It’s the Little Mermaid actress for Ariel

I'm feel like he's talking about Dr. Madnar, who used to be the creator of Metal Gear before MGS3's retcon. Since Dr. Madnar was Russian as well.

In the context of spoken dialogue in JRPG's, Thousand Arms walked so that FFX and Persona 3 could run.

killing "a god" , not God. Mind your words, they're misleading.

Good video, but one critique: the music is too loud. Like, i barely hear what you said. But i too got Thousand Arms back then on a whim and was not disappointed.

I remember being told my a friend (or maybe my brother) that it was like pokemon. It wasn’t really, but that was enough to get me onboard. I don’t think I ever finished it. But have fond memories of this game. A shame they didn’t market it better.

Bro i forgot decoy octopus existed. Imagine he venom snake?

I wish decoy octopus was in metal gear solid 5 so we could have seen more of what he was capable of

Extraction soldiers arrived at Mother base 🏗️🛟

I'm playing it for the first time now in 2024 :)

We’re going nowhere…

The parent pulls out of sniper and flies to location of Big Boss for revenge

As a traumatized child during that same era whose first JRPGs were the same as yours, many hugs.

Oof. Forgot how fucking hard that theme went. That brought back some tears thanks

Played this multiple times, one of the best RPG I may have played in my childhood days along with Final Fantasy Series, Lunar 1&2, Legend of Mana, Breath of Fire Series. The game system of Thousand Arms is pretty neat, the dating simulation is also essential to achieve skills but should align on a certain level to forge. I overleveld myslef the last time I played this and got the strongest skills of them. Great Game! Not to mention the OST Soundtrack - "Depend on You".

The day has come for the froggy demise

Froggy, you gotta be put down.

I noticed in Snake's cell, his corpse (the real chief's) has maggots. Raven eventually reveals the truth in the end

Thx shareing ur thoughts and be a part of this beautiful experience and that we all come here together and i hope in the future peoples will still come together and talk about this hidden gems. Is for ever my favorite game, played it so many times and gave me so many beautiful vibes, that i sometimes like to remember. this backgrounds and the art style from Genki was really nice to me. The music, the rpg grinding combat and monster fusions - really great.

Hard choice, but it is between King of Dragons on the SNES or The Great Circus Mystery starring Mickey & Minnie also on SNES. So many many goods times playing while dealing with hardships.

It was a mask and yes I knew It was a big deal lol

Are you forgetting the leader of the resistance was Schneider who became Black Ninja in Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake.

Idk if it’d work as a game but I’d love some project that shows Kazs perspective during all this

I remember renting a ps1 from blockbuster when i was a kid! Man that was so nostalgic. I rented Blasto and Legend of Legaia with it. My dad's friend was over and thought legend of legaia was the weirdest game ever. He was wrong... it's sick lol.

10:00 Ironically, Chrono Trigger's soundtrack has some of the most complicated and intricate harmonic syntax, being that it largely employs "non-functional harmony" in it's sound track. Despite this, it retains the simplicity in its beautiful and, dare I say, intuitive melodic structure. A beautiful balance is struck between the two primary composers for the soundtrack, Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu. Mitsuda using much more complicated 'jazzy' non-functional harmonies on the whole, which is why many tracks have this eerie, mysterious tone, and Uematsu bringing his gorgeous, notoriusly catchy, melody-first style of composition that has tugged at player's heart strings in all the final fantasy games. This is how we end up with beautiful mysterious pieces like, "Secret of The Forest" and adorably memorable tunes like Frogs's Theme." Uematsu adapts to Mitsuda's style beautifully in his tracks by merging the non-functional harmony established with his groovy rhythmic structure for example in the track, "Tyran Castle." Overall a very complex and truly unique soundtrack that no other video game has even attempted to immitate. I can't thing of one video game that uses non-functional harmony as its core identity, although the soundtrack has undoubtedly has influenced many jrpgs of the present for example, "Octopath Traveler," the overt use of alternative syntax is truly unique.

You've gotta have protect at this point. And get tidus cheering like crazy, stack that shit haha

@5:00 I don't think I've ever seen such a scene in a text-based dialogue game. That's interesting to finally see.

I'm honestly impressed that the game was even localized heck Sega couldn't bothered bringing Sakura Wars to the west but Atlus bothered bringing this in the west and also the amount of English Dub especially when the acting is actually decent and not Resident Evil's it's-so-bad-its-hilarious voice acting

Kojima does his homework

just now seeing this, amazing work and i love your intro lol keep it up boss. Thousand arms is definitely underrated, I get why it's not mentioned as much as icons like FF VII and Suikoden and such but it's a smooth, fun experience and innovates a lot, the characters are charming too. Love the bits about your personal life, keep it up

An amazing game that is sadly overlooked. The classic but always beloved story and characters, the sprite and animated segment combination, the goofy but still fun dating mechanic, the opening, it's all reminiscent of good old 90s anime. Not to mention that it has some of the most lovingly designed manuals I have seen. Thanks for reminding me. I will boot it up again tomorrow.

i needed this !!! thanks bro ...

Much love to you Stew!

I’ve been around ever since the great bun crises of 2020 and 2021 and am looking forward to whatever comes next!! Thanks for continuing to put out great content.

Yasunori Mitsuda was the games composer. Nobuo Uematsu stepped in to help finish after Yasunori Mitsuda nearly died overworking on the score.

I DEMAND COMMUIST STEW TO COME BACK

I found your channel today after searching for a Thousand Arms review. It sounds like a lot has happened over the years. I'm your newest fan, but I look forward to your next project.

What an awesome story! Thank you for sharing so much about your own life and passion for games. I'm glad I found your great channel.

Tf is this?

Great story man, I started playing the game today for the first time

I would have no idea, Since he made the song flow (true style) from DDR Supernova like that. 🙂

Mgsv is best game ever made 😢

Sigh, *downloading again Ive played this game when i was like 15 years old, now i have 34 and i'm still thinking this game is the best. Jade cocoon 2 it's good too tho!

Mystic gooner ?

Yep, I noticed the DARPA Chief waved the guard so the pieces were coming together after Snake unwittingly entered the detonation codes after Master(Liquid) told him via Codec.
