I think a lot of people also want a remake of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. But a Shining Force Remake is definitely on the top list.

It was an amazing game if I could ever figure out how to play scenario 2 and 3 in English I would love it more.

I'm not sure about the Master System version, but upgrading the shield in the arcade version actually reduces the pushback from getting hit by projectiles and even enemies.

I always thought it was weird this was based on an arcade game, it’s so non arcade like aside from the timer

Don't forget to hug a cat y'all!

I did a Wonder Boy marathon a year ago, where I beat all Wonder Boy and Monster World games (well, one version of each mainline entry - three Master System games, three Genesis games and Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom on Steam). Those platforms in the final dungeon were by far the hardest part of the marathon, and probably worst as well. Either way, I still love the game.

Wow! You and one other person I know are the only 2 people that had master systems! 😜

"I had a Sega Master System." I see you too were a man of culture. 🧐 To answer the question in the title, it was perfect. Like, Homelander meme perfect. This was one of those games I got up after everyone went to bed and played all night with the sound off, making maps out of graph paper. I played this game so much, I can probably do it blindfolded. You can't begin to imagine the physical reaction I had when the Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap remake launched. I'm pretty sure everything in my life got significantly less satisfying after that moment. This video absolutely made my day. Thank you, Richard. Keep doing these Wonder Boy videos, or else I'll tie you to a chair and force you to beat Miracle Warriors.

"but richard this isn't an rpg" "just wait until i review rockin' kats"

PSIII also comes off as unfinished. A year more development and it might have been much better. Also, the tech system is bad. The idea behind Generations is really good, but the execution is not.

Shining Force 2 was the best. This game was too far out of the style of 2.

Grand edition is the better of the 2 PS1 games as it allows you to see the full story with great anime style cutscenes, PS: You can play as Esgares too!

Cannot imagine Suikoden being shorter than Chrono Trigger which is very short! It took me MUCH longer to complete Suikoden than CT.

Up to jump, baybeeeee!

As for the fan translation "feeling" like Working Designs, well, that was the point. Our group was/is (no longer there) called "Dynamic-Designs" and we were fans of WD. The script writer really favored WD writing style so we let WildBill sort of... run wild. 🤠

Dang. I left something untranslated at the 29:36 mark! 🤯 How did I miss that??

Ys was originally meant to be pronounced wise, but we messed it up.

IF YOU ARE A COMPLETIONIST AVOID THIS GAME BUT IF U ARE A CASUAL GAMER AND A SUIKODEN FAN ITS OKAY, IVE PUT IN 160HOURS, THE LOADING SAVE SCUM IS FUCKING HORRIBLE, JUST TRYING TO WAIT FOR THE RARE FINDS RECIPE, RNG JESUS IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE IN THIS GAME, EGGFOOT RACE AND CARD GAME IS TOLERABLE IF YOU HAVE THE PATIENCE LIKE 30-50 HOURS TO GET THE TROPHY BUT THE TREASURE HUNTER TROPHY AND RECIPE HUNTING IS FUCKING HORRIBLE AND SOMETIMES BUG JUST WAIT FOR THE GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE PATCH IF THEY REALLY CARE.

No way is Shining force longer than Suikoden!

Not only did the Shining Force 1 and 2 artist pass away, but also the artist that did Shining Force Gaiden and 3, who was also the artist behind Golden Sun. Golden Sun, by the way, was my introduction to JRPGs (Besides Pokémon Red) so making my way back to games like Alundra or Shining Force and finding any kind of similarity, even something so minor and random as the icon based menus or the presence of healing herbs over potions was sort of surreal

Working Designs even made the intro unskippable. WD are villains!

Yeah even ignoring Adventure Island and other reskins, chaos is a good word to describe the series i guess, organization. Its all good stuff though. Favorites are Monster Lair, Og Wonder Boy and its remake and Monster World IV/Asha in Monster World

I love the Wild Arms series, but in particular, Wild Arms 3 rules. I hope you'll take a look at it at some point. I'm typically not a Western fan (despite living in Texas almost 20 years), but I dig that game and it's great use of cell shading.

I need to replay Suikoden I remember it taking forever as a kid.

Short RPG kings and queens

8:43 Hey, look, he said it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. I really like the pre war scenes where the characters talk about their future plans, but it's sort of an awkward conversation, because none of them know if they will make it. The music was phenomenal, especially one of the final tracks. Really moved me!

