I do believe that the LoK series was responsible for the expansion of my vocabulary as a kid.
It was partially responsible for my knowledge of the English language
same here; and it made me understand and appreciate shakespeare a lot more some years later
Same here. :D
I utterly concur
Absolutely right.
WE NEED THIS GAME REMASTERED OR REBOOTED!!! imagine how beautiful it would look with current technology!!
"Shall I show you the same mercy you showed the rest of the circle then? You blithely murdered them to restore their pillars, yet your hand faltered when it came to the final sacrifice, what makes you exempt Kain? You're merely the last man standing. Why condemn me for simply carrying out what you hadn't the courage to do yourself?"
"Let's drop the moral posturing, shall we? We both know there's no altruism in this pursuit, your reckless indignation led you here, I counted on it! There's no shame in it Raziel, revenge is motivation enough, at least it's honest. Hate me, but do it honestly!"
This dialogue is way ahead of its time! I miss games like this!
Reasons Kain is the greatest vampire of all time.
1. He's well developed with a very long and interesting story.
2. He's complex. He can be considered a brave hearted hero one minute and a cold blooded villain the next.
3. He doesn't fucking sparkle!!!!!
#3
lol !!!!
Lol
The retcons are an unfortunate side effect of making time travel a central theme of the series. It tends to screw things up. Most of Kain's development was off camera since the series was never finished, which is an absolute tragedy in my opinion. However, we can speculate on that development based on how Kain was portrayed in each game.
In the Blood Omen games, Kain was indeed a petty and selfish man who cared only for his own gain. However, in the events of Soul Reaver, it is clear that in the centuries since his empire arose, Kain's moral compass had taken a drastic shift. His sole mission throughout Soul Reaver 1, 2, and Defiance was to restore the pillars and save Nosgoth.
Thank you! Fuck Twilight, Vae Victus!
And shut up, Ilyriandevil. You don't know what you're talking about. Hipsters like you are ruining this world.
As I come upon my 50th year on this world, it is clear to me that this was one of the greatest series ever created. I have played through the game countless times, I will always love it. Thanks for this video.
28:10
Raziel manages to turn even the narration of the opening of a door into a shakespearian tirade. That's cool.
The coin monologue is intense
I remember I used that coin bit for a school project...got my ass an A+
damn, worth it
A parasite's commentary.
@@theblackrosedaughter hell yeah! Haha!
I always use that line when deciding if I should get vanilla or chocolate ice cream, instead I go with the twist....
RIP Rene Auberjonois. Your prolific voice acting work will be appreciated for decades to come.
I am a 31 year old man whose currently watching this while High...god bless my childhood

💀👽💨Blunt roaches and lok, "always a good decision"💨👽💀
Nur Lowe im 18 watching this high as well miss playing this game at 7 years old and in 2 months from now I'll be 19
Same, just I'm 28.
I am 24 playing this game now and though I'm home with family for the holidays once I go back to my place I will be rewatching these cutscenes for a while while baked lol
holy shit me too
“I don’t think I have the stomach for it.”
Raziel I don’t think you have a stomach....
good point
Not to mention a lower........ Jaw
Good old PS2 days. What a great time it was. Legacy of Kain was ahead of it's time.
Wolf Hound ps1
@@pimmpinn21 soul reaver 2 is a ps2 game
Most current games pale in comparison though.
Raziel the "Champion of Free Will and Conquerer of False History." I love it.
I fucking love the dialogues and story of this game, it flows into your mind and heart like poetry
Every time the mail man comes by I’m always like “you’re reckless indignation led you here! Hate me but do it honestly!
He usually just smiles and moves on.
the writing and acting in the Soul Reaver games was so good
The gameplay on this particular game is horrible, the rest of the series is ok but I hate this game because of the incredibly bland gameplay. They really backtracked from the first one
Soo good indeed, they rarely make games storyline this good in todays era.
