Hey all! I'm Rio, and I make videos about my favorite game series. I have four ongoing series at the moment.
Why You Should Play- Where I talk about games I've completed and enjoyed and why others should play them.
Why I'm Excited For- Where I talk about upcoming games that have caught my eye
Next Game Up (formerly known as Sequelitis)- Where I theorize about future games in series I'm invested in
Character Analysis- Where I discuss particular video game characters and why they're great
There are some other videos I make as well that don't fall into those categories, but for the most part, those are the videos I make.

Why You Should Play Trails Through Daybreak
The Calvard arc has finally arrived with a new hybrid combat system, an updated arts system, a graphical improvement from the engine switch, and a new tale with new characters to fall in love with. And fall in love I did, 80+ hours later here I am to explain why you should also play Trails Through Daybreak.

Why I'm Excited For Visions of Mana
Просмотров 48014 дней назад
The demo recently came out, so now it's time to talk about Visions of Mana. The first new Mana game since 2006, is this a triumphant return that will blow us all away, a stumble in the series path back, or as I think a fun but flawed game that will be a good but not great time.
5 RPG Series I Haven't Played...Yet
Просмотров 47021 день назад
We all have those game series we have yet to get to even though people keep insisting it's a great series or that we would love the games. It's not because we think they're wrong (okay most of the time it's not) but there are many factors. Well here is my list of 5 RPG series I have yet to play, but do intend to play in the future at some point.
Why You Should Play Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes

It's been a long time coming and as you can tell, I've got a lot to say about this game. Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes is a good game most of the time and a real treat for fans of the Suikoden series who have been waiting so long for another series to take up the mantle.

Reupload since there was an error in the previous video. Less than a month until Daybreak overs Calvard. I and many other have been enjoying the demo recently, but the full game is still a little ways away. There is plenty to talk about and getting hyped for so let's talk about Trails Through Daybreak
Why You Should Play Unicorn Overlord
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 месяца назад
There are few RPGs I would describe as addicting but Unicorn Overlord is one of them. I was always ready for more and that plus having it on Switch made it very easy to spend lots of time on the game. The return on my time investment was a fun game with a standout visual presentation and plenty to consider on how to make a fun strategy RPG. You should try out the demo if you have not already.
Why You Should Play Against The Storm
Просмотров 4343 месяца назад
I just keep coming back to this game since it came out of Early Access. Even with all the other games coming out Against The Storm captured me and won't let me go entirely. A city-building rogue lite with an incredible atmosphere and a game loop that favors my favorite stage of city building it's no wonder Against The Storm is one of my favorite indie games of the last year.

This is a reupload due to an error with exporting the previous video, thank you for your patience. While the Beta was a fun experience it has left me wanting more, and we still have some time to wait, so let's get everyone hyped up. Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes is coming very soon and I'm hoping everyone else is as excited as I am for the game. Twitch link: www.twitch.tv/commrio
Why Kevin Graham Is A Great Character

How do you follow up Estelle Bright one of the best video game protagonists of all time? Well if you're Nihon Falcom you go with Kevin Graham, a character who is just as rich and complex as Estelle with a beautiful and gut wrenching story in Trails in the Sky the 3rd. In this video let's remember Kevin (because Falcom can't) and his journey from Trails in the Sky Second Chapter to Trails in the...
Why You Should Play Nier Automata

Nier Automata is a meaningful game in many ways from its history and backstory bringing the Drakengard series to a larger audience as well as saving Platinum Games from bankruptcy to the game itself. The gameplay is smooth and the writing thoughtful, if you can handle some design elements that are (purposefully) a little obtuse Nier Automata will be a highly worthwhile experience for any RPG fa...

Why You Should Play Baten Kaitos Origins
Просмотров 8456 месяцев назад
It's definitely not easy to follow up your first game with an equally good second game with a different publisher and a reduced budget. Thankfully Monolith Soft and tri-Crescendo were up to the challenge and made Baten Kaitos Origins a fun game and a worthy successor to Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

