The "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom" Video Nobody Asked For

[@rozialfan]

I desperately want a sequel to this game. I still have my gamecube copy. I also want another Duelist of the Roses. I think Yu-Gi-Oh! games were at their best when not simply being the card game.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

Agree This game desperately needed a sequel. There were so many neat, unrefined or unrealized ideas that could have been developed.

[@craftergamer9058]

@@aprinnyonbreak1290never gonna happen unfortunately Konami doesn’t really care about making these odd spin-off games anymore the only games they’re willing to make for yugioh are just straight duel simulators like master duel.

[@TheSassJacket]

Great video! It always shocks me when I find other people having played this. I played through every campaign more times than I can count. Konami really dropped the ball with how innovative this title was. Yu-Gi-oh! side games are so bonkers.

[@avalanchemkii7506]

I appreciate the comment here and on the sub lol. I'm not sure if I necessarily addressed it in this video, but FBK has always seemed to me like if it got a sequel, it probably could've established a decent sub-series. Konami was wild in terms of experimentation during this era, which if nothing else, resulted in some incredibly fascinating games.

@@avalanchemkii7506 They were so fun to me I wish they never stopped.

[@cupie2255]

The new unicorn overlord game reminded me of this game with its real time map mechanics, so I highly recommend trying that out if you liked the innovations this game made.

[@TStizzle19]

HELLO 2 YEARS LATER, I LOVES THIS GAME!!!

[@jeffersonspyplanemusic]

Played this a lot when I was younger. The weird Yugioh games were fun.

[@Anonymice]

I remember harpie ladies being ridiculously overpowered due to their unit specific buffs. They had a powerful team attack, they had equips that could stun lock even the Egyptian Gods, were very fast due to be flying units, and were overall fairly powerful. It was insane how busted they were.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

During my stream series of this game, I called my harpie team and their Triangle Ecstasy Spark the Win Button. Because that's what it is! Once you have them all kitted out with Electro Whips they can steamroll just about any challenge

[@tutorialboss4090]

My nostalgia for the game is so high and I find myself replaying it a lot. Something about it scratches just the right itch for me. I know it isn't particularly good, but I enjoy it so much for some reason.

[@KazumaPrime]

It's one of the unique gems on the GameCube that made it one of my favorite consoles, and much preferred over the other two during the 6th gen. Sure PS2 had a ton of games that I find myself interested in now, and Xbox of course had Halo (one of my favorite series of all time), but GameCube had a ton of now classic Nintendo titles as well as a variety of titles from different franchises; Star Wars, Yugioh, DBZ, Tom Clancy, Sonic, Mega Man, and more. The latter was on the other platforms, but GameCube was the only place for the Nintendo holy trinity; Mariokart, Super Smash, and Mario Party.

[@gerald216]

I haven't gone back and played it again but every so often I really want to. Sadly I don't have the console or game anymore, and haven't felt like surfing for it elsewhere

[@PremoProjects]

Same. Just watching Buster Blader's attack rip a ravine behind his opponent brings me hype.

[@NJbldragon]

I think the funniest thing about the Tea recruit mission is I remember her monsters were so broken that even if the enemies catch her, she can easily wipe them out because one of her monsters can make all enemy attacks miss. Absolutely hilarious team that did amazing whenever I played this game.

[@jasontoddler7680]

How? I remember dying every time because her team stunk.

[@icyyy_sg3682]

2 years late, but man I love Yu-Gi-Oh Falsebound Kingdom. Such a great unique game, literally not a single game that's close to the same. Even after 15 years of playing me and my brother still can have fun fresh playthroughs. We do Nuzlockes and split the monsters and Marshalls up between us. So we just trade off the controller for whoever is in a fight and complete the missions while trying not to lose any of our monsters. Really fun way to play. Wish they would make a sequel. If they did do a sequel I hope they speed up combat a bit though lmao💀. Good Vid 👍

[@icyyy_sg3682]

Also we banned healers, and cannons and such to give more challenge.

[@foxxylover]

The dozens of fans of this game really appreciate this video!

[@bijoukaiba]

This game was so dear to me growing up! For some reason, whenever games gave you the option of choosing a Yugi or Kaiba route, Kaiba always got the better story. You need look no further than the endings of Duelists of the Roses because the difference is VAST.

