Yeah that's been true since about 2019/20, it just took a while for it to hit me. These days gaming content is all about stream highlights with loud, attention-grabbing meme edits, or one-off video essays that can be enjoyed as podcasts. My theories for why this happened: -Twitch and streaming happened. -The audience that enjoyed LPs grew up and has less free time now, while the younger generation has a much lower attention span due to things like TikTok. -Editing got more "professional" and YT gravitated towards more edited content. Granted, Zoran's Conquest LP is doing reasonably well (15k views per part is pretty amazing these days).
@@BigKlingy yeah I've noticed traditional LPs have been way less common for a good while and I think you're right on the money as to why Which is very sad because I too enjoy the style of LPs you do, and definitely prefer them over streams
@BigKlingy if you like streaming go for it I prefer not to what them I can’t stand the mess in the chats bout the raccoons are menaces them and ratatouilles smh
Sometimes I say the wrong year numbers. But wow, imagine a world where we got Engage instead of Awakening. (Actually FE probably would've died, as cynical as that sounds, it was waifus that sold Awakening and Engage's romances were downplayed.)
Never heard of Zoran, but at your mention I decided to check out his Conquest run that he is currently doing. While I understand his playthrough is the reason you are against doing Conquest (for now) I will say this after watching a few episodes: the way he does things feels very different from yours, despite the similarities regarding bios. I guess the simple thing to say is: His playthrough feels more like a walkthrough rather than a Let’s Play, if that makes any sense. When I watch his stuff, it feels like a “do this specific thing to get successful results on your playthrough”, where as with your playthrough, I can watch it and still feel confident in doing things a different way, and I can have fun looking back on how you did things, and I can think “oh, so this is how he did it”. Like with yours I feel like I can learn how to do multiple solutions to a problem instead of having to follow one specific way to do it, otherwise I fail. I’ve also probably said this before, but if the “certain someone leaving” is who I think you’re referring to, I will say that, yeah, it sucks to see them go, but with channels like yours I can always look forward to seeing something interesting. While some people said that your channel/content is similar to their’s, I’d have to disagree. Honestly your content feels a lot more grounded (if that makes sense), and I assure you I mean that in the most positive way possible.
I prefer the gray and black background for the bios, makes it easier to see I'd be down for seeing an Awakening run, I may be biased cuz I am really nostalgic to that game.
I'm at this point where I'm weirdly nostalgic for it too. And I'm guessing 99.99999999999% of people will say grey and black. The only problem is it cuts off the characters' SEES numbers.
I know this is gonna sound weird but you're kind of an inspiration to me content creation wise? I just feel like you have a really good balance of content and the things you want to do are very well defined.
I think the checkered background works. The transparent one was difficult to read. It would be so funny if Thracia was the remake while we all assumed it would be FE 4 or 6.
Personally, I'd be down for this specifically because it would hopefully flesh out the cast. Since Thracia's cast is currently the most under-developed
Agreed on Thracia's cast. No-one cared about Gaiden's characters until Echoes hit. Now Tharcia's are in that boat (seriously, Kain and Alva? Ralph?) and could really use the boost. Though these days, you might as well call it: "Fire Emblem Origins: Reinhardt (Featuring Leif!)"
Hi. I'm relatively new to your channel. I started watching sometime around the Episode Aigis announcement because I realized that I never knew the contents of The Answer; I only knew the ending so I searched up something like "Persona 3 fes the answer walkthrough" and yours was the first to appear. Since then I have completely watched your Persona 3, 4, 5, currently watching reload and strikers and I finished watching your Blue Lions blind run through of Three House so I don't think you have to worry about your videos not being shown to people cause you were the first result I got when I was looking for playthroughs of The Answer. Moreover my point is that I've thoroughly enjoyed not only your older content but your newer content as well and I'm excited to see your future projects.
Wow, thanks! This is the best praise I could've gotten, honestly. I noticed very few people uploaded full playthroughs of The Answer (most Persona Let's Players HATED it at the time) so I wanted to fill that void, and I'm glad that helped. I kinda "liked it before it was cool" so it's nice to see opinions on it turning in recent years. Thanks for sticking around and I hope you enjoy what I have planned next. (Also your Avatar is cool. I wish Godfrey was a better Blade...)
7:30. Also Follow-up Critical Multiplier (Or Pursuit Critical Coefficient) also plays a role in how busted a character in Thracia can be. 14:48. I would actually welcome Fire Emblem Streams because I don't really see a lot of people streaming FE games, besides Excelblem but he's a special case. A Radiant Dawn Ironman sounds like it would a fun ride.
I used to really like Callion... 7:30 I prefer PCC because if you say follow-up the abbreviation becomes... "FUCM". 14:48 Actuallizard does it a bit. I've managed to catch his PoR live.
Neat to see you’ve got a pretty solid plan going forward, Nintendo Directs notwithstanding. For the Persona 3 Bios, I’d go with the checkered layout, it’s easier to see the text on them for me. As for potential streaming options, I’m definitely interested in seeing some FE Iron Man runs if possible, although I’d also be interested in seeing Sly Cooper, as I’ve got some cursory knowledge on that series from way back in the day.
Good to hear from you again! Channel plans seem great, excited to hear about more Megaten and Persona stuff, and ironman streams seem great, though a quick warning about Radiant Dawn: the game has a lot of game over conditions that might not immediately come to mind (IIRC losing anyone before 1-4 is a game over, most units in early part 2 are game over conditions, and part 3 has some long-term game over cons that are not great, including Ranulf and I believe Sigrun.). I believe there is a patch that removes a lot of these, it might, in fact, be the same one that fixes the enemy ranges, but just something to keep in mind
Ah right. I knew there were a lot of game over conditions but I was forgetting those. (The early DP chapters banning all deaths are probably a mercy to avoid later ones being too hard)
I absolutely understand the feeling of getting beat down by the algorithm. I know that the video analytics messages are supposed to be "helpful" or "inspiring" but they really only come across as rude and mocking if something doesn't do well. Mid-sized creators have it hard enough already and it feels like this definitely doesn't help. I would love to watch... any streams I can catch, lol. Crash and Sly are definitely games I wanna see though and I might have a lot more time this coming summer, or maybe even once uni starts. P3 streams are great background noise I find. On a more personal note, I picked up Hades again on Switch this time, and... turns out the game is a lot more fun when you get combos like Artemis' on-hit homing arrows together with the fists or, like, 10 Aphrodite upgrades in a row lmao. Definitely good that I got back into it, thanks for inspiring me :) WOOOOOOOOOOO THRACIA WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Of course I couldn't NOT mention it in this comment. ...now that I have that out of my system, I would not only love to watch, but also contribute in one way or another. I'm no expert at the game but with a relatively fresh playthrough on me and a good amount of experience, it'd be fun to help in whatever way I can. A lot of things on both of the wikis, especially the "strategy" and "viability" sections, feel like they were written by a snobby Reddit user 10 years ago. A test playthrough helps of course, but it's easy to overlook character niches (especially on join maps) or other small improvements. Not quite playing for "efficiency" per se, not a fan of that, moreso trying to strategically plan as best as possible.
They CAN help if you want to go all-in on appeal, but I find it's hard to do that without "selling out" or begging people to like and subscribe every few minutes. (I HATE how, psychologically, that tactic works) The thing with "video essay" channels that I've also noticed is the gap between well-performing videos and others tends to be massive. You'll make one thing that gets like 200k views because it lucked out with the algorithm, then everything else has sub 500. These also tend not to build commenter loyalty, as you're drawing in random people who get the video recommended to them rather than long-time subs, I've noticed a few big "video essayists" don't hit nearly as many numbers on streams. People turn up for the hits, but don't stick around. Hades be like that. I used to dislike several weapons and gods, then I got on a good run with them and was like WOAH. Artemis' homing arrows were the key to many of my early successes though, combined with her Cast boons + Hermes'. (Exit Wounds + Fully Loaded + fast cast recovery is fun. Alternatively, Artemis + Demeter for homing ice lasers. Still haven't got the Artemis + Ares homing blade rifts.) Another example was Zeus. I used to not like him, then I got his Legendary Boon and the lightning bolts MELTED boss health.
Regarding streaming, it's legitimately shocking that a stream chat of an average of 80ish viewers and no moderator keeping them in check really doesn't end up needing it. Oh yeah regarding the Highlight Reel of... the Incident from last stream, it's being worked on. It's... certainly something so far.
