I hope next time we see shesez, he’s a blonde toad with a green vest

[@asterglaceon]

I hope next time we see shesez he is a Gameboy with an unknown cartridge inserted into it

[@GabePuratekuta]

I hope next time we see Shesez, he's fully-modeled from the chest up.

[@swisserty]

Biomed chem engineer here, Just wanted to say seems infeasible I’ve been in this study and practicing for at least double the time and I don’t see that. Just another day for you to learn! Hate seeing misinformation spread. I’ll take your updoots

[@KodaLynnGAME]

​@@swissertywhat? what the fuck are you talking about

[@zkoopa4445]

I hope next time we see Shesez there will be extra sets of eyes hidden inside his head.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

i LOVE that the art team somehow made it look like they found the Old 3D models used for the original game & just touched them up

[@BoundaryBreak]

No sponsor this time so i can say whatever. Dude the audio recording was CURSED this time around. Took a whole day to record and edit. Then I find out a ton of it was peaked audio, clipped words, missing recording, weird stratchy stuff. It made me so sad because i know this vid will be a special one but i hope you guys dont notice too much. Tried to spruce it up. Anyways this may be my favorite video of the year. I mean how often do i get to take a game i loved from 1996 and in a weird way finally get to look at it from angles ive always wanted? NEVER is the answer lol. I freaking loved making this vid. and I hope it comes across for you guys too. Always reading your comments. Thanks so much for all your support and kind words over the years. Its the biggest highlight of what i get to do.

[@harperfriesen9396]

I thought it sounded great. ✨

[@herobrinesbestminion6766]

it's great! also..... haven't you forgoten someone, being of the 3 dimensional space?

[@Tatsh2DX]

Lack of culling might explain the random frame drops.

[@Cliffordlonghead]

Awesome video

[@DjCrispyFingers]

Still can’t believe this game is even real.

[@IIOver9000]

Feels like something that would only happen in a different universe ._.

[@BoundaryBreak]

Same dude

[@iamlucidess]

Chrono trigger remake when?

[@BoundaryBreak]

@@iamlucidess I need it yesterday and made with the Dragon Quest 11 engine

[@TheRealBobbleHat]

I can, the original wasn't really that special. Just a really good mario game on the snes

[@keithpope6288]

I would like to see Culex and his area explored, and especially the battle arena for Smithy's second phase. There's another Smithy head there and a good look around might help us learn more about him.

[@Corvidazed]

I believe the 'unused' blinking animation is for the sleep status condition. Most enemies actually close their eyes when it happens.

[@Terminated_Account]

Chihiro Fujioka said that he still has a desire to create a sequel to Super Mario RPG... IMAGINE!!!

[@seveneyes77]

I feel like the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario games are spiritual successors but none of them had the level of randomness and silliness of Super Mario RPG with the original characters.

[@ssmallwood127]

I am so ready for a sequel. The people who remade this game did a phenomeonal job with it. There is so much potential here.

[@yourresume373]

if i can see my boys geno and mallow again... i will be free

[@DIGITALDEMONXX]

I'm waiting for a secret of mana remake..or even a chrono trigger remake 🙌

[@Manas-co8wl]

As he should, as they all should as we all desire to see it

[@Fallatious]

For the shaman the reason they have "unused" closed eyes is even though the npc versions never blink, the shaman enemy that you fight close their eyes when they're defeated.

[@FissionMetroid101]

The hidden sky/clouds textures are probably used for the water reflections!

[@AzureRoxe]

The Johnny thing is the strangest thing in this game cause it's never explained, or even really implied, that Jonathan Jones is not a real shark and the remake makes it abundantly clear that at least the "head" is part of a costume.

[@Maholix]

As a long time player of the SNES version, I spent a lot of time looking at him and thinking it might be the case actually. I am glad to see it has been proven true, but now it brings up the question of how he earned it and why

[@lightninstriker10]

You can see that detail in the "original" if you look at his character render. So much about those original 3D models reveals so much about these characters, Booster has a lazy eye and that doesn't come across well in the sprites, for example.

[@goldenwing6560]

I'm theorizing it's some kind of powerup like the tanooki or penguin suits, myself. 🤔

[@BlindMelonLord]

he actually has a detailed explanation in his thing after you beat him in the monster list. It says something about him beating their former leader, so the crew looks up to him now.

[@JonnyAtma]

Those voices in your head? Turns out it’s blonde NPC Toad with a green vest.

[@CtrlAltDestroy]

Just a blender tip for deleting meshes really fast, select a face of the object and press L. Should select every connected face around it and just hit delete.

[@rivalmindss]

I never played the original Super Mario RPG, but you can tell this remake was very thoughtfully done by the team. it recreates the vibe of the stuff I have seen of it. it almost looks like they took the high res models from the original game to do it all over. it looks how your brain thought it might have looked as a kid playing it on your Super Nintendo

[@sharpester7277]

Developer Arte Piazza really delivered on this remake.

