Put in as much passion in making this doc as did the original developers in making JSR. Much appreciated.

[@kayisthey]

The highest compliment. Thank you, sincerely.

[@jayempreem]

One of the best Documentary I've seen.... There's a game that needs documentary: The trilogy of Rival School 1 and 2 and the Project Justice on Dreamcast. Don't change the formula. This is your style. Keep up the good work. 🤝

[@kayisthey]

Thank you so much!! I'll certainly look into those games and again I appreciate your feedback and support for this video style.

[@Finding_Arcadia]

Dude, again, INSANE quality!! You are an absolute legend with this sort of thing, i love these documentaries and all the effort that goes into them, absolutely killer

[@kayisthey]

Thanks for taking the time to check out these documentaries! So glad you enjoyed them! ✨

[@Remix916]

This was well worth the wait. I loved every single second of this. Hearing from the creator of JSR/JSRF really appreciate the games even more than I have now. Love the info and insights on the games. I'll watch it again when it fully releases to the public so you can get my view there. Keep it up with these docs!!

[@kayisthey]

So glad you enjoyed it as much as I loved making it! Ryuta Ueda certainly had a lot more insight on the origins of this series than I could have ever imagined. Thanks for all your support! You have my gratitude 🙏🏼

[@sofiakilljoys5378]

[@kayisthey]

thanks so much!! 😊 so glad you enjoyed the videos! i'm sure i'll be revisiting jsr in the future. ✌️

[@krisgab3684]

HAHAH LETS GO KAYYYYY HAPPY JSRF DAY 🎉🎉

[@sausagesausage]

Absolutely phenomenal! Well done on this! It's a shame Rudie Can't Fail by The Clash never made it into the game - cracking song.

[@kayisthey]

Thank you! We can always listen to it on our own while playing! But yes, it would've been right at home on that soundtrack.

[@PabloKMorillo]

So much jet set art in this i haven’t seen before, is there a gallery of it all available online? It’s still wild there hasn’t been a jet set art book put together yet.

[@kayisthey]

Sadly, a lot of the original art from that era, like concept designs, weren't preserved. So only so much of it exists. As for the art in this video, I don't believe Ryuta Ueda posted these anywhere yet but he might post them on his twitter in the future. Thanks for watching!

[@PabloKMorillo]

@@kayisthey oh so it was shared with you specifically for production of this video? I was just curious of the sources of the concept art, they came from Ryuta directly?

[@kayisthey]

@@PabloKMorilloYeah, they were sourced directly from Mr. Ueda during the interview for this video.

[@mandarinamala6513]

Thank you!

[@foenixlord]

Thank you for making such a good video about my childhood favorite games

[@mbe102]

[@pr0fitis0nline]

JET SET CELS ARE EATING SO GOOD RIGHT NOW!

[@okplain]

Thanks for making this! Super interesting watch, even as someone who never got to play these titles.

[@kayisthey]

Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback! ✌️

[@shleep3928]

Production quality is insane. Kudos to your effort fr

[@kayisthey]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@xXCrimson_BoltXx]

Love the video buddy! I'm just a little bit confused toward the end of the video. It's said that there isn't any mention towards a new redition or remake for JSR but SEGA announced a week ago that a JSR remaster/remake is in development. Maybe you missed that? Just thought you'd should know.

[@kayisthey]

You are correct but Ueda was only approved by SEGA to speak about the first two games so we kept this documentary's focus on his previous work and the conceptualization of those games. Hopefully, I can speak to him in the future about the new game(s). Thanks for watching!

[@MrMastrmonstr]

damn thx 4 this can't wait til the new game drops BUT im still waiting for my BRC physical game and vynl

[@jamiec2023]