As someone who's been holding off on watching other Q2 Let's Plays to wait for yours to come out because I found your channel through your Persona Q Let's Play and absolutely loved the way you were very knowledgeable AND 100% completed every floor AND finished every side quest/hang out thing... I'm a very sad panda that I have to wait longer lol But if you need the break from Persona, take the break. I can wait. I'd prefer your usual great commentary where it's clear you're enjoying yourself over you not enjoying it as much as you otherwise would've because you're shoving through on the Persona grind. As for platformers that you might want to try out, might I recommend Jak and Daxter? The first game of that series is a really nifty platformer and is quite simple to 100% in one playthrough, plus the story is a lot of fun. If you haven't tried it out yet, definitely recommend giving it a peek!
I'm sure I'll do Q2 one day, sorry to keep you waiting. As I said here, I kinda don't want to run through all the Phantom Thieves games at once. I've played all 3 Jak games in the past. They're all good, but I like Ratchet and Sly more.
Once I finish Act 2 of Dragon Quest 11, I’m going to continue my Max Social Link run in Persona 4 Golden with Yukiko Amagi. 2:11 Don’t forget about Reload’s upcoming DLC: Episode Aigis the Answer
The livestreams have really helped me feel like I’m able to interact more directly with other members of this community, and that’s felt pretty nice. For the P3R bios, I think the black and grey skill background looks better, as it’s a little easier to read.
0:32- Yeah, 2023 was probably some of the most fun I've had on this channel. I'll admit to bias as any year remotely better than my 2022 would have been a godsend, but even with that factored in, I think that was one of the best years your channel has had. Not just in terms of growth, but I just felt so nice and legitimately fun (and was rather infectious because how much you were enjoying yourself in those projects as well). 1:37- Ooooooh, those look so nice. Always have a way with making these Klingy. The only thing I can think to improve is to maybe give the skill boxes checkerboard backgrounds, or at least a more "proper" background at least some kind of just in case some of the "special effects" from the character level up screens bleeds into the text (like you can see happening the Garula and Recarm text boxes). 2:55- I already have an idea or two, but now I feel dumb since I also feel like I overlooked the hints. Maybe I can blame chat for that one. Xp 4:40- That would be a cool idea. 5:03- I would be a lot more concerned with the workload. I can kind of speak from experience since for an associate's Dark Souls 1 stream, whenever I had to help them out in boss fights via summons, I did it with different characters each time as gag impersonators of others in our group. The problem that came with that it was draining doing multiple runs at once. For you, it'd only just be two and not several like I did, but I would like for you to avoid the extra stress unless you really want to stream SMTV as well. 6:06- "I haven't abandoning the series." Why would that even be an idea? Our last play through before Strikers was Engage and that was only a couple of months ago. Don't feel like you're abandoning FE all because you had two Atlus things (Strikers and P3 Reload) overlap a bit. 8:17- Understandable. Once again, even with my massive Thracia loving heart, I will join all and any efforts to help damn 24x as one of FE's worst maps. 8:36- At the very least, Thracia's was the most innocent (in route split design, actually maps can be mean there) with only a grand total of two different chapters (16A/16B and 17A/17B) and only few story details change that don't radically alter the narrative without dragging it down. But whenever you do play Thracia, hope you have a great time. 8:54- On one hand never a good when we get a section that's just YT's logo in a video, but on the other, the screen messing it up so it's just "Tube" is pretty funny. Xp 10:55- Again, sorry you have to deal with what's effectively YT's abuse to you and to any other creator strangled by its systems. I just hope that in spite of the BS, you can continue to do what you love. 11:26- Barring Gary Stu disconnecting the stream after he was released back into the world anyway. lol 12:44- Why is Tails upside down? Poor boy. Xp 14:45- Before moving onto the last thing to note, just want to say that all of these stream ideas have me very interested in checking out, so you can expect me to be there too. 15:47- Don't. Lunatic + sounds like pure and utter hell. I don't want to see more suffer from it. 16:10- After last time, might just want to do that in general. Xp 16:11- But on a serious note, FE streams also sound very fun and I'd understand if you needed to go into a hyper focus mode if you decide to do more difficult stuff for them. 16:35- Oh yeah. Almost overlooked that and the FE4/FE6 section. That could be a massive shake up, but for said Direct, I can honestly see it go 50-50 on if we get news of a FE Remake or not. On one hand, A FE remake coming in at the end of a console's lifespan isn't out of the question given Echoes, a 3DS game, released after the Switch dropped, but on the other, with how much bigger FE has become since 2017, I'm also curious if Nintendo would use a FE game, especially a big remake many want, to be a launch title for the Switch's successor and thus will hold off until 2025 for that. In other news, while I'm perfectly fine before anyone gets concerned, I am now Stu Pickles and have lost control of my life. By that I mean for game stuff. What's complicated/caused this is my previously mentioned associate is going through Monster Sanctuary, one of my favorite games of all time. However, to make sure I can give actually good advice, I'm kind of forced to do a third run, which I don't mind per say and I'm having a lot of fun (just probably won't do the ultimate post-game Keeper fights as I don't think he'll actually go through with them). Problem is that has thrown a massive wrench into my schedule in that now, I have to play that game, get down my MD grinding as the second event for this month has started, I need to grind it, and I've yet to start it, AND tomorrow begins the release of the TTYD remake, which my copy should be arriving for in time. As you can see, that's a lot of f^^^ing juggling at the moment. Once the MD grinding comes to an end, things will ease up considerably. By then hopefully I can get into a pattern of alternating between Monster Sanctuary and TTYD and get those both done before Vengeance comes out (and maybe get some time for Trails From Zero, but zero promises on that).
I enjoyed 2023 a lot and getting to talk about the Engage cast in my own videos and reading your comments were very happy memories for me. It sounded like Nocturne but I don't think it will be. SMT5 V does sound pretty interesting and I may get it myself for Christmas but I guess we shall see since it will have to compete with a potential game that comes out of the Direct as well as Trails from Azure. I was picking up the slack with the FE content with the Fates playthroughs. You bet I was glued to the WOD map when I was playing 24x. At least I had Rescue staves if something went wrong. Thracia happens to be the next FE game I will probably play on my channel too so hopefully I don't end up starting it at the same time as Klingy's playthrough. It has been rough for me too since Heartgold and Rev haven't done very well in views and I haven't gone passed 149 subs despite how successful Conquest was. It is making me a bit worried about my future too especially since I am not 100% sure what I want to play next as well. Tails is probably saying "I'm falling" as well. While I can't watch them live, I may need to watch some of the VODs because of stuff later. Lunatic+ might be the worst difficulty in FE history. At least on Lunatic, you have Fred to get you out of a pinch but if skill RNG goes wrong, even he can't save you. I probably need to play Engage at some point since I have some unfinished business with a certain unit but I may also need some ideas of potential units to try as well. We shall see since it could cause a massive shake up for me and what games I want to get as well. Sounds like you will be busy because of Monster Sanctuary. I do have some fond memories of that game since I used some of that game's OST in my FE4 playthrough which happens to be the playthrough I am most proud of. Hope MD also goes well as well and I hope you enjoy TTYD as much as me since I probably consider the original one of my favourite games of all time. As for myself, Rev is very close to completion and I hope my playthrough of Paralogue 15 will help avenge the heartache that map caused you on your Conquest Lunatic playthrough. Like I said before, I am not 100% sure what game I want to cover next so for my birthday, that will probably when I do my next update video so we can think about it. Speaking of that, it shouldn't be a surprise what game I am getting for that. As for myself, a lot of cool things happened in my Gran Turismo 4 so here are some highlights. I completed most of the events that need the A License and that included a lot of one make events that meant I almost ran out of money but doing the Japan Championship in my beloved Mitsubishi Evo 6 fixed that problem. That also meant I had enough money to prepare a car for my first endurance race, the New York 200 miles. I used the Nismo 400R which I won from the Japan 90's challenge and with those preparations, it won pretty comfortably since it lapped the whole field in this 2 hour race. That meant I won 250,000 credits which is really nice as well as a Dodge Charger Super Bee. By the way, the endurance races are what I will use the VODs for since I am going to need it for how long some of these endurances are going to be since 2 hours is considered a short endurance in Gran Turismo 4. With that done, it was time to get the IB License which wasn't as bad as I thought since no test didn't take as long as that one test in the A License. Just simple trial and error got me through. The bronze prize was a Nike One 2022 which isn't useful but it is a funny car since it predicted what cars will look like in 2022 when it turns out, they don't look that radical nowadays. The Silver prize was a Mazda RX8 Concept and the Gold Prize was a Jenson Interceptor which is an interesting looking car and this prize is the only way to get a new one since it can also appear in the used car dealer. Now it is time to start the IB events which has been going very nicely so far and I also reached 50% completion which won me my first prototype race car, the Jaguar XJR-9 Race Car which will be nice for when we need a seriously fast car. Some of those events were a new type of event called the Missions where you are given a car to drive and you have to win in unique scenarios although the first set are just passing an opponent before the finish. These missions were pretty easy and beating this first set wins us the Delorean which is a cool car in the Back To The Future films but in real life and games like this, it isn't all that. Currently, I am challenging myself in the All American Championship which is the first event where the opponents use race cars.
