I love Lodoss, and have since I was 9. I was set to settle in for the next hour for your video, but you lost me with your commie bs.

Great video! I love The Record of Lodoss War world!

Hey man i randomly found your 007 goldeneye video and have to say you are very talented and i hope your situation gets better and you get back to making videos

What mission is it where she's crying above not wanting to die?

the lara croft games are actually pretty good afaik they aren't tomb raider games but they're good games

After abysea this game got decent.. smn party basically shot me past dune party’s thank god

This guy is probably gonna love EDF 5 and 6

i got a good ammount of videos of me playing this some years ago. good times

27:00 when the simons quest piano hit 😥

biggest problem is matchmaking. you have to wiat in lobby for ppl to join. i understand ppl cant just drop in mid game, but the fact they cant even join lobby and wait to join game next match ruined chances for ppl to find games unless ppl just stay waiting in lobby forever and ppl keep spamminh search for match over and over

Great video. I researched this 5 years ago and always wanted to make a panel about Ryo Mizuno on my local anime con. I'm glad someone else researched this and posted it on KZbin. Great video.

Your stupid "analysis" made zero sense and didn't do justice to the game.

I remember all the days of FFXI.. I did end up quitting roughly abyssea but I have been back for the last 5 years and enjoying it. Still have friends and linkshell. Skill and Knowledge were essential in the game and from my experience this games populous (at least on my server) were more than happy to discover those things together. I remember the BST LS's where they would have charts and explanations etc. Working together. The Devs did a really good job and the community responded well to it.

Hold on a fucking moment this was made 5 years ago-

tbh the best thing about EDF is legit how ur teamates are just like cracking jokes while fucking bill over there is getting consumed by a ant

Could this project have become the game Jacob's Quest that's on steam? A lot of the images seemed similar, and it had things shown, like the 4 member party... Clicking on Jake under developer brings up a screen for darkdesigngamesltd... (it was added on steam nov. 22nd, 2022... much much later than this video was)

I found insect armagedon in a pawnshop, i was looking for a couch co-op, bought it for gamecube, played it with my brother and thats how we started with EDF.

I love Culture Brain games. That logo is awesome, I want Culture Brain gear. Lol. Flying Warriors series was pure love, Baseball Simulator is awesome, and Ninja Brothers series was great too (The small appearances of other Culture Brain characters made me lose my mind. Lol.) Also, the music is always so catchy.

it's not gonna happen, but it would be kinda fun if they made a single-player version of the game, before shutting it down (whenever that will happen). It would require a lot of work to make certain encounters doable with trust as well as making certain things more available without the MMORPG economy, but it would be nice to have a piece of nostalgia you could return to whenever you feel like it.

Excited for a new video!

thank you sir! I'm going to start my adventure in final fantasy XI for the first time and I've never played FFXIV so I was very confused at first about what I should do in the beginning. And now I'm curious to talk to Ken :)))

just got back into it... really nice!

Bastok for the win!!

I agree. My son and I have been playing since the NA PS2 release when I bought two PS2 systems with FFXI, keyboards, mice, networking, etc. We joined an LS on Caitsith named Brotherhood. We still miss those wonderful people, especially our White Mage, Crasher. There are so many memories a person couldn't begin to relate them to another or know how. IBHalliwell and Ramrat on Ragnarok

Great video, you should have 100k subscribers

Dyne sacrificed his hard drive for all of us 😅

16:07 I felt GENUINE TERROR AND CHILLS 😨

I hate videos like this. That pretend the games have bad stories just because they’re told differently. They aren’t. I’d go watch other videos to get an idea of the nuance they actually have. So enough with the “so bad it’s good” take. It’s just good.

25:10 just a Note, this decision was not recived well by the playerbase (pretty much taking one of the only contenders for a 10/10 EDF game and shooting it in the kneecaps mid race) and while I think Sandlot should patch it out, they did change it in 5 and other games going forwards where while it is said your support is being lost you don't actually lose your call-ins, and in general gave Air Raider a ton of QoL Love to make up for beating it with a hammer in 4.1. Sure it may be "powerful" as a story telling tool, but gameplay wise it makes Air Raider the worst class to play in 4.1 and just harms the game overall, I'd honestly just look to find a mod that removes it if the game had an actual modding scene, actively stripping the ultility of a class at least three times (on three seperate missions) makes that class not as attractive to play, especialy in multiplayer where you go from being a contributing member of the team to someone that probalbly can't even defend themselves unless you have stocked up a surplus of vehicles before hand or have a Balam which doesn't need ammo, and there are additional missions which may have more times where Air Raider gets stripped of their functions, it's just not fun gameplay but 4.1 is the furthest game in the series my PC can run smoothly or I'd be playing 5. Edit: and yes I did comment before, but I forgot that comment existed.

