Apologies for the audio balancing issues! We had some microphone problems and balanced everything wrong. We will do better next time!

[@rufio281]

When I watch YT, I expect things to not be perfect. But I do expect a genuine, unfiltered (not too much at least) experience just like this video. Great people, "cool" collection! ❤

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for saying so 😀

[@DevinGThatsMe]

lol I legit commented and then realized your pinned comment addressed it xD I had my AirPods high then 2minute 33-35 seconds it got loud and I went "woah buddy!" lol

[@EliMeadAZ]

It was crazy watching on surround sound 😂😂 all good!

[@DevinGThatsMe]

@@EliMeadAZ lol man I had the AirPods in, I alllll the way in the kitchen doing dishes and it got me out of nowhere xD

[@cicerothenekoknightplaysall]

Just showed my girlfriend this video have to say she has been binge watching ever since 😂

[@JRPGLife]

😊

[@SuzuiChan]

i love that the switch game cases are so small, its easier to collect as they take less space :3

[@ThePortjumper]

awesome game room, you guys are lucky to find each other and share a cool hobby

[@jae42619]

Gonna need to hire an armed guard to guard that room. Robbing it would be more profitable then bank robbing.

[@SteveSwanson88]

Do they have home owner's insurance that also covers the value of the game room in the event of a fire or flood?

[@JRPGLife]

Absolutely

[@dksretrocloset]

I’m sure they have both, but for everyone else, especially new collectors. Home/renters insurance and some kind of catalog of your collection, a spreadsheet, an app, a video ^^ are all things people with larger collections should keep up with.

[@superdave3093]

“Cool” 😎 lol… Ya know, Elise said cool a bunch too and I heard “the couples that say cool together, stay together.” Cool collection guys! LOVED the FF8 stuff. 👊👍😁

[@JRPGLife]

Haha absolutely!

[@mjdf122]

JRPG Life Tour

[@Eagleknight815]

Excellent Room Dan and Elisa! Thanks for sharing!!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@RwnEsper]

So much neat stuff! The MegaTen collection alone...❤ What a lovely, COOL space! The number of consoles seems a bit excessive (if only because I think more people should have access to these), but if I had the space and funds I can't say I'd be better. 😂

[@JRPGLife]

We like to ALWAYS have one charged 😅

[@GamersManuel]

Simply Awesome!!!!!

[@alexi111]

Love it! Love how clean and organized you two keep it!

[@DoubleTGameHustle]

Absolutely beautiful room! 🔥 well done!

[@Joe-Rad]

Beautiful collection! Gonna need a bigger room! ❤ The handheld stuff is nuts!

[@positivevibrations5103]

Wow amazingggg collection thanks for sharing!

[@8k60]

FF8 fan club for life!!! 😂😂❤

[@JRPGLife]

Hallelujah!

[@yournightmare9999]

R you play ps4 physical edition ?

[@MrNineties]

Wow, didn't recognize you guys in those throwback photos! Awesome tour, and some insane gems. Bravo! :D

[@JRPGLife]

😊

[@my_pal_dragon]

I love this so much… such a beautiful collection, so much passion. Having said that, when games go back on the shelf backwards or out of numerical order, my senses squeal… but seriously, beautiful curation. #goals

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@Daniel3488.-]

Super cool collection!... I'm a 90's baby so I can relate to some consoles , I first had a super NES then sega gen , Looking back on all the gaming consoles I probably spent a MINT... I can't list em all but damn was it fun LOL , I'm 35 now and still a big kid at heart. You showed Fusion Frenzy!!! I had that game too. I'm still on my Xbox One 10 years old and still going strong , I bet Microsoft never envisioned that!!!

[@JRPGLife]

Yes! Love hearing someone else talk about Fusion Frenzy lol. Thanks for watching 😀

[@ZackMuffinMan]

Awesome!