@@BerserkerRohan 2023 was good for all of that as well. Thanks on your end with those talks as well. That was one of my guesses, but I'm less sure on it now, both due to the "it's not too long" remark and how he addressed interest in Nocturne as if that wasn't the game he was planning on doing. Could be faking myself out mind you, but I at least feel confidant enough to say that I was wrong. At the very least, if you need answers for Vengeance, I can at least answer a few as I play. True, but I just didn't want Klingy to feel bad for not playing as much FE even though that was just our second to last play through. Same here. Thank you WOD. I have the general spots memorized, but still need it to be safe. Though for me, it's more of a hassle with those traps since I always have more than enough Rescue Staves to get someone out thanks to my hoarding habits. Yeah, less overlap the better for you two, though I'd still feel there would be enough to differentiate your runs if that scenario did happen. Sorry to hear that. Can't say not to worry since I don't really know what's it's like to manage a channel, but I do want to avoid seeing you get demoralized. Don't let YT's BS get to you. Plus I feel like your channel is still at a stage where the algorithm isn't as damning yet, so I think you can still do what you want and adjust if need be. True, you can always watch the VoDs at anytime. Just for the last one [5/18/24]... Maybe mentality prepare yourself for chat's insanity so you aren't completely blindsided like I was. Xp It really is. And trust me, I've seen the horror stories of it and how 99% of maps, especially early on are just "keep rerolling until Billy Bobs 9, 12, and 20 don't get Hawkeye+ and Luna+ at the same time." Not even FE12's Lunatic Reverse was THAT luck dependent despite the BS it forces you to do. The only other difficulty mode I ignore when it comes to FE is FE9's Maniac Mode, but at least that one gets ignored for me since it's not an option for my copy of the game and that's at least tied to bloated tedium and not outright unfairness like Lunatic+. Meanwhile on my end I still need to do that Maddening Run I said I would do ago like six months ago. Yeah the June Direct is usually a literal game changer for what people will do. Oh really? I remember your racing video where you used the Alchemist's Battle Theme, but I didn't realize (or maybe my stupid ^ss forgot again that) you used some songs for the FE4 Playthrough too. Nice. I'm hoping so too. Though we're going to wait and see as looks like mailing messed up in a good way and I just got the TTYD early since my last comment, so I can at least delay the juggling pain until tomorrow or Friday. Took me a moment to remember which one that was, but then the PTSD kicked in. Xp But on a serious note, take care with that chapter and be sure to make every foe on it suffers what they're owed. Also good work on the Rev play through being almost done. Fantastic work with GT4, even more so now that you are officially at the 50% mark of completion. Given how big this game is shaping up to be, that in itself is an achievement, so great work on that and hopefully the last 50% will go by quicker. I'm really hoping that given all of the stuff you've won and hope it sets you up nicely for the challenges ahead. Also good call on using the VoDs for the Endurance Races since if I tried doing those without some kind of other stimulus to keep me going, I doubt I'd make it through. Also yeah, figured a normal Delorean wouldn't do much, but to be fair it isn't a nuclear powered time machine, so how much can it really do without that? lol Although now I'm imagining a Time Traveling Car in a Racing game and the hilariously broken implications that would cause in one. Best of luck with the All American Championship next by the way (although I have to wonder what your opponents were racing with before if only now they have Race Cars). EDIT: Shoot, almost forgot, happy preemptive Birthday. Also no surprise for what the pick there will be.
@@jaredfayette2567 I will look forward to doing something similar for whatever the next FE game is. It will be interesting to see what it will be. That is nice to hear since that should make that decision for Christmas easier. It does feel more annoying then anything if you neutralise all of the staff users on the map near the beginning. It does effect me less since I am not at 500 yet but it is a little bit worrying. As long as I continue to record what I enjoy, things should continue to go fine. I will keep that in mind since it might effect my driving too much. I think there are also random enemies with Counter as well and not just Warriors which is also terrible if it spawns on an ambush spawn. Considering the many ways my brother has beaten Maddening, you should be fine. Nice to hear things worked out well with TTYD as well. You bet that I made the enemies suffer and then some. Reaching 50% is very nice although due to the endurances, the second half is going to be much longer. I started doing that for GT3's really long events and they really help and GT4 will have plenty of long events as well. I am pretty sure some racing games may reference that Delorean although probably without the time travelling since that sounds overpowered. It is dependant on the event but I was just up against fellow road cars and for the grand majority of events, racing tyres are also banned. One week until then now and it should be a very fun one this year.
As a suggestion for a potential Awakening stream, if you're okay with modding Project Thabes was recently completed, and it looks like it adds a lot of cool stuff. Gay Awakening is also really fun for all the extra pairing options that are added.
... Oh boy last stream was a fever dream. But good job on figuring things out about streaming and let's plays. Do whatever you feel comfortable with! I feel bad for not being able to watch streams live but they are really fun to watch! As for the bios, they look great and the grey backround fits a bit better. Also I am getting into sly myself. I loved what you did with the p5 strikers character bios and how they referenced Sly
Unfortunately I usually cannot follow streams because of timezones and other stuff I have to do, so I guess a good alternative for people like me would be very short videos on something funny/cool etc that happened live. You kinda did a couple of them for the P3 streams and I liked them a lot. Also I think the algorithm pushes them a little bit more so maybe more people can get to know you through them. I think it's a lot of work though so I consider it more like a sporadic thing to make people who don't follow streams involved in your new 'project'!
YES!!!! XENOBROS STAY WINNING!!!!!!!!! Admittedly, I've only checked out some of your stuff, but I like FE, Persona, and Xenoblade, so I'm looking forward to more! (Of your stuff not only those three lol)
Exciting! As one of your fans who is into both Persona and Fire Emblem, I personally would be happy watching anything from those series on your channel. I don't get Persona-d out, and I don't plan on buying P5T (at least not anytime soon), so watching a playthrough of it by you would be pretty cool, but I also understand your concerns. Especially about running out of P5 content. I haven't been able to watch many of your streams, but I sometimes go back and watch the videos afterwards. And I think Fire Emblem streams would be neat! Especially Awakening, which I have also been meaning to go back and replay. I don't particularly care what type of run you do, or even if you just play them like normal. I also think that Sly Cooper could be very fun for streaming. Regardless, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next!
Honestly this is just the year of “you have to many games to play” for me. Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail, Kingdom Hearts on a storefront with proper cloud saves, TTYD, Metaphor, Fallout New Vegas/4, Dragon Quest Monsters TDP, and FF16 when that launches. I’m swamped with all the games I wanna play but I only have so much time. So I kinda feel you there.
7:17 Counterpoint: If two people make the same kind of cake for an event and they both taste good, a lot of people aren't gonna care about the differences in decoration. They're just gonna be happy with the fact that there's two cakes. Also, I personally find your commentary brilliant. Edit: In fact, I am *so* fond of your commentary that your videos singlehandedly got me into Trails and Lost Dimension, AND I was able to watch some of your Persona videos even though I actively hate Persona to such an extent that the games I hate more than Persona 4 can be counted on one hand. Those games being Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and I think that might be it.
9:45 ...cancel brigades when the person was already seeking help and wanted it private. That still rubs me the wrong way. It didn't need to happen and yet it did anyway bc internet person needed their internet points. ANYWAY, I'd say make the bio skill in a checkerboard pattern and it should probably have blue somewhere. Y'know. P3. Thracia sounds fun. All I've seen of Sly is Gamechamp's no coins challenge on the first one. Oh, Awakening Lunatic+ sounds like the perfect chaotic stream game, though i'd say just Lunatic is enough. I don't wanna see you reset chapters multiple times until nothing has Vantage+ Luna+ and then eventually make Robin/Morgan solo the universe. Streams was probably the best idea to come out of this year, the Klingy chat in live is unhinged as heck and even if i can't be part of it, just watching the chaos unfold is good enough for me. (And the anime tropes are next stream... Oh dear)
The problem with awakening ironman is If you play on hard, the safest option is focusing xp on few units to reliably tank enemy phase. If you try to train a team, they will die for an ambush spawn. Happened to me. When I lost 5 units for bad ambush spawn , aka, ambush spawn in rout maps, I just Robin solo with chrom pair up. Well, you can try Awakening Lunatic +, but isn't fun. Lunatic is a bit interesting tbh. With DLC, you can train more units, without it, you are going to train a few units. My last Lunatic run was Robin, Chrom, Lissa, Frederic, Morgan and Lucina. For RD, uses the ironman patch, so you don't have random game over condition like Tanith in mekkah's bridge. I lost my ironman because of that. I think If fe4 or fe6 gets a remake, it will be considerably different like fe11 and fe 12, having different experiences, unlike gaiden /echoes
Yeah, Awakening doesn't feel like the best ironman, especially with how Robin and Frederick-dominated the earlygame tends to be. Oh right, another comment mentioned that but lol, I forgot she was a Game Over condition. An FE6 remake will probably include Lyn somehow, wonder how that'll change things.
