Why I LOVE RPGs 

Trying a little something different today, gamers! So I hope you still enjoy. And if you don't I'm actually just gonna cry for 21 minutes and 5 seconds

FINAL FANTASY 16 MENTIONED 🗣 FINAL FANTASY IN GENERAL MENTIONED 🗣 XENOBLADE MENTIONED 🗣 LIKE A DRAGON MENTIONED 🗣 POKEMON MENTIONED 🗣 SMT MENTIONED 🗣 FIRE EMBLEM MENTIONED 🗣 KINGDOM HEARTS MENTIONED 🗣 UNICORN OVERLORD MENTIONED 🗣 How much more based can a single video get?????!!!!!!

SMT IV is actually so goated. i would love a port of that

Please make more of this stuff, don’t be afraid people won’t stick around because it’s not just yakuza, I fw this a lot

I adore during the Yakuza Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth section, you expertly describe why the grind is fun and amazing in RPGs, without using the word "grinding".

Crafting builds is fun, I have 300 hours in infinite wealth and still trying out new silly builds to play

I always really love videos like these. A good clean retrospective on someone's tastes in a game and it's funny because my experiences with RPGs are somewhat similar. Used to find them boring with the exception of the early Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi games, but after playing one of the early FFs I saw the vision a bit but then I played Persona 3 on the PS2, enjoyed it quite a bit and finally the OG release of Persona 5 happened alongside NieR Automata and it was over. Now it is one of my favorite genres and definitely some of my all time favorites games are RPGs. It's always the journey with a party or few set of characters that does it for me.

First off...respect to Tokyo Mirage Sessions but secondly, the fact that the 3DS version of Xenoblade was your introduction to it and it still had such an impact is a testament to how incredible the total package is. That port is a fucking miracle I'm playing it now out of curiosity and even after playing DE on Switch, even with scaled down Wii graphics, it's still full on Xenoblade Chronicles on a fucking 3DS and I can't get over it.

this thumbnail got an elite lineup

I love RPG's but have somehow never played much of final fantasy, except a tiny bit of 1. I really should get around to play it. Also would love to see more RPG videos from you, this video already gave me some new games to try out.

been obsessed with marvel midnight sons and persona 3 so agreed.

I've been binging your youtube videos recently and I can't say there's a youtuber I find myself relating more too. My favorite games of all time are Xenoblade 3, Persona 3, Yakuza 0, Lost Judgement, Fire emblem echoes and Final Fantasy 16. Keep up the content man it's literally peak. And speaking of FF16 I'm so excited to replay it on PC I've already replayed the demo like 10 times

This video reminds me of my personal experience. I didn't see video games until I went to university, and the first one that was shown to me was Final Fantasy X. I only saw gameplay, so when I got the game myself, that opening scene and music was a brand new experience. I loved that so much that Zanarkand was the first track that I bought when I got my first iPod, and I would play it an average 4k times per year. I now have a fan-created track which plays that theme without breaks for an hour.

I don't like most JRPGs but your love letter made me rethink my opinions on them ... eventually maybe I'll take the leap but for now, thanks for the content bro, and hope you'll try out even more new things in the future ! Even if Yakuza is my favourite series ever I don't want to see its best content creator fall into a slump ! enjoy yourself king ! the people will follow if you do !

amazing video. I recently started playing thru the trails series and all the stuff you talked abt in this perfectly described how ive been feeling abt trails and other rpgs i love Keep up the great content, youve become one of my favorite youtubers in the past year since i discovered the channel

I absolutely love the Kingdom Hearts series, especially the Music, I think Yoko Shimomura might have done an even better job with those games than she did with Xenoblade and Final Fantasy XV.

Loved the video! Please try Vanillaware's previous game (before Unicorn Overlord): 13 Sentinels may not be an RPG but it's story SLAPS. Oh and give Crosscode a shot! It may be an indie game but it's still great enough to be my favorite action rpg. It has heaps of stuff to do, has a very touching story and all the way the action-packed combat will keep you totally engaged. The dungeon puzzles are great, the dlc is amazing and you can easily clock in 60 hours just on your first playthrough of the base game because of how much fun stuff there is to do!

