The irony is, if she HAD been trying to drive into them, she'd probably be alive right now.

Octopath Traveler 0 is here, and it brings the biggest changes to the Octopath series yet! Let's talk about those changes, and whether or not this is worthy of the name! Thanks @SquareEnix for providing the code (and for making the game). Link below, RTs greatly appreciated!

New video! Time to gush about the COOLEST Trails merch I've ever seen! Come hang out 😊

If you haven't checked out Party Chat yet, do it. It's one of my favorite podcasts, and if you're a JRPG fan it needs to be in your rotation.

A little late-night bump for this one, wherein I proclaim your favorite game aged like milk... sorry in advance. Link below, RTs appreciated!

New video! Let's talk about how we can advocate for Trails (or any game or series we want to get more exposure for)!

I love getting spooky game recommendations from people, so I thought, why don't I make some of my own? These are all games I've played recently, and they're all absolutely worth your time. (Okay, one of them is a demo, but STILL, you need to play it.) 🔗👇, ♻️appreciated!

Join me and @dallahgames.bsky.social tonight at 7pm CT as we stream #LittleNightmares3! It will be spooky! And hey, thanks to @bandainamcousa.bsky.social for providing the code. Look forward to some more LN3 content from me later in the month, too!

Going LIVE tonight with Little Nightmares III 👻 I’ll be joined by @justthegems.net as we dive into this creepy co-op adventure for the first time! 📅 7PM CST/5PM PT/8PM ET YouTube youtube.com/live/ojBpJiI... Twitch twitch.tv/dallahgames Thanks @bandainamcousa.bsky.social for the game code!

Harvestella is one of the best under-the-radar titles from @square-enix-games.com that you've never heard of. Unless you've been following me, in which case you've DEFINITELY heard of it. Here's why you might have missed it, and why you shouldn't! RTs appreciated! youtu.be/7C5JD1wd0so

Going through my comments the last several weeks, it seems like some people really don't like my music in my videos. I'm thinking about trying something different, maybe mostly no music with pieces of tracks to highlight certain things or something.

This is not a drill! Harvestella is on sale for $23.99 on Steam until October 6. This is possibly my favorite @square-enix-games.com game, and it got slept on because people thought it was a farming sim. It's not. I have a video coming out about it next week, get this game! bit.ly/4gSWSlr

To any trolls out there, if you really want to get to me in a comment, you won't do it by calling me woke or whatever. This is the way. 🥲😭😅

New video! I was hyped for these JRPGs -- some of them I even started out enjoying! But then... things took a turn. Likes and RTs appreciated, let me know what you think in the video comments! youtu.be/Xbn6rnf0Zbg

I posted recently about our annual Walk to End Alzheimer's, in honor of my father-in-law Martin who we lost to Alzheimer's disease. We're just $95 away from meeting our goal! If you're able to give, I would appreciate it so much! Thank you!! act.alz.org/goto/JustThe...

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is coming this week, and thanks to @square-enix-games.com, I was able to play it early to make this video. I wanted to focus on the new element that really makes this THE definitive version of the game to me -- the voicework. youtu.be/aRC05k7VxjE

My first of at least three (3) physical copies of this game I bought has arrived! 😅 Maybe you can't tell but I'm very excited for this game. Are you getting it? For what platform?? @gungho-america.bsky.social #trailsinthesky1stchapter

My Trails in the Sky review is going to take a little longer, but I wanted to drop in with some hype and tell you all WHY this is such an important game, and why Trails as a series really matters. (Thanks to @gungho-america.bsky.social for the code) RTs appreciated! youtu.be/g_HZFuayxIM

Some of you may know we lost my father-in-law to Alzheimer's a few years back. Every year we participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer's, and if you would consider donating to help us meet our goals, it would mean so much to me and Jenn! Thank you!! act.alz.org/goto/JustThe...