Happy to hear about anything Fire Emblem and Persona related, but I'm still waiting for anything about Trails on your channel again, especially now with Kai no Kiseki release date revealed.
The fact that you're considering Fire Emblem streams makes me SO HAPPY. The moment I heard you were gonna give streaming a try and you liked it, I was like, "Oh. Seeing Fire Emblem challenge runs streams would be SO much fun, and allow you an opportunity to revisit games you've already finished. ^3^ If you're open to a suggestion: since you've mentioned that there are a lot of characters in Engage that you said you'd never used to Endgame before during your playthrough, maybe a playthrough where you exclusively use those characters? Get a change to try them all out at once. ^_^
I've considered that too. Alfred, Etie, Boucheron, Rosado and Zelkov need more love from me. But yeah, one day I might do challenge runs, although having to restart Ironmans might be a pain.
Atlus's output this year has sure influenced me into going through a megaten spree this year, definitely would look forward to the game you were hinting at and binding blade if you do decide to cover them as those are my favorites of their respective series.
Yoooo Thracia's on the menu! Time to get vengeance on Ch 24x! It can be a pretty miserable chapter especially if you don't know what's coming, so I don't blame you for ragequitting the first time hahaha. When I played Thracia late last year, I got to that map with enough warp/rescue/rewarp uses to cheese it, so I still haven't completed that map the old fashioned way. Let's keep it that way, shall we? The algorithm can indeed be a cruel mistress. One of my favourite LPers moved on to video essays a couple years ago, partly because of the algo but also because he gets more creative satisfaction out of his video essays these days. 12:40 _Woooooah my head's spinning!_
I'm probably going to get Ced a bunch of Reward Staves and cheese it, once I get there. 12:40 LOOK AT ALL THOSE EGGMAN'S ROBOTS! (I watched a Heroes speedrun recently. I forgot how often he said that. Followed by Knuckles' "Leave them to me, Sonic.")
15:29, yes, we can finally have that ChromxSumia pairing after not being able to use it in the lp, that’ll do nicely. But if you do this, I’d prefer a complete lp remaster for this, especially considering how old the original lp was.
P3R bios: I think a solid background would be best, that'll make it easier to read. Thracia 776: Hoo boy, I can't wait to see that it's gonna be fun hopefuly. Streaming: Also can't wait for Xenoblade 2, Crash 4 and the Sly games, aside from the first Sly which I've watched (and actually done) a few playthroughs of, I only know a few scattered plot points from that series.
I'm not sure whether I'd start with Sly 1 or 2. 2 was my first game and it's okay on its own imo, 1 has weirdly different gameplay but is needed to understand the story.
I prefer the checkerboard backgrounds. Thracia approached as a standalone would be really interesting, especially since it's gone through a bit of a reevaluation over time. Awakening and Engage both lend themselves to PMU runs (especially Engage due to Emblem combinations), although you'd have to make it first come first serve for offering up unit choices.
Yeah an Engage PMU would be kinda cool, although I do really want to focus on people I've never used before, so Alfred, Zelkov and Rosado. I could "lock in" those 3. And one underrated aspect of Thracia imo is it's by far the closest to modern FE design of all Kaga's games. The GBA trilogy takes a lot more from it than you'd think.
For the Party members bio, I love it, does fit well and it fits P3, especially the font for the names As for SMTVV, I'm down for that game if I get the time, since I got probably granblue fantasy relink, if not, DQ 11 with probably castlevania advance collection [which I would love to see a LP on some in the series, hopefully if possible, maybe lament of innocence [IOL], or something like that, but that's wishful thinking As for the fire emblem side, I don't know if you did Tokyo mirage session, I'll have to look if so, but another game made by the same who made FE is one I wouldn't be surprised to see....Code name S.T.E.A.M, because it is a very underrated game, oh, and the streams would be fun, with engage on my book if possible As for RU-vid, I got nothing As for one game that got me excited if possible, the sly series, since when I heard a few songs from the series, my child self made me giggle like a kid, and I can't wait to give some mention for some who are curious on the series
Honestly would be super thrilled to see a Nocturne studied and planned playthrough Love your in depth looks at the games you play and I’m sure there are plenty of interesting things that you’d love to share about that game! Either way, love the checkered backgrounds on the skill menus. Hard to read otherwise Also interested to know if you’re interested in the Main Series Etrain Odyssey games! Would love to see one of my favorite franchises dove into with a creator that is active in their surrounding community!
Nocturne is deeper than a lot of people think and I'll probably cover it one day. And another vote for checkerboards. I've tried the demos of a couple. Haven't personally owned any yet, but I might someday.
@@BigKlingy If you’re ever curious, I’d happily provide you with a copy of the HD collection. I’d recommend EO3 first since it’s the most welcoming title in my opinion.
I'll be here for all of it. Also, it's probably best to emulate the Sly Cooper series. The HD collection or higher ports has that one second delay of audio for characters talking. Once you notice it, it honestly ruins the dialogue and flow.
I would love to see Sly or Ratchet from you, live or in parts. As for the planned LPs, good to see you spacing things out. I do hope to see Q2 sometime relatively soon, but I understand why you want to wait on it.
I, personally, have only seen vods of your streams, but they look, and, arguably more importantly, sound, like they'd be amazing to be there as it's happening. Maybe the next time you do one and I can't seem to fall asleep, I'll hop aboard the armoured train, I have a fair amount of questions, some of which are a bit out of left field, that I'd like your answers to but feel I'd get more satisfactory answers if I hear you give them, not type them out
I am kinda hoping I could find some more info about smt v vengeance because I will be going to a game exhibition/festival that starts today and ends on Sunday. From what I can tell, Nintendo of Korea is planned to let people try demos of various games including smt v vengeance. This doesn't really mean I may able to find something new that we might want to know about but will see. Whatever comes next though, definitely looking forward to it. Algorithm is wild sometimes. Actually, YT is just wild. At a point where we know some people found your stream by searching yandere and asmr, should explain... the wildness, I suppose. I said this in the stream before, but your chat is the nicest chat I have ever seen for how many people they are. Usually when the chat becomes bigger it tends to have some "not so good chat" that it would need a mod to handle them but so far, it doesn't feel the need for it one bit. Props for everyone who joins to see you and also BK yourself for actually managing to keep such a wonderful community. Okay, so I have some interesting memories with Sly Cooper. Back when I was young, like really young, there was a mall that my mom went often to do some shopping. The game corner of that moll had a place where people can play the demo of those games. And a lot of time, Sly Cooper was the one that people can play, and a lot of kids liked it. However, I could never play the game myself for real. And as I grew up it didn't became a thing in my life. So, definitely interested to see you playing it. 15:25 lmaoooooooooooooo
We had a pretty big feature dump in a stream. I kinda wish they did that for Metaphor, they've only confirmed the most basic of basics there. Yeah, I love our chat too. There's a reason I Freudian slipped and said I had a Social Link with it. Huh, a Sly Cooper public demo? Never saw one of those. Well, you'll probably enjoy it.
I personally would like to see your usual more researched runs of Fates. I’ve watched Zoran’s Fates videos but the highly calculated moves are not my cup of tea. I like a blend of gameplay commentary, standpoints on the story, and any relevant tangents so it’s natural for me to gravitate towards your content. I’m not a stream person but it’s nice to hear that you’re enjoying it.
Strikers was great, and I totally get you wanting to save other Phantom Thieves adventures for later. Personally I’d love to see you do FE4, but if there’s gonna be a remake (Which I seriously hope there will be, FE4 is one of my favorites. I have a laundry list of things I hope they’d do with a remake.) then it makes sense to wait for that. My experience with FE5 was getting to the route split, choosing to do the B route, and then promptly having my save data erased because I was changing computers and it didn’t carry over for some reason. Same with my FE4 file, I was on Endgame. I need to get back to watching your Engage playthrough, I fell behind immensely and want to see your opinions on certain characters and maps. No idea what next Atlas game you’re hinting at since I haven’t been around for the streams, but I’m sure it’ll be fun. I’m gonna take a wild guess and say either Devil Survivor Overclocked or Majin Tensei 2. Prolly not the latter, but it’s possible. Either way I’m excited for what comes next!
