, she’s not real??

elle is actully my favorite because she can be a lil shit. i feel like that stuff helped make her feel a bit more real. i felt a got gut checked when i first got the luger ending on the second go around.

Nice, in-depth review

49:54 Dudeee... mamago garage is the best track in the game 😂

The debt system was over-hated. It's not a good system, but you can overcome it by fighting a few strong enemies on the bounty list. Never felt like it ruined the pacing once I figured that out very early. And the game is short anyway.

Xillia 1 and 2 combined are the best Tales game in the franchise. I think treating them separately is pointless because the narratives are so interconnected. Xillia 2 also hit the highest emotional highs.

YOU CAN PARRY THE HG-OG'S SHIELD AS IT COMES OUT TO DESTROY IT INSTANTLY????

I like how if you read CH-AS1R's model blurb in the model viewer it makes it even more evident that it was originally intended as a boss. also Kale's tongue in cheek "there's always next time" but that seems a bit depressing now in retrospect.....

I honestly hated this as this completely ruined the worldbuilding and character growth from the previous game. Especially Jude and Milla's relationship. Ugh

What pisses me off is that this game is stuck on my PS3 digital library and I have no way of playing it on current gen consoles.

SMTIII is my favorite entry in the series, in part because it’s inspired and maybe even based of ‘Also sprach Zarathustra/Thus spoke Zarathustra’ by Friedrich Nietze.

Xillia 1 is for me the gatekeeper of Tales’ greatest entries.

Don’t judge a book by its cover, even though it’s a very nice looking cover.

Next time you feel burnt out, just release the video once you're ready. No point in cheating for a video like this, maybe work on a different project in the meantime or something That being said, still enjoyed the video!

Xillia 2 left a bad taste in my mouth. Why make a direct sequel and introduce a main character, why have them be silent? Why not resolve the plot threads hanging from the original, which should be a the whole reason to make a direct sequel.

This and Xillia 1 need more attention tbh

I don’t remember needing to grind Especially in dds1 ? Couple of bosses needed a more understood and tighter puzzle like method to figure out but never felt like I had to get extra levels to push strength. I just stop and out wit.

Nocturne is one of my favorite games however I've gotten so lost in a dungeon before I got physically sick and had to quit the game lol. It's the worst in dungeon design out of the smt games I've played. Side note personal head Canon is actually that smt 5 is a sequel to smt nocturne

No way you said this was some of shoji meguro's weakest work lmao. I think the music in this duology rivals that of persona so we'll agree to disagree on that one.

I wanted to like this video more but around the halfway point when you just had long segments of voice chat screaming I had to stop.

I feel you were way too harsh on DOA 4. The game was faster than the previous ones but it was also very polished. The stages were great and the graphics were beautiful. It wasn’t as serious as DOA 3 but it was trying to be fun and lighter in tone and i think it succeeded. You also didn’t talk about the online mode which was a huge feature.

Why are you guys still watching this lol it's so bad

smt 3 nocturne is now been 21 years

Bro gave me chills at the end there.. 🥹

RIP Tango Gameworks, Screw you, Microsoft.

1:06:25 I remember the reason they gave us for not renewing Mai in DoA5 was : "She's in 5! You should buy that game!" PS: This is the some reason I did not bought this game on Steam... I waited to long... Shame

Great work on this video. I totally relate to anything you've mentioned. Fingers crossed they'll make another main game.

I completely disagree with your assessment that it’s negative that all the games follow the same themes, they’re part of the same series, that’s how a series should work. Also, Xillia’s plot is anything but boring, nonetheless great video.

Namco usually give up on their racing franchises easily, and that's a big set back, they should try to make them better, R: racing Evo, should have pt2 and be more realistic, R.R unbound, yes i like it but it needs to keep going with better improvement, and finally the world favorite The Ridge Racer series should never died, we all love it, just as how the a keeping Tekken alive, they need to keep Ridge Racer and Soul Calibur alive too, but with improvement as time goes,

I knew about it even before it came out because I have game magazines with it since its early development.

Hey, this is pretty good

This is going to blow up one day I can just feel it

what the fuck is even happening

There's so many layers of knowledge to understand this video wtf

This.... is the end of Vergil's nightmares.

Team Ninja really go out of their way to fumble DOA6 for no reason.

I first played Xillia a few years ago and oh my, did I find it so boring. Boring plot, I only liked half of the cast (Alvin, Rowan, and Millia), boring fields even by modern Tales standards. The combat was good but overshadowed by Graces f, Veperia and X2, as I would go on to see. Almost put me to sleep a few times if I'm honest. I always saw people praising this game but I never really saw why. This vid gave me a taste of that, and I thank you for your work. Makes me want to give the game a replay with a fresh outlook.

This's excellent work mate. CZcams's absolutely rammed full of gaming videos - most are lazy, poorly researched and generally low rent, so it was refreshing to see a video of this quality. Sir, I doff my cap. Subbed.

tale xillia 2 and 1 need to be on steam.

I really loved this game, and played it a LOT. I might have to dig out my gamecube and play it some more.

For all its fault this was the first game I completed and I play it once every few months and everytime it gives me so much nostalgia I just love this game and everything that sucks about it!!!

I love DDS with all my heart and soul

DMC appreciation will always get a like

11 years huh..i guess we are close to our death clock ticking and games go to shit if only i can return back in time where games were good and the world was peaceful

Skanfunk goin stupid, god bless this vid.

I only discovered _Hi-Fi Rush_ a month ago and it's been a transformative experience. I can't remember the last time I fell so deeply in love with a game. I'm 40 and this made me feel like a teenager again. I work in a game studio (tools programmer) and have been ardently proselytizing _Hi-Fi Rush_ at the office. One of my colleagues (a level designer) was similarly moved, even stating that it re-ignited his passion for making games. It's unfortunate that _Hi-Fi Rush_ was overshadowed by other titles in 2023, but I hope that it will eventually get the recognition it deserves. In an age of bland bloated behemoths, _Hi-Fi Rush_ reminded us what a good game looks like.

Once it was pointed out to me that Heat was voiced my Crispin Freeman, all I can think of is Alucard from Hellsing
