Who ends up hugging Crono if neither Marle or Lucca is in the party?

I think you can make a comparison to the Reptites with the story of Skyrim. How you can relate to either side of the Stormcloak/Imperial conflict. While the Skyrim civil war is more ideological, the Reptites fight for survival against the humans is more primal. The parallels are there, different but with a similar visceral contemplation.

No disrespect, I've always loved hearing different ways to hear words, but I've never heard someone say melCHier. I've always pronounced it Mel-key-or.

Liam, I’m a longtime fan of your Ratchet and Clank videos. There were quite a few times in here where you mentioned “XYZ doesn’t even need to be covered” or “of course you all know who that is” where I feel like me and a sizable portion of non-JRPG people definitely DID need those points to at least receive a cursory explanation.

the wii menu is the best part of the wii

When the fall hapen in my plathrut i was replaing to glados aloud

Mirrors edge is really special to me. Thanks for keeping the love for this game alive!

Half Life Alyx looks great even on lower end systems. The developers really did prove concept with this game.

Way better than KingKs video

The z targeting story is amazing lore.

Pointing out the title screen thing- when that piano hits i almost cry every time

I bought and played this game with the NoVR mod recently. Absolute masterpiece

ff4 ff6 and ff7 are all top tier games!!!! chrono trigger is the best!!!!

Monsters dont take over your hometown, thats a different town 🤦‍♂️

57:25 PAUSE ✋🏾

You need to do a video on Epic Mickey: Rebrushed! There are some things still present that are problems, like morality, but there's also a lot of improvements, and the visuals are so amazing! Also, you did kind of get your wish with being able to watch cartoons from the reels, but it's only 2 ones and then the end credits. But one of the 2 is an Oswald short!

I love your Zelda retrospectives so much. Some of my favourite videos on KZbin!

Older games factors resource management and battle engagement as part of it. You can level up to at least level 3 before you get to the first castle; put in a little time to get to 4 or 5, the first castle will bump you higher. Grindy, yes, but you start the game ferociously underleveled. I still like it despite all its difficulties and flaws.

Games are an artform, but only 0.0001% of them are elite art

I heard about this game on a Earthbound podcast where it was briefly mentioned as a great game, I bought a copy and played it through without ever looking up any plot, you could call it a blind run. It was one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve ever had, even my non gaming wife was captivated by the characters and storytelling. Thanks for the amazing video Liam

OG starfox is my favorite of the bunch.

Thank you, this video got me teary-eyed. Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time, I discovered it more than 20 years ago and I still think about it regularly. It truly was a dream team that made this game and it shows. The story arc of Frog, the story arc of Magus, and of both of them, is so well thought out. Some moments are iconic, like the trial which got me by total surprise. I remember the first time I used a double-tech (X Strike) and the impression it left on me. The score is beautiful and Corridors of Time is one of the musics I listen while working long hours. This soundtrack made me learn guitar so I could play them.

"I know this is gonna make me sound like a vampire," it's okay, dude. We like those ^-^ On a more serious note, that intro gave me a somewhat similar revelation. I've been struggling to make my own stuff. As someone who's done mostly fanart the past few years, nowadays I find myself wanting to tap into my imagination to create original works, at least see what fascinating things are in store. From one artist to another, I can see where you're coming from there. I haven't played Chrono Trigger... yet. It has been sitting in my Steam library for a while. Haven't gotten the chance to play it, but hopefully one day soon, because seeing so many people talk about it gets me looking forward to it!

Good lord, the nostalgia. There are no words for how groundbreaking and epic this game was when it came out.

Better start playing the quintet series then... soul blazer, illussion of gaia, and TERRANIGMA!

Speaking of the Soundtrack, one track that got unfortunately cut from the Base game is this little song called "Singing Mountain". Its a melancholic, but also beautiful piano piece with this wind ambience permeating this feeling of isolation. It is legit one of the most emotional pieces in the whole game and was supposed to be used in a Prehistoric area before the Tyranno Lair part of the story. They ended up cutting the area since they couldn't fit the area in a meaningful way without it being filler (which kinda shows how commited the team was in making the game as consistently paced as it can be), but the track sadly went along with it. Which is unfortunate, because Singing Mountain would've been a beautiful fit for Death Peak. Just this feeling of hope permeating through the track as you push further and further onto this ruined mountain for the goal of bringing Crono back to life.

