Farland Story (8) Kyoushin no Miyako - The last Farland Story game! (for Windows 95, not PC-98)

[@menhirmike]

19:22 That's exactly why I watch the videos, *because* I'm not going to play those games, but thanks to your channel I can still experience them.

[@ChigusaSanjouin]

1000% same

[@tempestfennac9687]

Same here (I'd never even heard of the series before I saw the first of these reviews).

[@vacuumboots]

Same here. But I also watch just about every release from this channel so I'm not a good indicator of what will get more or less views haha

[@Vulpas]

@@vacuumboots same lol

[@grimnir7749]

Me too!

[@raziyatheseeker]

Ah yes, the return of the most missed character in Farland Story: reviving alcohol. But really, I'm glad you covered the finale. I've been keeping up with the Farland Story game reviews. A shame they didn't include the protagonists from from 6 and 7, but it's cool they had some prominent side-characters instead. The return of not-Indiana-Jones was cool. Despite the UI weirdness for converting the systems over to Windows, I'm glad that the actual challenge presented made this one fun to play.

[@BasementBrothers]

I think it's great that they gave the side characters their chance to shine! Many of them weren't even shown in the opening sequences in 6 and 7. Indeed, the return of the reviving alcohol was the best part! Thanks for watching, as always. :)

[@notmyrealname977]

Vodka

[@jerensteinbear]

Honestly, I care less about the specific game than I do the information about the game and how it is presented. One commonality between all creators that do content like this is that the content is way better when the creator is passionate about the subject, so I'd say keep doing videos about games you're passionate about regardless of whether you think it might get a few less views.

[@ealain7600]

Usually a lurker, but real talk just wanted to say that I'm very hopeful for the continuation! Your way of presenting content is half of the charm of this series for me, I kinda got used to these vids at this point and really invested. So It's a bit sad if we won't see the conclusion :(

[@Kingshadowac]

19:18 That's a shame, it was fun learning about an RPG series I knew nothing about before I saw this channel.

[@nazgulsenpai]

Agreed. I had never seen a PC 88-98 in operation, nor seen the majority of these non-Falcom games before finding Basement Brothers, so its like learning about the formative RPGs of an alternate universe -- endlessly fascinating!

[@Novapoid]

I just want to say that I saw all Farland videos precisely because I'll never play them. It was very fun to experience at least the essence of each one through your very well executed presentations.

[@SuperSupersoda]

I have watched all 8 of your Farland Story videos because I, for one, want to watch 8 videos about a series I've never heard of (before I watched your first video on it) and am probably never going to play. I watch because this channel is really interesting, and your content and mode of presentation are so good that you make it interesting.

[@SwannyTheMike]

It's a shame more people aren't watching these videos because I really enjoyed learning about a bunch of games that I'd never have given a second thought to without this series.

[@DKarkarov]

You would have gotten more views if only the duck was in all 8. That said, it has been a pleasure watching this series of game videos and it is very confusing to me why your viewers wouldn't be on board. Keep creating this fine content, a new basement brothers is always a treat no matter the game.

[@BasementBrothers]

Ironically, I originally had the duck in the thumbnail for Farland 4 and it did terribly until I changed to a more orthodox thumbnail. "My viewers" seem to be generally on board, but sorry, to succeed on youtube you have to also court other random viewers, not just regulars. Thanks for watching the series, though!

[@Eyetrauma]

I’ve really enjoyed the Farland videos FWIW. Unsurprisingly your presentation style helps make them interesting and ngl the worlds the games depict and their retro aesthetics really endeared them to me. Also, and this is just a consequence of my being a MIDI enjoyer, I’m a little sad knowing they had a whole new platform to explore and went with CDDA 😞

[@BasementBrothers]

On this one I was totally ready to hook the Roland GS MIDI module up to the modern PC through USB and see what the MIDI sounded like vs. the built-in MIDI on my system, but alas it was not to be. Thanks for watching, as always, and thanks so for the support. It really helps and means a lot to me!