[@joakimnilsson261]

Thanks for sharing - this video is so inspirational! You’ve got some pretty spectacular stuff for sure!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@Dani28R]

Great video to watch while drinking a nice cup of coffee on a rainy weekend❤

[@JRPGLife]

😊

[@Phoenix22344]

You two are the best😊

[@JRPGLife]

You are too kind! 😊

[@Twistedredlab]

Awesome video guys! Always look forward to your new videos.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@WavesNGames]

Shout out to the DI! Solid thrift stores. This was a really cool room tour.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@Werewolfman2000]

Sweet room! Love JRPGs too! ❤❤

[@cicerothenekoknightplaysall]

Another great tour and video 🎉

[@asqwert2121]

@38:53 AHHHH she put the game backwards lol Amazing Collection

[@JRPGLife]

Hahaha

[@user-tv5hl8zu9s]

I'm grateful to you for make this videos you always been nice honest person

[@mechaotakugamer]

I love the many 2ds consoles you guys own. Also jealous, you have Dot hack quarantine. Would love to see a video on your most obscure super uncommon games in your shared collection

[@midgetsparkle]

I love the tetris'd game console boxes in the closet

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks! Lol 😅

[@Blazemanau]

I love to see a tour of your anime/manga collection i imagine its pretty sweet❤

[@blake3one6]

I’d love to see a top 10 rpg video from you two

[@JRPGLife]

Maybe someday 😊

[@Eagleknight815]

Hahahaha. Counting the Cools with you guys. 23 Cools in 20 minutes….nearly a cool a minute 😎

[@ThyGreenKnight]

Each time Dan says "cool", it is justified.

[@ChrisRoewe]

Awesome meeting you both yesterday at socalgaming expo!!! Was pumped when you told me this would be uploading today. Put the pin you gave me on my board :)

[@JRPGLife]

Oh awesome! Thanks so much for saying hi!

[@retroislandboy9708]

I have to say this video was pretty darn COOL 😎

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for saying so! 😀

[@joeyisabsb1]

The best part about this video wasn't your collection, it was finding out you two knew each other in high school and are still together.

[@patrickrodgers861]

I just finished final fantasy 9 are you proud of me. We’ve talked about it just took me 25 years.

[@JRPGLife]

Great job!

[@harrysweep5846]

I have Revelations GB I remember finding it at a pawn shop for like $10 few years back.. nice high school pic guys!

[@JRPGLife]

Haha, thanks so much! That's a great price for Revelations!

[@secretminiboss]

Cool Video! You guys must have put a lot of love and care into your collection. It's even cooler that yall did it together! Super wholesome, love it.

[@JRPGLife]

Thank you for your kindness 😊

[@lggsretrofinds4461]

cool room tour guys

[@kazsassin]

This video was "so cool". 🤣. Messing you guys rock and it's nice to see local PHX metro collectors representing.

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

As someone who keeps a single portion box of cheerios on my shelf, I approve of the ham. I think those are my favorite things in collections. The little random personal items that have no reason being there. The cheerios action figure, the amazon penis ball, the Taiwanese sasperilla can (It's funny because sasperilla is a uniquely american plant. So the fact that this plan was exported to make a soda on the other side of the world, only for some Asian market to import that soda BACK to the US brings me endless joy), the offbrand PUBG crisps

[@user-go3jf7mh9d]

Dream of mine a full ps vita collection

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

I got the Persona 4 Dancing vita CIB as my way of getting into vita. I love that the Vita is not region locked. Didn't know the PS3 was also.

[@damiengunit9788]

Wow my 3rd favourite game room on KZbin 😮some rill amazing GGG-unit scores!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😎🤝to the moon

[@LEONthemercenarie]

Can't blame him for saying cool that many times, nice room tour!

[@JRPGLife]

Haha thanks so much 😀

[@Georg3Nada]

I hope I find a partner who I can share my hobby with like this, very cool game room

[@Retromicky82]

Gotta admit that is a COOL room though the ff8 shelf 🤔 😅 . You have some fantastic games .

[@JJUniverseChannel]

Awesome Game Tour video guy&lady 😎!

[@GamingtheOtter]

I want an in person visit! 😱

[@Heroice18]

Looks awesome 🎉

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@obsessed_druid]

Love these longer vids great collection ❤ stay safe

[@JRPGLife]

You as well 😊

[@thelastdragon5551]

You guys inspire me with a vision of what a game room would be for me. Simple white bookcases. 😍

[@Eagleknight815]

FF Pixel Remaster - I guess I was one of the lucky ones because I did buy it directly from SE that morning.

[@JRPGLife]

Jealous!

[@mariotaz]

Great room!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for saying so 🙂

[@SuperRetroForce]

What an epic collection!

