The Perspective of God’s People For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. They seem to live such painless lives. (Psalm 73:3-4) The psalmist Asaph struggled with the age-old question of why the wicked prosper. In Psalm 73 he wrote, “But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness” (verses 2-3) We live in a time when people celebrate and flaunt ungodly lifestyles. And like Asaph, we wonder how long they’re going to get away with it. As followers of Christ, we try to live by God’s Word, and people mock us for it. So, we say, “This just isn’t fair. That’s a horrible thing they’re doing. They shouldn’t be able to get away with that.” David, too, reflected on the life of the godly and the ungodly and contrasted them. He looked at the priorities they have. And in Psalm 5 he wrote, “You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers. Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe” (verses 6-7) David was saying, “Nonbelievers can do what they want to do and live the way they want to live. But I’m going to go to the house of the Lord.” Asaph arrived at a similar conclusion. He wrote, “Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction” (Psalm 73:17-18) When we gather with God’s people and study God’s Word together, we will see the big picture. We will realize that sin eventually catches up with everyone. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we will know that we’ve made the right choice.
Terranigma is an all time favorite. I love the gameplay and it has some of the saddest moments in gaming(poor mountain goats..). Wild Arms is special for the unique atmosphere that no RPG has had for me like it. The story has some exceptionally dark and chilling moments aswell
The end of terranigma 😭 when you see ark flying... It's a game that can't leave you different. when you meet ****** again in ********** but you're absorbed in the audio you're hearing on the broadcaster and it doesn't even occur to you that it could be that

One of the great things about Terranigma, or RPGs of that era were the manuals. The anime-like pictures in the manuals made you excited to reach those points in the game, and gave the games just so much world setting and lore.
I wouldn't put Wild Arms in a list of games that aged well because of the battles, some of the worst early 3d graphics. Pure 2D game would've been awesome.
I loved all of them besides one. It has been awhile. Though the one that was action based where you need to hit a training dummy 255 times to get some dumb weapon..
And to think the only reason I originally got Wild Arms 1 was because the pawn shop had sold the copy of Chrono Cross to my mom the day before and I had to choose if I wanted the first or second Wild Arms game. I got chrono cross for Christmas that year :) and the next summer got the second wild arms game.
It's still got one of the greatest soundtracks in the history of gaming - right up there with Chrono Trigger, Xenogears and the first Valkyria Chronicles.
What I hated was the fact there was a rumor that if you caught all the damn jellyfish the Bounty Hunter girl would join you and even when you resolve her plot story she never did join you in any type of combat which sucks
@@IaconDawnshire I agree with that as well. It was just that the dev team thought about wanting to make a sequel to SoA, but due to the poor sales of the game, on two consoles, pretty much killed it. It always made me curious about how they would do the sequel.

Phantasy Star IV and Ys: The Oath in Felghana are both among my absolute favorite games of all time and all of these are truly excellent games. I make time to play through Phantasy Star IV every year and the experience is always as great as I remember it being.
Another solid video, boys! Im making my way through DQVIII right now and it’s such a relaxing way to end a long day. would love to see a Part 3 video too!
I only saw the Terranigma Artwork in the Thumbnail. It is my favourite Game of all time. The Soundtrack is so fucking good, it's so intense and different from track to track i really had the feeling it brought the soundchip to it's limit. Talking bout limits, the Graphics are so pretty and i really felt the devs gave everything they had to make it the best it could be and found smart ways to work around the limitations. It just is something really special every RPG fan should expirience
Thank you. Atmosphere has always been a really important aspect in video games to me so have kinda taken that thought process here trying to set specific vibes with our videos
This was a great list! Phantasy star 4 just made me smile to see on here! Just wanted to add, I love these vids, I'd love to see more! Keep up the great work!
Solid recommendations here, I definitely need to check these games out sometime. Wild Arms in particular has been in my backlog for ages, I really need to get around to playing it soon. Keep up the great work guys!
Just played Paper Mario 1 for the first time last month, so I definitely agree there! It felt as fresh as if it just came out. That Nintendo polish ages REALLY well.
