Falling In Love With Tail Concerto

[@jakeowen2623]

This was the first game I picked out as a 5 year old in a GameStop at the mall in 2000. Probably the first piece of Japanese media I was ever exposed to. It took me googling “original PlayStation game dog man in mech suit” to be able to find out what the title was. It was easily something I could’ve dreamed up. I’m glad this game wasn’t a figment of my imagination.

[@mikehawk8984]

Same here! Think my mom bought it for me for a holiday or something and I remember being absolutely blown away by the art style and how adorable the whole game was. Definitely my only exposure to the anime style as a kid, because aside from this it was Soul Reaver and Abe's Odyssey all the way. Definitely primed me to be a weeb in adulthood 😂

[@supersalad9801]

Tail concerto doesn't do anything groundbreaking or new, but it has so much charm, character, and sincerity, that it elevates playing this game from an activity to an experience.

[@VanguardAlexkio]

Genuinely hope the Solatorobo vid happens someday, this one was so good

[@MiDuWay]

The moment I first heard Waffle's voice, All I could think of was Omochao's "PRESS THE 'B' BUTTON TO DO A SOMERSAULT" from Sonic Adventure 2. I'm glad to know that I wasn't wrong to think that.

[@Lute01]

lmao, you were right!

[@duuudewazzup8296]

I really love the fact you let scenes play out In this video some people may see it as padding but I love it you really allow the viewer to get absorbed in this cute little world

[@alexyiikintherealworld]

The Panda edit caught me off guard. Great video.

[@Lute01]

Thank you so much lmfao, my roommates and i love your yiik memes, thanks for taking the time to comment

[@franciscovegamarquez7646]

Hey Alex, i have had your how to vex the enemy x amongus in real life meme in my playlist for a year

[@skunthundler]

You're like this awesome stopgap between Hazel and Running Shine. Gonna binge all of your videos and keep up with new shit from you.

[@Lute01]

this is basically exactly what i’m going for. thank you very much lol

[@meowspark9]

You say this and now I have another channel to binge watch(I also love Maraganger)

[@elipticalecliptic481]

I was thinking the same; he's got that cozy "friend explaining things that they're really interested in" vibe that Hazel does

[@hay_Z2021]

Tail concerto is my childhood 😩❤️ it was one of my FAVE games as a kid, (still is)

[@sarafontanini7051]

Tail Concerto's intresting cause its far more light hearted and cartoony compared to Solatorobo and Fuga, which are fairly darker with villains that are far less harmless, Fuga ESPECIALLY so. Looking forward to what you have to say about thse games once you play them :3

[@abandonedhope825]

Hey man, so I watched a little bit of this video and decided to go play the game and I just wanted to say it kicked ass and genuinely thanks for the game recommendation. Short but sweet unique platformer.

[@Lute01]

hell yeah dude

[@richterbellassi]

Hey, just wanna thank you for introducing me to this series. Currently playing Solatorobo right now and I'm really loving the charm of it. Had to sold my liver for a copy on Amazon. But grocery stores are so convenient nowadays, you can just get a replacement anywhere

[@Lute01]

lmao, respect

[@lrobin-is8dg]

this is one of my favorite comfort videos

[@skittles536]

Panta is why I live and breathe

[@Vtubears]

Solatorobo was one of the first games I really vibed with on the DS. Its got this honest 90's anime feel despite coming out in 2010 and that's just so endearing.

[@gabbylapierre7618]

There's something so relaxing and magical about your videos Lute.

[@saucy_tunes]

This game is honestly such a hidden gem.

[@ponpokointhedistance]

NEW LUTE VIDEO LET'S GO

[@Freak532]

One of my favorite KZbin videos

[@meowspark9]

the absolute mental boom you gave me with the dev history behind this game. I used to watch escaflown with my mom, watched my sister play this game many times, and have fuga memories of steel on my wish list, but never made the connection between these things. epic dude

[@meowspark9]

Oh yeah the inside of the iron giant is a core memory

[@Myrope]

Escaflowne! Oh man, that anime was so good. I love that Nobuteru Yuki did the character designs for that as well.

[@Klonoahedgehog]

The moment i heard Waffle's voice actor all i could hear was Luke Triton without the brittish accent so i made the VA connection right away.

[@ArvoTheBlueJay]

I love how this game and Mega Man Legends give off a Saturday morning cartoon or anime vibe.

