It’s the same battle theme, just rearranged in different styles, like Origami King.

​@@PianistTanooki and those different styles are often so different that it's just a different theme

The og battle theme is still a banger 🔥🪩🕺

​@@Oscar-Guzman It's a banger but I always get sick of it by the end of a playthrough

I just recently replayed it and gotta say I think I prefer the old one. But art style change is just.... different. I don't hate it.

The sound is from a frog that's native to Japan but unheard of in the US- so they changed it to a "cricket".... which I guess does sound a bit similar.

@@cloudymccloudyeah, people in the US are more used to the Pacific Tree Frog sound.

Didn’t sound like a cricket either. I remember being stuck in Hooktail’s castle for so long because I had no idea I was supposed to equip that sound badge

@Doublee73 Call it forced but it sounded atleast like it was saying "cricket" to me. But that is with the game telling me.

@@Doublee73when I was like 8 I found the badge and was like “well this must be important” and put it on immediately. Didn’t understand why the boss was easy.

I love it when it's a thing you can unlock and not a bloody pre-order bonus or anything.

@@BlaizeTheDragon agreed!

For a game as special as this is a really big deal. It’s going to inspire so many artists who are Mario fans. The art of this game is embracing the process too! It’s amazing.

people shit on Origami King but the music and art direction was PEAK.

Am I the only one who actually likes the backtracking? It's nothing compared to, say, Metroid...

@@dylancrampton5620 backtracking is fine if it’s not tedious. In TTYD it can be tedious and time consuming By the time you’re back tracking in Metroid games for example, you’ve also already acquired multiple power ups that not only speed up the process, but allow you access to secrets and items along the way that you couldn’t access before - this is backtracking done right

​​@@dylancrampton5620Backtracking is part of an design that Metroid or the genre in general is known for. There are gonna be some backtracking moments. And besides, Backtracking isn't always an bad idea if it's done decently and not tedious. And while I do think TTYD does have some amount of backtracking that can get annoying and may slow the pacing down, it's not an huge deal breaker since the writing makes up for it and the gameplay gets better later on. Couldn't they tooken some parts out or made some sort of fast travel? Yeah. But it's not as bad as people think. Still would be nice to have some sort of fast travel though.

Spin move was GOATed

Who says they haven't added a badge?

Explain

​@@glungusgongusYou know how in the Super Mario RPG remake they had a toggle for the new or old OST? This is their way to incorporate it into the TTYD remake.

A badge that changes certain sounds in the game...

@@blissfulzane7154I think he meant the GameCube badge on Twitter. I don’t use Twitter and I mean Twitter doesn’t exist anymore but unless they mean the blue check mark on *X* I don’t understand

I hope it's not like heartgold/soul silver. Had to beat the ENTIRE game to be able to hear the original music... Kinda defeats the point of even using it :/

Would

*bonk*

Headbonk

That's actually a really good expression lol

I feel like it looks kinda weird but I think I’ll get used to it

Also adding to that, in the initial trailer we can see that TEC has his original red color, unlike the blue that it was changed to for the US version.

@@SailorChiMoon Tbh, it makes sense. This is most likely going to be a global release, same version for everyone. Changing stuff like visuals depending on the language select is very rare, and that is why a lot of newer releases tend to either favor one version or the other for details, with the other version getting erased on the way.

Just so we're clear. We're all talking about vivian being gender ambiguous right?

@@nomickok2 Whom else? Is there even any other character we could be talking about that has a remotely interesting change between versions? I could even see new language differences being made, every Punie spying on Petunia might be funny in Japan but I don't think it will make it to the US a 2nd time. Still, nobody cares about that. The only language difference anyone cares about how it's going to be localized is Vivian, I don't think that was ever unclear.

​@@TudsamfaVivian was originally supposed to be trans

Same fundamental game, therefore remaster. FF7 becoming an action rpg makes that a remake

@@GhibliNovaf**k no especially if they fixed the backtracking definitely a remake.

@@JIreland1992apparently the vivian situation is a lot more complex than i first thought, like it’s not just “vivian is trans” or something so simple, but still yeah i hope they translate it properly too. anything would be an improvement.

