IT'S HEREEEEEEEEEEEE. Enjoy my last vid of the year! I forgot to mention I'll be on...semi break in January. (Meaning I may not post but know I'll be gamin!) Look forward to another list video, reviews on Legend of Legaia and Trails of Cold Steel !! And I'm not gonna lie Legend of Legaia has really put me into a PS1 mood, so I'm looking at Vagrant Story and Vagrant Story is lookin' at me! As always be sure to support me on Patreon and have a great new year!! www.patreon.com/c/PelvicGaming
You are the first person I check reviews from when I consider picking up a JRPG, I find it very refreshing how you both praise aspects of the games but also are critical enough to acknowledge where a game might fall short, it can make a different between me spending my money and my time for something that just isn't for me. I think watching hype/positive reviews is fun, but it's not what I personally look for. Happy New Year!!
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: I love your honesty. Your honesty is what keeps me coming back for more. Sponsored or not, I will keep coming back. You are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I’ll always click wherever a video pops up. I’m proud of how much you’ve grown over the years, and I’m thankful to past me for clicking a link on Facebook to bring me your channel. I don’t know what else I can say other than keep up the awesome awesome work. 🙂
Thing with "games you've never played" lists is people expect you'll materialize some unknowns out of the ether. Reality is there's enough readily available information out there that no game can remain undetected hidden gem for long. Even the Chinese RPG scene is opening up.
Ahhh! The Legend of Dragoon menu music at the end of the video got me feeling things! My boy Lavitz for life! Thanks for always being you Pelvic and Happy New Year!
I’m still in shock you love romancing saga 2 so much. That to me proves that even if you have a type of game that you like, you give every game a fair chance and if you love it you love it. Queen of slay taste.
I'm honestly shocked i love it so much myself. As a character driven person and considering you didn't play the most thrilling characters.. I was hooked! And yes it's important to try all sorts of game because you'll never know what you may or maynot fall in love with!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Your passion is so raw and real, and your love for good music is dope AF, I can see the real work and love you put into making them. Your makeup is always on point and flawless. Thank you for being the amazing woman you are. I always look forward to watching what you put out. 💚 p.s. The Legend Of Dragoon music is life.
I am going to continue watching your videos. The honest and sincere take on games, even those you don't like but I do, it's great for a change. You speak your heart out, and that's good, no matter the subject.
I've had a great time watching your vids this year Pelvic. My top two favorites have got to be your Paper Mario review and your Japan trip storytime with Valerie. Can't wait to see what you cook up in the New Year!
Second year watching your retrospective videos and I’m now looking forward to them! I’ve been considering playing two little known JRPGs that you might be interested in - G.O.D: Heed the Call to Awaken and LISA. You know, if you want to add more to your backlog :)
Ayyye been waiting for this video. I don't play as much JRPG's like I did back in the day but at some point will play most of the ones you reviewed (I got my Persona 3 Reload physical copy!). Also congrats on the success this year, you've been uploading some good content and can't wait to see more next year. Also I'm sooo looking forward to Expedition 33. I remember seeing the trailer and was like "eh realism probably some shooter or something" then boom turned based combat. Looking forward to that review as well.
In defence of nitpicking I actually enjoy it quite a lot! It’s a lot more useful and interesting to me to hear a nuanced take about something minor rather than a big sweeping generalisation of “it’s good” or “it’s bad”. Like I don’t know what some of those other people are doing but when I follow a RUclipsr I actually want to hear what they think! Also LOVE your clapping back at the haters. It’s always wild to me when people leave hate comments and yet stay subscribed and watch all the videos just to complain. Like thanks for the engagement I guess but couldn’t be me!
I appreciate that outlook. I try to find a balance, to get into the nitty gritty, but also not let it drag on for too much. Thank you so much for watching! DUDE COULDN'T BE ME EITHER. lf there is a channel I dislike, fine, but I'd just ya know, block and move on. Wouldn't give 'em a second thought! They're just built different I guess.
I'm a new subscriber, came from the recommendations of rpgs you (probably) never played. Radiant Historia in the thumbnail made me click and it was, in fact, the only game I've played on that list, though I've heard of all of them (but the title was NOT "rpgs you've never heard of" so no complains here). You are very charismatic, I'm loving hearing your honest opinions. Hope your channel keeps growing. Have a great new year!
