Hope you guys enjoy this one. Last Bible III was a huge surprise to me - it's a massive game, and genuinely a bittersweet conclusion to the trilogy. I know it's a long video, but I had a lot of fun doing this series. Gonna move on to highly requested games next - likely SMT 2 coming sooner rather than later.
Hello Marsh I love your content and I just want to say that if SMT 1 ever gets a film adaptation that I hope the MC's name is Marsh.
Good job on completing this crazy task. I'm sure you went through a ton making the videos. Thanks a bunch.
You're a good man, Marsh. I wouldn't take this journey with anyone else. Thanks for all your hard work, and have a great 2023.
I Never thought I'd watch a Megaten video and hear Bling-Bling Boy be mentioned...
Your talent is insane man, keep it up
Last Bible 3 being good is the most shocking plot twist in Megaten history.
When you think about it. Last Bible has a track record of being good at the finale, I guess that extends to the game franchise itself, heh.
@implord4197 So the last bible is the best bible
"Sorry kid, while you were sleeping your parents were killed by some random space laser" is some of the craziest moments I've seen on MegaTen
Meryl: "Hey go rough up that Rag guy"
Ciel: _sees nothing but red as he becomes imbued with the fury of Megaten protagonists past_
Ciel: "I am the reincarnation of heroes past, come to enact their grudge."
Rag: "El, right?"
Ciel: "No. This is for the gem farming, you son of a bitch!"
*Rag:* So you're here to get this rock back, eh?
*Ciel:* (equips several Magatama named Nakajima and Hideto)
*Rag:* W-Wait, that's illegal.
*Ciel:* (equips Hi-No-Kagutsuchi)
*Rag:* W-What are you doing!?!
*Ciel:* (Smirk status)
*Rag: WHY IS EVIL INCARNATE PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND!?!*
@@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69 Don't forget the Heaven Magatama
He almost beats him to death.
1:38:53 I love how you used YHVH's theme for Rag. Really shows how he's your personal Final Boss.
I’m so glad someone else noticed it
I just finished Apocalypse so that had me laughing hysterically as soon as I heard the first trumpet
Evil Incarnate. How fitting.
Yeah, you could actually save Roy in the following way:
You need to enter the village when there is a full moon on the 14th day. Go to the weapon shop, and speak to the one of the werewolves. After giving Mezuki and Gozuki the wine, Rudy re-joins the group. Outside the weapon shop, choose yes to Roy's question, and he will become a nakama (monster friend). After that, go thru the north gate, and go up the mountain.
Huh, so there are multiple ways to do it?
The captured elf girl passed me a letter through the bars of her cell, the guards asked me if she did, I boldly lied, they bought it. Got the captain's letter too, got to Roy's place on a full moon, he read both messages: but the elf's revealed the trick the solider had planned, so he ultimately made it out alive. You also get wine, but actually have to fight Mezuki and Gozuki to save Rudy.
Saving Roy is worth it, I kept him for a very long time actually. He must have been Level 30 by the time I disposed of him.
I'm sad Marsh didn't show it off, but Rudy is forced to work at the Weapon Shop while being held hostage... but since he's just a kid, he can't handle math yet, and sells things for very cheap (with a couple of funny comments from guards). You even get a freebie, IIRC.
"I guess Rag is afraid of sex"
Looool. That has to be one of best out of context lines in the marsh lore
I love how Rag is such a recurring MegaTen character that he managed to survive all the way till Nocturne of all games. I'm pretty sure he's somehow an ascended being like Stephen or the Minister considering that he's somehow been literally everywhere in the MegaTen multiverse.
Rag being an interuniversal being is fucking horrifying jesus christ
@@janaxelblomberg7768Don't forget the merchant demon in SMT5, he looks like an ascended Rag
@@jackmesrel4933 bro is rag on meth💀
@@jackmesrel4933he’s crackhead Rag
@@jackmesrel4933 And in SMT4 we got the Ashura-Kai shop owner that's just as much of an a-hole personality-wise. "Oh...a Hunter..." "Make sure you bring more Macca next time..."
2 hours and 30 minutes of finally seeing Marsh's mental health journey in Last Bible - getting my tea and popcorn
2:21:56 Holy fucking jumpscare, most terrifying thing Marsh has ever shown in the Megaten series
To be fair, considering Akemi's initial role as the villain protagonist of the original Megami Tensei, yes, his Kubrick stare can look pretty unnerving.