And the mistranslation of Koopa Koot’s name in the Thwomp quiz as well as the Crystal Palace in the hide-and-seek Koopa’s email

Id say just translate from the original english localization...or retranslate the japanese to mean what it meant. If that happens to be a crossdresser or trans character, why care? I get the over wokeness of a lot of things these days...it doesnt mean we should outright reject anything thats unusual. Its just a game..​@@arzfan29

Right? I said the same thing.

@@DoJayMi Pretty sure they were talking about the large guy standing by the gallows who sells a rotating set of badges, including W Emblem and Jumpman, not the clerk in the shop.

I really liked TOK soundtrack and also the design language of the paper / origami

It would quick pull up the partner menu if you did that. So technically yes, but this new way is much faster/optimized.

@@apronormie5986 don't get me wrong. It's definitely cool. But "much faster" might be overselling it.

@@jv2276 fair point; I just booted up an emu (don't tell Nintendo) and checked the speed. It's still faster in the remake, but yeah probably not very much so. Definitely more optimized.

Shame this isn’t running at 60fps. The original ran at that so this should easily do that too.

@@robertkellett2148 you will not notice the difference , calm down

@@robertkellett2148I actually happened to boot up my GameCube this past weekend to start a new save and after seeing the footage presented, I genuinely have no issues with it. I’m the kind of player who will set games to 60 at virtually any expense to graphics, and so I’m honestly shocked about it myself given TTYD was my single most played and replayed game from my childhood. So long as it can maintain a steady 30 fps, with super infrequent dips during genuinely intense graphical moments like the GameCube version dipped, I’m just looking forward to the reimagined lighting, other visuals, and portable experience.

​@@robertkellett2148Not even joking, I have no reason to play this remaster over the GameCube original because of this.

Very pathetic these guys failed to mention this.

Yep, great work not mentioning the FPS downgrade from the original!

​@@FreeTheTaintwho cares bro

@@FreeTheTaintstop crying it looks better

Isn't the game hard enough as it is?

@@stripedrajang3571 Not if you superguard eeverything

Sure, but a real controller doesn't even do that.

@@ChaosLightspeed True but it gave good feedback.

Hey, I was just wondering: in the hooktail fight (7:22), I feel like we see Mario and Koops guard her firebreath and it looks like they are blocking way too early and it still works. Do you think they actually made guards easier too? Or maybe it's an option to make them easier or they got 20 simplifiers equipped... What luck I have to still own the original in case they did... Or do you think it's just displayed differently somehow? I just can't get the question out of my mind.

@@memekyu_memes BLUF: the guard timing window seems *at least* 25% to 50% larger than in the original, at least based on my frame-by-frame analysis of this video. ----- There is a difference in visual feedback to the player. Ever since Sticker Star, Mario's pose would change as soon as you hit the A button, then would change again a few frames later to show that the successful guard timing window had ended. It seems like that's the case in this game, too. So, we can check exactly how early they pressed the button! Running the video frame-by-frame (can do it on a PC keyboard with the . and , keys), it looks like there are 5 frames where Mario and Koops are in their guarding pose before the frame on which they're hit, implying that the guard lasts for at least 6 frames total. The original game apparently gave 8 frames, but also had double the frame rate (except in the PAL release, I think), so the 30 FPS would be 4 frames. So yes, the guard timing in this video does seem at least 25% to 50% more lenient. It could be more. ...I wish I knew where to find the Simplifier guard frame data*, because now I'm kinda curious about how lenient it could possibly get in the original. *EDIT: Two Simplifiers will increase both guard timing windows by one frame, according to jdaster9's blog "The Super Mario Files". Three Simplifiers increase it by two frames, but it's not possible to get three legitimately in the original game.

Same thing with the badge for supercharging, it would have to be twice as effective in this game. So if they made super guarding a 2 frame move in this game, with the badge it would be 3 frames with just one badge. Thats the equivalent of 6 frames at 60fps in the original which is almost as easy as the regular guard, and with two of those badges it would be the exact same timing as the regular guard. If that’s the case then the new game is going to be VERY easy.

@@115zombies935 ​ Supercharging? Do you mean Simplifier? According to jdaster's blog (The Super Mario Files), in the original game, you need two Simplifiers in order to add one frame to the Superguard (and Guard) window, and the second one is only available after chapter 6. Of course, we don't know how exactly Simplifiers will work in *this* game 'til it comes out.