[@tjams3]

@Eyetrauma Luckily, the two Farland Saga games released after this return with MIDI compatibility

[@BasementBrothers]

@tjams3 They do? That's great to know!

[@goatbone]

19:20 Hadn't heard of Farland before coming across this channel and am never going to play them but am glad to have watched every video.

[@tsukino_mahou]

It seems strange that these would be the less viewed videos, since, like other commenters here, I come to KZbin for games I'm never going to play or don't know anything about. I never got why anyone wanted to hear someone talk about some NES game they've already played and a thousand others have already talked about. Personally, I played the two Farland Saga games, and started watching these because I knew they were related but don't have copies and never played any. I have a couple of working PC-98s, but not the space to set them up or the time to play all these games, and having you go through them all in order has been great.

[@BasementBrothers]

Awesome! Hope someday you have the space and time for some PC-98 funtime! Regarding the low views: I can often manage to sell a video about a game people haven't heard of with the right thumbnail and tagline. (My "The Scheme" video got tons of views!) Videos about sequel games tend to be a harder sell, in my experience, and definitely most people aren't gonna click on the eighth video about the same series.

[@kainme1901]

After your expansive coverage of this series I'd love to see a company license and port these to modern platforms. Could sell them in bundle packs like they did with the Mega Man collections on modern systems. I can dream can't I.

[@drowningin]

Yeah this channel has gotten me to try a lot of older games, some bad some i really liked like Valis. That series has every version of every game compiled together. It’s great because once they do that once it can be easily ported going forward. They won’t get a ton of sales but it will be sales over just piracy

[@Unquestionable]

Yeah I've definitely had the same thought and would jump on that in an instance. I know it's not out of the question given some of the recent releases, I know the first two Cosmic Fantasy titles recently got that treatment (and I ordered a physical version because have to show that support).

[@ShadowWolfRising]

I mean, we have been getting a bunch of these Japanese PC RPGs ported lately.

[@Unquestionable]

Just want to tell you that I've been loving the Farland videos. Love all the videos to be fair but you've brought me a piece of childlike wonder that is so rare to experience these days. These video, no matter the topic, expand my horizons and make me a fan of things I never knew existed or only had the faintest idea about.

[@Just.Kidding]

4:50 - Oh no, not the "Fufufufu" laugh! That's basically "Mwahaha"! Now you KNOW he's evil! Conversely, the "shishishi" laugh is how you know who the wily, lovable protagonist is.

[@KLegyyn]

So, Windows 95 Paradise? . .

[@GranMaese]

I may never play these games, but I certainly became a fan thanks to your videos!

[@Dawwwg]

I really enjoyed your Farland series !

[@ShadowRune]

I really enjoyed these, I watch these videos because I will never play these and I like going through video game history

[@menphris]

Aw man, I was hoping you would cover all of those games, exactbecause I never heard of them before you talked about it and, not knowing japanese, someone talking about it is pretty much the only way that I would get infos about it. But I do understand your decision. You have to do what's best for your channel to keep it awesome as ever. Who knows? Maybe after you end your PC-88/98 games? We can only dream. Excellent video as always! Thank you so much for your work!

[@0x44_]

Just wanna thank you again for doing the (near) complete Farland series. I think you're ahead of your time a bit as not many know about these games, so it's a bit of a niche audience currently.

[@Tr3vor42532]

This game exhibits why i dont like a lot of early windows games. They traded built in convenient ui elements for "hey look, windows is cool" pop up windows that are a pain to deal with and dont match aesthetically. Makes it feel cheap.

[@BasementBrothers]

Exactly. Guess people were less sick of it in 1996.

[@Tr3vor42532]

@@BasementBrothers it was the hot new thing, they wanted you to know they were using the latest tech, whether it was good or not.