Why You Should Play Trinity Trigger
I already bought the game. I am just 4 games behind still. It could take a while. I have so many other RPGs still to play. Like Rune Factory. I even got the one on the Wii with the Protag from the first game. I can not play Tides of Destiny though, because every Wii copy is American and I live in Europe. Trails is great though. I hope I can play Daybreak in a timely manner.
Thanks for the overview. I got the game on release day to support the devs, but i still need to finish CS4 and Reverie. Might not be till next year before i get to this, but it's good to know i have something good to look forward to.
This game blew me away with all the new things introduced. I loved all the characters, the new combat mechanics, Calvard itself, it was all amazing! The English cast also KILLED it with their performances. SO worth the wait!
I laughed at loud at the "WHERE ARE MY ROYALTIES?" when I played Reverie. Thanks for including it at a very relevant part of the video 👍 Also, one note of correction -- if you press a button during battle (L2 on PS4), you can see the extended turn order, unfortunately not cast times but everything else. Not sure what the key is for PC but it should be in one of the help tutorials
I finished azure recently and will play cold steel 1 soon so the time will come
Hope you've been enjoying the ride so far
@@CommRio ty it has been crazy so far
I think FE awakening was popular because people got 30$ in credit for the nintendo shop in America and it could stack
While that would help explain the US popularity, the game sold incredibly well in Japan as well without the same credit
I went back and forth over being excited for this game. The trailers didn't really interest me, and the setting was a bit jarring. Then I played the demo and loved it so much that I could barely wait until the full release. I definitely enjoyed it, but do feel like it's a bit overhyped. A few chapters did start to drag, and after 10 games, some bits just got stale. One thing I definitely appreciated was the stronger villain presence in this game.
I will say I don't think the trailers have been at their best recently for Falcom games. I wish that weren't the case, but I think it's an unfortunate weakness of NISA as a company
I'm currently doing my new game+ run of the game to collect all the trophies I couldn't get in my first play through and the game is fantastic. I have the same nitpicks as you do, the voice acting and the turn order, and in other games, this might be a deal breaker, but trails does everything else so well that it's merely a minor annoyance. Here's the single thing I can say about trials: this franchise has ruined gaming for me. Trying playing another JRPG, or another game, after playing trails, when your bar for world-building, story and characters has been set so high, and be disappointed as other games fall so short of what trails accomplishes every time. For a guy who plays games for story, trails ruins the experience of other games by comparison.
Totally agree. FF16 felt stupid. 🤷♂️
I'm guessing the thing with the voice acting not getting extra dub lines like Reverie was due to NISA prioritizing getting Daybreak 2 out quicker what with the surprise early 2025 release date.
I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. It would also be very nice if once this mad dash to catch up is done they can go back and do some additional voiced lines
I played the game back in 2022 with a fan patch and loved it, though after replaying it in English i honestly loved it even more that i did a NG+ playthrough to finish off achievements (only two more to go on Steam at least) but overall i think this game is a 8.5 or 9 out of 10, it has so much going for it and i can’t wait to see the next game
We won't have to wait long
I'm about 20 hours in but then diverted back to trails in the sky since I'm a complete beginner 😅
Can't go wrong with that, the Sky games are also fantastic
Don't worry, I plan to. I'm just not there yet (currently near the end of Cold Steel 2)
No problem, take your time, enjoy the ride!
Haha I’m about to finish sky 3rd I’ve got a long way to go 🫱🏽🫲🏾
What you thinking so far? I also recently beat the trails games til CS 4 and honestly Trails 3 I loved the gameplay but the story started to lose me because I feel it's to light hearted.
Bru the secondary jobs were all broken
I always get excited for a new tales game, then I play it for 20 minutes and the first boss battle reminds me why i did care for the series to begin with...
Keep in mind this game is woke. VERY woke. So if you dont enjoy silly trans nonsense - be aware. But in the "West" people are forced to approve woke or get cancelled, so of cource it has positive reviews.
Ot3 : each character main job should be exclusive for them, plus their exclusive main job can be upgraded twice for example from a thief to assassin to master assassin. For their secondary job it should be other jobs non exlusive to them that can also be upgraded but only once instead of twice. Also they should improve the game meshes and textures into more highly detailed game with ultrawide support. The game is already great in the first one then massive improvement in the second one. Cant wait for the third one. I assume as early as early 2016. That or bravely default 3 then octopath traveler 3 somewhere in 2018. But people like octopath traveler IP more than bravely IP so we'll see.