I got so hyped when I saw that
IKR, that ok i pull up on nakajima's face scared me a lot
about Jonathan's ice attack at 50:38 : in Japanese you can describe boring or corny jokes as being 寒い, which is the same adjective you would use to describe a cold chill. It's probably why you see characters shivering with a leaf blowing by in animes when something lame happens. It completely doesnt land in english though 💀🌨️
That actually helped a lot, thank you. I always just assumed it was because anime reasons, but the pun makes more sense.
Wow, that makes so much sense, thanks for opening my eyes up to that. It's funny cuz it's also kinda deadpan or crickets chirping, so even if you don't get the meaning, you get the feeling.
Well now Snowdrake makes a lot more sense
In Italian we have something similar since stupid unsensical jokes are referred as "freddure" which means roughly translates to "cold stuff" as in "undesired things".
So Jonathan... literally posted cringe as an attack???
No one was really expecting a story that begins with the child protagonist going to magic school and having fun dungeon excursions with his friends, to end with that same child being murdered and going to hell. This is what you might call a "Wild Ride".
Marsh: *posts 2+ hour video of obscure Shin Megami Tensei game*
Me: That’s some good shit.
49:07 For Roy to survive, you just have to talk to the elf on the jail cell before you leave. Also there's a fusion spell on the dragon's fangs
"They immediately accuse of us of murdering their children! Slow down, I might have a concussion or something, you cant do this to me!"
Marsh, you made my crappy night so much better with that line alone. The delivery is just perfect.
It just paints this mental picture of the protag stumbling out of the pod, bleeding from the forehead after being slammed headfirst into the metaphorical steering wheel and just stammering out a dazed "Ay wha Dah fuuUhUcK?"
"To the east is another big city, Thracia"
*war flashbacks*
Wyverns moment
War of 776?
Fatigue?
Inescapable execution chamber?
The high priest with 10 leadership stars?
1:39:01 I could FEEL the vengeful bloodlust rising slowly here. Playing "To Become God's Enemy" as the background for Rag's long, long, LONG overdue bossfight was glorious, and really the only fitting choice.
This really is the best game of all time.
This'll be buried in the sea of comments but seriously, thanks for everything you do with this channel and SMT as a whole, Marsh. i've been in a pretty shitty spot of life for longer than I'd like to admit, but your videos have genuinely reminded me why SMT as a whole is so special to me and why the series is so weird but at the same time unlike any other RPG series. You even helped push me into trying to make my own videos (unrelated to SMT, that is).
Whatever the case, these videos are god tier SMT content and I can't wait to see more in general. Even if it means I'm now tempted to play Last Bible myself and curse my health for it.
Hey man, hope things get better for ya.
I know how you feel, I too am loathe to admit how long my life has been in disarray. Well glad that I'm not the only one that finds some escape in these videos, we are truly blessed to have Marsh around, his output is one-of-a-kind. Hopefully things will starting looking up for us both, until then we at least have this SMT content to enjoy. Take care and best of luck to you my friend.
Same here friendo, hopefully we get things in order soon. Baby steps
My man Lich, I hope that things start to improve over the near future 💪
I hear you man, in the past year and a half I've gotten divorced, overdosed, and ended up having to temporarily live with my mother. Just a few short years prior I had a nice place in a great part of a big city. People were actually proud of me, now they're mostly just making sure I'm not dead yet.
There is something about these videos that makes me feel comfortable in a way I haven't in a very long time, perhaps not since my grandparents bought me the American version of Last Bible (Revelations: Demon Slayer) on vacation at a flea market when I was in middle school.
This is a late ass comment, but I know how much it can help to hear from even a random stranger that you're not alone in this nonsense. Hang in there homie we got this shit 💪😤
I really enjoyed your mom and dad being party members! It's a nice change of pace and it's really touching that Illia sticks with Glen through thick and thin! Them getting killed off screen was a bummer, but the turn the story takes not long after really brought it back around lol.
Beep Boop Trio forever!
LET'S GOOO Finally the epic conclusion to Marsh's psychological downfall
I have no words. Over 2 hours of Marshy goodness...just out of no where.
We are not worthy.
This truly is a Last Bible III moment
4 seconds more and we would have got a 2:22:22 Video Marsh
nothing i love more than watching a 2 hour video on one of the series related to my favorite occult themed RPGs
2 hours of marsh content is insane! Massive respect for taking the time to go through all this
It's really cool that you actually get to fight alongside your parents. Never seen that in a video game, for that I gotta try out this game at some point.