Glad you enjoyed it! Like the above comment said give Thousand Year Door a try next. I’m in the minority that prefers the original over it but it’s still an amazing game and I see why a lot of people prefer it over the first one
@@GamingBroductions I actually modded my Wii U last weekend to be able to play Gamecube ISOs. I had TTYD as a kid and it was tragically stolen along with my gamecube, Tales of Symphonia.. Lots of good games really. Excited to finally get to play it to the finish.
I think it’s wild that we’re at a point where baten kaitos and record or agerest war are getting rereleased and yet, radio silence on skies of Arcadia and wild arms. Really love your videos
Fellas, this may be your magnum opus (so far!). What a banger of a video. Love the editing direction you're taking. I've actually only played a couple of games on here. FFT is one of my favorites of all time. Same with PSIV. And MEIS TRIUMPH NEEDS TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT MORE!!!!!

Soul blazer blew me away back then. When the goat that you gave food too started walking by himself to the house you got the food from demanding more food I already knew the game was going to be special
@@GamingBroductions no thank you intro really brought me back to my highschool days and was what I really needed to make it through the day. I'm gonna share this video on Facebook if that's ok
This list is full of great games. Phantasy Star 4 is my favorite game ever. Like a lot of 16-bit and older RPGs the manual was actually pretty useful bordering on necessary, giving explanations of the basic spells and what have you.
What do you think of Phantasy Star 1-3? I want to get into this series, I tried PS1 with the Sega Ages remaster, and I got lost. I haven't been lost in a JRPG in ages, so I put it down.
@@michaelp4122 I have never finished 1, although I am trying to work my way through the Sega Ages release myself. That said, PS1 has a design philosophy that's really different from a lot of other 8 bit RPGs; it reminds me more of something like Ultima or the Saga games than other early JRPGs. All of which is to say, I also find the first game a bit obtuse, although I think it is worth playing. Like I said before these early RPGs tended to have a lot of info in the game manual, either with hints, partial walkthroughs, or both, so you might look into finding a scan of the manual if you want the best experience. PS2 has some of the most interesting themes and overall plot of the series, but it is HARD and the dungeons lean towards the hair-pulling level of mazey-ness. The characters I think were better in PS1. I personally wouldn't start with PS2, although plenty of people have. I just do not think the core systems have aged very gracefully, despite how interesting it must have been playing it when it was brand new. Phantasy Star 3 was my first game in the series, and although I know now that it is considered the black sheep of the first four games I really liked most of it. The combat system is surprisingly fast and flexible once you wrap your head around its peculiarities, and the generation mechanic was something I had never seen before (more common now, but most prevalent in Visual Novels rather than full on RPGs). Honestly, if you want to check out the series, I would suggest trying 4 first unless you already have at least some tolerance for old-school jank. The characters and storytelling of the game are peak 16-bit, rivaling games like FF6 in quality (mechanically, FF6 or even 5 have more depth, but PS4 is incredibly new player friendly in my experience, and the presentation is phenomenal).
@@RwnEsper I'll try PS4 first then, I can play it on the switch online with rewind (which is cheap, but....I like it). Playing Shining Force 2 now on switch. 8/16 bit JRPGs are a lot more tolerable when played on a system with a home/sleep button. Not going to lie, it probably won't be until 2024 before I try this, but you're not the first to tell me that PS4 is on the same level as FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Terranigma. Thanks for the info for all 4 games, one day, I'll get to them all.
Got to say, I was overjoyed to see you cover not just Skies of Arcadia but also Terranigma. Terranigma in particular is special to me because it's probably my most favourite game from my early childhood along with it's predecessor Illusion of Time. In fact I still haven't really met anyone online who had the game growing up besides me.
another dope video, as usual. your videos are truly a joy to watch, one of the few subs I have whose videos are instawatches the moment they come out. glad your channel has grown since I subbed while back and thanks for consistently putting out great content
Oh boy, Wild Arm... this is the summary of my childhood. The nostalgia is overwhelming that it brings tears to my eyes. Wild arms and Lufia 2 the best jrpg for me!
Whoa! Cool intro. Is this the first video with the new introduction? The music sounds like a 1990s hip hop beat complete with instrumental samples laid over a drum break. The clips of JRPG cutscenes, and real life Japan played along with the music is dope.
