The whole series is an underrated gem, right up there with Phantasy Star, Suikoden, and Grandia. While this game is a tad too silly at times, I eventually grew to like it. Plus Shania is top tier waifu material.
@@DeepenedDelusion Agreed, I really hope it gets a remake. Hopefully they’ll make it less silly when they do. I believe more people would want to play it then.
Because this Japanese game was dubbed in New York, it had many of the 4Kids VAs, including Sean Schemmel (still Adult Goku and King Kai for the FUNimation dubs of the Dragon Ball franchise).
Wow the video quality is really good. I'm playing this game on my ps2 w/ component cables on a 60" plasma tv and it probably only looks half as good as this video.
I love the original, was just playing Covenant last night, but never picked up From the New World. Is the plot story for this one even related to the first 2, or Koudelka?
No, this is the least favorite of the series and is pretty much a standalone game with little connection to the previous story. There were some referrences to the prequels but theres no connection compared to the direct sequel story wise. This is just a ''Shadow Heart'' game with a 3 slapped on and the series ended with SH2.
@@BuffMaister Ah, OK. Thanks for your reply. That really helps a lot to decide whether to add it to my video game collection or not. I did notice in your video that Roger Bacon looks just like he does in Covenant.
Yeah, it continued to use the series game gameplay mechanics. I think Roger Bacon was just a living corpse and didn't age by appearance that much, or the timeline wasn't that big of a jump from the series. Well, Shadow Hearts 3 is fine, it offers the same gameplay mechanics, if you enjoyed 1/2 you will like 3 as well. It's just that they shifted the characters into more cartoon like while they also changed the atmosphere graphics. The series had a more dark horrorish atmosphere, that's not really present in SH3. It's worth a try, it all depends if you can accept the story for how it is.
Wow I forgot just how terrible the voice for Roger Bacon was in this game..... and just how screwed up the plot is, at least there was an actual plot to the first two Shadow Hearts games