[@Dracobyte]

I hope this game can sell a lot so it can generate a sequel.

[@sgpiegp4rt831]

that's not really how games development works

[@Themacattack1209]

⁠@@sgpiegp4rt831It kind of does. Sure, selling well doesn’t guarantee a sequel if they never wanted to plan one, but selling well could create a reason to begin development of one.

[@thefancydoge8668]

I think the devs or whatever actually want to make a sequel, now its just a matter of how good it sells.

[@mariotheundying]

​@@thefancydoge8668 the rpg genre of Mario really relying on sells rn, fans really want a Mario rpg sequel, paper Mario to have new games with the rpg system of gaining experience, and Mario and Luigi to come back

[@TheRealTeddyGaming]

@@sgpiegp4rt831Overwatch 2 exists

[@Dakress23]

Man the amount of detail in this remake is nuts.

[@JaidynReiman]

That's easily the best looking classic Link model I have seen. I'd have much rather seen _this_ classic Link model in LBW instead of the one we got. Honestly if we were to get another top-down Zelda, I'd love a more fleshed out, properly built model like this (even if its not a full model, its clearly not chibified like LBW or LA) and have properly proportioned characters.

[@Terminated_Account]

This might be in the top 3 best remakes of all time.

[@GabePuratekuta]

Definitely one of the most faithful. Which didn't work out for Pokemon...

[@chezi34]

I’m pretty sure the toy convertible is only a convertible because the majority of car toys for dolls end up being convertibles so you can easily place toys in it So that’s actually good attention to detail!

[@lactoseintolerart]

This is my fav 3d model boundary break we've ever seen. Thank you for putting your hard work into this. This video really hits at the nostalgia part of the heart, but gets us inspired for the future potential of these characters!

[@kingbrettpro]

You forgot to show Peach using her Psych Bomb attack, it would've been cool to see her using that attack in various angles. I wonder if Peach has any facial expressions after throwing the bomb.

[@soulsolis3096]

It feels oddly satisfying to see what was originally a 2D sprite game into a fully explorable 3D game thanks to the tools provided, always love your content!

[@darkphantomime]

It actually was 'originally 3D' they just downscaled it for SNES when they released it.

[@capnjohn7455]

This was the most eagerly awaited Boundary Break video for me just because of the game’s viewing angle. The way this game mimics the SNES style with the camera movement, it feels like the backgrounds are just a flat image and not 3d models. Thank you for showing this.

[@Icedragon01234]

Wonder how they handled Czar Dragon phase change

[@nova338]

I absolutely love Mario RPG! This remake made me so happy. I remember all those years ago when the original Mario RPG boundary break episode came out too... We really have come a long way.

[@HybridAngelZero]

After nearly three decades, I still wasn't ready for that Johnathan Jones revelation. I love how many things are just fully modeled in this game, even though they really didn't have to be

[@Liggliluff]

"model viewer" aka Blender Press Ctrl+L when selecting polygons, to select all polygons of a specific type. You get to select type. Normal or UV are likely to give the expected result. Useful to delete, or hide (H), a lot at once.

[@Sprech41]

I'd love to see close-ups of all the enemies. Not necessarily in a video, I just love the enemies in this game and want to see them in full detail somehow!

[@bebopblue]

I wanted to see any detail on the Terrapin, since they're suppose to just be armored Koopa Troopas. The only variant we get of them are the Paratroopas.

[@grn1]

I just checked TCRF and it doesn't look like they have anything, at least not yet. I imagine it's only a matter of time before someone rips all the models and puts them out there.

[@-Teague-]

It hasn't even been out that long and the boundaries are already broken! Incredible!

[@lightninstriker10]

Was hoping to see Exor's battle with this camera, see if the different things his eyes do are hidden inside the model. Would be interesting to see how the game handles Smithy's transformations as well.

[@pick_nark]

Well I think I have a new favorite episode. The booster hill bit is insane.

[@06hatter]

I laughed pretty hard when Booster happily ran off into the void with Peach

[@jaimegarcia4436]

This was my first RPG game growing up, being in ESL as a young kid and having no internet, I never made it past the puzzle where you have to jump on boxes to answer a question about something found at the bottom of the ocean i believe? I'm hyped to play through this all over again, hopefully without getting stuck this time haha.

[@chuggaa100]

Pearl

[@RaiJolt2]

I never grew up with smrpg, but I was smiling with glee when the remake got announced, the fans are so passionate and I’m super happy for them

[@thedarkangelthe2]

this deserves a follow up, especially a certain new post game boss

[@GraveUypo]

it's been years and you still get surprised at things like good textures that you can't see ingame, or models that are fully modeled even though they aren't visible. you know, the modeling tools don't come in the isometric perspective... when you're MAKING the models, it would be way harder to make it culled from the get go. you just make a normal model and THEN cull it as necessary for the game. making a "high quality" texture is also probably easier than a good low res one.