I love Guerrilla War (both arcade and NES versions) and I loved this documentary. Crush the American foreign power!

10:58 I had no idea that could be done in RE4.😮

I have a personal theory that the ravegers aren't trying to wipe out humanity because this is not an effective way of doing that throwing tons of weak stuff at it that is thats not gonna get rid of a species that's how you make like the ultimate warrior race maybe thats what the ravegers are doing maybe they're just molding humans to be strong but dumb so they have just a massive army of super warriors to throw at they're own problems.

halo fanboys wont admit goldeneye set the console FPS controls standard , goldeneyes 1.2 style is the modern standard just reversed due to the sticks position

Thank you for making this! I found WoS as a kid because my computer couldn’t handle games with more intense graphics lol. It was always special to me but it’s cool to have context for how special it was as a piece of game dev history!

Any news on the living situation? And new videos?

Hey are you on horizonxi private server ?? It’s the closest to a classic xi feel that you can find and there level cap will al be 75 there only up to CoP but there releasing ToAU sometime next year. I’d recommend it If your looking for that feeling again servers always have over 1-2k players online.

What a game... I remember playing on Uncle Dan's server in the early 2000s and having a blast talking with people, playing, helping them out, and more for hours. It was always full of people just hanging out. It will always be one of those games that I always end up thinking about with fond memories. Alas, those will just remain memories of another era. We can't go back to that time, no matter how much we wish we could... "Thank you for playing Well of Souls."

it has been a month since i started playing the series and didn't finished 5 yet, but 4.1 has something special in it that 5 in at least the first 40 stages haven't gotten close yet. Brute Force being one of those stages

My sister and I played the shiiiiit outta this game when we were little. We’d design our own characters and monsters. Seeing this makes me want to hook my computer back up and check it out

Deedlist is 80% reused engine from tohou luna nights

Record lodoss war save the fantasy. While rest going for the cyberpunk theme.

I played this game a lot back in around 2001, it was great

It's too bad you didn't enjoy the Adoulin Expansion. I got into the game when Rhapsodies was new. So I got my gear through NM's in the Escha zones. So I wasn't too dependant on Adoulin content. Job and Exemplar points brought back XP parties but the whole system was broken by then. TP is now gained at a rapid rate so people just spam Weapon skills. AOE attacks also became over powered. The good ol' days of level grinding and learning your job was taken out of the game, unfortunately.

Had this hit my recommended just after finishing my 3rd full playthrough of the game, bringing a friend through their first, and this hits all the points superbly. I will always say that EDF's plot is at its core, satire. It has no shame in accepting that it's a B movie plot and running with it. It knows its house, it knows its job, and it does it. One thing I wanted to mention is how you pointed out not every mission is as savage as Brute Force in terms of bringing out that dynamic story to gameplay integration and I just wanted to mention that that fact is very important and intentional. You need breaks, not just in a mission, but in the missions themselves, if you follow the tone for each particular mission as a whole there's a flow to it of highs and lows. There's multiple build ups, climaxes, and then cool downs to set up for the next mini arc. The time those breather levels stop coming, is the end, when things are truly desperate, and each time you think you're going to hit that climax, it just keeps getting worse. it's soooo good.

Tobal 1 and 2 actually featured some things that most (even current) 3d fighting games lack. When you block, the animation of the attack actually changes somewhat realistically. Only sim'ish fighting games share this feature, but it took them almost a decade to catch up to Tobal in that regard.

I got in trouble for putting Well of Souls on the school computer in 1998. My teacher kept talking about gaming like it was gambling, when she found out what it was.

Sorry… I love this game

You had to fight hard in the early days to get anime. I was going crazy in 1992 buying magazines like Newtype at Tower Records. I even bought my first Japanese language lesson book there to try and translate them. I had been into D&D 1st and 2nd edition by then and Lodoss hit all the key points. It wasn't till about 1995 before it was sent state side in subtitles and dubbed. I still have my VHS tapes. It's a perfect love letter to classic western fantasy with an eastern spin. I love you Japan! I'm glad when you mention the played-up Parn and Deedlit romance in the anime since there was no such element in the original campaign. Yeah, she was after his magical sword, and that's not a Freudian symbol!