Dragon Quest V also has you fight alongside your dad but only briefly.
Gonna have to marathon them all together cause I really can't remember a single thing from the previous ones
It's badass that the evil Gaia Masters from LB1 join you in the end. I love it when games do stuff like that.
Marsh is nothing less than a god among men. He is the type of creator that every gaming fandom wish they had.
Ben Shoah showing off his new invention and exclaiming "Good news, everyone" remimds me so much of Futurama.
That raw line of "Ben Shoah really needs to eat my ass" not only made me chuckle but made me realize how hard that hit Marsh there
Putting in To Become God’s Enemy during the hunt for Ragg made me laugh so goddamn hard
Last Bible 3 is one of the best JRPG stories in general. Seriously one of the best travels I've had in a JRPG game, so many things happening that you just remain hooked until you see the cities in the Moon and realize that finally the age of peace is here.
The level of Metal Gear conspiracy in this fantasy JRPG is nearing Vagrant Story.
I love it.
When we needed him the most, he returned.
I'm so happy for you Marsh
You're one of the best MegaTen YTbers and now you even have a sponsors.
Hope that will make you upload videos so frequently.
Btw thanks for still letting me use your videos to continue making my own content, I really appreciate it!
Marsh has evolved so much since his early SMT if... days that he's playing SNES games in the correct 8:7 aspect ratio. I'm so proud of you.
It has come, the most awaited moment of 2023. Thank you for your awesome and kind work. This videos is going to be a banger.
This came out almost right after I got out of work. Can't wait to spend my night watching another certified Marsh banger.
That ending...dreams do come true. Glad some companies are still porting old/lost games
"Is he Doom Guy?" Took me completely by surprise and had me rolling 🤣 🤣
1:35:00 I did the negotiation mini game, you get a new beast for completing each wave. You get the 4 Archangels for passing the last 4. Levels 50-60, 100 percent worth doing. (with save states)
Last Bibble is a very underrated series. I hope more megaten fans get a chance to play these games especially the third game.
Truly, THIS is finally the Last Bible.
This is probably the most I've anticipated a CZcams video before and it was so worth the wait. Just quit my job the other day and I'll tell you your videos had been playing through one earbud basically every shift for months. Thanks for continuing to cover weird and fascinating Megami Tensei content and for being among my favorite content creators on CZcams. Can't wait for whatever's to come!
50:37 I can actually explain this. "Jonathan cracks a joke" being an ice attack is because in Japanese, a really bad joke can be described as being "cold".
Very late to watching this, but this honestly is the Earthbound of MegaTen, or what used to be Earthbound, anyways. Seriously, I mean that. It's an obscure, underrated game that was released for the SNES/SFC that has modern technology elements, charming characters, and someone who can create bombs for you cause they're that smart. There's even only a year of difference between their release dates in Japan and if you were to compare the US release date for Earthbound with the release date of Last Bible III; they came out the EXACT same year. Whereas Earthbound has firmly entered Chrono Trigger territory and is by no means obscure or underrated nowadays; the same can't be said for Last Bible III, and honestly MegaTen as a whole, aside from the big Persona in the room. This spiel aside, great video as always, I'm glad you shined a light on this series and I look forward to your reviews of something I was just as shocked to see recovered from the Japanese mobile flip phone hellscape.
The ending of this video is the biggest plot twist I have ever heard of in my entire life.
Wanna hear a secret? I watch this video every month. JUST for the BLING BLING BOY joke. 😂
I woke up my brother and shot soda outta my nose the first time i heard it.
Thank you marsh ❤
im glad that joke paid off
If this game is as surprisingly amazing as its soundtrack, I feel like I'm in for a real treat with this one. Hometown, Sodom and Devil Forest are suuuuuch under-rated epic gems!
Thank you for all the effort you put on your videos Marsh
A new Marsh vid? And it’s over two hours long?! Truly this is the best of days
Glad you managed to bring this video out. I heard there was a fair bit of techincal issues involved. Thankfully you are a reviewer that is built different and you pulled through. Glad that you enjoyed making this series despite some of the not good parts of it that plagued it at times. Hope to see more from you in the future, both from games in the SMT series and games that aren't like the Peret em Heru one. Now go take a nice break. You've more than earned it.
Ending Nakajima got me so hype.
Five seconds. Wow. Never caught a video this early.
I arrived 18 seconds after upload.
@@Barquevious_Jackson Sorry, don't mean to brag. Just surprised.
