"This is far too peaceful." No Sean, this is FAR: Changing Tides.

So I think I figured it out, the connection in what had happened. So basically: The tectonic plates shifted much more than they should have and one ended up going almost completely over the other, so the one from Lone Sails would be the one on top as the water started to leave it going to the lower tectonic plate, which then made it into a barren wasteland as there was no more water, but all the water that used to be there went into Changing Tide's tectonic plate, flooding it and washing most things away. This made both societies develop different ways of coping with the CT one making everything from trains and towns into boats, and LS changing anything from boats and scrap metal into walking/driving machinery

AAAAHHHH THE LADY SHE HAD A PHOTO OF LONE! For those who don't know Lone was the playable character from the LS. Lone Hendrickson was the Daughter of Ian Hendrickson which if you don't know was the man who invented the okomotive, the main unit in LS (or what Jack called Thomas). In the beginning of LS Lone is looking at her father's grave before she begins her journey. now in this game CT The woman who was found in the boat was holding a photo of Lone. My guess she is the mother of Lone and when the world "split" in two Lone went with her father while the lady stayed on the side of the world with ocean. Now I believe that when her father died Lone was on a journey to meet with her mother (The Lady from the painting). Now I don't know abt this part but there might be a chance the woman is also the mother of the playable character in this game and that Lone and the CT character may be siblings? I don't know abt the whole siblings part but I guess that's what a theory is really!

Sean: "This storm is way worse than the last game's." Last game's storm: *Literally a tornado*

Honestly Far: Distant Clouds would be an amazing third installment for this game. Instead of a plane, your little character has to take car of a giant airship.

Jack: "This ship is so much better than our last one!" Me: "You did not just disrespect Thomas like that."

"I just stood here all night looking at the lights? Why would I do that?" When I played I imagined that just for that moment, the world looked like the people were back.

It’s kinda interesting that Jack didn’t notice how the flag on the pole determined how much wind the ship was catching. If it was catching enough wind it would be at the top in the blue and the second sail would come down.

"Anyone who sat through the entire thing in one sitting..." I legit didn't even realize I'd been watching this for 4 hours. So relaxing, beautiful, and fun to listen to Jack.

Sean: "Guys! I don't understand the sail! Figure it out for me!" Guys: * understood the sail * Episode: * one and only, so guys can't help Sean * Guys: * nervously point at the screen hoping Sean will figure it out himself soon *

I feel like these developers could make an amazing train game, just a open world train game where you explore and pick up cargo and passengers, riding the rails to some great music

3:21:00, I love how Sean says “I’m talking to a buoy..” and then immediately gets an achievement that says “oh buoy” 😭

Jack: "I'm going to take this plant as far as I can!" *Plant falls into water less than 10 seconds later.* Jack: "and its gone." *plant sinking begging for Jack to come back and save it* Jack: "And moving on!"

"This is your captain speaking, shut up" I would LOVE to hear an airline pilot drop that line when we hit some serious unexpected turbulence.

I was literally thinking at the end that a co-op third game would be so fun! Or having to switch between the two characters depending on which "ship" you need to use to traverse the terrain.

Only Jack can overcomplicate something as simple as sails. With an indicator flag no less.

Jack: "I feel like I'm going to crash into things *a lot more* in this one." Jack in the last game: *Crashes into almost every single thing he could possibly crash into*

Jack trying to describe the scenery: "Definitely the Pacific Northwest. Up by Colorado. Maybe Portland?" Me, trying desperately to ignore the fact that he called an elk a deer: "CANADA."

Imagine if they make a third game in the sky and it’s these two adventuring together and maybe they eventually find a city with actual people in it. That would be so cool! Thanks for the fanatic let’s play, so fun to watch!

I love this game so much. Okomotive has a real sense of how to create a good story just using an environment and sound. They really captured what most cheaper games can't. It was a beautiful experience to play.

I always liked it when he recorded a full movie’s worth of footage for games. You can enjoy watching it with a snack or two!

As someone whos at through this one and the first one back to back straight it was such a amazing ride. Thank you jack for the experience i would have never gotten myself.

For everyone as curious as myself: Yes, at around 3:14:40 it's our ship "teleporting" from behind, visible for only a frame or two.