This was the first game that got me into meaning full script writing, I like using words that don't get used in everyday language
I know it's an old comment but...
I really loved the story and the visuals in this one, but I remember it was very linear compared to the first. Plus the camera in SR2 must burn in hell for all eternity and I think it got even worse in Defiance.
In the end I still think it's one of the best videogame saga ever, but it doesn't mean I didn't scream in rage and agony more than a few times.
If I were in charge of remaking it, I would definitely redesign and seek to improve the gameplay, fixing the camera. Raziel's past self and his brothers past selves could and should have been challenging boss battles.
of 18 years of gaming, i still haven't found one series with such an epic story.
And thank god they cancelled Dead sun, i'm so sick of companies milking franchises till there's nothing but a bone of a skeleton left.
+Reawer actually we desperately need a new game, but Dead Sun was a total disgrace : even the producers weren't the same, Amy was gone, some voice actors are dead, so the likelihood of a new game is really grim. Still, even just publishing the continuation of the story would be enough :P
+Antichrist2000 Actually, the developers of Dead Sun disliked the series. As for the Saradin (as the new vampires were called), they were desperate to keep banking on Raziel's popularity as a character.
The sad part is there are some good ideas in Dead Sun, at least three proper LoK tales they could have told...But they disregarded any of the continuity. Even the vampires being soul eaters could have worked within continuity. As-is, it was a cheap rehash of Raziel.
wtf do you mean about milking franchises? It's been more than 10 years since we haven't got a new LOK game and you're saying stupid shit like that? Damn stop throwing shit. The idea of Dead Sun was good, but as Xanatos said, it was just a recycling of Raziel. We need the LOK universe alive again with a great story as it's been since the 90's. I don't give a fuck if they "milk" the franchise, fine by me! Hey, I fucking love the Halo Universe, and as long as I have another 10 or 15 years of story and its universe keeps growing, I'm good to go :)
Serv Asat
Actually, LoK was going into the early 2000s. And a fair bit of new Dead Sun material's been uncovered since my last comment here. Seems they actually had some really great gameplay and world concepts but Square Enix was all "DISTANCE FROM CONTINUITY, MORE HAND-HOLDING TUTORIALS, MAKE IT A GAME FOR IDIOTS!"...All of that on top of they gave it to a small, under-budgeted studio to boot. No wonder it failed.
As for "milking", there's really so much material in the LoK world, you'd get another decade of games out of it before it became 'milking'. And a bunch of fans in a Facebook group (remains of Nosgoth's playerbase) had a really solid idea to expand the story potential: Since Kain spends so much time in the Chronoplast, just sifting through possible timelines, we could even get stories that spin off in wild new directions without breaking continuity. Just frame them as 'possibilities' Kain is viewing in the time chamber.
The concept originated from talks of how to fit Dead Sun into proper continuity: The general consensus was that Dead Sun largely works as a what-if moment for the second paradox when Raziel has a chance to kill Kain in SR2 but chooses not to, exercising his first 'free will'. Basically, Dead Sun is what *would* have happened had he gone ahead and killed Kain.
Even the Saradin (Dead Sun's soul-eating new vampires) could have fit into a decent tale. Say Kain raises a new bunch of vampires but gets cast away someplace, then the Elder God swoops in and sways his new kids into cult status like Janos Audron's people used to be. Gives a better context for why they'd be soul-reaving if they were serving the Elder.
Sadly, for the foreseeable future, unless we spread awareness of the series far and wide, we only have fan projects to look forward to - though admittedly, all very good ones.
***** What about it?
An Absolute master piece. English is not my first language, but one of the main reason why i can speak and write English well in my young age(21) now is because of this game series. Truly fascinating story line and way ahead for its time. This game will always be one of my most favorite games ever.
Everything about this is just pure class; the gameplay, graphics, voice acting, Character roles, diversity , and of course the story line.
