Look into cleaning the insides, it can make quite the difference, especially if you have had the console for awhile, there are some good guides on youtube.

@@DogginsFroggins yeah, already did, plus new thermal paste. Them launch PS4 pros are just loud.

Same. My PS4 was loud even after cleaning, meanwhile the PS5 is basically silent

@@DogginsFroggins really? I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info

Lol you bought 400-500 dollar ear plugs. Good Job.

I'm not gonna lie this is one game I've yet to get around to unfortunately. I've heard great things about it though and really love the style/aesthetic of it. Gonna have to check it out eventually

@@GamingBroductions That's awesome. I hope you enjoy it and hopefully you'll share your thoughts with us. There's nothing else like it. I'm a little jealous - that first play-trough is a precious thing. You can't ever get it back, so savor every moment - that's to say if you like it, of course.

@@petertromp8786 there’s games like it actually but it’s still a good game

Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏼 Our older videos are a little rough, but happy to hear you’ve been watching them! Hopefully you found some great games to play!

I'm 95% complete and it's cuz i missed 10 owl's but did everything. Else but it's also saying I'm missing 5 sub quests wich i know is false I've done them all so I'm at a lose of what to do. Love the game though and vesperia was phenomenal my fav out of the 2 if i had to choice he

I DEADASS CRIED MAN and ive played through it like uh...5 to 6 times now?

its so underrated. The story was impeccable. The music and combat was amazing. One of the best games I've ever played.

Ys 8 is so good, especially all the stuff with Dana Recently played Ys 9, and I actually liked it even more. Themes in that game really stuck with me and was surprisingly pretty complex for what Ys stories usually are. Cant wait for Ys10 whenever that comes, it'll even be in a new engine

@@PantsaBear honestly i liked ys8 more, but i do love ys9 it might just be because i havent beaten ys9 yet which i need to do lmao. Ys8 just stuck with me way more and kept me more focused than ys9 did

No doubt been out over a year now and still can only get them from scalpers who raised the price an extra $400. The ps5 ain’t worth getting ripped off. I can’t believe the fools who payed $2000 for it.

Yeah......still waiting for ps5

I'm glad I never felt any strong drive to even attempt getting a PS5.

Me too

Sincerely, after Abyss, all of the stories and graphics look like recycling of the old ones, Berseria try to escape a little, but still not good enough, i know is a remake, but Vesperia is the best tales in the ps4!(i didn't play Arise)

I think it shares the number one spot with Switch. Both have a gigantic library of jrpgs and many of them being on both systems, it is pretty much a tie when it comes to exclusives: The PS4 has the phenomenal Persona 5 Royal as well as Tales of Arise and Final Fantasy VII Remake, while the Switch has Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Shin Megami Tensei V, Rune Factory 5 and Triangle Strategy.

@@FelixS. . Triangle Strategy? The game is not even out yet, too soon to talk about it.

@@SeventhheavenDK It’s out in a month or so and based on the team, its predecessor, the demo and the artwork everything leads to the assumption it’s going to be lit.

I think the Switch is the better system for jrpgs

We talking current consoles or ALL consoles. If all you the convo is between PS1 or SNES

Seeing as you're a fan of Cold Steel, I'd say play through Sky 1-3 on PC as you wait for Hajimari/Reverie & Zero + Azure, though you've watched them already. I'm playing through Hajimari on PS5 using a capture card and geofield translations overlay. We'll be getting Zero, Azure & Reverie in the next 1-2 years. Who's to say when we'll get Kuro, lol. I do have my Japanese copy (Spriggan Edition), but I'll wait until Geofield's done w/ their translation to play it. I can read/write Japanese, but not enough to have a 100% understanding of slang and the like in a Japanese game. But yes, I will be buying Reverie CE as soon as it comes to the west in 2023. I've got the Japanese Hajimari platinum edition + the incredibly beautiful geo steelbook for it. Goes well with the other CS1-4 steelbooks and merch, lol. With that being said, if you're a fan of the Falcom games, Ys is definitely worth it. It's not as long as CS, but hell, I'd say it's worth it at full price. Also check out Tokyo Xanadu as well. It's got some CS references in it too! P.S. Ys9 is on sale right now for $30, so go ahead and snag it now!

