It wasn't retroactively categorized as a spinoff its a game with a completely different combat system set in a different universe from chronicles. To get rather nerdy this is the Vampire: The Requiem to Valkyria Chronicles Vampire: The Masquerade, Sure some of the names are the same but the content and gameplay are completely different.

Very good analysis. Many people are stuck with the first part of Luke's change (from brat to post-Akzeriuth selflessness) and say it's too sudden, but what they don't realize is that Luke's most important development is actually post-Akzeriuth to post-Tower of Rem. He goes from having absolutely no sense of self-worth (to the point of suicidal ideation) to having the will to live. And as a player, that was heartbreakingly beautiful to behold.

I still don't understand this franchise at all, but I am LOVING that shopkeeper!

Welcome back, dude. Glad you've been having a chance to play some fun stuff.

FFIV is the best, my favourite game of all time - I wish you were playing the original SNES version though

The biggest sadness was discovering Monster hunter would never makes its way to the Vita. I enjoyed them on the 3ds, but always thought how much better they would have been on the Vita where they belonged.

Some really good titles! I hope you will enjoy them!

Id reccomend Lost in Vivo for people looking for a good horror game. Very much Silent Hill inspired with exploring a kinda gross abandoned area with creepy unsettling atmosphere.

Im currently going through Sea of Stars. Im not super far into it but its just a really fun turn based rpg. Ive played alot of Last Guardian but for whatever reason just never finished it. I remember leaving off on a part about these pots with an aroma or something but had issues doing what i was supposed to and just quitting.

I felt the same about ghostwire, I just enjoyed the side quest the most since they felt like I was doing something since the main story was meh.

While I love FF4's characters I also don't think it's one of the best, the story is too short and the whole game feels like a giant cut-scene with the exception of the 2/3 bosses that actually require some thinking, HOWEVER The after Years is where the good stuff is at, I know a lot of people like to criticize the afters years as just a repeat of FF4 and maybe it is on a superficial level but The after years is much MUCH more than just a repeat, it enhances the gameplay aspect with QoL and it rewards exploration with better collectibles, it ramps up the difficulty of nearly every zone in the game making it harder to breeze through the game by just pressing A like in classic FF4, it introduces the combined attacks and lunar cicle mechanics, the bosses both new and old returning ones also get more HP which makes their unique mechanics actually relevant and harder to cheese with spells like Bio or Kain's Jump and the new characters are just as charming as the original cast and also enhance said original cast, all in all The After Years is easily Top 3 Classic Final Fantasy A side note: Good to see everything's goin well hope you can find a good balance between your family, work and this channel, cheers

Sekiro is kicking my ass. While XC3 Future Redeemed kicked my heart.

I've been on a pretty big retro RPGs kick lately! I've finished Earthbound and Link's Awakening DX on NSO for Switch, and I've been replaying Final Fantasy VII (PSone) a lot of the middle parts of the game I haven't seen since I was a kid, and I've been appreciating so much about it in both story and game design. I've also been working through Breath of Fire III, another childhood fave, but mybold disc was so screatched up I couldn't finish the game, but I finally got a working copy a while back, and I started Tales of the Abyss, which has been sitting in my backlog far too long

weirdly i loved ghostwire but i seem almost alone in that. i really enjoyed the virtual tourism aspect and reading about all the mythology in the game

Always good to hear from you! I’ve started playing Loop8 and am having a pretty good time with it so far. It’s like a little puzzle box that I can’t put down.

"The Last Guardian" To this day, I still don't know if I enjoyed it or not. I like the ideas, the atmosphere, and just the wonder of the setting. But actually playing it...yea-no. I haven't gotten so frustrated with a game since, funnily, doing the Hard Mode Time Trials for the PS3 version of "Shadow of the Colossus, the one with burked physics causing Wander to stumble constantly. "Ghostwire Tokyo" I still feel like I want to play this, especially in lieu of Tango Gameworks closing, but I just can't bring myself to. It gives me the exact same vibes as "The Evil Within" did. As silly as it sounds, I have some real scars of insecurity due to how much flak and ridicule I ended up getting for liking that game at the time, it scares me off from even bothering with this one. "No One Lives Under the Lighthouse" I've never played it but I did watch an analysis review of it by Pastra. It definitely seems like an interesting time. Very much a sort of experience you let gradually soak in.

Tark! Youre back!!!🎉 Heres some sugar for you

Just been playing Mario party with the fellas lately

I bought this, for science reasons

The Last Guardian is my favourite game of all time

I made it roughly 11 minutes into Ghostwire Tokyo and realized in the first 30 seconds that it wasn't for me.

