They got the karma now. They once did betrayed Sony now they got betrayed by square-enix. Serve them right!!!
The Legend of Dragoon was my favorite from the PS1 era.
N64 is laughable in the RPG department lol
Banjo kazooie and banjo tooie are great rpgs.
Quest 64. "What is this?" - Teenage me 😂
Suikoden1 and 2 are my all time favorite RPG
Switch 2 only got ff7 remake and older games that people have already played and platinumed. So far, I am seeing no reason to get a switch 2.
Well, that's for the Nintendo gamers. Unfortunately, there are many gamers that are exclusively Nintendo gamers; the 150+ million install-base proves that. That means that there are many players that have not experienced those games yet.
Here's a thought: maybe it's not for you?
@noneofyourbusiness1998 here's a thought, no one is going to buy it and Nintendo will go bankrupt.
@noneofyourbusiness1998 that sort of thinking is how companies go out of business. It's not for anyone.
@kevinburke1325 , you really think no one will buy the Nintendo Switch 2?
Waah! Ill give a shout out to BoF series since it was not mentioned. But its a good playstation memory lane. 👌
I hope Playstation and Square Enix can learn something new by looking back on what made them successful. Cheers!
indeed😂 thats one of my fave Breath of Fire series, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Eternia & Suikoden series, lastly FF7.
Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed all the top RPGs but my favorite is Parasite Eve on PS1
Oh sure there was more on ps1 than just rpgs (persona had 3 games). Musashi was cool too. Tenchu as well
nintendo is very greed...
Yeah CD and DvD vs Cardridges 🤔 but tbh the early ps consoles had their issues too...
PC is the King of rpg everything else PlayStation ruined the Rog games like final fantasy 7 couldn’t stand playing it on PS1 until it got a remake
Nintendo made inferior hardware and lost Square. Nintendo betrayed Square by making mediocre consoles.
Final fantasy 7 was released January 31, 1997.
You're just shy of 30 years late with this.
Nintendo made a deal with square so they could publish ff7 on playstation mostly because of the size of the game and the amount of fmv’s it was a 3 disc game on ps but it wouldve been like a 16 cartridge game on n64
Pokemon after all these years. Still don't have voice acting. 😂😂😂😂😂
FF 7 8 9 tactics LOtD, Xenogears, Legend of Legaia, Legend of Mana and Breath of Fire 4.
What ffvii console does the first clip runs from? 😮 its like ffvii classic but improved graphics
Some games are running on emulators, but FFVII, for example, is actually the PC version with mods.
Nintendo switch 2 is going to be a great system can't wait to get mine.
No its not
Mine is Legend of Legaia, FF7 and FF8 and Metal Gear Solid and Resident evil
Nothing but love more square equix games and working design games.... ff8 ff7 lunar star story complete
Supposedly Nintendo was teasing Square about optical media for more space for their games.
It's like Nintendo didn't know what the F#@$ they wanted to do when it came to the generation after Sfam/Snes 😆
Would love to hear what Nintendo hoped/envisioned for things to go with Philips over Sony.
If they had at least gone with Philips, but then incorporated it into the N64, who knows what world we'd be in right now.
The transition to the 3D era with Nintendo as a company was as awkward as the individual development studios trying to master 3D gameplay.
Nintendo gets karma.
I love game essays and documentaries/retrospectives.
One thing, at the beginning Sony wasn't in the game, but they did use to make games, or at least work on them. Sony Imagesoft belonged to Sony (CBS/Sony Group)
Also, what do you think about the talks that FF7 was halfway programmed for 64 before Square dipped?
Already made a video about that 🤣🤣🤣

@SageRPGs nice!
💗
Chrono Trigger. Good lord! ❤
SNES was the king of RPGs, not PlayStation.
Bruh you tripping. Don't get me wrong, they do got some good rpg games on there. Compare to PlayStation they demolished the snes era.
I would say YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
Thankfully it has happened. Otherwise you will never ever play final fantasy or dragon quest on pc
hey New Sub here, I love this video, more of this please. My fave RPG from the PS1 era? That honor would go to those Humans who gain control of the Dragons, "The Legend of Dragoon".
Thanks for subscribing! I'm trying to drop a retrospective review every 5 days or so, and there are two playlists on the channel you’ll probably enjoy, My Humble Opinion and Retrospective Reviews.