More than anything else I'll just never get tired of the feeling of going on a massive journey, most games tend to focus on the most bombastic stuff with very little downtime but rpgs are really hellbent on making you experience each step of the journey no matter how small or trivial, things like really having to live through (almost) every day of a full year in persona 3 4 and 5 is at least to me what makes their climactic moments and endings so impactful for instance

Props for having Noctis in the thumbnail

if you haven't yet, then you gotta play crosscode because the game is absolutely amazing. im on a jrpg binge and I'm playing a lot of them right now, but crosscode easily became one of my favorite games in general

Thank you for mentioning the greatness that is Fire Emblem Echoes! Playing that game as my first TRPGs was a blast and it probably ignited my love for the genre

crazy how even though i have no interest in turn-based rpgs, i've put hundreds of hours in yakuza 7 and infinite wealth combined and loved every second of it. just goes to show how insanely good yakuza games are. also based stranger of paradise enjoyer

the day somebody makes an rpg that snowiestangeman disapproves of, it’s probably bad

Immensely based to see someone else who got into Xenoblade through the 3DS port

My man has some of the best taste in videogames wtf

xenoblade, fire emblem, and the RGG games are also one of my favorite RPG series I’ve ever played, i’m glad we both share these opinions. I highly recommend the nier/drakengard series if you haven’t played them. My legit top series that flip flop on spots for number 1, are either xenoblade or nier series

My first FF was 13, a lot of people hate it but in spite of all the criticism the game gets I love it to this day. Very thankful for that game for getting me in to FF and the JRPG genre as a whole. (Please SE remaster the 13 trilogy)

Me likey when number go up :D But seriously I love RPGs. Shoutout to the Golden Sun games for sparking that love in me.

I also love rpgs (rocket propelled grenades)

FF difficulty is the real mode of XVI. I love it.

Its so lame this videos not getting views this is fire

“I started with Tokyo Mirage Sessions” Me; a giant FE and Persona fan: LETS FUCKING GOOOO!!

groob speedrun

Would love to see more videos like these, Your Yakuza/LAD Videos are already really fun to watch so seeing you talk about other stuff you enjoy would def be cool. Looking at the comments, It seems like others are suggesting games so I'll do the same here. I suggest playing Library of Ruina. I'm not exactly good at explaining things so I'll make this as brief as I can: It's an indie deckbuilder RPG and the Second Game Project Moon has worked on. (South Korean Game Studio. Their first game was Lobotomy Corporation but I'm not sure if that's up your alley so I'll refrain from talking about that. If you're interested in lobcorp though I suggest you start there then play Ruina since a majority of the main cast were a part of lobcorp's main cast) It's a pretty difficult game but also quite customisable, Has a pretty good soundtrack and an interesting world. Though the early segments of the game are somewhat of a slog, It picks up during the middle and really pops off late-game. You can also start with Limbus Company, Which has a completely different cast and requires a lot less knowledge from lobcorp in order to understand. But the gameplay is more simplified and it's a gacha, Which I don't know if you're okay with (It is quite generous towards F2Ps from what I've heard. Idk this is the only gacha I've ever played)

Loved this video, hope you do more like it !!!

i think it’s really lovely to hear you talk about things you love! i hope you continue to make videos about stuff you find interesting regardless of subject. (｀ω´ )👍

Awesome video, I share a similar RPG journey like you.

Bald Gay 3 Mentioned 🗣

RPG's certainly have a lot of replay value from just the sheer amount of options they give you to build your character/team. Of course there are games with barely any strategy and gear choices just boil down to equipping the one with the bigger numbers (Yakuza 7), but the ones were choice matters are way more interesting. There's even a few games that take the "roleplay" part of Roleplaying games seriously and lets you create a character with all sorts of quirks you can play around. e.g. Any rpg with a wide variety of food, letting you play as a vegetarian if you want. There's no reason to only eat veggies, but food is superflous anyway and is just there to fill your "hunger" meter so pick whatever you want to eat and pretend it's because of your backstory. It's fine. Also pokemon is the best turn based RPG for the simple fact that you can disable attack animations and set text speed to fast. WHY DON'T MORE GAMES DO THIS? THERE'S ONLY SO MANY TIMES I CAN WATCH THE SAME ANIMATION PLAY BEFORE IT STOPS BEING COOL AND IS JUST WASTING MY TIME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Other than that, fun game genre

Snowiest SMT V Vengeance stream feat. Joon gi han when? Edit: i looked into the live section and there it was? How in kanrai's name did you do that?