Yep first video featuring the intro. Thank you, glad you like it! Definitely was going for old school Toonami vibes, I’ve always really loved the combination of retro anime and hip hop beats and think they go really well together
Remember, in addition to Phantasy Star 4 coming with a manual that explained what all the spells and skills did, it was the 4th game in a series that used that naming convention. Not to mention that Final Fantasy's "Blizzaga" would probably be as nonintuitive to the original Japanese audiences as Persona's "Bufudyne" or Phantasy Star's NaWat."
Amazing video! Grew up playing most of these and got to say I love your presentation and humor bits, especially with your cat haha! Would love to see a 3rd video covering maybe Legend of Mana, SaGa Frontier 1 or 2, and Legend of Legaia.
Thank you! The cat is definitely the MVP of our videos lol. Will definitely plan on more parts in the future. In the meantime Legend of Legaia will be featured in our next video 👌
Phantasy Star 4 needs a new translation in my opinion, especially because of the letter limitations that old games had. Maybe it could get a Sega Ages treatment with quality of life changes. That would be worth it.
Wow, this channel has grown like whut! Great picks for parts 1 and 2 both. My personal picks off the top of my head (not necessarily "favorites" but I think they have aged well): -Kartia: The Word of Fate (PS1) -SaGa Frontier (PS1) -Arc the Lad III (PS1 version) -Jade Empire (Xbox) -Shadow Hearts Covenant (PS2) -Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1) -Valkyrie Profile (PS1) Damn, PS1-heavy... ;-)
Great video! Dq 8 is so good. Always loved terranigma too. No one knew about it except for me growing up because I was the only one of my friends who knew about emulation and we didn’t get an official release here. That GameCube one looks amazing !! And wild arms is one I’ve always wanted to play too. I’ve also always wanted to try the breath of fire games for PlayStation. I only played them on snes. I’m off to check part one now! Thanks for sharing
i LOVED Terranigma as a kid. Our neighbor had it and it was just such a great game. And those old great games - perfect to play on handhelds nowadays :)
I'm so glad I got into Emulation in the 2nd grade (1996) because I could play games that I would never be able to get like Terranigma. That game is definitely legendary.
@@all-fiction3305 im tryin to take that as a sign that maybe more niche JRPGs can start poppin up again. First it was Square's livealive and now its namco's baten kaitos. Please sega for the love of god...
So many of these older jrpgs would do well with a remastered port. Personally, Phantasy Star IV would probably make an excellent candidate for a full conversion to 3d with voice acting, though they should have an option to retain the comic panels or have cut scenes. Also, the spells definitely need a naming update... my first time playing was a bit annoying figuring out what spells did what lol

Phantasy Star 2 and 4 are two of my favorite JRPGs, so Skies of Arcadia is one of my most anticipated games as I make my way through the Dreamcast library. Earlier this year I played through Phantasy Star 1 for the first time, and I was surprised how well that one had aged, only becoming stereotypically cryptic near the end. Rieko Kodama was a driving force in some incredible games, she was taken far too soon.
Love your channel dude. You constantly have videos of high quality and I don't think I've ever heard of someone with more knowledge of JRPGs. Do you know how many JRPGs you have played? I'm just curious since they're generally such long games it would be crazy to think about how many you have played.
Thanks dude! Appreciate the kind words. Man it’s hard to give an exact number but I would say well over a hundred for sure, though a good amount of those I’ve never actually completed. Some games I may have only dabbled in for a few hours whereas others I may have spent 50+ hours on and still never beat. I’ve probably actually beat around 50-100
@@GamingBroductions Wow that is seriously impressive. I think RPGs have some of the best stories in gaming so having such a wealth of stories you have experienced is truly awesome. Keep up the good work on the videos!
Speaking of old RPGs I would love to see a video covering the Famicom JRPGs because those are so underrepresented, and at the time they were so big in Japan. People talk about Super Famicom RPGs but not on the original 8 bit console. All people mention is Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy when there’s stuff like Sweet Home, Glory of Heracles II, and Lagrange Point.
Suikoden and Wild Arms are the games that made me a gamer. I'd played before but never got really into it, until my brother introduced me to Suikoden and Wild arms
@@GamingBroductions Don’t get me wrong I’ll watch any video you make. I love your channel and we seem to have very similar tastes in games so your channel was fun to binge when I discovered it and now I look forward to the new ones.