Ff9, chrono cross, chrono trigger
Tales of Eternia, Rhapsody: A musical adventure
FF7, FF8, FF9, LOD, all of them😂😂
I got an email off playstation the other day asking if im buying the nintendo switch 2 i said no i dont like nintendo and its literally because of what kinda people they are they tried to screw sony and square enix my favourite console by far is playstation and my favourite games are final fantasy kingdom hearts and dragon quest id never buy another nintendo product even if square has forgiven them
Try putting yourself in the shoes of Nintendo execs back in 1995... They had to make decisions based on profit. Even if it's a passion for us, for many of them it was just business, it was their job. So they made the calls they thought were best. Were they the wrong calls in my opinion? Yeah! But honestly, I don’t know how differently I would’ve acted 30 years ago.
Here’s another example of a bad decision... Kodak stuck with film cameras while digital was taking over… Terrible move, but stepping out of your comfort zone is tough for anyone.
Hope you enjoyed that little philosophical moment 🤣🤣🤣
@SageRPGs they had a buisness agreement with sony and they literally screw them there is no defending nintendo that's like saying who they betrayed sony for Panasonic who as far as I know only make batteries and other stuff nobody really buys was a good choice over sony
I’m not trying to defend Nintendo… but I also don’t wanna act all high and mighty like I follow some purist code I don’t actually live by. Put yourself in the shoes of the guy making decisions at Nintendo, if you realize the console you're building won’t turn a profit and might even cannibalize your other system, would you keep going? And it’s not like Nintendo just called up Sony and said, “Thanks for everything, but we’re out.” There were definitely penalties involved. There are no heroes and villains in this market, just companies looking out for their own interests.
nintendo was a gate keep hmmm interesting...
Xenogears!
Nintendo betrayed themselves when they made that pathetic system, I loved the 64 but it had no support could've been so much more if it had a standard cd drive then the GameCube made the same foolish mistakes
Pathetic? 64 literally pioneered free camera game and THE WHOLE GAMING INDUSTRY EVEN SONY COPIED NINTENDO INNOVATION 🌟
The Golden era to me was the SNES era of RPG’s. PS1 was good because that’s all we had. N64 had some RPG’s that were good. Sony made a smart move which put them at the top for awhile.
Well we know the story. Thanks to abandonment of the Japanese devs and moving over to the west and making hard left political type of games that no one wants to play for millions of dollars losing our so bad Jim Ryan had to resign and now Sony is slowly coming back but Nintendo is the hero of all games right now.
Steam is doing pretty good too. XB ain’t doing 💩.they have a few things in the oven but they are taking forever to come out.
The future of games systems for me will be Switch 2 and a gaming laptop. But that’s me. Games are amazing and I’m so thankful they are made!
A cool video but Sony is a shell of what it used to be in my humble opinion. Nintendo is leading consoles to victory and Steam is where it’s at on PC.
As for my favorite RPG in the PS1 era… it’d have to be FF7. I made sure to buy a PS1 for that game before all others. I think it’s a historical thing that after so many years FF7 Remake is coming back to Nintendo on S2.
Yes Snes had fantastic games. FF6 will forever be my RPG favourite.
Sony is the 🤴 of gaming. The Switch had to make multiple versions just to beat PlayStation 2.
@youngrydah4374 I wouldn’t say that. Nintendo just finally mastered their own formula with the Switch so they didn’t have to have a handheld system like the 3DSXL anymore when their main system was already a handheld. Tablets and iPhones are the future so Nintendo was smart enough to tap into it.
Sony was into the handheld market with their own handheld, but Nintendo made them exit the market in Japan. Sony couldn’t beat them with the PSP and PS Vita, and instead of staying in the market for their fans at least they just got out. Nintendo came out with Smash Bros which was a success. Sony tried to copy that and failed miserably with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Sony has a history of being sore losers so that’s why they abandoned Japan and moved over to the western side of things. Then they started to get political and lean way heavy over to the left with titles like Last of us 1 and 2. They are coming out with all the remakes and remasters of that game that no one wants and I’ve heard Sony fans say they should demand more than just take that crap.
Other titles that were heavy left was Concord, Avaowed, Valeguard, and even past Square Enix titles that did terrible like Babylons Fall, Marvels Avengers, and some others I can’t remember the names of. Sony focuses on very realistic games but they are too expensive to make and take forever in the oven. What’s happened is they spend too much on one game and never make any of that money back that they spent.
