Not to discredit the translator, but emulation and save states exist. I doubt they needed to go through the entire game just to record the ending for this video. Still, they went the extra mile to include the english version. Guess it was easier than translating all the text themselves lol
Okayu: plays Link's Awakening > Falls in love with a dream > cries as the dream ends Korone: plays Klonoa > Is the dream and falls in love with a sleeping world > cries as the world's awakening banishes her OkaKoro: "Dreams are too emotional."
The future was supposed to have flying cars and robots that are indistinguishable from people and here I am watching an anime dog girl live streamer cry because of a sad PS1 game... BEST TIMELINE!
I knew this game had a sad ending, but I was not prepared for seeing it at all. Despite Klonoa's memories being fake, Klonoa still believed them. He didn't want to believe for a second that his time with Huepow never happened. By the time Huepow realised what a caring, kind hearted, true friend Klonoa is and didnt want him to go, it was already too late. That was the hardest part. That and the part when they were both holding the ring.
"Crying seems like it somehow washes the soul..." "A deep cleaning, like...whether it's sad tears or happy tears..." "...It just leaves you feeling all *'fwaa'.* Right?" -Korone I'll have to remember that one. That's a good one.
@Dawn of Fantasy idk, there are certain parts of modern games that also make me feel things (Yakuza, certain scenes in Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 7 remake). I'd also argue that Klonoa is unique even for it's time, i admittedly haven't played a whole lot of ps1 era games but none of the ones i have ever reached the emotional clinax that Klonoa did.
@Dawn of Fantasy games can definitely reach this, but they are rare. Just like how it was rare to see a game reach this level back then too, its just now that its been this long you cant see all the other games that didnt reach this level so it seems more rare now a days
As i said to my friends. A person who can cry at this kind of things. Must be have a heart of diamond. Thank god for youtube algorithm who introduce me to korone... *sniff*
Bro, I fell in love with the series when I first played the second game and THAT got me emotional when I beat it. Never heard of the 1st game till a little while later and man I got teary eyed when I saw what happened. -fuk me I'm still tearing up while watching korone go thru this- That Ending Will Always Get Me Every Time.
I think moments like this are the reason why we become gamers. Mad props to Korone for bringing me back to that childlike wonder I first had when playing those early-gen games.
I really appreciate translations of this kind of content. It's the kind of thing that shows that Vtubers like Korone are more than meme generators but real people behind a persona with their own emotions and honestly the kind of thing that continues to draw me to other hololive talent because they let parts of themselves come through and it shines a lot more brightly.
26:21 - I have never felt so bad for any RU-vidr before. And now this dog-girl with a cute laugh who does silly things is tearing my heart out of my chest with her sadness. I just want to cuddle her and tell her it'll be alright. She didn't deserve this pain.
This kind of game is a rare gem....only those who seek it will ride it till the end.....and thats a good thing.... This game dont need a massif fans.... A handfull of people is enough
How I felt when my family’s cultural-exchange student from Japan had to leave. I miss you, Ebina Jun-kun. Thank you for the official FFVII soundtrack you sent me because you felt bad for spoiling a certain characters death before the game released in America. You are a great friend, even thought I only knew you a short time. I miss you...
I really find it amazing how Korone can emotionally invest herself in a game. I don't know anything about the game but I can pretty much understand what happened there in the end, and the idea of how Klonoa must have felt there in the end as well as Heupow makes me sad. Man I'm glad you translated this, didn't see much translations of this stream, and didn't watch it either. Thanks for clipping this!
I am very new to the fandom, but from what I can tell, Korone is an extremely popular vtuber for Hololive. I believe in all of Hololive's existence, only two vtubers have retired and one of those was because Aloe was being harassed. I feel really sad for Aloe, but I don't think anything along those lines is likely to happen again with Hololive. Okayu and Korone are both here to stay for a very, very long time I would imagine. I imagine if one ever does leave, the other might follow soon after, and with these two seeming to be the most popular, that might be a big blow to Hololive. Then again, I suppose over time, as more vtubers are introduced, maybe they'll become less popular by comparison, but again, I think it'll take a long time for anything like that to happen. There's something really special about these two that I'm not certain any of the other stars seem to share. At least in my opinion.
I played this game on PS1. I remember choosing the game because of the front cover of the CD (I was always a fan of games with mascots). I played without many expectations, but I liked the playstyle and the story that grew little by little. But the ending... As fas as I can tell, it was the first game that made me cry, and I had played tons of games before this one! The game is simple and not big, but delivers such a good experience, mainly because of the way it was constructed. I also played Klonoa 2 and both games for the GBA system (there's an RPG for this system too, but it never got an English release), and while I did enjoy part of their story and challenge, none of them got me like this one did. Well, props to the translator. You did a great job!!! Thanks!
Thank you so much! Not only did you follow her gameplay with the English version, but you translated through her snot-filled emotional reflection, which is extra snifficult! I know the Hololive girls work hard for what they do, but you translators work even harder! Your dedication and labor is cherished and recognized! Thanks for contributing to their success and bringing them to worldwide attention! The quality of your efforts are much appreciated! Subbed!
Oh no, this game... This game... Man, I'm so weak to an emotional story. I cried multiple times to the ending part of Okami and cried four times while playing and watching the review of this game. Thanks for the translation and hard work! *Pekora loud sniff* I'm going to get my popcorn...