[@notquitee]

@@BasementBrothers The novelty certainly blunted the annoyance, but even then it was clear that, say, Castle of the Winds had an awkward Windows interface compared to its DOS cousins like Angband and UMoria.

But when MacVenture did it, people loved it

[@nazgulsenpai]

Castle of the Winds, Mordor: Depths of Dejnol come to mind. Great games, and seemed novel at the time, but plating them now is fighting with the odd Windows interfaces.

[@NimrPanther]

I'm glad you finished the series! You could say you've completed your own personal FarBasementLand Story. I definitely had a great time watching (and rewatching) the whole series, letting me get a tiny taste of what it would have been like growing up with these games. Looking forward to whatever else you tackle next.

[@Xpert74]

Thank you for making videos on all these Farland Story games - this series was not on my radar at all prior, but I now want to give them a shot, so I appreciate learning about each one here :)

[@papermariottydfan1]

its a shame that these videos aren't as popular as the others as its what got me watching your stuff and really enjoying it a lot. I am a huge fan of any strategy and tactical RPG's (thanks advance wars, shining force and fire emblem) and these videos have given me a insight into a series I would really enjoy. so here's to your next fantastic video and keep the old Japanese PC content coming

I do enjoy these videos, good research and a clear window into what was the past. Some day more people will watch them.

[@axelprino]

Really liked watching this series, I would have never learned about these games' existence if it wasn't for these videos, so thanks for covering them and going the extra mile and also covering this one despite not being released for the PC-98. Also, it was nice to see the return of the reviving alcohol, watching you pour the stuff all the way up and beyond has been a funny running gag :)

[@Antedithulian]

Crazy to think you got through the whole series in the end, so glad you did though! As always, awesome video!

So this is the end of this alcoholic Farland Story journey. As always nice video, informative and funny. As a fan of finding out about obscure games i would certanly watch videos about rest of this series, but i understand why you want to end this on here. I would waiting for more videos about old Japanese computer games and don't drink too much vodka.

You do a great job narrating and showcasing the experience. Not sure I'll ever get to play them all in this life, but but nice knowing the overview since I love the PC-98, the era, anime, and all.

[@Cyrus_Nagisa]

its a shame these dont get as many views, I loved watching these, have always seen Farland Story, and wanted to play them, but most dont have a translation. (Well until recently) This is a series I feel would have done decently well if ported over to the SNES and with some QoL tweaks

[@jacethomas5562]

I loved discovering the farland games through your channel, and hope to eventually see the rest!

[@flumphflumph6021]

Thank You for the Farland videos you have produced. At first, my impression of them was "vintage rpg maker games" with very nice Art covers, Posters, Floppy Discs/CD Roms and sometimes a Mouse Pad but it's grown on me with time as I could sense something authentic and charming about them. I'm glad you mentioned the Sega Saturn games (yes, 2 of them) as it gives me some hope that they'll get a fan patch someday (the Saturn Homebrew Community is pretty driven to get these translations done). Anyway, I look forward to seeing what other games you'll talk about as I think there's still quite a bit of "still safe for youtube" titles you can explore.

[@ggbetz]

Have been watching all of these, and have the pcfx title. It makes sense why you wont be continuing, but its been a wild ride! Thanks for making this series accessible. Looking forward to the next obscure game you review!

[@statesminds]

More Farland Story! Let’s gooo. I’m glad you decided to do more of them even though not on PC-88 or 98. I hope you’ll even do Saga and others tbh haha edit: aw you said you were gonna stop. Hopefully some day bc this was my favorite series you covered and sad to see it end

[@Deathy2D]

Thanks to all those Farland videos, but unlike you said I'm watching these to get to know series I never heard before. So I hope in the future you decide to make the videos for the rest of the saga even if they don't do that well in views.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