I know this will probably never happen, but i really wish they continue from 'Defiance' keeping the original theme and 'feel' of this forgotten gem.
Amy Hening needs to write a book series about this story then have Michael Bell narrate the audiobook
This is honestly the best idea for the franchise I have heard. Dual narration between Simon Templeman and Michael Bell would work so well, they could even do the other characters because they worked with Tony, Paul and Rene, Richard Doyle joining in would be amazing.
Zion totally forgot about this comment, but as an addict of good books and audiobooks that would be a dream come true. As long as it’s Amy Hening writing it, and she doesn’t censor herself for modern times.
@@zion6680 Unfortunately Tony and Paul, and René are no longer with us. :c
This is like a Shakespearean play. The dialogue is intoxicating because I can't stop listening.
MY. F*****G. GOD
I played these games when i was very young and didn't know much english. I would read up the story but was confused in many points. But now that I re-watch this it's the best story for a game i have ever seen. Thanks for making this video, it revived my love for the series.
I had to replay them after I turned 20-21 as well lol. I played the original BO and soul reaver in middle school and I have to admit, the dialog is a bit too much for really young people.
eladbrit
I did the same thing. I'm still surprised at how much went over my head.
I remember just playing them and having fun killing stuff not knowing what was going on, its just even better now
***** Hahaha! Yeah same here! It may be a video game but dialogue in this game have some really high level vocabulary.
eladbrit Baffles me that the lead writer went onto write the Uncharted games.
That's like Tolkein going off to write Twilight.
The dialogue in this game is AWESOME!!! Well done developers...
Thanks man.. Well she did it superbly!!!
Man the dialogue especially in the ending and how all played out was ultimately.. chilling.
Kain and Raziel are one of the best voice actors I´ve ever heard¡ Damn¡¡ they are reaally good¡¡
razeal more so. Its a shame that kain's voice actor was the only one that got a somewhat big break.
I know i love their voices!!! So epic and poetic at the same time!
Domino R Raziel's actor was one of the parents on Rugrats
I'm so glad I watched these cinematics again. It's only now that I've noticed something odd about the elder god, like the strange pillars that blends with the tentacles. It was the pillars of Nosgoth after all, I didn't realized that it stretched all the way down into the abyss and looked like it was pinning down the giant squid. Everything's starting to make sense now. Such a great story... wow.
1:25:09 Given what we find out in Defiance, I find rather interesting that this particular analysis comes from Janos. "They don't understand what they are doing. They are simply unenlightened and vulnerable to manipulation." As are we all, Janos. As are we all.
After so many years I still keep coming back to this series every know and then.
2020 anybody?
The musics, the way it looks,the cutscenes, the story everything is professional and Simon Templeman's voice perfect for Kain reflects his wisdom. SR series to me you always be the one.
The Soul Reaver series had some of the best story telling of any game I've seen. I've had to watch the cutscenes several times to get the whole picture. My favorite part of all this was that Raziel was always such a wise-ass. 31:29 "And if I tell Mobius that he's worshiping a giant squid, do you think his faith will falter?" 1:43:23 You're a righteous fiend aren't you? "Apparently I am" LOL
And how he delivered "Apparently I am" with such a deadpan expression had never not been funny to me. He looks so unimpressed with his past self.
I listen to this like an audio book
When games had a well written story, the Voice Actors were passionate and the later games did not turn into not quip-filled parody of itself..... those were the days.
R.I.P. Tony Jay. The Voice of God was called back to the Heavens....
This game needs a 2019 come back
Hail! to all my LOK Brethren. Thank you for keeping the Legacy alive.
13:37 "Don't forget it was Kain who led you here, not I" even though at the beginning he says "I've snatched you out of the time-stream and brought you here to me".
I guess Raziel was not paying attention
I love that a keen listener can see through Moebius's lies from listening alone. And how he goes through every single way of manipulation. He's being benevolent, aggressive, playing victim, tryin' to make Raziel angry to strengthen his resolve. Listening to Moebius is truly awesome.
