The One Piece of JRPGs

[@boltinabottle6307]

I'm usually a very frugal gamer that waits for the sales. The last three games I've bought at full price are CSIV, Reverie, and Daybreak. No regrets.

[@randysvids4774]

Same way for me.

This video was fantastic and you deserve many more views and subs than you have. Trails is my favorite series and has been for over 4 years now and speaking as someone who just recently got into One Piece this year (Just finished Dressrosa not too long ago) I was making Trails comparisons the entire time. Falcom def took a lot of influence and inspiration from Oda's work. The great collapse is similar to the blank century, Orbal energy is like Dial energy, the Poneglyph and weapons are reminiscent of the Sept-Terrions. Hell even how they slowly built up Osborne gave me big Blackbeard vibes. That's just a few of the comparisons I've noticed too. Anyways, Trails and One Piece are my two favorite pieces of fiction so this video was basically made for me. Instantly subscribed and gave the video a like. Keep up the great work! Also laughed at the Critikal impression.

[@NeoKakarot]

Thank you so much! And I think you are the first person to notice the moist impression bit haha xD.

[@dragonmaster1500]

10:14 Wait, there are people who don't talk to all the NPCs in a Falcom game?

[@GreyVictory1510]

1 thing to add: Don't skip on the Manga between Trails in the Sky and Trails from Zero snd the Drama CDs and the manga chapter placed in Cold Steel 1. Just additional material easily missed by western fans that are all canon and relevant.

[@NeoKakarot]

I've partaken in a little bit of that stuff, it is really neat. I probably should have mentioned at the very least that manga after sky.

[@bilditup1]

I knew about the SC manga but not about the one between Sky the 3rd and Zero (which I’m playing rn), ty

As a video to explain Trails to someone this is very nice, my friend is practically disconnected from the internet and at best knows some anime and movies.

“What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.” All except for the Nayuta stuff. I literally just started it last night and am only about ten minutes into the opening as I started it before going to sleep and already I know that this is not a cute throwaway side story prequel. From the little I heard and read so far, this story will come into play later. It's kind of like the Ys Origin of the Trails series. Not required but helps to fill in a lot of gaps that will impact the story later. Glad you had fun making the video though.

[@NeoKakarot]

Well at least you enjoyed one piece of what I said in the video haha. I certainly got a lot of flak when I first released this video many months ago from friends but ehhh I don't regret making it and will keep it here anyways. Thanks for watching and commenting like this regardless however.

[@Its_a_Phaze]

THE LEGEND OF HEROES IS REEEEEEEEEEAL!!!

[@NeoKakarot]

Absolutely legendary.

[@abdullahigurhan5465]

idk if you did it as a joke, but the guy at the beginning is not Oda. Its the guy who works on Zelda.

[@NeoKakarot]

Hahaha Oda probably likes it if people think that's him. ;)

[@SogonD.Zunatsu]

0:16 BRUH

[@NeoKakarot]

Couldn't resist, also Oda probably likes it if people think thats him xD.

[@dan_kotsu]

The goat

[@gamalielmartinez2238]

The one piece is real

[@NeoKakarot]

In Oda we trust.

[@Karryu1995]

THE SEPT TERRIONS ARE REAL

[@GabrielResende-o2v]

I hope you used Aonuma's as a joke lol

[@NeoKakarot]

At the time when I made the video I figured it would be a good comment bait xD.

[@GabrielResende-o2v]

@@NeoKakarot lol, consider me baited

[@dan_kotsu]

I'll be there day 1 for kai. Too much peak.

[@NeoKakarot]

As soon as Kai is on PC and there's a fan translation I'm there. Kai is looking incredible so far, could potentially be the best game in the series.

[@dan_kotsu]

@@NeoKakarot ya same. I gotta wait for the PC port as well. I'm sure people will work on fan patch for ps4 version right away. Sometime next year I'd say. Ya all the building blocks are here. And seems like game wasn't rushed like crimson sin so hopefully really good writing 🥹

[@LilT2o00]

Considering slice of life anime got better storylines than anything in shonen, lol this is an insult to trials to be compared to one piece

[@NeoKakarot]

Different strokes for different folks.

[@Haarwyvern]

Trails is average since Cold Steel when One Piece almost always was except at some point in the middle so they are not similar 😼

[@NeoKakarot]

I'll agree that Cold Steel 1-4, Reverie and Daybreak 2 are lacking a fair amount story wise compared to the first 5 games of the series. But even still those games still have fantastic world building, just like One Piece during lesser arcs and still add to the overall series. I disagree with you saying that Trails and One Piece aren't similar, but that's okay I still massively appreciate the discourse and your input. Thank you for watching the video and leaving this comment, it helps out a lot!