The JRPG that aged well to me is *Front Mission 3* for PS1. Why so? To this day I still haven't finished the game because most of the time I spend, like 80%, are mostly on its fictional internet browser LOL 😂😂😂. Very little I spend on grinding for characters. Seriously, I just browse sites, reading some fictional articles about military vehicles, vote for my sister in college beauty contest. I just can't stand it when there's encrypted website, I NEED TO KNOW THE PASSWORD.
I'm a subjective peon here but, Tactics Ogre > FFT. I understand and appreciate how the latter makes the list tho and as a fan I'm glad you shout it out during the fft portion. I'm just fascinated that ogre is the unofficial beta of FFT working on the SNES. And although it has its obvious limitations on the snes, it's just such a jam packed game, and some limitations like how few magic/items units could have always helped me just balance the whole party better. sorry tactics ogre is just a chefs kiss of a game imo
I grew up with Terranigma and its one of the best arpgs of the snes. Lufia 2 which was released very late in the snes life probably is the best turn based counterpart.

The psalmist Asaph struggled with the age-old question of why the wicked prosper. In Psalm 73 he wrote, “But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness” (verses 2-3)
We live in a time when people celebrate and flaunt ungodly lifestyles. And like Asaph, we wonder how long they’re going to get away with it. As followers of Christ, we try to live by God’s Word, and people mock us for it. So, we say, “This just isn’t fair. That’s a horrible thing they’re doing. They shouldn’t be able to get away with that.”
David, too, reflected on the life of the godly and the ungodly and contrasted them. He looked at the priorities they have. And in Psalm 5 he wrote, “You will destroy those who tell lies. The Lord detests murderers and deceivers. Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe” (verses 6-7)
David was saying, “Nonbelievers can do what they want to do and live the way they want to live. But I’m going to go to the house of the Lord.”
Asaph arrived at a similar conclusion. He wrote, “Then I went into your sanctuary, O God, and I finally understood the destiny of the wicked. Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction”
(Psalm 73:17-18)
When we gather with God’s people and study God’s Word together, we will see the big picture. We will realize that sin eventually catches up with everyone. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we will know that we’ve made the right choice.
Phantasy Star IV and Ys: The Oath in Felghana are both among my absolute favorite games of all time and all of these are truly excellent games. I make time to play through Phantasy Star IV every year and the experience is always as great as I remember it being.
Another solid video, boys! Im making my way through DQVIII right now and it’s such a relaxing way to end a long day. would love to see a Part 3 video too!
I only saw the Terranigma Artwork in the Thumbnail. It is my favourite Game of all time. The Soundtrack is so fucking good, it's so intense and different from track to track i really had the feeling it brought the soundchip to it's limit.
Talking bout limits, the Graphics are so pretty and i really felt the devs gave everything they had to make it the best it could be and found smart ways to work around the limitations.
It just is something really special every RPG fan should expirience
I've gotten Final Fantasy Tactics on PS1, PSP, and on my phone. I love that game so much.
Phone. Emulator?
Android port. Honestly a fantastic Port, touch controls are really great for the game
Your videos are always so unique, in that you have a brief intermission with some chill beats. Very underrated.
Thank you. Atmosphere has always been a really important aspect in video games to me so have kinda taken that thought process here trying to set specific vibes with our videos
This was a great list! Phantasy star 4 just made me smile to see on here! Just wanted to add, I love these vids, I'd love to see more! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! We’ll plan on keeping this series going in the future for sure
Solid recommendations here, I definitely need to check these games out sometime. Wild Arms in particular has been in my backlog for ages, I really need to get around to playing it soon. Keep up the great work guys!
Just played Paper Mario 1 for the first time last month, so I definitely agree there! It felt as fresh as if it just came out. That Nintendo polish ages REALLY well.
Play Thousand Year Door. Most fans regard this as the best Paper Mario (but the N64 original is still good).
Glad you enjoyed it! Like the above comment said give Thousand Year Door a try next. I’m in the minority that prefers the original over it but it’s still an amazing game and I see why a lot of people prefer it over the first one
@@GamingBroductions I actually modded my Wii U last weekend to be able to play Gamecube ISOs. I had TTYD as a kid and it was tragically stolen along with my gamecube, Tales of Symphonia.. Lots of good games really. Excited to finally get to play it to the finish.