Rambling thoughts on the great vid. Yeah BG3 kinda sucks, I love RPGs, but that game is something else. I literally end each fight with everyone at 3hp because they keep missing attacks. While FF12 has its shining moments, specifically the stories and voice work of the main cast, especially Ashe and Basch. I do say that FF10 is the better game of the era on all fronts except side content, and you should definitely give it a try the next time you get the FF itch. FF15 is like crack I don't get it, but to me its only redeeming quality is the party which is S-tier and yet to be topped, yet when I play it I can go for hours on end, I even spent an entire weekend in college doing nothing but play that game when I first started. Yeah SMT series is phenomenal and really great for when you want heavy themes that FF or Pokemon can't deliver. The sheer oppressive atmosphere Strange Journey delivers with its zones and orchestral ost is brillant. I would recommend the "Tales Of" series starting with Tales of Symphonia with its blend of RPG progression and action combat which allow you to chain together special attacks off a basic attack string. I would love the inverse of this video talking about the shortcomings of RPGs which show how this type of game needs thought and can't rest on their laurels without harming the experience as some claim that RPGs are cheaply made and have no creativity to them. For example Dragon Quest 11 is phenomenal on all aspects, but 90 hours in I'm only at the end of act 2 (of 3), yet my gameplan in combat hasn't progressed in 20-30 hours leading to extreme stagnation of repeating the same 4-6 moves each fight really discouring me.

This shit is crazy to see you talk about Echoes, two days ago I finally beat Duma after two years of sitting on the game because it was absolutely kicking my ass Fucking awesome game tho

leaving a comment in support of great taste in video games

Oh I see now. Was wondering why you wouldn't make videos on any other franchises. Especially your opinion on KH would be interesting for me but if you didn't touch the lesser known titles like CoM or BBS then I guess it makes sense that making videos on them wouldn't be a high priority. Maybe a better look into the other franchises though? FF16 in depth would be awesome.

Brudda, you need to try Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It is a bit dated, but it is my favorite rpg of all time. (Also what is your rank in r6?)

At this point I just watch your RU-vid videos about the Star Wars shows. Get that bag Jeremy

Very based video and I do enjoy content like this too. Besides gameplay and story, I always love the characters, journey and exploration that rpgs provide.

i fw u heavy

I have only played a small bit of the Mario and Luigi's, most of the first and a bit of the second paper mario's, finished entirely both of the like a dragons What RPG should I play next, I'm interested in persona and I may play it but what else should I try too? (Please snowy reply to this thanks :) )

Oh wow I’m here 6 minutes after it gets posted, chat I made it

Have you played Ultrakill?

I'm curious. Have you tried Dragon Quest at all?

Why do I love rpgs? They're cool I guess...

Based Video

The only bad part of ffxvi is the side content. The game itself is peak but doing all the side content made me very very sad

BasedAngeman

bruh i literally just finished SMT4A in preparation of 5V right as this vid came out so you are giga based for this video (and also Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 a month ago they are Heat,play them if you havent)

Lmfao I guessed your first smt game correctly (it was my first too)

I'd argue that though Y:LAD is not a great RPG, the positioning-based gameplay in infinite wealth makes it RPG gameplay that isn't offered anywhere else.

I'm gonna be completely honest, RPG's are one of my least favorite genres in gaming, simply because they are just too time-consuming and grindy, as well as just being overall repetitive, but there are very few RPG's i have a soft spot for, most obvious example being LAD

I love RPGs... For roleplay. Which is why I don't see JRPGs as THE RPGs. I still love them, but they are not RPGs to me, they only have advancement mechanics. Plus, I don't cate about combat, to me it's always the least interesting aspect if not outrighted hated, as I prefer overcoming things with diplomacy, presence or underhanded tactics, combatting as a last reasort. Also, funny to see such love for 16 right after I've watched Tony4You's really biased take on modern JRPGs and his disdain for 16, kek. I do wish I could understand the love for Fire Emblem and such, because I kind of hate Fire Emblem and anything like it repulses me. Hate the aesthetics, stories, gameplay, everything... The only thing like it I enjoyed were Covenant of Plume (the only Valkyrie Profile game I enjoy) and Majin Tensei of MegaTen. It may relate to my disdain for grand stories of kingmaking, warfare and such, I don't even enjoy Save the World as it's too big and grand for me, unless it came in later in the story and even then more often than not it makes me annoyed and sad, but there are exceptions like FFIX where saving the world was the lategame thing and it was tied directly to your nemesis which ruined lives of everyone throughout the early game. Same goes for FFVI, which was made by the same team, so no wonder. I have weird tastes, but that's how I roll.

