Can You Beat King's Field Japan Using Only Magic?

[@ktk44man]

"you were at my side, all along" wow I only just noticed how untransformed, Ludwig's sword is made of stone just like this one. I love the parallels, it makes the moonlight blade feel oddly consistent even after all of these different iterations

[@MoonChild8189]

​@@teabullsI am glad they look different in ac games though. It'd be super bizarre though I won't lie it would definitely make it a more standout weapon

[@Ostr0]

Moonlight Greatsword is a old fan favorite being introduced into the Souls Series as well minus Sekiro but it has no Multiplayer.

[@mahmud7645]

@@Ostr0kings field is a fromsoft running gag. The first of some they like to use. Like patches.

[@BareKnuckleRoo]

I forgot about that off-center, rotating fountain. I love how charmingly janky this game is so much.

[@DonnyKirkMusic]

it totally looks like something that the Crypt Worlds developer would make, lol.

[@dav795]

"King's Field 3 is next" I can't wait. Love the series!

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

I just love that FROMSOFT has been using the same tricks forever. Illusory walls behind illusory wall, trap fort areas, impassible arrow swarms you need to go around. Love it.

[@BlinJe]

You should see the trap fort in KF3 (2us) (passage of death) if you haven’t already!

[@Barnesofthenorth]

Even in this you can clearly see a lot of the mechanics they would expand on in later games like dragon fruits giving you a revive, traps and hidden walls, brutal difficulty.

[@Heartmyasu]

The kissing threw me off and had me laughing more than it should

[@erc0re526]

Can't wait for the 3rd one!! I love how you explain everything while not breaking the atmosphere of this game. Keep up the amazing content!

[@BlinJe]

Hey these comments mean so much to me, thank you!

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

Thank you for showing off the moonlight swords magic, I was wondering what it had.

[@darkjapan]

This was great to watch mate! Well done! The planet of Saturn is written 土星 in Japanese which literally means earth star. The Evil Dark Magician is called 黒魔導士 in Japanese which would be better translated as Black Wizard/sorcerer/mage. 魔導 means black magic which contrasts with 魔法; magic. 魔法 type magic is the kind that appears in Harry Potter. So they were trying to reflect this naunce in the translation. This translation seems to be very high quality and comparable to the official translations of KF 2.

[@BlinJe]

Yoo thanks a lot dude. So Saturn is "Earth Star " in Japanese? that sounds cool.. if a tad inaccurate? ;)

[@darkjapan]

@@BlinJe That's right. All the other planets have similar names. I think they were derived from the Latin names, as were the days of the week. Mercury 水星 Water Star Venus 金星 Gold Star Earth 地球 Earth sphere Mars 火星 fire star Jupiter 木星 wood star Saturn 土星 Earth star Uranus 天皇星 Emperor's Star lol Neptune 海王星 Sea King Star Pluto 冥王星 Hades' Star

[@BareKnuckleRoo]

I was actually wondering if you'd go for this! You're a madman!

[@TheGameStampede]

Thank you, I know I got stock in the 4th floor where there is a interestion, and I played this on psp where my saves always gets corrupted! Many many thanks, you have the best review for this game so far.

[@BlinJe]

Thanks man, that's a big compliment!

[@OGDannyD]

Thank you for this series. I love these games and it's hard to find good content on these games

[@yeez13]

This was great. Subbed!

[@BlinJe]

Thankyou good sir, comments like this make my day.

[@SpecShadow]

5:05 Fun fact - there was PS1 release of Ultima Underworld and it got English translation fairly recently. Played on PC more than a decade ago wonder if I can play this one without a guide...

[@Lwous]

this is the most niche cool thing i founded in a while

[@BlinJe]

Thanks man! definitely check out the other KF vids i think they're better.

[@ftc_productions]

11:50 they gave the lizard some THIGHS, god damn

[@BlinJe]

[@AnAverageGoblin]

[@Barnesofthenorth]

Just finished the game and ye Triple Fang is amazing, it took me from thinking I'd just do the third floor tonight as I was doing a lot of backtracking, to having so much health and mana spare that I just powered through the entire thing.

[@ViperliciousOG]

Seriously like Im happy to experience these games through your eyes :3

[@crispyjeb]

The music from this series is amazing!