Any linear side scrolling game: exists Sean: THIS IS JUST LIKE INSIDE

I love that the first game takes place in an apocalyptic land where the water receded, and then this one shows where all the water went; to another land where the flooding caused its own apocalypse.

POND SOLUTIONS: You want to buy some pond dye for it. The seagulls can’t see through the water to see the fish. Also add in things like drift wood for the fish to hide under.

These games are metaphors for life, man. The long journey, the struggles, our parents leaving us behind and in the end it's really all about finding each other.

The ending of this game is actually sadder than i thought it would be, since the very start of the first one, lil firekid looks like they just buried their dad, and then in this one boatkid finds their mum(?) dead. the way they both stand their just looking at each other with less than joyful music, to me gives the vibe that they were both expecting to see the other parent. They can be deduced to be siblings as well since mum was found clutching a picture of firekid

"Far: Wayward Skies" would be a cool name for a game where you operate a hot air balloon or blimp-type vehicle and navigate between floating islands

I think my favorite part is Jack saying he'll take the plant as far as he can, knocking it into the water, and apparently forgetting that he can swim and dive in said water.

man i'd love to have a third one on an airship, that would be so cool

Honestly I could see the next game being a 2 player game. I think it would be fun to manage and control a giant ship or some sort of vehicle/mech with a friend

I wonder how long it will take Sean to realize that the dead lady he finds in the ice cave paddle boat was the mother of the other character holding a picture of the red character.

The fact that he played through the whole game without realizing there was a blue portion of the rope that the flag slides up and down to tell him how well his sail was positioned

Jack:so peaceful so far *not even five minutes later breaks something * Jack : we’re ok just a little dent

Thank you Sean. This series really helped me to sleep the past few days! I have insomnia, so it's a huge help. Thank you

For the sails: the little flag at the front 1: always pointed in the direction the wind was going in. 2: When it was at the top the extra sails would come out & give you a boost.

Ah the intro, that’s how you know it’s gonna be a good game. Energy is on fire.

21:08 I don't think that Sean realizes that Colorado is about as far away from the ocean as you can get lmao

I always love to listen to Jack’s commentary, advice, criticisms and appreciation at the end of a game. It makes me so glad that he’s enjoying the games he’s playing!! This was awesome :))

Sean: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Lamborghini made boats” Me: LAMBOATGHINI

The sheer volume I yelled "HONK THE HORN" when I realized they were going to meet and the lil person in blue was still on the tower at the end omg, my heart soared watching this. Wonderful experience!! :D

I sat through watching you play both games over the New Year. Amazing job Seàn! This was a masterpiece Duelogy.

Amazing game, the idea to connect the two games in such a beautiful way, is just wow. I get the same feeling from FAR series as I got from Journey or abzu, no dialog, amazing visuals, amazing music, that kind of games I would unironically call pieces of art. Even though they might not be long, like 3-4h they leave more of an impact on me, just the pure amount of emotion in such a short game. I just love that type of games.

Watching this game and listening to Jack is such a chill and relaxing experience

If there would be a far: sky bound it probably be a blimp. Just fits well with the theme of these games. Also glad Sean’s doing a non-horror game. Beautiful game and his commentary genuinely made me laugh.

Welp thought I was just gonna watch an hour or so then go to bed, but I ended up watching the whole thing in one go. Hopefully i wake up on time lol. You never disappoint Sean!

Can we talk about how amazing the art and music in this game is? Frickin beautiful.

Sadly couldn’t watch the whole thing in one sitting, so it took a couple days, but please do keep making longer videos like this, they’re my absolute favourite because they’re so chill to watch. Keep it up and do them when you can! I know its hard to find the time to, but its also totally fine that they dont come out as often as shorter videos

Jack: accidentally puts out furnace fire Also Jack: THERE’S GOTTA BE A WAY TO STOP THE ENGINE!

Man, the music in Changing Tides and Lone Sails is disarmingly beautiful, absolutely chilling! The arrangements really suit the game with perpetually driving rhythms and adventurous yet very ambient chords and melodies and a stunning timbral palette! Absolutely blown away! Only an hour into the video and I had to go back to dissect "Circling" in particual, the track at about 35:00 because it literally gave me goosebumps, and although I love almost any kind of music, game OSTs or soundtracks in general aren't usually what I turn to when I want to listen to something (meaning no disrespect as I find many OSTs to be much more beautiful and complex than a lot of other music). So glad Jack played this game as I probably wouldn't have come across it or it's music if it weren't for this gameplay, same goes for Lone Sails. This actually made my day, thank you so much!

