@@moon2l Haven't played a game with a story that enthralled me as much as 13 Sentinels did for this console gen. It is truly a gem that more people need to play.
Like every Vanillaware game. Never met someone who has played and didn't like Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown, or Muramasa just like everyone who played 13 Sentinels loved it

Something I didn't know till long after finishing the game. The song is a pun on "Stack Overflow" "in software, a stack overflow occurs if the call stack pointer exceeds the stack bound. The call stack may consist of a limited amount of address space, often determined at the start of the program. The size of the call stack depends on many factors, including the programming language, machine architecture, multi-threading, and amount of available memory. When a program attempts to use more space than is available on the call stack (that is, when it attempts to access memory beyond the call stack's bounds, which is essentially a buffer overflow), the stack is said to overflow, typically resulting in a program crash." If you've finished the game, you can understand the pun and why instead it's. "Brat Overflow"
@@epiram the characters are on their last loop in game because they’ve met the limit of the system, they’ve run out of resources and data backup. There’s been so many loops where kids die at 16, they’re experiencing a stack overflow…but due to the nature of the probes it is quite literally a brat overflow. Too many kids have existed.
@@Zeal543 it’s confirmed in I believe ei’s route that there will not be another loop after this one because of system strain. Ida had a blue screen over it and that’s when Ei kills him.
@@Zeal543 They were on about loop 300 and per loop is 16 years so about 4800 years has passed. The facilities expiration date is about 5000 years so they are absolutely almost reaching the breaking point.
If such a masterpiece can be THIS hidden away, then I wonder, how many other absolute gems are out there that I will never even hear of? This thought has been giving me an existential crisis ever since I finished the game.
Ive also worried about this, especially with older / more mechanically complex games I can't really pause from a gameplay perspective; planescape torment is an example of that Or ones where it looks bad on the surface, either art or voice or tropey bullshit. Xenoblade 2 looked awful going in but it's one of my favorites ever now.
I know what you mean, I started watching more video essays on games and I've found a few that, while gameplay might not be for me, the playthrough experience seemed amazing
Thats what I thought after ending ECHO for instance. Anyway 13 Sentinels is hidden because its VN format. Hope it gets an anime someday, the we can say ... heeee I knew about this long ago ! XD (As happened to me with Game of Thrones, hope will happen too with Necromancer´s Chronicles or Elric Saga)
When I first heard this I was having a Yuki Kajiura and NieR: Automata OST (Keigo Hoashi and Keiichi Okabe) fix Why do I like unknown language in my songs
@@KainsAddiction huh? Nier is not trendy and overhyped, it’s genuinely a fantastic game. you make it sound like Apex Legends or some other recycled AAA bullshit. And if you’ve ever listened to any song from nier, you’d realize this comparison works.
@@AndersonClips uhhhh what are YOU talking about So what if it was published by Atlus? And the game didn't win any awards at all. The only award it was nominated for was The Game Awards 2020's best narrative which it still lost cause they gave it to The Last Of Us 2 (which is so fukcing funny) And let's say it's supposedly won any awards, the game isn't really well known at all. Most gamers don't even know it exists or what it even is There's only a small circle of gamers/Atlus fans that actually know about it/played it It mostly spread through word of mouth tbh
@@AndersonClips Yes it was published by Atlus, that means no recognition unless you are Atlus own studio doing Persona games. As all Vanillaware games, the curse they had was that they were published by Atlus, We have hidden games like Odin Sphere that sadly will not get the recognition they truly deserve (like this game too) cause they had bad publishing and no marketing, literally all the marketing of those games are by voice of the players. That and Atlus for some reason is really scared of the PC market, If those games released on Steam they would be huge hits. Odin Sphere, 13 Sentinels, Muramasa, GrimGrimoire and Dragon's Crown, all would sell really well if they were published on PC.
Vaguely heard about this game because I’m a mech fan and grabbed it on sale and have NOT been disappointed in the slightest this is probably my favourite vanilla ware game and is for sure a hidden gem of this gen.
Just started playing this the other day. It’s usually a very good sign for the game in question when I immediately start searching up the music this early into the experience.
Bought the game because Atlus and Vanillaware always mean business and holy shit The plot, the characters, the music, the gameplay, the style, the art, the dialogue it's all wonderfully orchestrated chaos. Still still on my way to finish it but this game is special, really special.