It's crazy how many JRPG enjoyers sleep on Paper Mario, it's really one of the best RPGs ever made
I think it’s wild that we’re at a point where baten kaitos and record or agerest war are getting rereleased and yet, radio silence on skies of Arcadia and wild arms. Really love your videos
Fellas, this may be your magnum opus (so far!). What a banger of a video. Love the editing direction you're taking.
I've actually only played a couple of games on here. FFT is one of my favorites of all time. Same with PSIV.
And MEIS TRIUMPH NEEDS TO BE SPOKEN ABOUT MORE!!!!!
You never miss an opportunity to express your appreciation for Vyce’s design. Probably been watching for a year at least now. Thanks for everything!
Vyse is my boy, gotta show him some love whenever I can lol. Thanks for tuning in throughout the last year!

The intro and outro are awesome on this one. Don’t get me wrong, I like the whole vid but yeah those parts were sweet. And yeah I’d be into a part 3
Ys: The Oath in Felghana features everything I love about the Ys series. Haven't played the newest couple of games though.
That intro was so nice I had to watch it twice!
And I loved the outro too. Very topical!
Thanks man! Glad to hear you liked them!
Can’t wait to play an official release of Terranigma one day, and the rest of the Quintet game’s remastered.
Here’s hoping it happens soon.
They’re all in desperate need for some modern ports for sure. It’s an absolute travesty that we never even got an official NA release for Terranigma
Soul blazer blew me away back then. When the goat that you gave food too started walking by himself to the house you got the food from demanding more food I already knew the game was going to be special
@@GamingBroductionsBut you guys got Chrono Trigger. And FF6 (3) for SNES.
@@stevesteve0521 me when i was able to throw thing on people in Terranigma and cutting grass in Treasure Hunter G
@@TVans-vs3gn both of those have since released in europe, but terranigma has still not had an official na release
Terranigma is a must-play title. When I hear the music I get goose bumps instantly.
Dude that intro gave me old school Toonami vibes great video instant subscribe
That was the vibe we were going for, thank you and welcome!
@@GamingBroductions no thank you intro really brought me back to my highschool days and was what I really needed to make it through the day. I'm gonna share this video on Facebook if that's ok
That intro is mega hype! Its like a flashback of my childhood lol
Haha thanks! Definitely was going for old school nostalgic Toonami vibes
Absolute classics. Thanks for the vid!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Its always a chill and good day when you upload
Love to hear that 💯
@@GamingBroductions keep contents coming bro ur good at this, i aspire to be a youtuber but im busy in life/family/work. I look up to you
This list is full of great games.
Phantasy Star 4 is my favorite game ever. Like a lot of 16-bit and older RPGs the manual was actually pretty useful bordering on necessary, giving explanations of the basic spells and what have you.
What do you think of Phantasy Star 1-3?
I want to get into this series, I tried PS1 with the Sega Ages remaster, and I got lost. I haven't been lost in a JRPG in ages, so I put it down.
@@michaelp4122 I have never finished 1, although I am trying to work my way through the Sega Ages release myself. That said, PS1 has a design philosophy that's really different from a lot of other 8 bit RPGs; it reminds me more of something like Ultima or the Saga games than other early JRPGs. All of which is to say, I also find the first game a bit obtuse, although I think it is worth playing. Like I said before these early RPGs tended to have a lot of info in the game manual, either with hints, partial walkthroughs, or both, so you might look into finding a scan of the manual if you want the best experience.
PS2 has some of the most interesting themes and overall plot of the series, but it is HARD and the dungeons lean towards the hair-pulling level of mazey-ness. The characters I think were better in PS1. I personally wouldn't start with PS2, although plenty of people have. I just do not think the core systems have aged very gracefully, despite how interesting it must have been playing it when it was brand new.
Phantasy Star 3 was my first game in the series, and although I know now that it is considered the black sheep of the first four games I really liked most of it. The combat system is surprisingly fast and flexible once you wrap your head around its peculiarities, and the generation mechanic was something I had never seen before (more common now, but most prevalent in Visual Novels rather than full on RPGs).