I definitely think checkered looks better, way easier to read. Also should probably research when certain shoes and weapons are available to (Shift Amp shoes, Dragon Boots, Junpei's Slash Boost sword, Aigis' Pierce Boost gun, Akihiko's Strike Boost gloves, Akihiko's Apt Pupil gloves, Ken's Light Boost spear, Ken's Elec Amp spear, etc.). Thracia's weird. It's kind of like FE6 where when you know what's coming it's generally not too bad, so the more you play it the more fun it gets. Hence, why hardcore players like FE5 and 6 so much. On the other hand, if you're playing blind without a guide it can often be an absolute nightmare. There are plenty of ways you can screw yourself over or even softlock yourself at worst (door keys anyone?). There's a reason everyone says to use a guide on your first playthrough. And like you said, unit viability is a lot less dependent on stats themselves. Enemies are weak (base Mareeta can oneround enemies in the final chapter) and caps are low so strong combat is easy to come by. What matters is how unique that combat or any utility they have is. And most of the time a unit has *something* unique to them or at least useful enough to justify maybe deploying. Well... everyone but Miranda. A good example is Halvan. Competent bases, solid growths, solid base combat, solid weapon access, 4PCC is great, and Vantage is an ok skill. But he just doesn't have enough to stand out aside from availability despite being perfectly serviceable (again, strong combat is easy to come by and he has absolutely no utility) so he tends to end up in very lower middle in tier lists. 15:50 I can tell you right now Lunatic+ is not fun. When there are chapters that *require* resetting if enemies spawn with certain skill combos (set skill combos didn't happen until Fates) things are bad. Even past the earlygame Lunatic+ Awakening just turns into the typical Robin solos the game that it is on lower difficulties. Me personally, the most fun I have with Awakening comes from just going for lowest turn count. That way you can make the most of the stupid mobility tools the game has (infinitely buyable E rank Rescue, Pair-Up, Deliverer, etc.).
Holy crap that's a LOT of important weapons. DEFINITELY need to research that. Off the top of my head, missing Asbel's Paralogue and then unlocking 8x would lead to Gomez being an intense pain. And for me it'll be even more brutal as I think Gomez is sympathetic so I'd want to capture him alive... Yeah, like FE4 everyone has something unique... poor Miranda though. Gets arguably WORSE when promoted since it's mainly indoor maps from there and Dismounted Mage Knight has -1 move over Mage. I've seen a lot of people wish the Brave Axe was exclusive to Halvan, that'd give him the niche he needed. You need him to GET it, I believe, but anyone else can use it. I've completely forgotten Deliverer, lol. But yeah, I really don't want a Robin solo.
@@BigKlingy Forgot Akihiko's Strike Amp gloves to. A few of these you just get from chests on guardian floors, the rest you have to trade at the antiques shop. If you Asbel is dead, unrecruited, or fatigued the most viable option is fire sword Fergus. If that's not an option... well you're screwed. I don't think you even *can* capture Gomez, his build is huge. Not everyone has something unique or even good but everyone else at least has *something* (Marty has high build in the earlygame, Ronan has an extra base move and three move stars, Eda flies, the loser squad all have horses, Shannam has sword rank and Bargain).
1:36 I'd probably go with the checkerboard black & gray since depending on the background color the transparent tables could make the info hard to parse.
I have a potential idea for the Fire Emblem Awakening Stream playthrough.... maybe some kind of run where everyone you use has to be in a different class than their base one (for example Vaike as a Thief, Virion as a Mage and Kellam as a Priest). Though I'm aware that that would either require a bunch of grinding (for both levels and second seals) or some sort of mod that changes each unit's starting class. Also, something I've learned from a different channel who regularly streams on RU-vid: In their case, streams are given priority over videos in the algorithm but only during the stream (and the video isn't given its original priority after the stream ends). Yes it's dumb and said channel is mainly able to work around it because they primarily stream with only one weekly video.
1:37 I prefer the solid checkerboard, but I wonder if there is some way in the skills you could incorporate the colours each of the party members are associated with (maybe either have the checkerboard be a gradient of varying shades of that colour, or distinguish certain skills with the colour). 3:05 I am curious about this, since I admit I've only really skimmed the livestreams when I can't watch them. I have a vague guess as to what it may be, but we will see if that is right. 7:45 I would be interested in a FE5 playthrough, especially since I haven't heard a whole lot about Thracia other people calling it one of the most difficult FE games, but the stuff I have heard outside of that seems interesting. 9:45 Yeah.... I've been looking since the incident at might subscriptions, and most of the people I am subscribed to have either moved more towards streaming (or had by the time I started watching them) or never did LPs. 13:40 I'm not sure if you talked about this before, but if you were to stream XC2, would you do any side videos explaining mechanics, or do any bios? 16:35 I feel that one will be interesting... although I hate to think of all the "this is when the Switch 2 will be announced" people will come out of the woodwork after the direct...
7:45 It gets a lot of praise for its story now, like I said. 13:40 I'd kinda try, although "that guy" already sorta did. 16:35 Nintendo confirmed there'll be no Switch 2 announcement in the June Direct.
Haha just as I was about to comment about the June Direct talking about an FE4 Remake, you brought that up lol! I’m all for Thracia content. I love that game so much, and think it doesn’t get enough love 🤗. There definitely are some stressful moments in it, but I still think it’s the best FE has ever been mechanically (aside from a few quirks like staves missing, and recruiting Xavier ☠️). Omg! I played Awakening again this year in January and I remember I hated it the first time I played it, but I’m glad I gave it a 2nd go. I came out liking it way more than the first time. It still kinda ranks lower on the list for me, but I genuinely like it now and think it’s a good game. The end of it especially is my favorite (like right when the stuff with Grima really pops off). Also, playing Echoes and seeing the stuff with the Tower of Thabes and then going back to Awakening really puts Grima in a different light. I like that the devs added that background in Echoes.
Ugh, Xavier is going to be a THING. It's interesting seeing people new to the series go back to Awakening, because most of its fanbase is people who started with it. Interesting seeing someone like the Grima arc the best, because that tends to be where many say the story falls off.
@@BigKlingy I wish you good luck with Xavier man. I had to start that map over and over so many times to get that guy 😭. It’s been a while since I played, but I do remember using Olwen to snipe some of the Friege Knights with Bolting on that map.
Some things I'm interested, others not so much but I just have to wait and see, then decide on the spot since various circumstances may change what I want to see at that point of time.
2:40 Uh Radiant Historia? I think I remember you mentioned that in older update videos and it was on your old list of future projects on your RU-vid bio. Although I have not played it yet (I did buy it before the eshop closed), so I am not sure if that is what you’re hinting during your steams. 15:14 I am actually replaying it on Lunatic + right now. Although I’m using dlc grinding maps so I’m sort of cheating but I try not to over level my characters. Ambush reinforcements that have a chance to get counter is “fun”. You would have to reset a lot because of random skill allocation, so probably not the best to do Lunatic +. Shame about the RU-vid algorithm. Do what you feel like is best. I wish you success in whatever you decide to do.
I'd love to watch the streams, but they're in the middle of the night for me. I'd also love to see Xenoblade 2 stuff from you now that I've finished the game myself.
First off, Justice for Saias!!!! Anyways, I'd say the grey and black reads better on the skill backgrounds, since it's easier to visually digest. I'm also down for more streams, even though I haven't really watched the P3R ones. Not your fault, I just have a thing about not liking blind playthroughs of non-mystery games
It's a shame he has to compete with my favourite Mage in all Fire Emblem... (though I heard a good point in a stream: choose Ced if you need another combat unit, Saias if you're team's already good)
Definitely make skill backgrounds grey and black for P3R bios. Much easier to read that way. Alternatively, if you plan on representing the different party members with different colors (purple for Yukari?) you could also try making the colors behind the skills a monochromatic checkered pattern with 2 different shades of the same color.
Discovered your channel through your playthrough of Advance Wars Reboot Camp. Very much enjoyed the style of video you bring to the table. Never really had any interest in the Persona or Shin Megami Tensei games, watched a friend play Persona 3 Reloaded and it was good, but didn't catch my interest, but did have a very small interest in getting into Fire Emblem and those games might scratching the perma death Rpg itch like Xcom does and the tactical gameplay like Advance Wars. Might watch one of your Fire Emblem playthroughs to see if it's a series I like.
If you enjoy Advance Wars, you'll probably enjoy Fire Emblem. It's by the same company and it's basically Advance Wars if all your units were characters with personality. I got into Fire Emblem through Advance Wars so I know how that feels. Maybe give FE a try if you can, but watching one of my playthoughs sounds good. (I'd personally recommend Path of Radiance or Engage. In Engage, I discuss some plot spoilers from earlier games though.)
