I like everyones reaction to Elaine getting up and crawling at them is just "LETS GET THE F*** AWAY FROM THIS" the most realistic approach to something terrifying i've seen in a game.
@@shirayukinobunaga9424 I guess you could say its like two bad endings. one where your whole team dies resulting in a game over, and another where just one character dies. that one carries over to shadow hearts
@@Eriqzzzz I wouldn’t really call the ending where James dies a bad ending though more like just the normal ending Since you know everyone else survives
I actually threw away that mirror and I had to start over from the beginning, I couldn't believe this game let the player throw away important item like that.
@@bennysusanto5524 A black cat will drop it it spawns in that room where the giant flower is which is Elaine run back and forth in that room and get into random battles.
I think it’s less the Emigre Manuscript. Both Mammon and Elaine were both incomplete forms without spirits. If you recall, Jack was just about to sacrifice Chris, but Halley stopped her. Causing Mammon to come as a weaker form of Elaine.
The Game has 3 different endings. If you let Elaine Beat you, You get an Ending that feels Cannon if you follow the main plot. (Including a conversation between Koudelka & Edward when you fight her in her "Final Form".
The battle system is perfect actually. It resembles Final Fantasy 2 and the SaGa games Romancing SaGa etc. although I would say it more greatly resembles final fantasy 2. So if you have experience with those games then this battle system will be a breeze to understand and well I have experuence with those kinds of games so no big deal to me I like how you have freedom to customize your team however you please. I will agree that the game is slow though which makes a grinding a slog luckily if you play in an emulator you can just turn that crap on speed mode and make it go faster.
I don't think the game should have been bashed by critics for its music, I mean yeah it doesn't fit very well with the game and it takes away from the scariness of the game but it's amazing music. I just wish they had scary music that gave me a sense of fear and hopelessness to really relate to the game and the feelings of the characters in it. I doubt they felt as cheerful as the music is.
The music isn’t really cheerful it’s more somber and depressing A horror games soundtrack doesn’t always need to be “oooo spooky ambiance and scarrrrrry noises”
just got the bad end where only james dies (in the most based way ever, it's like he got god to help him or something). holy balls what a weird ass game. edit: holy shit i just noticed you're the dude who does all those smt playthroughs, nice seeing you play less known games like this one
That is not the bad ending Lol that is actually the good canon ending to the game where James dies I never played the sequels before but a lot of people say and information regarding the game says that the ending sets up the storyline events of Shadow Hearts which this game is a prequel to so canonically James dies. But it is not all bad he went to the heavens with the one he actually loved all along and managed to save and restore her soul while Edward got a happy ending inside the tent with Koudelka which later leads to her having their son. Yeah Edward and Koudelka got the business done after all that mess lmao.
@@xiiir838 spoiler if you have not played it* but, the twin sister of the agent that helps Leon through the game gets transformed into a bioweapon and her boss battle looks very much like the one shown in koudelka.
By the way u better played the sequel because koudelka and edward's son is the good magic buffer to use and you dot regret the mai character too bad at the sequel about koudelka u cannot use her she only disturb the voice of protagonist's mind and top of that the sequel of koudelka its a horror role play now hahah
Honestly? It isn't so much that the music sucks. It's rather nice, actually. It's that the chiptune sounds waaaaaay too cheerful at times. And it's really hard to associate chip-tune with horror. The second phase gets it a little better but it still sounds like they didn't have a concrete theme going on.

Thee “uuuuhhhh!!”
I still think the "bad end" is hilarious if you don't have the charm and she just melts off everyone's face
I hear that this game's bad end actually sets up the plot for Shadow hearts
@@shirayukinobunaga9424 I guess you could say its like two bad endings. one where your whole team dies resulting in a game over, and another where just one character dies. that one carries over to shadow hearts
@@shirayukinobunaga9424 actually it’s the ending where James dies that sets up shadow hearts

I actually threw away that mirror and I had to start over from the beginning, I couldn't believe this game let the player throw away important item like that.
Mirror? You mean pendant?
Yeah you didn’t actually have to do that
If you don’t have the pendant there’s an enemy in the final area that will drop it
@@AmirysMewen what enemy ?
@@bennysusanto5524 A black cat will drop it it spawns in that room where the giant flower is which is Elaine run back and forth in that room and get into random battles.
I love how they used Elaines final form design in Shadow Hearts when you battle against Mammon, it's a nice easter egg.
Koudelka (PS1) - Final Boss Defeated Elaines 0:00

So apparently, this is the main side effect of the Emigre manuscript. They all turn into spider monsters.