[@duncan7901]

Nice work champ. I always got fed up with the last boss and watched the ending instead lol

[@BlinJe]

aw jeez. Was that in the PS1 version? There's a weird "remake" on PC, on the Sword of Moonlight editing tool.... the final boss in that version is absurdly tanky for some reason. On a regular playthrough it took me over 5 minutes of spamming spells to beat it.

[@jonathanplooij3666]

17:42 i hate it when a game doesn't let me heal a wounded npc 21:15 i didn't know some weapons had a magic attack 22:32 no idea

[@BlinJe]

yeah man sword magic is in every KF!

[@ShadwSonic]

That's odd, the fountain didn't rotate when I played... Maybe it's a bug from the translation patch? By the time I realized there was one, I was too far in... "60 STR 85 MG unlocks Sword Magic" No, it's 60 STR and only 60 MG. Coincidentally, hitting certain classes comes from interactions with this same metric, "Swordmaster" being the point where you have 60 of each.

[@BlinJe]

I really wonder why I thought it was 85 mag for the colichemarde.. ah well, it was years ago so i can't remember!

[@prumprum2592]

Fantastic content - good editing and great narration. Subbed!

[@AttitudeIndicator]

cool video just finished the game it's bussin!!

[@woozle_ch]

I was just playing this one for my stream and ran into some problems getting the Moonlight Sword to actually cast sword magic. Good to know I can kill him with that funnily-named rapier! Good video, wish I could watch the next in the series, but I'm playing through the rest of the KF series without spoilers. Definitely going to return after I do!

[@BlinJe]

Thankya! Did you have 80 str/80 magic? That's the requirement for Moonlight Sword Magic

[@woozle_ch]

​@@BlinJe Nope, I did not know. That explains the issue I had with being unable to cast it! I'm still gonna go for the colichemarde strat because that stunlock is powerful, plus I don't want to grind, but I'll be sure to bring that up.

[@BlinJe]

@@woozle_ch Yeah the Colichemarde destroys the entire game haha. But if you want to grind up it really doesn't take long if you pewpew those infinite golem spawns on B4. right near a warp point and save too.

[@woozle_ch]

@@BlinJe I think I'll do that off-stream just so I have the Moonlight Sword as an option, thanks!

[@_Tzer]

there is still a few untranslated king's field games unfortunately.

[@syl3924]

what right do the lizard people have being so caked up?

[@BlinJe]

the tail from the front looks like junk too 🥵

[@df6534]

How do you turn/look up so smoothly and quickly?

[@BlinJe]

Not sure, the emulation seems accurate enough but maybe it isn't? Are you emulating or playing on hardware? ( I assume emulating for the translation patch ) It might also look slightly smoother as a result of video encoding.. OBS then Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. I can't say I've ever thought KF1(j) is smooth.

[@wind2536]

Great video and good job, would never attempt this myself lol. I actually just beat KF1 too so this is some nice timing.

[@BlinJe]

More fun in the other games, probably! Thanks for watching dude.

[@wind2536]

@@BlinJe I would guess it’s better in 2 seeing as how it’s more open from the start. Can’t comment on 3 as I’m in the middle of playing it right now. Have to say these are wonderful games and you can see the foundations for the souls series, KF even has the estus flasks basically! And no problem bro, it’s clear you put in the effort.

ngl the "I did some grinding offscreen" bit reminded me of when DSP got caught cheating in one of the Souls games. where he claimed he did some grinding off camera but his playtime + current level + enemies he grinded with didn't add up EDIT: oh that was the joke nvm

Yeah the first two. he gets retconned in the next two games. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be Guyra or whatever

@@BlinJe According to KF3, the dragon's name is Millia and it was like... some sort of guardian spirit or construct that Guyra made, and it being a From game, she's no longer alive by the time of KF3

[@Werytex42]

From the very begining was curious, why you don't use sword magic and start to think, that it's forbidden by rules of challenge... Got it, when you used rapier magic. Didn't even know it's so powerful:)

yessss you need to reach certain stats in order to use sword magic!

I see you used map that doesn't show one secret on the 1st floor. One of the graves near lvl4 entrance called Light's grave and with Light's key you can open entrance to the chest with moonstone you will sell for 800 bucks.