Well with this entire vid being focus on the Atlest titles I do want to bring up Unicorn Overlord as i completed that game myself while I need to reload a save to beat it again cause there were 2 bonuses I failed to pay attention to I can talk the new difficulty you unlock when you completed the game. Just want you to keep in mind if you plan to check the game. True Zenorian has already proven to be a brutal difficulty to being with as well as the only difficulty where the permadeath is active(the squad has to be wiped out to count) also item uses have been made limited down to five so this difficulty team synergy is absolutely key in this game which I do want to try and do as I'm trying to do it without recuting Mercs. Again you have to beat the game to unlock the difficulty once no matter the difficulty. Something to keep in mind once you decide to take the plunge. As for any fire emblem focus title's ill salute you if you get past Lunatic (especially on classic) but stay away form Lunatic plus unless you want to deal with enemies that have garentted active attack skills(especially Leathlity) so I don't recommend it for your sanity sake. As for engage I actually have an idea that i wonder you'll be interested in running which is a kingdom favor run. Its where you do a run using only the units the have been recutied/affiliate with the kingdom in question. For example if you were doing a Ferine run everyone who were part of that kingdom are the only ones you can use and this extents to those you recuit as well so those like Anna and Yunaka can be used. But if you were to do say an Elusia run you would be able to still use Anna cause she's originally form Elusia but not Yunaka as she form Brodia and the same sentiment extents if you did a Brodia run you understand. As for progression like if your focus was Solm you would basically drop units in order till you reach the kingdom in question. As for those like Clanne and Framme treat them like wildcards to fufill a free slot. Thats my idea at the least so what do you think.
"I won't go too far in on sidequests, it'll be mostly story-focused." HA, good one Klingy! We all know your completionist tendencies will take over the MOMENT you start playing Xenoblade 2! :3 Not that I'd complain, I freggin love Xenoblade 2. Awakening could be fun! Maaaybe on a difficulty a bit lower than Lunatic+, because who wants to deal with random Counter, Hawkeye, and Rightful God skills?
....Maybe. We'll see. I'll do what Blade Quests I can...... maybe I'll actually get Ursula at a reasonable point this time? (My first playthrough I got her last, probably karma for getting Zenobia 2nd)
0:29 2013? I'm pretty sure you mean 2023, lol. 1:04 That's fair, this game looks amazing, and I can't wait until it's in my hands! 1:36 Please use the checkboard, the transparent background has some contrast issues. 3:01 Yep, I'm almost certain this is... what was it called again, Cyber Demon Story? No, that's not right. Electronic Fiend Tale? No, that doesn't sound right either. Anyway, whatever that game is called, I am hyped (jokes aside, will you be fighting the superboss?)! 3:40 SMTV had a story? 6:52 Yep, those kinds of situations are the worst. 7:10 Personally speaking, what I would do is wait until the June direct, if either an FE4 or 6 remake is announced, play the other one, and if we get nothing, play Thracia. 7:25 Okay, so what? Even if you two have similar styles, I watch your videos for YOU, not the game and not the style (of course, I am speaking only for myself, and I have no knowledge on why other people watch you), and I want to see how YOU would do things. 8:30 Something, something, Kaga did it first. 8:44 But isn't Ced one of your favourite characters? 9:49 Yep... If there's one thing I'll say about that whole situation, it's that we all need a friend like NintendoCapriSun in our lives. 11:26 To be fair, that first stream did have some technical issues, but otherwise, it was really good! 11:32 That's... one way of putting it. Seriously, that last stream was incredible! 12:48 Oh yeah, it does, nice! 14:00 YES PLEASE!!! 14:51 Ooh, that could be fun! 15:28 Oh yeah, her not getting murdered by Mary Sue would be nice.
Interesting enough, there's a mod for Thracia that allows you to do PvP with another person. It have some changes to the game to make the PvP more balance like the enemies are not able to visit the houses at all to prevent like 90% of houses to be visited on turn 1, but also some enemies that are either bosses or simply guards that block the way (guard AI) aren't allow to move as long as the hidden data is set to 2 or 3. There're other changes like the removal of Fog of War and Miracle+ given to civilians and Eyvel but there's too many to list here. Also, some things can cause problem or crash the game when doing PvP like visiting an arena, releasing playable units (seriously, don't do that. Especially to Leif) and more.
Yeah, Thracia! I love seeing what characters people end up using in that game and who gets move level ups. Also, using a map for 24x is a 150% legitimate decision. The Algorithm is pretty much the devil, like the evil incarnation of capitalism itself, so I'd take it with a grain of salt. I don't know much about Crash or Sly Cooper, so I'd be interested in them. I've heard Radiant Dawn is pretty hard to ironman, due to the relatively small number of available units you have at any one point (not to mention chapters you can lose the entire run if anybody dies), but it'd be interesting!
@BigKlingy I think shadow Dragon is fine but new mystery is vastly different in some mechanics mainly star spheres and Marth isn't screwed by the uneeded weapon triangle and 2 Rn it feels like two different games
15:14 This might be a VERY dumb idea for an Awakening run, but what if you hacked 99 Second Seals into the game and did a run where you weren't allowed to use any unit's base class tree? I actually have some predictions as to how certain units would fare. Also, you would definitely need to determine how class trees with overlapping classes as well as prepromotes would be treated. - Henry would be pretty similar in viability, given that Thief and Barbarian are actually class trees that suit him quite well. - Cherche's viability completely tanks. Why were her other class trees Cleric and Troubadour? If I could just hack the game to change around a few class trees, I'd swap one of those out for Cavalier. - Lissa... well, she'd be a good Dark Flier or Valkyrie. No Tomefaire definitely sucks, though. - As someone who's done Assassin Sully in the past, Sully is just fine. - Ricken's viability also completely tanks. - As does Tharja's. - Miriel is completely fine, though. Honestly, depending on how you handle Libra starting off as a War Monk, Miriel might be one of the best magical units in the first generation because Henry, Ricken, and Tharja are all forced to go physical and out of all of those, only Henry can really fare well.
1.40 id definitely say fill in the backgrounds, look at say recarm for example, the background makes it kinda hard to parse so it would certainly help accessibility
The issue of having transparent backgrounds for the skill text is that while it heavily contrasts with the background I find the lack of a solid colour backdrop and how busy the image is makes the text harder to read. I will hazard a guess that the Atlus RPG you are doing a test run of is Digital Devil Saga, If you do V Vengeance I would recommend the hybrid style of using your knowledge of the base game to inform the new one while being blind on the Canon of Vengeance Since I feel it offers a balance of allowing content to be made in a timely manner, it would be on what anyone interested in the game would want to see, the new story content. New demons, new side quests….. Even with the new demons and systems in place it’s not like this is an entirely seperate game, I feel a lot of aspects will carry over, it’s also not like you cannot analyse in real time using that knowledge and apply it to new demons, for an example which is made using release material for one demon U.M.A Hare of Inaba is a strong defensive demon for the mid game due to resisting all regular magic and being immune to Light and Dark, combined with its access to Taunt it can redirect single target attacks that would hurt his allies more, and since he has access to Dustoma he can even dodge tank if he can inflict the enemy with Daze, however due to lacking any affinity for attacking skills he is a mostly passive demon making him not as useful in regular mob fights and due to being a Fusion Accident only demon he is harder to get than most demons. Something funny is that Thracia 776 is your safe option for not getting remade, when 7 years ago they remade Gaiden, another game that lacked popularity amongst the fanbase and was relatively obscure, while the rumours do point towards Genealogy or Binding Blade and I do feel that they are more likely to do that, but remaking Thracia 776 isn’t out of the question. Since I only know Thracia’s plot in broad strokes I shall ask while it is an interquel of Genealogy 2nd Generation how integral would that game be for understanding Thracia 776. I would admittedly like it the most of the options you have, I don’t want to see Conquest especially due to my strained relationship with it, even more than the other routes due to me suffering hype backlash from it, because it’s by far the most well regarded Fates version and I find it just as/even more flawed in a way that effects my enjoyment the same way as other routes. So for the next island in Sonic Frontiers, while I understand why it has the name it has due to the theme they went with, but to me it feels weird to have an island called Chaos Island when we have both the Chaos Emeralds and Chaos as exitstamt conceits in the franchise, with the former not having any more bearing on Chaps Island than kyhrfs Also I should say that the stream made me want to play Sonic Frontiers to completion, albeit not to go out of my way to get it as I already had it but it was the next game I played after that stream. Also something in find funny is depending on what Sonic and Shadow Generations adds it’s very much possible that one of the games with more content in Sonic 06, Since of your talking Shadows personal history he’s only really been important with either a big story role or stages dedicated to him in Adventure 2, Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06 and Forces, Xenoblade 2, since it is one of my favourites it is on the top of the games I would like to see you stream. Since you mentioned going for main story mainly, while admittedly I know it both isn’t going for a completionism angle and when considering time into the equation the game is very very side-quest heavy, But due to Xenoblade 2 linking a fair amount of its characters with its gacha it means it is very much possible that you miss out on a lot of possible options and content you can show and give your opinion on. I don’t think it will have that much effect on actually completing the game though, since it’s not like you don’t have a good amount of options just using ones you get out in guaranteed ways, either through story based Core Crystals that give certain Blades or the DLC Blades, but means that such options as Dagas or Zenobia are nowhere near guaranteed to appear, Also wouldn’t it be funny if one of the first Rare Blades is Ursula, considering how she’s the time stinkiest of Rare Blades considering how her quest line works. While I’m not exactly sure I would call Sly Cooper underrated, Since to me that would imply a game that is better than its players often give credit far, and from what I can tell while it is very well liked by its fan base, it is a series that I do like and hence wouldn’t mind seeing streamed But is a series which has gotten way less over time compared to other Playstation games of a similar genre than something like Ratchet and Clank, Which got a game less on the current generation, while Sly Cooper hasn’t had a game in 11 years and even then that came out 8 years after the last one. Of the Fire Emblem Stream ideas, Awakening by far as I wouldn’t mind if it was fairly standard, it’s my first Fire Emblem game and still has a lot of stuff I like in it. Several characters, story scenes. gameplay, visuals, call backs. A slight issue is that I tend to gushing about things I don’t share similar opinions on to feel awkward and I am pretty much the opposite on Panne, both gameplay wise or character wise.
