Just warched this. answered every question i had. nice work man!

Subtitle (The highs and lows of FF7) no but fr great vid

nice video. as a trains veteran i approve this

For anyone wondering why the undeground/ruins music sounds the way it does; Mega Man Legends' soundtrack was composed by the same person who made the music for Resident Evil 1(not Directors Cut), 2, and Dino Crisis 1-2.

I love this game and it was my first JRPG since I was a kid. People seem to rememeber Legend of Dragoon but not this game and I'm sad about that.

Wonderful retrospective ❤ gotta love the sound design on those attacks! I remember crying a couple of times as a kid

Any sincere MegaMan Legends content is an instant like and sub for me! God bless!

I love it when we reached The Gold Saucer Barret was like "The planet's dying for this shit" my thoughts exactly when I see amusement parks and cruises around Im like the enivronment is being destroyed for this shit

I played it about two months ago, after not playing it since maybe 2006 or so (holy crap, typing that made me feel so old!) It holds up really well when (legally 😅) emulated on modern hardware, especially if you have a hotkey for fast-forward! All the battle and seru animations are awesome, but as an adult with limited time, I can't afford to be playing these old RPGs at original hardware speeds 😂

I'm about halfway into this game (after entering this incredible franchise with completing Trails from Zero), and I just love it. This overview is a great explanation! Gonna share this with anyone I try and get into the series, too. :D

Those Viguros in the west forest are the literal worst

Without even watching one second of the video: Agreed.

This is the only game that truly produces that feeling of nostalgia in me.

No, non lo abbiamo dimenticato. Fantastico gioco che ho amato tanto! Insieme a ff7 e LOD!

I'm honestly glad a game about an overrated racist "explorer" is gone forever.

The battle system frustratingly close to greatness. As a lifelong Fire Emblem fan it's so easy to see the one thing the game is missing is the ability to move characters to a desired space and attack in a single turn. Moves like flicker or hurricane are not allowed to be utilized fully as is. Good luck getting the enemies lined up for the line attacks! The game could be so much more rewarding if we were allowed to implement more detailed battle strategies by fully positioning character attacks. I just entered the last chapter of FC, and hope this gets fixed in future games.

This was my favorite PS1 jrpg along with Xenogears, Parasite Eve, and Legend of Dragoon.

Ehhhh, it really slow tho, SC tho is 20x better and made it worth tackling the trails series, but yeah there an better feeling about it once u beaten the other games - specially when the latter game really don't have much stakes if u know what I mean - but yeah, hoping to get my brother into the series and I hope replaying them now will change my views for them

FF7 Remake is the new action jRPG by Square Enix, directed by kingdom hearts director Tetsuya Nomura. i fixed your description. i hated the battle system. was my number 1 reason why i hated it.

As a person who has played Trails from Zero, seeing your username 'gnosis' gives me mild trauma

I was able to find this at a pawn shop for some price between $6 and $10 in high school. I play it every so often. I recently played it yet again 😊

brilliant

Playin FC right now and I’m just now starting chapter 2. Love the game so far! I started Cold Steel 1 at first but decided to stop and start at the beginning. I’m glad I did!

The High and the Low. The story of the Tower of Babel. When humans tried to build a structure to reach God in Heaven they suffered for it.

Great analysis and interpretation, thanks 🤙🏻

Super insightful video, well done

Nice short and sweet vid about Aria. I started reading it before bed and its really good for winding down. Its great to read something sweet after reading darker series like hokuto no ken and berserk.

This is probably my favorite RPG of all time even over Chrono Trigger. I normally do a playthrough of it every year. Really wishing we could get a remaster or even a new game in the franchise altogether.

There's these old puppet shows i can't get the names of, but i know they're real. One involves a man, a pink furry called kitty, and a small old man hand puppet. i think it's called paul's barn but i can't find anything about it. As for the second one was about a group of 4 small furry hand puppets and a 3d animated fairy, i think it was a Christian show and as for the name, i can't remember that at all. There was also a show about a classroom of 3d animated kids and a human teacher, there was also something called the blame game which they tell you not to play, but then they play it anyway as a game show and not the way they warn us of.

