I can't believe this still doesn't have an english translation. Really, this should have gotten an official international release. These are themes and characters that just about anybody can connect to, and JRPGs were certainly profitable and popular at the time. I'm actually a little baffled that this has never made it out of Japan.

Hello, I’m currently working on a translation patch for this game. If anyone out there is fluent in Japanese and interested in taking part in the script translation, please feel free to reach out. I am currently working on the ASM modifications and hope to have a script dumped in the next few weeks.

Thanks, but I've been pretty consistent with KZitem lately...I think. As far as making videos more regularly...I'm not sure, I always just make them when I feel like it or have the time. My responsibilities at work have more than tripled from last year, so I'm surprised I even put out as much as I did this year. If I had all the time (and motivation) in the world, of course I'd love to put out so much...but as it stands, I'll just have to treat this like I do now--as a hobby.

Yeah, it's good to try something new, especially if it's something you've wanted to try for a long time. It's so easy these days to study a new language with the internet and smartphones, there's really not much to keep you from realistically doing so. Also, that song is the intro and ending theme of this game. Someone uploaded the game soundtrack to KZitem, so you should be able to find it there.

I've managed to beat the game even though I don't speak Japanese. I used google translator on my smartphone and I was literally taking picture of every single dialogue and text and I was selecting text (Japanese signs) and translated them on the fly. The method seems complicated but it is not. It's slowing down conversation parts by 20 or 30% because of constant picture taking but that is just about it. Sometimes that translator will roughly translate text very well, but for the most part it will have a various degree of success, but I was managed to understand what I needed to do to progress. And eventually, after several episodes in the game, I got to know the game mechanic and the way it plays (delivers quests and everything) so playing became easier. Luckily, the game itself isn't hard nor the battles are complicated so eventually you get to learn what section in menu does what. I really wish London in game is bigger with more buildings to enter. Also, some parts of the city were heavily utilized through many quests while others were probably once during the whole game. And rooftops are pretty much useless through entire game. You can walk on many rooftops but the quest forced you to step on the first rooftop maybe once and that is it. But nevertheless, it's a fun JRPG, and I really don't get why Bandai didn't localize it.. I mean, it's a game set in London, and nobody there speaks English? :D

I'm also one of those people that feels the golden age of RPGs was the PS1 era. There was some great stuff on the SNES and Genesis, but so many of my favorites were on the PS1. I really like the look and setting of this one, and it's really awesome that they added a Wayne's World reference and let you save anywhere. Really wish more games would let you do that. This one is definitely going on the wishlist.

The downside is that I do not understand a word of japanese!! So I'm missing out the dialogue!! But the setting is fantastic and pulls me in every time a played it!! Another thing is the MUSIC!! Great and compeling all the way trough, helping imerse ourselves in the journey!! One music that BLOW my mind was the first dungeon music !!! So cool and atmospheric!! It is so damm good that I've come back to hear it again, but the music changed to the same town music that was playing before (witch is in itself so good to!!) Well, I wil just finished by saying two things!! One, This is my ALLTIME FAVE RPG in psx so far!! i do not care a bit about what people say!! It is like my favorite saturn RPGs (Tengai Makyou IV and Gulliver Boy!!) despite all of then being in japanese (the gist is about 20% understandeble, and in cutscenes it scales up to 60% I think!!) That is why I'm somehow trying to learn japanese!! The second thing is..... Where do I find the HAPA-VISION television???!! It seems to be a quality product trough and trough!! Send me one right away!!kkkkkk Thanks again buddy, to uncover another great hidden gem!! God bless you Jimmy!!!

I had to resort to searching for it in the original Kanji(?, correct me if I'm wrong about that) I managed to find it on Amazon using this 倫敦精霊探偵団 and got my copy for under $20. Keep up the great work, and I'll sit waiting patiently for the Valkyrie video that I hope to see one day.

