[@austinskywalker92]

No kidding. I didn't think Nitro would start this so soon and we aren't even in October yet. Then again, all the Halloween stuff pretty much starts going at full near the last week of September so there's that.

[@azirul9311]

Halloween special is always something to look forward to when it comes to nitrorad.Though not getting to hear the "Halloween special" is a shame

[@TrueNoirChloeMoko]

It wasn't on the Echo Night series, either, and that one was a Halloween special, as well. I am definitely sad that one of the first horror games I've played outside of the OG Resident Evil games did not get the Halloween Special. But then again, I found this guy the same day he loaded Fatal Frame 2's video as I had previously looked up the Great Hall Scene for my sister as she was getting together an Occult Horror Villains panel where we went into details about some of the villains behind horror games.

[@Ajehy]

Interesting note: this game series is more horrific the more you know about Shinto. To put it in extremely rough and broad terms, Shinto is concerned with purity, balance and life. All these dark, deadly rituals that involve spilling blood and mutilating people while still using Shinto imagery? It’s like preforming a human sacrifice by stabbing someone with a sharpened cross and invoking Jesus. By contrast, the protagonists preform a much more proper form of the religion, appeasing angry spirits and generally trying to set things back into balance... as well as some major Buddhist influence with the exorcism angle.

[@ExValeFor]

nah human sacrifice with a sharpened cross sounds about right for abrahamic religions

[@Ajehy]

@@ExValeFor - I was using an example more of my readers would likely know, but just like in FF, the more you know about the religion the worse it is. Sacrificial animals, particularly lambs, have a long tradition in Judaism (not people though, don't believe the Blood Libel madness), and Jesus is called "the Lamb of God" because he died for the sins of humanity. He is literally the last sacrifice, you never need to make another one. Doing a human sacrifice in his name is backwards and nonsensical to most believers with a brain who have actually read the Bible. Now, I know there's probably some psychos out there who would do this. People use religion to justify all kinds of horrible things, regardless of the faith's actual teachings. The point is just that there are symbols that are more likely to disturb people based on cultural and religious background.

[@RePhantomz]

@@ExValeFor Pinning sacrifice only to abrahamic based religion is rather short sighted. ironically human sacrifice is more wide spread then you think. From aghori hinduism sect practice, the recorded ritual of rus viking burial, mayan sacrifices, human sacrifice in celt, hitobashira in shinto, and tumbal (similar to hitobashira) practiced in south east asia, etc.

[@SonofSethoitae]

The exorcism is particularly Buddhist, the Camera Obscura uses Siddham mantras to exorcise ghosts, probably from either Tendai or Shingon Buddhism. Not sure which mantra exactly though.

[@raphaelledesma9393]

Indeed it seems strange to me now that you mentioned it. Shintoism and Buddhism which are Japan’s major religious influences don’t typically do human sacrifices. Shintoism’s rituals focus on purity as you said and they invoke the use of water, salt?, ropes as barriers. These rituals surely would be anathema to Shinto sensibilities? Ah btw, the Genesis story where Abraham was about to sacrifice his son while God at the last minute stopped him was supposedly meant to be a sort of prohibition against human sacrifice which the contemporaries of the Jews supposedly did. I’m unsure if you know the Wicker Man, it’s a film from the 70s where a devout Christian policeman goes to an isolated pagan island to find a missing girl. In the end, he was set up to be the human sacrifice for the island’s failing produce and he rightfully calls it out as murder.

[@robertmoorhead2406]

"Project Zero" comes from "Zero" being "Rei" in Japan, "Rei" also being the word for "Ghost". Yu Yu Hakusho had a similar pun with the main character's "Rei Gun" attack, which was lost in translation.

one of my favorite things in the franchise is how they often go to great lenghts to explain the backstory of almost every single ghost; how they got to be like that after everything, it's really really cool and makes them even more memorable, much like what happens after you analyze the symbolism of silent hill monsters

[@Jill4ChrisRedfeild]

[@GoldieTamamo]

The 'Based on a True Story' regards a Japanese urban legend surrounding supposed disappearances and dismembered body parts discovered in a mansion that actually exists on the outskirts of Tokyo. Calling it 'based on a true story' might be a bit of a stretch, but the in-game locale of the Himuro Mansion actually has a real-world counterpart! EDIT: (I've since investigated the previous claim I made, and am willing to apologize that I've found no clear evidence to the existence of the mansion, outside of a few tourism blogs online, so whether it actually exists is still up in the air. Sorry. Bad reporting here. x.x)

[@maxonwolf5841]

Is there a direct location?

[@GoldieTamamo]

​@@maxonwolf5841 Purportedly. It's an urban legend, to which photographs are attributed. You would probably have to go there and question the locals to ascertain its veracity.

[@GoldieTamamo]

@@gothic2fans233 The subtitle of "Based on a True Story" was specifically added to the NTSC cover of Fatal Frame. As to the source of the urban legend? It's possible Makoto Shibata invented it. Whatever the case, it's sort of taken off on its own, not unlike a creepypasta.

[@retrogamernat8701]

I actually have a funny story about how Fatal Frame 2 scared me the most any video game ever has. I was playing FF2 with my friend on Xbox around 15 years ago. It was about midnight. I had gotten to a part where I could explore the dead village and had gotten lost. I came across a bridge that connected between two houses. One of the houses was locked at this time so I was basically lost and didn't know where to go. I took out the camera to look around and see if there was any hints. After about a minute of looking around, my controller shakes violently, a blaring, distorted, low tone becomes nearly deafening loud and suddenly, a ghost of a woman with a twisted neck appeared right in front of me and killed me near instantly (I was low on health). My friend and I screamed. My dad runs out with his gun, scared for our lives. He sees us playing a video game and immediately demands us both to go to bed at this point. Good times lol

[@rukahazuki6650]

The twisted neck woman scared me so much too!! I never really afraid with other ghosts in fatal frame 2. I really love Itsuki,the white haired boy.

