Terranigma, ActRaiser, Illusion of Gaia & Soul Blazer | Complete Quintet Retrospective

[@tipulsar85]

To be honest, the errors went by fast enough that not many noticed.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

@@tipulsar85 I never received a complaint about them, and I missed them on my first spot check on various parts of the video, but once I heard them I couldn't even stomach watching the rest of the video. And this was after nearly a week of review and corrections, just one last-minute mistake messed up everything. Lesson learned.

[@Darmalarm777]

Excellent work. Again.

[@lonewolffang]

It's all good. I remember enjoying Illusion of Gaia and ActRaiser 1+2 but I still kick myself for not getting SoulBlazer or playing Terranigma.I never knew how Enix was founded because I always thought it was a founded company. Great video and thanks for the hidden tips in ActRaiser. I never knew actions made more worshippers and earthquakes made better infrastructure.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

@@lonewolffang Yeah I didn't realize how that worked until I replayed it again. Its overall effect on the game is fairly minor, but it's cool to see one side of the game talk to the other in that fashion!

[@noiJadisCailleach]

Some of the gameplay concepts and design here are WILD. If they came out and advertised these games today, the internet would be on fire.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I do feel like a lot of the 1990s games had incredible ambition, but couldn't always stick the landing. I think the indie space today is carrying that spirit for the most part, but a lot of games nowadays are simply "[Game You Like] but _____".

[@NachtKaiser666]

Quintet is the definitive "gone too soon" dev. Not only was it founded by the original Ys team, another legendary series in and of itself, but they released some of the most memorable and underrated titles of the SNES. I really hope some dedicated fans tackle the project of translating the missing Quintet games because they do breathe passion and originality despite generally being B or C grade games budget wise. Thank you again for this retrospective into one of my favorite devs!

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Thank you for watching, and remembering this special studio!

[@remixisthis]

Terranigma was one of my favorite games as a kid. It really deserves to be rediscovered. Fun game with a cool development mechanic and surprisingly emotional ending. There was only one annoying boss fight where you had to hit a certain level to do good damage, but amazing experience

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I know the boss fight you're talking about, and I think I showed it on screen when I was discussing difficulty spikes. She's super annoying, and can kind of soft-lock you if you're not careful, due to the level threshold system. And she's the only time you really need to use magic during a boss.

[@standcontractdelta8120]

I plan to replay it. Luckily for me I forgot a lot of it including the ending so I can rediscover it. Although I remember clearly Bloody Mary, the wolf scene, and that goat scene where the female goat proposes that you eat her dead husband to survive. Amazing game.

[@standcontractdelta8120]

@@Indigo_GamingI guess you mean Bloody Mary? I loved that whole castle, but I was a kid when I played it and that was my first impression of Spain, and it stuck with me that Spain is a place of horror lol.

[@Kenichi2002]

when you talk about "Bloody Marry", its funny that the most Gamer of Terranigma, forgott at this point, you do have Magic. Mostly because at the most Bossfghts, magic has no effect. At "Bloody Marry", Magic HAS an effekt. so even if you not doing a BIG grindphase before fighting her, you can here use the "Atom Ring" and kill her easy and fast.

[@MegothJagome]

You don't need magic for this Boss fight nor do you need to grind to a certain level. The problem lies in the weapon that you obtain in the castle of Toronia. The Ice pick. As not many people knew back then, including myself, the weapons in Terranigma happen to have an elemental effect. In this case, you guessed it, ice which Bloody Mary has a resistance to. If you switch to the weapon you obtained least before the Ice pick you do remarkable damage in comparison to before. Give it a try and slap yourself in the face like I did when I first heard about this. :D

[@Robahue]

Terranigma... such a wonderful game. The music, the visuals, the cutscenes... the ending. Beautiful. It was the first videogame I saw it as art. And Illusion of Time as it was named in Europe, was also magic. :_)

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Both are amazing experiences, and I still listen to their soundtracks even today.

[@salokin3087]

The beloved and forgotten rpg trilogy, wish they got more love

[@Indigo_Gaming]

It seems that they got a lot more recognition years after they died than during their height of success. I don't think they (as a studio) were a household name back then, only their games were known.

[@temper1337]

@@Indigo_Gaming A lot of things aren't appreciated during the time they come out unfortunately, but they gain a ton of recognition and love later down the line when people reevaluate their perspective. It's especially true with movies. John Carpenter's the thing is one of my favorite movies of all time and it's generally considered one of the best horror movies, but most people hated it when it came out. Especially the critics, you would think it was one of the worst movies ever.

[@hieioni3354]

[@temper1337]

@@hieioni3354 The practical effects made the movie age like wine too. They look extremely well done even by modern standards and look genuinely terrifying. I think critics played a huge role in the movie not being as liked since people seemed to trust them more back then. These days you can have critics hate a movie while the audience all loves it and vice versa. I rarely ever listen to what critics have to say.

[@hieioni3354]

@@temper1337 Rob Bottin was so talented to do all the practical effects for the movie. The defibrillator scene is legendary and iconic! And yeah, I think you're right, people listened to critics more back then. However, The Thing was released almost at the same time as E.T. and people preferred the friendly alien version to the horrifying one. The Thing stood no chance against E.T. P.S. Yes, I don't listen to what critics have to say nowadays either! They always hate hate hate for no reason at all.

[@Rugerfred]

I just finished playing Terranigma and I'm in tears like a child. An incredible game, light years ahead. When I think about how many games from that era have become cult classics without having a tenth of the brilliance and vision of this title, I go crazy. Do yourself a favor and play Terranigma. An exciting experience with a strongly human soul awaits you. Upbeat, bright, and not afraid to be bittersweet at the same time.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Awesome. That's an amazing experience to complete something for the first time. This was really a time of pure artistic visions, a rarer thing nowadays with big-budget titles.

