Nintendo Switch Cosmic Fantasy Collection Complete

I've always been interested in trying these games, I have the Mega CD version but never got far due to the language barrier. I love the old anime art style in the series.

No quality of life improvements and lack of quick save is kind of a deal breaker for me though at $50. I know I'm going to regret passing on the physical release, but I'm not sure i'd have the patience for the difficulty these days.

What a rollercoaster. Been waiting for the first game in English since 1992. I could easily forgive the lack of upgrades or QOL features, not being on Steam, and even an outrageous price, just to finally play this old game. But the brokenness cannot be overlooked as that hampers the entire experience. I can only hope that the publisher or some benevolent modder finds it in their heart to fix it up.

One thing you didn't specify in the video. Is the Switch version censored compared to the original JP version, like the Working Designs US version from 1992?
That's very much a deal breaker for me.

Awesome video! It's so nice to see some new CF content! ❤️

Btw, I've played the japanese collection that came out last year, and the extra voices you were talking about at 17:33 are missing there as well. I wonder why they removed them… 🤔

I think my enjoyment of this series may remain relegated to GTV videos. 🙂

I will absolutely pick these up if the second collection comes out in english!

Thanks for the review. I was curious, but not curious enough to buy it. Like you, I think I'd rather have the later games. Does CF2 still have the audio sequence with a black screen where they're being smuggled in a crate or something and one of the cats farts? That always amused me.

Thank you GTV-Japan❤❤❤😊

I love the artwork from this era. Peak art.

I wished that Edia had added some additional features used in Sega CD/Mega CD version Cosmic Fantasy Stories (1992) as well as adding better quality cutsenses featured in Cosmic Fantasy Visual Collection (1993) specially for the first game. Also I hope that Edia will make Cosmic Fantasy Collection 1 and 2 available on other gaming platforms like the PC in the future.

Love your work as usual! What a great series, good to see it resurface on such a popular console and with an english translation to boot! This is how I felt a few years back when trials of mana finally released in the west. There are still more that need this treatment too. If this were 30 years ago 10 year old me would be beside himself with glee.. oh well, at least we got em when we're 40 😭

I threw down for the Limited Run Games physical pre-order. I figured $45 is normal for a collection cart like this and it'd be cool to own the whole series if they do a volume 2. I didn't realize the digital was $50! I'm fairly certain there won't be a volume 2 now. The outcome is obvious. It won't sell at that price and the company will assume nobody's interested. Tale as old as time.

I'm gonna save the universe, and I'm gonna by god do it in my TEDDY BEAR HELMET.

This is really helpful as I recently purchased both Japanese collections and have been reluctant to take them on (I can speak but my reading is trash). Knowing I have to grind I’ll take a shot.

Also 50 bucks for roughly 30 hours of game? I paid under 20 for Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous EE with some of the DLC and its uhh.. 150-200+ hours of game. Its too much game really.

Wow. The LR release is somehow cheaper and isnt due till like August so hopefully they will have fixed the issues. (Maybe.)

I really hope someone can extract this translation at some point. I'd love to play this in English on real PCE hardware someday. I'd be willing to pay $50 each for English PCE CD releases.
