You didn't need to say so much. I was sold by the time "Jecht action game" was the idea. :p

What do you mean so i dont have to? I will and always will play the classics, because they are the best TR games.

Abi u are legend pls we wanna see you in japan tell about yourself some long time no see

Man, I remember renting Breath of Fire dragon quarter and being blown away by how gritty and shocking it was. I did, however, grow frustrated by the time mechanic and the way you keep having to start over. I can’t think of a single example of time limit mechanics in RPGs that work well and lead to a better gaming experience.

Great game

Bloody roar is Goated and I wish it would be revived! If only we had the dragon balls to make it happen

2:36 Capcom please I will preorder remake this series

TR 1 is goated for me. 2 and 3 not so much, they’re ok but no where near as good as the first one. 3 is probably my least favourite because of how confusing it is to know where to go Having said that I still spent a solid 200 hours playing the remasters when they came out

Great retrospective!! I'm always sad to see how many people don't enjoy TR2, but I totally understand the frustrating enemies and Rig section. Hope you had a great time playing through all of them in general though. Looking forward to 4-6 Remastered so so soon! Don't let the over-sensitivity towards the video title in the comments take away from your video essay- I'm sure people who have yet to play this will appreciate your thoughts and review. Not everyone can play a game the moment it releases... I JUST finished the entire Remastered collection recently and been playing slowly but surely since the release. Cheers!

I love Digimon World, Breath of Fire IV, Megaman, and Harvest Moon

TR1 is the true and only great TR game. The rest were nostalgia, especially III.

If you'd done it 2 months ago then I wouldn't have wasted me money and my excitement on this garbage "remaster".

this would be sick, they wont do it, but it would be awesome

Great review. These games are so special.

Imo they do not make games like this anymore. The challange was part of what made these games. You actually felt like you accomplished something, as opposed to the hand holding movies that games are these days. I am so excited for 4-6 remastered. While i enjoy all of them, especially 1 and 3, 4 had everything and is my absolute favorite videogame of all time and i cannot wait for it to come out. Og Lara and games are the only way for me. <3

No you still have to play it

Played this solid for 2 months when it came out last February was so much fun and can't wait for the 4 - 6 remasters! 😊

Its 'Ski-on' not 'Si-on'

The fact that you can actually get lost playing the classic TR games is something that is missing from modern gaming. After finishing the remasters i played Marvel's Spider Man and was so bored by how much the game is holding your hand carrying you through what felt like an interactive movie. Classic Tomb Raider offers true exploration and challenge.

I do not agree with your title 'cause everyone should play these games (????) In any case xDD good video, I enjoyed hearing you talk about the games I love so much. <3 Also the more Tomb Raider videos I watch the more I see that I might be the only person that actually enjoys the levels of the Maria Doria (????) My fav Tomb Raider will and always be Tomb Raider 2. I just love the setting of that game and it's very difficult for me to pick a level there I don't like (Barkhang monastery and Temple of Xian are absolute peak, though). Honestly, yes, I understand the complains about human enemies but the moment you learn how to deal with them, Bartoli's goons are actually quite dumb in combat (????) Either way I feel like the plot called for those enemies since Lara's bumping heads with a huge ass cult that will do anything to obtain the dagger. To me, such a delightful experience, I can't wait for the next trilogy to be remastered. <3

Nice review, I've been playing these since the beginning, i feel the same way TR1 was always my favourite but TR3 is very very close, probably the better all around game but it's the isolation feeling the first game had which was perfect. TR2 seems to be the most popular universally & i do love parts of it but there's parts i hate, all the human enemies ruin the immersion, the Rig & Maria Doria levels are a drag for 6 levels that really should have been 3. TR2 has iconic levels but it feels more like a James bond espionage film.

Does the lost artefact have a story?

But I want to

"so you don't have to" Everybody should play TR 1-3

What? The games were released like a year ago. Do you really think we all had been waiting til your video?

TR3 T-Rex is too underrated: Vision based on movement, actually follows and sniffs flares, and gets attacked by raptors.

Tomb Raider 1-3 is actually a more babied down version of the originals their is A LOT of things they added like brand new moves not accessible in the OG’s, changing how wide the box is for Lara picking up items, etc. it’s not a bad thing but these aren’t the original extremely challenging games these once were It was good they did this too because modern gamers instead of just taking like 15 mins to learn how she moves in the tutorial home they just try to start the story right away 🤦🏼‍♀️

Step left. Step right. Step left. Step back. Step forward. Turn around three times. Do a backwards flip with a twist. If you know what this is, you'll most likely enjoy playing this remastered trilogy and enjoy getting to play the Gold expansions that were never brought to the Playstation, though PC controls are markedly more clunky than the PSX controller. If you don't know what this is, you're just going to call the game "old" and not enjoy it, so you're better off checking out Tomb Raider Anniversary if you want to take an easier dip into the original TR games.

