Thanks for the great video and timestamps! It makes it waaay faster for me to pick the name of the games I liked and share the video with my friends

Me too bro

100% me

Close enough about what I want to do, I guess...

Same

Facts

Love Fantasy Life!

Those 3 are genuinely my favorite games of all time! I’ve been playing fantasy life again for the last 2 weeks. I also heard Monster Hunter stories 1 is getting a switch release soon.

Best decision I ever made. I did my old 3ds xl and new 3ds xl and filled them both. 0 regrets over a year later.

Hey at least u have them so whenever u do have free time u don’t have to waste it attempting to acquire these games🤣💯

I got all of them and havent played them yet

@@sultan_3864 I don't like first person dungeons so I didn't like Persona Q or Persona Q2 at all. My favourites are 1. Rune Factory 4 | 2. Fire Emblem Echoes | 3. Fire Emblem Awakening | 4. Yokai Watch 2 | 5. Fire Emblem Conquest | 6. Monster Hunter Stories

Oh for sure. I’m a physical guy but won’t pass up on digital when the price is so reasonable

​@@ABitMoreJordan 133 CAD on digital? Hmm.

Which ones did you buy? Looking into starting Atlus games.

I don't like first person dungeons so I didn't like Persona Q or Persona Q2 at all. I recommend 1. Rune Factory 4 | 2. Fire Emblem Echoes | 3. Fire Emblem Awakening | 4. Yokai Watch 2 | 5. Fire Emblem Conquest (or Birthright if you prefer that) | 6. Monster Hunter Stories

Thanks a ton!

Cool. I can't afford a phisical copy of devil survivor overclocked

Holy crap your collection must be worth heaps

Well you're rich

Not sure why they didn't make a new one

That's the plan!

Highly recommended that game.

I started with the 4th game. I believe that was the game that started the systems that were seen in the the remakes that were released after it. It had a decent enough story to make me want to finish it. Only thing is the endgame content is a little lacking but what’s there is challenging enough and a good end to the game

That was the arguably the best in the series! Finished both EOU1 and 2 both story mode and classic (no story) modes, they were just so good but the café system in 2 just made it the GOAT of the series. I tried playing them first on ds but could never get into it. I thought I just wasn't into first person dungeon crawlers (it's my first ever game in the genre). It was years after that before I tried to give it another go but on the 3ds this time and surprisingly, I got hooked! I tried IV, but it was so friggin' slow and clunky compared to EOU1 & 2 that I could never play it for more than 10 hours no matter how much I tried to get back into it. V and Nexus are pretty good too!

Yeah I’d have put it in but it seemed purely a strategy game from what I gathered

Thanks a lot bud. Been doing YT quite a while on other channels. This is the one o enjoy the most though

Thanks for the sub!

Whoa... I just a massively vague memory about this now you mentioned it. I need to look this up again, because I followed Ghostlight a lot

@@ABitMoreJordan It was in Europe and I’m Not sure if the regular retail version has the special thanks section or if it was just for backers. There is around 5 pages of names at the end of the book. I might have misunderstood but as I remember they claimed that it would not be released without people pre ordering it.

Good game

Thanks Devron!

Sure does, I have it myself. But I was talking about the 3DS version 😊

​@@ABitMoreJordan my bad then 😅

Working on it! Might be a bit after the eShop is dead though

@@ABitMoreJordan Perfect! Especially nice that it all is connected with news from @Voultar and his method of fixing "dying" WiiU systems🤟🏻

Really? I bought it a long time ago and never played it cause I heard it was bad

@@marlenapowers478 I'm not a huge RPG guy, but something about Alliance Alive really worked for me.

It's so good though!

@@ABitMoreJordan I play on a 2DS 😈😈😂

Really? I’m interested in giving it a go

Hardcore!

Yeah, IMO the original was just better. I'm currently playing it on EPSXE. I refuse to play the 3ds remake. Too many unnecessary changes.

Hey Elisa!

