hi I’d love a color :D and also I’m going to ramble about yo-Kai watch now.
So basically back in ~2014 I was going to my nearest shop and was looking around for games. I then proceeded to find the first installment of yo-kai watch and thought it looked similar to a pokemon game, so i had my dad buy it and it all went downhill from there (in a positive way).
The first game is very low quality, quite literally. It mightve just been how 3d games worked back then, I don’t remember, but it still was a bunch of fun. You play as a kid named Nate (or whatever name you put in) and he gets this watch thing at a weird store and meets two of his iconic yo-kai friends, jibanyan (a deceased cat) and whisper (his lore is revealed in a later game). Yo-kai in this world are described to affect the emotions of people by possessing them, and therefore each one has different effects and capabilities. You can gain more of them by giving them certain food that they like in battle, and you’ll have some quests where you’ll need a certain yo-kai, whether that’s to change weather, people’s moods, or else wise. However, in the first game, it was very simple and quick. The game climaxed at going into the yo-kai watch world, which, while very cool, wasn’t that much after you beat it. The entire game didn’t have much to offer when you beat it, and side quests were very simple. You could complete the entire game in ~3 days like I did. But then came the release of yo-kai watch 2: bony spirits/fleshy souls.
Basically, there were two versions of the game that were available because you could pick a certain yo-kai’s side, because there used to be a civil war going on. Now that’s already a lot, but noticed how I said “used to be”? Yeah, that’s because there’s time travel now. A certain mirror yo-kai let’s you go through them and travel to the past. It’s a lot and it’s so much fun. I felt like it was really executed well too, since my kid self didn’t really ever get lost in what was happening.
While the new and long story content was really cool, they also added so so much more. There were trains and train stations in the previous game, but they only allowed you to basically fast travel to 1 out of 4 areas at a time. But in the 2nd one, you could go to a 3 completely different new places, with a bunch of little stations in between. Not only that, you learn to in the main quest because you have to visit your grandma in the far countryside. And in that country side you go to the past to meet your grandpa and it’s just so much fun. The music is constantly good too, and you can always tell it’s yo-kai watch music with how it has this little wobbly music sound.
But one of the best things for me was the new content. Especially this new thing called the infinite tunnel. Basically, while you’re out in the countryside to see your grandma, you might see an abandoned brick tunnel with the entrance blocked. However, once you complete a completely random main story quest, which has NO relevance to it, the entrance suddenly becomes open. In it, it’s basically a long long tunnel with no light, so you can only see what’s in front of you. A bunch of random stuff will happen in it, such as random people who got “stuck” there trying to talk to you, some of them yo-Kai in disguise and some not. There’s multiple emergency exits along the way too, and each one takes you to a different place in the outside world. Additionally, the further you go, the more tough and different the tunnel becomes, from brick walls to stone walls to suddenly clean and polished marbled. It scared the shit out of me as a kid, but also made me really excited because of how cool it was. The end was at a different length each time, and you could make it be closer or further depending on what you did in the tunnel. At the end there is a small non playable yo-kai(?) girl, and she’ll talk to you for about 2 lines before becoming unspeakable to. Sometimes she won’t even talk because she’ll just be in the background. In the third game there’s a different version of this called Hazy Lane, which is much much scarier but I’ll talk about that later
One of my favorite parts is the golden train. So if you remember about my rambling about how there’s more stations, you also should know that there’s this hidden Easter egg. If you go to a certain downtown train station very very late at night, then there is a chance that a golden train will come up. It’s this game’s equivalent of the yo-kai watch world, except better and bigger and so so much cooler I love it so so much. I would say more but I have to go to school now bye bye!!