Honestly, if you want to check out the series, I would suggest trying 4 first unless you already have at least some tolerance for old-school jank. The characters and storytelling of the game are peak 16-bit, rivaling games like FF6 in quality (mechanically, FF6 or even 5 have more depth, but PS4 is incredibly new player friendly in my experience, and the presentation is phenomenal).
@@RwnEsper I'll try PS4 first then, I can play it on the switch online with rewind (which is cheap, but....I like it). Playing Shining Force 2 now on switch.
8/16 bit JRPGs are a lot more tolerable when played on a system with a home/sleep button.
Not going to lie, it probably won't be until 2024 before I try this, but you're not the first to tell me that PS4 is on the same level as FFVI, Chrono Trigger, or Terranigma.
Thanks for the info for all 4 games, one day, I'll get to them all.
Excited for this notification! Can't wait to watch it later tonight or tomorrow!
Hope you enjoy!
Always look forward to these drops, fills me up with nostalgia frfr. I see you with the post credits scene lol. 🔥🔥 intro too!
Yeah trying something new with the intro and post credits scene lol. Nostalgia’s definitely the vibe here, thanks for always tuning in!
Quick turnaround on this one! Good stuff! That's a bad ass intro btw. Love it
Thanks man! Glad to hear you’re digging the new intro
@@GamingBroductions Very 90s-early 00s toonami-like.....awesome stuff. Very nostalgic feeling.
That intro is fantastic brothers, well done!
Thank you, really appreciate that!
Got to say, I was overjoyed to see you cover not just Skies of Arcadia but also Terranigma. Terranigma in particular is special to me because it's probably my most favourite game from my early childhood along with it's predecessor Illusion of Time. In fact I still haven't really met anyone online who had the game growing up besides me.
Ninas wind dragon...
Breath of fire was such an awesome compliment to all the other golden era rpgs.
Just finished Terranigma yesterday. Easily my 2nd fav SNES game behind Chrono Trigger. The ending was worth the hardship.
Glad you had a great time, It's a amazing game. I'm not sure if you've finished it, but did you enjoy it more than FFVI.
Totally agree with the entire list. All of those games can be totally re-playable nowadays and they feel like old good stuff
Thank you for covering classic JRPGs!
No problem! SNES/PS1/PS2 are my favorite eras of RPGs, gotta love the classics
Holy shit that intro was fire. Extremely well done!
Thank you, glad to hear you liked it!
another dope video, as usual. your videos are truly a joy to watch, one of the few subs I have whose videos are instawatches the moment they come out. glad your channel has grown since I subbed while back and thanks for consistently putting out great content
Hell yeah, really appreciate that and that’s great to hear. We got some more dope content planned for the future 👌
Good to see Terranigma getting the recognition it deserves.
I played it as kid and still love and it is definitely my favourite SNES game
Oh boy, Wild Arm... this is the summary of my childhood. The nostalgia is overwhelming that it brings tears to my eyes. Wild arms and Lufia 2 the best jrpg for me!
Whoa! Cool intro. Is this the first video with the new introduction? The music sounds like a 1990s hip hop beat complete with instrumental samples laid over a drum break. The clips of JRPG cutscenes, and real life Japan played along with the music is dope.
Yep first video featuring the intro. Thank you, glad you like it! Definitely was going for old school Toonami vibes, I’ve always really loved the combination of retro anime and hip hop beats and think they go really well together
Remember, in addition to Phantasy Star 4 coming with a manual that explained what all the spells and skills did, it was the 4th game in a series that used that naming convention.
Not to mention that Final Fantasy's "Blizzaga" would probably be as nonintuitive to the original Japanese audiences as Persona's "Bufudyne" or Phantasy Star's NaWat."
This video was absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥… loved the intro and breaks between games. Keep it up and yes to a part 3!!
Thanks man glad you liked it! Part 3 will definitely be coming in due time 👌
Wow, loved the last list can’t wait to finish this one.
Thanks, hope you enjoyed it!
Great production. Appreciate the time you put into this.
No problem, thanks for watching
I love your videos, I’m glad you’re still uploading new stuff. Thank you for your excellent content ❤
No problem, thank you for watching!
Amazing video! Grew up playing most of these and got to say I love your presentation and humor bits, especially with your cat haha! Would love to see a 3rd video covering maybe Legend of Mana, SaGa Frontier 1 or 2, and Legend of Legaia.
