This game is the best I like it in nes I have to complete love it love it

Huge open world with day-night cycle and monsters everywhere coming out at night with only the tent being a safe haven, weather with rain fog sun and more, perfect monster hunts - this was the best (and most Witcher3-esque) Final Fantasy ever made. Only good memories! I have the Steelbook for PS4 and bought it on Steam too. One of the best games ever made.

why are you playing FOREIGN games if you're american? are you not a patriot? why do you love the japanese so much? we should deport you for encouraging sick foreign immigrant culture

Great video! I wish that you would also mention the platform of each game that you talk about. But it's so cool how many games you played, and how you can remember so much about each game to make this video! 😃

I've always thought lower numbers were best. Big numbers look "impressive" but I find that I scratch the surface and it really tends to shut down thinking about what the bigger numbers actually mean. With smaller numbers, It's easier to do the math in your head and easier to conceptualize, and ultimately that means what is being communicated is more meaningful. This is definitely an advantage DQ has over other RPGs.

Final Fantasy V took a long time for me to appreciate. My first playthrough, I felt like I had to master the wind crystal jobs before getting the Water Crystal jobs, and so on. That playthrough was a massive, boring, never-ending grind and I didn't even make it past Karnak. Then for my next few attempts, I felt like I had to find a great place to grind and rush there and master most of the jobs. That was not quite as terrible, but I did all of the grinding at once and that eventually killed that run for me. (Jericol cave, and then when I was more sophisticated, Galuf's castle were endpoints for those runs). It wasn't until I decided that I wasn't going to master more than 3 jobs for any character that I ever made it to the end. After that, I liked it a lot, and have gotten to the end a few times.

I personally found bianca distasteful - nera is great but i was caught between nera and deborah - i just thought that nera would be better for the children gen imo, nera has the best chats - she's a bit like my wife was when we first got married until i helped build her confidence - and i see nera grow like i saw my wife, it's hard not to love her, lol only thing that bothers me about dq 5 - you're aware of what happens when you're stoned, but your wife isn't, to her, no time has passed (granted, neither of you aged, but found that inconsistent)

What a wild coincidence. I was just playing the saturn release of Dragon Slayer last night, and this shows up in my feed today.

Game is terrible. Had it in the 90s. Gave up due to soft locking myself. Tried it again a few days ago. What a pile of crap. Every fcking thing poisons you. The mazes are long and annoying and the frequent encounters make it unbearable to explore. Having to talk to npcs in a specific order was lame. The fact there are line 15 enemies and they just palette swap them with the same attacks sucked. No idea what swords or armor to buy and with how limited money is you can easily buy garbage. The spells don't have descriptions and that sucks as well. Having to fight 4 of everything in the end was meh. Now I know why I walked away from this back in the day. If they toned down the encounters and made it so that you couldn't attack multiple times in a row or get attacked multiple times in a row by the same enemies it would have been better.

V and Tactics are my favorites because of the job systems

I'm heavily biased when it comes to this title. Being my favorite JRPG, I tend to overlook the tedium or lack of major customization in the game. Yes, you can't customize your monsters, but with ~80 to capture in the remake, you can have multiple different combinations of party set ups by the end. Having a liquid metal slime is super rare, but when I got one by accident I was super extatic. It's like winning the lottery!😂 As for it being optional, I appreciate being able to catch monsters at all. I've done a run without them. The middle section before you get hitched and the tower before fighting Kon (the horse guy) are the hardest challenges in the game without monsters. The story isn't perfect, nor is the soundtrack. But they both bring a wholsome sense of adventure and familial warmth to it, and I haven't felt that in any other RPG except maybe Xenoblade Chronicles or Chrono trigger. Another thing I'd like to touch on is the Casino. If you go for the king metal sword, you'll have the best weapon in the entire game from the time you get out of that abby to the underworld, where it finally gets outclassed by an endgame staff. It basically eliminates grinding, oddly enough. If you do grind, the only times I've found where you *need to* are for around 10 minutes at the very start of the game (up to around level 6) and at the very end for about 30 minutes, depending on the party composition of your choice. An old pre-Chrono Trigger JRPG where you don't need to grind for 90% of the game? Sign me up! The characters also have their own depth even if they don't all play major roles. Like the villagers from the sticks hating you to forgiving you, or Nera/Debora's father having a reason to offer his daughter up like a courtship prize. You hit a lot of points on the game and made my evening with this. I look forward to your future reviews on other RPG's, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Sorry for the long comment. I enjoy DQ5 too much. 😅

Going to watch this later, and make another comment on here. I love DQ5 very much, and consider it to be my 4th favorite game ever made. There was a moment in the game that practically saved my life and moved me to tears. This is a game that, if you enjoy storytelling and subtle worldbuilding, will turn boys into men, so to speak. 😅

Ignore 16 he says nonchalantly

Kweh❤

why is your game running at 2fps though

4's music and graphics are just beautiful

New subscriber. You have a positive aura and you truly love JRPGs

Wait... you could kill the statues with level 5 doom??? Good God. I spent waaaaay too much time actually trying to kill them. It's not even a good AP spot to grind, but I thought it was on my first playthrough and spent like an entire month mastering jobs down there.

I am a huge fan of ff5 could be my favourite. The customisation is sooo good

Final Fantasy fans really take their franchise for granted. as a big fantasy lover since i was 7 when i discovered these games with 16 i instantly fell in love

This game is my JRPG childhood. It's so sad they not continue the series 😢

Videos like this one are what make RUclips so great. Incredible depth and breadth of JRPG knowledge man. Definitely found some games I wanna try.

man i remember renting this and then buying it. i still own it, replayed it a few years ago and it blew me away how well it held up. i love the crafting system

Finished the game this month. Hated it. Random battle every 10 secs. Trial and error difficulty. Try-hard bosses that can wipe your entire party with 1 attack if not prepared.

