Fun fact the audio is so bitcrushed because I believe close to release all the audio got pretty much corrupted so they had like a few weeks to redo everything in midi and it ended up sounding as sad as it does
@@CEFG100 upon further research they probably did. The reason for audio change was actually most likely due to copyright reasons as the developer company was just purchased before release
From what I heard it was actually because the og ost were a lot of remixes from older games they didn't have the rights to, so when close to release, SEGA took a look at everything and noticed the remixes and were like "Sorry we can't allow that we don't have the rights to those musicians" so they had to rush the ost again in a week or so
The best thing about this game is that it 100% feels like a fangame. Those cutscenes, the RPG elements which were so common for fangames on Newgrounds, the low quality music ripped from other games...
I remember being so upset as a kid that Super Sonic wasn’t in this game that I beat it 5 times in a row to check if I could unlock him. That experience molded me into the man I am now
They’re too busy turning A beat-em-up crime drama life sim game into A turn-based drama sim game… But, apparently, the almighty Majimba Giru is accessing his inner Jack Sparrow in the new spinoff…
God I remember playing this when I was a small. It was the one game I didn't lose when I lost my game case, so I played it a lot as a kid. So glad to see people remember this exists
Listening to this while working, as soon as a fight starts I can not control my laughter as Jacob’s voice is drowned out by the barrage of cartoon sound effects 😂
@@coreben1901 yeah I actually remember that battle against lord Ix and his two Heavy one-wheeled Gizoid troops being very difficult, but I do like combining the teams into the final squad that can work well with one another in combo moves. Then the 2nd round is super easy as long as you don't screw up, he goes down in one turn of your hypernova finisher combo.
Facts, I first got it 10 years ago, beat it a year after that, and still play it today because of how good the fights and story are, best sonic game I ever did play
This was literally one of the first video games I played that wasn’t like cool math or something, I remember getting it at blockbuster and playing it with my friends at slumber parties so this is so nostalgic :’)
I’ve actually played through most of this game lol. I was very little and was a present from my father and lol and I actually still have it lmao. I remember getting to a point to where it got so ridiculously hard I couldn’t get past it anymore lol. Good luck Jacob, you gonna need it.
Devs: "Hey, we got Bioware to help us make an rpg with Sonic, can you give us the funds to make it good enough to make a sequel maybe?" Sega: "Oh sure, here's a shoestring and a ham sandwich."
I played this game years ago and it's honestly really fun to play, the graphics and some sounds maybe not be the best but it didn't stop me from replaying it a few times. My only regret was misplacing the game so I can't play it anymore Glad to see Alpha playing this
From what I heard the game didn't get a sequel because one of the writers from the Sonic comic book sued Bioware for using characters that "resembled" ones he made.
@@Darkbeast42 Yeah this game's Nocturnus were heavily similar to Archie comic's version of it (Comic version appeared first) so our beloved (hated) Ken Penders filed a lawsuit
This game frustrates me because of how often I will try to target 1 enemy then ALL of my perfect attacks miss and because of… Penders Pending Pendapolusa
Ok some people may let it slide but I won’t, he only put Sonic chronicles and not Sonic Chronicles the dark brotherhood Alpha my guy I hate English as much as the next guy, but give some respect for the best Sonic game of all time
Hey Jakob, I doubt you'll see this, but is there a chance we can see the entire Ballan Wonderla-wonderworld playthrough, too? Just uncut VOD of it, even if it was no stream and just a play with like discord call or so?
YO SONIC CHRONICLES man I remember playing the fuck out of this as a kid and loving it, hell I thought it was the best rpg ever (my first game ever was pokemon diamond, so idk what the fuck kid me was on) I also remember everything that happens when you go to the twilight cage becomes infinitely more difficult lmao, especially that one unwinnable boss fight in the final level against that one gizoid (charyb I think they were)
If there's one thing I'll give Sonic Forces & even the Sonic Boom games, they at least have a decent soundtrack. Not Adventure 2/Black Knight/Colors/Lost World levels of good, but nowhere near as bad as this.
@@Primarina341 Ah, wasn't aware it was a meme. But to be honest ignoring the godawful presentation, yeah the game looks pretty fun or at least enough to satisfy me
It's the best official Sonic RPG, becuase it's the only one... But also the only game with Shade in it so that helps lol (I actually really like this game... grew up with it, good guilty pleasure lol)
The fact that a sequel to this game hasn't been made is a tragedy. The bigger tragedy? They actually thought they were gonna make more than one game
The story on why we can never get a sequel or ever see shade again is a comedy
Haha... lawsuit...

crazy how the first hour and a half is dedicated to pirating the game correctly
and that's how I got very confused when they finished that and it was suddenly 2 in the morning
crazy how i saw this comment and still watched all of it anyways
Omg soulcakelive??!!??!?? I totally didn't expect a hardcore sonic fan to be here
And I am here for every second
Me currently troubleshooting that point on my game so me and my friend can keep fandubbing it 😭😭

Maybe they will now that M&L is dead. No competition and all that.
Oh, who am I kidding. That would be good decision-making from them.
@@darkuscarlet nah, they'd need the interest from M&L to convince unknowing parents to buy the game for little Timmy on Christmas.