Damn this’s been a while in the making, so nice to see someone so dedicated to serving us
I stopped this video at the end of the airship invading town and started playing it. It is REALLY fun. It is pretty easy, but really addictive, and I love how powerful you feel in it so quickly, in a totally natural way. I look forward to finishing the video when I complete the game.
I have no better words to express my enjoyment watching the whole series and hell the amount of throwbacks, design choices, and of course, your delivery was the icing on the cake as aways! I am really excited with the news and that last tip got me more hyped up than ever!!!! Keep up the amazing work, you rock Marsh!
I know i’m old as shit now because I had to look up who bling bling boy was. Great vid as always Marsh, youre truly the GOAT of youtube as far as im concerned
So you are telling me that in those other Last Bible games Nakajima comes back? That’s great! From all the games you made videos on, he is my favorite character, with craziest stuff happening to him all the time. Will be good to see him again, especially if you also add your famous intro from other MegaTen games about 8th floor and Minotaur and such. Oh, last but not least, great video!
between yeager and ymir village part of me wants to ask Hajime Isayama if hes played this
"The pacing skyrockets"
I'm not sure if the escape pod counts as a rocket, but eh, close enough
Finally, the ending to this absolute banger.
Edit: Oh god, oh no, there is more to come. I hope Marsh will live through this.
Ben shoa's motivations reminds me of emet selch and the ascians in ff14.
Only you could make me emotional and nostalgic for a series of games i never played,thank you so much Marsh
binge watched all the last bible series to get to this point. already know it’s gonna be a fat W
Last Bible 3 being a banger is a surprise. I can see this game getting a lot more love in the future thanks to videos like this.
And it looks like you'll never escape Daedalus Tower Marsh...
My favorite part of your videos is it's kinda like a walkthrough and I can play along. It really is a blast, thanks. Always looking forward to the next video
That was so worth it.
I know SMT2 might be the next video in the making, but I'm genuinely looking forward to see you covering the mobile Last Bible trilogy if it ever get translated.
Heck. Knowing you, you would just play them as it is and borrow a translated script from some obscure forum from the 2000s.
It took me awhile to get to this video because I wanted to marathon the trilogy but the first two were so devoid of story it took me awhile to get around to it. Once I finally got to watching this one I stopped after the Invasion and started the game myself, absolutely fucking loved it, what an experience, especially the music. The parts that stuck out to me the most was that and the clear focus on story and narrative and the 3rd person was such a plus after playing SMT 1/2/If. This channel really comes through with some rare gems on top of the awesome videos, shoutout to Marsh!
48:55 its not too obvious id say but to save roy you gotta talk to the elf in her cell after rudy gets taken hostage
she’ll give you a second letter warning you about the moon phase swap thing, which he reads after the letter from the captain
doing this gets you an admittedly funny scene where the wolves jump the middle first before they can use the device while you get mezuki and gozuki hammered on wine
after all this he joins you as a pretty decent demon
1:06:16 the bob shit gets worse cause some npc in gottland mentioned that Meena is pregnant so hes also a deadbeat dad now too
Man, here I thought that the extra time was because this was a painful experience on par with the worst versions of the first two and you needed to take breaks to cry throughout, but hot damn, 2 1/2 hours on this one game!? Thank you, Marsh, both for your hard work and for brightening up the weekend with this.
It's always a good day when marsh drops a video ❤️ 🙋🏻♀️
My favorite CZcamsr playing a game I was obsessed with trying to play since 2010 thank you Marsh
Been waiting for this everyday since announcement, played this game 5 times, and its great to find out things I missed (like changing Mochwa's magic and Alon building stuff in the middle of battle, didn't know that lol).
Also some things because I am a nerd over this game:
I always found that my MC magic sucked, even when dedicating stats to wisdom and giving the moves mana so I really focused on STR Vitality (defense) and speed. I have no idea what luck does. Fight by yourself for as long as you can as possible, a little grinding goes a VERY long way in this game and you don't get alone time often. (ofc do not fight alone in encounters where its just enemy spam)
Rudy is a badass with his chant spells. Keep him alive, you won't regret it.
23:56: come to Dragon's Fang around here/ after the school arc, if you talk to one of the old men at the left corner they will send you on a fetch quest, do it and you get the fusion spell so you don't have to depend on them.
46:15 You can recruit Roy if you get the letter from the elf prisoner first before leaving. I always did this so I never had to fight anyone here. also there should be a lunar full somewhere in that base so you don't have to walk around before going into Roy's village.