Neutopia soundtrack ia so good

What are your favourite short RPGs?

played for 200 hours but damn, that modern translation.

Picked up this game as a kid on sale for 20 bucks at the local game store after school. Took it home and lost myself in it. Played all 3 story arcs and got all 5 endings multiple time. Figured out how to dominate the sharkings by manipulating the A.P. and using gang tactics. Figured out how to level up the X.P. to get really high results when dodging. I can actually get through the late levels without taking a single casualty. I actually tracked down the official working designs strategy guide which I still own and is still in near mint condition with the stickers in the back intact. Even wrote some of my own fan fiction based on the world of Eptina. It's a weird guilty to pleasure to have but I personally LOVE this game. It was the first RTS game I ever owned I actually played for the first on the PS2. I never owned a PS1. Thanks for doing something to keep the game relevant even if only to an obscure capacity.

No mention of Warsong?

Dark Wizard was awesome.

The gold and experience in Vay along with everything else was perfect i thought. What a super fun game to clear while the music keeps your grind motivated 🎉🎉🎉

I am kind of glad I didn't buy this game now. I know Suikoden has some minigames that could annoy me, but at least those minigames are simple enough and easy to just get through to get new characters. I am in the bracket of people who despise minigames, because I can not be bothered to learn them to do side activities when I could just skip them. A big reason why I never played any final fantasy games. Especially 7. It has too many minigames in the story and I don't know how much I'm allowed to screw up in order to just continue the story and get past it. I do like fishing in my RPGs, but only if it's doable without breaking your hands. Ys 8 comes to mind. I did catch all of the fishies even though they literally almost broke my hands. But yeah, I miss OG Suikoden. I don't think Eyiuden is bad, but I just hate minigames too much. I want the option to skip it. Gonna play more Trails now.

Eiyuden Chronicle is a remarkable game crafted with evident passion. I've invested over 120 hours into it, and I'm impressed by the quality achieved despite budget constraints. The graphics stand out as some of the most beautiful in the current generation. The mini-games are engaging, particularly the card battles, which consumed 20 hours of my playtime alone. The difficulty strikes a good balance - challenging enough to require thought but not insurmountable. However, the one-on-one battles prove exceptionally difficult due to the need for precise button choices based on less transparent opponent dialogue cues, unlike in Suikoden. In contrast, the army battles are relatively easy, likely due to their scripted nature, especially the final confrontation where many enemy units defect to your side. Overall, Eiyuden Chronicle offers a deep, enjoyable experience that surpasses expectations given its development limitations. Thank you, Murayama-san and the team at Rabbit & Bear Studios.

i played for 30 seconds on the switch and had to stop cause performance issues were just that bad

Never played suikoden but this game is my GOTY i hope octophat or retro game using this kind of artstyle

Oh boy, rare footage of Suikoden Card Stories.

I'll play this when the DLCs are completed

Actually, whenever I will say something about what I'm going to do next in Eiyuden my mouth automatically says SUIKODEN

God damn it Richard! (Nice video!)

I loved this game it was fun had its issues but overall I was very glad I got this game and it’s a worthy successor. I was not completing the mini games though. I had no crashes or dealt with any bugs.

Thank goddess i don't care for 100%ing or Achievements / Trophies , lol.

My third playthrough of Shining Force 1 somehow had Arthur nearly on par with the other knights BEFORE the massive stat gains kicked in. I have no idea how but that was an absurdley blessed playthrough.

Is the art made by the same artist of the shining game from the gba?, I'm looking at it, and kinda seem so

Weird, I don't think I ever lost a duel. Maybe one time. But agree that they're the worst combat format by far. I also didn't love the strategy combat. I felt that both of these were better in 3/4/5. I actually really liked 4's ship combat.

I gave you a “Like”, but :30 in I had to call bs. No one is arguing who won the 16-bit console war. Nintendo won it hands down. If Sega had won, do you really believe Sega would be out of the console game?

The story was for me a huge letdown. It felt like a watered-down Suikoden experience. It didn't help that they made this game kids friendly, because the writing was a bit more mature for Suikoden 1 & 2.

I'm a huge suikoden fan and also backed this on Kickstarter. Haven't finished yet but having an absolute blast with it, my only major gripe is how the unite attacks often feel weaker than just attacking