[@Rosedaughter]

My first time playing Fatal Frame I was babysitting my Goddaughter. She was asleep in the crib behind me. I walk into the room with the blinded ghost and she starts making this gurgly little growl (which my husband had kindly taught her). Of course all I hear is this death rattle noise behind me in the dark, and I turn to see her eyes peering above the bumper, ghost-lit by the tv. At that point I'm like Nope. That's it for tonight

Crimson Butterfly is easily the best of the series from what I've played. Would kill for some HD remasters, but I think this series is just kinda lost to time at the moment.

So if the person is laid out, the blood represents the limbs that are torn off, and it's why it also (mostly) looks like those limbs/parts aren't there.

why is there roleplay

[@jeffnussbaum716]

@@KageMinowara I fear ghosts roughly as much as I gear aliens, angels, Bigfoot, and Satan. None are real. And only fools believe things without supporting empirical evidence.

@@jeffnussbaum716 I bet you're real fun at parties.

[@joshhale9355]

I'm new, but I've been binging your content all day long. Fatal Frame still gives me flashbacks of pure terror. *also ghosts are real*

[@Sweatygumbo]

He is only 10k away from 200k we gotta make that happen! Share the vids.

[@arialien7854]

AHHH finally the fatal frame series!! I've been waiting for this! It has huge nostalgia factor for me cuz it was the first horror game I've ever played and I'm so glad you're finally covering them

[@cringeLuna]

Im still surprised i havent heard of lost in vivo from nitrorad, that game seems like the perfect type of horror game from his many horror games reviews ive watched. If he havent already, he really should give it a try.

[@TheAarontheblackmage]

So happy you're covering this series finally! Fatal Frame 2 is my Silent Hill 2, so I can't wait for the next episode!

[@nazonougami1818]

When it comes time to review "Fatal Frame 2", are you going to include the Wii remake as well? I'm also surprised you didn't mention the XBox version of this game, as well as the endings and how they are obtained. (Dependent on your gameplay difficulty setting, for this one and number two.)

[@agamaz5650]

Yeah sucks

[@agamaz5650]

Digital Foundry would mention everything professionaly in detail

[@andresflores3468]

2 years ago i asked if you had plans on reviewing this series, glad to see that the day finally arrived

[@caiocem]

Cant wait for comments on Fatal Frame 2 soundtrack

[@TijuanaFanduber]

Man, I saw that you posted that you were almost hit by a hurricane and even with that problem you still give us a great video, thank you man!

[@eldritch-tailedfeydeer7320]

Nitro Rad: Ghosts aren't real. Ghosts: Are we a joke to you?

[@edgyemogirl666]

Just the other day I was wondering when you'd get to this series, and I am not disappointed. The Chills reference gave me a good chuckle too.

[@sebastianoserafiniingiappone]

The Japanese voice acting isssss so much better!

[@pomoswitch]

Wow, anche tu sei qui?

[@sebastianoserafiniingiappone]

@@pomoswitch siii mi vedo spesso i suoi video sono anni che aspettavo la sua recensione su questa serie

[@cloud-lbc]

yes!! finally a Fatal Frame video. I love this series so much, really appreciate you talking about them

[@thes7984]

YES!!!!!!! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it and I know, I know, I know I love Nitro Rad

[@Lambodera]

So happy to see you reviewing my favorite survival horror series! The first game in the series is legit the only horror game I have ever played which I then had trouble sleeping after playing it, so it made me smile when you mentioned how it actually scared you, too. :) Also, if you beat the game on Hard mode, you get a different ending where Mafuyu actually leaves with you, but this "good ending" isn't the canon one.

[@Wolfbane382]

I think you'll like the later ones much better than the first one. Fatal Frame 3 is my personal favorite and I'm excited to see your thoughts on it. Also, you might want to go back and refresh your self about Miku and her storyline about her mom. It'll make sense once you play 2.

[@bunsmasterbunny]

Wolfs Bane 4 has nothing to do with Miku’s mom.

[@Wolfbane382]

@@bunsmasterbunny Woops! Yes you are correct. I could've sword there was a character in 4 that gave her the camera. But I was wrong. Sorry about that. >

[@tamisaki]

Was so excited when I saw this in my subscriptions! Thoroughly enjoyed your review of the first game of one my favorite series! I look forward to your reviews on the other fatal frames!

[@nimbusshooter]

"Ghost aren't real" sure... I'm just waiting for karma

[@katrose5179]

Deso Lark Maybe there’s a ghost behind him named Karma. ;)

[@Unsupervisedcat]

that made me turn the video off XD

[@jeffnussbaum716]

Karma is also not a real thing.

[@agamaz5650]

Bro if ghosts exist they are invisible and would never hurt you

[@cloudstrife4534]

SOS Ranger ...Why? That's just silly...

[@jorgegutierrez8588]

Your videos are such a treat to come back to from college

[@RayShadow278]

"That reminds me of how you can take pictures of those ghosts in Metal Gear Solid" ... the What in MGS????

[@Madjo-qj2ge]

MGS2 prologue if you use camera on some place,you can capture a ghost

[@Gaz_3]

You know I was waiting for you to make the Chills comparison and i'm so happy you did.

[@mikagu5487]

give us Fatal Frame V for the Switch

[@agamaz5650]

I'd be happy with 1-4 on Switch

[@agamaz5650]

1-3

[@blindgamingplays3678]

A remake of FF2 on ps5

[@ibuj001]

Your wish has been granted i believe.
