This was a very funny part. This is THAT One part which hurts the game.

Wow, thanks! Seeing comments like this makes what I do worthwhile.

@@BigKlingy happy to make it worthwhile for you, hoping your having a good time man, love your stuff, i even bought trails in the sky because of your walkthrough of it... but before you became disilusioned with the franchise

@@zacanderson3766 I'm somewhat redeemed on the franchise now. Zero and Azure were amazing, and Reverie looks really good.

@@BigKlingy oh, well as good a time as any to get back into it

ANDHEREWEARE (wait, is that where that happened?) Monkey sounds on random enemies always tends to lead to hilarity for some reason.

@@BigKlingyThe Amusement Park is World 3, ANDHEREWEARE happens later than that. As the saying goes, monke funny.

I like the concept of this place, I just don't like the first floor. But the rest makes up for it.

We'll see what THAT implies... one day.

lol, I guess it's kind of similar.

There isn't EXACTLY a warp maze in this game, but there's something sorta similar later on. Metaphor really seems like it's going to be DDS3 mechanically.

Yeah it can have issues, that's why I have automatic save-state on exit set, although even that only goes so far.

Thanks! I still like that style so I try to keep it alive. These days KZfaq is all about video essays, which are fine, I just think both formats should be able to co-exist.

I've heard this is relied on in human-only challenge runs.

Only if you want all the chests, though.

Hit by 808 Gigawatt Cat Attack. (Actually super in Hi Fi Rush. INSANELY small hitbox, massive damage, so basically Jigglypuff's Rest in Smash Bros.)

6:28 Guard Smack! 11:51 I mean, that's also a well-liked spinoff. 47:18 lol.

6:28 Weird sentence, but okay. 20:17 lol, well... 34:12 It's pretty forced, but calcium = colosseum.

@@BigKlingy 6:28 I was thinking in terms of tuna. (edit) I like adding a little nonsense every now and then. (end edit) 34:12 Thank you.

Well, I guess I have to thank them, because I had an amazing day at Tokyo Disneyland the one time I went. (On a school trip, so they paid lol)

Ara Mitamas in this game only exist to be Devoured in Field Hunts, though...

@@BigKlingy Eh, my point still stands. He has the Mitama Mantra available so why not ?

2:49 That's a great way to put it.

lol

There's a lot of different ways to play this game. Doing it that way should still work out fine.

Thankfully, only the first floor.

Oh yeah, she does namedrop it. Once.

That's generally very possible. I just like the magic build for the safety net Dia provides. Dia + massive MP means Serph is basically a walking heal point and so the risk of dying is much less. That's why I recommend magic builds to newcomers.

1 hour 25 minutes, as I said at the end.

@@BigKlingy You have more patience then me!

2:05 To master that Mantra, yeah I guess. 5:53 Cats are VERY good at letting their owners know when they want them to open a door, lol. 8:06 Probably a case like Great Ace Attorney's Sherlock Holmes stuff: the WORK is public domain, but the characters still aren't. 13:52 Possibly... 20:10 Actually yeah. Reminds me of how weird Eliwood and Ephraim look when hacked into enemy palletes. 29:40 Really? I thought people liked the first game? 30:53 That's cool. My D&D group hasn't been able to meet up for a while.

@@BigKlingy 8:06 I think as of now all Sherlock Holmes material is public domain 29:40 (Warning. Long Comment) I don't know how well people's reception was as a whole, but I remember last I checked YW1 sold less than the Virtual Boy in the west. Granted that was years ago but that was when it was more relevant in the west. If I had to blame anything for its failure, I think it's marketing would have to do so. Not just from the perspective of this was Wii U era Nintendo, but also the anime aired pretty decently early on Disney XD (where I am anyways), the fact while cards and a game for it did exist in Japan, America got an exclusive card game, and the choice to localize the second game in the same year as Gen 7 was releasing which pretty much ended its chances with it getting some smaller success in Europe. Enough to get some YW4 material From the outside it felt like it was just seen as a Pokémon ripoff, even though they are very different and if anything Yo-Kai Watch feels more like a kid friendly SMT. One review of the game didn't even finish the main campaign and called the game bad. I don't really know how well the fandoms see each other but definitely take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as I've only seen it broadly twice(one youtube channel and one reddit thread) it does feel like there is a small portion of the Yo-Kai Watch community resents Pokémon and while I get that from some perspective and can even understand some of the resentment towards Gen 7 in particular, as someone who likes both of these series, even if I will fight the accusations of Gen 7 being a complete ripoff, it makes me sad that our fandoms can't have a better relationship.

