      Played through the game twice, and you're right about the.... shadow born, spiritual incest. I had to double check it myself since this was my first Fatal Frame (sadly) and was like "What.. did she!?"
      As for the endings, each character has a good and bad ending. For Yuri you must defeat the final boss while she's in human form during the final battle, for Miu, you have to catch up and take a picture of your mother Miku at Twilight Peek, as for Ren.... I got the bad ending.
      I chose Shiragiku, and let her do her thing. The two good endings are to either choose and then attack her with the camera, or the Best(?) ending is to choose Kurosawa then glance her.

      Had to double check, the most risque costumes from the Japanese Wii U version were removed from all versions of the remaster.
      Yuri had black and lace lingerie, while Miu had a white string bikini with matching boots and scarf.
      (Not sure if this was mentioned, the US Release of the games have aged up all the characters to be of legal age. 18yrs old or older)

    Ghost marriage in this game is a perverted form of the traditional ghost marriage. The actual ghost marriage was held in Japan when young men and women died before marriage. They are 'ghost married' like a funeral so they won't be alone in the after life. No one alive is normally involved

    Regarding the criterias for the endings:
    Yuri: It depends on where you fatal glance Ose at the end. If you do a fatal glance while she's in her underwater form you'll get the "Embrace" ending which is basically Yuri's bad ending. In it she commits non-ad friendly with Ose by jumping off the cliff because Ose's final wish was to die with Yuri. You got the good ending for her because you glanced her in her above water form.
    Miu: It depends if you managed to photograph all of Miku's spirits at the end section. If you did, you get the good ending, if you didn't, you get the bad ending, which is Miku passing on into the afterlife with Mafuyu, leaving Miu.
    Ren: Ren's endings are pretty much the same (I think maybe?) it really just depends on if you want to have a resolution for Ose or Shiragiku.
    I hope you manage to understand my yapping, Yuri's criteria is pretty iffy because you'd never think about where to do the fatal glance on her.

    • @AvalancheReviews

    good vs bad is simply either ending the fight in the light, or ending the fight underwater, if you end it underwater, well thats clearly bad.

      @soraudagawa3022 13 дней назад

      I don't really think so. The ending of FF3 is all about accepting that the dead are dead. She accepts it and tries to move on. They also would have had to explain Rei disappearing mysteriously and such, which doesn't make sense to me when I doubt Rei would try to desperately find Yuu after he's gone.
      Although the Miku plot point made no sense either since Miku accepted Mafuyu being dead in FF3. To me It feels like the devs didn't actually play the first 3 games at all and just watched a synopsis online or something like that.

    I played this game when it came out on Steam, weary because a lot of people said it was the worst Fatal Frame game in the series. I must have pissed a lot of people when it became my favorite almost instantly. Love the water curse mechanic, love the ghosts and their individual quirks and love the combat system. I remember being legit startled when a ghost punished me for using a lock-on feature. Those movie segments were also really creepy and I find whole water/drowning theme very effective. Can't wait to make time to watch this video properly.

    • @AvalancheReviews

    • @ThatDjinn
      @ThatDjinn 5 месяцев назад +3

      @@AvalancheReviews Just to respond to the coomer bait criticism after watching the video - there is evidence that fear and arousal are connected, one being able to amplify the other, which is why fanservice works well in horror for some people. There were plenty of times, especially recently (TLoU2, BG3) where the game was vulgar with sex that was not sexy at all and it only made me uncomfortable or disgusted. MoBW was in my opinion just about right. I personally never caught myself being taken out of a moment just because of fanservice and the game did enough to justify itself with the whole water theme. It's not often that you get fanservice that has logical, thematical and mechanical connection to the events happening within the game. S+, would try out all costumes to see them in their cursed state again.
      And I agree. Ghost visions were always a treat when the game gave you a chance to get them. Very intense too.

    Go to mountain, rescue someone, bring them back to the shop, watch the place FNAF-sytle, then someone dissappears, go back to mountain and repeat.....
    I did not enjoy the gameplay. I found some of the encounters to be incredibly frustrating. Did not like the mission based structure either.
    And I absolutely hated the "water mechanic". To me it was pointless and I would have been totally fine without it.

      My take is that the end of level screens only exist because RE4 is a thing - and the devs lacked the wherewithal to understand that the difference in tone made them inappropriate for their game.
      (I don't think they were all that well suited to RE4 either tbh)
      Japanese devs are always doing dumb shit like this - like when RE Revelations copied Alan Wake's TV episode format.

    Unfortunately, you have not got the plot wrong. Mafuyu, Miku's brother is the father of Miu. They never "get busy" but still werid. Originally, Kei from the 3rd game was supposed to be Miku's ghost partner however due to the premise was dropped as there were stop story holes having miku seeking out Kei, they switched to Mafuyu and cements the good ending that Miu is the grounding force for Miku. If you look at Miu's appearance, she does have a combination of Kei and Miku's appearance.