There's been a lot of discourse around the "proper" order to play the Trails series. So I want to talk about the problems with playing out of order... AND the benefits! Let me know your thoughts in the comments! youtu.be/OBQ1ZwCj5tg

Thanks so much to @bandainamcousa.bsky.social for having me to take a look at Digimon Story: Time Stranger! I'm so into the more dark and serious appeal of a series that has grown with me into adulthood, and it's going to be a must-play in October. Check out my thoughts here! youtu.be/OMY010JO-5o

My final @square-enix-games.com demo at PAX West this year was Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and let me tell you... You're not ready for how good this is gonna be. Let's talk about it. Dragon Quest I & II Impressions | Rebirth of Giants youtu.be/mw1YG1cVdD4

Thanks to @square-enix-games.com, I got the chance to take Octopath Traveler 0 for a spin at PAX West. How does it play? Let's talk about it! Does the New (Old) Octopath Move the Series Forward? Octopath Traveler 0 PAX West Impressions youtu.be/zLVc1jPaS_k

How does Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles enhance the original PS1 strategy RPG? Check out my hands-on impressions from this year's PAX West! Thanks to @square-enix-games.com for inviting me out to give this a try! youtu.be/9lpGsqjVO5g

Quartet manages to feel both nostalgic and new. Its story is moving and complex. In short, it's a new indie JRPG masterpiece. Check out my full, spoiler-free review! This Indie JRPG Does Almost EVERYTHING Right | Quartet Review youtu.be/fST0DeavqME

It's making me so happy to see everyone excited and playing the #TrailsintheSky1stChapter demo! If you want to know my thoughts after having completed it, I just posted a video - let me know how much you're enjoying the game! Demo Impressions! Trails in the Sky Remake Is 🔥 youtu.be/WGTlNoLP0Cw

Star Trek more like Har Har Trek

Trails is full of strong characters. But which one is the STRONGEST? Let's look at all the main characters (minus Nayuta, he's just a lil boy) and figure out which one can kick all the others' butts! Reposts appreciated! youtu.be/wJ-01R11vVo

It's that time again: Time for me to recommend a bunch of underrated JRPGs that do NOT get the credit they deserve! Take a look and let me know what you think - RTs greatly appreciated! youtu.be/39y7tYhhxQE

Anime is hugely influential on JRPGs. And no game is more anime-inspired than the Trails series. That's why I think we need a new anime adaptation of the Trails story. But we need to look at where the two previous Trails anime went wrong. youtu.be/AmGCI4XtwZ0

Trails is my favorite series. But that doesn't mean it can't be improved! Here are the ways I think the Trails remakes can fix the series's biggest problems. Here's How the Remakes Can FIX Trails youtu.be/yiwTanIs4i0

anybody seen this new darnky kong banana game for switchc2? you get to play as dranky king

Got home from Japan (can you tell how tired I am?😅) to find this in my mailbox. Thanks @[email protected], so happy to have this - Team Asano is incredible! ♥️

There have been a lot of JRPG remasters lately, but what some games really need is a full-on remake. I break down the ten I think are most deserving here. Let me know what you think! And also, would you consider subscribing? Almost at a new milestone... youtu.be/t1Rd3YK_cig

🚨 @bandainamcousa.bsky.social is dropping a new #Digimon Story game! But Cyber Sleuth and Hacker’s Memory laid the groundwork for everything Time Stranger is about to become. 🎥 I break it all down in my latest video! Reposts, Likes, and Subscribes are appreciated! Link 👇

I wanted to make YT post about this, but I'm in Japan and it doesn't let me share videos on mobile (so dumb). But this video is fantastic. It lays out the reasoning that many of us have for choosing what some consider the "bad" ending of Expedition 33. youtu.be/eAXFndOhaio?...

Happy #DragonQuestDay! For me, it started when this NES cart showed up at my house. And my love has grown a lot since then! DQ will always have a special place in my heart for getting me into this genre. What was your first Dragon Quest, and is it your favorite?? @square-enix-games.com‬

Just hit 1 million views on YouTube today. As a small channel in a small niche, that honestly feels really nice. Would not have thought it possible even a year ago. Thanks to everyone who's ever clicked on one of my goofy thumbnails, it means so much. ♥️ www.youtube.com/@justthegems

Today's the 10th anniversary of the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt! I have COMPLETELY slept on this game, but here it sits in my library... Should I finally give it a shot? As a primarily JRPG guy, do you think I'll connect with it? What do you like most about it?

Hoo boy, I'm losing subs over this one! Spicy Branden is here with the hottest of takes on the new Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter localization. Check it out on YouTube and let me know your thoughts! (And if you're so mad you need to unsubscribe, I understand😅)

I've always been interested in the fundamental differences between how Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are designed. So I wanted to talk about it. Check it out on YouTube and let me know where you fall on the DQ vs. FF debate!
