I'm still working my way through the SMT series, but SMTV was awesome and is probably gonna be one of my favorite megaten games when Im finished with them. Outside of some concepts in the story that i really liked (ie Various branches of Bethel), it was super disappointing. However, its been so long since I've had this much fun with an rpg. I've yet to play Apocalypse, but at the very least the game is a huge jump in balance and difficulty from 4. And I did really love the attention to detail you mentioned with the demons in the game :) And Great Ace Attorney was awesome too! GAA2 is absolutely my favorite Ace Attorney game I've played so far.
Nice video! Love your JRPG told long types but this video format is cool too. Crossing my fingers you might do Xenosaga told long, but i know its a LONG video to cover. Thank you for doing the Xenogear videos, would of never known what a great game it was. Much success to you man stay healthy 👍🏻
The revenge thing in arise was basically "I avenged REDACTED but it didn't heal my regret for past mistakes. But you are clearly lashing out at everything more and more and getting super unstable. It would destroy the best parts of you to not refocus and find a better motivation to fuel your desire to take them down or you will be come worse yet justify like a rabid animal. "
Great video. I guess because I’m a SMT noob (I only beat 4 prior to 5) but when 5 was released I got it day one and didn’t see much gameplay online. I just jumped in mostly blind. I did not know it was an open world ish game. So while I was playing it initially i was a bit frustrated because I truly hate open world games....but I continued to play I fell for the world and atmosphere just like you. The music is still in my head even after beating it weeks ago and the levels or worlds have this look to them that are pretty damn iconic. Combat is awesome too. I wonder if they will release an apocalypse version in the future.
Actually, I have turned into a huge Ys fan. It’s pretty charming, but more importantly it’s the best possible example of brilliant action rpg combat being > graphics, while still being fine looking.
I'm glad that the pokemon section was short (for reasons that we all come to expect from pokemon fans if they hear the words ||gamefreak is lazy|| they eather go two ways) also great video interesting stuff you said there. My personal favorite games of the year were SMT5 and The World Ends With You (I played the final remix with a friend together the first couple of days and than finished the rest of it alone one of the most unique experiences I ever had).
I wholeheartedly agree about the story of SMT 5. It has a massive leap at least a few times. And I dislike how all bosses are damage sponges that are only really an issue if you run out of MP. I think that all bosses should have about 1/4th or 1/3rd less hp and an additional press turn.
The thing with SMT V is that a lot of people compares it to the one that has the heroes with you in the same party throughout the story, and of course naturally you get to know more about them. However, when they compare it, they just overlook that aspect and immediately do it. As for me, yes, SMT 4 heroes are very interesting and you know more about them, but I have that aspect in mind and comparing 5 with that game is definitely off for me for reasons I have wrote. The way Atlus presented the story of SMT V is a lot more like Dark Souls. They use the open-ended formula, so why not use that for the story too? Honestly, I am confident I will not care, or at least "just like" the characters if I don't explore Tokyo and randomly talks to people, or "accidentally" hear people talks about characters in the game. As the "war" part, it's already a war to begin with. The part with Sahori is Lahmu and his subordinates only. As why the writer go with war and not infiltrating the human world further, angels learned that, and them actively waging war to prevent that too is more than a possibility. Because of that, I love this game. Can they do better, however? Yes. While the game is fantastic as it is (so far), more finishing touches in some parts is more than appreciated (that first meetup with Koshizimu is one). I'm completely with you in the map exploration, though. That aspect is worthy of a chef kiss.
also, on disgaea 6 everything looks and FEELS half ass, it's the kind of game that would kill a franchise, I hope they realize the mess up because at this point they had THOUSANDS of beautiful sprites from disgaea 5, all they had to do was create a couple hundred new ones and make a new game with that, people would have been much happier
disgaea 6 sucks, the idea of going 3d would have made sense if it had more characters because 3d is cheaper to make and animiate too, specially with the ugly simplistic style they went for, but it has the less options in any disgaea game, disgaea 1 had more substance
bravely default 2 was the worst shit I've e ver plaid, they took away the freedom and coolness of the first two games and just made everything clumsy, annoying and troublesome -with that "counter" you're forced to attack all boses in one or two ways or you eat shit unless you're playing on easy, it's nuts.
Unpopular opinion but I liked Disgaea 6. Even after playing Disgaea 5, 6 had a better story, more interesting characters, and loads of QOL features that made it worth playing. Is it better than D5? No. Is it fun? I think so.
Why on earth is persona 3 the game RUclips chose to represent this video?
BABY BABY BABY BABY
On the topic of SMT V and it's AMAZING music, top ranks have to go to the Credits theme of all things. It's just the perfect bow on the entire wait.

the happy console gamer is a huge ys fan

My favorite game this year was Blue Reflection: 2nd Light. Yes, I'm serious.
5 is probably Atlus' most unlucky number, CAUSE both SMT and Persona had me waiting many years for crap.
I'm an Ys mega fan, we exist!
Glad to hear from ya.
lmao that ending.
yeah totally agree with you on smt 5 and pokemon

You leave Kasumi alone! She is precious and must be protected at all cost
