I was able to finish this video earlier, since I spent an entire Monday just to finish everything.
It's time to discuss one of Capcom's hidden masterpiece, Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes. This game is the "perfect version" of Sengoku Basara 2, released on 29th November 2007. If I am being honest, this is probably my favorite musou-like game on the PlayStation 2.
In this video, we'll be taking a deeper look on everything you need to know about Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes, and what makes this game one of the best games in the Sengoku Basara series.

I had a blast playing it back in the day. But sadly, Musou games don't have much of a following in Brazil. Remeber buying Dot hack//G.U. thinking it was like Sengoku Basara judging by the cover and that end up being my introduction to JRPGs.

@lugiacannongalatic 26 дней назад

A hallmark of the Sengoku Basara series is its skill floor and ceiling for enjoyment. Anyone can pick up the game, pick the strongest skills and immediately feel the thrill of being a one-man army. Even if one didnt understand Japanese, the gameplay was simple enough for even 10 year olds (like myself) to spend countless hours happily mowing down every stage. But then you add in all the other mechanics: Combo Fever, Sengoku Drive, S-String Cancels, Priming Skills, Parrying, Air Juggles, so on and so forth and you come to realize how extremely in-depth Sengoku Basara's gameplay can be and that isn't even counting the equippable items and their multitide of effects. Future entries like 3 and 4 would further emphasize this, to the point you can basically make DMC-style combo MADs for all the characters. It goes to show Capcom's design philosophy throughout their games of having a really easy to enjoy skill floor, while giving veterans enough depth to experiment and find out the craziest things you can do with some characters. Meanwhile DW6 made me farm for Red Hare for 1 months straight with obscure luck mechanics.

Honestly, i kind of wished some of 2 Heroes' moves would return in 4 Sumeragi onwards Like Kojuro's multi hit and Charged Dash, Fuuma's Airborne Assassination, Motochika's Charge, Tadakatsu's Drone Buff etc. I still trying to compile what didn't return to 3 Onwards other than the obvious such as Oichi's Naginata or Ieyasu's Spear, but i wanted to try incorporating these old moves into the new ones.

13:03 a tiny bit of explanation You can get the 2nd armor from armory/weapon box from Conquest mode EXTREME difficulty. The more item lv you get the higher chance you will obtain. Usually lv 3 or lv 5. You can also obtain from golden armory in Conquest stages. OR you can obtain it from armory/weapon lv 10 in Conquest mode HARD difficulty (drop around 30% chance). But that means, *A LOT* of soft resets (press select button + start button simultaneously) until the enemy who has the armory/items defeat another warlords before you choose their territory You can get the 3rd armor by completing floor 50 in Tournament mode

Yes, I love Sengoku Basara and Darkstalkers. Some people call those series dead, but they ain't dead for me. As long as I play these games, and make content out of them, they are the furthest thing away from dead. Blade Chord is an absolute banger, always has, and always will be.

Funfact: if we play sengoku basara 2 heroes at the beginning of the game but have the original sengoku basara 2 save game that is 100% finished, the progress will transfer to sengoku basara 2 heroes such as - 22 characters are max level - 22 characters have all weapons and all max levels - 22 characters have all armor and all max levels - 22 personal items already have at the beginning of the game - 22 characters already have a second costume - there are already many title fans at the beginning of the game So we just need to focus on the 8 characters who are still level 1.

It doesn't shock me that this is considered the best musou style game on ps2 given how the rest of the series is. I do wonder though how it holds up with the newer entries though, I feel as if I've been spoiled by Basara 4.

@Profar26 26 дней назад

You should give Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes a shot. This game is how I got into the series. The combat is not as complex as Sengoku Basara 3 and 4, but it still has substance. Furthermore, as I said in the video, this game is the richest Sengoku Basara game to date in terms of content.

@SDub817 23 дня назад

I think it's SB2H is the better game. 4 let's you use the whole move set but it has the worst level design in the series, annoying inscription system, needless inventory management, and gimmicky enemies at every corner as opposed to earlier entries where they're more spread out. The modes and unlockable content is superior in SB2H as well.

Kojuuro being left handed might also be a nod to his voice actor, Toshiyuki Morikawa; he is Sephiroth after all. As for Oichi's likeness, it's from famous 70s-80s japanese singer Asaoka Megumi. She's a dead ringer to Oichi in Basara, same way that I-NO is Shiina Ringo, Fei Long / the Law family are Bruce Lee, Lei Wulong is Jackie Chan with Jackie's official japanese voice actor etc.