Far Lone: Together sounds pretty cool for a third installment

"I'm gonna take this plant with me as far as I can" immediately kicks plant in water😂 so much entertainment from one man. You sir have a gift of bringing joy to us all

I just finished watching the FAR: Lone Sails play through today (I’d been meaning to watch it for weeks) and was wondering if you were still planning to do the sequel. What a happy coincidence

I can safely say this was a great series to watch for 7 hours Great work Sean

I always love finding the longer play throughs. Having this on well working has made the last almost 4 hrs fly by, and made what I doing feel a lot less tedious.

I watched Sean play the first Far and fell absolutely in love with it, so when I heard there was a sequel I immediately bought it and played through the whole game right away. I was so excited to see he was playing it, mostly because I couldn’t wait for him to see the ending. These games are SO amazing. The art, the story (which is somehow so poignant without ever speaking a single word), the characters, the “lore,” the imaginative universe, the color choices, the music, the mechanics, the way they teach you the gameplay without it feeling dumbed down.. it’s just such an incredible game series. Truly a work of art. I really hope they make a 3rd one that offers co-op with both characters or at the very least that one person gets to play as both characters doing different jobs on a mix-matched vehicle of some type. But, even if they don’t release a third. I’m so thankful they created the two they did. They’re brilliant and beautiful and just amazing.

The voice of youtube is still Jack. Always remember how much good content he has made.

33:09 jack(earlier): No! I can’t leave my boat behind. Also jack: I’m on this train now and screw the boat!

Love when Jack takes the time to just enjoy the quiet moments. Like when he took the effort to go under surface for the jellyfish out to enjoy it. And his little commentary over the moments feels like a friend talking to you.

Jack : "This must be a mining town, right ?" _(Looks at Giant Hole on The Mountain)_ "Praise be The Mountain Mouth !!!" [48:51] _This isn't just a Normal Mining Colony,_ _This is Middle Earth's Moria !!!_

Jack: *Brings a plant back* Me: *sees matching symbols on the plant and on what looks like a grow bed* "Oh! I guess he'll have to plant it!" Jack: *Hangs it up for storage* Me: "Okaaay.. He's almost there. Maybe the button there will do something. He'll figure it out" Jack: *Totally ignores new addition to the boat and said plant* Me: "He'll get it soon. He's a smart cookie" Jack: *moves plant to get burned* Me: "...jack?!" Jack: *BURNS THE PLANT!!!* Me: "JAAAAAACK!"

I love these type of videos you make jack. the indie genre, the story and that you played the whole game in one video. AND it was a lot of fun playing the game on my own synced to your video. Thank you very much.

I went back and watched the previous video like you said. Did NOT regret.

Jack: “shall I do it guys, Ultra Instinct?” *my focus increased 1000%* Jack: “never mind” *my heart breaks*

I love how he’s like “I just put out my fire” and then like two mins later he’s like “how do I cut out my engine?”

What a wonderful pair of games! Thanks for playing these Sean, big love.

Thank you very very much for playing both of the games, it's not often that I'm able to relax as good as I did when watching you play these games. Always blown away by games that tell a story well by just showing scenery and playing fitting music without a single spoken word.

Jack would make a great sailor, seeing a whale and yelling "THERE'S A BIG FISH! IT WANTS ME DEAD!"

9:44 “Winds Howling” Instant flashbacks to Geralt saying that in-game. 😂🐺🖤⚔️ Loving this game so far, I love the art style, the music and overall atmosphere it creates; I love it. 💜☺️ Edit: Thank you for the Heart Jack!! 💜 This is like, a first for me. When it comes to a big KZfaqr instead of a friend; it’s an honour all the same. Completely made my entire year and I’m just, so immensely happy right now. I’m almost 3hrs into the video and I’m still loving it~ 🎶🎶 Edit: LMAO WAIT- THE HEART IS GONE??!! I DIDN’T KNOW EDITING IT WOULD DO THIS AHHH. 😂😭 Aw well. Have a nice day everyone, stay safe and be well. 💜

I love the idea of each subsequent game in this series adding a new person to the group and it evolves into a story about finding community despite the hardships that prevede it.

