Japanese games are masterpieces.
Japanese games are masterpieces.
Many Japanese "RPG games and mystery games" are masterpieces with stories as great as those in movies.
However, many lesser-known works are not well known, especially abroad, as few are sold as international editions.
In this channel, we will focus on Japanese "RPG games and Mystery games" and will tell you how great they are.

Well, FF8-2 as a sequel or prequel could delve deep on all this.
But I don't think the current staff can create a good story, so I think the way things are now is fine 😅
amazing!
Thank you ❤️
great video damn
Thanks for comment.
Regarding the confirmation of the Hyne theory, is it correct to say that in lore what remains of him in the human world is simply his skin? When considering the final form of Ultimecia (or Hyne), the design strongly suggests that the Ultimecia/Rinoa entity at the bottom is junctioned to that skin as the face is empty, so the body. Really interesting and opening eyes video ❤
Thanks for comment. I don't think there was any mention of skin. The legend simply says that the upper half of the body disappeared and the lower half came into human hands.
@JapaneseGames007 that's quite intriguing. It appears there may have been a mistranslation from Japanese to English. In the English translation, for some strange reason, they translated "Hyne half" to "skin". There is theory about Hyne half being Hein from FF3, and Japanese source makes it a little bit invalid, as Hein is depicted as a skeleton and therefore does not "lack the skin". But their spelling in English, Hyne and Hein, is still the same.
@@JapaneseGames007 I wonder how many mistranslation the game might have as it spans theories that contradict the creators vision.
Imagine how much more engaging this would be with audio???? Text moves too fast… can we collab and I’ll generate a voice track for this video???? 📈📈
I wish games were developed with such complex story and hidden plots. The Sorcerer powers inheritance is like "what is first ,the egg or the chicken". Rinoa's fear was to remain alone, she was stuck in time loop and the only one who was able to free her was her love Squall. This video explained so well every missing detail. TY so much.
These complex stories could be said to be the product of chance. I think this is the most complex and beautiful story in the FF series.
Let me voice over for you
Sorry, I'm a Japanese person who can't speak English. I have no choice but to use the robot voice. I'm trying to learn English, but it's difficult...
OMG DRAGON QUEST LORE?!? I never thought I’d see the day! What a beautiful day it is 😭😭
Thanks for your comment. This is just a hypothesis, but I think it's a pretty interesting one（Haha）
i love how similar the bagworm looks. it's such an inspired and interesting design
It's amazing how Toriyama was able to create so many wonderful characters from those rough sketches ♪
Good theory. I have theorized before that the shadow in Obel lake was related to hyne because he was saying something about a village in centra but it was only ruins. And that the ''Power'' sorceress needed to pass to ''survive'' was Hyne's other half.
I think that is a possible hypothesis. By the way, I got an interesting hypothesis from this comment section. The theory is that "Golbez", who appears in FF4, and "Zebarga", who is thought to be the upper body of the Ultima Weapon, are the same person. The alphabet of Zebarga has not been made public, but Golbez written backwards becomes Zebarga, and both are people associated with the moon. However, I think it's unlikely that Zebarga & Golbez are the same person, and I think the naming was just a playful choice on the part of the production staff（Haha）
Great video
Thanks!
this is the best R=U video i've even watched :)
Thank you! I'm happy♪
@@JapaneseGames007 please create more ff8 contents. ff8 is my most favorite ^_^
I've been a bit busy lately and there are a lot of other videos I want to make, but I'll do my best!
@@JapaneseGames007 thank you so much ^_^
Great video! Could the upper body of Ultima Weapon (Zebalga) be Golbez from FF4? If spelled backwards, "Golbez" becomes "Zeblog", which sounds a little bit like "Zebalga"...Could both words be anadromes in japanese? 🤔 When the old man in Balamb tells the story of Hyne to his grandchild, there's a picture of a whale in the background...If Zebalga is Golbez...Could that be a reference to the Lunar Whale in FF4? 🤔
I had never thought of that hypothesis, but it's an interesting one! Anagrams where the letters of a name are turned upside down are a common practice in the FF series, so I don't think the possibility of that hypothesis is zero. By the way, FF7 REBIRTH also had an anagram that turned the name upside down.
Didn't 10-2 include some text logs implying a distant connection to 7? In fact the computer kid was named Shinra...