[@stevefadrosh6506]

Tonberry lol, greatest FF character, except for maybe Cactuar

[@bwagz8966]

Passed right over the Neo Geo Pocket Color

[@threeswordssama]

Such an incredible game room! Love the way you guys have displayed everything.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 😀

[@threeswordssama]

@@JRPGLife I also really enjoyed FF 13 but never finished it because I was playing it on my sister's PS3 and she moved to NC and took her PS3 with her 😭

[@Woodmanclassics]

I see why you guys want a full size Moogle statue 😅

[@JRPGLife]

Hahaha

[@thecrackingcouple3338]

Mystical Ninja for N64 is my favorite game for N64. I still need to get a boxed copy for myself but amazing collection guys!

[@JRPGLife]

Such a fun game! 😀

[@Eagleknight815]

Before I go into the video, I hope you guys are having a blast in Cali at SoCal! Safe travels home and looking forward to all the footage! Now, lets take a look at y’all room!

[@JRPGLife]

We are having a blast! Thanks so much!

[@thepickinpreacher]

out of all the channels you guys definitely have the type of stuff I collect. Cant wait to meet you guys at SEGE!

[@JRPGLife]

Looking forward to meeting you!

[@BOXERCRAZYBROWNCLOWN]

Hella nice gameroom, very organized and clean, I live in yuma and I have to dust while I dust !!!

[@shanenice5380]

Phantasy star was my second rpg.

[@ResidentSpice25]

I had no idea that a NES Cart fit standing up in an Alex drawer. Thanks for the tip!

[@JRPGLife]

Happy to help! 😀

[@jrpgwife]

They won't fit with dust covers however 😅

[@Nintendo853]

FF 8 Is the best game in the series! Awesome video guys!

[@JRPGLife]

Hail FF8 and it's greatness!

[@MaxaMillion711]

That FF8 standee 😱

[@patrickrodgers861]

You guys are very much full setters. I’ll never do another full set after I finish the vita. I’ve been working on it for 6 years and I’m tired.

[@JRPGLife]

Haha that's how we feel as well right now. Maybe we will do Dreamcast after 3DS is done though 🤔

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

Honestly, I'm not a big Resident Evil fan (I enjoy the games, but I never played them as a kid. Mostly been getting into the remakes an gonna play 5 cause I remember that being a fun dumb shooter) and I'm not a big figure guy... But Resident Evil action figures is something I could see myself collecting a few of. Just feels like action figures of resident evil are so natural.

[@JRPGLife]

We totally agree! The RE figures were kind of our first big step into figure collecting 😅

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

That ff13 ps3 controller is pretty cool. They exist on ebay, but are like $400+ Something I didn't know I needed, and is pretty cheap considering, is the ff13-2 ps3.

[@JRPGLife]

I love it so much!

[@jasonshouseoffunandvideoga7169]

Not going to lie, thought my phone had finally played it's last vid, the audio made me think it was time. All good though, great set up with my favorite part of any gameroom is the stories associated with the collection. There's a lot to choose from but I'd have to say my favorite part was the resident evil figures. Don't get me wrong, the collection is amazing and well organized. Just something that stood out to me. The metal gear figures are awesome as well, still on the hunt for liquid snake. Great job with the vid. ☝️🙌✨️

[@JRPGLife]

Haha thanks so much Jason! Sorry about the audio issues 😅

[@undamned]

Wonderfully presented, as usual! Also, Dan with the surprise fave shmup reveal of DoDonpachi. My all time fave shmup. Though the explosions in the Saturn version are rubbish for some reason 😭

[@JRPGLife]

They are so hard to navigate! 😅

[@DLeif-bk3ye]

wow

[@djears]

Dope set up 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@davidtobin1]

Great video! Love the room tour.

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much!

[@7thangelad586]

Looks like an extensive collection! But there seems to be audio issues :o

[@caseofquartz7366]

No Amiga stuff? The room and collections are awesome. It's great to see that you have partner that is equally passionate about games and collecting. My wife doesn't give crap about games but at least she tolerates my hobby. To be honest I largely checked out of collecting, since we have 3 kids as well, so other things took priority, but whole hunt and excitement are something that I miss a lot. Awesome guys, thank you for amazing videos!

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much for saying so! We don't have any of Elisa's childhood Amiga stuff, but maybe we'll pick some up again someday 😀

[@jrpgwife]

My brothers have the Amiga games in their collection 😊

[@TheColehabo]

take a shot everytime when he says so cool challange :p

[@rjbishop6128]

Dan is simply where Cool originates, and everything around him becomes Cool by extension ❤

[@JRPGLife]

Haha I wish 😅

[@atomicred7766]

YEA Vita! I still play mine regularly, I just hate that physical carts are getting so expensive. I did get a copy of Persona 4 Golden it could still be had new for $20 though. Also yes to the "Genesis Tower of Power"

[@JRPGLife]

Awesome! Yeah we love the Vita 😀

[@spencz-]

Cool video! Cool games! Cool room! COOL!

