Which Versions of Klonoa 1 & 2 Should You Play? Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series Comparison & Review

[@AustinSV]

Just venting here: This video should've been done 2 weeks ago but I had to re-record, re-voice, and re-edit the entire thing twice. First to revise the script (not up to standard) and second because of a huge hard drive problem (my fault). I hope the videos pacing makes sense as I worked through this one while pretty scatter-brained

[@tubguinace]

Imo the original is worth playing even after playing any of the remakes, the 2d sprites in low poly environments has such a unique feel that could never be replicated using modern day sensibilities.

[@KazeShikamaru]

I recommend anyone can play them if they can.

[@yanbelmiro7961]

yeah it looks so unique, not to say the remakes are bad or worse than the original (which they aren't) but the ps1 version definitely still worth it

[@cliffturbo2146]

That's because they use higher poly.

[@mopeybloke]

They don't want to replicate that feel.

[@DijaVlogsGames]

I think they totally could. Low poly graphics can be done on modern systems, using character sprites is not illegal. They could do a 1:1 remake in HD and I‘d wager to guess even kids would love it. They played stuff like Undertale or Untitled Goose Game.

[@dood3530]

It's so nice seeing a channel that goes into such depth about version differences. Most people either don't address it at all or only cover the most surface-level changes.

[@AquaBlueTea]

For me personally, I’d recommend everyone play the original games if you’re able to, mainly because of a lot of the original atmosphere of the games is almost completely lost with how bright and colorful the remakes are. Also the fmvs of the og ps1 Klonoa are a must to really feel the emotion of the game

[@gishathosaurus6828]

Finally, someone with a decent palate... swear to God you can't say shit about this remake without "fans" jumping at your yugular

[@Tigerhearty]

YES there is something cruelly lacking in the adaptation there.

[@nevertheweck]

such a missed opportunity for the remakes to not include a widescreen version of the original PSX & PS2 titles alongside the fully remastered versions

I disagree with this notion. We want games to be accessible and fun. This purist position does not help more people enjoy Klonoa.

[@philcoast1031]

12:02 SOLD! Honestly, why remakes have such a strong bloom? It not so bad here, but it has ruined some games for me, like Sonic Colors Ultimate or Wind Waker HD. While I already have the original PS1 and PS2 games, I still think it's worth buying the Steam version for the ease of access, and the possibility of mods: making custom levels, adjusting things like colisions and frame data, removing nitpicks (e.g. being able to skip cutscenes is good, but having a permanent on-screen prompt is not), etc. It's too early to say it for certain, but I have a good feeling about Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series.

[@lordmonarch2995]

It has to do well. Otherwise this will be the end of the series! But I also feel like it’s doin well

[@grimmquote6682]

Playing the original ps1 version of Klonoa is such an experience. Something about the 2d sprites, in a 3D environment back when it was hard to envision such a thing is just very charming. I was excited for this collection mainly because Klonoa two was in it, making it an affordable way to get the game.

[@franciscobutte]

The color palette and mood of the originals are still the best imo.

[@JarylGaren]

the Switch version of the Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series collection was my first proper playthrough of the main console Klonoa games, and I had a lot of fun with it!

[@MrMatthias]

I played this on PC! It was my first time playing Klonoa in any capacity, and I adored it! I did notice some jank with the first game, but it was just delightful classic platforming fun!

Klonoa 1 and tomba 2 2.5d wolrds are amazing to explore.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

I'm impressed devs put the effort to bring K1 closer to its original version. Makes me want to buy this remaster just to support this.

[@YukeWeiss]

So glad to see you cover these. Klonoa is a terrific series and I own all the English language release games. I even got Phantasy Reverie on NS and PS4 Pro and have only played through Door to Phantomile so far. I'd seen the Wii version before and think it's really strange how they blend the Wii version with the original audio and character designs. I also definitely note as a PAL gamer, it feels significantly harder simply because everything is moving at normal speed for once. Personally I still prefer the original game as while the Wii version fleshed out Phantomile, it also took out a lot of the atmosphere.

[@CollectedG]

I just played through Klonoa 1 on the reverie collection. Kinda disappointed that it doesn't come with the PS1 version but it's understandable since the Wiimake fits in better with the sequel graphically.

[@MrVariant]

2 player support jump was a joke as well as 3:45 not making tutorials optional by default. You get slapped every 2 seconds for basic stuff like hearts and wind bullets. Klonoa 2 loads slowly on the switch and Austin said they cut wii bonuses let alone worse wind bullets. No wonder this felt bastardized at $40.