    Nice video! This is my favorite horror series and I love 5 to death, 4 being my favorite entry (on the Wii, I don't like how the remaster looks funnily enough). But I understand all the negative points you mentioned and I even share most of them, I just enjoy the game so damn much, what can I say 😆. Hope they continue it someday and I would love to see a mixup of the old PS2 titles with the combat of 5. Overall great retrospective, It's cool to see someone who likes aspects of the games and also gives fair critizism to one of my favorite franchises, even this video being a little negative, but you are so polite I can't even get mad about it haha.

    A great review as always, having a balance of interesting points and humour. Injecting fun and personality into videos makes them so enjoyable( despite some the dark subject matter)
    I haven't got right to the end as I put my comment so sorry if you go over this later. I agree with a lot of what you've said about character design. Having an attractive character design is enjoyable but it's not necessary to over-sexualise these characters when it's not part of the gameplay/story. Games with uncomfortably young-looking characters in games like these or Japanese anime can be a bit weird sometimes.
    I liked Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn because she wasn't over-sexualised and more importantly there wasn't an option to romance. That was 'her' choice and not the players.
    In the inverse to that, with each new Mass Effect title, there is an obsession to make every character Bisexual and now have to describe them as pansexual.
    Attractiveness and sexualised don't have to be the same thing, it's nice to have these points being made in a more relaxed way.

      And even the good parts are bogged down with the super grindy combat which I just don't understand.
      The judgement series perfected the dragon engine combat and then 7 and 8 are both very grind 15 hours to progress turn based combat.

    Fatal frame. A series describing how hell various unsavory environmental apsects need to be kept supressed away in order not for them to flood out and override the world of the living.
    Common themes involve folklores and pain of loss of loved ones as well as failed rituals and lots of murders. Thats a start.
    Each installment of the game also have a large group of people acting as guardians of earth settling near to each hell hole and using horrific rituals on sacrificial humans to seal the gates. The logic being if a sacrificed human can take on the pain of the ritual itself this strength will be enough to keep hell away for a while. Eventually in each installment someone will bound to screw up and the ritual will fail and it is up to each installment protagonists to laid the spirits to rest and their salvation and deliverance will be another source of strength as well as a second chance to properly seal and send the darkness of hell away.

    I don't remember having access to costumes on my first playthrough on the WiiU version, I think they made them available with the Remaster, I think they added a load also. I could be wrong, but I don't remember them. Thats seems like a remaster-y thing to do and not a wise choice.
    I agree that FF5 is a good game, some very good elements, but also some of the traditional aspects and direction are a bit lacking.
    One of the small changes I appreciate though is that a lot of ghosts in this are not introduced with a cutscene.
    I don't really scare at all, regardless of the game, and definitely not when something is shown to me in a 10 second cutscene where you can see the "horror" in complete detail, where you have no control and are totally safe. However, I have vivid memories of some ghosts in FF5 just appearing suddenly, from the sky or through a window, out of nowhere, which is way more effective than a cutscene as you can't see it clearly, you have no idea what exactly it is or what it does, and there is the real danger of damage or death in that moment.
    SH3 does this well, the intro sequence has you walking through a gate and then suddenly 2 enemy types never seen before (As the game has literally just started) are in there with you. It's dark, you can't see them well or in detail, you don't really know what exactly they are, if you can deal with them or how and you then have to find your way out and they are after you. This goes forward into the Mall as well, being attacked by some kind of flying thing, but there are so many other enemies after me too combined with the lack of visibility and lack of resources stop and try to deal with them all on Hard mode, I have no idea wtf it is exactly, I'm just getting out of there and trying not to take damage.
    I think this is also why the SH1 first enemy encounter in the otherworld transition is so effective, and the SH2 first enemy encounter is not. One is fully visible in a 15+ second cutscene and the other is you in full control whilst literally unknown horrors descend on you. You couldn't do this all the time, some bosses for instance may suffer without proper build up, however I think that in terms of horror this philosophy in how enemies first appear is the most impactful, some real "oh shit... wtf is that, whats going on" moments that you then have to brave or run away from and you have to figure out what exactly your facing through that process.

    This along with Spirit Camera on NDS are the only FF I haven't touched directly. When I saw that it was a WiiU exclusive I knew I had to skip on this because I don't own the console and just watch playthroughs of it (and luckily, I came across a channel that translates JP releases at the time). Horror-wise, it definitely fell from its predecessors aside from a couple of enemy design and moments such as the tall lady which is based on real-life urban legend. One noticeable thing is that the team that worked on it definitely left their "trademark" (Team Ninja, the one behind DoA fighting game) with the fanservicey stuff, although the wet clothing stuff is kinda smart since it's rooted in the game's mechanic + lore. Kinda sad that while FF4 tend to make the players explore different locations (especially when you compare the places you explore with Choushiro vs the girls), FF5 went back to FF3's style.
