The one reason I can think of justifying the casino helping them move on would be that the workers want to see someone win instead of constantly ripping people off. Doesn’t justify the amount of randomness and grinding, but that would be my guess

That's really a lovely explanation. I mean, the workers are just normal human beings trying to make a living, not evil people gleefully enjoying every person that walks out destitute. Similar to how people who work customer service call centers for things like credit cards are just absolutely worn down and gutted with how many stories of desperation and people with very little left. I hope Nitro sees your comment and replies, I'd love to hear his two cents on this, er, two chips rather haha.

Maybe the casino was always rigged against the players, and so, the spirits of the casino staff wanted closure by finally seeing someone win. That's probably why they make you play.

There's actually one other Echo Night game as well: "Adventure Player" on the PSP was a make-your-own-adventure-game utility released by From Software in Japan only, and one of the example games included on the UMD was "Echo Night #1" -- which was, I believe, a completely original Echo Night side-story.

And what’s sad is they already made a good option in the NES classic and SNES classic (and to a WAY lesser extent the PS Classic) where they can do the same thing for other consoles. If these companies took their time they could do the same thing but for more newer consoles like N64 and PS2. If it’s a problem of giving too many games then make like PS2 Racing Classic and a PS2 Horror Classic-make different versions for different genres. Hell make it so you have to order it ahead of time that way they don’t have extras sitting on a shelf-look at the different catalogs for each PS2 classic and pick which ones you want to order. It’s sadly a bit scummy but sadly you have to compromise a little on them wanting money. And hey you get 10-20 games for $70-80 dollars instead of paying $10 each and waiting for each one to be released or being forced to emulate or worse-paying hundreds of dollars for games that are impossible to find….

I imagine that for the casino ghosts, it's probably more of a "I want to re-live the moments of someone winning big and the thrill of it" rather than losing to them because they're more dealers than gamblers, so I think of it as a "reliving the glory days" sort of thing and getting to witness that "Big Win" moment before they go, but that's just speculation I'm mainly looking at it from the Dealer's POV rather than as if they're ghosts from the Kakegurui anime

Chickens are actually a lot braver than most humans. People are such cowards that because they don't want to see the blood, pain and torment of slaughter, they will instead pay a cruel, desensitized asshole to do it for them instead, so their psyche is safe from the horror, and they can eat someone else's flesh, wear someone else's skin. If that's not cowardice, I don't know what is. And yet you corpse munchers have the audacity to call chickens cowards. No cowards like humans!

@@Walamonga1313 I loved KF The Ancient City. In fact, I finished it twice. The gameplay is extremely slow, but the atmosphere and the interconnected world are what makes the game so cool in my opinion. Shadow Tower Abyss is an interesting twist on the KF formula, but the game feels unfinished, the story is lacking, and it ends very abrubtly. Kuon is alright, and some ps2 Japanese horror fans like it, but I personally found that it doesn't really bring much new to the genre (I played Silent Hill games, some Fatal Frame games, and Siren before this one). Kuon is not a game where you feel like you are vulnerable and being hunted, as you have all these spells and summons to fight the enemies with. Also, I feel like it tries a bit too hard with all the blood and the dead bodies lying around all over the place. Armored Core I only played a little bit of (the first one), and I'd say it probably was a fun game for ps1 era, not so much anymore.

If from soft ever made a sequel to echo night you know they'd put in a joke about the casino. Like, you'll talk to a dude and he'll say "how about a bit of gambling?" And then die instantly. They love that kinda stuff. Source: the fact 3d dot game heroes exists.

Really would love to see that game get remade for modern systems, with some voice acting.

A few years ago my sister used to buy old ps2 and ps3 games that she could find in second hand game stores. We've found so many old classics like that, she even managed to grab haunting ground. One of the games I was always interested in playing but never got around to was echo night, beyond. The premise always seemed interesting, but I just never had the time. After seeing this video and learning its not even the only game in the series im definitely pulling it out for a play when I get home. If its anything like this game I'll probably love it.

"Echo Night" was one of the first games I bought for my PS1 back in the day ($15 discount bin at the local Target), and I absolutely loved it. The idea it's so expensive online just blows my mind. It's a great game and all, but come on, a hundred bucks? Guess I should consider myself lucky. :) Lovely video as always, and I'm super stoked to see what you have to say about the other two installments!

Also the segue into the casino was so dumb, but perfect. That Sunshine tease for the roulette skit was delightful! Digged the RayFont on the flowchart, btw.