[@MoonSarito]

Honestly I think the Wii version is still the best, but I always put the Phantemile language in the options before playing (which in my opinion should be the default option), it's so weird to see Klonoa speaking in English and I think which spoils the vibe of the game a bit.

[@marinellovragovic1207]

@@MoonSarito the biggest problem with the Wii version is the rewritten script. Instead of doing a new modern translation of the PS1 game, the script robs Klonoa most of his dialogue and gives it to Huepoe, making him a walking cardboard cutout.

[@RawPower867]

You can turn on the pixel filter to make it look like the PS1 version

[@diegog1853]

@@RawPower867 But it doesn't look anything like the ps1 version, just looks like modern graphics pixelated... exactly what it is. No low poly geometry and no 2D sprites for characters.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Excellent coverage. Thank you for taking the time to fully analyze it!

[@Saxdude26]

I did love that you covered the pixel filter, and I'll be honest that when I gave the game a try on the demo version, I turned it on immediately and left it on until the demo ended. As the demo was on Switch, that ended up being my console of choice when I bought the full version and I've been having nothing but fun since continuing it past Vision 1-2. Fantastic side by side. I've seen Klonoa PS1 vs Wii go through a thorough cross-examination, and seeing that extra context here was excellent. Here's hoping Klonoa is here to stay!

[@NotaSkeleton]

I've become bit of a Klonoa enjoyer the past year and while I think it's neat that they're remaking/porting the games over to modern hardware, it highlights a pet peeve I have with a lot of these products. Look at the comparison at 9:00. It's supposed to be a dark, late game area that contrasts to the brighter cheerful places you started the game with, but it's insanely bright in the remakes. The Wii version even has a ton of bloom, which indicates that the light is so intense that it's overwhelming. In the new remaster, they toned that down somewhat and the colors are more saturated, which is nice, but it's all still way too bright. I can never understand why this is such a common decision in remasters/remakes. It's not like monitors aren't able to display deeper darker colors correctly or anything. There's a bunch of other visual differences that annoy me, but whatever. I'd only buy this so I can play Klonoa 2, since the game emulates kinda poorly and I really don't think that's worth $50 or however much it costs. It just really sucks when publishers put out these flawed products and expect the fanbase to buy them with the vague hint that maybe they'll make a new game if it's successful.

[@lordmonarch2995]

They will make a new game and remake old games if this collection does well. This was confirmed in a interview with the director of this game.

[@NoobKillerRoof]

9:00 - One of the many details that make it all seem wrong. It's hard to pick up on them all

[@freelikeojallday7543]

My first time with this series was playing it through this remastered collection and I'd say my experience was pretty good.

[@etherdemon9729]

[@matrix91234]

I played it on a pirated PS1 back in the day. The remake isnt too bad but i do miss the charm of PS1 graphics i guess.

[@sinchobe_]

Awesome as always

[@TheFireRed]

Great video, Austin! One thing to note at least in the Spanish localization is that is unfortunately very low quality and translators are not credited, which leads me to think it was rushed under machine translation and post-editing, a very common practice lately. It's okay-ish but not enjoyable to read. Otherwise I'm having a blast with it, I never played these games in my teenage years and I would've loved them back them. Having them accesible today is much more important.

[@tom13king]

Thank you for pointing out Bloom in Klonoa 2's remake, I was wondering why white objects glowed so much. You can't even see Klonoa's mouth because his lower face is so bright.

[@MatheusNiisama]

I'm glad I got to play the original version of Klonoa 1 before this remake came out, cause it looks like it kinda has it's own feel in many ways, specially when it comes to the pre rendered cutscenes. I'm glad they brought the original audio from the first game back cause that shit sounds weird and I like it because of that. Edit: also just found your channel and you're a god sent, I've been wishing for a channel like yours to exist for a while and i'm glad I finally found it.

[@GameCare]

Fantastically details comparison, exactly what I need as I intended to play the Wii version, but now see the Reverie series are closer to the original.

[@anguset]

Anyone else confused about "coyote jumping", at 3:28? Edit: I was confused cos I thought it was something unique to Klonoa; turns out it's where any videogame lets you jump for a few frames after walking off a ledge. Just in case I was not the only one in the dark about that

[@EnbyLite]

I'm still absolutely mad that we had to miss out on the Klonoa 1 & 2 costumes due to Namco never opening preorders in North America.