I haven't played starfox properly and what I did play I didn't enjoy. What I did enjoy was this video which somehow captured my attention throughout regardless. Great job!

Almost the end of the year, and Nintendo won't give us more Metroid news...... time to binge Metroid content so i can cope until February '25.

I don’t really know how to put this but Liam your videos feel like home. They are a comfort and provide an escape from the world. I truly enjoy all of your videos even if I haven’t played the games you’re talking about. So thank you for all that you do!

Men i love the video and even more the tumbnail, a biultiful art, i'm sure this

Chrono trigger about to moving forward and the power of will and not let the dark evil greve hant you is my best game top 5in my list😊

I'll always remember first getting this game. A gift from some family friends became one of my favorite video games ever. I'll always remember exploring the cosmos with mario when times got tough

A great video as always Liam!

I just completed mario Sunshine 100% a few months ago for the first time, and i had a blast. This might surprise some of you, but i had an easy time with the pachinko machine level and the watermelon festival. The blue coins were fun to collect, and after looking up a few online I wondered why I didn't look there in the first place. The Boss fights are fun even though they repeat. Eely-mouth was surprisingly easy for me, and i love how Gooper Blooper's fight works. I think phantamanta is my favorite boss fight. I like how Yoshi is in the game and you can eat birds, butterflies, and bees. Also i have a theory (not really a theory just a random thought) that the book in the bottle is the paper mario book/universe. This is one of my childhood games, and i love it when i get to see someone who appreciates it as much as I do. Thanks for making this video.

59:45 Song: Sheik’s Theme - Marble Pawns (Zeldawave album) I heard this song all the way back in middle school like 10 years ago, so hearing it again was just so nostalgic for me, great addition to the video!

It's so pleasing to see this game get so much love, decades after it's release. I still remember sneaking into my brothers room to play Chrono Trigger as a kid. It's art-style, combat system, story, soundtrack, etc. It's all 10/10. There's never been another game quite like it, and I sincerely hope that Square can remaster / remake this and do this series justice. As long as they keep whatever's been going on with the recent KH and FF games away from it, and don't deviate too far from the source, I'm sure it could be awesome.

It can be tempting to look for THE BIG THING we give to the world. Especially when we deeply relate to stories of heroes doing just that. But I think the way it's been for almost every human there has ever been, was that we gave little things to the people in our lives every day, all blending together in a mosaic. With every single view on your videos, with every single like, every time your words remembered, and every time you and a viewer shared an experience together, you gave something to them. Every like and view and memory of them is a gift you gave to the world. Thank you. :)

The original show is just it. Nothing can be remade from that story, even if the "Owners" try to change everything on the next reboot or remake or whatever. I just think the original have hope, honesty and flaws that make it just right to watch many times. You just know the people who made it were there to make something unique in true sincerity and were focused on a story with meanings. Not just yet another cash grab.

Please tel me is ds version please

I agree this game is amazing. Out of the blue tonight, I decided to play mirrors edge again after 15 years. Brings back so many good memories. Glad people are still putting out content on this game and showing a new generation great games from the past.

I'll defend the Blue Coin on the Moon. There's NPCs in the game that you can talk to. It's your own fault if you don't talk to them. Also, if you learned about the sun Shine, it only makes sense that there'd be something in the same spot, the moon, at night.

I wonder why they they didnt bring this out in Europe back in the day.

I remember my jaw dropping when I pushed the button to give Wheatley control thinking it was the end of the game because that was roughly the length of the first game, and then the game wasn’t over, and then just kept going. Still one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time

59:25 If it makes you feel any better Liam I also hated your old Star Fox videos.

jesus christ youre good at these games

I know this video is a year old, but the purpose of Interloper's length, is they didn't want to do what Half Life 2 did. Most areas in HL2 you can see the towering building that is the Citadel. Throughout the game you know your goal is to reach that building, and to scale it. When you get there, you do some stuff and ride a thing halfway up, you do some more stuff and ride a thing to the top. You were never able to see the top of the Citadel it was so tall, yet how long did it take to get up, 25 minutes? In Black Mesa Xen, the towering structure actually took time to climb, and wasn't a cake walk like the Citadel in HL2.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you check out Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age, on your RPG journey!

Greatest rpg ever.

Even though Zelda is what brought me to this channel, glad to hear JRPGs finally won you over. They are my favorite genre among many genres that I love, but I know they can be hard to get into. But once they hook you, you’ll likely be a lifelong fan
