My 3DS memories had me more afraid of the last boss than I needed to be. I remembered it being harder, despite being prepared roughly the same back then.
Wasn't entirely happy with how the fight ended up playing out, I didn't want to resort to so many sprinkles near the end, but the poor AI prioritization forced my hand. The "only control one character" system falls apart spectacularly in those situations, particularly with healers. Hyper Sprinkles are OP, but I didn't want two characters wasting turns reviving me so I used one. Didn't really matter in the end, but I only noticed after the recording that I had forgotten to switch from the outfits I was collecting to the strongest outfit I had on my Pop Star, TheSimsung.
Outside of my 3DS Mii, Bipsterion, I made the entire cast of Miitopia from scratch on this playthrough. I had no ideas for most of the characters so the majority were just faces with "randomized" features and gibberish names, though I did sprinkle in some more ordinary faces here and there for some contrast. Fun fact, after finishing the game I searched online for many of the character names, and a few of them were such gibberish that they didn't even have spam results, like Mologriane or Tryghuil (the horse). The thought of making "Pwisgin" exactly as shown in the preceding scene did cross my mind.
So yeah, another RPG video, recorded before the FFPRs came out. Been in a powerful RPG mood recently, it seems. I have a bunch of stuff recorded that I've been too lazy to trim, maybe I'll find something in a different genre for some variety.
I also had to crop out like 20 pixels from the left side of the screen and stretch the image until the scene before the ending, because my mouse cursor appeared on the recording, despite being on another monitor at the time. Lesson is to not have the cursor hugging the edge.

Mario 120 Stars: Youre here.
Luigi 120 Stars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa_LnHEBNmI
This is the first stream of a two-parter stream split between two days, the first [Mario] was 120 Stars as Mario ending with the storybook, and the second [Luigi] being 120 Stars with Luigi, ending with Grand Finale Galaxy.
Funnily enough I had genuine consideration for doing the entire other half right after this, but in the end I decided to just do the 120 Stars. I wasnt 100% sure if Id feel up for replaying the game for what would be the fourth time this week, but I did.

A rare event where Ive clipped a portion of a stream and used it for a video. If you want to see the full playthrough, you can find them on my channel or the links below. Had to split it into two parts due to YouTubes length limit of 12 hours.

I ended up missing the Omake Mode by ending the stream early, so I added it into this one to make this video a little more unique. To access it, you have to defeat all five Bunny Sisters (in Ervad, Kildale, Hvovi, Virgil and Marguan), then you have to defeat Bunny Black at the Casino in the City of the Dead located inside Dadarwa Forest, southeast of Fuwals shrine. Finally, you have to beat the game and idle on the MediaWorks logo at the very end for about 5 minutes, after which it automatically takes you to the easter egg.
After spending the last two weeks playing this game through four times, I finally figured out that Intelligence is indeed magic defense, its just really confusing because magic has fixed damage and seemingly cant be reduced past 50% effectiveness. Overall a very useless stat.

The stream had to be split into two parts due to YouTubes 12-hour limit. I tried to pick a spot where splitting it would make the parts about even in length without too severely interrupting an ongoing story situation.

Emerald Dragon is an obscure RPG that was released on multiple systems, but never left Japan. Thankfully, the Super Famicom release has an English fan translation by Translation Corporation (hence the wacky intro). Much like Mystic Ark, I fell in love with the games music and I simply had to try it out. The Field Battle theme still blows me away to this day.
Its a great game if you have enough fortitude for the battle system. Enemy encounters are random, very frequent and can contain an enormous quantity of enemies. Combining this with the fact that you are only ever truly in control of one single character in your party of up-to-five members, theres a lot of just watching things play out, even if you have the ability to tell the AI-controlled characters to target specific opponents. Some random encounters can actually last longer than some boss fights, which is crazy. The random encounter around 2:19:15 is a good example, lasting over 5 minutes.
Emerald Dragon is one of those games I had waiting as a to-do game for years and years; I still have one stray part 1 from 2011 when I was planning to finally do a playthrough of it, which evidently didnt work out.
Stream title should be obvious if youre aware of the game. Live notification is was just something I wrote to keep it from being a generic live message, trying to imitate the all-too-familiar sound of missing every attack.
Added a basic thumbnail so its easier to tell part one apart from part another.

Stream Description: A playthrough of the Super Famicom version of Emerald Dragon using an English translation patch. I dont have a clear estimate for the length, so I dont know if this will be a two-parter. Ill try to go through as much of the dialogue as I can, but I will definitely miss several chats, inn visits and NPC lines.
Considering the potential length of the stream (very likely well over 10 hours), I may take very short breaks.