[@walterwright1085]

Just picked this game up at a thrift store and wanted more info on it. Great video

[@harmonicky3313]

This channel is VERY underrated! Seriously you deserve more attention if you're putting out content this quality.

"completely off brand" bro you have a total of 1.5 videos outside of this one. Ur good

[@XJ-0641]

also i like yugioh :)

[@gladboylavin]

Always nice to look for something incredibly niche and finding a great channel in the process

[@acecommanderjoker3926]

I still own this game! I really loved it as a kid!

[@hectorbravo9855]

me too and you know what crazy is next month in November 4 for the USA this game will have it 20 years anniversary that is so crazy

[@steve199151]

Man this games music is excellent

[@ThatGuy-pl9ng]

More of the spin-off yugioh games please 🙏

[@DriftedVisionMan]

Never played this game before, but your video made it seem very interesting. Keep up the good work!

[@JuliusKingsleyXIII]

Always nice coming back to this video when it re appears in my feed. Great game, great video.

[@jamesnielson7060]

I had nearly forgotten about this odd game. It was so odd! The grinding!

[@TheFatestPat]

This was a neat little game back in the day. It's too bad they stopped making spinoff games after this one. I always thought Yugioh would work well in a tabletop RPG kind of setting.

[@avalanchemkii7506]

I'm actually reading the manga currently and I'm very surprised that a Yugioh TRPG never happened. It's how Bakura's introduced and is the main game they play in the last arc.

[@Hero_of_Comedy]

@@sliver170 And that game got it's own anime mini-series

[@TheNinjaCrash]

I have never stopped a video to look for another one as fast as I did just now. When you said "speedrun for this game" I just HAD to know

[@JuliusKingsleyXIII]

Great video mate. Definitely going to check out what else you have on your channel. This is one of my favorite games, even knowing how flawed it is and only being able to play it at 2x speed on Dolphin now a days.

[@RyokoAsakuraLastFan]

Falsebound Kingdom was and is by far my favorite Yugioh game

[@sagacious03]

4:00 Weirdly, when searching this quote, I can't find any results actually attributing it to Alexander Irvine; It makes me wonder if they just made it up. 5:26 I don't like how much they tell, not show, but I feel like being text only isn't an excuse to not care about part of a plot. Many books & visuals novels do a lot with just text. I don't like many of them, but they do. 18:24 Lol, I never noticed that! 28:30 Moisture Creature's Action Points can get good with a matching colour orb, & combined with access to Raigeki & such, it can defeat things in a hurry. 39:18 And it missed, too! Anyway, decent analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@hades91245]

I had this game then unfortunately sold it. 30+ years old now and I've asked my family to find me a copy for my Birthday.

[@Aleph3575]

3:45 Yeah I made that mistake as a kid lol. Though, there are a couple of missions in Yugi's story that feel like softlocks if you don't level up certain characters (cough that mission where Tea is mind controlled and you can't kill her). 14:32 No joke, I actually straight up missed Gaia the Fierce Knight AND Dark Magician my first playthrough lol.

[@Deathnotefan97]

This game resulted in me coming up with a headcanon regarding Bandit Keith Kaiba’s 2nd mission involves you hunting down some bandits, which consists of Bandit Keith and Bonz But unlike Rex and Weevil, these 2 are not real people trapped in the game, they are NPCs modeled after the characters Keith is a big enough name that it makes sense to put him in the game as an Easter egg, but to my knowledge, Bonz is not all that well known of a duelist So I choose to believe that the in universe explanation is that, when they approached Keith to get his permission to use his likeness, he agreed only on the condition that his friend Bonz also be added in the game And it just makes me happy imagining Keith talking up Bonz as if he were some sort of big brother to him

[@revan8795]

I think the fact they made the gods well gods. Such a shame they got nerfed so hard into the ground in the actual game. Especially since they made that cracked Legendary Fisherman. First time I saw his effects. I went like that's what the gods should of had!

[@CakeyJakey1945]

That Shaman King game was fantastic!