I think when Untold releases they weren’t too expensive but I take your point

@@ABitMoreJordan Ah, I see. Well, Untolds are vastly superior to the originals anyway with tons of new features and rebalancing. The story mode alone makes them worth it. Don't listen to those saying the story mod sucks. It doesn't. On the contrary: it's fun. And grimoires are a fun way to break the game. :)

Can’t understand the love for SoV. Its a fully stripped down Fire Emblem game. Removal of the weapon triangle, split classes, offers fewer class options in general, no pair up or stance mechanics. The levels themselves are slow, empty and utterly lacking in original mechanics. The gameplay additions are superficial, gimicky or sleazy (regarding the micro transactions). The 3D dungeons are shallow, mostly rewarding exploration with endless food items, their main feature being quick, watered down (and much less strategic) battles. Same for the point and click sections, which feel like an afterthought. The story is forgettable too, with its two main characters barely interacting with each other until the finale. Contrast with Sacred Stones’ much better handling of split paths. It’s a terrible game honestly, and I think its appeal is purely due to its strong aesthetic and voice acting. Which is not a good reason to sing it’s praises.

@@VideoGuy232We’ve got to look at the source material to understand what kind of game this was meant to be. A love letter to classic fire emblem. Literally a remake of the 2nd game. A game where you’ve got split paths, limited units with access to usually one type of weapon anyway. Making them locked to their weapon. (Which I prefer but I understand wanting more customization.) From a story perspective it makes much more sense why I can’t continually re-class. Most new mechanics wouldn’t mesh well in an older game which is why they were left out. This game wasn’t designed around a weapon triangle, it wasn’t designed around a cheap mechanic like pair up, and it wasn’t designed with the best stages either. (Especially Celica’s route.) I do think the strengths are still present that it stands as a stark contrast to newer FE games. I actually feel like each character has life, a reason for being on the battlefield, and some form of uniqueness, their respective stats/classes match that. You have a ragtag group that is the resistance, and you have a very compelling story. The fact that Alm and Celica have rare meetings makes it that much better when they do interact. They also have different goals which makes sense that they wouldn’t interact much. While I agree that the point and click section isn’t my favorite it adds flavor text, world building, and detail that you just wouldn’t have otherwise. Exploring a little town like engage or 3H may have mitigated the issue, but I find walking around an empty space with a few npcs is less enjoyable honestly. The pro for these sections is how quickly you can navigate them and get back to the story which has wonderful pacing. The story does carry a lot of the weight, I won’t argue. The art direction and voice acting are also wonderful. (As you’ve said.) All this to say, OG Fire Emblem may not be your cup of tea. That’s alright. However to say it’s a terrible game is unfair and honestly just not true. Even if it were actually bad - let other people enjoy things they like :)

@@andrewjohnson7703 That’s a lot of text without saying much. Most of your points being “I like that they removed features,” and “it makes perfect narrative sense that they removed features.” The rest has nothing to do with this particular game and applies to the rest of the series for the most part. They’re all about rag tag groups, the split paths have been done before on multiple occasions, the world building has always been good in these games without the gimmicks. Every game is a “love letter,” a meaningless statement, mind you. Dungeon crawling and point and click sections don’t add anything of value to the game, because we come here to play a good SRPG, not a mediocre SRPG attached to a bad action adventure game. So fine, you enjoy that they simplified the games (something no one asked for and won’t be seen again), but you must understand that removing elements from a franchise is not as impressive as adding to it, and it’s certainly not innovation. If the older games were still up to snuff, they would either use them as templates for the modern games, re release them, or people would just go and play the originals. But they don’t, because they are antiquated. The weapon triangle is the defining feature of modern FE games, and is what gives them their tactical depth and allows them to stand above their contemporaries, elements that are sorely missed in SoV. Instead, SoV is content to inflate its difficulty with imbalanced archer classes picking at you from choke points, or forcing you to move a couple squares at a time across vast maps while contending with endlessly respawning/teleporting enemies. It’s just bad game design. I’m sure it was considered innovative when it first released over 25 years ago. But we’ve since developed well past that. When you have games that see Intelligent Systems working tirelessly to push what the genre can provide, and crafting detailed levels and mechanics, going and playing something like SoV is frankly embarrassing. Shadow Dragon, the other handheld remake, actually bothered to improve on the original gameplay and make it accessible for a modern audience. Enemy spawns were adjusted, the triangle was implemented. Yet it gets a massive amount of hate, even though there was more effort behind it than something like SoV. Fire emblem SoV is among the lowest rated games in the franchise from a critical standpoint. It also sold less than a third as well as its two predecessors on the system. Yet a very vocal minority hypes it up (while denouncing the other 3DS entries), and it’s simply false advertising. There’s no reason to play SoV when you can play FE Awakening or Fates. They’re much better games. And honestly? Any other modern FE game would do

