Kinda weird how ProJared never made a series retrospective of the games. Also, I see you did the whole game in the Game Boy game; so why didn't you play the remake on Game Boy Advance?

17:35 AHA AHAHAHAHAHA (screams & psyholaugh)

Me watching this while stationed in Germany and getting called out for being a military man

Are you using music from Y's Book?

Were you a space hamster fan

Bravely Default's 4x Boss Gauntlet thing pretty much turned me off from the rest of the series. Not sure if any of the others are actually any good or not: I refuse to play them after what the first one did.

Genshin Impact is not a JRPG, game is from China

Ok cool now do final fantasy R

Star Ocean for PS games 1-5 1 Never played 2. For P.S.2 I like it. Liking the remake of number 2 3 was okay got stuck halfway through. 4 was garbage 5 was okay

I’ll play anything tri-ace puts out in hopes of radiata stories 2

TEOT brought a lot of us in and has almost an unlimited play time.

I LOVED Tales of Arise, but I had to quit after the part where you take the Starship. It got SOOO boring.

The fact that this video ended with a “the pizzas here” truly shows how there is no game like final fantaky,

Sumo? 😂😂

dunno what you talking about. midgar tutorial and multiverse crap. game is crap stupid.

Hmm

Tails of arise combat great microtransactions suck in my God. The story and characters are awful. Specifically, rinwell pissed me off the most that last part of the game where they try to give her an arc Oh my fucking god there was no ark and he just was acting like an idiot. I was extra salty because it was a real whiplash coming off of Xenoblade 3. Just before

Great video! The one thing when it comes to the Secret of Mana remake that I wish more people were aware of is how it straight up uses assets from the Adventure of Mana remake that Square-Enix did on mobile and Vita. Granted, not everyone is aware of it's existence and I do wish that it would've been released on more platforms solely so more people would know a out it, but setting that aside, I played through most of the Secret of Mana remake (got to the final dungeon and had to stop cause I had a medical emergency and never got a chance to go back to finish the game). And I 100% agree with all of the complaints people have about it. When you compare it to the Trials of Mana remake, THAT is what we should have gotten instead of a lazy attempt at a remake. I personally don't have an issue with it being more one to one in terms of how they remade Secret of Mana, I just wanted it to be better than what it turned out to be.

Sadly you can never experience the fact that there was nothing out there like this.. it was new and AMAZING... we had FF for Nes but this was the 1st for Gameboy and it was AWESOME!!!

damn there are some unexpected title/franchise in here 😅, made me want to try them out see if i will have the same opinion as you. Great video!

I didnt think it was that bad. Like yeah its not amazing or anything but it was fun for a gameboy game. Also I love the music in this game lol

This game really set the stage for Link's Awakening and the Oracle Games; as well as setting a solid precedent of story/plot before the golden quad of SMRPG/FF VI/CTrig/Earthbound hit. Granted, it looks rough TODAY; but it was an experience in it's time. I'd always wished they'd make an NES port of this.

Edge Maverick is the Jesus of Star Ocean.

I like Remakes of FFVII, but i still hope that someday, Square would wanted to milk it more and they would create True Remake, and all fans, normies will be pleased and Square as well. They could do that, cuz it's VII

I also know the twist of till the end of time... And I don't know how I feel about it...

The Gold Standard for remakes will always be The first Resident Evil remake for me. Created not because of a cash grab and or/creative bankrupt motive rooted in today's nostalgia industry, but because in the span of 6 years the hardware advanced so much that a game made with so much compromises of the early 3D hardware of PS1 could be remade to be movie-like with deeper mechanics, the entire content of the original game, and new content added at the right spots in the history. The same director created the game he wanted originally, which made it possible to respect and improve the original's vision, artstyle and overall vibe while not being a carbon copy. The remakes of today are money hungry reimaginings or quasi carbon copies (because muh censorship for modern audiences are the only differences). The industry completly lost its "sauce" and muddied the concept of Remake, perfectly executed by Capcom in 2002, to be basically the same thing in the movie industry. A cashgrab directed at people with low attention spans and with no respect to the original or interesting and substantial new ideas.

after finishing ff7r, i stoped buying squaresoft games. the story changes are some modern multiverse bs. dont think they are capable on writing good storys. just some nice nostalgia graphics and boring filler sidequests. as far as i know it got only worse in rebirth. good for people who liked it. i think they have no taste.