Clarifications It was more about the slice of life comedic tone rather than just the school as well as the idea the Rotom Dex and Whisper both served as an advisory comic relief The Yo-Kai Watcnes seen in 1-3(Don't know about some of 4's more unique watches) are pieces of technology. Which already puts it in direct opposition to the Z-Rings which are a part of Alolan Culture I think part of was also Z-Moves and Soultimates, buy frankly after transformation, I feel to quote an SA2 review "Anime Style Super Ultra Mega Attack" is a pretty clear next idea to go for

@@BigKlingy Apologies in advance for butting in, however I need to address that middle bit; I REALLY don't think it being labeled as a "Pokemon Killer" would have helped it AT ALL. No help whatsoever. Not once has that label has helped any Monster Taming game, even with the growing anti-Pokemon sentimentality. And call me a crazy if you must, but I swear most of the time, that label is used far more by Pokemon fans than anyone else, and that I feel *certain* fans use it as a slandering tool to get people to hate on whatever "could" pose a threat to Pokemon or is even vaguely similar to it (especially since the "Pokemon Killer" term often comes with the notion of being an "cheap imitation"). That accursed label is up there with "Pokemon-likes" and "Pokemon Knock Offs" for the damage it has done to other games and entire series in the genre. Even with the restatement towards Pokemon nowadays, that label will only get game interest killed and I hate how some still spread that term around. Apologies for the rant; As you can now tell, that label is a blood boiler for me. Also since you mentioned it, MAN I wish Yo Kai Watch got to enjoy some benefit from that boom before being forced to only being allowed to exist in Japan. Would have needed more than that to save it internationally mind you, but it really is salt rubbing into the wound with how that boost happened the same year Yo Kai Watch petered out of the West and was a few months late too late to give it some spotlight (YW3 released like March-ish 2019, just a few months before GF set off the powder keg with that infamous Dex remark). Just, SOMETHING to make people appreciate the series more before it left most regions. As awful as this might be to say, but that outrage was probably one of the best things that ever happened to the genre as it finally got people to branch out and support other Monster Taming games instead of complaining as they play through the series they claim to despise now. Finally broke the genre out of its nearly two decade-long imprisonment of labels, disrespect, and disregard caused by being remotely similar to Pokemon in the eyes of the public. The genre feels like it's in a better place now we're now seeing more Monster Taming games coming out with a lot of genuine love and followings for them in tow. I wished Yo Kai Watch could get to enjoy this moment internationally too. Here's to hoping a revival or something happens at Level 5's showcase for whenever that happens this summer. Anyway, that's enough of my ramblings for now.

@@jaredfayette2567 It's ok at least to me. Honestly I agree part of the reason Yo-Kai Watch did fail was because of the Pokémon comparisons. Also yeah the monster taming genre being allowed to exist does feel like one of the few good things to come out of the dex cut in regards to the outside fandom. As other wise... I *really* *really* *really* *DON'T* wanna talk about it right now.

Oh right, yeah I think I remember one of the PSN ports wasn't great. That sucks. But Nocturne is also great. And yes, EXACTLY. This whole place is basically "Foreshadowing: the Dungeon." 11:40 Oh right, of course they do. Because Metatron makes weird creaking noises when attacking here, rather than the iconic HMMMMM! of Nocturne. But didn't Shiva scream bloody murder in the original Nocturne? (Thor also did)

@@BigKlingy To give an idea of how bad the PSN release of Lucifer's Call (PAL Nocturne): the game would always freeze at the end of the Second Kalpa during the cutscene where the four horsemen appear, but that could be fixed by switching to NTSC mode (which you select upon booting up the game, and thankfully all modern TVs support NTSC). The game would also freeze during the cutscene after beating Kagutsuchi. And yes that means it was impossible to get New Game + unless you got the worst ending, nor could you fight Lucifer. Years later I found out the glitch wouldn't happen if you did the fight in French. And no I'm not making this up, I did in fact test it myself and it worked, but by then I had already snagged a physical copy on PS2 On a related note, I heard that they couldn't get PAL DDS1 to run on the PS3, which is why it's the NTSC version that's on the Playstation store. Though that port also had it's issues, the game runs like a 50hrtz PAL game. So it was pretty jarring to see yours run so smoothly. Luckily DDS 2 doesn't have that issue Shiva's voice lines in Nocturne are hard to describe, they're just...weird, but you're right about Thor, though he also does a weird moan scream thing in PS2 Nocturne

Yes, I will.