Well Raziel was meant to appear behind Kain but Moebius switched his appearance location i presume.
21:30 Kain throwing out that classic "AND IF ALL YOUR FRIENDS JUMPED OFF A CLIFF WOULD YOU?" argument.
My love for this series and its lore is as big as Moebiu's hands.
"You're a righteous fiend, aren't you?"
"Apparently, I am...."
Got chills when I played the game and I heard this line! One of my favourite series.
that ending hit me like.. wow. great story. anyway, Raziel sure likes to talk alot in a poetic manner.
One of the few series that desperately needs a remake
I agree it needs a fresh face and modernized gameplay. I'm thinking something like the Arkham games. Nice looking with crazy fun combat. I don't understand why so many fans are against a remake? There have been remakes that have done very very well. Besides, with a series as beloved as LoK, the team that takes up the torch will know that they have to deliver. The hardest part IMO would be finding voice actors that match up.
Honestly a remake could have a lot of pluses. They could still use the old voice acting and I wouldn't care one bit(I'd probably actually prefer it unless they get the originals, or similar voice actors, which I think the Dead Sun content out there had someone who sounded similar to Raziel in it somewhere). Imagine the fluidity of Dead Sun's spectral realm changing, a lot better camera action, better combat. Soul Reaver 1's gameplay was actually pretty terrible tbh(you could try for 15 seconds trying to get through walls in the spectral realm and the combat was wasn't immersive at all, not to mention was pretty terrible). Soul Reaver 2 got better but still had some problems of it's own and could still be improved. I can barely bring myself to play Blood Omen, Blood Omen 2 could use some touching up and I haven't played Defiance in a while but while I consider it the most perfect of the LoK series, even it I'm sure could use some touch-ups.
I know I'm late to the party but...
Maybe it's because I played all the games on the PC, but I distinctly remember that the controls were ok in SR1 while the camera in SR2 and expecially in Defiance was goddamn awful. One time I had to jump from an earth platform to another one and the camera was BELOW the platform!
I'm curious, anybody remember that?
Why not continue the story overall? There were many questions unanswered in the end of Defiance. Same base mechanics, same characters, same voice actors if possible (major part of LoK games) and new graphics,controls etc. Square Enix doesn't care because they know it won't sell well. Gaming industry is all about profit nowadays, they don't care about actually making great games. And lets face it, LoK games have a very small fanbase, even back then, we were very few to truly apreciate the series
Just give it epic graphics and Sekiro gameplay. The rest is epic. Raziel is always going to be Michael Bell and Kain is asimon Templeton.
It seemed he (Raziel) was so blinded by his false sense of valor and honor as a Sarafan Priest, he didn't realize that the priests were no different than the vampires they hunted. The so called bloodlust was pretty much the same.
True, but I think what's worse is that, even as a human, Moebius was manipulating Raziel.
Raziel thought that the Sarafan were fighting against bloodthirsty beasts... he didnt know that the vampires in this time were mere humanoids seeking blood for life... Yes he was blind by that sense you speak.
This is Kain's ironic joke. He turned the "vampires" who hunted down the physical vampires into vampire lords.
Kain:
Can you grasp the absurd beauty of the paradox? We are the same - Sarafan and vampire. With our holy wars... our obsession with Nosgoth’s domination... Who better to serve me than those whose passion transcends all notions of good and evil?
Raziel:
I will not applaud your clever blasphemy. The Sarafan were saviors, defending Nosgoth from the corruption that we represent. My eyes are opened, Kain - I find no nobility in the unlife you rudely forced on my unwilling corpse.
Kain:
You may have uncovered your past, but you know *nothing* of it. You think the Sarafan were noble? Altruistic? [ *heh heh heh heh* ] Don't be simple, their agenda was the same as ours.
