GREEN IS NOT A PRIMARY COLOR!!! 😭 Green is a SECONDARY color 😭😭😭

I’ve watched two fairly comprehensive retrospectives on FF 13 this year, that have given me some food for thought on how the sum of its parts stack up. If you take the time to understand the weird naming conventions. It is very unfortunate that something went terribly wrong with the localization along with a ton of unfinished ideas, that flowed into both of the sequels, which for some made the first game even more confusing to wrap their head around.

I remember reading the instruction booklets on the bus of my pokemon games that my mum bought me when I was little Damn, why did I open it and have a good childhood??? I could be rich right now 😂

I never realized this before but looking back it seems so obvious wind is green 🤯

I always went for green to represent earth ie nature and also earth is my favorite element and green is my favorite color, but i mean i guess in a scientific way green can represent air due to oxygen produce by plants but that's all i got

Aye Smite name drop

“Some people might have been disappointed by the graphics.” Lol I didn’t even care about graphics as a kid.

RE: Disgaea I think it chose green as the element so it occupied one of each primary colour, red, green, and blue. The game has also always listed them in that order(fire, wind, ice, the classes for mages always go red mage, green mage, blue mage, etc). Green being associated with wind may be a thing they copied, but I don't think the colour was picked because of the element(especially when the elements are arbitrary and other than the triangle where mages are all weak against the element before them in the cycle the choice of weaknesses etc are all randomised). It's my opinion that the choice of colours came from their previous games, most notably La Pucelle Tactics where the elements are just colours that combine like colpurs of light(red crossing green makes yellow, red plus blue makes purple, blue plus green makes teal, and all 3 combined makes white), there it was about making cycles to combine the colours to make purification effects, but it also acted like elements(with enemies being weak if hit while standing on a particular colour). It kind of makes sense that they took the same basic elemental idea into their next game(but just gave them actual elements).

Golden Sun is a pretty bad example because, while Ivan may wear a green cloak, wind magic in that game is clearly and consistently purple.

I didn’t really like the sound in gen 3 it was all tinny & compressed

WHO IS DISAGREEING WITH YOU??? WIND IS GREEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE GREEN

Man I gotta agree, having a secret base in emerald might be considered a “useless” mechanics nowadays, but damn that is so awesome, I wish all games pokemon games moving forward would have that

You bring up Satanic panic in the video. Funny enough, if you were to look at the reviews for the first 7 movies plus Detective Pikachu on Dove’s website they are all Dove approved even though Digimon, Yu-GiOh!, and Harry Potter are not. Dove is a strict Christian flavored movie review website.

reminds me of lufia

There's also Chrono Cross, where color-coded elements are a decently important plot point and wind is green. Plus Persona/SMT.

I think my first thought was chrono cross, where the element of green represents wind as well as plant magic, followed closely by smt (technically "force," but same difference since nocturne)

8:10 finally explaining the important part. Fujin 4 life

I came for green wind, stayed for Quest 64.

Pokemon really did alot with a very limited console. (I remember Gameboy before colour released)

This was a fun watch, what a great deep dive! I think you're into something with Fujin 風神 but it is amazing how well green works as wind! From basic colours and yellow being better for earth to the leaves blowing around, heck even razor leaf from original Pokemon does this despite grass being its own type!

Woo Brawl!

Favorite one is crystal hands down

I'm curious why Fujin is green. When he was created they had to have chosen green for a reason

IVE SEEN THIS SHIT TOO! Thanks for bringing light to it <3

I think there's also the association of color in the Chinese 5 elements. The Chinese ones are fire(red), earth(yellow), wood(green), water(black), and metal(white). The Japanese version of the same thing (i believe they both originate from east asian buddhism) is Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Void. Void replaces metal, and wind replaces wood. I don't know how much impact that has on Japanese culture, but it might explain the connection between wind, the color green, and plants in general.

Never thought of it until now, but I can see why Rock Lee's outfit is all green

Interesting that in Ocarina of Time, the Forest Temple/Medallion were originally meant to be Wind - themed, hence both the windmill-spiral icon on it as well as their room in Ganon's Castle being a wind puzzle. So another indirect green connection!

It's not a JRPG or anime, but Lego Bionicles also represents the element of Wind with green! The Toa of Air, Lewa and all of his people are a very healthy leaf-like green color.

How is drowning blue?

explanation starts around 6:20

I was wondering.. has it also to do with the feng-shui? Because iirc the four basic elements get also represented in them!

Yes thank you.

THANK YOU! I always thought of wind as green and earth as yellow. Some games flip this and it really annoys me. Fire = Red Water = Blue Wind = Green Earth = Yellow or Brown Ice = Light Blue Holy = White (sometimes Yellow) Darkness = Black (sometimes Purple) Lightning = Yellow/Light Blue/Purple Psychic = Purple or Pink

No Persona or SMT references = bad research 😂

When a tornado is a' brewing, the sky turns green. Probably where it comes from

Even though I'm a Green lantern fan I'm also starting to realize with the color green is representative in the mortal Kombat series like Johnny Cage shang tsung and jade a real perfect example like she's literally named after a green coloured Crystal

Well Known Japanese Fire Character: Wizard from Warhammer Vermintide

I absolutely loved the prince of Persia(2008?). I am still eating for the sequel. Also, DMC is IMHO the best devil may cry, or if not the best, shares the top with dmc3. I thought I was going to hate it because of how awful Dante looked, but everything else is far superior that other DMC titles. Also, FF XIII and XV are not that bad. XV could've become a classic if not for the rushed last act. Also, everyone says they love X but ultimately is very similar to XIII. IMHO XIII battle system is far more enjoyable and strategic than X. Narratively, it relies too much into reading the very long and boring lore, but ultimately the story is in the same level. My shit game is beyond the beyond. A decent jrpg from PS1. Definitely not a masterpiece, but nowhere as bad as the worst PS1 jrpg as some people say.

FF8 Fujin uses wind magic.

You have Ivan from Golden Sun front and center, but wind's purple in those games.

If I had to choose a couple games to play the rest of my life trapped on an island, dark legacy would for sure be on the list.

I thought I was the only one who thought about elements and their colors back then. I hope you delve into more topics in similar vein like purple vs. yellow lightning. EDIT: And maybe darkness having different shrouds of color, sometimes it's depicted as pitch black, sometimes it's red and black, and sometimes it's black and purplish.

The magic was gone in gen III for sure. Pokemania died. Gen 4 was actually an improvement in popularity. GenIII was a blunder in many ways. Couldn't even catch them all anymore at RS release.

"horrible at cultivating a multi gendered audience?" yep, man and boys have diferent natures from woman and girls, is a fact.

Fuu from magic Knight rayearth is green coded.

Wind spells in persona are green. The wind attribute icon on yugioh cards is also green.

U a real one for playing one of the og goats and my favs, legend of dragoon

I think there's arguments to be made about its association with "nature" and nature based magics being represented by green as well, and wind being a natural force. (and nature is left out of a lot of elemental systems so wind represented as green to signify nature makes sense). Also the term "green energy" and it's correlation to wind turbines being a significant method for sustainable energy helps solidify the association. (all in addition to what you pointed out in the video!)