Oh boy, yeah. Though what goes down here is also kinda nasty. We'll see.

Having to trek back through the corridor with encounters every single time you fall is the real kicker.

0:30 1 hour 25 minutes of raw footage! 35:15 Yeah I wish other Persona games let you do that.

Honestly if DDS ever gets rereleased, I imagine they are gonna combine both games into one package. Though probally like the PS3 version of Tales of Symphonia which also included its sequel, Dawn of the New World.

Yeah Atlus didn't do too well until Persona 4 was a surprise hit. I still think there's a decent enough amount of content in both games to justify them being separate, and the sequel DOES improve a few mechanics (Field Hunts and Omoikane are more interesting, Ingest Mana comes with the first Devour Mantra), so there's that.

Too bad it uploaded the day I needed to travel for my holiday which is why I was very slow on writing this comment. He does not comprehend backtracking. I have a crack theory of why Cielo is suddenly Jamaican but it is kind of weird at the same time. This place seems annoying although I can think of two dungeons in Persona 1 that are probably worse than this. I will probably try DDS at some point, probably after I have finally given Persona 2 its long overdue go. Maybe he secretly likes the skeletons as well. Good luck with the Duelist Cup and hopefully it will nice and smooth. As for myself, I am on holiday which is one reason why I decided to check out a stream for a hour and it was fun. It was cool to see Vengeance in action since I am still very on the fence with it as my brother isn't very keen on me getting a game I already own but we will see. As for playing games, in Gran Turismo 4, we have wrapped up the short endurance races starting with the Super Speedway 150 Miles which is the shortest endurance in the game taking 50 minutes for me to complete but one reason is that the opponents are using prototype race cars so it was time to take the Minolta Toyota for a drive for the first time and it did really good and that event was an easy win. My reward was a Honda NSX-R LM Race Car which is a pretty cool race car so I decided to prepare it for the next endurance, the Grand Valley 300 KM and it proved a pretty fun car to drive and it was also a pretty easy endurance to win with it taking just under 2 hours to beat. My reward was a 1930s Auto Union which is a pretty interesting looking car but probably very hard to drive. After that, I decided to take on a series of endurance events in the European Events with the 1000 Miles! event which is based on the real life Mille Miglia, which means 1000 miles. This is a series of four races so each race is probably around 250 miles. You are only allowed cars from 1970 and older and no race cars are allowed either but the opponents aren't going to use those anyway so my weapon of choice is a 1970 Dodge Charger which is not only very fast but handles pretty well because it can be fitted with a rear wing. Since my Charger is much stronger than most of the possible opponents, I resetted the event until one of the opponents drives a AC Cars 427 which is a car I wished I fought against in the other classic car events. The first event was 25 laps around the Nürburgring and while it was an easy event to win, it wasn't a straight forward one since my tyres could only last 2 laps and trying to go for 3 laps will cause the rear tyres to die with around one third of the lap remaining which isn't fun. The other thing was this event took 3 hours to complete making it the longest endurance race so far but we won and we are leading the points so next time, it will be race 2 of 4. By the way, I have been listening to Klingy's streams during these endurance races, starting with the Paper Mario 2 stream for obvious reasons but after that, I started going through the Persona 3 Reload streams since like Vengeance, I am also on the fence about getting it especially since my brother is watching his friend play it and he doesn't want to see someone else playing it after that. As for the TTYD remake, we are able to play while on holiday and after setting up the TV to Game Mode, we were able to get through Chapter 7 with no problems whatsoever with the boss going down very easily as well. I can also appreciate the fact they cutdown the backtracking with General White even though it didn't really bother me in the original. Next time though, it will probably be time to take on the Pit of 100 Trials after doing a bit of preparations. Before we left for the holiday, some more funny things happened with randomized Three Houses like getting four movement level ups which are a 1% growth by the way and Dimitri got two of them which is very funny when you remember that he has Twin Crests as his personal skill so he has two extra move and gets two actions per turn. Other funny things were tea times unlocking which created some harrowing experiences and Claude being the Death Knight and I guess it is kind of fitting that Claude is evil considering what I have been hearing about him in Three Hopes. My brother was able to beat him since Claude was an Archbishop so he could bait Claude into using Agnea's Arrow to make killing him very easy. Finally, some noteworthy units so far are Cyril who replaces Mercedes who has extra bow range as his personal but also has amazing stats to go along with that so he is an excellent bow units and Mercedes who replaces Sylvain which needs to very funny dialogue but despite her really poor bases, has really grown into something great with her stats and having Flickering Flower as a combat art probably helps too.