[@bromothymol]

This remake is soooo good! It stays almost completely faithful to the original while adding a few fun things. This should be the standard for what remakes should be

[@Themacattack1209]

I do wish they added at least a couple new areas or rooms to existing areas that could extend the game a little, even if they were optional, but I’m still more than happy with this.

[@kevinlee7678]

@@Themacattack1209 And I wish they could have added in Drill Bits to the Speardovich scenario.

[@LightsJusticeZ]

This 24 minute video just flew by! Love, love, love SMRPG and so glad you got to do an episode for the remake so quickly. The models look fantastic in the remake. I think the best attention to detail with moving the camera was looking at the Yoster Isle map in Johnny's place that had the race tracks. Also Booster Hill being completely modeled is hilarious lol.

[@maxbetatron]

This game was the biggest win for true Mario fans.

[@zitrodivad]

yes! i was looking forward to this episode. i thought all the characters would be standing at an angle like in link’s awakening remake. but it’s nice to see they’re just standing normally

[@Booksds]

I was so excited for this episode seeing the various posts on the community tab and Twitter, and this lived up to it! Zoom-outs, close-ups, birds, and body horror: this is definitely a quintessential Boundary Break episode.

[@dannyprickle7312]

If you ever decide to make a part 2 of this, I'd love to see how the photo in Marrymore would look from the photographer's perspective.

[@matthewboire6843]

Never thought this game would be like this

[@daniellclary]

5:10 In the regards to the sails. This may or may not be the reason. But as a CAD drafter, I am accustom to doing changers per revisions. When changes require a complete redraw. I will put the original geometry to the side, and draw the new thing. This is just in case the customer changes their mind again, or they find out what I had originally was correct.

[@fuglydrawings]

Thanks for covering this stunning remake! 😊

[@BasVoet]

Watching this from the Netherlands, your show literally knows no boundaries!

[@Alex-95-Gaming]

I love that you're having so much fun with these :)

[@VTRcomics]

Dude... As a long time fan, that section of Booster's Hill legitimately shocked me, like jaw dropped. It was like seeing an animal you've never seen before where it all fundamentally makes sense but doesn't follow the logic of any related species. Can't believe KZbin is getting screwier with the notifications but I'm glad I still managed to catch this episode fresh excluding the clips you put on Twitter. This might even be my favorite episode of the year too given how much there was to see, especially Link's low key breathing animation that was separate from the blanket moving. Not only that, it's getting me excited for the effort and quality of other Nintendo remakes, so now my mind is racing with how fun an episode would be of The Thousand Year Door.

[@ESquadProductions]

Great work on this video shesez! Just seeing how high quality all the textures are shocked me! We need a first or 3rd person over-the-shoulder mod for this game!!

[@ProtoVee]

I haven't wanted to see a Boundary Break episode for a game as much as I did this one in a long time, and it did not disappoint! Amazing stuff!

[@Zenlore6499]

It’s actually insane that this was made! Thank you for sharing the secrets of this game!

[@LoliconSamalik]

Nothing gives me more existential dread than seeing outside the world of a video game

[@thetophatguyandroid5959]

Most of the zoom outs are amazing, they are like an artwork like a big mockup you would see irl

[@Final_Starman]

This is my first time experiencing the game all the way through and as a huge paper Mario fan I absolutely love it!!!! Gotta get around to finishing the Mario & Luigi series.

[@TheQuashingoftheTub]

Dude, the inplementation of random details on Johnathan Jones is so freaking clever lol

[@ajaxx664]

Zooming in with the camera really shows how beautiful this game is.

[@maxxjapan619]

I we GOTTA see 3D Culex! Mario RPG is STILL my favorite Mario game, and seeing this on Switch is so awesome. And I ADORE the remastered soundtrack.

[@chris_is_here_oh_no]

Excellent video, these were some great finds!

[@BoundaryBreak]

Glad you like them!

[@picklebond157]

15:41 You pretty alright, Shesez. you pretty alright

[@davestrides]

amazing video, so happy to see smrpg content from you 😭💕

[@Lost77]

I had this game pre-ordered and beat it after my first weekend

[@hamzazain3578]

the first ever video I watched of you was the SMRPG classic boundry break, literally a few days after u uploded it, good old timess

[@akiiame_]

15:45 I love that they went the extra mile for little details like this. So cool

[@ZaaZoJo]

Would love to see Smithy final form room see if there is any secrets

[@tykat12]

I have been looking forward to this game for ages, and your Video!!!