I highly doubt they'll remake Thracia without Genealogy. Unlike Gaiden, which was self-contained with minor references to Marth's games (which were already localized), Thracia is a midquel that doesn't make much sense without FE4's context. The Gacha is why I want to do Xenoblade 2, actually. It means every playthrough is unique.
Yo, Sorry for not watching your strikers LP. It's just that, After your praise of the game, And a desire to keep hanging out with PT(I'm almost at the end or Royal, Btw), I decided to buy strikers when it will have a discount. So You know, I want to go in blind. Sorry.
I know it's an Atlus heavy year but don't burn yourself out mixing it up with Fire Emblem is great and all but I'd absolutely LOVE for you to do advance wars Dual Strike on the channel
I definitely would not recommend Lunatic+ Awakening streams. Regular Lunatic mode is a difficulty you can potentially have some fun with even if it eventually devolves into a Solo run with Robin, Frederick, Vaike, etc.; Lunatic+ mode is not that.
I may not have even unlocked Lunatic+ yet (you have to beat regular Lunatic, right? I never did that), so there's that. Regular Lunatic might be fine, though I have a feeling things will even out later on. Besides Counter Warriors. I remember old videos of Lunatic+ that were basically like "so if this enemy randomly gets Luna+ you literally can't win."
It has been a while since I commented. Mainly because life happened and I rather not talk about it. I just needed time is all I will say. But to talk about the video. I’m glad you’re enjoying Streaming. It isn’t for everyone but since you find it enjoyable it may be the excuse to get more quote on quote ‘niche’ series. Heck with enough streams you might have more people open to watching them as videos. Otherwise I don’t have much to say since most things I would want to say or speak about requires knowing what comes out the direct. I suspect that Holy War or Binding Blade are the most likely to get remade with Radiance behind. Just with how things are lining up. But it is kind of strange how confident Nintendo is with how their statement was so. We might be getting many things revealed. Just don’t work yourself too hard alright. No one wants you hating what you do, nor burning out. And don’t be like me who spent a whole day letting things build up while recording. I’m just glad that it was only from the last episode of my newly recorded LP. Anyways hope you get everything you are wishing for, and plan out some cool series even if they aren’t my cup of tea. And hopefully RU-vid fixes their algorithm.
When the June Direct is posted "Eveready's great at Your Junes!" I know this is an off the wall question, but since you are a fan of critical role, have you ever considered Games like, Divinity Original sin II or Pathfinder Wraith of the righteous or king maker. Granted Pathfinder has SO MANY difficulty settings it's hard to tell them apart, but I'm in the position that "CORE" is not necessary to enjoy the game, I found normal is decent. Sadly though with PFWTOR, Understanding the Monster blocks are Kind of important. I do think you might enjoy these games even if it's not something you put on your channel. As for Release timing, things are in a odd position this time of year. I will say I have heard a LOT of good things about "thousand year door". As for Sly Cooper, I never had the device to play this game on but I figure based on what others have said it sounded decent. I can't remember if you have missed any of the Ace Attorney, I don't think you did but Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a game in similar spirit and I think you might bring a unique perspective to the game. Well Looking forward to seeing what you go for next.
I tend not to like western RPGs, sorry. I've seen footage of Baldur's Gate 3 and it's probably not my thing. Unfortunately those games are better played blind and I've already played Rain Code in full. You can hear my thoughts in the 2023 game reviews video.
I'm sure you probably already know, but the PS3 ports of the Sly collection can be... unstable. Emulating it at original resolution might be the best way to go. PCSX2 has come a LONG way in the past few years. Also I would love to see you stream Crash 1. While I know you generally like to show games as they are intended for release, there are patches out there for Crash 1 and 4 which can make completion much more fair. Although the Crash 4 N.Hanced mod has sorta developed into it's own experience, but the Crash 1 Quality of Life patch keeps all the level design intact, and makes it so you would have to waste a lot less time if you die, which would make it better for streaming.
Yeah I'm almost certainly going to emulate. Also because I don't want to re-buy a game I already own physically. I'd be playing Crash 1 via the N-Sane Trilogy, which doesn't force you to do all the levels without dying. Only the coloured gem ones.
1:25 The transparent background is making it harder to read the text, like the purple and green don't mesh well with the white text for me. 7:12 This would be a great run, but if you plan on recruiting every character... oof. 15:47 I don't think Lunatic+ will be a good mode to stream because IIRC it is required to reset many times in the early chapters to get enemies with the right skills. For FE stream ideas, a draft run could be interesting as you might be forced to use units you may not have used before. Obvious problem with this one is you'd need to do a draft with other people.
Omg Jack Bros. LP confirmed! JK I'm pretty sure it's Digital Devil Saga. That and Nocturne really deserve the informative LP treatment On the note of LPers having dead comment sections, I've noticed you've been pretty good at replying to comments. Most RU-vidrs I've watched don't engage with their audience as much as you do, which probably has to do with their sheer size. But I think the fact that you have a habit of really engaging with your viewers make us more inclined to comment. I also agree with your note on the stream chat size. A lot of streamers have wayy too big an audience to even bother engaging with, which detracts from one of the main points of streaming Also BIGKLINGY'S DOING SLY WOOOOO! I mean uhm, neat, that is definitely a series that deserves more love. I have the whole series (except Bentley's Hackpack) on every console it's on, even the Vita. Sly 2 is probably the game I've replayed the most times, next to Ratchet and Clank 3
Yeah I think that might be why too. A lot of other creators generally stayed hands-off with their comments. Sly 2 is my favourite of the trilogy and it's how I started with it. I'm considering starting the streams there due to that, it already explains what you need to about the first story... although you need knowledge of both stories for 3. 1 is just so different from the later ones, gameplay-wise.
@@BigKlingy Figured I'd just write this here: I'm probably not the only one who's suggested this, but with the recent release of Sly 1 under the Playstation classics for PS4/PS5, this could be the perfect opportunity to start with Sly 1 and just do them chronologically
I have been thinking off attempting Tellius runs of sorts myself recently once I get a new setup going, I have had a mounts only run in the backburner to do for RD ever since I've thought about it in 2021 but unfortunately near the end of last year, I ended up losing a lot of GC/Wii saves lets say and with it a Jill I had planed to transfer to help with the DB chapters, so to possibly help with that get back on track, I have been thinking a PoR Iron Man where Jill would very likely be one of the investment targets, plus I really feel like I have the early game really down pat on what to do at this point.
6:26 Doesn't sound like a problem to me. 8:28 My opinion is that Route splits aren't inherently bad, but they've been implemented worse in recent years. Sacred Stones and Blazing Sword are examples of good route splits: it's mostly the same story, but the dynamics between certain characters are more fleshed out on the different routes. Ex: Lyon on Eirika's Route vs Lyon on Ephraim's Route and Hector Mode Hector vs Eliwood Mode Hector. I also applaud the way Sacred Stones did the Route Split in particular--having the party you didn't choose be offscreen for a while adds to the replay value without forcing the writers to write a completely new story. And (this is a bit off topic) while Ephraim Route Lyon is better written, I still think Eirika's Ending is less tragic. 9:45 I need to say this: I think that whole drama was a waste of time. It would have been better if they had resolved things privately (which he thought they did). Everyone involved would be in a better place if that hadn't happened. And while I don't hate the idea of that man retiring (everyone's got to sometime), I DO hate the idea of him retiring *like this.* It hits a little close to home--my favorite high school teacher was forced to retire after an incident started by a student calling him derogatory Vietnam Veteran names and throwing erasers at him. In both cases I think to myself: why would ANYONE do that to someone so nice--so dedicated to spreading positivity over negativity at every opportunity!? I don't like that someone goes out in such a negative way, and he was so close to the big 5-0 too! He was TRYING to better himself too, no thanks to the American Heath System, which is more than most people with flaws can say! Even if he retires permanently, I'd still like to hear from him occasionally on Twitter, just to know he's okay and doing well. 10:18 Great artists are not always appreciated in their time. Also see my other comment. 10:36 I actually did watch both. I was interested to see what was included and what was omitted. 13:07 I have never been more excited for a Sonic game rereleasing on a Nintendo console! 15:02 You really don't need to torture yourself with Radiant Dawn Hard Mode. 15:24 Speaking of which, did you check if you downloaded Apotheosis before the E-shop went down?