Legends is one of my all-time favorite video game series. The PS1 was stuffed totally full with bangers, and definitely has one of the greatest libraries of any console ever developed, and even with that, Legends stands near the top, owing to its' immense charm, poise, and effortless confidence in itself as a series of products; It knew exactly what it was, and executed it with total aplomb. I initially had zero interest in the 3DS, but the day that Capcom announced Legends 3, I went and bought one specifically and expressly for it. Capcom cancelling the title shortly after was a source of intense, bitter disappointment the likes of which I hadn't felt since Grandia was passed over for a North American Saturn release. To this day, it still annoys me that it never happened. I'm losing hope too. The cast has aged out of the VA profession, sadly, with one of them being unfortunately deceased. It's a damn shame, as a huge part of Legends' presentation was its' stellar dub. It matched the spirit and delivery of its' Japanese counterpart wonderfully, a rarity in the world of localizations. An interesting aside: The composer for Legends and Legends 2, Makoto Tomozawa, also worked on Resident Evil on the PS1. This is especially evident in the creepy ambient music in several of the sub-gates and ruins that you explore throughout the games.

Meanwhile Rebirth feels way too happy and not lonely at all, not to say that it's a bad remake but it has a different atmosphere when compared to the original. It's hard to explain to others why I feel like something is missing in Rebirth but it's exactly what you talk about in this video.

Very interesting indeed.

I think the developer of the shoot em up realized what Columbus really did once he "found" America and then cancelled it.

Fascinating stuff! I was familiar with Noah's Ark, but not the others. I just published a video where I found out about several more games that I believe are lost. It's interesting to me that I hear so much about preservation in general, but there are more "lost" games out there than I could ever have time to learn about. Drives me crazy to think about them just sitting on a disk somewhere...

More content like this please! It's intriguing to see. Would probably want #1 or #5 the most.

I just started with the franchise last week and am mostly done with Zeiss now. This video is amazing! So helpful as a newcomer. Very well organized and presented. I have been very impressed with the combat, like you say, strategic. I have wiped many fights but I always get them on the 2nd or third max retry and I’ve never had to reload a save! This is perfect difficulty, every encounter needs your attention but it’s never impossible, you don’t have to grind.

I blame the Deletionists, the enemies of the Archivists.

#5 is a hell of a concept

TIL Wild Gunman was an arcade game. Probably what is referenced in SAO: Gun Arc.

losing a strategy game for console is always sad. Underrpresented genre on there.

I really want to play the Noahs Ark game

Love how the music and background of your videos add a whole atmosphere. The topic of lost media is really interesting, it's bizarre to me that so much can be lost, specially with the active efforts by people online to keep it from happening. In the case of games that were never released, it makes me sad to think that a lot of time and work were put into something that now just drifts in the void. Great video as always!

unpopular opinion (?) if a game was not released it is not "lost". it was never there to be found in the first place. what is not "something" , obviusly cant be "found" ,so also cant be "lost"

Super interesting topic for a video, and important for games preservation that more people learn about these forgotten oddities. Hopefully some of these games can be found eventually, some times a copy of a seemingly lost game will pop up for sale online and someone dedicated enough will find a way to obtain it and upload its contents online. I remember maybe 10 years back when this very thing happened with Garage The Bad Dream Adventure, a game that was thought to be lost but nowadays is available online, easily accessible via Steam.

Which of these lost games are you most interested in playing?

Number 5 looks like it would have been really fun 😢

Love your work, keep it up

at 21:02 you mention that you don't have an opportunity to backout, but you actually do. When Roll asks if you want to retreat, you can take that moment to go back to Data, replenish your energy and ammo, save, and then go back to the froggy boss fight. Great video anyway!

This is one of the BEST PS1 RPG I have played. I hope it will be remastered soon.
