I played this game as a kid, completely forgot about it, heard altrive's outro theme going "damn, that sounds hauntingly familiar" but couldn't place my finger on it, then I saw the main channel video of this game and then everything clicked back into place.
Liked it too up to the point where you're forced to have 2 different teams One of which was severely underlvld and since I used the fabled child pokemon technique of press (semi) random things and hope I win, I couldn't finish it.. xD
@@TsubasayaYamiit auto levels all your characters when you use them lol so you must be remembering incorrectly. When I was a kid I just sucked at using the non-combat focused characters so I struggled when I had to rely on tails and eggman over sonic and knuckles - this game is honestly way too over-hated and it’s way better than most of what we’ve seen from sonic recently, but I don’t really mind I still like it a lot
So you may or may not know, there are Viral type Chao in the game that were intended for event distribution. The chao themselves are a homage to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but are now mostly unaccessable by normal means. Only one was released in America (Stugs, Ninja-style black with a black head-orb and white face), while four others were exclusive to Japan (Baki/Pink, Farfinkle/Orange, Fimbley/Blue, and Pooki/Red) unlockable by cheat code. There are Action Replay cheats that can unlock them for the US version if you want to go for that 100% experience lol.
Fun fact; one of the reasons we might not have gotten a sequel is because of Ken Penders, the infamous writer of the Archie Comics run of Sonic. He alleged that some of the characters and storylines in this game were inspired or directly copied from "his" work. SEGA and Archie settled out of court with Penders despite him having no legal case because the contracts said that Archie owned any content created for the comics, not the writers or artists. SEGA still don't want to risk it, so a lot of the Penders stuff is off-limits, even to use for inspiration.
Right there with you. It just lives in my brain and appears as a thought sometimes, like a familiar face when walking down the street, but you said nothing, just kept on walking and thinking "... Huh... I remember them..."
The attack and defense stats on the level up screen are actually attack/dodge accuracy btw. Actual damage output and damage reduction are invisible stats that can only be affected by equipment and/or Chao. Cream & Omega are missable optional party members so be on the lookout for them or you WILL miss out on them. Cream has this busted ability to replenish everyone’s PP including her own.
I finished this game. I didn't really hate it or anything. But it wasn't too memorable. I completely forgot there was a Chao Garden... I vaguely remember not liking Big and liking Eggman and Shadow.
I loved this game. Still kinda do even though it´s ya know...kinda very much bad. I never got past the Eggman Button Puzzle as a kid. I loved Shade so much and I was so sad knowing she never appears again. I actually knew that Altrives Outro music was from this game and it gives me whiplash every single time lmao. This game will forever have a special place in my heart and it contributed to my love for turnbased RPG´s.
I remember this game as a kid. Or more importantly I remember the end of the game. Or rather the pack thereof. Even as a literal child with no tastes or media literacy on a dubiously acquired copy I felt cheated by the ending.
So I played and beat this game as a kid. I’m a huge BioWare fan but never knew this game was from them until recently lol. I liked the game as a kid, chao gardens always a bonus
FUCK YEAH! SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THIS GAME EXISTS! ... To be fair, I just spent all my time hatching Chao eggs and remember very little else about this game.
As someone who played the game twice (got softlocked at final area on first, beat it second) here is a tip UNLOCK CREAM ASAP She has an ability (I forgot name) that when upgraded, restores PP that costs less than it gives you, and it gives to all party members Just note that if you fail any action command with her POW moves they auto-fail, however there is a Chao that auto-succeeds any action command, I recommend you put it on her
I really like the story of this game and despised that it ends on a cliffhanger and was never finished, I think they continued the story in the comics. I'm pretty sure this is one of the few Sonic games that isn't considered canon with the other sonic games. I really liked the game play I completely forgot about the cartoon sound effects though lol. It's nice having a game that has almost all the characters playable and it's nice that teams like team dark have their own special moves they do together. Pretty much the game should be called Lost Potential 😂
This was composed by the same guy who did the soundtrack for Sonic R?! How?? How did that awful rendition of Diamond Dust Zone from Sonic 3D Blast actually get a seal of approval to move forward?
After playing good RPGs, it makes me wish that Sonic's wasn't terrible. Like, I'M JUST SAYING: If Atlus wanted to take a crack at it, I'd be so unbelievably excited.
I've already played chapter 10, it's really hard, when you reach the rock planet, all pow and basic atk become 1 damage, unless you farming a lot (10 days without stopping) or cheats 🗿🗿 and it's terrible at farming alright,also ive been to 40 rounds with the enemy has super immune that youre pow and basic atk become 1 damage bruh, but sonic advance also has chao garden, but one chao only, but still the most unique sonic game I ever played😂
Reminds me of Legend of Legacy for the 3ds (doesn't have anything to do with this game other than being a very obscure rpg that nobody remembers (despite being good))
I remember playing this game as a kid and for some reason enjoying it 😅 Sure it wasn't the best game but i mean as a kid the gameplay and story was kinda compelling. But boy, as a kid you definitely don't notice the absolute trainwreck it is.
Not so fun fact: Former Archie Sonic writer Ken Penders actually sued SEGA and EA for the similarities between the Nocturnus Clan, and his characters used in the Sonic comics, the Dark Legion. Needless to say, for many reasons even outside of this, a lot of Sonic fans detest Kenders...
there's a weird story about the soundtrack that they had to change it at the last minute and used midi tracks from sonic fan sites. according to that they used a bad soundfont so it's off from the original versions and missing entire percussion instruments.
@@boredmagala5701 (Spoilers in this comment for anyone that doesn't want them) Unless I'm remembering wrong, the ending has Eggman with a fleet of ships, almost succeeding in taking over the world just like the situation in the start of Sonic Unleashed.
I beat this game twice when I was young because I wanted to see the different dialogue options. The only thing I distinctly remember disliking about it was that, aside from one specific moment, you always had to have Sonic in your party. He had the most combo attacks with the most characters, but it still rubbed me the wrong way. Oh, that and the final boss fight was entirely underwhelming. Even if you purposefully failed the QTE, you still did a one-shot move for 9,999 damage.

