in the PC version each NPC has a unique portrait during conversation and it helps a lot with the sprite reuse thing

[@JasonGravesPoser]

I saw that. Shame they couldn't fit that into this version

[@thadevilzadvocate]

@@JasonGravesPoser However you don't have to type anything. That what I like. I have the ultima collection as well as for the super. Pick your poison. Go figure.

[@vxicepickxv]

There are 2 advantages foe the SNES version. 1. No typing. 2. No copyright protection for when you lose your rulebook.

[@TheBoredJord]

I really admire some of the things this game did. Ending it in a sensible way that pleases both sides is really inspired and the huge amount of depth NPC's have is something that really makes a game world feel alive. Even tons of games these days still don't do this and it adds so much to the world. These ideas are clearly ahead of their time and honestly that's still pretty true today. Risks in the gaming industry are becoming less and less common as the price of game-making increases and I wish it didn't feel so homogenized. I appreciate games from older generations for the very reason that so much experimentation took place. Great video!

Talking to the Shrines is prayer, something that is more obvious if you have approached U6 after playing U4. When I went back to the PC Version to finally finish it after 30 years I tried Use-ing the Shrines several times before remembering that you need to pray and say the mantra - would would be a talk command. Universal, context-specific one-button Interaction buttons like we have in games today certainly reduce the complexity but "Press A to Interact" is so much less cool than Talking to a shrine and entering the correct Mantra. At least for an old gamer like me. Good content -- subscribed.

[@zanderstigen]

I swear you breakdowns get better and better. It’s definitely made me look differently at retro and modern RPGs the commonalities and why some series have thrived and others barely made it out of the gate

[@analogmoz]

Unbelievably good game but quite a pill to play, especially on SNES. Respect for plowing through. Playing it on PC is an experience I have not been able to fully re-create in 30 years.

[@unsun6239]

You're very ambitious, making a series off all the snes games. Get subbed

[@johnb4264]

Cant believe he dogged on the music. Wowzers. Overall im finding the game very endearing and im like 1 hour in

[@danielscott70x7]

Fantastic review as always. Would personally always prefer longer videos - could listen to you talk about each of these games for an hour and I wouldn’t get bored. Keep up the great work, Jason!

[@Will-xk4nm]

PC Version is an all-time favorite of mine. Day/Night cycles, NPC schedules, completely open world -- can any other SNES RPG (besides U7) claim any of this? This game also calls back to IV and V, and elements of this game are resolved in Ultima VII. Quenton's murder discussed in U6 is never solved until 200 years later in U7. Britannia is a deep, deep game world but the NES and SNES versions just couldn't really provide the same continuity between games that the PC could.

[@JasonGravesPoser]

I can think of plenty with day/night cycles, but nothing that does as much with NPCs. I guess we'll see as I keep going through them, though I hear Ultima 7 SNES is unfortunately a completely different game

[@Semc_Sucks]

The snes version of U6 literally improves the game...

[@TheRumpletiltskin]

I never played this one but I enjoyed your overview of it. Based on your critique I wish I hadn't missed this as a kid, it's right up my alley.

[@shannonwilliams7249]

Peak Takenouchi tune halfway through. Great song, nice taste. The unsung bard of the Genesis. Am I in a safe enough to admit my tears whenever I encounter the synth harp arpeggio? I believe so. Let the review marathon continue. Really looking forward to you beating all the Genesis rpgs when you finish the Snes😅

[@johnnyspliff4900]

you get a glass sword and smash a guard (if you WANT to), deal with some gypsies, collect stones, get some spider webs, make the lazy seamstress to make a balloon once you get the blueprints, get the pirates treasure for good measure, pass through the dungeon hythloth, say whats up to Sin Vraal, dont remember why, fly to a cave, talk to pushme pullyu at some point and the whole time you can only really have an idea of where you are by coordinates provided by a sextant and yeah....EZPZ....at least before the internet was a reliable thing, I had a whole notepad of random coordinates

[@DoubleDragonGaming]

damn 61% retention on the last video? Jason Graves is slaying this youtube thing

[@thewingedavenger1007]

Great review as always!