Roy can be fused with other demons (unlike some recruitable which render them dead weights)
52:04 you can get a strong sword here called the RP Sword by talking to a girl at the bottom of town and winning rock paper scissors. This sword can confuse petrify or insta kill enemies randomly. You have to be about a level ahead of enemies to get full use and the petrify and insta kill simply do not work on bosses.
1:04:46 : A small reminder you need to talk to that kid twice, easy to forget that.
Also Meena kinda nabbed Bob lol.
1:07:32: if you looked behind the Pitthecan Boss here you just get the STRONGEST sword in the game, the Beast Soul Sword. You can sacrifice beasts into it and the sword will buff up your attack to as high as you want.
1:16:59 : I invest in rings around this time, the last gear slot can render enemy spells useless. You can get those in shops. I didn't know the first match Feys paniked or put you to sleep... they never did this that or they kept missing. there is like certain patterns of attack to just exploit the AI of the other teams. Some matches you wail on the healers, some you wail on the main guy. Its either one of those and they just get stuck doing something sub optimal and end up being jokes. For the last match, wail on Morgan.
1:24:48: didn't know Alon could give you the Lung. I would get it from the shark village which is on the way so you don't have to backtrack.
1:25:53: A very funny thing about Banipal, what made him scary lore wise is his undeath and his immunity to magic. However, this fight shows that 1. No one bothered to kill him as a slime or trap him in a bottle. 2. as the MC who is bad at magic and had to be scared of the Souleater, no one thought about simply physically beating him to death and anyone who did didn't double tap him. It also doesn't help that Glen just decks him out later like it was nothing, so it really wasn't just you being the MC, he was really that weak. IDK I find this funny as hell.
1:34:38: I love that this mini game is possible by how good the negotiation mechanic is but its still flat out random so you just might have your savestate handy,.you can really fill your demon slots like this with over leveled fuseable demons because they will give you a good demon after a set of 10.
As for Death valley, at this point in the game, Glen IS there but he is training in the 100 beasts trial. I can not stress this enough, take the trial at 1:41:48 when you come back the second time. 100 beasts, sets of 10, a level up each beat set. Sadly you can't do this in one go, its way too hard first shot and you will be stopped at set 5 or so because the boss will pull some bs.
1:47:37 : I found this too. pure accident. Also I should tell people this when it comes to bugs, when MC hits level ~45, he gets RUDY'S spells. (Edit: You much reach this level DURING the trial of 100 beasts to get this bug) This is much more a help for him. Sadly you lose tell teleport spell forever but you can get the Combine spell back at Dragon's peak
1:52:30: this is my favorite part of the game too. I have no idea of the masks and when you loop the room there is different masks. idk what that is
2:03:14: best song in the game only used there. A shame.
2:06:26 : What I like about the whole story here is that Alek started building his army and fighting thru hell, when Ben-Soah died, he straight up admits that he put in so much work building the army that it would be a waste to stop
2:13:30 I fuse those 2 away in my 4th playthrough, you get access to top class demons, also recuiting demons with Tetrakarn is VERY valuable. with that and inheritance from fusing you can cheese the final boss in the 2nd stage due to having like 3-4 demons with the reflect spell. really he does become a joke.
I am glad to see you review these!
Going to Dragon's Fangs also nets you an early appearance of Glenn way before he ever becomes relevant to the plot; if you take a different turn away from where you're supposed to reach the boss, he'll be tucked away in a corner looking at the horizon. It's neat.
You can also cheese the final boss by spamming Prism 4 with Mochowa since Gilgurk is extremely vulnerable to it, and due to its stats and the way confusion works, it'll always recover from it before you get to act and thus give you a free turn, giving you an opportunity to cast it again. 9 times out of 10, it'll hit. You can quite literally stunlock it.
Just found your channel yesterday, and just started 3ds modding a few months ago. Got into SMT as a whole as well as all things atlas this last winter when I bought SMT V. Your last bible I and II vids along with this vid have convinced me to suffer through I and II to enjoy III cheers! Your content's funny too, love it
I was very hyped for this video. I played LB3 in July of 2022 and was gobsmacked. Truly one of the most hidden of hidden gems.
How is every single video you post a masterpiece? I can't think of anything wrong with any of them. Every single thing you post just OOZES quality, and I'm so glad you're bringing these more obscure games to light. Keep up the amazing work!