Best game FFX❤

Hello Raven, I was playing Romancing Saga 2 and I had a hard time with the battle system, such as leveling up, for example. And I thought that you could help me give me some strategy to move forward or some algorithm. By the way, your videos are very good ❤

I feel like such a noob. 150 is epic! Great perspectives!

I loved this title. Beat it on PS1 first, though. I hold it in higher regard than FF1 and 3, actually. I just wish the boss battles were unique enemies and not difficult enemies you'll fight later on

cool

Wasn’t this supposed to originally be dark cloud 3?

This was my first Phantasy Star. It was one of my first RPGs - I love it. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but the music still plays in my head regularly.

What a nice accent you have there buddy......Estonia?

There's a couple reasons why I think it has the reputation it has 1) it is a "lighter" friends focused plot (outside of Bartz having some initial attraction to Lenna and even more apparent attraction to Faris that he never really pursues in either case) while 4 and 6 had more emphasis on love related subplots (shippers are the most vocal part of a fandom, followed closely by actual players from what I've seen). 2) 4 and 6 not only got localized on original hardware but had the benefit of a Ted Woolsey localization in their SNES localizations, which generated a lot of nostalgia. 5, much like 2 and 3, was exclusive to Japan up until the PSX version if we don't count the fan translation. 3) The PSX version botches a few names due to taking notes from the store fan translation (citation needed as I got this from another comment) 4) the tone overall is much more upbeat than 4 and 6, making some view it as a "breather episode" of the franchise. 5) the game (especially in English, especially the GBA localization) has... A few references that are either liked or disliked depending on who you ask. 6) the only sequel it got was a... Questionable OVA called Legend of the Crystals that takes place centuries in the future (most of it does anyway), and to put it simply the FF5 crew deserved better than what the OVA did to the crew. It wasn't as bad as Final Fantasy Spirits Within (shudders) in my book, but it sure as hell wasn't Advent Children quality as far as sequels are concerned. Personally I think it's the definitive example of a "classic JRPG" along with Dragon Quest in general, which was originally localized as Dragon Warrior. FF5 is deserves better than its current reputation, deserves better than the OVA, and honestly I kinda favor the GBA version due to the added content, even if the Pixel Remaster (which is based on the Super Famicom version and therefore doesn't have the GBA content) does have better presentation.

Chrono Trigger in A is crazy work

Yea I dropped this game originally due to how bad Part 2 is. Finally finished it due to the port adding voice acting and battle music variety. It was absolutely not worth my time but at least I finally finished. Part 2 is just as painful as it was on ios.

Who the heck is hyping up VS. Even I, a lifelong fan, don't exactly promote it anymore.

This is Eric Landon's favorite game 😂 My favorite ones are Phantasia, Eternia, Symphonia and The Abyss.

Glad I found the channel. Final Fantasy V rules.

Every entry in the Ys Series is an action RPG Not true Ys Tactics is a tactics RPG Ys: Call of Solum is an MMORPG

People often say this is the best RPG ever made, but is it really? I played it for the first time recently and have a dissenting view. Like you I was underwhelmed by the characterization of the party members, with only Frog's being a top tier JRPG story arc (nowadays you will find better characters in many other games). Its battle system may have been innovative in the 90's, but in the modern era when a game doesn't allow you to move your party around the field to adjust your AOE yet enemies can jump about freely - thus forcing you to time your attacks via a vertically-scrolling menu system - then I'm sorry but it feels like a Quick Time Event which isn't fun. The set pieces that reviewers often like to bring up like the court trial and tank battle atop the prison are just that: set pieces. They were cool but once they're over that's it - the rest of the game doesn't really elevate to that level again. The main story itself, beyond the time travel shenanigans, is rather humdrum: for example I felt the plot lost a lot of momentum upon reaching the past utopia world, and my motivation to continue pushing ahead really started to flag because of it. The only GOAT parts of the game are the multiple ending system, which has hardly been attempted again and so never been topped, and possibly the ever-memorable soundtrack. Overall still a very good game but I wouldn't call it the best of all time.

This game desperately needed the remake treatment like Hearts and Innocence got. Especially since its one of the 3 tales of games that's has connections to the Triverse Gate

Love this game. I play the ps1 version

I love that the Remake that just came out went with the term Tech instead.

I still remember yearning to be able to play this when this was first released because I saw how all of my friends were posting about it back in 2016. I never had the console or PC for it until now and it's such a beautiful game even years after its release, I'm also glad that they gave a 4k resolution pack so we can still appreciate all its finer details in recent times. It's my first final fantasy game and I think it'll always be my favourite. Loved it so much that I completed all the steam achievements within 3 weeks! :D

Back when I played games for the music and graphics and not the features or gameplay 😅

I thought i was the only one who loved octopath traveler 1 outside of it’s flaws😭 thankgod i’ve been having a blast playing it for the first time. Little salty about earthbound in B tier since I really love the overall gameplay but i get why

Leaving a comment for the algo. Keep doing what you do Leon! <3

Lol, glad I am not the only one who catalogues the games I play in a year. Stuff like this is fun and cheers to a 2025 full of games.

Looking forward to your DQ8 video!

im liking it more that I did DQ5. 5 is awesome but DQ4 feels like your watching an epic from the beginning. Tornekos chapter was my favorite for some reason. Having a character going to work all the time, I think i went to work like 5 in game days before iam like "wait i think iam suppose to get the fuck out of this place" hahaha