Wow that's a masterpiece. These games are so unique and beautiful

the sail actually functions semi-realistically, surprising I was screaming for him to lower the sail during the storm though

Me: *hasn’t sleep good in 2 days because nightmares* Also Me: oh look a 3 hour long video by jack Jack: Stay and get a snack! Me: will do!

Amazed. I love playing with camera and when you zoom out and become just a tiny being in big dark ocean. Also love to discover how the ship in working, without any tutorial. Game evokes all kind of emotions. Great experience. Piece of art for shure.

watched it all in one sitting, same with the first one! i really enjoy these videos and i hope you find more games with this length! thank you for making spectacular content as always!!

Seeing Tomas again and the fact they took it with them makes me ungodly happy

Me watching Jack put out the engine fire: Huh. He can stop the engine at anytime. Me watching Jack wondering how to stop the engine: DUDE YOU LITERALLY JUST DID IT. Lol

Honestly watching it through one sitting was a great experience because it makes you keep track of everything yourself. Great video 10/10

Well, I just watched both of the videos for this game back to back. Very relaxing. I admit I played on my phone a bit and took a few breaks for food and what not. Thank you for showing them off to the world and keep up the good work!

They really made something special with these games. The atmosphere, the world building and environmental storytelling, it's a great series. And the art, truly amazing! I love the style.

Sunday+10 am+ 3 hour gameplay= A relaxing day

i absolutely love these full game playthroughs they are so nice to watch

As to how you play it alone, they can have it be like Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

I could totally see them making the third game, you’ve titled sky bound, and having an airship to manage!

This is such a calming yet, fantastical game. Thank you for the amazing let’s play Jack!

This is a beautiful game, thank you for posting this, just wonderful!!! This first Far was beautiful, too and yes i sat completely through both. I'd love to see more games like these. It's so peaceful

Putting this on to fall asleep at night is so perfect. Such a chill,relaxing video

“Someone needs to explain to me why wanting clean drinking water makes you an activist, and why proposing to destroy water with chemical warfare doesnt make a corporation a terrorist.” -Winona LaDuke (1959-, Planet Earth)

An hour into the game... Sean: "OK Everyone take 5" me: "Oh ok"... *pauses and goes to refill my snacks Sean told me to get at the start.*

I've loved watching you play these games, they're so chilled 😊 I hope they'll make another one, the art work and music is beautiful 😍

Reminds me of inside. Man I I wish I could go back to watching that for the first time. Good ole days

2:26:30 "Someone's gonna point out that there's a God who's crap at climbing as part of the religion" I mean, Hephaestus. Who was a cripple, was probably crap at climbing. Plus he was thrown off Olympus, which is, like, the opposite of climbing and thus caused him to be crippled.

With how these two games have been, I'm really hoping that they make a FAR : Roaring winds or something, where you have an airship type thing. That'd be SICK.

The ship took off like the car in Chamber of Secrets! 🤣 It. Is. Pissed. Lol

Only about an hour into this episode, but wanted to share my theory, so far. The first game showed two men, Henricksen Brothers, as being inventors and their name on some of the giant ships/vehicles. I believe global warming (or other global disasters) went out of control. Part of the world was left a barren, dry, wasteland and the other part flooded. One brother created ways to traverse the dessert and the other, the sea. The dessert tech uses a lot of red buttons and the water tech uses a lot of blue buttons, signifying each brother's design style. This was all intended to save mankind and usher in a better future, but their inventions only added to the problem (both the train and the boat require burning a lot of fuel), leaving to even higher flooding for the already waterlogged area and massive storms and weather imbalance for the dryer area. They had forgotten the past and repeated the same mistakes as those before them, and humans doomed themselves.

Jack: "I'm going to take this plant with me as far as I possibly can" *2 seconds later and the plant dies*

Séan: "it looks like the pacific northwest. With the trees and the mountains" Me (someone born and raised in the pacific northwest): "and flooded"

Home sick. Watched Jack play both FAR games straight through in a row. Very relaxing. Thankye.

I liked these FAR videos, you make them exciting and I enjoy the way your brain thinks and comes up with theories haha. Thanks for the videos, Jack!
