some friends I sent this video to said: "I don't get it". It's kinda hard for them to understand if they don't know who and what Kaim Argonar is. Why no one ever make a movie out of this? They even have money to trash on other junks ( Yes, I meant you Twilight).
Had you slowed down just slightly on some of this video it would have been perfect. It's not that I'm incapable of reading quick enough, but I won't enjoy it nearly as much....have to let me paint it all in my head.
when i first saw this story (which was a couple of years ago) i practiclly cried. i never ment to cry, i just....cried. it was so sad, but sweet at the same time. it still is.
This is the saddest shit ever. It's a shame people don't think video games are an art. (i'm looking at you Roger Ebert) If we let him read this I think he'd change his tune damn fast.
Check out my youtube channel guys. i'm actually narrating these stories. so far i've done hanna's departure and stones of heaven. i'm currently working on my third one, which should be finished in less than a week :)
Is there any more of these in HD? Ever since owning the game i've always wanted to get these in HD, and from a quick search can only see splitinfinity's non HD ones....
I am curious. Would it be possible for you to upload the other stories as well? I would like to show these to some friends as I am sure they may enjoy them as well.
what makes these so good is the fact it uses the images, music and sounds together to help create the atmosphere and feel as the story progresses, its genuis sakaguchi is the man :)
All dreams were great and emotional but this one is by far the most emotional in my opinion,ive let it read to someone who doesnt even played this game and still she had to cry too.
There's no shame in it. The same artistic mind that can write a story like Utopia, The Great Expectations or One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest can write a story for The Lost Odyssey, Final Fantasy 6 or Metal Gear Solid and those stories made people cry all the same.
I know while playing this game I would always think "This next dream is going to be a let down." WRONG. I opened all of them and they were all great. I can't say which is best or worst because I loved them all. I just wish there was more.
I'd just like to point out that Kiyoshi Shigematsu was the one who initially made these stories but then they were translated into english by a Professor.
One of the ATYoD's that you guys should check out is "Signpost"
yeah, i should probably give Kiyoshi Shigematsu much credit. And Signpost is a good dream, but i liked Stones of Heaven better. Whatever, all of them are good!
I've never played a game that got me misty within such a short amount of time. It's rare enough for it to get me misty at all but this story had the ducts going. So well written and the music works so perfectly. Thanks for uploading this :)
there are so many awesome dream sequences. A few of my favourites were Lottery of Life, Old Man Greo, Grandma Coto's Bread and one more. I forgot the title of it but it had to do with the juvenile prison
Ok I don't post on anything here on Youtube...but this is the first time I just wanted to post something. This video was sent to me by a friend who is playing this game and I nearly cry. It got worse when it said "Well meet again. His final lie to her." That part hit me like a Mac Truck lol. This is one of the saddest things I've seen in a video game that made me cry a little.
whats the track name for the first song playing in this memory?

Oh my God... I just saw this today after years of procrastinating to play this.
This game just immortalized itself into my brain in less than an hour.
This is genius... if this game's gonna play out like this, I may have found my favorite RPG of all time.

I cried the first time I read this when playing the game.
Not just tears in my eyes, I literally cried.
Especially the ending, the metaphorical images in the background, the music, those last words Kaim said to her, it just broke me.
In fact. I got tears in my eyes right now! Not sure if I wanna watch it again! xD