I remember playing this game as a kid. I actually had a lot of fun. It is still as unforgiving as I remember it.
Yeah especially when it crashes during the tutorial
I already beat this game about 5 years ago and lemme just say, this is by far the best sonic game!

Footage of Alph the Radical learning who the god of this game is.
The amount of emotes made from this game is hilarious
The song that he’s talking about around 1:34:00 is diamond dust zone from sonic 3d blast one of my all time favorites
Cant wait for the sonic chronicles nuzlocke
This game brings back so much nostalgia
Ngl, those first opening notes with the ship at 7:06, I thought that was legitimately an 8-bit version of Nostalgia Critic's intro 😂 Omg
I remember playing this as a kid on my old Nintendo 3DS... Kinda underrated, I liked it, MEGA chonky and clunky tho
I remember getting this game for Christmas as a kid.
Sonic is a character
i dont believe you
Mmmnmmmmmmmm no Sonic’s a restaurant
This game is one of the reasons why Sonic's comic line at Archie died.
I feel like we shouldn’t blame the game and more so… he-who-must-not-be-named
@@markyboi9354 "One of"
The soundtrack sounds even better then I remembered!
7:44 to this day i am still trying to figure out what he means because that sounds nothing like the gigachad song
I think he means the trio chad walk meme thing that's gone around lately

A Fun Game with A Stupid Lawsuit
dude I had a lot of fun as a kid
I'm only a few minutes in, but if it turns out this isn't the real Sonic Chronicles I will not be surprised.
This feels like a looney tunes game with sonic characters slapped onto it

How did you spell all that title w/out typos?!
Fitting that you can CHEESE the game with CREAM.
I have so much nostalgia from this game
this game was a huge part of my childhood, so good
why did sonic's starting states include such a low speed compared to other stats
Anybody know when he’s planning to continue?
If they would just remake this game without the stylus mechanics being the only way to play… this would be in my top 10 games probably.
No live chat for the replay premiere? Sadge
Dude this is like my favourite sonic game (probably nostalgia but still) 💜
the best sonic game
This game is the shit I loved it as a kid i played through it like 3 times
I was so sad that there never was a sequel
I first played this several years ago when it was given to me and i did not play more than am hour because the cartoon sfx kept making me laugh
Hey Jakob, I doubt you'll see this, but is there a chance we can see the entire Ballan Wonderla-wonderworld playthrough, too? Just uncut VOD of it, even if it was no stream and just a play with like discord call or so?
I honestly love this game, it's so easy to cheese the fuck out of it, I literally did all later fights in the same turn bc of Cream
Man remember playing this game in like 2014 and was so shit i fucking loved it. So sad it never had a sequel
Why are alphas vods always so quiet?
I'm at full volume lol
This is my favorite sonic game and I'm still sorry you had to go through it
I 100%’d this game multiple times as a child
>Ken Penders has entered the chat.
I actually kinda miss this game
Is there an auto play in Sonic Chronicles?
I have it on the DS. How do you play it so you don’t have to?
I honestly dont get why people hate this game
its pretty innoffensive to me
in conclusion... skill issue
1:33:41 FUNNY GUY MUSIC
how did he fix this, i want to play this now but im having the same issue with the crash. How did he end up fixing it?
Watching how Jacob plays this game hurts me
This game reminds me of the ds version of Prince Caspian
I plated this game...so so very much
Loved this game
Man, I remember this game! That final 'boss' was ANNOYING.
So is the video going to come out soon?
When are you finishing this game?
It’s the funny Altrive game!

how was he able to get past the POW tutorial
He used an older version of desmume (emulator). I think it was ver 9.11

Can someone let me know why they think this is the best Sonic game? Because nostalgia aside I'm genuinely curious.
Pretty sure it's mostly a meme, but as someone whose beaten it 4 times it is genuinely pretty fun once you get past all the jank.
It's even got hidden party members unlocked through side quests that aren't spelled out for you