In FF7 REMAKE, photos taken by employees of Shinra Company are displayed inside the building, and in the middle of the photo there is a person who looks like Shinra from FF10-2. I actually want to make a video summarizing the points that connect FF7 and FF10, but I've been so busy that I don't have time...
I enjoyed that! The banter between Ken and Tomoka is very charming. Thanks for your hard work, I'm looking forward to the next episode!
Thank you! It was worth making it. EP2 is currently in production, so please look forward to it ♪
I'd always thought Empty Hyne was Odin A physical Beat Stick that doesn't use magic just Powerful Hits (ohko zantetsuken)
Interesting hypothesis ♪
Great video! My 3 favorite composers are, in that order: Yasunori Mitsuda, Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu However, my 3 favorite Square Enix songs are: "The girl who the stole the stars" (Chrono cross), "Balamb Garden" (Final Fantasy VIII) and "Song of Healing" (Zelda Majora's Mask).
Thanks for comment. Your favorite BGM is an expert's choice (Haha)
I've been watching some of the videos you've made, and I'm amazed at how well you can create them in such a short span of time!!
Hahaha thank you! I also liked your top 3. Just curious, you are Japanese, correct?! By the way, I don't know if I said it before, but I'm Brazilian, but I dream of visiting Japan one day. @@JapaneseGames007
Thanks *-* I think I can make the videos quickly, because I've gotten used to the program I use. It's the "Power Director" app. I edit everything just on my cell phone. I've never edited on a PC, because I haven't had the patience to learn yet hahaha. NOTE: Your video "about Hyne" was the best I've seen about Final Fantasy VIII so far in my life. So much so that I've watched it several times and even used it as a basis to make one of my videos that I have, where I talk in a basic way, Hyne's story, but in a slightly more melancholy way haha @@JapaneseGames007
Yes, I’m Japanese. And most of the games featured in the video are I played in their original versions back then (Haha)
I think this explanation removes the need for the Rinoa = Ultimecia theory to explain the story. Rinoa and Squall are only humans, but they are similar to the two halves of Hyne. Just like Hyne needs to fuse with a human, Squall and Rinoa try to live apart, but they're meant to be together. When Rinoa is in a coma, Squall carries her a great distance, basically becoming her legs. When Squall is lost in compressed time, he can't find his way and loses his strength. Then it's Rinoa who has to carry him, using her wings. I always loved this game but much of the story was hard for me to understand, especially as a kid. Thank you so much for this video.
Koichi Sugiyama is the greatest video game composer of all time.
Thanks for the translating! I became enamored with Kouji Aihara's works a while ago and was wondering if there were any translated playthroughs of this game and his next.
Thanks for comment. Many of Aihara's gags that appear in this game are only understandable to Japanese people, so I had a hard time translating them into English (Haha)
Very well done, lots of new things I learned from this video.
Very interesting theory, I never finished or beat FF3, I think the furthest I got was the water crystal in the Nes version, and never played the DS remake, but it surely makes sense and these connections seem a bit more intentional rather than pure coincidence. There are similar connections between FF7 and FF10, so clearly, it is not outside the realm of possibility that every so often, Square tries to connect some of the main games. Maybe there is a hidden pattern. FF3 and FF8, FF7 and FF10, there could be more.
It is true that the relationship between FFVII & FFX has been officially announced. I was planning to make a video soon (Haha)
Nice, go ahead!!@@JapaneseGames007
Absolutely incredible mind blowing research on my favorite Final Fantasy. Loved this so much! Great job!
Thanks!
That's certainly interesting; I haven't played FF3, but I did think it rather odd that Laguna would have any sort of conversation with CoD (aside from needing someone to trigger his funny "leg cramp" bit). I have to wonder if there are also any connections between FF3 and FF5, given the connections between 5 and 8... I also find it funny that the three least-liked entries in the FF franchise (before 13) have connections to each other.
I will edit this when I come back to it. It's hard to say I am the biggest fan of this game ever, but I have spent the majority of mny life steep in this game. I know the insides, outisdes etc. I will edit after watching, as I have seen, heard everything there is, whilst playing it every year since it's release.
FFVIII isn't very popular in Japan, so I'd be happy if people from other countries would say that♪
This is well thought out and the closest I've seen someone go into detail of Hyne. I'm down with believing this theory! But I do have a question; what are your thoughts on Omega Weapon (found in Ultimecia's castle)? It's a reskin of Ultima but without the sword, but it uses strong magic attacks as oppose to physical attacks.