Yo, no wonder the canon ending is the one where you lose, this thing lasts forever and hits like a truck.
The Game has 3 different endings. If you let Elaine Beat you, You get an Ending that feels Cannon if you follow the main plot. (Including a conversation between Koudelka & Edward when you fight her in her "Final Form".
Thay cannot be possible, Koudelka appears in Shadow Hearts.
This and the successor Shadow Hearts series are some of my fave rpg's to this day.
It s a hybrid of Resident evil , Silent hill and JRPG
Anybody hating on the music in this game doesn't actually understand the meaning of music. The music sets the mood perfectly for this game.
I miss this game. Hoping it gets ported to future consoles. No I’m not from the future20/20
I actually like the music, yo.
Feels weird knowing SNK published the prequel to the shadow hearts series
エレインのデザインほんと好き。
Yo this had me laughing so much with her dinosaur screams lmao
I am so noob that I cannot play this game, glad someone uploading this, thank you :"
This was my game my teenhood over 15years ago
I beat all 3 shadow heart's so i plan to get koudelka eventually.
LOL! @ 3:30, Elaine gets on her knees in front of Edward.
I still own this game lol. I need to get a new copy because my is beat.
Just download a playstation emulator on your phone and download the game for free. I'm playing it now on my phone
This game seriously have some good storyline and art design but battle system is kinda too slow and messy.
The battle system is perfect actually. It resembles Final Fantasy 2 and the SaGa games Romancing SaGa etc. although I would say it more greatly resembles final fantasy 2. So if you have experience with those games then this battle system will be a breeze to understand and well I have experuence with those kinds of games so no big deal to me I like how you have freedom to customize your team however you please.

Yes, that's what keeps me from playing it.
I don't think the game should have been bashed by critics for its music, I mean yeah it doesn't fit very well with the game and it takes away from the scariness of the game but it's amazing music. I just wish they had scary music that gave me a sense of fear and hopelessness to really relate to the game and the feelings of the characters in it. I doubt they felt as cheerful as the music is.

this brings back memories wow
squaresoft already developed cinematic juggle physics way before doa2
Man Elaine is CREEPY AS FUCK!!!O_O
Resident evil 6 definitely took inspo from this game lol.
Wdym?
@@xiiir838 spoiler if you have not played it* but, the twin sister of the agent that helps Leon through the game gets transformed into a bioweapon and her boss battle looks very much like the one shown in koudelka.
She looks more like Alexia Ashford from re code veronica.
holy shit the music is nintendo tier
I mean doing phisical attack with eye cat weapon on koudelka
Great music!
I was over lvl90 at 22 hours (got all the secret items including Sacnoth). EZ fight 😆
That music, WTF?...
? I don't see the problem
With the eye cat you can deal 3k on this boss with kouldelka don't ask me why
Atk, gambit, sigil e réquiem
You're definitely fighting her body
10 esferas de AP dos botões ao rage no canto inferior esquerdo
I accidently failed to kill her and got the good ending :D i realy tried my best to kill it :c
the critics were not kidding when they said the music was a disaster. the shadow hearts series have better music that gets you in the mood
Airy Angelic Disaster? I like it. If anything, it's the kind of music some games these days could have a hint of.
Completely disagree. I think the music was great. Quirky and unique just like the game
Love the music, it's got that nice asian beat to it.
I stop playing this game for the slow gameplay and uninspired music.
Gambit preenche o compo com sigil e atakes e turn e réquiem
By the way u better played the sequel because koudelka and edward's son is the good magic buffer to use and you dot regret the mai character too bad at the sequel about koudelka u cannot use her she only disturb the voice of protagonist's mind and top of that the sequel of koudelka its a horror role play now hahah
I'm preetty sure the last one you say is a big spoiler...
+Dhan HRQuartz u can play it in ps2 emulator man because i play it now best combinations power of their son heheh
Allen Inigo Yeah i already played Shadow Hearts 1 on PCSX2, Halley is GREAT but his special attacks consumes way too many MP
You need a sequel to your spelling.
hahaha got this kind of game as zombie rpg .
I remember the part when elain walked on the wall and edward tried to shoot her was really copied by an american movie

Okey............. The music is crap but gameplay is nice a horror RPG game is allways nice ;D
buddy you must have crap for ears. The final boss music is pretty amazing though its a bit unfitting for the monster.
@@LucasHorclox It's as if you were playing Silent Hill and they switched the OST with Super Mario.
I hate Turn Based Games they too Slow.
YOU too slow
Why did you watch this video then? You clearly searched for it seeing as it wasn't that well known.