Amazing effort here, Digital Foundry level content, all the important bases covered and in such a straight to the point format, really, congratulations. Btw i was thinking of getting it on switch but now i'll probably get it on steam and play it on steam deck, since the inconsistent frame rate is an issue in action games like this.

[@crazyoldschool6342]

I really don't understand when remaking these games they don't include the original ones. Would of been nice if they would include the 1st one after beating the game. But honestly though I really like playing the PS5 version over the original.

[@ianbowden2524]

This is my biggest issue with "remakes" and why software/hardware emulation is very important for preserving the actual experience of a game with all it's original features and elements.

[@xanastarYT]

Never played the originals but LOVED these games via the remaster on Switch. Highly recommend picking them up and playing through them - even if some of these things are seen as downgrades by super fans, the entire experience is otherwise consistent and super enjoyable.

Well that was a REALLY detailed comparison. Thanks for that. I'm looking forward to the Switch version, but some of the gameplay impacts of the lower frame rate sound bothersome. Hard to be cool with it actually impacting the height of a jump.

It'd be very nice to see the PS1 version available broadly again. It was available on PS One classics in Europe but isn't any longer.

I had played only phantasy reverie series on switch, but I absolutely loved the game. I wish i could have experienced the original with its more heart wrenching fmv cutscenes, but i only have a switch. Klonoa 2 was really good though as that was more of a blind playthrough then klonoa 1

[@andr0zzsenpai]

I'll probably stick with the PS Classics version of Klonoa 1 on PS3/Vita, meanwhila for 2 I think emulating the PS2 version might be the best option for me since I preffer the lightning in the ps2 version. I'll get the remasters on Steam when in sale because 40 dollars it's just way too expensive for these two games IMO. Also can't wait for the Live A Live comparison!

[@MajorasMattGaming64]

Since I don’t have a ps2 nor do I feel like fighting with an emulator I just stuck with playing klonoa 2 via the remake and since it was the switch version I played I’ll be honest and say that stuff like the frame rate and input lag didn’t really hinder anything for me nor did it bother me all that much in fact I barely noticed it overall I’m just happy that I FINALLY got to experience klonoa 2

[@Nvizor-ej7jd]

[@NitroIndigo]

I had no idea there was a whirlwind move in the Wiimake.

[@MakoCabbit]

I played klonoa 1 on ps1 and is my favorite, klonoa 1+2 I liked the over all style of 1, but I notice some weird light problems (sometimes npc models look like they are not afected by the light) and the voices being a litle inconsistent, because some audioclips are beter quality, the ending was less powefull than the original (but I really didn't expect to be as good as the original) I think its an ok remaster and I'm really happy of buyin it

[@gishathosaurus6828]

The first one, basically. Door to Phantomile's cutscene "recreation" from Reverie Series is abysmal, gone is the cutesy and charm from the original. Also, where's the cel shading from Klonoa 2, why ain't it here?

[@antoniusstanley1366]

Kinda glad that lunatea veil finally got a remake it deserves.. Bandai namco planned to remake it on wii but they didn't but they just remade it on more powerful consoles.. It's just kinda overwhelming

[@tubguinace]

I bought a Japan import of phantasy reverie series on switch and I'm pretty sure it runs much better than the demo, it doesn't feel like the frame rate varies as much as the tests on KZbin say. I also got an update for it right away so maybe the Japanese version is more updated than in other regions? I don't know, I'm normally very sensitive to frame rates so it's odd that I haven't felt any of the problems people are reporting. The demo felt very laggy by comparison.

[@Mitchyx93]

Here's my take, I finally just got the fantasy reverie series on Steam this week. I've played Klonoa on the PS1 through at least 15 times since childhood, got the re-release of this original on the PS3 from the PSN store. I'd prefer this version, just needs a bit smoothening up, not a full 3d re-render. Klonoa 1 from the fantasy reverie series is good and has the replayability.. I just feel that they didn't capture certain environments as well. Vision 4 for example didn't give off the haunted vibes I got, I thought maybe its just old feelings, but I went back and seen more of a pastel blending of the blues in the renewed reverie.. It overall felt more lightened up, more foggy effects and less haunted. The color blending was so good actually combined with the 3d rendering on a platformer that I did jump into a couple of walls that I'd otherwise not, so maybe it's a me problem but I sort of prefer the original, just wish they could smoothen that up and re-release it just like that.. I definitely don't regret the purchase, it's worth a few playthroughs for sure and still haven't ever actually experienced Klonoa 2 in any format, so I'm pretty hyped for when I get the time.