[@anguset]

We got Fuga 2 baybee, the future is still bright for Little Tail Bronx!

[@Lute01]

Really excited for it!!

[@sarafontanini7051]

WAIT WhAT

[@anguset]

@@sarafontanini7051 they are barely advertising it at all, fans have to do all the shilling themselves 😭

[@NoseyOk]

Most underrated KZbinr Love the Soul Eater refrences btw

[@WhiteCresentKnight]

Playing Fuga and coming to this game where it’s not Caninu or Felineko, but dog people and cat people threw me for a loop

[@epicalexfurry4377]

Yeah it’s a translation thing

[@Warpostrad]

This game is so sweet and cute.

[@thesandwich15]

this is like the best tail concerto video ever thank you for making this🥹🥹

[@normhullhueman1129]

I had this on a ps1 JamPack back in the day and I loved it. Ever since then the name has been lost to me. Thank you for this unintentional dose of overwhelming nostalgia

[@Goozeeeee]

Hadn’t heard about this series until Tim Rogers recommended Fuga: Melodies of Steel. Happy I bumped into this channel. Hopefully you’ll be popping into more folk’s recommendations.

[@ColeFam]

This game looks extremely charming. Thank you for introducing me to something I never would have found otherwise

[@SussyPoster69]

You made me learn how to emulate PS1 games because of this. This game fucken rocks and you rock

[@astonquintanilla9301]

Please do more obscure video game commentary. It’s gold.

[@kmank84141]

This video has been in the back of my mind for years, and I found it today. Thought it was a fever dream.

[@justtakingawalk1555]

you're like a more laid back running shine and I love it

[@samuraikarasu]

If you want a game that kinda scratches this same itch it gives me some hard-core Tomba/Tomba 2 (especially 2) vibes. Also Brave Fencer Musashi! They don't have as many adorable animal people but they're still similar to this aesthetic. Love your videos as always.

[@Yanncki64]

Commenting just to say that I loved Dark Void too, hell yeah

[@whitewomangaming3615]

Great video. You deserve more attention and I'm sure you'll get it soon.

[@GokaiiRed]

The amount of effort you put into your videos is insane dude. Keep up the good/interesting videos.

[@spira-virgo5746]

Such a hidden gem on the PlayStation 1! I wished i had the chanced to play it when i bused to owned the console back in my childhood. Thanks for the awoseam video, my dude!

[@JammerRammy]

That was a really nice video. Always great to see Tail Concerto getting love

[@FoxeroVA]

Thank you so much for making this video. I love Tail Concerto from the bottom of my heart and I've been doing my everything to get it noticed. This game deserves the love it rarely gets, it's mostly nothing but people who refuse to play it because of the English dialogue. But I love the English dub, it improved a lot of the script in-game and made me love the characters even more. So much that I translated it and dubbed it to my own language. Tail Concerto is what I love about video games, art, music and FURRIES. There's so much you can do with them and this game does that. Again, thanks for the great video. I loved watching it. ^^

[@muhammadaliffbinmuhammadla7846]

37:25 Ah yes, I remember PS1 era where both horror and cartoon games had a lot of Canadian voice actors. Certainly had their distinctive slang. Tail Concerto is my favorite comfort game. Played this when I had a fever back then and by tomorrow I recovered afterwards. Nostalgic time.

[@icedtea8949]

Looks amazing for a late ps1 title

[@anguset]

Glad to find this video, and to see this game getting covered. Liked and subbed. From what you've covered so far and your recommended channels, I'm sure I'm gonna have a great time following your work.

[@Lute01]

yo thanks man, appreciate that a bunch

[@NotSoMelancholy]

Binged your channel. It’s fantastic. Darkvoid jet comment sold me

[@hallienowak3872]

i love your videos so much man

[@DJAbides]

Great video! Loved the Gigi Masin plug, I listened to a little bit of "Wind" and added it to my Spotify rotation. I'd already added "Serenity" that you recommended in one of your other videos. You make some pretty chill music recs, man. I'm really enjoying them.

[@tengu5949]

Yay, ive been waiting for some good content about this game since I played it some months ago, it deserves more attention. It's so cute and charming, it seems like the kinda product that would spawn a small but super dedicated fanbase. Cool video. I love the idea and aesthetic of the Little Tail Bronx series. By the way, the missiles you talk about at 44:20 can be grabbed and thrown back at the boss if I remember right.