[@The13thElysium]

Nice video! I've recently got the chance to play this and i'm excited to try more of it! I grew up playing Roses and Capsule monsters Coliseum and am a fan of this era of yugioh! I'll try starting with Kaiba and hope i can do ok! XD

[@bigdaddyjh2002]

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I played so many hours and days. So many different way to play it and go about it. I really liked the Harpie monsters with their claw equips to paralyze other monsters. Ugh, makes me want to go play it now.

[@Trollholetoll]

BRO I thought this game was just some weird fever dream of my childhood!

[@phorchybug3286]

This is the first YGO game I played, before the cards.

[@monkeyb.4704]

I just got this game yesterday and I’m living it! Currently doing my first play-through with Kaiba

[@thewerebear1]

Sad that this never got the difficulty mod treatment DOTR and Capsule monsters got. Imagine actually having to use the RTS mechanics.

[@d.a.d.-ohgosh]

Absolutely loved this game in my early teenage years.

[@irish14sean]

I owned this game on my GameCube many years ago, I was so young I had no clue what the story was, nor did I really care. But I did love the characters, and seeing and playing as them in some way. Heck even the monsters were awesome to me and I am a sucker for RTS and even some JRPGs. I've lost this game to time, but I remember it fondly and while it's nothing like the card game, it still brings some awesome stuff, like giving those monsters attack names that you'd hear from the anime. For nostalgia sake I recommend it.

[@Deathnotefan97]

There is one Yugi mission that makes no sense in universe After your friends are mind controlled by Scott, the mission where you save Tea begins by saying that she is going to be uses as a sacrifice for a spell that destroys the world Its a trap to lure out Yugi of course, but if you let the time run out on the mission, you get a “cutscene” that implies this actually happens before you game over Meaning Scott was perfectly willing to destroy this virtual world, the same world that he needs in order to summon Dark Nite

[@Mence1809]

Somehow i always want a spin-off game when the monster is on the their own adventures and being the main character of the game. Imagine you are Zera the warrior and your choice alters the story line or having Holactie fighting against Exodia or Armityle at the summit of the game. Would be a different experience i guess

[@ericwilford2156]

Really wish they expanded on this idea, I loved this game as a kid, more than the actual card gamr

[@Deathnotefan97]

Moisture Creature _does_ get more AP as it levels up, it a lot of course, but if you can get it high enough level and get the orb the same co,or as the marshal, it gets enough that it f***ing _dominates_ (not a lot of AP compared to other monsters, but it has high enough Attafk that it doesn’t need it) It’s a hell of a grind, but it’s arguably worth it

[@animedreamnetwork245]

I still think game is the best one. The thing is takes getting use too. So if you had the attention span of a goldfish when you were younger you would never fully appreciate it. It still holds up very well today.

[@roxasdeviluke317]

I got this for christmas when it came out and had no idea what i was doing i mostly played the free mode and could only make it up to the fourth fight

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

This game is not great, but I absolutely love it. I really want to make a game based on this that addresses all of the unfortunate design choices, because I actually like the slow-paced strategy vibe and I feel like there is so much untapped potential. I don't think this game was ever going to be great, but given the time I think a sequel could have been.

[@tutorialboss4090]

I hope you do make that game, I want to play more like Falsebound kingdom

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I borrowed this game from a friend once since I had already traded for all the promo cards so I had no reason to actually buy the game myself. I spent 90% of the time just exploring the map because the game seemed so boring. But walking around the map was super cool for some reason.

[@bungwads4756]

Yeah I wish the combat had more to it bc it was one of my fav games when i was younger, but I dont have much of a reason to return to it besides notalgia. Probably one of my fav video game ost's ever though

[@Hero_of_Comedy]

You know, another Yu-Gi-Oh spinoff game that didn't feature cards, Capsule Monster Coliseum, had an anime mini-series around it. I can't help but wonder what if The Falsebound Kingdom also had an anime adaptation.

[@petertilton7004]

Anyone gonna mention we got uncensored models on Enchanting Mermaid, Fairy's Gift and Dark Magician Girl? Just me?

[@zodiac8130]

This game is the only reason (beside mario party) why i bought a gamecube again. Its my favorite Yugioh game of all time.