@@BerserkerRohan No need to apologize; Sometimes timing can be a prick and that's not anyone's fault. Indeed, he may not comprehend many things, but the thing he least comprehends is a player's urge to backtrack at any given moment. Yeah I've heard the horror stories about some of P1's most infamous dungeons. Some of them I recall you sharing if I'm not mistaken. Have fun when you do play those two games. ... You know, BigKlingy being a tsundere for bad puns is probably a non-zero chance, so you might be onto something. lol Only did a handful so far. Not bad, YET, but... It just takes so long. Well, long relative to both the free time I have AND for how much longer the pass has left (only 18ish days left at this point). While grinding up from my starting spot of 44/100 is possible in that time, it's just going to be tedious and it happening during the one format where I can't just take the L and get partial credit on matches I don't scoop on (Duelist Cup has no point based rewards; Only awards winning), so it's going to take a minute. And the dull grind of Rank, even if it'll be easier (due to both good and bad reasons), will not be helping too once I get sick of the DC. Again, hope you guys have a wonderful holiday. Also I can get your brother's hesitation. Had I not seen that early trailer/behind the scenes look on the game on the day or so after it was revealed that should the Dev's earnestness to get things right this time, I would absolutely have had the same mindset as him, maybe even more so. It would certainly be better for someone more hesitant to scout out how much of a difference Vengeance makes before buying it if you already played OG V. Great to hear more progress in GT4. Although certainly sounded like a session going from one of the shortest endurance events to the longest (and still in the middle of it) in what seems to be fairly close to one another. Regardless, you still did great and got more cars. Hope that goes well. Enjoy the VoDs. Also I can kind of get your brother's view if he just went through it via watching someone else, but hopefully maybe after some time he won't mind it too much. Good work too in clearing Chapter 7 of TTYD. Also yeah, that Chapter is better in the remake thanks to the new Warp Pipe Room. While I do think that part wasn't the worse in OG too (especially given how we've seen worse back tracking in the series elsewhere; See World 3 of Sticker Star), it was still really nice having that room to help cut down backtracking for it. That and for backtracking in some troubles too (where I honestly feel most of the backtracking issues are in the game and I'm lucky for the warp pipe room to be a thing since some troubles would really suck without it). Best of luck with the Pit next time. Oh dear, movement level ups in an already chaotic randomizer. That's going to be something. And it already is with two of them going to the guy with double actions, which really makes it +4 move. Yeah, if it was Hopes, then that randomized form would fit (still concerned going back to 3H because of that). Funny how Cyril is still really good with bows in the randomizer as well.

@@jaredfayette2567 That is something difficult for someone like him to comprehend. The Ice Palace was probably one of the most tricky mazes to get through so I am sure I have mentioned it before. Does sound like you need a lot of patience with that Duelist Cup so I hope things will go as well possible with that. That is one reason why I will be listening to your opinions of Vengeance to see if I really want to get it later, most likely for Christmas, considering some of the other games I could get. It has been mostly one race a day so I have been doing things back to back. 1000 Miles! will take a while just because it is four very long races. We will see with Reload but I don't mind waiting especially if it lands on the Switch successor. That Pipe room is one of the best additions the remake has since it does make sidequests way easier as well as General White. The Pit will be fun to talk about later. If Dimitri becomes a Wyvern, things are going to get really fun. All Cyril will need now is getting a really good Bow combat art which is possible. We shall see once we come back from the holiday.

I knew someone would say that.