@carlosferreira2676 27 дней назад

If I can make just a small constructive criticism, you repeat the name of the games way too much, I noticed this in the past 2 entries to the retrospective too. Try to cut a little bit in saying the full name of the game all the time. In the intro of this video for example I think you said "sengoku basara 2 heroes" almost in all sentences you used. Try using more "this game", "this franchise", "on it", etc. Aside from that, I'm loving your videos and this retrospective in special, super awesome stuff!

@Profar26 27 дней назад

Hey, thank you for the feedback Carlos. Yeah, it's kind of a bad habbit of mine to repeat names over and over again.

@carlosferreira2676 27 дней назад

@Profar26 thank you for bringing more attention to this awesome series of games. I always watched this franchise from afar, since I don't speak Japanese and most of them were never translated to English. As a fan of musou games in general I always wanted to really get into this series. When samurai heroes released in the west I couldn't find a single store selling it (I live in brazil), and since I was a teenager at the time I had to ask my dad to buy it for me on the psn, he didn't trust it to put his credit card information on a video game. Crazy stuff in his mind at the time, so no game. Nowadays I play mostly on pc, so at some point I need to try emulating it, since my old ps3 is long gone. I really wanted to play sengoku basara 4, but no English version and no pc release made it impossible for me. Crossing my fingers Capcom makes a 5th game someday and it comes to pc, since I'm assuming nowadays a game by Capcom is guaranteed to have a western release, right?..... right? Hahahaha

@Profar26 26 дней назад

@@carlosferreira2676 I do play Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi a lot, using RPCS3 emulator. I even stream that game on my channel, currently doing a marathon of every character. You can play Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi using the RPCS3 emulator on PC, and it works really well, depending on your PC specs of course. Speaking of English version, there is a dedicated community and Discord server, for creating an English translation mod for Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi on RPCS3.

@carlosferreira2676 25 дней назад

@Profar26 that's awesome! I remember seeing something about a fan translation for 4 but at the time they were just beginning, I'll need to have a look now, because playing the 4th entry, the enhanced version on top of it, in english, will be like a dream coming true to me, no joke

@TangKeke31 27 дней назад

The game is f-ing popular in Philippines just like how you told us how popular it is in indonesia. we have a place called "Videohan" or arcade in english and each kids who plays Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes has one each character to own :v it was just a rule that every kids and in every places make whenever a SB game exist in a PS2 coin operated machine. Musou games is nonexisted in our minds back then because no PS2 coin operated system has it. in fact they didn't knew a Musou game until the xbox 360 coin operated machine exist and it was i who introduce it to them and even kids foolishly tought i was playing SB4 :v I was playing DW8 that time. i have the HD collection now on my ps3 but i rarely play it now lol. but Sengoku Basara becomes a part of my childhood :3

@kiq993 27 дней назад

It's good to know that you gays have a native term for Arcade. Here in Brazil we call them "Fliperama" (the ones with fighting games cabinets). The equivalent for Videohan we have it's called "Locadora" or Lan House, but the last one was more often used for Cyber Cafes, where Level Up was a really big deal back in the day With Ragnarok and Grand Chase.

@wolfofpersia2275 27 дней назад

I honestly think this game is goated but it's not the best warriors game on ps2, warriors orochi 1&2 are the best, specially the wo2 you have more characters with different move set, unique weapons, skins and wallpapers, you can bring 3 characters into a fight and change them on a whim, and interactions of the characters might not be as good as the w03, were still fun, and weapon upgrade system is freaking awesome you also have the versus mode, survival mode and dream mode but at the end of the day I can absolutely see why would someone say sb2h is the best warriors game by the way great video

@Profar26 26 дней назад

Oh, I love Warriors Orochi 2 on the PS2. Both Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes and Warriors Orochi 2 are the top 2 musou games on that system. Both games have a lot of replay value. I put Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes higher than Warriors Orochi 2, is because the production value of the prior is better than the later, at least for the PS2. I usually go for Musou Orochi Z, when I want to experience Warriors Orochi 1 and 2, rather than playing those games individually on the PS2. Musou Orochi Z is the definitive version of Warriors Orochi 1 and 2 combined.

@wolfofpersia2275 25 дней назад

@@Profar26 well yes the z version is better for sure, but production value of wo2 alone is amazing, and I would argue it's higher, more level themes and more varied levels with unique scenarios and team ups the sb2h characters have more individuality because of character theme songs and animations but if we compare the wo2 levels production value with sb2h characters production value you can understand why to someone like me wo2 is the best warriors game on ps2 but I completely understand your mindset brother.