[@hamurabymora4203]

Fresh 🙏🏽

[@pjaz6800]

I think what solidified this game for me back in the early 2000s was in-battle graphics. I loved seeing 3D versions of 2D things. That has lost its value over the years as mobile 3D has gotten so much beter.

[@TheKpa11]

Fizdis, the best girl in Yugioh

[@jaimereupert4247]

[@jdp3578]

Im really late here but I absolutely love this game. Replayed so many times that yugi and kaiba are level 99 and 97😂 I even converted my gamecube to hdmi to extend its life and modernize it a bit.

[@danielsolano1401]

Hey there! Nobody here! Thank you so much for the video!! :)

[@robertcorr6971]

Why does the OST to this game kinda slap.

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

I'll probably write more comments but I wanted to get this one out before I forget: I actually think the Tea "escape" mission is the worst-designed mission in the Yugi campaign, maybe in the entire game. Tea is completely surrounded, her only path to escape is to go straight up like you pointed out. Once you get away, you send her back to base and the mission is over in 5 minutes. And if you can't get away, you pretty much lose instantly because Tea's team sucks. I suppose winning 1 battle via points might be possible but wiping a team seems impossible. And if you lose a battle you get stunned in the overworld so it's GG. Let's suppose you get the escape first-try: you have now missed the game's "introduction" to fusion and will be greatly surprised by it later (probably when you fight Gaia?). This mission starts at max-tension immediately, and any mistake by Tea basically forces a restart. This adds another layer to this level being so different from the rest, it seems intentionally designed to be repeated quickly over and over until you figure out how to squeeze past the enemies. Now you could send someone out to prevent the mission from ending quickly, but why would you do that? Who cares about looting the other cities? Who cares that a Baby Dragon I wasn't told about is out there and can only be picked up by Joey? This mission is just such a flop, it disregards all of the skills the rest of the game tests and asks the player to re-play it over and over until they achieve perfection (NOT the experience of the rest of the game). I want to lose because I made a tactical or strategic mistake, not because I picked the wrong angle to run at or I can't click my buttons fast enough

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

For similar reasons I think the Yami Bakura mission is also poorly designed

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

I'm not against changing the formula but these missions do not do it well

[@robertgosney5657]

I understand my reply is over a year later. But here is how I tend to deal with the Tea mission. I start by trying to move her to the base to the south knowing I will get attacked at least a few times before I get there. Try to build both a healer and a supply unit. Then I use the screen mist to try and blind the opponents if that monster of hers has that ability. Then I try and focus down at least 1 of the monsters first aiming for the healer where a team has a healer then wait for the fusion to burn the polymerization then escape and eventually doing that I can widdle down the opposing teams and push through beating them all with Tea alone once the pressure is off and I can freely move the rest of my units I move them over to the base and if my first run through pick up baby dragon just because of completionists habits

[@XerxesTexasToast]

MOISTURE CREATURE. OUGH that guy took so long to find, even with the walkthrough. I didn't use him though. I'm just trying to collect all of the monsters.

[@MrDonJuanquis]

I really want konami to revisit this idea in the future, even as a mobile game. Having 3 on 3 battles and have the monsters have branching evolution Skilled DM levels up and become DM If dm fuses with time wizard you get darl sage Fuse with buster to create dark paladin Defeat X number of dark monsters to become Sorcerer of black magic Red eyes b chick levels into red eyes wyvern and then become Red eyes b dragon And have more than 2 moves on each monsters Some be like lore Having Marauding captain have my body as a shield if you have a companion Gagagigo, etc

[@KINGD353]

as a massive joey fanboy I gotta say I love that they gave him a story mode but I hate that they don't treat him like a proper main character. as per usual he's weaker then kaiba and yugi and can't use an egyptian god. I hate it so much... I could've even settled for him having equal stats but no god access. just for once I want my mans to get the respect he deserves!

[@spyr0guy]

I love this game to pieces, but it always felt like someone tried to make an RTS game with an RPG combat system but didn't fully understand what they were doing. I really want to see someone mod this game and expand on it because there's SO much potential here. Edit: The plot of the in-universe "Kingdom" game is lazy and rushed as a narrative device in and of itself. Being a compelling video game was never its purpose, it was designed to be a trap. Edit 2: I once again render my own comment redundant by making it before watching for 3 more seconds