Hello and welcome!! Thank you for joining the Pelvic Region Legion lmfao. Thank you for watching, and I hope you find a few games on that list that you want to play! :D
Great wrap-up video Lady Pelvic. From my perspective, the negative comments are really quite silly - given we are talking about a hobby such as gaming. For what it’s worth, I (and obviously others) obviously enjoy your commentary and perspectives. Happy new year and happy holidays!
stoked for lunar, suikoden 1 2, and expedition as well ! as far as different tastes, it doesnt affect me, i dont care to have only people/content creators that view everything as i do. also what was the song at the end, i know it but couldnt ID it !
Keep doing your thing sis! Your reviews are fair, informative, and you can tell you ACTUALLY put the work in to learn the ins and outs of the game. If no ever told you, that Pokemon trainer video you made was hilarious!
Massive congrats Pelvic on the 53k subs this year!!!!! Also thanks for the usual great content throughout the year this year as well. Looking forward to what next year brings.
Even the big accounts request the subscriptions and notifications, they just do. I’ve also seen a few creators add some stats to that and it makes the ask more real. I bought P3R after your highly detailed review and comparison really sold me on why I would bother after I’d already played Portable. Good work from you and smart partnership from Atlus as well.
I love to beat a dead horse, but in 2025 give Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Fantasian: Neo Dimension a look. Just a slight little stare, a tiny little peak. Congrats on another awesome year, still one of the most cozy JRPG channels out there. ❤
ANOTHER VIDEO? Lady P is spoiling us y'all. 😁 I totally agree with you on Eiyuden Chronicle as well. I struggled to get about 10 hrs in and haven't gone back to it since it came out. The story just didnt grab me and I wasn't the biggest fan of the combat and "gimmicks." It actually made me want to revisit the Suikoden series. I'm planning on going through all 5.
Take the sponsorships and pay the bills. There's nothing wrong with being paid for the entertainment and insights you provide. Thank you for all of it!
People are way too overprotective of their favorite games. Them basically just saying you're better off not playing 7 because you'll be "too nitpicky" is an indictment on them, not on you. If someone can't handle having even minor flaws pointed out in their favorite games then they probably shouldn't be watching reviews period. Also Redux is CLEARLY the better version of Strange Journey. I get the change in art style is hard to get over, but overall the game is just a better quality experience. Fuck the haters, just because they don't like something doesn't mean they gotta shit on people who are fine with or even enjoy it. I'm not a big fan of lots of games but you won't catch me ACTUALLY thinking someone has bad taste because they like or dislike something I have the opposite opinion on. It's just video games people, chill the fuck out. Art is subjective and all that noise.
Thank you. And I agree. At the end of the day, it's my opinion, if you agree with me great, if ya don't, great. It will not make FF7 any more or any less better for another. Also REDUX SUPERIORITY!!! I agree with the art style, BUT they ADDED art which made *a moment* incredibly more impactful imo. But that aside, I had a significantly smoother playthrough of a game that was already kicking my ass. I agree. People don't like games I love all the time. I genuinely, do not care, there is nothing anyone can say to make me hate Tales of Graces F. lmfao.
@@PelvicGaming Exactly. It's just not worth the mental effort to get pissed about people having a different opinion on video games. I don't get how people like competitive shooters for example but like I don't care enough to complain if one of my friends is playing that over something I like such as Alliance Alive or FF14 or whatever my obsession is that week.
For 2025, may I suggest Saga Frontier 2 (emulated) or maybe hopefully they'll release the remaster/remake by then. I've played it before, but never beat it for some reason, probably because I was a dumb kid. This game is a masterpiece. The best Saga game in the series, and square needs to give it the Revenge of the Seven treatment, but HD-2D, NO 3D models, and some voice acting. If they do what they did to Final Fantasy Tactics War of The Lions, you will be eating well... 🙃
Although I often disagree with you, I value your opinion very much because you are passionate about the RPG genre and you speak sincerely without trying to please the public.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't get into eiyuden chronicles. I played it on the xbox, so there weren't any technical issues that i noticed. It just didn't grab me. Honestly it made me want to go back and just play suikoden again.
Great vid and happy holidays. I am looking forward to the viewers' comments video. Also, I can't wait for the expedition to come out. Palworld, DQ 3D, and POE2 are filling the void until then. Ps. Mom and Daughter DND when?