Funny thing about ElDorado Gate too, I went on Ebay just out of curiosity and looked around (and man are vol. 6 & 7 not cheap) but found a complete set of all 7 for $150 shipped. $21 a piece is a bit pricey, but when the later vols. are upper $30-60, I think I did pretty good. Considering separately I would have spent $160+shipping. Won't be able to read them, still will be nice to have all of them after being interested in them since I did a majority of my DC collecting back in 2001-2003. (scary how much games like Power Stone 2 and other Capcom DC games sell for these days, especially when I was getting them $10-15 new back then).

I'm only a third of the way in, and I think I regret never having played this game already.

Yeah, it's pretty damned funny! I forgot to include it in the video (despite recording voice over for it), but he also runs away from cops every time he sees them...I know it's probably because he's a runaway, but I want to imagine it's because the Londonian coppers must take some sick joy in beating the little guy with clubs, and Buddy ain't having it.

Even with the bell ticked I'm still not getting updates when they happen. :/ Anyway, this one really looks like something right up my alley. As a fan of 32-bit JRPGs and being a Brit I'd love to see how my country's culture and history are interpreted in that style. Plus I love the isometric sprites, the bizarre yet ordinary setting, and the unconventional heroes and villains. Can't find it on eBay atm, but hopefully I can pick this one up in the future, just need to get on with learning Japanese. Dunno where to start though, written language or verbal? Both are going to be a challenge but I can do the latter on the bus to work easily.

FRPG? As in Faggy Role-Playing Game? Glad you enjoyed the video, despite your personal biases. You know I'm not the biggest FRPG fan either, but this was a really fun game. Yeah, I never do holiday-themed episodes, because they're like FRPGs. Maybe next year for Halloween? Anyway, enjoyed the Shitmas video you did. Keep it up (that's what she said).

Nice more great games ! Althought i have to say there is something odd about the game when it comes to the sprites and the background,they don't match well,the sprites are too vividly colorful while the background is more realistic and paler....still would play the game. Also the jokes felt kinda out of place,probably cause you didn't change the tone of your voice so they felt kinda awkward,blending with the rest of the smooth description of the game but other than that cool video,totally will watch again during summer break~

Bigger channels are usually not interested in collaborating with small ones like mine, but I've done some fun things with Super Derek and a few others. I have a playlist of collaborations on my channel page. I've played a few Japanese FMV games, and hope to talk about at least one sometime in the future. It's a genre that doesn't get much attention.

The sad part of some of your videos is that me (like many others) will never be able to enjoy this awesome games because of the language barrier. Let's hope that a translation patch comes out some day. And the end music is from the game? It's really catchy. Cheers!

I hope for a translation for this game and many others as well. I'd love it if more people got to experience the games I'm sure they'd love if there were no language barriers. And yep, that music is from the game's intro and credits--one of the catchier themes from the game.

Wait, you have a hard time going back to JRPGs from the PS1 era? Seriously? I've played games like Threads of Fate, Parasite Eve, Grandia, Final Fantasy VII, and FF IX for the first time all within the past 5 years and really enjoyed each one. I was born in 1989 and was mostly a social gamer growing up so I missed out on a ton of great single player games. The PS1, N64, and PS2 were my childhood, and even just playing local multiplayer games with my friends was a blast.

I love the JRPGs of the PS1 era, as you probably know if you've seen this video, but I do have a hard time going back to many, especially the "traditional" ones...but I think it's mostly because I my time is so limited now as an adult, and it's hard to justify spending so much time on the grind when I have so many other responsibilities. It's something that creeps into the back of my head while I'm gaining AP for my materia or making my way to the final floor of the ultimate optional dungeon...

The crosshatching in the smooth single color areas isn't from JPEG compression. It's an issue with crosstalk in the RGB cabling. If you get shielded cables or cables with sync-on-luma you will not have that problem.

Much appreciated! I don't think I'll need any sort of outside help with my videos--I'm not doing anything groundbreaking or particularly difficult--but thanks for the offer. As far as how long my videos take to make--I do spend a lot of time in the process, but if I pushed myself I could release videos more frequently. Motivation/inspiration is probably what holds me back the most...that and real life, of course, ha ha.