I really liked xenoblade 1 but god the grinding got way too tedious at the end

Japanese games has good music

W video

"Don't care about baldur's gate 3," man it sucks that all of your opinions were invalidated right at the end.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions Mentioned 🎦 This Video Is Peak Cinema 🎦 ✋ 🙂 🤚

I think you play Baldur’s gate 3

3 views, fell off smh

I HATE RPGS!!!!!

XENOBLADE X MENTIONED WHAT THE FUCK IS A FINISHED, CLIFFHANGER-LESS STORY!! 💯 🗣🗣

I've always loved RPGs for the "hero saves the world with his friends" aspect lol, I just like the main character being a good person and helping the people they meet along the way. Ichiban was like a realization of what I loved most about this kinda thing, and Y7 was my first yakuza game, pretty fair to say that game changed my life (i have yakuza brainrot 😔)

Please speak of more Games not only Yakuza ones (even they they are bangers and I played them all) but seeing you talk about other games seemed so refreshing for me and such a great experience to see you glaze and talk about something you love ❤️❤️ great vid

We support your content whether it's Yakuza or not. You are why I watch your content. You're entertaining and funny.

The longer the video plays the nerdier SnowiestAngeman sounds. Not bad tho 10/10 youtuber.

Because RPG is very effective at taking out enemy vehicle from long distance? Oh, different kind of RPG

I have no idea why yagami exploding is such a classic meme of yours, but it is very funny

I like rpg because they are low maintenance on the brain. I don't want to do something by myself... I want the game to tell me DO THIS ATTACK THIS + big world to explore

as a guy who was an RPG fan before a yakuza fan, this is Good Video

If you haven’t, one JRPG I’d recommend is the trails series. There’s 10 games currently (11th coming out in 2 weeks) and they have probably the biggest story I’ve ever seen, with all 10 games being direct sequels and interconnected. I’ve also felt they share a few similarities with like a dragon, in terms of how the world characters, and even some themes are written!

FIRST VIEW AND FIRST COMMENT!!

Try Wild Arms Wild Arms is my favorite JRPG series next to Ys and Dragon Quest

We need a full playlist of all of snowiest’s songs

Fire Emblem games are really good at making you feel pretty fuckin epic by the time it's time to fight the final guy.

I love RPGs especially ones like Unicorn overlord and FF7 on my series X

Surprising to see no trails games on there. You seem to love jrpgs so trails is a must play. It's a big overarching narrative with every game contributing to a grander story. the character writing is off the walls good and the worldbuilding is insane as every game matters to the greater narrative and has characters from previous games play an actual real role in the world and story even after their arc has concluded. It's also got an interesting setting which is a mix of your standard fantasy world with the industrial revolution and technological advancements. The music is also crazy good. A few tracks I recommend giving a listen are "sophisticated fight, "silver will" and "pinch" The place to start is trails in the sky games specifically trails in the sky fc if you are interested. I highly recommend at least giving it a look because it seems like something you would love.

Great video, made me relive some good memories. Out of all the games here though I've never touched Kingdom Hearts

helloooooooooooo

Let's go a video talking SMT, Persona, and Fire Emblem! I was hoping for this when i knew you used SMTiV music

i got into rpgs bc i thought octopath looked cool and that got me into judgment bc greg chun voiced my fav character in octopath and judgment obviously got me into yakuza. and i also got into so many rpgs like bravely default, triangle strategy, dragon quest, xenoblade, fire emblem, etc

LaD 7 got me enjoying RPGs which led me to play Persona 3 Reloaded and LaD 8 which I also loved! Can't wait to try this out all these other franchises

Mario and Luigi Bowsers inside story was my first RPG, if that even really counts. Then Yakuza went turn based and I was like "eehhhhhh." But it shortly turned into one of my favorite games of all time. Also on the topic of banger game music, may I recommend the Ridge Racer series? Paris from Ridge Racer 5 is incredible.

Do you really love RPGs, if you prefer "JRPGs" over Western ones?

based unicorn overlord and fe echoes enjoyer, 10/10 ridiculously good taste holy shit

I appreciated this video and enjoy it a lot! Hope you keep making different types of content.

yo you should do a pokemon review that would be sick

More videos like these, man

RU-vid might not be kind to this video, but I really loved hearing you talk about non RGG games you like a lot

you play unicorn overlord for the strategy; i play because rosalinde is hot. we are not the same

I don't want to admit it since there are many I dislike about rpgs as a genre yet many of my favorite games ever are rpgs so rpg is my favorite genre for that but metroidvania is my beloved genre that I can't hate anything about but only one game of them is in my top 5