I am still waiting to get my copy of chained echos as well I forgot all about until i saw one of your recent vids that shit sucks! But your cool keep up the great work Pelvic!
I have watched your videos for years and you definitely do mention when you think that you might be being knit-picky. if I could find a physical copy of Chained Echoes, I would happily buy it and send it to you. it is getting DLC this year, so maybe it will have a new physical edition after that comes out? Let me know if there is some way that I can get you to play this, what I feel is overlooked, game.
I get the Eiyuden hate but ugh I just loved Eiyuden Chronicle - tbf I got it recently on PS5 on sale and had no expectations except a pretty older style RPG and was very happy with it
Maybe I'll go back to it, admittedly the biggest blight of that game was the technical issues on the Switch. No exaggeration it was B A D. I'm glad they've cleaned it up, and maybe one day I'll go back to my darling Franchesa. Best healer
@@PelvicGamingto be fair, I hadn’t played Suikoden 1 or 2 back in the day, so I had nothing to compare it to. Your vids actually made me want to check them out and I put about 10 hrs into Sui 1 when they announced the Remaster and I stopped (can’t wait for that btw). I only heard horror stories about the technical issues and that really suuuucks. I dunno, maybe it’s an instance where a Eiyuden 2 could clean some stuff up, modernize some things (please let me save on the world map cmon) and do well 💁🏼♀️
Loved the way you handled the comments! I do wish some people would understand that their opinion or your opinion wasn't the be-all, end-all on these games. Great video either way! Also P.S. you showing your copy of P3R just reminds me I need to go back and finish it.
Excellent choices for background music; just off the top of my head, Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Dragoon, and that one Kid Icarus: Uprising song I like! Since you liked Romancing SaGa 2 (I did, too, though I only played the demo), might I give another little nudge toward SaGa Frontier? It's definitely... fussy, and it takes a bit (twenty-some years for me lol) to fully master every aspect of the battle system, but Zaraktheus put out a lot of great material for that, finally grasping something is SUPER satisfying, and the characters and plotlines are some of the most unique I've seen; Emelia's "bad" ending still gets me emotional, and Asellus's life is so eerily similar to my own it's not even funny. I know there's a remaster that came out in recent years, but I can't say I know a whole lot about it.
I had no idea you had those issues with Chained Echoes, thats really unfortunate. I really hope they give you your money back or give you the actual game
"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" (hehe) Currently playing 'Red Dead Redemption' on the Switch. 🤠🐎 Have a great New Year and I hope 2025 surpasses all your expectations.
Regarding Cold steel series, they do get better in my opinion. 1 isn't the best reflection of the series. Also the way you were with Majoras mask, I was the same with Final Fantasy 9 back in the early 2000's, nobody cared or was talking about it, however FFX did overshadow it
Don't worry, I've been trying to get into FF7 since it came out. I was 11 and all my friends were hyped about it. It just doesn't grab me. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete won me over that year..and within the next year, Brave Fencer Mushashi. I've tried multiple times to get into it through the decades, and literally am trying it again on the Switch this past week and...I still think it'll be a DNF. Inspired to try FF5 though after your review!
I don’t understand why people get mad at RUclipsrs who take sponsorships. You become a RUclipsr to make money and you make money through sponsorships. I say get all of them you can!
Have you tried looking at JRPG inspired TTRPGs like Fabula Ultima and Ryuutama? Not sure if TTRPGs are your vibe, but you seem like you'd be amazing as either a player or GM.
Urgh stop making me want to buy Romancing SaGa 2. It's so tempting to get right now. and the praise your giving for it isn't helping, that said I totally agree with you about Eiyuuden Chronicles unfortunately. It had potential but like... it needed maybe a bit more time in the oven? Although side question, I've never played Rogue Galaxy. Despite your experience would you recommend it and would you recommend a physical version or Digitally? Have a great rest of your 2024 and may great things comes to you in 2025!
It's soooooooo gooooooooood~! And yeah EC.... it was missing SOMETHING. That SPARK. It needed more time but... for what specifically? I would recommend it IF you haven't played ABC/XYZ games that are far better. Haha. I played it on...I think my ps4 digitally. Thank you and you too!
As someone who used to name Secret of Mana as their favorite SNES game, it can kiss my ass as well. It has a lot of strong points, but the gameplay just DOES NOT hold up.