Algorithm! I've been playing through Yakuza 3 on PS5, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky on PSP, and just started Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Switch. They are all incredible, just like the algorithm that suggests Tarks Gauntlet to people.

Hai tarks, do you know nanashi no game/the nameless game? If not, it's a (fan translated) weird horror game for the Nintendo Ds that you might like.

Platinum'd Sly 1 for the third time and I've started playing Daxter that's been fun. Until i got my hands on another certain game now nothing matters until that's done Was this this your first time playing FF4?

Game I've been playing? Hum.. ...🤔 Silent Hope. ( Repetitive but kinda addictive ) Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord ( You WILL rot blood ) Stranger from Paradise ( God this suck I didn't even finished it ... Go on people... throw me rocks😶) Monster Menu: The Scavenger's Cookbook ( it's bad. ) Trinity Trigger ( I was very disappointed ) Kuro no kiseki 2 ( It's amazing and addictive like freakin' cocaine ... oh Gods Kai no kiseki in September? Please stop Falcom ... No don't stop ...yes stop! NO DON'T Hook theses games in my VEINS! ) ( I think I need a Therapy )

PSP version of FF4 specifically has the Interlude as well. For what it may be worth.

Tarks Gauntlet upload!? I’m sitting my ass down and listening! Also glad to see how big a fan of The Lighthouse you are. It is also one of my favorite movies. I love all e of Egger’s films and can’t wait for Nosferatu

Great content dude! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these games and bringing it to new audience.

I take back my compliments from last video...weeb ❤

Why is everyone so wrong about Ghostwire?

After playing through endless ocean luminous, I've been going through games I've had in the backlog. First I played through valkyrie profile, which while a little confusing to get ending A, I absolutely loved it. I'm working on that mass effect trilogy now, still in ME1, but it's super engaging rn

2nd channel link returns 404 bro

Love you Tark. You're the best. And the best dad.

I think the wingleys were advanced humans and the whole god on earth or the earth for that matter were aliens the ship had literal moniters and the virgels were just robots

250 days, looking forward to the next one This charm of this Era is something I miss dearly. Looks almost like a must play to me

Don't know how I feel about this game. I loved it until I made it to the Infernal Castle. I hated every other part until I finished the last 16 level dungeon of the old school house. The game didn't know when to quit and there were waaaay too many boss fights. I just beat it and I am still angry about it because the game lied and said it was the final fight so many times only to throw in more and more boss fights at you. I can't see myself playing the game again because of that. That being said I loved the final ending and it made me cry. It was so emotional.

This is one game I'll be truly sad if it every completely disappears, and is one reason I believe game preservation must happen. It's only ever been on PS2 and 3DS, not the most accessible things anymore between the game, systems, and play ability comfort. I don't know how well to trust them to remake it anymore either, given things that happened to Symphonia. But I hope it gets another port, especially on PC, and more especially a good port. And with the same voices, don't redo that, it'll ruin the feeling of everything.

The biggest complaint I have to agree with is, if you want to fully experience this game, you basically need a guide. A good amount of the optional end game stuff is locked behind a side quest where you have to go back into a dungeon for no other reason than to meet an NPC, a dungeon you walk by like 50 times over the course of the game, and there's like a single plot point A to plot point B window to do it. Then you have to meet this NPC again in a town with no prompting inside another very small window of time. If you mess up either of these, you can't see about 25% of the game.

I've never gone looking for reviews of this game, but I also almost never see anyone putting one up in recommendations. This game has possibly ruined many other games for me by not being as good to me by comparison.

That King Arthur game did little on its own to give itself a chance sadly. It's sad what happened to Enix games, because I knew of Enix as the company that made some very good games. Some bad ones, too, but they were a company I went to for their oddities

Oh man! I thought you were gone. Your videos are fantastic. You give great reviews and I find myself liking a lot of similar things. Thank you, sir.

As a single player game, Jet girls isn't much unless you just wanna check it out. But for Time Attack and Online play it's super fun and plays as it was intended.

Japan's media is just as (((taken over))) as western media with filth it seems.

ah,so the waifus are only decorations and only use two guys?...pass

Really awesome video! I finally dusted off my Vita this week and modded it. The modding and homebrew scene for the vita is so excellent and still quite active! People are figuring out ways to port new titles to the system and emulation continues to improve year after year.

This game is just so definitely my jam. The special brand of late PSP character models and environments, the light-hearted tone, the little attention to detail. This game just holds a certain joyfulness that's really hard to quantify, in a way that really is similar to Megaman Legends or Grandia