[@toaker]

Please do more action game comparisons in the future.

[@MrMansfalumptuousflopper]

The developers did a great job with the ports but i just prefer the look and play of the originals, all the bloom and saturation in the remakes kind of loose the great atmosphere the original games had, its still a great collection though i would definitely recommend the remakes to anybody but dont buy the costumes or the soundtrack, apparently the soundtrack isn't even a digital download its a separate program you have to run in order to listen to the music and the costumes arent even good for the price, they feel like they should be unlockables in-game and not some DLC.

[@Joamori1054]

i think Klonoa 1 remaster should include the remake model as a bonus costume DLC or something, and also the remake voice acting too

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

Door to Phantomile is best played on PS1 if you ask me, a lot of its charm is missing and the compressed voice lines are really immersion breaking outside of the PS1 version. Klonoa 2 is best played as part of the Phantasy Reverie collection I think but they've gotta buff the hitbox of the wind bullet, it's absurd that you can't snag the enemies because of a 1 inch height difference between you and the enemy. Regardless I'm glad people checked Klonoa out after the trailer and it seems like we might get a Klonoa 3 thanks to the newfound interest.

[@Mnemoniforma9.00]

Worth noting that OG Lunatea's Veil crashes on fat PS3s.

I absolutely ADORED these modern ports of Klonoa, and they make yearn for modern follow up. It's shocking how well they hold up to modern day standards. There IS a strange issue in the PC version of Klonoa 2. It seems like while the game runs at an unlocked framerate, the camera seems to run at a stuttering 30-40fps. So when it pans, stuff looks really weird.

Could you do a video like this for Dragon’s Lair too? There's been a bit of discourse about the Arcade1Up version lately, and despite it being extremely faithful to the game, apparently it top, like all other ports of the game, has input delay.

I played this back on the original PlayStation when it was brand new. I never got a chance to play the second and I don't know why...too many games most likely was the cause. At any rate, I had no idea Klonoa and Klonoa 2 got re-released as full remakes on current generation consoles. As soon as I saw it, I bought it for our Series X and knowing my fiancee she is going to want it on our PS5 as well. That way we can both play at the same time...just waiting for the download to complete! Addendum- The only thing this collection is missing is the ability to play the originals in their untouched form. Both should be included as they were when they launched completely untouched minus aspect ratio. I also don't care for this DLC nonsense. Back when the original launched developers did all that they could to pack a game with everything they could to make a compelling package. Now, we're paying 20 bucks for pallet swaps...nope.

Really wish companies would port the original versions of these games to newer systems along with the remasters, for fans of the old and of the new. My copy of Klonoa 2 is damaged and won't get past the PS2 startup, but I don't want to pay $80 for a replacement, nostalgia be damned. I'm glad that this series is getting even a smidgen of attention these days, and I'll be getting this collection when it goes on sale. But, there will always be a part of me wishing I could just play the original. PS has 5 generations of games now - they really need to work on backwards compatibility, especially of series that were at least once a PS exclusive.

[@RSTLegacy]

I played klonoa 1 both in the wii remake and phantasy reverie presentations. it's such a shame they actually got rid of new features of the wii version, specially the costumes.. i appreciate a lot of details to make it closer to the PS1 original, however the wind bullet became annoying how short ranged is and how it lacks active frames, specially coming from the wii version as the one i played before, there were SO MANY TIMES, which i clearly saw my wind bullet visually touching the enemy yet apparently it didn't connect. Klonoa 2 it's my first time ever playing it due to not having a way to play the PS2 Original, while i think the wind bullet will still anoy me, at least i can now get to experience the game.

(I tried to do the same with the original Lunatea's Veil, but it kept crashing in Joliant, so I never finished it) While it does feel like I'm missing more in Phantasy Reverie more than I should, and that is rather frustrating, it's by far the most accessible way to play the games and I still enjoy them. On top of that, I've heard that this is to see if making new Klonoa content is worth Bandai Namco's time and money. Even if you own the original games and a few of these changes turns you off, please support Phantasy Reverie if you enjoy playing Klonoa. It might just die out again otherwise.

The klonoa phantasy reverie version since it's closer to the original one plus easier to play