I disagree actually to a certain level. I think the music in this game I can certainly agree is pretty good but the story in this game honestly wasn’t really good. I didn’t like this game much. I thought the story tried too hard to seem like it was complex because the game would go too far off shoving vague twists everywhere when in reality, all this game was telling was just a vague story about a dystopian world built after humanity was finally extinct in 2188. I mean we didn’t even get to see how this world was even built and yes, I am going to be a bit harsh on this game since I expected more from this game’s story and this game is literally a story driven game. The game focused on trying to knock all these different relationships together with different characters and it became the biggest problem with the game’s narrative because it ended up becoming cheesy with it’s romance and it became unfitting for a story trying to be dark. The game was a mediocre strategy game with an incoherent, convoluted story. It wasn’t the worst game I’ve ever played and I actually really enjoyed it at first until I started seeing more of its deceptive issues with storytelling and how it makes its lack of gameplay really look like it’s also a weak, meaningless part of the game.
@@lordartoriuscollbrande7434 but the game wasn't a story about a dystopian world at all. There is an implied dystopian world, but its not relevant to the story except as background for why the 2188 characters are in a spacecraft. It has absolutely no relevance to the plot beyond that. The setting the actual protagonists live in is not a dystopia, and the story is first and foremost about those protagonists, who they are as people, and how they deal with an unbelievable situation. The game also actually spent very little time on each relationship, but it couldn't spend no time building the relationships because the reality of the protagonists' situation at the end of the game necessitates them. And speaking of the ending, if you'd seen it you'd know the world most of the game takes place in *wasn't* built, at least not in the traditional sense. But the game does tell you how it was designed. And actually, the story IS complex. Theres a reason they give you an event viewer that lists every single scene in chronological order, and it's because the story has been planned so that absolutely every scene flows together in one consistent timeline where every event has both a cause and am effect. There are no plotholes to speak of, and all of the twists are heavily foreshadowed in a way that doesn't give them away. And I personally found it to be a phenomenal strategy game. It has a lot of mechanics that it explains decently well as you unlock them, and those mechanics offer lots of customization which you need to take advantage of to deal with enemies in most of the missions assuming you're not playing on casual. Team formation also matters, both because of the unique advantages qnd disadvantages of each unit type and because of the unique skills of each character. Taking the wrong set of units or having the wrong set of weapons equipped on a mission will make the mission nearly impossible if you're playing on hard. In light of all this, I'd argue that actually the game isn't mediocre, and that you just don't like the game. You not liking the game doesn't mean it's a bad game, it just means it's not your kind of game. As such, I feel the need to ask, why would you come to a video relating to the game specifically to complain about it? The only answer I can think of is that you were actively looking for an argument, but I don't want to assume things about people, so I'd appreciate if you could tell me why.
@@DolusVulpes The games female characters are extremely poorly written. The other issue is the sheer sinister nature that Shiba Kyuta/426 exudes only for him to be like "Go now Juro! You are the star of this show!" There are a ton of plot threads and character developments that don't matter literally at all because the game pulls the oldest trick in the book to "tie everything together"... "It was all a dream/simulation!" With the main plot mostly being the political one in 2188. So yeah. It's actually really bad. When the entire game can be described as "none of the shit with kids matters much. Basically all this stuff that happened with their original selves is what matters... and the kaiju thing is just there because an idiot shoved gaming code into matrix the future of humanity is plugged into." That's it. That's the plot. That's also how the game pulls off it's one "trick" so well - by allowing us jump all over the place with different characters, while still telling a "coherent" story.
@@robotoboy30 Yuki and Shinonome are literally on the top of the character cast quality-wise. The game's idea isn't about 2188 at all, it's just a background for the game's events. Saying that 2188 is the main plotline is like saying that LotR is about the genesis of the world, Spider-man movies are about genetic engineering, and One Piece is about a treasure hunt. Surely it'd be interesting to know what happened back in 2188, but it has very little to do with observed events and ideas of the game.
I haven’t been smacked in the face by a menu theme like this in a while. Deadass started the game, heard this and immediately grabbed my phone to look for the song
@@unironic1184 i actually played the first 2 emulator since i was too late to get them... and these games will probably never been sold or available anywhere in the future.
This is a certified hood classic. I am now cursed with the fact that i have completed it and will never be able to play it the same way again, what a life changing title.
I started playing this game because people were describing it in the exact same way that I describe my favourite game of all time, Outer Wilds. Not only does this game’s storytelling heavily remind me of the approach Outer Wilds takes, it stands as a triumph on its own. This game is absolutely exceptional.
Still need to pick this up, I kept on it for years before it came out. Just been busy with school and the last couple of years to dedicate much time to gaming. Also I have a small backlog on PS4 staring me in the face haha.