Thanks for comment. I often get questions about Omega Weapon, but there is too little information to determine what Omega Weapon is. The description that appears when you use "Scan" says, "Don't know why this is here," so I think SQUARE introduced Omega Weapon as a "Mysterious life form".
Hey, why don't you use your own voice ?
Sorry, I'm a Japanese who can't speak English, and I'm currently studying English.
cool,but one day are gonna listen to your voice don't we ?@@JapaneseGames007
I'll do my best because I really want to convey the appeal of Japanese games with my own voice.
cool, keep doing those vids your doing fine@@JapaneseGames007
Thank you❤️
Maybe some lesser known games from big series ? (Not only RPG) As an example for the Xeno series, "Xenosaga 1&2" has never been translated, not even a fan made translation. And I've always wondered what differences there was with the PS2 games. Aside from gameplay, obviously.
I see, "Xenosaga 1&2" doesn't have an English translation.
Hello again! My opinion is that you explore the most famous RPG games, however, from time to time, you DO NOT fail to comment on the existence of these RPG games released only in Japan. Many of these games are great and deserve to be commented on. I even intend to do something similar with my audience here in Brazil. Anyway, that's it! Just one detail, I posted the video I told you about yesterday narrating Hyne's tale and the creation of the world of FFVIII. I'm adding subtitles, since the default language is Portuguese. Bye bye!
I love your Dragon Quest videos.
I'd like to see more translations of hidden masterpiece games, I really enjoyed your videos of Misty Blue and Angelus.
Cool vid i like it
Thanks! FF8 is my favorite game, so please check out other FF8 related videos.
@@JapaneseGames007 i Will,i shared your vid on my comunity tab.
This is the first time I learned that such a function exists 😭 I will learn little by little while studying (Haha)
Thanks for translating this game! Really enjoyed it.
Great video. Xenogears is a masterpiece. I am glad you made a parallels with another masterpiece which is 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Thanks for comment. No matter how you look at it, this game is heavily influenced by "2001 A Space Odyssey", but there are many other games and anime that were influenced by this movie (Haha)
YES! Dragon quest lore videos and theories!! thank you!
Hello, how are you? "I think my other comment must have been deleted because I left my email in it." Perfect video! I kept my mouth open and watched everything more than once. This idea about Zebalga's origin was impressive. My favorite game is Final Fantasy VIII, so you can already imagine how happy I was with this video, right? Well, I started this channel that I'm sending you this message at the moment, to create new videos about this JRPG world. My focus will be final fantasy (mainly VI and VIII), Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, the Xeno series (Xenogears, Saga and Blade), as well as Zelda (which is not really a JRPG, but I love it just the same). I'm still learning how to edit, but if I want to exchange ideas, collaborate, or even partner, I would be very happy. I could even edit videos. My friend and I are from Brazil and we love JRPGs. Your channel was a very good find for us. We have a blog on Wordpress, where we talk about all the nuances and details about this Japanese RPG universe in a unique way. I will even post a video talking about the origins of the world of Final Fantasy VIII in a way similar to a movie narration. Ccongratulations! Your Channel is great!
Thanks for comment. I will be subscribing to your channel from there later as I watch the video on another channel for viewing. By the way, my favorite PRG is "Xenogears". Please also check out "Xenogears" if you like. ・Xenogears：Part1 kzread.info/dash/bejne/q3toyLWzpc63pLA.html Thank you.
@@JapaneseGames007 Xenogears is great. I intend to make several videos of this game and also of Xenoblade Chronicles 1. For me, they were the best that Monolith has produced to date, but without detracting from the other titles that are great too! I will watch your videos, as there are several interesting ones.
