@@ProperBird yeah, I get it. People always think they'll watch them later, or when both videos come out. Then they forget. What you have here is perfect though. You clearly have love for this series. This...beautiful, hilarious, cringeworthy, fantastic, terrible series. It remains one of my favourites, even after From The New World (it absolutely is not a Shadow Hearts game, I agree). Your series has reminded me of all the highs and lows of the games and I feel like you need more credit for the time and effort you put into these videos.

I wish they did a remake or a redesign of All of these games. Koudelka was important in the very first shadow heart game. I think her son is one of the characters. This was a very unique game, but what I loved is their mix of historical figures with weird fantasy elements and quirky characters.

You may have heard but many of the original creators involved with Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts are kickstarting two new games, Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood. Both are supposed to be spiritual successors to the two original series. Hopefully Penny Blood will have the same creepy monsters...maybe some corrupted werewolves or something, even.

Although i don't think Shadow Hearts FTNW is a bad game, After watching this video i never realised how disjointed and all over the place the story is and how the characters, Quirky as they are, Most of the party was one note and never really went anywhere. I also never knew of a development hell relating to Shadow Hearts until this video, From what i can tell Aruze wanted to make the games more profitable by removing all the horror and doubling down on the goofy antics to bring in more customers, I'm not surprised it backfired big time. It did have the best battle system of the games. It's a shame that the Shadow Hearts series had to end this way as i would've loved to have see the series in a World War 2 setting.

Didn't the team consider this more of a spinoff than an actual direct sequel? Anyway pretty good review. I enjoyed the game for what is but prefer the previous two entries. The first one for its Gothic and darker setting while the second for its much approved battle system. Also if you ever get the chance ma'am you should definitely check out Vagrant Story. I think that game will be right up your alley.

Especially Shenia's Mental conflict would tie in with the old shadow hearts perfectly, we have those flying masks which are very referencing of the native american ara, If they would tie this together meaningfull Shaodw Hearts: New World could be this wierd game no one likes but still manages to tie the plots very good together without losing the dark tone of the serious while also beeing as goofy at it is.

I played this game all the way to the end, all I had left was the final boss and um... I totally lost interest... I don't know why, I guess I was expecting another SH: Covenant but instead we got... this. I mean Covenant has not aged well for various reasons, but at least back then it was engaging, and the original SH, well... it's already been covered, amazing game. So yeah, I gotta say I agree with the title of this video. Very thorough review, can't imagine the amount of work that went into this, kudos.

It definitely feels like Shadow Hearts Covenant was the peak point of the series as it was, for the most part, able to combine the silliness with the tragedy. I’d argue that, despite its rep, SH was never about horror - it’s more focused on building a tense, gothic atmosphere with some horror elements in the designs of the monsters. SHC is probably best known for the sheer absurdity of the dialogue and characters but I do think it has an interesting main conflict with Yuri feeling empty after the bad ending of SH. I think the opening hours do a great job of building up the dark tragedy but it wouldn’t be nearly as memorable without the silliness of the dialogue and absurdity of some of the characters. The stakes feel high but there’s brevity in the comedy. I think that’s the strength of SH - this very fine line between gothic tragedy and absurdist comedy. I don’t think this title quite manages to hit that but, in all honesty, I think it would be near impossible to strike twice. I think Covenant hit that height by sheer luck.

At what age you play something truly changes your perception of things. I must've been at just the right age to enjoy both Shadow Hearts 2 and 3 but that enjoyment didn't include the dark themes at all. A lot of my fond memories of SH2 and 3 are Karin, Lucia, Veronica and every Shania fusion scene and form (yes I was a teenager). But aside from the fanservice, the slapstick wacky characters/sidequests really made this series stick out to me and I remembered it forever. There just wasn't anything like it. Looking back on it now through your videos, there certainly were flaws (gosh especially the story in 3, I musta been up to my eyeballs in Shania's TnA that I never noticed how shallow it was) but ultimately its the gameplay I fell in love with and I still love all the fusions and the enhanced combo system in SH3. I actually played SH1 much later in life and I guess I was able to look past its dated graphics and appreciate the insane enemies and dark themes as an adult. I'm actually planning on replaying SH 2 and 3 but, man, I'd need to be a werewolf to have the time to finish two JRPGs back to back...

The only inconsistency I can answer is the "Why Didn't Shania turn into a monster in a good ending." Sadly it's not related to werewolves, it's that throwaway line before the Tirawa fight, it has the power to purify the evils of mankind. To get the good ending you have to fully upgrade her Tirawa form, which I guess you can vaguely imply gives it the power to purify her body of the malice. I like your idea better tho. Shania's both the best character and the one that gets shafted the most. From her design being lowkey offensive to her not being given the same level of care concerning her powers and what they do to her that Yuri received.... yeah...She is the reason why axes are my favorite weapon to dual wield tho, I'll give her that!