@@VideoGuy232 My man you are really hell bent on hating a game other people like. What’s the point? You aren’t being forced to play it. Again, let people enjoy the things they enjoy. You don’t have to join. What does starting an argument with a stranger on the internet accomplish? You can be a FE fan and dislike SoV. I can be a FE fan and like SoV. I’ll play it and enjoy it while you can ignore it. Wish you the best out there man.

@@andrewjohnson7703 I decided to finish it fairly recently because it was recommended to me, and because of the praise it gets online. I didn’t make it too far my first playthrough so I figured I’d give it another go. And as expected, it was a disappointing experience. So offering my opinion is cathartic in that sense. And could also save someone the time of buying it. I’m not forbidding anyone from enjoying anything. I don’t think that’s even possible. I’m giving my opinion like the OP gave theirs and you gave yours. Just because it’s negative doesn’t mean it isn’t worth sharing. Sorry if you don’t like it, you don’t have to read it. As a side note, I’d argue that a negative opinion with reasoning is worth significantly more than a positive one without it. And there are absolutely tons of the latter. I personally enjoy hearing a negative review of something I like because it allows me to better view it through a critical lens, and thus better appreciate what I enjoy about it. Just some food for thought

Zelda games are not RPGs And me too, i had so much fun with a link between worlds, i really want to replay it too

I think balance tends to be an issue with most of their games. Including games like Octopath.

What's the 3rd one's title then?

No this guy does not know what he talking about pmao

Played the 2nd demo years ago when it came out. Loved it so much I kept my demo save in the chance of me getting the full game in the future. Been awhile but now since I’m older and can actually afford it now I finally plan on getting in on Amazon soon

Whaaat… no fez emoji? What’s the world coming to?

Great choices!

HSHOP GANG BABYYYYY

Digitally or physically? Prices are pretty high right now

@@ABitMoreJordan physically and digital. Kinda picked the outrageously high ones for digital and the ones I could afford for physical. I'd say each game ended up around $60 each out of 21 games.

My mistake, my quick google search and ebay search didn't show a NA cover.

@@ABitMoreJordan maybe the na copy had that few releases. It's not uncommon for atlus to print limited copies of their games.

Would love to know too

Well, I am not 😊😇

Fr. Umineko soundtrack

Not an RPG in my opinion

Sure, but I think Pokemon is so established these days they can get away with it. They were also spread out over years. Yokai was very new and they all came out within a few years. Not defending Pokemon or anything, but it's hard to swallow something so new so quickly without wearing it down.

@@ABitMoreJordan yeah I guess that makes sense. I don't like Yokai watch 3 anyway lol. But they should have just stuck with 4 games. Yokai watch 1 and the 3 versions of Yokai watch 2

That’s one way to do it

Yep!

@@ABitMoreJordan fair enough 🤣

Unbelievable the didn't even try one.

JRPG = Japanese RPG. RPG made by Japanese people. Simple as this.

@@sirmiluch6856 This is a stupid statement if you stop to think about it. Just because MacDonalds opens a franchise store in Tokyo with a Japanese owner, then hires an all Japanese staff, doesn't make the Big Mac "Japanese cuisine".