8:28 Sacred Stones is my favourite route split so far. Helps that it's in a shorter game, so playing all routes isn't as draining. 9:45 The biggest takeaway from it all was the confirmation he and Masae were indeed dating and were even engaged. I appreciate them wanting to keep it private, although knowing about it explains a LOT looking back. Especially how depressed he was in 2021, which would coincide with the breakup. I'm glad they're both in happier relationships now. 13:07 Hopefully it runs well, I avoided Frontiers on Switch because I heard bad things. 15:24 I'm terrified to. I guess I'll check.
@@BigKlingy 9:45 There was a video about an event years ago (possibly Thrown Controllers?) during a Q and A where a kid in the audience asked, "Chuggaa, are you dating Me-say?" Chuggaa responded with a shocked "Oh-ho..." and Jon (in a chicken suit) basically yelled, "Hey, look! A distraction!" I can't find that video anymore, but that was the point where I figured out that they were probably secretly dating. Turns out I was right.
Definitely the Checkerboard one. Shame I missed the last two live streams, but I was on vacation. I've been playing Dual Destinies recently, and The Monstrous Turnabout is probably the most boring case I've ever dealt with. I don't like any of the characters (aside from the Tenmas and they're more mid than anything else) and this includes Blackquill. I really hope he's one of those characters who gets better later. I eventually got so bored that I just turned on auto mode and let the game play in the background while I watched something else, only using a guide to present evidence when the game calls for it. I had a lot of fun with The Great Ace Attorney, but found the Apollo Justice Trilogy comparatively boring in terms of the overall experience and I've wondered why that is. I did come up with a few possible explanations. Firstly is that you don't get the ability to quickly advance the text until you've seen each line before, which overall drastically drags down the pacing. Secondly is the matter of the prosecutors. I have nothing bad to say about Gavin and I especially love how he's just genuinely a nice guy who wants to know the truth. Right now I'm still hoping Blackquill gets better. But I've heard very bad things about SOJ's prosecutor Sad Monk. I think the main issue for me is their physical abuse of the defense attorney, which is glossed over and treated as just a silly gag. I don't think it's a coincidence that my favourite prosecutors are Edgeworth, Gavin and Van Zieks, three men who never engage in such behavior. I get more enjoyment out of the Kodaka murder mysteries, and I think there's a few reasons for that. I will admit that I'm the kind of person who likes the really graphic stuff and can't wait until they show you the body in murder mysteries. The more psycho pop aesthetic compared to AA's more grounded tone also does it for me. And I think I don't find Monokuma and the Peace Keepers' antics nearly as infuriating as the physically abusive prosecutors is due to the fact that what they're doing isn't treated as normal behaviour. but rather a part of how inherently unfair the Killing Games and Kanai Ward are. Like, I found it funny how in RC's Chapter 2 Yuma immediately presents Martina with evidence proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Kurumi couldn't have committed the crime, only for her to point out that she's corrupt and flat out enjoys abusing her power. Though on a related note, what do you think the next AA game would even be?
It's important to note that Dual Destinies and SoJ were written by Yamazaki, not Shu Takumi, who did the original trilogy, Apollo Justice 1, the Layton crossover, and GAA. That probably explains the difference in feel. Yamazaki's games are an acquired taste (I think Investigations 2 is his best, you'll need a fan patch for that), but I will say Monstrous is generally regarded as the low point of Dual Destinies (and most agree with you: the characters besides the Tenmas aren't good. I was surprised at how much I liked Damien by the end though.), so things MIGHT improve from here. The Kodaka thing is very much "to each their own". I've always preferred how, in spite of its cartoonishness, Ace Attorney portrayed corrupt justice systems/power figures in a more grounded way. (e.g compare Damon Gant to Yomi Hellsmile. Both in similar positions, both similarly villainous, but HUGELY different.) The problem I ultimately had with Rain Code was the Peacekeepers weren't the ultimate antagonists in the end, with Yomi being dealt with in Case 4 without much of your input. He was so blatantly evil that him being the Case 5 culprit wouldn't have worked (too obvious), but... still. It felt like that aspect was swept under the rug in favour of the typical Kodaka climax: "there's a SHOCKING HIDDEN TRUTH about the world you're in" and it's usually something insane like "it's all a simulation, it's all a post-apocalypse, everyone's memories are fake" etc. And also, the forced killing of the culprits, even by the heroes, always felt off-putting to me about Kodaka's games. Again, to each their own, but I'm more an Ace Attorney guy, even for the weaker ones. I still enjoyed Rain Code more than DR.
I would be absolutely hyped if you did something with SMT V Vengeance. It’s the game I’m most excited about this year as someone who started the MegaTen series with the vanilla version. Fire Emblem content would also be cool, and I’d love to see Sly Cooper playthroughs after you hyped it up so much in your P5 series. That said, I think you’d easily be able to make any game you play interesting. It’s strangely hilarious that you’re voicing issues with the RU-vid algorithm immediately after finishing P5S, given that game’s themes. They’re entirely justified, I think everyone is aware by now what a weirdly incompetent platform RU-vid has become
Thanks, and I'm seeing quite a bit of interest in Sly here. But nice to see Vengeance interest too. I wouldn't say it's incompetent. Trends have just changed, and YT needs money so they funnel everyone to what's popular.
9:48 hey, speaking of that, did you ever see that person's final words on the subject? They said something "recently" (probably close to a month ago) and it gave me a lot of closure on the topic. I know you've said you were never a giga fan of that person,but I was wondering if you felt similarly Side note: dude I've also been super nostalgic for Awakening too!!! I've just been wanting to revisit it, it's been probably 10 years since I've played it
I have. My overall thoughts were it was a bad situation with a bunch of flawed people on all sides and it shouldn't have blown up like it did, especially since he was already getting help. Very relieved the underaged thing wasn't as bad as it looked, though. Also really sad that he was actually dating Masae for 10 years and engaged but it broken down. (Which explains a LOT, looking back. Him being uncharacteristically depressed in Xenoblade 2's endings, and making all those statements against shipping real people in Splatoon 2)
10:28 Counterpoint: those who watched the whole stream live wouldn't need to watch it because that would be redundant. Therefore that video's ratings via the algorithm are falsely deflated.
What are your thoughts on Pokemon Conquest? I've heard it's pretty much FE but with a Pokemon themed skin and I'm curious if you would cover it at all on the channel.
Probably the only one here, but maybe someday you'd be willing to make a Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Playthrough? It's a game I like very much and I recall that you like it too (unless I'm mistaken, in which case oops, sorry for assuming!).
I'd considered it a long time ago, but at the time the massive and imo way overblown backlash to the "censorship" turned me off. I do like it, but more JRPGs have come out since that I enjoy more. It's something I could do one day though.
I hope I can complete persona reload before smt 5 vengeance. Mostly likely not. Again I have a lot of game I wanted to play like subnarcica, Yakuza 0 and the series in general. Thankful I would take summer break from college. Because the class I wanted are not available despite being the best wheater for them(which are biology and environment science). Thairca 776 would be nice because that one that has a lot of guide dang it and can be punishing if don't know how it work(like smt noctunre) 7:53 hey look it KING OF SKILL(BRENT) Also it sad how RU-vid is pushing Livestream and video essay(despite them being a mix bag if you ask me) and push aside typical let's plays
13:26 I litteraly started playing Xenoblade 3(as my first xeno game) like a month ago and I blazed through it and I am now playinh Xenoblade 2(on the first Zeke fight), if you stream this game I will die
I've seen your videos about persona 4 golden teammates and arcanas. They were great, is there a chance You'll do the same for persona 3 portable / fes? (i know You are doing reload first, maybe in the future please?)
Oof, I am behind on the New Game + stuff. 0:30 2013, huh? That long since you had a good year? XD Wondered if there would be any chance of Berwick Saga.