Thank you! The cat is definitely the MVP of our videos lol. Will definitely plan on more parts in the future. In the meantime Legend of Legaia will be featured in our next video 👌
The intro was like an Adult Swim Crawl. Great work!!!
That was sorta the vibe we were going for, thank you!
1:00 Crazy chills... Nostalgia hits so hard it hurts.
That was the goal 💯
@@GamingBroductions Mission Accomplished 😭
With Paper Mario and Phantasy Star you've hit all the best games that have aged well over the two videos. Nice job ❤
Phantasy Star 4 needs a new translation in my opinion, especially because of the letter limitations that old games had. Maybe it could get a Sega Ages treatment with quality of life changes. That would be worth it.
Wow, this channel has grown like whut!
Great picks for parts 1 and 2 both.
My personal picks off the top of my head (not necessarily "favorites" but I think they have aged well):
-Kartia: The Word of Fate (PS1)
-SaGa Frontier (PS1)
-Arc the Lad III (PS1 version)
-Jade Empire (Xbox)
-Shadow Hearts Covenant (PS2)
-Star Ocean: The Second Story (PS1)
-Valkyrie Profile (PS1)
Damn, PS1-heavy... ;-)
Great video! Dq 8 is so good. Always loved terranigma too. No one knew about it except for me growing up because I was the only one of my friends who knew about emulation and we didn’t get an official release here. That GameCube one looks amazing !! And wild arms is one I’ve always wanted to play too. I’ve also always wanted to try the breath of fire games for PlayStation. I only played them on snes. I’m off to check part one now! Thanks for sharing
All your comments are on point, and i definitely want to see a part 3"
Thanks! We’ll get around to a part 3 at some point for sure
I'm just love how the cat come in to say hi and wondering what you are playing
Terranigma, my favorite game of all times
My miyoo mini should arrive tomorrow and that's the first game I wanna play (for the first time ever)
@@larenius1 first time playing terranigma? I'm so envious, I wish I could do the same, it marked me a lot and it's my favorite game for life
i LOVED Terranigma as a kid. Our neighbor had it and it was just such a great game.
And those old great games - perfect to play on handhelds nowadays :)
That intro 🔥🔥🔥
Intro is hella dope. Feels like an old Toonami Bump/Promo
Thanks dude, that was definitely the inspiration when making it
I'm so glad I got into Emulation in the 2nd grade (1996) because I could play games that I would never be able to get like Terranigma. That game is definitely legendary.
That intro is unreal!
Thank you!
Loving that intro man!
Thanks man!
finally!i missed you guys,i love you videos!
Skies of Arcadia desperately needs to be ported to modern systems.
Its crazy that Baten Kaitos is getting ported but WHERE IS SKIES OF ARCADIA!?
@@all-fiction3305 im tryin to take that as a sign that maybe more niche JRPGs can start poppin up again. First it was Square's livealive and now its namco's baten kaitos.
Please sega for the love of god...
For real though. It seems possible in this day and age too, hopefully it’s only a matter of time
So many of these older jrpgs would do well with a remastered port. Personally, Phantasy Star IV would probably make an excellent candidate for a full conversion to 3d with voice acting, though they should have an option to retain the comic panels or have cut scenes. Also, the spells definitely need a naming update... my first time playing was a bit annoying figuring out what spells did what lol

Your new intro is awesome!
Thanks man!
Phantasy Star 2 and 4 are two of my favorite JRPGs, so Skies of Arcadia is one of my most anticipated games as I make my way through the Dreamcast library. Earlier this year I played through Phantasy Star 1 for the first time, and I was surprised how well that one had aged, only becoming stereotypically cryptic near the end.
Rieko Kodama was a driving force in some incredible games, she was taken far too soon.
FFT's OST is remarkable and relaxing.
Wild ARMs is a game I wanna play again.
You should! It held up better than I remembered tbh.
Love your channel dude. You constantly have videos of high quality and I don't think I've ever heard of someone with more knowledge of JRPGs. Do you know how many JRPGs you have played? I'm just curious since they're generally such long games it would be crazy to think about how many you have played.
