Once upon the time, there was a gaming console called the Nintendo 64. The N64 was a very sad system, for it didn't have a good RPG. Oh sure, it had Quest 64 and Hybrid Heaven, but they were "meh" at best. Meanwhile, the sequel to Super Mario RPG was still far off from its release. What was a Nintendo-RPG fan to do?
Then came along Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage. The spiritual successor to Quest 64, this game was hyped for its improved battle system and much more epic quest.
I, myself was rather excited about it. I liked Quest 64, enough to get most of the way through in a single rental period. So this game had to be much better. I even posted a question on the game's Q&A page: "Will this game have elemental fiends?" 'Cause I liked how certain battles such as elemental fiends were more important, and got their own battle theme. And the question got posted! Yay! (I don't think they understood what I was asking, though...)
Unfortunately for me, it would be years before I could get the game, myself. All I could do was look at the reviews, which were very mixed, and check out the almost non-existant collection of videos of the game. Finally, years after its release, I found the game at a place that sold games from all generations, and I immediately snatched it up. I knew I wasn't about to play a fantastic game, but if it's anything like Quest 64, I should find it somewhat enjoyable. So I took it home, plugged in my ol' N64, turned it on, and..... What's this crap?
Note: Due to an editing error that I only noticed after the fact, I wound up editing the video in 16:9 mode and uploading in 4:3 mode, so the video might appear a bit small.
For easy access to other episodes, here's a full list of them. And let me tell you, this list will be getting LONG.
