Kotaku Played Chocobo Mystery Dungeon (With Tim!)

[@skyedogg]

Hey Tim, your comment about not being able to forget led me to reading your essay “What We Might Mean When We Say a Clock is Wrong”. My god, that piece is such a powerful and amazing work of art. I just wanted to say thanks for writing that.

[@JackCross3]

Oh man I just went and read this and boy it has messed me up for the rest of the day.

[@dicegameuchiha]

If you dug that you should read his piece just like hamburger; exactly like hamburger. It's on Tim's medium.

[@skyedogg]

@@dicegameuchiha Thanks, I will read that later.

[@dongvermine]

Just saw this comment and read both pieces mentioned. Absolutely incredible work. Thanks for sharing.

[@LivingGuy484]

Where could one find his essays? Edit: I found the first essay, and I am incredibly sad now

Everyone who is interested in a physical copy letting you know it it has full English support if you order one just got mine today. Both switch and ps4 support it.

3 years later and I still want him to finish the costco dad point

[@rencosbjd]

Dang, I want to chill with my Chocobo son in a dune buggy. I love how this is the Final Fantasy equivalent of a gateway drug for dumbo babies. That semi-sentient yellow bird is just so aggressively adorable.

[@nickthaskater]

"The kind of music Ronald McDonald would listen to in the shower" - Nailed it.

[@kotaku]

i was instantly very confused by my comparison, because with hair like that i'd think ronald mcdonald is a nighttime showerer, and this is definitely Morning Shower Music. unless he's on a whole nother shower music level from us plebs, in which case he listens to like aphex twin in the morning and this at night to wind down. which, come to think of it, he probably would, because all know that only evil lurks behind a clown's eyes anyway yes these are the thoughts i edit out before i can speak them lol

[@nickthaskater]

@@kotaku Can't unsee the mental image of The Ron giving himself a rub a dub to Windowlicker... Nor do I necessarily want to. Thank you for this precious gift, Tim.

[@RobAryeeArc]

I love how Tim is dedicated to answering the important questions. Who: "I'm Tim Rogers" What: "You are watching Kotaku.com and this is Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon" When: RIGHT NOW Why: "I was born stupid, however I will not die hungry. Video games forever." How: "Kotaku... dot com"

[@Gooong]

I honestly have no idea what his stereotype of a 'Costco Dad' is. The only thing I got is that they want you to look at your bag and they shop at Costco.

[@Shannovian]

I definitely use the word "tad". It's pretty common where I am from... just slightly up the coast from New York, where I believe Tim says he lives.

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

57:10 - "i am just EATING these goblin fists. I'm GOBBLING these clubs"

[@JJW410]

There's some top jokes in this one. Ronald McDonald bathtub music, Paul F Tomkins guy. Some comedy goodness right here.

[@stalksprout]

"I don't like that they're rusty, but I like that they're +3" has a really nice canter to it. I know that's like the most mundane sentence of the video but I dunno, rolled well.

[@vishiousbacon]

Been looking in the wrong places for a job. Never checked a dungeon...

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

2:38 - "The kind of music Ronald McDonald would listen to in the shower" This made me do a sizeable genu-LOL

[@Mysticgamer]

I cant believe they remastered this game. I hope we can get a sequel.

[@felixludewig]

The Chocobo sounds exactly like Snuggly the Crow from Dark Souls

[@ericsaybounkham1844]

Playing this game side by side Tim! has set my Friday off.

[@demantim]

Any game using the FF8 boss music has exquisite taste.

[@cyril3793]

There is some truth to the Costco father phenomenon. My father was/is one, and would commonly get my attention by calling me "son"

[@Fauxnel]

Love the video dude! Keep up the good work!

[@harrisoncarothers135]

"Teletubbies taking a dump" is now my favorite new alliteration.

[@larscasteen]

Sort shocked at how hot and heavy the cutscenes come after the tutorial

[@akaRicoSanchez]

When I hear Oblivion I also think about a movie, but an older one: Living in Oblivion.

[@Erk1234567]

Having yet to get to the actual gameplay in this video, these redone versions of my favorite FF songs are selling me.

[@kotaku]

yeah, i figured showing the cutscenes was of maximum importance. at its core it's Just Another Mysterious Dungeon Game, so i think they're leaning into the atmosphere as the selling point. i mean, they must be, because WOW that music is great isn't it

[@duhmeister]

Hi, I'm here for my guilty pleasure.

[@MariKurisato]

HELLO.... MR ROGERS.

[@Zorlac]

I'm in the south. Lots of people say tad to represent a little. Also the character that said it IS a cartoon villain. SO what's the problem?

[@notoriousquinnb]

Can there be more Tim playing Chocobo Mystery Dungeon? Please?

[@Starcat5]

I can't decide if I want to import the physical release (which has an English option), or bite the bullet and finally get a Micro SD Card for the Switch. ...meh. I'll just play the Wii version until there is a sale.

[@zapturk]

I love the Paul F. Tompkins comparison. lol

[@shaneos2727]

We as a society do not deserve the magic that is Tim Rogers. Was he an egg baby himself perhaps?…yes it’s beginning to possibly make sense…

[@Ashamedofmypast]

Tim Rogers was birthed by mountains as an obelisk and weened by the winds until finally taking his first breath and animating into the video game expert that speaks to you softly in the video

[@kochcomic]

Churro or cheese slice, little buddy?

[@kotaku]

EXACTLY dude the last time i was at c-co gettin a cheese slice on my cheat day the dude in front of me kept asking his "buddy" what he wanted and his "buddy" just kept on nonchalantly, in ignorance, slappin both palms down on the metal counter. it was hilarious. the guy was holdin his buddy up by the midsection, so that he could eyeball the cashier, and he just got fixated on two-palm overhand slappin the counter in lieu of thinkin about snax it was, on the one hand, hilarious; on the other slapping hand, i was pizza jonesing like i was from indiana, and i AM from indiana

[@PJladd95Gaming]

Hey Tim, have you played Mystery dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for the SFC? I'm sure you'd love it (if you haven't played it before)

[@kotaku]

lol yeah i mention it (sort of a lot) in this video!

[@PJladd95Gaming]

Technically the video stream is usually coming from ...something....googlevideo.com s so you are just visiting a web site that's youtube.com

sounds to me like you qualify for a costco membership

[@kotaku]

seriously see the commenter above talking about "cheese slice or a churro" for a little anecdote of how much fun it is for an idiot like me to encounter Wild Little Buddies at costco lol

[@JackCross3]

I wonder why they remastered a wii game rather than porting any of the games that never got localized? Kinda disappointed cause I was interested in this, but don't really want to replay the game.

[@SmorgasLord]

Tim!

[@ManlyMcBeardFace]

Did this get a physical release here in the US?

to be honest, it's just that i've been reading about three books a week since age nine. it's all about books! i keep waffling as i enter middle age, as to whether books or films are The Best Art Form, though these days, with the new york subway's catastrophic and frequent delays, i'm up to more like four books a week, and i'm thinkin, "yeah, it's probably books"