[@Rugerfred]

@@Indigo_Gaming indeed it was! Thank you for this great video about Quintet. I am also very curious about where Tomoyoshi Miyazaki is now, but I hope he's OK and living the best life he can.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Thanks, Dave!

[@tylosaurusrex101]

This just popped up in my recommended feed. I'm so glad someone made a video about this underappreciated developer. Illusion of Gaia and Soul Blazer were some of my favorite games as a kid, and I plan on playing Terranigma finally this year.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Went under the radar late 2022. Glad you managed to see it! One of my favorites despite its lack of viewership.

[@JoelElRican]

Indie, thanks for always taking great care and research when it comes to your documentaries. I am so glad I got to play Terranigma last year. It sucks the US never got a proper release of the game. Videos like this has really sparked a desire to go through and play old SNES games I never got to play, or never got to finish, as a kid.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I'm glad my work is inspiring others in some small way to revisit these games. Not all have aged perfectly, but there's still some greats in here.

[@zedek_]

31:10 Act Raiser 2 definitely sticks out from its peers. It has a unique feel and mechanics. Like with Zelda 2, people didn't judge the game for its own merits, but rather, just didn't like the changes based on their expectations of what a particular franchise should be. The dev at the end is right - the game has a lot of depth. Making that transition from cumbersome oaf to a god of death is extremely gratifying.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

I'm especially impressed with the movement system, which is cumbersome but very effective once you figure it out.

[@Titanic_Tuna]

Every time you upload, my gaming backlog increases in volume. Although this is a re upload, I know it will be something I re-watch again in the future. It was not a wasted effort for you to correct any editing mistakes since your videos generally age like fine wine.👍

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Thank you! I know this re-upload may prematurely squelch the reach of the video, but I'd rather have fewer views than have something that I worked on for so long botched at the last second by a render error.

[@quarkbent9165]

Well, I guess I get to watch someone cover one of my favourite series. Again.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

It was a very tough decision, and I know this is probably a terrible decision in light of "the algorithm", but I was very disappointed in the audio track of the previous video, and wanted to make this the best video it could be.

Hell yeah, very much looking forward to watching this. I rarely replay games, but I've beaten Soul Blazer several times. There was something so unique about these Quintet games that hasn't been duplicated since.

I agree. I'm coming to the realization now in life that I find flawed but intriguing works way more enjoyable than "perfect" run-of-the-mill titles.

[@ariwl1]

Amazing work. I've played through Actraiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma and each one remains one of my most solid and impactful memories of the medium of video games, and except for IoG I've played each of them only once. I fully agree when you say that their games were often greater than the sum of their parts. For Actraiser, the action and sim segments were both simplistic even for the time. The exploration and combat of Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia paled to the Legend of Zelda. And Terranigma lacked the cast of memorable characters found in nearly every Final Fantasy game. And yet, to play any of these games was to have your mind invited to ponder the circumstances of these worlds and the people in them. To consider the themes and flesh out what living really is and what that means to you. I've played many games over my gaming lifetime, but Quintent games were among the small but mighty few that had me thinking about them long after the credits rolled.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Well said, couldn't agree more! Although I think IoG holds its own a bit better than you'd expect when compared to a 1st-party Zelda title or Squaresoft game, they each did have their shortcomings. In the end, though. It didn't matter. They were enjoyable, off-beat adventure classics.

Terranigma's music gives me the chills even though last time I played it was like a decade ago. Such a great game for it's time, the music, the story, the art, the animations and most of all the real time combat. In those years turn based dominated, to find an rpg with real time was so rare

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yeah, it was an interesting find when I realized I had incidentally played several of their games without realizing it. Kind of shows how valuable branding is, and the effectiveness of labeling something as part of a series.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Replaying it, I enjoyed it quite a lot. As RPG fans, we were spoiled for choice on the PlayStation, but the anime cutscenes and floating island theme of the game always stood out in my memory.

Thank you for this great video! It gives a fantastic overview and timeline of all things Qintet. While I played (and actually finished!🥳) all earlier Quintet titles up until Granstream Saga, both Illusion of Gaia/Time and especially Terranigma are very dear to me. The worldbuilding, story and themes, characters, environments, combat systems and most of all the music are simply amazing in most of the games, so thank you for "presenting" them the way you did and doing them justice! A small remark concerning Terranigma, if I may: As @schnitzelhannes6431 already mentioned, Magirock is actually not a finite resource. Every piece you gather increases the overall "pool" you have at your disposal that you can use to craft rings and pins. When you then use these, the magirock needed to craft that item is again added to the pool, ready to be used again. Don't know if this had already been mentioned in the comments of the old video 😅

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Yes, I realized my oversight on the magirock mechanic (to be fair, the game doesn't explain that very well), but I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! Thanks for watching and being a fan of these classic games!

I'm so happy to see you're still active Indigo, your videos are so incredible and you have the best voice and delivery. I'm just so fond of your work and had been missing your presence! Of the games in this video I only have actual experience with two of them; Illusion of Gaia, where I played it at a friend's house who was relatively recently new to America from Germany, I would have been 9 years old when the game released here and I recall vividly sitting in his living room at our apartment complex and watching him play, and then getting my own turn. The other game I know well is Actraiser, a game I bought blind around the same age during a very rare trip to a local video game store. I had only enough money for one game and I bought it because I thought the box looked cool. That game was an obsession of mine and a childhood friend for that summer, and when we finally beat it we were jumping up and down with excitement, haha.

[@Indigo_Gaming]

Really makes my day to receive comments like this! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. If you liked ActRaiser, the recent remake on Steam is worth a try! I also recommend Terranigma, but that obviously is a bit difficult to play now without emulation.