[@NanaKyoto]

I feel like Tail Concerto would have been a game that, while I would have fond memories growing up with it, I'd probably be stuck not too far in the game, because that happened a lot with the games I played at a young age, sadly, I'll never know if what I say is true, as this was a game we missed. I nearly had a heart attack looking at the prices for the game on eBay, but I do hope this game could get added to the PlayStation Plus Classics Collection, because if we can get an unlikely return of the Toy Story 2 PS1 game, then we shouldn't count this out as a possible candidate.

[@snp27182]

Holly shiiit a Chad Warren reference.. we got ourselves an OG andy overhere

[@cryedge8532]

Love this game. Tail concerto so nice and fun.

[@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

Glad I wasn't the only one when it came to finding the character of Stare Pris to be interesting. Her personality is what intrigued me of the three in the plot. They're all cool though.

[@ravioli-bamboli]

I just found you this morning and your videos are great, keep up the great work

[@seraaron]

Oh snap! I had no idea Fuga and Tail Concerto were in the same universe, but that makes total sense.

[@Lute01]

Yeah, Fuga is a prequel!

[@sarafontanini7051]

Yep! Their tones are totally different! : D

[@kadnhart6661]

One of my most cherished PS1 memories, Tail Concerto is basically an unofficial Studio Ghibli adventure. Which is crazy, since the sequels are so much darker!

[@corq365]

Amazed to see somebody mention Dark Void; I felt like I was the only person who thought it was cool too!

[@Lute01]

It's a pretty average game for the most part, but that first mission when you get the jetpack for the first time.... peak gaming dude

[@NobodyQuiteLikeMe]

Holy shit. This is the game! I thought this game was a fever dream. I played it on the demo disc and thought it was the weirdest thing I had ever seen.

[@Lute01]

you should play the full thing, it rules

[@capscaps04]

If you are going to play fuga 1 and 2 prepare to cry a lot.

[@almac5446]

That's why I'm not touching it I already played nier

[@capscaps04]

@@almac5446 I still recomended them for you to play them. fuga 2 is much more lighter in the sadness than the first one.

[@emari44]

Really enjoying your videos, got recommended the Earthbound Zero video but checked out the other ones since I haven't played it yet. Keep up the amazing work!

[@nethilym]

I like the on going joke with these vids where anything close to Maria just goes straight into a SA2 reference

[@skittles536]

I really hope you do a video on Solarorobo sometime. It was just as charming and enjoyable as Tail Concerto for me, and I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently. I’d really like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@littlesporeling]

Good stuff, hoping to see more long-form review content like this in the future, definitely earned a sub from me

[@Lute01]

Thank you! :3

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

The french release is an anime (japanese voices, french subs). Careful with your anxiety, Fool-like people can, and will use it against you. Often.

[@dulceratoncita]

ahh makes me so happy to see people talking about this game!! this game is just full of charm and deserves more attention than it has recieved! also i was curious if you planned to maybe cover Solatorobo in the future?

[@Lute01]

I don’t think I wanna make any statements on future videos on this channel, I barely plan them out and I don’t like promising things, but I will say Solatorobo and Fuga are fantastic and if I end up gaining a decent following on youtube I would like to do everything in my power to make people give a shit about Little Tail Bronx because I adore the series :3

[@dulceratoncita]

@@Lute01 ahh that's totally understandable!!! Eityer way I'm just really happy to see someone cover this game! Feels it's a bit less known than the others in the series. I definitely love your style of making videos so I'll absolutely stick around and see what you come up with in the future!!

[@meokut3zui]

This game looks lovely. Games with simple, enjoyable story really hit me. You can check out Grandia, I think that has a similar vibe.

[@Gamertag-iz5pv]

i love this game

[@jamescorvus6709]

I didn't play Tail Concerto until high school back in the late 2000s. I've played this game multiple times since then and it never bores me. Its like comfort food. I've been trying for years to get the US version but its too expensive

Sir Lute, I hope that you’re able to review Skies of Arcadia… after this great video, you’ve introduced me to a world that’s often overlooked in gaming; cozy JRPGs/action adventures. Love the content!