The world building is weird (not you but FF8). Because initally you have a different concept, perspective and visualisation of Hyne. But as you trailblazed through the newly aquired information, It started to change the aforementioned. In the end I do agree... This Hyne, was the ruler of the Moon. Or atleast fought for the position and won, as it said in the lore (not specifically but generally). I was initially thinking it was GFs besides the monsters on the moon (origins story of that lol?), it was fighting. Before watching this video, l thought the love story element was also with Hyne aka creator of humans. And that being split itself for different reasons and journey's but eventually fated to find each other and reunite (similar to V and Demon Vergil in DMC5), as one or in matrimony. So, I was thinking Rinoa being the upper and Squall being the lower and eventually coming together as one, due to their Love. This would kinda reflect with Ultimacia (Rinoa/upper) junctioning (attaching) to Griever (Squall/lower) and why they were fated is because of them being hijacked by hyne. But then I watched your video and Hyne wasn't so benevolent but quite malevolent lol. I wonder whats beyond the Moon as it seems the place for where there was no time etc? Is those Island in FF8; Hell on Earth is it called? Any connections to this whole theory as an adjunct of the Tears of the Moon? Thanks for the excellent video. As a kid, none of this was really apparent lol.
As a side note, boss characters reminiscent of "Hyne" appear in the games "Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2" and "PERSONA3". If you are interested, please take a look (Haha).
@@JapaneseGames007 The one from Bloodstained is uncanny... Sariel, right? There has to be something to these designs with real life lore, myths, and legends of the ancient past. And Persona is the Magnus enemies or Phantom Master? I'm not to sure lol. In PSO2 Sodam (last boss) also has resemblances.
@@JapaneseGames007that’s funny you mention Persona 3. I felt there are a lot similarities with Persona 3 and FFVIII but couldn’t really explain it.
It may be difficult to concisely summarize and clearly discuss the similarities between Persona 3 and FFVIII.
I tend to revise on KZread any new FF8 lore; especially this theory from time to time... And damn, you've smashed the ball out of the park with this one. Interesting and unique analysis. I never seen or thought about before. Added a lot to comtemplate. Are you native JP/Eng or other btw? You know the creators of FF8 may have intentionally made it this way or not is always up to debate. But there's a phenomenon in reality called: "synchromysticism". While it has many definitions and perspectives; I believe it is the underlining WILL of the Universe; "Truth" playing a role (as it is inherent in all things), to awaken our Consciousness (observers/participators = us), through various mediums especially artistic. And is the Truer message of what THAT Art form may have meant from the Artist. Its there to show us that we need to do, remember who we are, decode falsehoods, awaken and re-align our understanding to the underlying principles, the Laws of the Universe and our intimate conversation between us and the Creator. I think this theory and more just enhances the entire FF8 experience. Its basically saying: "Love Transcends All" or as a fellow researcher says: "Infinite Love is the Only Truth. Everything Else is Illusion"... Earnt a Sub! Will check your other stuff out. Thanks!
Thanks for comment. Kitase, who was the director of FFVIII, initially denied this theory. But, he later recanted his denial, and screenwriter Nojima commented, "It's amazing how the fans' thoughts end up creating something more interesting than the story I wrote". In the subsequent SQUARE (SQUARE ENIX), you can't miss the fact that "FFDC" includes a story inspired by fan theories. Based on what SQUARE ENIX has done, I think FFVIII is the right choice no matter how you enjoy it.
I love your Dragon Quest videos. I hope you make more videos about Dragon Quest. Have you played all the games?
Thanks for comment. I played many, but not all, DQ titles. I would like to increase the number of DQ-related videos, but I would like to create FF-related videos and hidden masterpieces (Especially translated videos of games that are only sold in Japan), so the work is difficult... (Haha) I hope you can look forward to it in the future!
This is top shelf lore exploration! Mind blown multiple times.
Thanks❤️
Do the buildings of the sky continent have similar architecture to what we see on the ocean floor zones of the Deep Sea Research Centre?
Even if it were the site of FF3's "Floatland", the building itself would have been built much later.
Hyne isn't specified as a female in the game.
Well, I don't think there is a concept of gender.
I love your attention to detail here. You made me a believer of the R=U theory. I definitely think it enhances the story. I love the mysteries and imagery that this game has.
Thanks for your comment. I think FFVIII's difficult story follows the flow of "FFVII & Xenogears," but unfortunately it was not well-received in Japan because of its difficult story (Haha). Therefore, we returned to a simple story in "FFIX & FFX".
Thank you for sharing!!! This is amazing!! 🥰🥰🤩🤩
Thanks for comment❤️
You should do FFXIV! There FFIII and FFVIII connect. You are so close yet missing a link
You mean "Eden's Promise". Thanks for your appropriate comments.
'Follow the yellow flowers' leading to Zack?
Yes! That may also be related.
Nice vid. I'm along for the ride in Rebirth no matrer what.
Nice vid.
Great video. Thank you.