Excellent video my friend! Im glad you are looking forward to this one!
Gamecube: tech glitch, 60fps smoother combat arts and also easier to dodge bosses and monsters attacks, audio volume with music, sfx, voices is all normalized and audio is higher quality kbps and no annoying s’s when people are talking with the s letter in it. Ps2 and ps2 being ported to all consoles and pc: 30fps combat arts seem not very smooth and harder to dodge boss and monster attacks, audio is crazy loud and lower audio quality and s’s sound like crap when people are talking with letter a letter s in a word, Casino has terrible chances so you are better off farming gald and just playing it for fun if you don’t mind losing a ton especially the slot machines, no tech glitch for both s and t arts, only two added cinematic scenes in the whole entire game which lasts for about 4-10 seconds which is getting the thing to fly in the game for first time and said character getting a power I will not spoil both of which are added in first half of the game, wrong character talking in very few scenes in later half of the game I think one was in Falnoir and another somewhere else which is jarring to hear someone talking in another character’s body, text errors that was never fixed from the ps2 game such as concentration saying in ( ) that it is not always affective which was a mistype that is only in the ps2 game and was messed up thinking it acted like glory which it doesn’t concentration never gets interrupted and the gamecube version words it correctly says Concentrate and to the right it says <constant> and then below Concentrate it says this: Avoid staggering while casting And yes I still my tales of symphonia on my gamecube in my house to this day, just played it yesterday and yes concentrat 100% of the time never hets interupted a very useful and helpful Compound Ex Skill especially if playing on the hardest difficulty.
Loud audio that you complain about is from the ps2 port of this game, Namco only upped the graphics from the ps2 port, they never changed anything that came from the ps2 it has been proven from people on the pc deep diving into the pc port. If you wan to play with audio at the right volume and 60fps and tech glitch to be able to have t and s arts you need to play on Dolphin or gamecube. You should not buy another port of this version it is a pile of crap and every new port is getting more new bugs and problems, not to mentioned the first tower in beginning of game meeting Remiel for first time the scene is missing a couple boxes worth of dialogue that they never add in and it makes it makes it a crappy boring scene and makes less sense.
Never been a huge fan of Mana, but I want to give this a shot. Just waiting on a proper PS5 to play it on
This video should be titled Why you SHOULDNT play ToS. 90% of what you talk about is negative??
nicely done
Might wait until price drop
Makes sense
Really excited for this game, but as always, the biggest problem is that there are more great games coming out than I have time to play. I haven't played Gran Blue Fantasy or Elydan Chronicles Hundred Heroes yet, not because both games don't look fantastic, but because there just isn't enough time to get to all of these.
Oh of course, time is the limiting factor. I've thankfully gotten to the point where it's not too bad for me, but that's just in preparation for Ys X and Metaphor ReFantazio in October
@@CommRio Question I've always wanted to ask a youtuber: do you have a day job? What I don't get is how you can have a day job, be a youtuber, spend time with your friends and family, sleep and still have a lot of time for gaming. My day job is incredibly demanding, as it is for a lot of people, and so I have to pick and choose what games I play. I played Yakuza Like a Dragon last Christmas but haven't started Infinite Wealth yet, which really sucks. My gaming time right now is trails as the first priority and then I'll get to anything else only after trails is done. I'm in the last chapter of Daybreak right now (first playthrough) and it's taken me this long to get here because my day job has taken up so much of my time and attention the last six weeks. It gets like that sometimes, when a lot of things are due at once. Is that what life is like for you too?
@@SuperSupersoda I'm more than happy to answer. I do have a day job, it is a more administrative job which means there are some down moments that I usually use to answer comments and write some of my scripts. Otherwise though it is about trying to be purposeful with my time, and it's not easy. This year I've been struggling with it more than usual because my job has been more demanding than my previous one, but I'm dedicated to the channel that I have built and at this point certain tasks don't take as long as they once took me because I've upgraded my computer and improved my own efficiency and skills. My Daybreak situation is somewhat reminiscent of yours. I finished the game last weekend and part of that is because I went abroad on vacation for a week almost immediately after the game released. I do tend to only be able to prioritize one game at a time. Now that Daybreak is done then I can use this time before Visions of Mana releases to concentrate on getting the Daybreak video done. That's the plan at least. Hope this gives some insight, thank you for the comment and questions!
There's a pretty lady in a leotard and honestly these days that's all you need to get me to sign on for your videogame.