[@thadevilzadvocate]

Me and the Avatar have alot in common. I live alone, only leaving my solitude when necessary. I.E (When I have to go to work).

[@Luchiop]

I love everything yu said about the game. sounds to me like the perfect game. Playing for the fist time and I`m quite lost tbh.

[@christianwalker7308]

I'm really digging the tim rogers qualities in these reviews. I finish his videos as well

[@MAYOFORCE]

Ultima's method of doing top down sprites drives me insane

[@Metushalakh]

For a JRPG series with NPC character arcs- Trails. They even reference it as a design choice in game in the first one.

[@alex_pearl]

I moved out to Los Angeles from the Midwest years ago. When you said "Joshin'", I was like 😳! Love your reviews. Subscribed. You seem legit cool. 👍🏻

[@Will-xk4nm]

As a fun side note, in the PC version you could pay to have sex with either the male or female gypsy, regardless of the Avatar's gender. Ditto for Ultima 7 and the baths in Buccaneer's Den.

[@exidy-yt]

Looks like Nintendo censored the sacrificing gargoyle catching a crossbow bolt through the skull from Iolo in the opening sequence, no surprise I guess considering the murdered victims in The Black Gate are now 'kidnapped' in the SNES version.....ah Ninty of the 90s. I don't miss that.

[@steveunderhill5935]

“Never trust anyone who needs a haircut” like it! Adding it to my list. Never trust: Adults w a back pack, People wearing trench coats, People missing a finger or a toe Anyone with 2 first name (aka a given name for a surname) Anyone with damage to their vehicles

[@pmgjwg]

It was kind of funny how you basically forced both sides to play nice if they wanted their special book

[@Deimos_Fresh]

Personally I like how this game looks. And as a Dragon Quest player having tons of menus isn't big problem for me.

[@sindobrandnew]

7:22 🤣🤣🤣 Pretty tamed.

[@Darkotaku85]

This game really needs an uncensoring ROM patch to make it similar to the DOS-Box version.

[@sirmrguitardude]

If you like ultima and eye of the beholder your a crpg guy. Try some pc games, you're missing out on the classics

[@thesetiredeyes3431]

I’ll buy it

[@TiffanyStarrxxx]

I am torn. You were selling this game very well, but im not sure i can get over those graphics. I may try this...may...

[@ohgodimdead]

It was great graphics for its time. Very well thought out game.

[@TiffanyStarrxxx]

@@ohgodimdead I'm still considering it, but probably won't be until after I finish streaming FFVI on GBA

[@terrylyn]

How accurate ports are these from PC, at least on computer these games are considered as classics.

[@EonEsper-Kriz]

"Parallel Universe." Not Dimension... I hate how everyone confuses the two.

[@jasonwylshire686]

this truly looks like a 3rd rate NES game... but since Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time, I have an appreciation for the depth of this one.

[@jamesr9400]

why you no tell us how to leave teh damn castle!!!

[@thejackbull210]

Does anyone know what the music at 2:30 is?

[@iwanaGoFast2010]

You think you some kind of AVGN????

[@seriouslypersona968]

Bro i rememeber this game!UGH!!I hated it!ANd that damn portal can kiss my ass!!

[@adeptmechanism5180]

I have found that the best Chef Boyardee product is the original spaghetti and meatballs. Stay away from the beefaroni. My brother ate it once and then he committed mopery.

[@DellikkilleD]

the graphics are literally stolen from genisis warriors of the eternal sun

[@almightycinder]

PC version of Ultima VI is two years older than that

[@DellikkilleD]

@@almightycinder but, this isnt the PC version..?

[@almightycinder]

@@DellikkilleD the graphics are just a bit downgraded. They're the same designs. If anything, the Genesis game is the knockoff

[@ooommm4024]

i never could figure out what to do after befriending the gargoyles, given conversations went nowhere with most characters you talked with, and ultimately, felt this was the second time I got trolled by an ultima game. Beyond that, I had no idea which shrines were the best ones to power up your characters. This game was the second most horrible dumpster fire of an rpg i had ever played and was second only in awfulness to Ultima 3: Exodus for the nintendo. Thank goodness I fell in love with the superior Final Fantasy series.