I love how the game starts with a Robotnik quote like he's the Sun Tzu of the Sonic universe or somethin.
Keep in mind this is Gerald Robotnik, Eggman's grandfather, who has even less to do with the game
But he is-
altrive’s outro music being from sonic chronicles: the dark brotherhood of all things is not something i expected to learn today
I played this game as a kid, completely forgot about it, heard altrive's outro theme going "damn, that sounds hauntingly familiar" but couldn't place my finger on it, then I saw the main channel video of this game and then everything clicked back into place.
I think I had the exact opposite happen lmao, did not recognise it at ALL from the main channel but this video,, unlocked something in my brain omg
I played this game and liked it. I was not the sharpest kid in the tool shed.
Me too I loved this game. Pretty sure I beat it twice 😭
Liked it too up to the point where you're forced to have 2 different teams
One of which was severely underlvld and since I used the fabled child pokemon technique of press (semi) random things and hope I win, I couldn't finish it.. xD
Honestly I still love the game to this day
I dunno it scratches a "RPG you don't expect" itch that's only been scratched by Paper Mario before
Same, did it twice, it sure was something

Jacob: Sonic has a RPG game
Pavitr Prabhakar: …what did you just say? “Role playing game” game?
"Sonic has an RPG" can be a very misleading sentence tbh
@@ovensmuggler5207but what if they did both
@@Void_Echoes An RPG with RPGs containing RPG elements.
@@LittleScaredyBoy Time to make some explosions XD
Miles: "why do people call it RPG game? The G stands for game"
Fun fact: this game actually remixes a bunch of music from Sonic 3D Blast, and manages to mutilate every single one of them.
can you mutilate something that’s already a loose pile of midi notes
@@grumpyface2553Many artists have made it work. It's not impossible.
The blue bastard got a bad rpg and Alpharad manages to still make it entertaining
This channel has a hell of a way to have me hyped for part 2 of a gameplay that I could just watch the VOD for of a video I've already seen months ago
11:41 it’s actually one of the rare sonic chronicles banger’s just gotta hear it with better quality
I actually kind of enjoy this game and it’s a shame it ended on a cliffhanger
I’m honestly surprised that I liked this game as a “kid”. Never finished it but I remember spending hours looking at the chao garden

"Chapter 2: The Search for Knuckles" goes hard
I probably think about this game once every three years. I'm still disappointed that it never got a sequel.
Right there with you. It just lives in my brain and appears as a thought sometimes, like a familiar face when walking down the street, but you said nothing, just kept on walking and thinking "... Huh... I remember them..."

This is actually a VOD for a while ago, he even made a video of the game in his main channel
I no joke NG+’ed this game like 8 or 9 times back in the day.
I think I did it close to like 20 somehow. Still have a soft spot for this game, but damn the music exists.
I love how sonic, the series known for its amazing soundtrack, decided to make this game with this ost
It's like a Saturday monring cartoon made in flash.
This game feels a lot better to play when you *don't* recognize the stock sound effects or where the music comes from
I love the alpharad live farm
I finished this game. I didn't really hate it or anything. But it wasn't too memorable. I completely forgot there was a Chao Garden... I vaguely remember not liking Big and liking Eggman and Shadow.
It’s funny
I remember one day when i was 5 or 6, i remember watching the part about the Eggman button puzzle
This was actually my first game on ds when i first bought my ds.