[@kenji6492]

I’d love to get a better look at the final postgame superboss

[@cerisejaxel9636]

I’m going to just leave a like for now and come back to this once I finish the game for myself. I just started it and it’s so beautiful!

[@Drshnaps]

I'm really impressed with how much of this game's assets are modeled on all sides. I really thought there would be a lot of empty space when viewed from behind because, frankly, why bother? The way it's done looks almost like it would work if someone were to create a mod for the game where you could view it from a 1st person or behind-the-back perspective.

[@ToadPilzkopf]

This is the best possible remake we can get and I love it!

[@aaww1010]

I’ve been waiting for this boundary break on the remake

[@Dragonsamuari]

For that hooded mage model you zoomed in on, I believe the "closed" eyes are used when the enemy version is hit or is casting a spell.

[@RaditzSayian]

Another crazy video. Peak content. Can't wait to see what you're cooking next.

[@achordaday]

The reason why some parts aren’t textured but still modeled can be explained easily. 1) Not having a texture saves memory resources. 2) Having the model is important for light mapping purposes. And while it’s true that you could create your lightmap and then have that wall not render while keeping the previous lightmap data, it would be too much hassle to keep track of. Lastly, when creating something like a house, it’s easier to create the whole model rather than leave out parts of it. Hope that helps clear certain things!

[@pokefriend123]

There's an awful lot of information hidden behind the scenes of this RPG remake, maybe Nintendo likes Boundary Break and leaves surprises for Shesez!

[@ThisUploaded]

Immediately being greated by floating angry yapping Mario right out of the gate, I'm sold.

[@TheLeviathan1293]

7:14 I'd love an A link to the past remake with that model.

[@Gofawu]

For the cloud, it was maybe for having dynamic cloud shadow on the ground

[@JustJulyo]

Imagine telling myself 10 years ago they would Remaster this game in 3D Unreal

[@thebeanpit]

Another great video. Love everything you do, thank you. I really appreciate what you do.

[@antshield]

Darn, no waterfall! I would have loved to see inside the caves. Amazing video. It's unreal how cool this was.

[@BrendonGillespie]

Fantastic job on this video! One place that would be interesting to check out is Midas River course. Thanks again!!!

[@N.Paradise]

I didn't realize just how cool the cliff side that Bowser's Castle is sitting on looks!

[@quinnfarris]

Going back through and watching all these videos that KZbin didnt think to recommend to me smh. Been watching this channel since the beginning!

[@ddgaming9717]

I'm so glad you did this ❤

[@frostyfingers9282]

the 'unused' sky texture over Tadpole Pond is actually there to provide a sky reflection on the water

[@bombkirby]

The shaman at 11:00 closes its eyes when it dies. Its not for blinking.

[@capnjohn7455]

I would like to see both Culex fights along with the Midas River part going down the falls and the caves for it. Also the Smithy fight would be amazing with the different heads along with the game’s end credits.

[@asiansensation_8093]

That link model is amazing

[@AxZelAnimations30]

This is really satisfying in terms of Game Development side. We got the Original and Remake dissected and we're seeing a 1996 Pixel Game in its 2023 3D Version.

[@jammydw]

I loved this video so much but I NEED to know how Weapon's World looks out of boundry! Please make another for the remaining part of the game!

[@bebopblue]

Booster walking endlessly off into the void is very Booster of him.

[@TylerNovakYT]

Can't believe you got THE Super Mario to do the intro for this

[@Bayx92]

4:34 I think the sky texture on Tadpole Pond is intended for the water's reflection to show a sky being reflected!

[@keithleracc]

I was hoping you'd show what it looks like when Geno lifts his hat to use an item, oh well

[@Hollowolfjas4014]

Always wondered back in the day if Jones was actually a dude wearing a shark costume. The old official art kinda gave that vibe and you could just about see the eye inside the mouth. It's still badass that the guy chose to wear his dead shark nemesis as taxidermy like a Viking wearing bear skin.

[@Srcsqwrn]

This was wonderful. Thanks so much Shesez!

[@PMyangdoo]

I wonder how Culex looks like in boundary break

[@markusszelbracikowski956]

Really cool performance and all but MAN the animation was top notch!

[@kurisu7885]

Regarding the Magitek armor from FF6, both that one and the concept art get used for mounts in Final Fantasy 14. There's the Magitek Reaper, based on the concept art, that you get for completing the A Realm Reborn story, and based on the sprite work is the Magitek Predator, which you can get in the Ala Mhigo dundeon in the Stormblood expansion.

[@Dradeeus]

I always knew that the glowy bits inside Jonathan Jones were eyes but I never thought of the implications that the leader of a group of sharks is something in a shark costume and you never find out what it is.

[@BlueAizu_]

Commenting for the algorithm, and also to say they did an excellent job remaking Super Mario RPG. They could have taken the easy way out and just ported it to NSO, but they truly went above and beyond.