My favorites are: • Sengoku Basara 4 Sumeragi - The Best (Japanese Ver.) I play on the PS5 with a Singapore account. • Sengoku Basara 3 Utage I play on PC with RPCS3 emulator • Sengoku Basara HD collection I play on PC with RPCS3 emulator I do have Basara for my PS3 but emulation is so good now that i just play on PC. Also, these games run off the DISC on PS3. It's nice to run on an SSD instead. I also have Sengoku Basara Sanada Yukimura-Den on my PS5 but haven't played it much since Sumeragi seems to be a much better game.

@SirIsaacFortesque 27 дней назад

Man, the more I watch these SB reviews, the more I want to play them as a newer Musou fan, now if only I could understand what the heck I'm doing in them or find a copy of 3 on Wii or PS3, (I have both of those consoles) but I guess that's what I asked for when trying to get into series's like this or Kamen Rider when there's barley anything you can get in English, heck I bet the English Manga and Anime releases aren't even in print anymore cuz that just my luck. These also are kind of ruining Starcrossed Soul's SB videos for me as well, not because those are bad, but I'm learning so much about these games from these videos, while his are kinda barebones, and when I watch a review, I'm there to be informed, (Like I had no idea about the unique death animations, those are so cool! why would you not mention those!) plus, you kept most of your biases out of the video, (If you've seen the first games video than I'm sure you can guess which part I'm talking about) those videos just feel more like talk pieces than reviews/retrospectives now that I think about it.

@Profar26 27 дней назад

I did watch StarCrossed Soul's retrospective on Sengoku Basara 2 and 2 Heroes, when I was brainstorming for mine. I didn't like how most of the video is him talking about the characters historical lore, instead of actually covering the game. In short, he didn't structure the video well. This is why I like to use chapters in my videos. I can focus on certain sub-topics, while keeping the main topic relevant. That's what I did for both my Sengoku Basara 2 and 2 Heroes retrospective videos.

@SirIsaacFortesque 27 дней назад

@@Profar26 Yeah that's pretty much what I'd say, I did say that I liked the video in the comments but thinking about it, it's just kinda average. And to reiterate, I didn't really like the segment talking about Samurai Warriors 1 in his video on the first game, all his comparisons felt fairly harsh and biased, ("The character designs are decent but uninspired compared to Basara") and felt a little pretentious as well. Along with the comparisons being very apples to oranges, it also feels like he just said it's a decent game to get SW fans off his back, like I get it, you prefer the anime disguised as historical fiction over the historical fiction disguised as an anime, just say you don't like the game compared to Basara and move on, it isn't that hard to say you don't like a game, you can say you think it's an okay or decent game, but you still don't like it, it's that easy man.

Amazing video, I sort of wanted to make a retrospective of the whole series, specially knowing Japanese I can explain the entire lore for every game and character, and a lot of stuff from behind the scenes during development that I've got to learn, also trivia like the whole drama with the game producer, or the Basara vs Musou fanbase war... but it would be like a 6h long video, and not only would it take an awful lot to source everything up, but writing it and editing it all together would be painful also I'd probably want to buy the few manga that I am yet to read from Basara, and the stageplays (Only watched the Basara x DMC one, the others never interested me much), so I'd have to spend quite a lot of money for it, I'll stick with translating the openings and endings for the games/anime

@Profar26 6 дней назад

I mean if you want to do retrospective videos of Sengoku Basara, then go for it. In regards to the drama with Kobayashi, and the Basara vs. Musou fanbase war, it's not worth talking honestly. What is there to talk about? You're just going to ramble for 6 hours, about what people say on online forums, and nothing more. It's just emotionally draining. As for the Kobayashi drama, like I said, what is there to talk about? A lot of them are just speculations with no evidence, based on "he says, she says". There is no end to it as well, because there is no legit case to begin with.

@Synest2 5 дней назад

@@Profar26 a lot of it is useless and not worth being mentioned past the fact that it gave basara a not so good image with musou fans and some Capcom fans in Japan, which kind of made it harder for the game to grow more over there (and maybe getting more budget for new games)... No point in going in-depth after stuff like internet fights and someone being weird 14+ years ago. Like I've said its mostly trivia, and trivia tends to be trivial (hence why they come from the same word), it's not demonizing the game that I love, just fun facts that I've personally never seen being discussed, though I don't know if the fanbase for these games in the west even exist after Koei Warriors forums sort of died Same for things development stuff, e.g why kotaro is mute, why some characters never returned, etc...