[@hiphyro]

cool to hear about this game after I played solatorobo from a friend's recommendation, these games are so weirdly good yet hidden its such a shame barely anyone I know seems to know about them. definitely going to check out fuga too its already in my steam library. anyways youre pretty cool and based for this :)

[@Lute01]

happy you enjoy the vids! i definitely have a lot of games i wanna talk about, but maybe in the future i’ll branch out towards other things, i dunno yet! i’ll definitely just continue to do whatever i want, i think the videos will stay fun that way.

Having just finished Fuga Melodies of Steel, I'm here for this... and wondering if it gets as dark...

[@Glaceonics]

Honestly? Everything CC2 does is amazingly well done and of top notch quality. Their stories they tell are almost always so compelling and honestly? Fuga right now is their crowned Jewel and I HOPE the sequel next month delivers an amazing story just like the first. It's amazing to see their dedication of damn near 30 years to the Little Tail Bronx world with how despite their lack of success they have faith and PASSION for their work, a quality not many game studios have nowadays. I wish there was an easy way for me to experience Tail Concerto and Solaboroto but it's videos like these I can at least gain an appreciation for them.

[@Gamecubegal]

This really needs a remake imo. Not having the ability to control the camera hurts the game a lot. Also, might just be me, but the amount of time you got invincibility post-hit wasn't enough

[@vimbert]

Fuga and Fuga 2 are so good! Give them a try if you get the chance.

[@kydrafraznoir1964]

You did a good job putting together this in-depth review, Tail Concerto and Solatorobo Red the Hunter are good games and not bad for Cyberconnet2's first game, it's a shame that either of them sold well, and Namco Banbai has no hopes for these games or the Little Tail Bronx series, I did emulate Solatorobo Red the Hunter on my laptop and loved it the story was good and it was also deep, and I would love to go back to play it again, I would love to play Tail Concerto sometime, and I think the world of the Little Tail Bronx series is charming and the characters have personality and are charming and the music is awesome, and I love cats and dogs, I do relate with Alicia because I also lost my dad, and I know what it's like to feel resentment and I still do, there's a fan translation of an epilogue story call After That Concerto, and there's also a fan translation by 5benfive5 of a story called Kadenz Closing Melody where Waffle, Alicia, Red, and Elh save his mother Foretnoire Ryebread from the fascist Katez Empire and not only reunites with her but his father Gaulre Ryebread as well, you should look them up online and check them out there was a villain inspired by Adolf Hitler, and it predates Fuga Melodies of Steel, and it's sequel Fuga Melodies of Steel 2, and it's soon to be in development second sequel, both stories were written by Cyberconnet2, and I understand that the Little Tail Bronx series is Cyberconnet2's passion project, they should buy the publishing rights to Tail Concerto and Solatorobo Red the Hunter from Namco Bandai if they do want to remake both those games, and Waffle and Alicia make a cute couple if he ever realizes it, and the friendship they have is heartwarming and cute, Waffle himself is also relatable as he's too much a nice guy and well-meaning and not wanting to hurt anyone, and Cyan appears to be a bumbling idiot trying too hard to impress Princess Terria, and Princess Terria is cute.

[@captainnyan-nyan2005]

You know. The interesting part is that they had the game had low sales. Due to the invisible advertising. Which means. Bandai Namco intended for the game not to sell. It's not that it's a bad game. It because Bandai wanted it to happen

[@captainnyan-nyan2005]

Yep. They are way too cute of a couple. Waffle and Alicia. I agree on that.

[@DrRESHES]

I also haven't played FF7 classic, i got to the point where Jessie shows me the 3D map of Midgar and that shit is good, I was really engaged in the atmosphere of the game. that was in 2020 right before FF7 Remake and i still remember that fondly. edit: it's not that FF7R is worse i just play it and feel like the game is new. it plays. after some fun cool and funny moments i get an uneasy feeling that it has a charm problem, so i'm still stuck in ch.13. the game is overwhelming with money, but it's not what i like, or looking forward to, because there are some games that i never played but know them forever, but can't really play because they look too good for me, like The Misadventure of Tron Bonne, a game i know nothing but it looks too charming and i want it or Wizardry 8 or Crazy Taxi and more.

[@thewalrus511]

Interesting games don’t get money anymore, sadly. Lowest common denominator bullshit.

I'm playing the physical Japanese version I'm pretty fasanated with this game Even though this game never came out in my country