I love okami and i got this game as a teenager, played through to the end and i wasn't expecting it to break my damn heart at the end. I still can't watch the end without crying.
It is good to know there are people that can get that emotionally invested in things like this. It makes me feel like there might be hope for humanity yet. It seems to me not the actual outcome but the quality of the emotions that it caused you to feel that is important. That you might care that deeply for something that doesn't really matter implies you might care for something else that really matters even more, and if that is true, then it is very good.
This still hurts just as much as it did when I was 9. Time hasn't made it any easier. Knowing it's coming doesn't make it any easier. Watching someone else respond to it is absolutely rending.
There's only one other emotional moment like that in it, but it's overall a really fun and unique platformer so it's worth checking out if you like the genre
i feel like the things korone said while crying are so much more specific than just "that was a sad ending". feels like it hit her somewhere deep and personal in a different way than the deep and personal way it made me cry.
This kind of reminds me of the Monster Rancher 2 playthrough she did, though that ending is much tougher (brace yourself for an emotional ride if you choose to search it out). That was the first time I really felt connected to Korone and felt I understood her wholesome nature. The empathy she shows for everything and everyone is an amazing thing to witness. Thanks for translating this, it was a great watch. "Crying seems like it somehow washes the soul." -Korone
The ending of angel beats always seemed really hamfisted to me. The show never really earned the ending it was going for, it just decided to do a 180 in tone with little to no build up and hoped the sad music and over the top character reactions would be enough to trick you into thinking it was genuinely emotional. Shame because up until that point the show was a decent slice of life with a slow plot in the background.
When I first played this game, I didn't understand the ending... But I cried anyway... Because I felt the emotions it transmitted... Then as and adult with good level of english I reach it again... And now I can understand... I keep crying...
When you get really invested in the story and characters of Klonoa and the ending hits you, it feels like you're losing a close family member. Truly a masterpiece that should be played by anybody who cares about the classics.
Wow, that ending... Korone needs all the hugs and headpats. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there's no alternate ending, not even in the Wii rerelease. It doesn't help that this isn't the only game I've seen where the hero survives but gets sent back home without being able to enjoy the fruits of their labor ("The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" being another). Still, per GameFAQs there's *six* more "Klonoa" games - the sequel (on PS2), a PS1 spinoff, three GBA titles, and a WonderSwan entry - so if Korone wants to there's plenty more of Klonoa to see.
Oot isn't really a good example of this though. Saving Zelda in the present and then being sent back in time WAS the reward in that game. Now in the present, Zelda is safe and Hyrule has a ray of hope. And in the past, Link has just created a new timeline where all of the nastiness and brutality that Ganondorf inflicted upon Hyrule doesn't come to pass.
@@cuccopotpie1221 Fair point, though admittedly in regard to "OOT" I was thinking more of the celebration seen during the credits, which Link doesn't get to take part in (unless you access that setup of Lon Lon Ranch via debug menus or the like), plus the fact that after being sent back in time, Navi suddenly leaves him. ...Yeah, you're right, it's a bad example. Besides, the "Klonoa" ending is considerably more of a gutpunch.
Someday Korone will leave us just like Klonoa leaves. Sad day but we will smile as the sunshine returns and remember the times we had fondly, just like huepow did.
Thank you for the translation and the hard work! Klonoa is my all-time favorite video game, and Korone’s stream of it was what initially got me into Hololive!
Games like this hurt like hell, you have fun with characters and get attached to them and their story just for them to say goodbye. When I played Ar nosurge, Ion's end hurt like hell.
Since Tokimoki 2 i can guess why Koro-san additionally feels so much emotionally invested in situations like this. Besides that Koro-san seems to be in general very emotional person owo But yeah, even tho i didnt played Klonoa games it seems as very sad ending on itself.
I like to play klonoa years ago, after nahatomb was defeated and ghadius was dissappearing, it's kinda sad when the goddess sings and rebirthed the world, making klonoa and huepow both of them got farewell'd. Its honestly a great experience
I've never even heard of this game and that ending hit me like a truck. I wasn't expecting such a powerful ending. I went from not knowing the characters to being fully invested in them in like 3 seconds. I wish I had known it had such a good story before spoiling the ending for myself.
On the bright side the rest of the beginning and middle of the game has great cutscenes too. There a lot of equally beautiful moments hidden all throughout the game, such as all those characters who you saw floating alongside Majesty as she was thanking Klonoa and all of them: they all have very nice stories that are covered in the game too! If you enjoy 2.5D platformers and have any Playstation device you can download the game for very cheap. It's on PS3, PS4, PS5. And it's a great port of the original game. Only about $5 I think. If you are ok with waiting a little while to play it, it is almost nearly confirmed that Namco is gonna rerelease it on Switch
Even when i played the original japanese version of the game without understanding a single thing, i still felt sad for this ending. it is a real feels bad moment without you even understanding why.
I played the Wii version after the two GBA games, I didn't expect the ending to mess me up the way it did. I mostly forgot everything in the game but the ending with Huepow holding on to Klonoa was particularly engrained in my brain. Damn I actually teared up, remembering what the game did to me over a decade ago. This is why I want another cool Klonoa game dammit.
Game Director to Music Director: "We're gonna need the title music to be super peppy and extra cute." Music Director: "Like this?" Game Director: *steeples fingers* "Excellent"
