The Paladin's Quest "review" | Jason Graves | EVERY SNES RPG #18 

Avoiding late battles for time sounds very Shin Megami. They made a sequel for this called Lennus 2. I do love the aesthetics of this game.

Nails can recover HP via his equipment which leeches off enemy's HP. If he is defeated he can be recruited again by simply returning to the area where he was initially found.

I just finished this game, it's amazing. I actually adore how actually short it is. The lore is also amazing. It's like a 90's love letter to 60's 70's Sci Fi.

My headcanon to explain this art style is that Paladin's Quest takes place in the Fantasy Zone. Space Harrier and Opa-Opa are busy doing their things just off camera.

another great review. Keep em coming!

your video 10/10 beat in: 15 mins story matters? Yes. Tagline? Needs haircut

Glad i stumbled across this channel, definitely an underrated gem. Similar in humour, charm, and narrative flow to some of my top other favourites. Keep on doing what you are doing!

Just what I needed, am loving this series so far. Greetings from New Zealand!

Holy crap seizure warning lol This games pretty bizarre and I appreciate you have the stamina to muscle through these long rpgs but this is one of the most interesting yet. That robot is one hell of a design idea. The kind of memorable and unique thing you'd expect from Demons Souls. Congrats on 800! :D

What's a paladin?

I actually really enjoyed this game. It's got it's nuances but it had a good challenge and was pretty original for it's time.

I played this game almost two decades ago and all I remembered was the HP-is-your-MP thing and the aesthetic. The rest of your top 10 list, though, has me wondering about a re-play 🤔

I love this channel, it helps me sift through the massive snes jrpg backlog without having to spend tons of time on these weird games I might not enjoy at all. You're doing God's work!

Actually, Nails can restore its health. One of its attacks drains health from enemies. 🙂

They need to do a Switch remaster compliation with this and Lennus 2!

You are slightly wrong about Nails. He has 'energy draw' which is a drain life ability. He can heal with that from whatever weak enemies happen to be nearby.

Man, just discovered your channel, good stuff and kudos for the explanation of the part that you cut out, was a good choice :)

Nice review man! I like PQ but never got around to finish it. Good job! Also, some equipment (helmet) do heal you or have secondary effect

Yeah this game has flaws with the battles but the art style and unusual plot kind of makes up for that, I wouldn't mind playing this one once in awhile. I've seen the concept art for this game and it's really unique and well made, after seeing it I realized they probably wanted to do a lot more with graphics but just couldn't manage it you kind of have to fill in the blanks because of how abstract the simplistic visuals are. I'm sure you know it got a sequel, it fixes a lot of the problems PQ has and the visuals are a lot more detail, but that point you made about PQ being short is the big problem with Lennus 2, it's extremely padded in the worst ways possible (and the soundtrack is significanly less inspired). I'm not even sure which I could say is better, they're both flawed. Anyway good video I think you were fair with it and basically everything I'd agree with.

Sweet I got noticed lol. Great video keep em coming

That was a great review. I think it could have been a bit shorter, but you covered everything well. You hair is fabulous.

Great review as usual! Can’t wait for the next one!

I know this video is a year old, but someone mentioned that you could heal Nails, which is true. You can also get him back after he dies if you go back to the place where you recruited him the first time.

Really enjoy your content Jason

You can actually heal the robot. If you press left on its attack menu thing you'll do "Eng drw" which heals the robot for 1/2 of whatever damage number.

This one is filled with Interesting mechanics

I'm quite curious to see a review of the sequel, Lennus II. I personally think it's one of the more underrated hidden gems of the Super Famicom. It fixes a lot of the issues the first game had, including the boss fights. I was enough of a lunatic to do a full solo playthrough with just the main character Farus and no other recruits.

This game definitely has a unique look due to those colors

Does anyone recognize the song at 9:06? It sounds like gamelan

I adore this game. I didn't enjoy the sequel as much.

Will u play Eternal Filena

Bruuuuuuh please do one on Shadow run!It's the best rpg franchise 🍻

I feel like you missed the whole item system. BTW Sph crown heals too. And you can carry bottles in your backpack wit ch is good between battles.

The battles using individual body parts was done much better in the ps1 game Legend of Legaia - just play the pal version JP and PAL had normal exp and gold, North America got it halved

i know this video is a few years old but could someone PLEASE tell me what the songs at 1:00 and 1:14 are? they might be the same song, i honestly cant tell

Well done on putting this video together :)

Can anyone tell me the title of the music piece that's used during point 8 (magic system) and where it's form? I could have sworn I've heard it somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. Many thanks in advance.

What is the song that starts at 1:00 ish?

i played the sequel its alright

This game looks like it took the art style of Dragon's Heaven, and made it into a video game.

Epilepsy warning 1:41 4:17 7:55

This game gave me the sharts.

why is the sound so terrible?!?

Laid his future comments face down in defense mode

On the one hand, paladins are the best class and quests are the best adventures. On the other hand, Chezni and his name inspired an annoying guy on a game dev forum I used to go to and his terrible games.

So, the guy plays the game _completely wrong_ and has a bad experience with it. Such as the clip of him hitting the enemy for 4 damage with his knife at the beginning of the video. The game makes it *abundantly clear* that you are a *MAGE* and as such, should be using *SPELLS* to kill things. If you're doing anything other than blasting magic with Chezni or Midia, _you're doing it wrong_ quite simply. And I know, I know "but but casting spells uses HP!" ... that's why you don't sell your medicine bottles when you get new ones. At the end of the game, you'll have like 4 mini bottles, 4 large bottles, and 4 giga bottles or something like that and you can go entire dungeons, blasting away every battle, running away from nothing, and getting ridiculous amounts of XP from it. Oh and as you cast spells, not only do they get stronger, but your resistance against that element grows. By the end of the game, Chezni ends taking 1 damage from pretty much every non-physical attack. Oh, and let's not forget that Midia's crown heals herself for 800 which is a powerful heal through most of the game which lets her spam her spells as much as she wants.

Why u wuss out if the joke. Your not an expert. You are alive you know wha death means i think all of us are knowledged in that aspect. I understand tho probably didn't want to hurt someones fifis

Interesting, but I still wouldn't play this game.

Racism bad. So I guess that leaves the Fashion Police? "Never trust a guy who needs a haircut."

Going to the back half of the world map and seeing it just being undone was weird. I still love the world, races, look, enemies, party selection, music, vibe, and spell advancement system. The music loop is just interesting and long enough and at a beat that fits with the walking speed and time in each room and area.

Not sure being southern = racism. Seems more like a knock at how the American south were awful people back in the day...and still are today. Unless.youre referencing something else im not picking up on.
