This is a great video, alot of work was put in here! I hope more people see this

[@thisvthattv]

Thanks for watching, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

[@DragonKingX78]

Yeah, great video, would love for more people to find out and play these games.

[@raidou77]

thank you so much! hope this video become popular

[@DragonKingX78]

I love the DDS games, hope to get HD remasters for PS4, PS5, Switch, etc.

Straight up fantastic documentary! I love the smooth and natural transitions between the topics. Made it impossible to stop watching. I knew literally nothing about the development of the game, so it was great to hear so many details about it. Couldn't have been easy to get all that information for such an old title.
It's a big shame the games haven't received the attention they deserve. Same goes for your video, sadly. :( I hope your channel keeps growing though, because the production value of this documentary is outstanding.

[@DragonKingX78]

I agree, these games deserve better.

Just finished DDS 1 5 minutes ago. It’s such a blast, I’m ecstatic to watch this vid

The sequel is not even a sequel more like Part 2 as the game's plot is long that it couldn't fit on one disc PS2. While Quantum Devil Saga was written by Yu Godai and its on their perspective towards the game as their concepts were either change or cut on the story.

[@DragonKingX78]

Yeah, the second game is part 2 but has a good reason why you loose all your levels and skills.

[@mangaloveranix8412]

This game is pretty amazing! This game is similar to Persona 3 in terms of combat systems locked in the code of Persona 3.

while you have a beautiful speaking voice, as a non-native speaker, I would appreciate it if you talked a little slower. Your audience plays JRPGs that take more than 100 hours to complete - we won’t mind if the video ends up being a little longer.