I think each in turn, reflected the hunger and want of their patron, the Elder God.
First the god-ridden and righteous Vampire race, in their war witht he Hylden, then, when Vampires, afflicted with bloodlust and immortaility and no longer of use to the Elder God, are cast aside, along comes humanity, the next willing food source that the Elder God molds into fanatical servents of his insatiable desire for souls.
Both are reflections of one another, because of the being they follow. Neither are their own masters. Ironically, in many ways, it's the demonic and twisted Hylden, who are the wronged party. The ruin heaped upon both Vampire and human alike, merely feeds the Elder Gods hunger and desire for worship and control.
Kain: There is no shame in it Raziel revenge is motivation enough, at least it's honest. Hate me but do it honestly. 👏
I feel this game series is a big tribute to thr shakesperean language and i feel that shakespeare could make a tragedy out of this if he were alive
TheHatedHater 👌
R.I.P. Paul Lukather
One of the best comments... ;'(
Paul Look-at-her. That is how it always sounded in my mind when i saw the credits.
Yup. Rip.
This is so much better than nowadays T.V., how nostalgic, thanks for uploading this!!
Jesús García Thanks man, everything for this Legacy. Please subscribe and make The Legacy more strong, maybe one day we will continue with a new story.
I shall hope for that day is not far away :( I wanted to see a complete end to this awesome story before I die....
A game that has no loading times and has the best animation on PS1 is a case study for both Bethesda and Bioware on 2018.
I can't believe Mobius spilled the beans just Raziel didn't see it
" Your simply Kain's Servant "
" I do not serve Kain"
In defiance that's exactly what Raziel has to do in the very end
Great ending edit with the music
Thanks ma man
No one will ever read this but those circles at 37.47 are not concentric. Everything was going so well!
It's really screwed up but also kind of genius on Mobius and Elder Gods part. How do you stop a creature that is super strong and powerful. Has an indestructible soul and can always come back to life? You dont kill him. you dont have too. You just come up with a way, a trap to contain that creature. Even better, make it the creature that is destined to save your worst enemy. Using manipulation and time travel they subvert the destiny of the the most powerful being in nosgoth the one who is destined to be Kains greatest ally and right hand and instead make him Kains assassin then create a time loop to ensure he is ALWAYS imprisoned and cannot escape this altered fate. Its friggin evil and brilliant
EmblemLord They need more eloquent games like this nowadays!
I just caught that after watching this!!! Never to escape his terrible destiny!! Amazing!
He was trapped, but in the end he realized Kain wasn't. Yes, he became the soul reaver, but in the end he did it by his own choice, on his own terms.
The choice to save Nosgoth was never Kain's to make; it was Raziel's all along. He was the coin, and he chose to land on his edge.
The LOK series deserves a remake, it has one of the best storylines and narrations in videogames
Soul Reaver had the best dialogue. Hands down.
Poor William.
RadiantSilvergun3 definitely one of the best lines in that scene
One of the best lines in the three games
In another video, someone mentioned that if you pause the video at anytime, you will get an awesome screencap worthy of being a painting. Very few timestamps look random, but the majority of it does prove the cinematography of this game execptionally well. Everything looks so good.
Best fucking story ever. Been so long since such a good story has come along.
i loved this game as a kid. still good. i love the storytelling method they use.
1:43:23 You're a righteous fiend aren't you? "Apparently I am" LOL
Xx0Mystic0xX self criticism? Raziel is awesome
Gives a whole new meaning to talking to yourself.
Human Raziel looks kinda gay but all together this is the best siries ever made and i can even say that its way better than that crap named fortnite
It’s 2019 now. Every year i watch or play this series. Sometimes, more often than not it’s more than once. It was my first PlayStation 2 game when sequel launched. Since and forever more I’ll continue doing this until I my death.