@@HellzAssassn Much respect to a hardcore Falcom fan! I would dig in to the Liberl Arc like you're suggesting but it's more a question of time and resources. I don't PC game at all, don't own a PSP (nor am I going to buy one just for that) and I have other things to play at this point (like Y's!) that I rather dig into rather than a plot where I already know the details of. Heck, it's already a stretch that I'm going to go back and play the Crossbell Arc, all things considered 😅. I WISH I had the time I did 20 years ago to game like I used to, but social and professional obligations being what they are means I got to pick and choose what I play very carefully. Probably doesn't help that I play all my games on hard and play at a ridiculously slow pace haha (major gameplay optimizer and overthinker here)!

Damn! I gave up on the platinum with just 3 trophies away. The final final dungeon was going to be too much of a grind for me. Also I didn't like the Kart racing so I didn't finish the all the races although I was close.

You have to climb to the top of the millennium tower. Twice. It's insane how difficult it is the second time around. The Amon boss fight was pure agony. I spent countless hours going through the sewers trying to farm experience from this games version of a rare metal slime.

@@Tone_Loc303 I did it once and on the second run I was one shooted lol. I went to grind like you did and hit max level I believe for character or job class but I know you need both. I just said enough and went to play Another game since I was sitting on like 10 games at the time.

That's fair. It literally took me over 4 hours to make it to the top the second time through and beat Amon. I tried close to a dozen times before I finally beat it. It's infuriating to be three or more hours in than die and lose all your progress and have to start from the bottom again.

@@Tone_Loc303 I don't know how you did it! I love hard games myself but the second final tower run was just too much, even after I heard how you need to he max level and job class.

Probably, and i can't confirm, this IS his job. Video gaming i mean. Most of us play as a hobby, and have jobs that take up most of our time.

All great games too (well I haven't played 13 Sentinels yet but have heard it's really good). We've talked about some of those games before just not in this video. Maybe we'll make a part 2 eventually and include some of these

Valkyria chronicles 4 was good but the other two I wouldn't really call a jrpg but still great games.

Agreed. His 8 are a great list, but if he went with a ninth, it should be an Atelier game

For me Atelier Lulua is the best one released on PS4 although I do have high hopes for Sophie 2

Hell yeah, enjoy. Haven’t gotten a PS5 myself yet either but will in due time

Or available lol

It's plays well. Obviously PS5,Xbox Series X/S and PC is better but it is completely playable.

I have the ps5 version and I think it works just as well on ps4? Load times might be faster on ps5 tough but if that doesn't bother you just go for ps4 version (you get free ps5 upgrades on basicly all discs anyways when you put it in a ps5)

Chrono trigger is the goat imo

Have you Suikoden 2?

Yea nier feels more like a hack and slash anime styled game than a jrpg. I don’t get jrpg vibes when I play it at all buts it’s an amazing game. Dragon quest 11 gives you jrpg vibes to the max which is why I think you would have to be a fan of that genre to really enjoy it. Or a fan of Dragonball Z art work.

Maybe not anytime soon, but when it’s not so fresh on your mind it would be fun to go back and eventually play again. And I would consider the SNES/PS1 generations as the first JRPG renaissance, plus maybe the early PS2/gamecube days as the tail end of it

Gross I do not like that. An experience cap? I really don't like when game designers constrict freedom of play. The function of it makes no sense anyways. What is the thought? That gamers are too stupid to play the way they like? Like we are a bunch a babies who need their hands held?