I played the demo and just didn’t feel it at all. I was excited too, maybe I’ll give it some time and see how it goes.
Hey that's what the demo is for, and not every game is going to work for every person. If you do end up getting it I hope it exceeds your expectations, but no pressure
I loved this demo so much! the combat and exploration felt SO perfect to me, a nice breezy summer action JRPG. I ended up buying Trials of Mana (it's great) and preordering this one, so I guess you can say yeah it was an effective demo lol I do have to say I'm a little surprised at people saying the combat feels clunky? I believe them but I am VERY sensitive to this kind of thing in ARPGs and it really didn't bother me. I think compared to some action RPGs that get very heavily praised for their combat but are far, far worse in how clunky they feel (cough cough! FF7R! cough cough cough cough!), this one is fine/good. it's not quite Ys but what is. I really enjoyed playing the girl with the fans. my biggest issue is that the Morley guy (is that his name) is so uncanny valley and I will be swapping him out of my party immediately. I also agree the faces are just a little off in general but I like the diversity.
That is a very effective demo it seems. Glad Trials is working for you as well, after Visions I may go back to Trials depending on how I'm feeling. FF7R is an interesting case because some of it is inevitable because of the hybrid system but then Daybreak and Metaphor are trying to do that mix but smoother. I'm curious what platform you played the demo on? I've found platform differences to be significant. You got his name right, and I get your point. I can't leave Kaiji Tang's voice out of my party though so he'll stick around for me
@@CommRio I was shocked to see it was him, I love Kaiji Tang haha. also I played the demo on the Steam Deck and the only technical issues I had was getting stuck under the boat during the boss fight. no frame drops I noticed (and these are the things I usually notice)
Can’t wait either!
Won't have to wait too much longer thankfully
Nice 👍
I hope the performance does ok. Unreal engine has been a bit frustrating this generation... Granted a game's success isn't purely tied with it's performance, but if all the jittery performance shudders make me motion sick, that's no good. How does this compare to Trials of Mana remake??
I didn't have any performance issues with the demo but I know my experience is not universal. As compared to Trials of Mana what I've heard is that Trials had the better gameplay system certainly. Voice performance is much better for Visions, and after that is a little hard to tell this early on
My first reaction is "why the hell do you want a novelization of a game?" Go play the game!
Great analysis! I think this is actually why I had such a strong reaction to Date's AINI fate. I felt like it rolled his character back a lot after such an incredible arc. This game is painfully underrated, so much that I didn't even know it existed until I finished Zero Escape and was looking for more games by the same person. Went in 100% blind, best decision ever. What a great game, and what a great cast of characters. I think AINI has some fantastic moments in it and some good characters in it, but AITSF is the superior game and I think Date as a protagonist is central to why it works so well.
There's plenty I love about AINI, but I do also agree that it did a disservice to Date's character (and Mizuki's but that's a whole nother matter).
Great video for a great game! glad you made it so I can subscribe your stuff looks awesome!
Happy to have you here!
Why you should play Ys 8: A blue haired magical dragon girl from dinosaur times with two wives kills the existential concept of evolution and becomes a God. Which is such a fucking ludicrous main plot that you'll forget all about the GHOST PIRATE SHIP.
This was a great analysis/video and I'm super glad RUclips recommended it to me!
I'm glad RUclips recommend it as well
Out of all the characters from the Tales of series I really feel bad for Velvet. I mean my christ she has went through so much pain & trauma in her life & on top that been betrayed by the person that she somewhat looked up to. Well at the very least Velvet did got her revenge & saved the world from turned into emotionless slains so...yay
OT3 needs these things to be a perfect game (in my mind: More crossed paths. The way you described crossed paths sounds amazing. Side quests that require multiple path actions to subtlypush players into actively changing their team formation. Formation needs to be available earlier on and would help the first two points greatly. I always felt like my four characters were distant from the four that aren’t active. But, have formations earlier and having party members drop in and out would be amazing. Combo attacks and combo path actions. I know they are thinking about this because the OT1 case has them in their fights. Latent actions are amazing, but I was really coming into OT2 expecting combo attacks because it seems so obvious. Combo attacks would also help the first three points. As, characters can grow closer together in story and that be shown in combat. Secret jobs that are a mix of “you need to find the weapon to unlock the skill” and “you need to beat this mini-boss to unlock the class.” Basically. A mix of OT1 and OT2.
For Final Fantasy I definitely recommend playing FF9
