Enchanted Arms Review - JRPG's on the Xbox 360 Part 1

[@superboy9431]

Hey man, I just found your videos lately and I have to say I sincerely think you're one of the best at covering this type of content. The amount of research, context and passion in your videos is inspiring, please please keep making more videos about games like these! I wish you nothing but the best in life! Thank you for the great content!

Makoto was an inspiration to me growing up because he was unapologetically a femboy and owned it. Plus everyone still treated him like a friend and companion. In my eyes, Makoto is good representation at a time when that wasn't the norm.

Awesome video man, currently on a replay of this game after like 15 years and loving it.

[@EVILterminator5]

Glad to hear!

[@midgetsparkle]

This is what I've been looking for. A thorough in depth review of this game. Thank you. Subscribed. Onto the other videos in this series!!

[@tein357]

Nice video!! I've had this game in my backlog for a while, but never had the motivation to try it out. I'm currently playing through the Phantasy Star Universe story mode and will probably try Enchanted Arms next.

[@captain_bowie]

Amazing memories with this game. I know From Software has hit it's stride, but I wish they would try different types of games like they used to.

It's nice seeing a person who doesn't hate JRPGs review this game. Penny Arcade have a comic strip back in 2006 about critics of enchanted Arms being mad that was a jrpg and that was their only criticism of it. I saw a few days ago a former game journalist who did reviews in the 90s re-review a bunch of jrpgs that he gave low scores or high scores whether they were 3D or 2d. Because a lot of jrpgs on the PS1 that were not Final Fantasy only got good or bad reviews because of the graphics. Game journalist from the mid-2000s they need to answer for their crimes. It is literally only because of Western game journalist turning against the genre in the mid-2000s is the reason why Tales of Vesperia and Tales of the Abyss has some of the lowest reviews in the entire franchise.

19:25 Actually, combat takes place on a 6x4 grid.

I found this game from a discount bin at walmart in the early 2000s'. I loved it. It was one of those games that no one ever really heard of but I grabbed any game I could get my hands on when I was a teen.

[@ElfHostage]

Is anyone ever start watching a KZbin video thinking that they had never seen it before until they’re some of the way into the video and then you remember that you HAVE seen it before?

[@DijaVlogsGames]

The Xbox 360 is just so interesting at times - when Microsoft was still trying to break through in Japan. I‘m currently collecting all the EU JRPGs on the 360. almost done, may go after the US titles afterwards.

[@mistersideburns6912]

JRPGs have quickly become one of my favorite genres, which is perfect timing with this series starting. I haven’t heard of any JRPGs for the 360, really, and as someone who loves gaming history I’m excited to see whether these games are hidden gems or duds. Enchanted Arms certainly seems neat, and while “charm” as the main draw for games has never hooked me in, the gameplay seems solid enough that I’d probably give this a go when the opportunity arises! I’m loving how this series has started and I can’t wait for your thoughts on Blue Dragon!

[@AngelD329]

I rented this game in 07 at blockbuster😂 . Still has an insanely addictive battle system.

[@ShadyPlatinum777]

Great review. I never gave this game a chance but I’ll have to try it again

[@Vagabor123]

One of my fav games

[@A_Y_O_O_O_O_Its_N8]

I fuck with this video, Super nostalgic. Do blue dragon Next!

[@A_Y_O_O_O_O_Its_N8]

No wayyyy! I'm just finding your channel and thought you would love that throwback as well. Watching that after this one

[@EVILterminator5]

@@A_Y_O_O_O_O_Its_N8 Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found this after the Blue Dragon video came out 🤣 I hope you enjoy that one too!

[@ecrescent4545]

One of my favourite JRPGs of all time

[@Coreisus]

If at all possible I'd like to master this technique by tomorrow

[@sora6748]

However the PS3 version in my opinion got the better stuff especially certain boss songs in the game that were not in the 360 version which is interesting at the time, I think who played this game know what I talk about especially in the boss songs.

[@PharmDMarKai]

Much respect for this game

[@IHeart16Bit]

Nearly 20 minutes of a 27 minute video before any combat is shown. 🙃

[@krystalshocked]

This game is not 'homophobic' its just how media was back then and why games are so stale now.

[@MP-oj9tk]

I know he's a stereotype but as a gay man I just love Makoto. UwU

[@slimeeeeeeeeeeeaz]

its (kareen) lol