About having different opinions, personally i dont even like RPGs. I like Zelda, just not all of them, i dont like Majoras Mask for example. I watch this channel because it's nice to get to know what other people like in things even when i dont enjoy it myself. Like... why do people get upset if someone dont enjoy the same thing as them? In what way is that a problem? It's strange to see so many people be upset at something like that, when it's not like there's a lack of relevant things to be upset about in this world...
legend of legaia is a favorite of mine. there is a second legaia which i also bought but it felt so different from the first and as far as i know it's not an actual sequel of the first game's story so lost interest and didn't finish it.
Legend of LeGaia: I remember really liking this game for the first 2/3s, then around that final 1/3 it became a massive grind, and things like learning spells from enemies took forever to happen, and I could never finish the game. And I tried at least 3 times and gave up about the same part each time. I'm looking forward to the review to see how you viewed that last 1/3 of the game. Eiyuden Chronicles: I think for me, this was the worst designed "good" game I've ever played. The entire game was basically me seeing them do something, and ask, why the fuck are you doing this, how does this make the game better? Not even, they tried and it sucked, but things like giving you a character that takes up 2 party slots and making them weaker in all ways than other one party slot characters, or making the cooking mini-game that is required to recruit a character time gated (so if you didn't start it early you're stuck doing nothing fora while to advance the next step) and that you have to do like 20 times to recruit a character 80% RNG on who likes what. And basically every mini-game to recruit characters either completely sucked (cooking) or didn't work (the sand dune that couldn't turn left). And the core game was fine, story was fine, but it was just, so many god awful design choices in the game completely ruined my experience with it. And FWIW, I like your content because you offer different viewpoints. My favorite game ever is FF6. You playfully shittalk it almost as much as 7. Doesn't bother me. Been plenty of reviews I've disagreed on, but I get where you're coming from and respect the other viewpoint. Long as there's some solid basis for a take, I'm fine hearing stuff that might make me reconsider my own takes.
Games you’ve never played showed me a good amount of games I never played and one I played at your recommendation. Again…vids aren’t good for my pockets
The thumbnail to this video was a little too similar to the one before it. I almost didn't click for that reason, thinking I had already watched. Admittedly, my eyesight isn't the best. Not saying this as a complaint, just hoping it helps you avoid other people making the mistake I almost did.
I enjoy your videos, but I'm gonna be fairly harsh here in terms of explaining where any negativity comes from. You're not doing anything mind blowing. You're making basic videos talking about your fairly surface level takes on games. No deep analysis or saying anything terribly new or unique, just giving your opinion. Which is cool, but it's gonna itch on some that you're starting to take money for your videos and as much as you may insist your opinions are your own, nobody can dismiss the obvious reality that if you were overly negative about games from companies giving you money, you'd get blacklisted and for a smaller channel, that can hurt if you stop getting paid or having free copies of games. So people are quite rightfully more skeptical of people who are getting compensation in some form from these companies. Even if it doesn't mean you're gonna hype everything to the moon, it can very easily put a high floor on the level of criticism you're willing to give something. Bottom line, consumers and viewers can and should be skeptical of the opinions of anybody taking money from companies who make the things they're reviewing. We'd be stupid not to and no amount of 'reassuring' viewers is gonna change that. Not saying to stop taking money or free games, just dont try and be defensive about it. Own it and get on with things.
I hear you, and idk if you have seen any other vids of mine but I've certainly owed it. Said I understood, and yeah. Dunno what else you want. I think it's fair to be skeptical, but it doesn't change the fact what I'm saying is true. Two things can be true at once. And if people chose to attack me on it, I have every right to *defend* myself.
@@PelvicGaming Weird I'll repost because I don't see it in my Comment history either I'll try and remember what I said so it may not be the same I love your videos Pelvic, I been subbed to you for years You're insightful, honest and you enjoy talking about games whether you like them or not You're playing one of my favourite games (Legend of Legaia) and look forward to your review Have a Happy New Year 🥰 Hopefully this won't get removed 😂
Why final fantasy 5? Why not FF6? It's way fuckin better. Uh, but I can't knock you for your taste. In final fantasy games, that's the beauty of final fantasy.Everyone has a favorite and they're all different.
IT'S HEREEEEEEEEEEEE. Enjoy my last vid of the year! I forgot to mention I'll be on...semi break in January. (Meaning I may not post but know I'll be gamin!)