Here's a side note: Play the first two CS games and loop back to Sky and Crossbell before jumping onto CS3, the reason is simple the last two CS games including Reverie heavily relies on events/plots and returning characters from the previous two arcs that to any newcomer lacking context will have a hard time understanding what's happening. The Trails series as a whole is massive consisting of 4 interconnected arcs as of now in the same continent and will expand over time: Liberl (Sky 1-3), Crossbell (Zero, Azure and Reverie), Erebonia (CS 1-4, Reverie) and the current one Calvard (Kuro 1 &2?) that ties into one overarching story in the span of 6-7 years in game.

I couldnt disagree more honestly. Dana living a past life and now being a part of the current one is a tragedy, and the fact the player needs to go through it all despite knowing the end result of what happens to her people is what really twists the knife. One could argue it has themes about moving on from grief when all that you cared about is gone, and its super resonant for that reason. Not only that, I think it fits in perfectly with Adol having his own story, with his own situation with actual hope for the future. Dana recognizes that and uses that to move on, which is why I think she is so personable to many people playing that game. Your question "why care about the survivors when the entire universe is at stake" is intentional. They need to survive, both due to island reasons but also due to thel unexpected supernatural ones as well. The entire game plays on the idea on "survival" and what stakes that really includes, as evidenced by the enemies being dinosaurs and Dana'a entire plotline realy. It starts as a tale about surviving on an island and escalates to surviving on the scale of the human race. The only aspect of the game that fell a little flat to me was the last boss not in "tone", but in "what it actually is/looks like", but that feeling fleeted quickly because I love the way Dana's story ends: as a martyr for not only her generation but for all those going forward. Adol's story is one about saving the ones he cares about now, and Dana's is about failing to do what Adol is trying to do and helping him do what she could not alone. Both of them most definitely belong to have their stories in the same game.

@@PantsaBear I am sorry No, it not only doesn't fit story wise, but canonically it flatly runs counter to the other 'world origin' stories in the Y's saga (which already has 3 contradicting world origin stories on top of this one) The Story of "Dana" was admitted by the Writer that it was not originally intended to be part of Y's and does not fit in any sense to the story or world itself.

It's the slow ass progression with your levels. Was also having some difficulty with my party being underleveled . Sadly this is how it is now that namco sells those shitty time savers or boosters (w/e they're called) to help you level up faster

@@richlb5357 yeah they got me with those, i bought one of those 5 dollar 5 level packs and after that it felt like a normal tales rpg progression wise. Its scummy but just how things are these days

Nah. You just have to use your brain for a few seconds.

Yea, I bought it early as well. I'm not re buying it, unless I find it for 10 bucks or less

@@pryt86 it’s part of PS Plus Extra Tier now

Is it good? i have been interested in the game for some time, I find it intriguing.

@@SeventhheavenDK yes! its fn amazing! if you liked persona 5 its similar but still its own thing! One of the best adult jrpgs ever imo!

Yakuza LAD is something else lol

Just finished it.. awesome game!!!

I hear you but I was specifically referring to the full console RPG experience and to that DQXI is the first one we got since 8 on the ps2. There was no new mainline Dragon Quest entry on the PS3 is what I was trying to get at

that’s what Yakuza is great at right ? I spent so many hours in the pocket cart racer side game in Y0 😂

I hate how he pronounced it. Because it's an outstanding game and story

Any of these 8 mentioned?

Astral Chain, Y's VIII, Nier Replicant.

That’s Adol Christin

Nioh 2

Nope! There are some minor callbacks to the first few games that long time fans will appreciate but nothing needed to fully understand the story or anything like that. So enjoy 👍

I think it's perfectly playable on both. The biggest deciding factor will probably just come down to how important portability is to you

The Definitive Edition found on the PS4 is a port of the Definitive Edition S from the Switch which had an orchestral version of the soundtrack, more gameplay stuff, etc. but took a hit graphically compared to the original vanilla PS4 version of DQ11 which looked better graphically but the soundtrack was not orchestrated (and was that midi sounding OST). Long story short, the Definitive Edition on the PS4 looks worse than the original release version on the PS4, but is the better gameplay experience and audio experience if you're willing to take a hit to the graphics.