So the question then becomes is it worth it? Not Sony is reconsidering their whole gaming structure after the Switch 2 is announced and show. Instead of making a huge and heavy heater that is PS5 and PS5 pro they are trying to do something different again following Nintendo.
Heck just recently they want to increase their system price again in countries outside the U.S. like Europe and elsewhere just because Nintendo is doing it and their prices are already ridiculous. I say all this not to crap on Sony but when I see that they are the King of gaming as you put it, I have to strongly disagree.
I’d didn’t even mention lyin’ cryin’ and dyin’ Jim Ryan who had to resign because of his many failed promises to Sony fans and his terrible leadership at Sony. They may have had their good years with PS2 but it was only because all the RPG’s and fighting games were on it. They started to come back to Nintendo when Nintendo went to CD’s instead of cartridges but now here we are at cartridges again with the Switch 2.
Street Fighter 6 looks better on S2, I don’t know if you’ve seen the picture and footage. Sony hasn’t been doing anywhere near as good as they did in the PS2 era. They have a few good games but alot of those eventually come to PC and don’t stay exclusive to the Sony system.
As someone who plays everything and pays attention to it and isn’t a Sony fanboy I can honestly say they better consider their strategy because Nintendo is coming back in a big way with Switch and Switch 2. I prefer Nintendo but I own them all, so trust me when I say Sony isn’t the King of gaming. Whatever they had it all started on Nintendo. Never forget my friend. Okay… I’ve written a lot! 😂 Anyway enjoy whatever you like just know the real history. We like what we like but let’s be fair and not be so biased. Peace man. 👍🏽
@JMrealgamer you didn't answer what l said. Nintendo had to make different version of the switch to beat the 🤴 of gamingl
@youngrudah4374 I don’t think it had to do with Sony honestly. Nintendo already has their own records they try to beat not another’s. Nintendo is pretty good at staying in its own lane while other companies look and see what they will do so they can compete.
Nintendo made different versions of the Switch as an answer to fans and casual gamers who only wanted handheld (Switch lite) and those that wanted a more definitive Switch experience (OLED Model).
All that was is Nintendo answering the fans making a more cheaper and then a bit more expensive version of the Switch. It appealed to many different people’s taste and preferences so of course it’s gonna sell greatly.
Not only that but it’s so easy to travel with. If you travel often it’s a must have if you like to game too. Other systems can’t do this. Steam Deck can but its battery life still isn’t good and it’s not as slim and trim as the Switch. Your power goes out, you can still play the Switch.
On the go? You can play it. On the toilet? You can play it. On a plane or in a car or bus… it can be played. By kids, or adults. Everyone. So it’s no reason it beat whatever Sony records you speak of.
All that was is a byproduct of good decision making at Nintendo. They are a great company to their consumers and have been one of the highest rated in Japan. Does that answer your question?
Nintendo is a ripped off why buy switch 2 a handheld console when ps5 almost same price and have cheaper games lol
lolno😊
Pertmalu, it is because the quality of Nintendo games are unmatched, and above tiers of any other gaming developer and/or publisher.
@@stripedrajang3571 if they can run gow ragnarok, last of. Us II and ff7 rebirth without degrading the texture of the game. Its still too expensive compared to console but hey i respect ur view.
@@Pertmalu, I understand. But, we have to remember, gameplay and fun is king. Visual fidelity and high performance should be a distant second place.
Playstation portal rules 😂😂😂
But playstation will be obsolete once xbox launches a console with steam. Its already been announced. Good bye exclusives.
What are you on about?
If your fever dream, and the rumors you're alluding to, comes true, it would be pretty interesting.
I hope it's as open as their DevMode is on the Xbone/XSS|X.
What emulator are you using? Those graphics looked crisp!! 😍😍😍
Can you tell me which game? Each one runs better on a different emulator.
uhmm I guess the FF7 one? I haven't played that mod yet
This is the PC version with mods!
nintendo betrayed sony for monopoly, sony stands up for itself and made stronger console hardware for game developers, square then left nintendo because they had inferior hardware compared to sony.
Nope, Sony wanted to take Nintendo console as Their own. If Nintendo doesn't end their deal, there will be no Nintendo and Mario is owned by Sony.
Nintendo is just smart.
Playstation portal rules, Nintendo switch 2 will be underpowered 😂😂😂
@@EnaTenkiyoGamer ever gotten laid before? Cuz it seriously sounds like you haven't
Where is that background music from?
Can you tell me the timestamp? There are several!