Kirby super star ultra is the best remake of a video game I've seen

People who bash FF13 only do so because they are too unintelligent to understand it

One of my favourite games of all time (Dead rising, which is made by capcom) recently got announced that it’ll be getting a “deluxe remaster” and it had me thinking about what makes a good remake as it it’s being labeled as a remaster? But it clearly feels like a remake and I came across this video. It was a good watch

I have to say Crash and Spyro look accurately as they were from their original trilogies. Toys for Bob made it possible.

I think hd-2d remakes completely misses the point of how to remake a 2d game.

As soon as you said 9 > 7, I knew I could never subscribe to you.

Live A Live ❤

Living in germany I actually had the Daddy Nier Version and thought for a looooong while I played the one and only version. Was great, though. Except for the throphy material grinding. Never play the Replicant version. Was it really that different? Just thought you play Bro instead of daddy.

Frankly the idea of remakes for any creative endeavour is, to put it crudely, creatively bankrupt. Don't get me wrong I have thoroughly enjoyed many remakes like Resident Evil 2 but outside of accessibility I struggle to see the creative value of remakes OVER making something new. (I obviously see the monetary value though) But even when it comes to the standpoint of technical limitations, that argument doesn't really hold up as for one the final work is a product of its time and limitations, it's a part of its identity and you will never be able to please every original fan for any remake. Almost every developer was not even considering certain technologies of today to implement in their work in the past. For example it's not a technical limitation for OG FF7 to not have voice acting, that wasn't even a consideration. You really don't see this almost disrespect to the history of a medium outside of videogames. No ones telling anyone to wait for a remake for a film, book or anime they'll just tell you to experience it now. I loved playing FF7 Rebirth and it's currently my GOTY but I can't help but lament that this could of just been a new game instead.

Rebirth, my favorite game of all time for all the ambitious things it did right.

Love this video! Artbooks like this inspired me to go back to school to get a second BA in Illustration, hoping one day to have my own artbook to inspire others the way these artists inspired me!

1:01 Remaster ≠ Remake

Yeah okay but OoT is different from FFVII in that the reason it's still praised today isn't just its impact on its own series, genre and industry as a whole, but also that most of its game design still holds up just fine. Like you said, FFVII hasn't aged as gracefully. I think an OoT remake would have to be an epic, huge reimagining to an extent, but also retain far more of the original experience than what you're proposing. For example, stuff like the tiny, empty Hyrule Field or the lackluster side content would be expanded upon, but things that still work and are endlessly praised, like the dungeon design, would best be left largely untouched.

I LOVE THE STAR OCEAN LOVE. HELL YEA (Pls square release Blue Sphere on modern platforms plsplspls)

My favorite type of remakes basically use the framework of the original but overhaul *everything* to the point that it’s a completely different experience. I think Resident Evil 2 and Final Fantasy 7 achieved this so damn well because they had at least 20 years of innovation in game design and graphics technology to plug into it. So many remakes now feel unnecessary because the gulf between it and the original is so small that it’s barely distinguishable at a glance - Demon’s Souls and Shadow of the Colossus being apt examples; it’s just the same game again but prettier, which isn’t worth the asking price if you ask me.

I disagree that some old games “need” remakes. Just make modern ports and create something original.

Resident evil remakes crying in the corner 😂😂😂😂

I'm surprised that you didn't bring up the DS remakes of Final Fantasy III and IV when talking about the other FF games. While the pixel remaster equivalents are better known and offer smoother gameplay experiences, I enjoyed those versions of the games for their minor but meaningful story additions and their more dynamic presentation. In fact, I think the DS remake of IV is my preferred version - the inclusion of voice acting and having different battle mechanics make it a distinctly different experience from the og, PSP or PR versions of IV, but playing it still feels like you're playing FFIV. After being let down with several of the changes that VII R (mostly on the Rebirth side of things) offered, I hope that the long rumored IX remake is more like IV. That's not to say that drastic remakes are a bad thing, however. I mean, *technically* the version of FF XIV that everyone is playing and adores right now is a remake, an entire structural overhaul of a game that isn't legitimately available anymore, and one that turned the most unpopular entry in the mainline series to one of the most beloved

Using the pokemon remakes as a segue is genuinely fascinating. With each of the older entries it really felt like the games were being brought up to the modern standard. And then when BDSP shows up they just lost that plot. It's a prime example of throwing a game out against it's contemporaries completely unprepared. A set of games I think really shows how these reimaginging/translations/remake whatever you call it across the whole spectrum is the Harvest Moon Back to Nature/ Friends of Mineral Town connection. One is effectively a 2D remake of the other and yet it's that one that got the 3D switch port. Mind that's with a pair of ports/ alternate versions in the middle.