From Wikipedia's article on The Legacy of Kain: "In October 2015, Crystal Dynamics' senior designer, Michael Brinker, revealed there was "a 50/50 chance" of a Legacy of Kain 6 single player game coming out during the Xbox One/PlayStation 4 generation." Spread the news, put pressure on the game developers, because there might still be hope.
Such a great series and great dialogue. By far the best in any game or series I've ever played and certainly accounted among my favorites. I did notice some interesting things in this one:
35:12 That is one happy frog!
56:27 It appears that Ezio was a Mobius fan as evidenced by the memorial statue.
1:10:10 "I don't think I have the stomach for it." BA DUM TISH!!
1:25:27 "I don't like that word. Smells of martydom." An emotionally filled and perfectly delivered line.
Thank you much for such an excellent compilation!
I think Vagrant Story would be on par with this if it had voice acting.
i dont understand why i cant get my friends to like the legacy of kain seirs its so good dam
mikehoff890 Get new friends! Problem solved! LoK series is undeniably epic!!
Some people are to small-minded to appreciate art :/
welll... 'least you have friends :/
here are lots of potential new friends for you to choose :D
We all know the story is one of the best in all of the videogame medium, but I got to say... the graphics aged well. I thought they were absolutely mindboggling at the time, since this was my first PS2 game, but it still looks gorgeous. Especially Raziel looks incredible. Better than he does in Defiance.
I always liked Soul Reaver's story telling.
They really dont make them like the used to! :(
they didn't had to spend so much time on eyecandy graphics. They had more time to focus on story. Less money needed to make a game. Industry was much younger.
Nowadays there's too many big companies that outshine any other small company. And they are too greedy... DLC, multiplayer only, money for vanity items, expansion packs... money drives the world. A simple game like soul reaver 2 does not make tons of money. And that's why companies will not make games like soul reaver 2... just no money in it by being honest.
The best story based game series ever. They really don't make them like they used to. Thank you kind person for this extraordinary movie sequence. Brings back many great memories. No argument that the Legacy of Kain series is one of the greatest series of all time.
Risking sounding like a lok geek
"These blades now coiled in sinister embrace have inspired terror in the hearts of creatures far more durable than you, old man.
Bound together as they are, I can only imagine what they could do to your soul’s fragile shell"
this phrase alone was worth the game price lol.
How i hated mobius And at the end how i pity him
Thanks for the upload! God, I loved this game as a kid. Amazing storytelling.
dammit i want this serie's revived
Leon
!Me too!
What I always loved about the Soul Reaver series and especially about the titles with Raziel as main was how witty and eloquent he was and how he elaborated his thoughts as flowery as possible. It gave him so much gravitas and fit an ancient aristocrat so well. They don't write games this well these days...
1:24:00
" i sit here beyond their reach" - shows the path raziel opened to get there
Raziel "Yeah about that..."
oh boy...
This is where i say huge wings are just useless decor
Bloody hell, I miss storytelling and voice acting this brilliant and genuine in games, just wicked.
This is the best game on any format ever!! Story is excellent. The voice actors perfect and gameplay phenomenal! Now we need the movie?! Keep the story exactly and get good casting for characters. It could be the best vampiric movie ever!
Raziel: I set my own fate
Everyone else: haha lol
I'm not sure if Amy Hennig was involved in the sequel of Soul Reaver but she definately set a high bar of writing with this game.
I love the dialogue and story, I love how both of our antiheroes are blinded by what drove them to be the heroes in the first place until Kain realizes how effed things were in the end.
she was involved in soul reaver 2... she is a mastermind... a genius woman...
May I add my two cents to the discussion surrounding Janos's knowledge of raziel, Raziel nature, his soul eating and all that...