Nah, Date and hitomi are an awful match I'm glad the game didn't push it too hard in the end
I like the Ys games, but never gave the Trails games a try because I'm not very interested in turn-based combat. I'm also overwhelmed by the amount of Trails games out there. I did try this one, however, since there's a demo on PS5, which gave me over 9 hours of play time with the game. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, though mostly because of the world and characters rather than combat. Combat at least gives the real-time option. The cutscenes were oddly inconsistent on which characters had actual spoken dialogue. It was oddly inconsistent on WHEN they'd have spoken dialogue as well. Still, that's not anything I can't work through. When the game goes on sale, I may try getting this one.
I wish you the best of luck when you do get around to Daybreak. As for the voices yeah that's a Falcom problem and unfortunately is getting worse as their scripts get longer. It was even present in Ys 9 but not as bad as Trails. We'll see how it goes for Ys X later this year.
Well, I'd like to give it a try, but how to do that without tracking down a working Dreamcast or Gamecube and finding a physical copy of the game, I dunno. 😅 Maybe emulation, but I've never done that before.
One idea I have for a secret job would be spell sword. This job would add a physical weapon strike of your choice to everyone’s elemental attacks. I say go for new jobs that really shake things up.
.hack holds such a special place in my heart, such a shame they've been so neglected for so long. I recently played them back on emulator and there are definitely some significant rough spots that could be smoothed over really nicely by a modern remake. GU is good, looking forward to your thoughts if you ever play it. The story is mostly independent but is for sure referential to the original series, curious to see what your impressions would be playing it without that context, could be fun!
It's been fun seeing the .hack fans come out of the woodwork for this video. Makes me glad I included it and excited about playing it in the future
I love Wandersong so much
Grant you there's plenty that I haven't played either but going to the Final Fantasy portion; I would play four first. Not a super long game. Good story. Character building. The first game to use the ATB system. For somebody who has never played one, that would be my suggestion.
Thank you for the suggestion. I've got lots of options for when I do finally play a Final Fantasy game.
Honestly, I have a lot of games I want to try as well. However, There are two problems. 1. Some of them aren't on PC, Which prevents me from playing them. 2. They're expansive. Too expansive. I usually wait for a discount, And even then, The price is still high. Why Is it so hard for them to release old games on PC?
Your guess is as good as mine. There are many games that deserve a second life and PC would easily provide that, but sadly it doesn't seem to be in the cards
Sometimes, the problem when porting old games to PC isn't that it's hard to do, but that the big shots don't think it's worth doing it. As simple as that.
@@Javifaa Yeah, You're right. It's a shame, But I understand them.
I quit FF after FF 12, so I'm right there with you. The golden age FFs: 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are five of the best games of all-time, but the thirteen trilogy, 15 and 16 are uninteresting to me. Yakuza and Altelier are both worth playing. I played Ryza 1 and Like a Dragon and those are two entry points that won't leave you confused over overwhelmed. Ryza 1 is a new story and doesn't have that many connections to previous games. Like a Dragon is much more connected to the previous Yakuza games, but it's completely manageable. Starting with the 7th Yakuza games is nothing like starting with the 7th trails game; you'll be fine starting with Like a Dragon. One thing I would add though: the mini-games in Like a Dragon are, in my opinion, not that good. Feel free to skip them; they're fairly simple, but they're grindy as all hell and they always manage to overstay their welcome because you have to keep playing them to the point of it being painful before you get a good prize.
It does seem like my instincts have been correct on Atelier and Yakuza, but we shall see if anything changes in the time before I play.
I CANNOT recommend the Yakuza series enough. You can easily start with 7 since it's a whole new cast. If you do want to do the Kiryu storyline then start with 0 it does a fantastic job of leading you into the first game and it's also arguably one of the best in the series period. Also don't worry about side content they are all goofy and just a bit of fun. The main story you'll finish in around 14 hours or so and it's epic from start to finish so many twists and turns.
I think 0 was the only other one I really considered starting with because of how much praise it's gotten (and there was a time when it was the best available Yakuza game on PC)
4:22 A JRPG player getting cold feet because the game might be long 😂
Dope video my friend! .Hack is a series I want to come back so bad! I definitely recommend it! If you ever get around to it, I’d love to see your review of it! It’s crazy there’s no way to play the original dot hack games, absolutely ridiculous
Thank you! CyberConnect2 definitely has interest in bringing it back, so it's really Bandai Namco which does not make me feel optimistic but we can still hope
