This is a talented introduction that keeps itself formal, yet displays a detailed history and an obvious passion for this series. Equally suited for both formal presentation, and leisure delight. It grabs the interests of those watching, wonderful.
Lol awesome, this feels like a gaming documentary on Discovery with the obligatory english accent of the narrator. This is a compliment btw! Good stuff TB.
Man, I miss the old TB, Killing him in planetside and having my jaw drop when I stumbled upon this video so many years ago,
Then stumbling on him again when I saw WTF is LoL, Unfortunately he is going to ignore everyone in planetside 2 and have a posse following him and killing everybody who touches him, Man, TB was so much happier and nicer back in the day "Excluding planetside forums, of course"
One of his most recent tweets "Had an idea for a new series, can't wait to get back and start on it." one tweet later "It's not a fucking Let's-Play." Lol, TB, I love you ^^
For those who watch this and want SF 1, 2 or Shining in the Darkness, they are on Steam for $3 each or you can buy the sega pack (#4) for $7.50, US currency.
I forgot to put it in there, but long live the old tactical games. They actually made you think about your moves, as you stated in the first battle video, "You don't try to take no damage, but have someone buffed up enough to take it, and a healer ready to help them out" I know that wasn't the exact quote, but I always find myself going back to the oldies, as my Shining Force, Doom95, and Quake II. Just gotta love the classics huh?
Quite decent narration, with only a couple quibbles (gaiden pronounced "guy-DAN", and suikoden pronounced "sudoken"). Nice to see an awesome game (which I own) given the love it deserves. It should be noted, however, that in Japan the Saturn was relatively successful, but Japan's market alone is certainly not enough to prop up the rest of the world.
@draakgast srry for taking so long to answer, i dont pay much attentio to my youtube account... but ok here goes:
for emulator i chose the SSF_011_alpha_R5 (google it and download it, easy)
for the games, TRANSLATED (OH YEAH!!), google (shining force III translation project and follow the instructions on the website, if u r having any problems let me know!
I feel like a fool. Why, you're most certainly not asking? I thought this was going to have some semblance of gameplay. Yet lo and behold, I did not read the description until after 4:50.
Amazing job, this project brings back many fantastic memories. It's ashame most fans of the Shining Force series never had the opportunity to play scenarios two and three
Awesome. I've started to play through Shining Force III part 1 again for like the fifth time also, and will be going onto parts 2 and 3 for the first time aswell.
Will be sure to watch your videos as I play along.
Very nice job with the intro but there are a couple mistakes. Shining in the Darknesse was the first Shining game. You also forgot to mention the other Shining dungeon crawler called Shining the Holy Ark for the Saturn.
Ermm, Shining in the Darkness was mentioned as the first shining game at 0:44. Shining the Holy Ark has no relevance to a history of Shining Force, which this is. It's a dungeon-crawler, and this is an introduction to the Shining Force series, not the Shining series.
I disagree. shining the holy ark definitely has relevance to shining force 3. they take place in the same world except shining the holy ark takes place 10 years earlier. you even encounter julian, the lead character in shining force 3 he tells you he lost his father when he was investigating a haunted house in the woods. later on in sf3 he wants to revenge his death by killing the legendary galm, the strongest of all vandals as julian finds out he killed his father. it's amazing storytelling
Look man, what you think was said and what was actually said, are two very different things. I have the script for this video right here, and Shining the Holy Ark isn't mentioned once. Criticism is fine, it helps one get better, but making things up is not helpful.
Why don't you try to make a professional career out of your voice, as narrator for TV programmes TB? This is really awesomely done TB, your voice is pure awesome, especially when serious/sombre.
I'm trying to play Shining Force III in SSF, but the emulator doesn't support high resolutions, making the game very hard on the eyes.