​@@115zombies935 Well, in the original, a simplifier did just increase to timing window for guards/superguards by 0.5 frames, so basically doing nothing unless you got two equipped. So it might be similar to that. (at least according to mario wiki)

I believe it's been reported that timing is not tied to frames. All inputs are calculated based on an internal timer that operates outside the frame rate of the games visuals, so inputs may still be bound to a 60fps timer that essentially counts two input frames for every one visual frame.

It would only bring up the partners’ menu, it wasn’t really a quick select.

No there wasn't. There was a hotkey to open the menu, but nothing for quick selection

@@enny7377true true

Ngl, and I know people will disagree just because the original isn't in HD, but the the GameCube versions graphics were so much more coherent and it's way more crisp and smooth at 60 FPS 480i on CRT than the remake could possibly be at 30 FPS HD. I'm glad people are getting a new way to play the game but that's kinda killed my excitement considering I have a perfect setup to play the original. When an evitable 60 fps mod for emulation comes out, I'll give it a chance.

@@uponeric36gamecube could get 480p. 480i is anything but crisp

That doesn't really make sense though given that the game takes place after the first one. There are many direct references confirming that, such as old partners making cameos later in TTYD.

Yea but it'd be awesome and cool tho

Ttyds backtracking is not that bad. There is a room under rogueport that takes you to every major location, and visiting rogueport throughout the game always gives you something new to see/do. I genuinely don't understand why people complain so much about this

Whats wrong with leaving stuff to surprise? I get that nintendo deserves to eat bricks nowadays due to alot of shitty decisions but even so there's nothing wrong with surprising people/letting them discover the new things on their own

Original TTYD makes you pay 30 coins to cancel a trouble. Knowing this I doubt the new version will let you take on multiple troubles at once.

It's a hub with multiple pipes leading to each town that you don't need to go to the Sewers for and also unlocks earlier than in the original. It's in NintendoLife's preview.

Downgrade to 30fps ruins it for me personally

@@FreeTheTaint If it is stable, there is absolutely no problem. There are many things in this remake that justify the purchase.

@@Rajada64exactly, like the chance of the remake doing well enough that the next game is a return to form (also they’ve been saying how the remake is 30 fps on a lot of comments lol)

The original ran at 60. 30 is inexcusable.

There's a new badge in the shop that switches to the GameCube music when equipped

@@Molten2004That’s pretty awesome.

Give me a post-game superboss fight against Prince Mush. That’s just as important IMO.

I guarantee Nintendo isn't going to add substantial content. But look up the marvelous compass it's a fan made version of Luigi's story from TTYD.

That's what I think would justify this remaster too. I know it's technically a remake, but the main "ground-up" thing they did is the textures and assets, which still boils down to only a graphical update in my book, despite the fact that it takes more work to do. Regardless, I hope lots of players who've never played it enjoy the heck out of it. It's an awesome game.

I'd love for Luigi to be a secret party member.

Nope. The comedy is how obviously he’s embellished his exploits, and his offsider tells the truth. Not playing the story.

Check out the marvelous compass. It's a fan made game focusing on Luigi's adventure in TTYD

TTYD even already has a way to cutdown on backtracking, the pipes in rogueport sewers.

Agreed that backtracking is fine in games when it's done well. The problem with TTYD is that it does not do it well.

@@LimedGreen That doesn't help with the insane backtracking in chapters 4 and 5.

@@PC2000 Counter point to your Chapter 4 argument. In that chapter the backtracking is a narrative tool. The first time you return to the Twilight Forest you are depowered and weak. Then when you get a party member, (trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible haha) the enemies became bearable. Finally, when you reveal the secret, it becomes a triumphant parade to the steeple.

Yes, but that just brought up the menu, and was still slower than this quick select.

There's a lot of reasons why they probably didn't mention it including they simply just forgot, didn't notice, didn't remember the original being 60, the game actually being 60 and we don't know, etc. They didn't even play the game from what they mentioned, just watched someone play it apparently.

​​@@VagrantValmarany of those excuses would still not justify neglect of mention of the topic - even if they weren't yet sure of the answer.

In the original game it just brought you to the Partners page of the main menu, why do people keep saying this like it was a unique sub-menu in the game for fast Partner swapping 😅