Thanks dude! Appreciate the kind words. Man it’s hard to give an exact number but I would say well over a hundred for sure, though a good amount of those I’ve never actually completed. Some games I may have only dabbled in for a few hours whereas others I may have spent 50+ hours on and still never beat. I’ve probably actually beat around 50-100
@@GamingBroductions Wow that is seriously impressive. I think RPGs have some of the best stories in gaming so having such a wealth of stories you have experienced is truly awesome. Keep up the good work on the videos!
Love hearing "Marsh Where Migrant Birds Gather". This track does not get enough love.
That intro reminds me of Toonami in the early 2000s late 90s.
Awesome, that was the vibe we were going for
That opening, so legit.
Glad to hear people are liking it 👌
I'm so happy to see Phantasy Star IV here! ❤️
It’s an amazing title!
Speaking of old RPGs I would love to see a video covering the Famicom JRPGs because those are so underrepresented, and at the time they were so big in Japan. People talk about Super Famicom RPGs but not on the original 8 bit console. All people mention is Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy when there’s stuff like Sweet Home, Glory of Heracles II, and Lagrange Point.
That intro was incredible
sick opening
Thank you!
The intro is lit. So much nostalgia.
Perfect timing on this one! Thanks a lot gents!
No problem, thanks for tuning in as always!
Suikoden and Wild Arms are the games that made me a gamer. I'd played before but never got really into it, until my brother introduced me to Suikoden and Wild arms
Heavy toonami intro influence 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That intro is perfect. Reminiscent of the early adult swim era. 👍👍👍👍
Hell yeah, that was the intention 💯
Played every game on this list. Excellent list. I'd give anything for another Skies game and another proper phantasy star game.
Great video, brother. I liked the first one too so I’m down for a third and more if you can
Thank you. We’ll definitely plan on a part 3 at some point
@@GamingBroductions Don’t get me wrong I’ll watch any video you make. I love your channel and we seem to have very similar tastes in games so your channel was fun to binge when I discovered it and now I look forward to the new ones.
I would love a part 3. My suggestion for an underated JRPG is Arcana for the SNES. I don't think it gets the love it deserves.
You guys made an opening 😊nice!
part three. Part Three! PART THREE!!!
In due time after we cover some more topics first!
Ooooh that intro baby
Yoooo I fuck with this intro g !! Keep it up man . Been watching for over two years now
Hell yeah, love to hear from a long time watcher! Thanks for kicking it with us for so long and glad you like the intro
The JRPG that aged well to me is *Front Mission 3* for PS1.
Why so? To this day I still haven't finished the game because most of the time I spend, like 80%, are mostly on its fictional internet browser LOL 😂😂😂. Very little I spend on grinding for characters. Seriously, I just browse sites, reading some fictional articles about military vehicles, vote for my sister in college beauty contest. I just can't stand it when there's encrypted website, I NEED TO KNOW THE PASSWORD.
The game is so horrificly slow though..
Came here hoping to see some love for Skies of Arcadia. Was not disappointed!
Thank u so much for showing us more rare shit, never heard of terranigma till now it looks crazy
It is so good. You should definitely play it although it is kind of hard now since it hasn't been re-released on modern systems.
Great vid! Really nostalgic.
I forgot, did you mention "Azure Dreams" in part 1 ?
Wild Arms has one of the greatest opening cinematics, EVER.
Couldn’t agree more!
Excellent video and great titkes discussed. Shocked you didnt mention Alter Code F when discussing Wild Arms
I'm a subjective peon here but, Tactics Ogre > FFT. I understand and appreciate how the latter makes the list tho and as a fan I'm glad you shout it out during the fft portion. I'm just fascinated that ogre is the unofficial beta of FFT working on the SNES. And although it has its obvious limitations on the snes, it's just such a jam packed game, and some limitations like how few magic/items units could have always helped me just balance the whole party better. sorry tactics ogre is just a chefs kiss of a game imo
I just picked up Sega Classics on PS3; it includes the Phantasy Star series. Can't wait to check them out, heard some good things about it.
The animation in Dragon Quest 8 is amazing!
I especially love the battle animations! The ones where they start dancing always get me
@@GamingBroductions
The animations are top-notch too!
I grew up with Terranigma and its one of the best arpgs of the snes. Lufia 2 which was released very late in the snes life probably is the best turn based counterpart.
Bro has the best intro of all time 😤