It has an interesting story, good mechanics and really good, but slow, world building. But mixed in with that are a few scenes of the "aren't big breasts amazing!" variety that give the impression one of the writer's 10 year old kids replaced a few pages of the script and it went unnoticed.

A wolf in sheep's clothing would make hilarious cosplay! Would a sheep wear wolf's clothing? What if the wolf's clothing was a sheepskin with attached head-hood? Those old WB toonz featuring a coyote and sheepdog trying to eat/guard a fluffy flock might have inspired me here. Anyway, a wear-wolf (open to interpretation) or even a whole flock of wear-wolves (vaguer still, I know) couldn't dress up this "kuso". The combat looks too woolly for me. Were I a werewolf, I would exclaim (bcuz lycanthropes can talk better than ol' Scoob), "You can't pull the wool over my eyes, I know a kusoge when I smell one!" And yet, the creativity on display in the bowl, and on the surrounding walls and floor, really is impressive. Messy, yes, but impressive. Thanks for uploading, PB!!

In the end, I just watched the final cut scene/ending on KZbin. Like you mentioned , I was basically taking snapshots with Johnny in order to get the prizes, In the end, I just wanted to know how the story ended, which felt lacklustre.

I'll be frank here the biggest gripe i have with Shadow Hearts and Koudelka is they never told us why seemingly all the spirit that gonna be resurrected always rejected the offer, okay i get it if like Elaine got sick and bedridden for a few years so when her times come she already make peace with her dead so then she refuse the offer of resurrection but it wasn't the case in all of the games, Elaine killed by a thief, Alice was force to sacrifice herself for Yuri, and the twins got killed in an accident they all died suddenly leaving a loved one and with dreams plus all other things they want to do in their life seriously after Koudelka this plotline just become a deus ex machina for some character to meet again or got resurrected but when if it contradict what they want the story to go they just "oh no a refused the chance for resurrection even though b and a loved each other and if a got resurrected most likely they'll get married and grow old lovingly together but nah a refused the offer because i don't know the heaven is that great maybe"

From the New World is the Wild Arms 4/SMT IV Apocalypse of the franchise. As a standalone game its fun, but the cringe writing (outside the villain duo) and being glued to a well-loved series kinda makes people hate it violently. Shania is hot and the people who complain about her are very silly; doesn't help that the non-character that ended up Yuri's mom is far more offensive than a goofy stereotype. Edit: Shania needed a Malice Wendigo Werewolf form.

Shadow Hearts is one of my absolute favorite games ever. I really enjoyed Covenant as well. I tried three times to get through A New World...but just couldn't do it. It just wasn't Shadow Hearts to me, where's the horror? And Shania wasn't a good substitute for Yuri and his Harmonixer abilities. I want to turn into demons, and werewolves not what ever Shania turns into. It was just a disappointing experience all around. Also as a side note I love the FFVIII music in the background of your video, another game near and dear to me, I would to see a video on your take of it.

Didn´t expect they would introduce werewolves in to the game like that.

I remember when I first heard the title of this game that my mind immediately came up with the story would have Hailey and Koudelka searching for Edward be a part of it. And instead of the Valentine Vampire family... America could have had the Woodrift Werewolf family. Eh?

On point analysis, through all the games. I played and finished all except Koudelka and couldn’t agree more with you. FTNW would’ve been better with a werewolf character, no doubt :)

Yeah, this game was a sharp drop-off. Where I could still appreciate parts of Covenant and just thought it was an entertaining FFX also-ran, finishing this one was torture.

Love the video. I have a bit of an odd relationship with shadow hearts. This was my first one and I loved it so much I went back to find covenant. And I remember I once held the original in my hands at a GameStop and begged to get it but wasn’t successful. It’s a weird case of me knowing full well that this game has problems, but have a special attachment to it since it was my introduction to this series

I've made to this series with this game. Dispute the hate on this one, I still love It. Nowdays I see the flaws of the game, but playing It as a teenager was a great experience.

I watched this video a little late but I found the monster design very interesting, as it was on the previous games: very strange monsters, the team was no afraid from straying from the classics like werewolves, zombies, etc.

I always wanted to know what the deal was with the maligned final entry in this series but not enough to actually play it, given its infamy. This was very informative! I am now aware (wolf) of what I was hoping to learn.