Wait, why is the live channel video (or videos, plural) for Sonic Chronicles so late in coming after the main channel one?
I think he’s just going back to old content and putting together other edits for this channel alongside new ones
Beat that game about 5 times on the same savefile, now it is glitched and I just teleport everywhere
Not alpharad has become alpharad
I remember this game as a kid. Or more importantly I remember the end of the game. Or rather the pack thereof. Even as a literal child with no tastes or media literacy on a dubiously acquired copy I felt cheated by the ending.
Wow, can't believe the high quality gameplay coming out of Sonicblade Chronices here.
I feel like I've watched Alpha play this before
So I played and beat this game as a kid. I’m a huge BioWare fan but never knew this game was from them until recently lol. I liked the game as a kid, chao gardens always a bonus

UNLOCK CREAM ASAP

Just note that if you fail any action command with her POW moves they auto-fail, however there is a Chao that auto-succeeds any action command, I recommend you put it on her
Thought this man would’ve pulled the old flash final fantasy sonic or sonic rpg
Fun fact: Central City is a worse version of a song that already exists. Diamond Dust Zone from Sonic 3D Blast.
Yo this is the game Ken Penders is obsessed with because it has echidnas
I really like the story of this game and despised that it ends on a cliffhanger and was never finished, I think they continued the story in the comics.

i just watch the main channel video for the first time on this game was very confused by the instant alternative version.
knowing this is made by Bioware, it's actually insane to think about.
This was composed by the same guy who did the soundtrack for Sonic R?! How??
How did that awful rendition of Diamond Dust Zone from Sonic 3D Blast actually get a seal of approval to move forward?
I rememner randomly playing this game during a summer when i was in school. It was fine but i couldnt stop comparing it to mario & luigi.
I still crave an sonic rpg
Sorry I forgot to tell you about the chao garden. I’ll remember next time
After playing good RPGs, it makes me wish that Sonic's wasn't terrible.
Like, I'M JUST SAYING: If Atlus wanted to take a crack at it, I'd be so unbelievably excited.
This was a childhood favorite game of mine. I loved it all those years ago.
Everyone is here.
I do hope theu give an RPG another try one day, the franchise has so many characters and (different) lore so why not?
It gets a + for being Round Based....not many RPG were this to this time.
Sad thing is a Sonic RPG could’ve been pretty good
Sonic games trying to not be terrible games (impossible)
any else remember that Final Fantasy x Sonic series on NewGrounds?
i was thinking about it recently and the thumbnail made me think he was playing it
I've already played chapter 10, it's really hard, when you reach the rock planet, all pow and basic atk become 1 damage, unless you farming a lot (10 days without stopping) or cheats 🗿🗿 and it's terrible at farming alright,also ive been to 40 rounds with the enemy has super immune that youre pow and basic atk become 1 damage bruh, but sonic advance also has chao garden, but one chao only, but still the most unique sonic game I ever played😂
I played this game as a kid, it was so fun
I used to play this game so much
Reminds me of Legend of Legacy for the 3ds (doesn't have anything to do with this game other than being a very obscure rpg that nobody remembers (despite being good))
I loved this game as a kid but never beat it lol the nostalgia is crazy
I cannot be the only one who clicked hoping it would be the old fanmade sonic RPGs
I LOVED this game as a kid 😭 I got it used and it was the only sonic game i could play. Its a hot mess but i love it deeply
Sonic was in more RPGs than that. like Angry Birds Epic when that existed
Another video remake.
Why don’t we just use those boxes as ramps

Havent started the video... but are we shocked Sonic has a bad RPG?
Who else thought that he about to play Final Fantasy Sonic X?
Not so fun fact: Former Archie Sonic writer Ken Penders actually sued SEGA and EA for the similarities between the Nocturnus Clan, and his characters used in the Sonic comics, the Dark Legion.
Needless to say, for many reasons even outside of this, a lot of Sonic fans detest Kenders...
yes because of course Bioware would do something like this!
also first?
The only reason I know this game exists is because it has a god-awful soundtrack. Which is something I never thought I would say for a Sonic game.
there's a weird story about the soundtrack that they had to change it at the last minute and used midi tracks from sonic fan sites.
according to that they used a bad soundfont so it's off from the original versions and missing entire percussion instruments.
don't hate on chronicles...
How come Mario can have great RPGs but Sonic can’t? Why can’t Sega do anything right?
sonic games keeping you big
This game is so gas
Oh hey i played this game as a kid. And i knew it was shit back then
is it ‘a RPG’ or ‘an RPG’?
Pretty sure "an" because R sounds like "Are" which is a vowel sound.

I have such a love hate relationship with this game because it’s pretty much complete ass but I have so much nostalgia for it