What are the stats?

Interesting

Ive been looking for this game thank you

This is an awesome idea. I never realized the parallels between these two games. It would be cool if Jecht had an ability that allowed him to bounce a ball between different enemies to damage them, and maybe it could be bounced between himself and his allies.

Fantastic idea

It's great to see Lara Croft again. I'm a fan of her videos and storytelling.

I've always loved Tomb Raider, I watched it with great pleasure.

Unlike some games, Tomb Raider is one of those games that really says "I'm old" after years. At least the first era. If you don't think you must play it with nostalgic feelings, you shouldn't play it. The mechanics and game content are really old.

Which Tomb Raider title is your favorite?

I first saw this game series in 2015, thank you for telling about your old games

Tomb Raider games have gotten really old

I think you hit the nail on the head. FFX is such a well-crafted work of art, and I feel like the pilgrimage is a crucial piece of that. By connecting itself thematically with the "journey" that's at the heart of every Final Fantasy game, FFX directly connects itself with its roots in FFI, even though it's different in so many ways on the surface (being the first truly full 3D title). I think there's a whole lot of potential here, whether they take it or not.

This is fun idea, the first thought when I heard this video was a proogue to showcase Jecht's journey. In terms of gameplay I wonder how something like say "Aggro" could work. Basically the "Aggro" system is one in which as you control Jecht and an NPC controls Auron you can swap between them by Provoking the foe, so basically the idea is you would have two characters you can control and your customization comes from how you prepare each loadout. As for Braska, he would serve as support/limit break concept where he stays in the sidelines and as say you defeat enemies, performs parries and combos you build up a meter and when the meter reaches a certain amount you can perform a Summon, in which case both Jecht and Auron would pull back and now you would control said Aeon. Now the Aeon itself has two limiters set on it, 1 being their HP and the other being Timer, if their timer runs out, Jecht/Auron reappear in combat and Braska pulls back, if say the Aeon's HP reaches 0 then Braska would need to pull back and recover meaning you lose access to his support actions. -So basically the loop revolves around setting an AI for Braska as to how to utilize their MP and which support abilities they should have active and who they should use them on -You setup the fighting styles for both Jecht and Auron maybe add in a new concept where upon beating an Aeon you earn a new grid to invest into, so you start off with their basic grid that connects to each other, then each Aeon defeated expands on their grid which at it's core would be something like Fire(Offensive/Strong Attacks), Earth(Defensive/HP), Lightning(Speed/Att Speed) etc, the journey itself is just the begining then much like Stranger of Paradise the full utilization of the Sphere system would occur after beating the game, maybe the endgame could be something like "Ancient Spheres" the unlock after beating the game and you can look into the world before or worlds unknown to partake in challenges. I guess a way to look at it to make it a unique "souls-like" experience is of course that dual-box like aesthetic of being able to switch between characters and treating Braska like you "items" where his resource for said "items" is his MP. Basically you can set certain abilities to be cast when requested then there would be a cooldown for when they can be cast again depending on the magic spell. I could definitely see the concept being interesting because from my recollection of FFX, Jecht's story does feel like it would have more grit to it compared to what Tidus went through, so having a similar aesthetic to Stranger of Paradise would make sense.

Omg.... Let me have A ff7 Remake battle style X & X-2! Square ⬛ Enix omfg Please! This is an infinite money glitch.

Im more in favor of a complete remake of Dragon Quarter or Breath of Fire 1, the former for being the one with the most unique take in terms of gameplay and story, the latter for being the one that started the tale.

I see the vision

Honestly i can see this working. A prequel to final fantasy 10 and they add more lore to it. I also am hoping after final fantasy 7 remake is done that 10 will be next for a remake. I want to see spira in better graphics. I do want them to make ff 10-2 remake but it needs to be scraped and redone.

BoF4-2 wouldnbe dope too seeing how the game ended and the manga as well. They could do a lot

Another thing to note: Sharon is dommy mommy

Id want them to go in order. Meaning make the next Origins game about Emperor. I have OCD and would hate it if they ping pong back and forth 😭

Never forget Tidus died to a blitzball bomb

This game is too sad and also they had a chance in x 2 and ruined it.