Legend of Dragoon menu music in the background 23:18 happy new year 🎉

Its SUCH a great menu theme. Alas I could never play Lavtiz, his timings were too difficult.

Ive been wanting to play this since i found out about it in 2009 i cant wait to play!!!
it's only up from here, Pelvic! So so so proud of you.

ANOTHER VIDEO? Lady P is spoiling us y'all. 😁
I totally agree with you on Eiyuden Chronicle as well. I struggled to get about 10 hrs in and haven't gone back to it since it came out. The story just didnt grab me and I wasn't the biggest fan of the combat and "gimmicks." It actually made me want to revisit the Suikoden series. I'm planning on going through all 5.

Take the sponsorships and pay the bills. There's nothing wrong with being paid for the entertainment and insights you provide. Thank you for all of it!
Update: A song that gives me the feels is Melodies of Life from FF9. I choke on tears every damn time I listen which is often.😅
Thank you! Rest assured, I will!! And Melodies of Life is a solid choice. It's the ending of FF9 for me, the entire package got me fucked up haha.

Ive recently gotten myself down a JRPG spiral. its been a great a year of games
For 2025, may I suggest Saga Frontier 2 (emulated) or maybe hopefully they'll release the remaster/remake by then. I've played it before, but never beat it for some reason, probably because I was a dumb kid. This game is a masterpiece. The best Saga game in the series, and square needs to give it the Revenge of the Seven treatment, but HD-2D, NO 3D models, and some voice acting. If they do what they did to Final Fantasy Tactics War of The Lions, you will be eating well... 🙃
Although I often disagree with you, I value your opinion very much because you are passionate about the RPG genre and you speak sincerely without trying to please the public.
Thank you, I truly appreciate that. :) Happy new year!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't get into eiyuden chronicles. I played it on the xbox, so there weren't any technical issues that i noticed. It just didn't grab me. Honestly it made me want to go back and just play suikoden again.
I completely agree with your take on Persona 3 Reload and Saga 2. Metaphor Refantazio is also one of my faves. Amazing games!
Great vid and happy holidays. I am looking forward to the viewers' comments video. Also, I can't wait for the expedition to come out. Palworld, DQ 3D, and POE2 are filling the void until then. Ps. Mom and Daughter DND when?
Here's to a Pelvic-y 2025
I am still waiting to get my copy of chained echos as well I forgot all about until i saw one of your recent vids that shit sucks! But your cool keep up the great work Pelvic!
Yeah. It sucks but aside from that! Happy gaming!
I have watched your videos for years and you definitely do mention when you think that you might be being knit-picky. if I could find a physical copy of Chained Echoes, I would happily buy it and send it to you. it is getting DLC this year, so maybe it will have a new physical edition after that comes out? Let me know if there is some way that I can get you to play this, what I feel is overlooked, game.
I can't believe you! Finish up a video about a year in review with what you are looking forward to in the upcoming year! Such a girl gamer move.
Trails 3rd and Eiyuden couldn't keep my attention either
I can’t wait to see what you’ll play next in 2025 ❤❤❤
Damn girl Square is throwing the bag at you to play their games. Didn't know you had it like that respect.
The give me my motherfucking money back I felt that in my soul!
I get the Eiyuden hate but ugh I just loved Eiyuden Chronicle - tbf I got it recently on PS5 on sale and had no expectations except a pretty older style RPG and was very happy with it
Maybe I'll go back to it, admittedly the biggest blight of that game was the technical issues on the Switch. No exaggeration it was B A D. I'm glad they've cleaned it up, and maybe one day I'll go back to my darling Franchesa. Best healer
@@PelvicGamingto be fair, I hadn’t played Suikoden 1 or 2 back in the day, so I had nothing to compare it to. Your vids actually made me want to check them out and I put about 10 hrs into Sui 1 when they announced the Remaster and I stopped (can’t wait for that btw). I only heard horror stories about the technical issues and that really suuuucks. I dunno, maybe it’s an instance where a Eiyuden 2 could clean some stuff up, modernize some things (please let me save on the world map cmon) and do well 💁🏼♀️
Loved the way you handled the comments! I do wish some people would understand that their opinion or your opinion wasn't the be-all, end-all on these games. Great video either way! Also P.S. you showing your copy of P3R just reminds me I need to go back and finish it.
