Hey everyone! Today I have another unboxing video for you all. This time, we’re looking at Phantom Brave, the Lost Hero.
I was lucky enough to be sent the Limited Edition Version of Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, which is set for release in a few days, so a huge thank you goes to NIS America for doing this.
Before we get into it, here’s a bit of information about the game. Phantom Brave, The Lost Hero, is the first new game in the Phantom Brave series, following the original PS2 release all the way back in 2004. The Lost Hero takes place Six months after the events of the original game, and follows Marona, a young girl able to summon phantoms and grant them physical forms by confining them into objects. These abilities then translate over to the strategic battles, where Marona summons these phantoms into specific objects on the battlefield. If you’re into Lighthearted strategy RPGs, then Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, should not be missed.
💬 Also, I'd love to know what thought about the game, or if you plan on playing it in the future, so let me know in the comments below.

No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch! Looking in from a distance, there isn’t too much here that align with my tastes. Between the childish, cutesy characters, and the odd sounding name, which translates The Country of Two: The Wrath of the White Witch, I would have quite easy passed on this way back in, 2013. But, you know, the general hype that this game received made it pretty hard to ignore. This is largely due to the collaboration with Studio Ghibli; the guys who made Princess Mononoki, Spirited away and all those other masterpieces. It really didn’t take me long to see that the quality of their films carried over to this game. Ni No Kuni did not spare any expense. It is a beautiful, huge game and one of the best JRPGs released in in the 2010s.
If you missed this classic in 2013, it was recently remastered for the PS4 and PC, and ported to the Switch, so there are no excuses not to check this one out!

Sea of Stars! Ever since its highly successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2020, the hype for this gorgeous retro style RPG has been huge! Sea of Stars, developed by Sabotage Studio, is set 1000 years before their debut game, the Messenger, which was a very well received action-platformer released in 2018.
Long story short, Sea of Stars is sensational, and I know it sounds cliché, but it really is a love letter to SNES era JRPGs, with clear inspirations from games like Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG and Lufia.
If you’re a fan of these classic experiences, then playing Sea of Stars should be a no brainer. Watch this review to find out why!

Hello everyone! Its been a while since I’ve released a Suikoden video. Too long if you ask me. But with the upcoming release of both the Suikoden 1 and 2 Remaster, and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred heroes, what better time to release one, than now?
This video is going to be a countdown, ranking all of the mainline Suikoden games from my least favorite, to my favorite. And just remember, this is just my list. I know there are many out there who will have different opinions, and I’d love to hear them, so let me know how you rank the series in the comments below.

![BEST JRPGs of the 2000s! [By year]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TuN75GP-t1U/mqdefault.jpg "BEST JRPGs of the 2000s! [By year]
Hello everyone! Last time, we looked into the best JRPGs released in 90s, but that was SO last week!
Today, we’re jumping into the top JRPGs from the 2000s!
This decade saw some pretty dark times, there’s no denying that, but there were, at least, some positives here. It was a decade with some pretty amazing JRPGs. After the powerhouse era that was the 90s, how did the 2000s hold up for the genre? Did it continue strong, or fall short compared to what many consider the ‘golden age’ of JRPGs.
This video will follow the same format, with the same rules, as my previous videos of the 90s. I’ll be choosing one single JRPG for each year, and the release dates will be when they were first released in Japan.

It’s been a few weeks since Eiyuden Chronciles: Hundred Heroes has been released, and since then, I’ve been in complete Eiyuden mode. Overall, I really loved the game, and it’s something that hope continues for many more installments. One thing that Hundred Heroes did particularly well was its mini games, and that’s just what todays video is all about.
I’m going to be ranking, rating, and reviewing, all of the Eiyuden Chronicles mini-games.

![Live a Live - Review [A 90s JRPG, TODAY!] - Switch](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U7abhtmGwSI/mqdefault.jpg "Live a Live - Review [A 90s JRPG, TODAY!] - Switch
Back in 1994, square released a little RPG on the Super Famicom called Live-a-Live. On release, it was met with disappointing sales, when compared to the Final Fantasy series. And that was it, Live-a-Live remained in Japan, never to officially venture out to the rest of the world.
Until 2022 that is! Where Live-a-Live was finally remade in that pretty HD2D style that we all love! This game is a very different kind of RPG. It’s basically a collection of completely unrelated, short stories, that are each lovable in their own way. For those of you who are fans of 16bit era RPGs, and want to experience something fresh, than Live-a-Live is definitely worth a look.

![Flowstone Saga - Review [A MUST PLAY Tetris style JRPG!]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U9wVwMI1dQY/mqdefault.jpg "Flowstone Saga - Review [A MUST PLAY Tetris style JRPG!]
It takes something special, something different, about an Indi JRPG to get me excited. Crazy visuals, some sort of unique mechanic, or even just a trailer that screams my name. For Flowstone Saga, it’s the combat mechanics!
Flowstone saga is exactly what you would get if you crossed a quality, 16-bit, retro-JRPG, with the worlds best selling video game, Tetris.
I’ve never really been a Tetris fan. But now, I’m a tetris fan. Actually, I’m a Flowstone Saga fan, and a HUGE one at that.
If there’s anything about this game that looks like it may interest you, give it a go. Whether you’re a Tetris fan or not, it doesn’t matter. Flowstone Saga is an excellent JRPG and it should not be missed. I would even place it at the level of other recent Indi JRPGs Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars!

![Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Review [A different kind of RPG] (PS5, Switch, Xbox X/S, PC)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UcjZS0azTJY/mqdefault.jpg "Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Review [A different kind of RPG] (PS5, Switch, Xbox X/S, PC)
Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong is part of a series that I’ve been interested in for a long time. This series started out as a tabletop RPG in 1991 as part of the World of Darkness setting line. Nearly a decade later, the series was first adapted into the world of video games, with Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption being met with mixed reviews. But it wasn’t until 2004s Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, that I was first introduced to the series. It was an absolute technical disaster, but despite this, it had a lot going for it, and I’ve been a fan even since. The dark, mature atmosphere, and the vampire politics drew me in, and I’ve been longing for a similar experience ever since.
Vampire: The Masquerade Swansong, is not the game that was going to quench my thirst for more blood, but it did at least scratch an itch. Swansong is a different beast all together. Where Bloodlines is all about roaming the city at night, feeding on the unsuspecting, and destroying everything that stands in your way, Swansong, is more about learning about the rich world, solving puzzles, and uncovering a local mystery.
Is it worth playing? Watch this review and find out!

After the original Final Fantasy title sold over half a million copies in Japan, it really didn’t take long for Squaresoft to capitalize on this success with a sequel. Final Fantasy II was released from the NES in 1988, only a year after the original, and although it received some decent reviews in Japan at the time, it is now widely considered as the weakest in the series.
Final Fantasy 2 did quite a few things differently, but with this, came a fair share of problems. Problems that will drive you insane. However, I also know that there are many people out there who are interested in seeing how this series started, for better or for worse, and it’s to those people that I say: This is NEARLY the perfect way to experience FF2.