These kids must be saints or something, their families in ruin, they lost their friends, the people hate them, one got killed and send to the underworld yet they still positive enough to have a strong friendship with each other and still want to save the world after what happen to them
It's actually wild how much Last Bible 3 has going for it. Compared to the others in the series, like, this shit is an actual JRPG and a half.
Thanks for all the work you put into these videos, Marsh. Genuinely, the quality of your long-form showcases through all of these underappreciated gems, actual trash and everything in between have been a joy every time you put up something new.
When the fuck is Rondé though
Now to binge wacth all 3 videos back-to-back-to-back.
The King Is Back!!!!!
Whoah… was not expecting an experience like that. I agree with Marsh: if this game had been localized, it’d be part of the same conversation as Earthbound, Final Fantasy VI, and Phantasy Star IV.
Boy, what a game... And what a cliffhanger of what's going to come in the future.
Played the game myself after the first few minutes of this, came back and watched the rest now! I had a ton of fun with it, and it was so much more in-depth and well thought out than I expected. The plot felt like it was really start-stop at times and some threads ended way too early, but it's great.
Notably for the last boss, Mochowa can stunlock him with status prisms; he doesn't seem to have any resistance to them, and since he goes first she can always reapply it right as it wears off.
There's something so oddly familiar about this game, it's so apparent that it was made by the same people who made the Megaten games on Super Famicom not only due how similar the mechanics are between games but just how the battle sprites feel so similar to those of SMT1 or Kyūyaku Megami Tensei, but now with a much cozier and inviting aesthetic. This on top of a more "traditional" fantasy JRPG presentation, with cutesy overhead chibi sprites who look like giants in the open overworld, very similar to Final Fantasy, Lufia and the like with its cinematic sequences. It really could have become one of the all-time classics of the era having released on the west (even if there would have been lots of censorship, which was the style at the time).
This was a long time coming, but MAN was this video worth the wait! This was another case like SMT 1, where I played the game ahead of Marsh's video so I could better appreciate his takes on it, and he seriously hit the nail on the head with just about everything. From combat, to music, to story, to the sheer amount of content and side stuff in the game, Last Bible 3 excels in almost every department. The only thing I can really knock the game for is that it (and this is going to sound very stupid) doesn't really feel like a Megaten game? Like ok, you have your Megaten staples like the demons, fusion, and negotiation. But those mechanics take much more of a backseat in this game imo, even compared to the other mainline Last Bible titles. About 20 hours in, I genuinely forgot that I was playing a Megami Tensei game solely because of how different it feels. I dunno, maybe I wouldn't feel that way if I actually finished the other Last Bible games instead of giving up partway through. But that's really my only criticism with the game. I'd say that Last Bible 3 is one of the best RPGs on the Super Famicom, and I say that knowing that shit like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy exist. Now, is this game better than those ones? Realistically no. But I DO think that it can contend with them in a lot of areas, and I'm glad that I played it. Thank you Marsh for introducing me to such an odd, fun little gem, and for giving it the proper inspection deserves. You honestly deserve way more credit for what you do.
Also, yeah. That Rag fight was the most cathartic thing to ever exist in a video game.
Watched this in 2 days. Incredible work. Thank you so much for these videos. In a dream world i would play every jrpg. In the real world I just find it amazing that I can get this fleshed out of an experience in a couple hours without doing anything but watching. Doin YHVH's work out here.
The Last Bible trilogy is an insane ride from beginning to end, and I am so glad that I found your channel so long ago, that way I could be here to see the whole thing play out!
Babe, it's time for Marsh SMT: The Motion Picture
Holy... What a great video this was! It's well made, easy to follow, brilliantly paced, and your commentary is in point. I was sitting here basically the entire time watching it without pause it was that good.
Wooooo new upload!
Seriously dude, keep at it! You're pretty much the only dude I know who not only bothers PLAYING these, but giving in-depth videos of them for people who can't get themselves to make the same journey.
Thank you, Marsh. Video is rad. Getting feature-length films on old games from you is one of highlights of my day. I'll probably watch this several times over.
Man! this video was so fun to watch.
I wonder if Nordia is supposed to be Nortia, the Etruscan goddess of fate and time?
Excellent video as always, and I hope you and your loved ones have a safe, happy, and healthy rest of 2023! :)
We made it everyone: Marsh's magnum opus.
What an amazing finale! Great job Marsh!!!
Holy crap marsh you're a amazing creator thanks so much for the time and effort you have put into these videos