I like your unique reviews. Goodbye, I'll wait in 2025😊
Excellent choices for background music; just off the top of my head, Seiken Densetsu 3, Legend of Dragoon, and that one Kid Icarus: Uprising song I like! Since you liked Romancing SaGa 2 (I did, too, though I only played the demo), might I give another little nudge toward SaGa Frontier? It's definitely... fussy, and it takes a bit (twenty-some years for me lol) to fully master every aspect of the battle system, but Zaraktheus put out a lot of great material for that, finally grasping something is SUPER satisfying, and the characters and plotlines are some of the most unique I've seen; Emelia's "bad" ending still gets me emotional, and Asellus's life is so eerily similar to my own it's not even funny. I know there's a remaster that came out in recent years, but I can't say I know a whole lot about it.
I had no idea you had those issues with Chained Echoes, thats really unfortunate. I really hope they give you your money back or give you the actual game
"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" (hehe)
Currently playing 'Red Dead Redemption' on the Switch. 🤠🐎
Have a great New Year and I hope 2025 surpasses all your expectations.
8:50 I love you, even though you don't like Gundam
Thank you for accepting me for who I am.
I don’t need anyone else to like a game for me to do so. However, if I hope for a sequel, I would prefer that it get a good reception sales wise
I kept the last video in my watch later to rewatch when I am looking for a game to play lol
I’m so here for the Xenoblade Chronicles X love
Regarding Cold steel series, they do get better in my opinion. 1 isn't the best reflection of the series. Also the way you were with Majoras mask, I was the same with Final Fantasy 9 back in the early 2000's, nobody cared or was talking about it, however FFX did overshadow it
Don't worry, I've been trying to get into FF7 since it came out. I was 11 and all my friends were hyped about it. It just doesn't grab me. Lunar Silver Star Story Complete won me over that year..and within the next year, Brave Fencer Mushashi. I've tried multiple times to get into it through the decades, and literally am trying it again on the Switch this past week and...I still think it'll be a DNF. Inspired to try FF5 though after your review!
I guess you know now😅
Hahaha I sure do!
I started paper Mario but been stuck in the beginning for months can’t figure out how to continue after beating the first boss
It’s OK to look up a walkthrough if you get stuck on a game.
I don’t understand why people get mad at RUclipsrs who take sponsorships. You become a RUclipsr to make money and you make money through sponsorships. I say get all of them you can!
I have the same problem with chained echoes. They've had the money so long and still no ship date.
Yuuuuup. Its ticking me off.
This 💍 is waiting for you in 2025
Have you tried looking at JRPG inspired TTRPGs like Fabula Ultima and Ryuutama? Not sure if TTRPGs are your vibe, but you seem like you'd be amazing as either a player or GM.
Agreed on Trails the 3rd, it just did not hit
Urgh stop making me want to buy Romancing SaGa 2. It's so tempting to get right now. and the praise your giving for it isn't helping, that said I totally agree with you about Eiyuuden Chronicles unfortunately. It had potential but like... it needed maybe a bit more time in the oven?
Although side question, I've never played Rogue Galaxy. Despite your experience would you recommend it and would you recommend a physical version or Digitally?
Have a great rest of your 2024 and may great things comes to you in 2025!
It's soooooooo gooooooooood~! And yeah EC.... it was missing SOMETHING. That SPARK. It needed more time but... for what specifically?
I would recommend it IF you haven't played ABC/XYZ games that are far better. Haha. I played it on...I think my ps4 digitally.
Thank you and you too!
As someone who used to name Secret of Mana as their favorite SNES game, it can kiss my ass as well. It has a lot of strong points, but the gameplay just DOES NOT hold up.
Any love for FF8
Haaa! The way you subtly/brutally picked apart the trolls. Lot of egos just got cancelled by ReviewBrah jr😅
About having different opinions, personally i dont even like RPGs. I like Zelda, just not all of them, i dont like Majoras Mask for example. I watch this channel because it's nice to get to know what other people like in things even when i dont enjoy it myself. Like... why do people get upset if someone dont enjoy the same thing as them? In what way is that a problem? It's strange to see so many people be upset at something like that, when it's not like there's a lack of relevant things to be upset about in this world...
legend of legaia is a favorite of mine. there is a second legaia which i also bought but it felt so different from the first and as far as i know it's not an actual sequel of the first game's story so lost interest and didn't finish it.