[@JRPGLife]

Thank you 🤗

[@deathmog91]

you guys should look into get Reusable Fastening Cable Ties for your cables. It make so much easier to keep all of the cable nice and neat.

[@aaronkamrat6409]

Cool video! Don't think I've seen a full game room tour yet from you guys. Seen a lot of stuff that interested me. Seen a few things I haven't seen before

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@MaybeHarvey]

If there was ever a video to have a 1.025 cpm (cools per minute) it’s this one. I factored in one you missed at 53:44

[@JRPGLife]

Haha thanks so much!

[@steviefreakinc]

Great collection. I mean COOL collection 😂

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks Steve 😅

[@Eagleknight815]

You got time for Trails but that backlog keeps growing the way Falcom is busting out games and NISA is catching up in translation.

[@MrDirtysnowball]

This video was just cool.

[@spbcorex]

Yay, finally!

[@GrigoriRasputin]

Ominous pick-up in 2030... new house with an entire 1,200 sq ft for gaming!

[@JRPGLife]

Oh man the DREAM!

[@terry4161]

That room is actually what heaven looks like 🤩 also ff8 is the best one in the entire series 🫡

[@JRPGLife]

Thanks so much 🙂

[@GamerLive247]

Was great meeting in at socal. Goddam youre a tall dude lol

[@JRPGLife]

Lol depends on my posture 😅

[@PFX.]

I think the audio is only coming out of one ear? Or the music to speaker audio mixing is off? Something doesn't sound right :/

[@indy5280]

I noticed that too. Some clips may be messed up

[@JRPGLife]

Yeah we messed up with the microphone balancing, we will do better next time, sorry! 😔

[@PFX.]

@@JRPGLife no worries, it’s actually spurred me to watch the previous year’s room tours. You guys are a good watch!

[@Ryan_TheBold]

I love LOVE that Mother 2 record. I couldn’t preorder that one fast enough! Which color variant did you get?

[@JRPGLife]

It's like a barf green lol

[@Ryan_TheBold]

@@JRPGLifeha! that’s perfect!

[@antonyjames4698]

man.. that smt/persona shelf doeeee😍

[@JRPGLife]

Elisa's favorite!

[@RaysResale]

awesome man

[@robertgreblheo]

Too cute 🥰 kawaii

[@immitationstation3369]

Absolutely fantastic game Oasis! Is JRPGlife going to the Too many games convention in Oaks PA? I go every year and its incredible

[@JRPGLife]

Unfortunately not, it's just too far from us, sorry! But we will be at SEGE next month 😀

[@immitationstation3369]

@JRPGLife Thats a shame I always hoped to run into you two. I was also hoping to trade you for a rare Working Designs item (its not a game) but I don't think you want to go down the rabbit hole of WD pins and variant discs anyway haha

[@JRPGLife]

Haha we will likely buy those kind of things when we see them 😅

[@immitationstation3369]

@JRPGLife Its a popful Mail pin. I got it with the game years ago (when the game was about half the price as it is now) and the pin came with it. I see listings online for the other pins like Dragon Force, Iron Storm, and Albert Odyssey but I never see listings for the popful Mail one. Maybe ill go to every booth at the convention and see what I can get for it like yall did with the cardboard Crash lol

[@JRPGLife]

Haha that's so awesome

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

Glad someone got use of the portal. I just can't see the use of it, I mean, yeah I can remote play my playstation.... but can you? Remote play already hurts, and I frankly have so many games I could just play on my steam deck natively without input lag that I really can't see the need for such a device. Side note, have you looked into getting a steam deck. I'm not sure how into PC gaming you are, but even if you aren't, it's a great way to get started. And the steam deck is just perfect for JRPGs. I've been playing through FF6 on it. But I think my favorite is Trails of Cold Steel. You can pretty much save wherever in it, so it's great for a brief pick up and play. This doesn't take into account, however, that you can just pause and suspend the steam deck for a nice long time while you do something else. Also a great way to play Persona 5 Royal now that it's on PC. I encourage you to get one. I think you will find that you have to get another so you each have one.

[@JRPGLife]

We bought a Steam Deck last year and play it every so often. It's a great system 🙂