Raziel is the redeemer and destroyer. As is discovered in Defiance, Raziel is bound by at least two contradicting prophecies - one as a champion of vampires, two as a champion of the hylden. In Defiance, Raziel fullfills both prophecies, by becoming the instrument of balance and unlocking the cage of the Hylden. I am not sure, that the demons and the hylden are of the same stock. It is said that dark forces are allied against raziel and kain, that implies multiple foes although it could be just the Sarafan and the Hylden, it could also mean the Elder god for example who is on his own side and the demons could be servants of only EG or multiple sides or they could be the hylden themselves, though that doesn't seem to be the case, jduging from the murals.
His soul devouring power seems to come from the elder god, but his indestructibility is probably just due to prophecy, the elder god seeing as Raziel was the one unbound pebble in the pyramid sought to manipulate him, since he could not destroy him. It also seems, that Kain throwing him into the abyss was calculated from the beginning by Kain or it was part of the vampire prophecy, that Kain fulfilled in hopes of salvation.
The game's story fundamentally stands on one notion and that is that the flow of time, fate and history is at the same time ever changing but also immutable. And that in the end it does not really matter. It is the paradox of self fulfilling prophecy.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've learned so much just by analyzing this series over the last 3 years.
My grade school history teacher played this game & watched the cutscenes once, and said it truly machiavellian,
The most well written game I've ever seen. I wish more games would stimulate our minds as much as this series had done. Although one critique, there were several moments where Soul Reaver's main theme would have benefited the scene such as the monologue over Janos' death and the ending (of course played differently each time).
Thanks for this. This is my favorite game of all time, and it's sad they don't make games like this anymore.
I really love the opening of this game. Great voice acting with graphics that still hold up.
0:18 Oh, Raziel.. Still being pissed off like a rebellious teenager. What an emo lol
Soul Reaver the HBO series anyone?.... i'd dig it.
well in that case, it has to be a cartoon, not a midiocre live-action movie as Dragonball and The Last Airbender. More similar to that of Spawn, the animated series. Thus produced, the impact would be massive
@@TheRetroguitar castlevania did pretty good with his adaptation, legacy of kain series could be awesome if only is taken by someone who.actually likes it story
Not after what they did to the Witcher
I want a next gen remake of all of the legacy of kain games into one game...
Legacy of Blood Omen: Kain Reaver...
i have 3 years of game design school left; that is my dream project
Legacy of Reaver Blood: Kain Omen
DanSlab Kain of Reaver Omen: Blood Legacy
like an HD collection right?
No, a complete remake from scratch. HD remakes only change things like the textures and maybe add some small effects like dynamic shadows. I want this series to be essentially developed again from the ground up. They already have the music, voice acting, and writing done perfectly.
This game gives me a lot of nostalgia :)
wow one of my favorites that I never got a chance to finish..I hope it returns to the PS4 along with Tenchu Stealth Assassins
Wow. Absolutely amazing. Hope these guys make another game.
Moebius was such an ass. It was so sweet when he got killed by kain , and then had his soul devoured by Raziel ( in Lok defiance) , and he had no idea it was coming, lol.
+MrRizo23 Great villain and a good character non the less.
+Antichrist2000 Not quite. Kain is still bound by fate. The reason his survival is unpredicted remains unconfirmed but is simple enough:
Moebius is no longer the Time Guardian. When Kain beheads him in Blood Omen and restores the Pillar of Time, that returns the pillar's magic. When the Elder God revives Moebius at the Vampire Citadel (just after his original death in Blood Omen, because time travel, he has *ceased* to be the Guardian. He has no omniscience then, which is why his use is done and the Elder simply devours him.
Notice, every other time we meet Moebius is prior to the Blood Omen era, when he is yet to be purged by Kain. (The one exception is Moebius' "ghost" in SR2, which is only an illusion orchestrated from a pre-BO time period.)
***** You misunderstand. Moebius *is* the Time Guardian during Blood Omen. But then Kain kills him after their battle and restores Moebius' hourglass (the token of his Guardian magic) to the Pillar of Time. Right? Right.
So Moebius ceases to be the Time Guardian.