Bummer to hear these Farland videos don't get huge views. I hate that effect - like, why do people always only want to hear about stuff they ALREADY know about? Especially if people like other Japanese strategy/tactical RPGs? Here's a new retro one you've never heard about that you can discover through these videos! It's crazy to me. People can be lame. I've loved learning about these, and I look forward to a return to Farland on the channel someday, but I'm also excited to see what other obscurities you can shed a light on. Plumbing the depths of the PC-x8 systems, and the Neo Geo, always seem to yield some great videos here on Basement Brothers

[@BasementBrothers]

Watching just my first Farland Story video as sort of an overview of the series is a good option I can recommend, but watching ALL of them is asking a lot. I can often manage to sell a video about a game people haven't heard of with the right thumbnail and tagline. (My "The Scheme" video got tons of views!) Videos about sequel games tend to be a harder sell, in my experience, and definitely most people aren't gonna click on the eighth video about the same series.

[@beanburritos6393]

Thanks! I definitely don't have the time to make any lengthy patreon exclusive videos in addition to the public ones I'm already making for the channel. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[@DracMazoku]

That was an amazing series of video to watch! Thanks for the history lesson! Before it, the only games I knew about were the 3 on the Saturn (Farland Story gaiden and the 2 Saga, so only games you will not be covering lol). Thanks to you, I now have more context as to where everything began :)

[@ladinokrow]

Great video as always. Also, I loved the TXK jumpscare lol

[@plasticflower]

Ah the devs really made use of Win95s built-in UI features like scroll bars and pop-up dialogue boxes. Maybe it seemed modern in '96 or when the game was first released? Or maybe it was just that much easier. I dimly remember playing a Windows game or two in that style, with the choppy animations and everything, but it didn''t seem very enticing even at the time.

[@BasementBrothers]

Yeah, it seemed modern and possibly even "cool" to use the default Windows 95 UI at the time.

[@Thinaran]

What, the Farland videos aren't popular? But I'm watching this channel specifically for these kinds of videos of games I don't know (although I first came here for Trails).

If I were going to play these games, I probably wouldn't watch the video, so it's nice you made it.

[@f_t_b2238]

Man, that transition period to Windows 9x was *rough* on so many companies x.x - it really feels like there's this wonky mid90s period where everybody was just trying to figure out how to get things to work, followed by a slew of remakes in the late 90s. Menus in particular seem to be a large sticking point. It's a very interesting period and i wish it was more preserved, but given how interfaces like this shook out i understand why it's tricky - despite this game turning out ok in the end. You can sorta "feel" the porting frustration the creators must have been experiencing.

[@BasementBrothers]

Yeah, definitely. Can feel their pain. They talked about the growing pains when switching from PC-98 to Windows in the anime 16bit Sensation. Nowadays without nifty tools like dxwnd and Borderless Gaming this and many other early Windows titles are basically unplayable. This game can't even repeat the music tracks on modern Windows without something like dxwnd to emulate the early CD player protocol.

[@farsilv]

[@BasementBrothers]

That's a good point. This one does sound a lot more like the "orchestral" style I heard in Farland Symphony, and what I've played of Saga. Makes sense since this is where they switched to Ichio.

As an RPG fan I'm the right audience for this, but I'm not sure "people who are fans of RPGs AND video game history jumping at the chance to watch videos of games for formats that weren't even released in their homelands" is a large audience... still, it was neat to see them to the ol' "call back to previous games for the big finale" trope, but I wonder why only the latest games were chosen? Mosy popular? Easiest to slot in? Or where they in fact designing those games with this games plot in mind?

[@BasementBrothers]

From reading the story, it seems that at the very least they were planning on tying the games together in some way since the 6th game. They're still building to some big reveal even here in the 8th one, probably in the second Farland Saga game.

[@lupinzar]

I understand why the PC-98 versions have minimal frames for animation, since those games can be played from floppy disk. But they are still decent given the hardware's limitations. The battle animations for this game seem a little worse, which is strange for a game of this era and platform.