Legend of LeGaia: I remember really liking this game for the first 2/3s, then around that final 1/3 it became a massive grind, and things like learning spells from enemies took forever to happen, and I could never finish the game. And I tried at least 3 times and gave up about the same part each time. I'm looking forward to the review to see how you viewed that last 1/3 of the game.
Eiyuden Chronicles: I think for me, this was the worst designed "good" game I've ever played. The entire game was basically me seeing them do something, and ask, why the fuck are you doing this, how does this make the game better? Not even, they tried and it sucked, but things like giving you a character that takes up 2 party slots and making them weaker in all ways than other one party slot characters, or making the cooking mini-game that is required to recruit a character time gated (so if you didn't start it early you're stuck doing nothing fora while to advance the next step) and that you have to do like 20 times to recruit a character 80% RNG on who likes what. And basically every mini-game to recruit characters either completely sucked (cooking) or didn't work (the sand dune that couldn't turn left). And the core game was fine, story was fine, but it was just, so many god awful design choices in the game completely ruined my experience with it.
And FWIW, I like your content because you offer different viewpoints. My favorite game ever is FF6. You playfully shittalk it almost as much as 7. Doesn't bother me. Been plenty of reviews I've disagreed on, but I get where you're coming from and respect the other viewpoint. Long as there's some solid basis for a take, I'm fine hearing stuff that might make me reconsider my own takes.
I think you should play ff7 remake/rebirth trilogy first then the original
if you looking for games with the old blocky look like ff7 and legaia try shadow madness, ii don't like it much but who knows you might.
The last comment 💀💀💀💀 sums up heterosexual women experience I guess lololololololol
Games you’ve never played showed me a good amount of games I never played and one I played at your recommendation. Again…vids aren’t good for my pockets
The thumbnail to this video was a little too similar to the one before it. I almost didn't click for that reason, thinking I had already watched. Admittedly, my eyesight isn't the best. Not saying this as a complaint, just hoping it helps you avoid other people making the mistake I almost did.
Nah, I think that's great feedback and something I'll certainly be keeping in mind for the future! Thank you, and happy new year!
@PelvicGaming Thank you for all your work on the channel and sharing your mind and spirit with us!
B-b-but! Your opinion is objectively wrong! /s
I enjoy your videos, but I'm gonna be fairly harsh here in terms of explaining where any negativity comes from. You're not doing anything mind blowing. You're making basic videos talking about your fairly surface level takes on games. No deep analysis or saying anything terribly new or unique, just giving your opinion. Which is cool, but it's gonna itch on some that you're starting to take money for your videos and as much as you may insist your opinions are your own, nobody can dismiss the obvious reality that if you were overly negative about games from companies giving you money, you'd get blacklisted and for a smaller channel, that can hurt if you stop getting paid or having free copies of games. So people are quite rightfully more skeptical of people who are getting compensation in some form from these companies. Even if it doesn't mean you're gonna hype everything to the moon, it can very easily put a high floor on the level of criticism you're willing to give something. Bottom line, consumers and viewers can and should be skeptical of the opinions of anybody taking money from companies who make the things they're reviewing. We'd be stupid not to and no amount of 'reassuring' viewers is gonna change that. Not saying to stop taking money or free games, just dont try and be defensive about it. Own it and get on with things.
I hear you, and idk if you have seen any other vids of mine but I've certainly owed it. Said I understood, and yeah. Dunno what else you want. I think it's fair to be skeptical, but it doesn't change the fact what I'm saying is true. Two things can be true at once. And if people chose to attack me on it, I have every right to *defend* myself.
So my comment was removed
No idea why considering it was praising you
Something I said ?
I guess I won't leave comments
You can remove this one too
Uhhh, I haven't removed any comments??? O.o
@@PelvicGaming Weird I'll repost because I don't see it in my Comment history either
I'll try and remember what I said so it may not be the same
I love your videos Pelvic, I been subbed to you for years
You're insightful, honest and you enjoy talking about games whether you like them or not
You're playing one of my favourite games (Legend of Legaia) and look forward to your review
Have a Happy New Year 🥰
Hopefully this won't get removed 😂
Why final fantasy 5? Why not FF6? It's way fuckin better. Uh, but I can't knock you for your taste. In final fantasy games, that's the beauty of final fantasy.Everyone has a favorite and they're all different.
...because I didn't play it this year...