When revived at Defiance's end (just before Kain kills him again and Raziel reaves his soul), he is being revived *after his death in Blood Omen*. So he is no longer the Time Guardian at that point, and thus has no omniscience to see Kain's survival. While fledgling Kain is heading to the Pillars to confront Mortanius in Blood Omen, elder Kain is running Moebius through with the blood reaver in Defiance.
Now, Raziel's hand in the whole affair could have shrouded Kain's survival as well. Or Kain's awakening in the demon dimension if a Time Guardian's magic cannot see through dimensions. But these explanations, while possible, are superfluous. Moebius could not see Kain's survival in Defiance because he was not the Time Guardian anymore.
Antichrist2000 multiverse theory
Xanatos ah, I assumed Mobius jumped ahead in time to talk shit to Raziel, "and now, I have an execution to see to." Thus going back in time to watch vorador die, battle kain and lose.
I forgot how great this game was. Hope they remaster it some day
The ending still gives me chills with the profundity of the twist. It's so unfortunate that this series will never be concluded.
Thanks so much for this!
14:00 was one of those moments where Raziel could have changed everything. And Mobius knew it- god I wonder how the events of the game would have changed if they gave you a choice.
But that would completely undermine the theme of the game...
Not really. Battling fat was the theme of the game.
DarkKnightKaraco Remember the ending?
Of course I do. I Was simply making the point that this was a BIG moment- when things could have seriously changed, and simply didn't because of 'one' poor choice.
DarkKnightKaraco But so was the ending, things could have seriously changed, but they didn't. History abhors a paradox, and you can not undo fate.
Thank you very much for taking time to upload this. I really wanted to see the full story once more. ^_^
Very Shakespearean in story, monologues & dialogue.
Thanks for this, really nice to refresh the great story.
LOL 1:35:00 balrog says gandalfs line for the win.
Wow, what an ending. This is just such an amazing story
The voice acting and the English level on this game series is the best ever made ...by far!!!!
Mortanius/Lovecraftian Elder God voiced by the same person that may or may not BE Mortanius I can't remember is like the greatest villain of all time. Raziel and Kain are both such Magnificent Bastards. It is great seeing Raziel taking Kain to task for being arrogant, narrow-minded, self-important, and jealous when Raziel is, in his own way, all of those things himself. Legacy of Kain is the greatest Vampire time travel story of all time, and not just because it's the only one (that I know of)!
"Hate me, but do it HONESTLY." is one of the greatest lines ever written IN ANYTHING. In a series overflowing with awesome Shakespearian dialogue voiced by classically trained Shakespearian actors, this still stands out to me. The writing here is almost on the level of David Milch's Deadwood, just with rather a lot less swearing. Even the janky AF CG from the original game is brilliantly written, and not just the dialogue, even the fight scenes. In Malek v. Vorador round 1, Vorador vanishes and appears behind Malek to clout him with the pommel of his sword, in the rematch, Malek v. Vorador round 2, Vorador tries the same exact move and Malek anticipates it and backhands him in the face. This is good writing just as much as all of the high-minded dialogue.
Simon Templeman is a straight up king; Amy Hennig is a fucking QUEEN. GOD I wish I could sit down for her for an hour, or two, or five and interview her, pick her brain on the staggeringly impressive Magnum Opus that is the Legacy of Kain. (The Uncharted series is great too but it's aided by quantum leaps in video game technology made between it and AoK, but still it pales in comparison to this earnest work in the epic mode.
Thanks man, been wanting to see this for years! My french canadian self didn't understand everything back then, this even better than I remember!
It's a pleasure my friend. I always too want a vídeo like this, for the Legacy of this game.
1:28 ......
Raziel: " I found Sara fat Cake, how could you, Profane "
:D :D :D :D :D I am dying :D
I have to say this is really well written. This really makes me want to replay the Soul Reaver trilogy.
They really need to make a final game!
Thank you for this video
