I kinda squinted at the Trails of Cold Steel thing, because it is one of the few jrpgs I actually like. Just that series in general. Same to Tales of games, which rely on more technical things for harder difficulties. But if I have to say why I love SMT, me, the viewer? - Great Combat. - Game never waste my time. - Stat builds that make you commit to a certain play style for the Main Character. - Usually great Music. - Great Atmosphere. - Every enemy has some type of unique design and personality. - Overall, just challenging. - It has a great magic system, that I have way less criticism of than say something like FF as a series. Where in some games, magic at a point becomes useless. Never the case in SMT, everything has an application at all points in the game. - Boss fights are usually great. Even the horde ones when there is more than one enemy. - Battle Rules apply to everyone, and there are even unique strategies and synergies for some fights, and if we are technical, infinite stat build options also can help determine what you'd do build wise, or what you can situationally flex into. Just, good stuff. Great stuff even.

@@trickortriq I need to go back to play that one. But from what I seen, outside of graphics and the Arcus/Pair up mechanic, it isn't too different from what I can see. Battle wise, the Quartz/Arcus system is. "What if we took the Materia System from FF7, and made it a bit more fleshed out and interesting, or Unique?" And no disrespect to FF7, I love that game. But the Materia system is sorta bare in places. "Here is skills." But if you upgrade some quartz, you make some have additional effects and stats that can expand on the character by adding passives. Granted, I'm that weirdo who did TOCS1 on Nightmare first. Some bosses can be a fucking headache without the right set up. So anything that required exclusively magic, were sorta unfun. There is some anime bs I didn't care for, but I otherwise saw the characters as decently grounded and relatable. So TOCS has a lot of good things going for it if you can get passed the exposition heavy nature. Exposition in any setting or game isn't inherently bad, it is just how you handle or pace it that can make it feel like meandering. And I mean Golden Sun levels of it. The only thing that was WEIRD to me was. "Craft" are a character's unique moves. But "Arts", are magic. You'd think it is the other way around due to an "Art" feeling like a technique you learned or honed. And a "Craft", being the designated spell or magic effect from the Quartz. Either way, I think you'll love the series. And that is coming from someone who traditionally cannot get into anime.

The fact that Hidehito Aoki didn't score a single game between Persona 1 in 1996 and his tragic death in 2002 is an absolute tragedy. Why did he shift to only doing "sound design" and "production"? Did he lack confidence in his abilities? I guess we'll never know, but the music he left us will live on, I know that for a fact. Actually, it's something of a trend in the games industry that great composers like Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu end up relegated (or relegate themselves) to the roles of "sound supervisor" or whatever, and the people who come after them struggle to recapture the same magic. VGM seriously needs to get more recognition as a "serious" art form.

It’s possible that he wanted other composers to have their time in the spotlight. The reason Kazuma Kaneko didn’t do the artwork for Persona 3 was because he wanted Soejima to gain experience. It’s incredibly disheartening though he didn’t work on anything after his work on Persona 1. I know he would’ve killed it. RIP Legend

Complains about the character growth and his excuse to it was that persona 2 did it first. That was a bad critique of he felt that he didn't like the character development. In his persona 4 video. It felt like he was actually being open minded to the game and its flaws. But persona 3 vid felt like he just went in to bash on the game.

Yoo deadass, Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door is one of the greatest games of all time no cap! All of the stuff you said about it made me realize how legendary that game was. It was one of the only games that once you beat (for me atleast) you immediately want to replay it. Like the only other game to do that for me was prob Kingdom Hearts 2 or something lol. Pmtyd so goddamn wholesome

I agree with the points you made in this video and I can agree with some points you made in your persona 3 & 4 video and can respect why you’d dislike those games, it’s interesting seeing what people think about these games and trying to learn more about what people think about them even if the opinion is criticizing the game I still respect it regardless

Nocturne got me into SMT. But my first game on the entire persona/smt universe was Persona 3 back on 2013. I was uh 20yo internship so decided to play it on my day off and was one of my best choices. But Nocturne definitely made me play other smt games like strange journey, devil Survivor (during quarantine) and recently digital devil saga.

Been meaning to try out the "Trails of" series for the longest time. No one ever shuts up about how good they are, and if Simply Dad hates it, it's probably lit. Any recommendations on where I should start?
@k.s854

Trails is absolutely amazing! The best starting points are either Trails in the Sky first Chapter or Trails of Cold Steel. Trails in the Sky First Chapter is considered the best starting point however it may be a bit hard to get into as it is a bit old and some people don't like the slow start, however it is still a great RPG. Trails of Cold Steel(The one shown in the video) is also a great starting point. It's a lot more modern and it's similar to persona if you happen to be a persona fan. Honestly I started with Cold Steel and had a blast. Feel free to ask me if you have more questions!

@@k.s854 Well, I'm just about done with SMT if.. and I love it despite it being pretty dated. Old or archaic mechanics definitely won't bother or stop me. So Trails in the Sky it is! One more question, is there a definitive version? Like should I play the PSP or Steam version, or does it really matter at all?
@k.s854

@@cornmuffin7686 The steam version is the best place to get Trails in the Sky. It has turbo mode( allows you to speed up the the animations which is amazing considering that the battle animations are slow) and is considered as the definitive edition. Also Trails in the sky isn't too archaic in terms of game play I'd say it still holds up pretty well. The story starts off kind of slow but if you give it some time if turns into a epic tale with incredible world building and well developed characters. In case you didn't know Trails in the Sky is a Trilogy but for now I'd suggest trying the first game and see if the series is for you. Have fun!

@Corn Muffin No problem. It makes me happy to see people give this series a chance. What I really love about this series is that since every game is connected, the series really has a chance to flesh out it's world. Events that happen in one country/arc affect the countries/arcs you visit in the next set of games. and It's really awesome to see characters from past arcs appear even in the newest games. You take care as well! (I'll also write the proper play order in case you decide to continue playing the series) 1.Trails in the Sky First Chapter 2.Trails in the Sky Second Chapter 3.Trails in the Sky The Third 4. Trails From Zero 5. Trails To Azure (Trails From Zero and Azure weren't localized however a great Fan translation by the Geofront exists. More info on how to get the games are on their website. Zero has been translated by the Geofront but Azure is still being worked on. There still is another translation for Azure it’s perfectly playable but when The Geofronts patch come out it’s expected to be better than the current translation.) 6. Trails of Cold Steel 7.Trails of Cold Steel 2 8.Trails of Cold Steel 3 9.Trails of Cold Steel 4 10. Hajimari no Kiseki ( will probably be localized soon)

nocturnes was the first SMT game I played. I have never once since then leveled my character in an rpg to 99 from playing it so much. That game was fucking amazing. Digital Devil Sage 1/2 were also top notch. The music hands down beats most of whats out there. Cant wait to get my hands on SMT 5 and SMT 3 Nocturnes remaster when it comes out next spring. gonna be a good time.
