Video Title

Why Suikoden and Vandal Hearts were PS1 MASTERPIECES!

Category

Gaming

Hook

Final Fantasy 7, Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics, these are the common RPG titles you hear when fans talk about the best PS1 JRPGS and Tactical RPGS but the true hardcore JRPG fans know what hidden gems Suikoden, Suikoden 2 and Vandal Hearts are and I am here to tell you why!

High Level Video Summary

Talk about Suikoden is man vs man, on the opposite sides of the war, defending their home towns. You can relate to the terrifying decisions the characters have to make, to do whats right and fight against your upbringing, not turning a blind eye to the injustice in front of you. A corrupt emperor leading his empire into ruin for the sake of a ill intentioned witch who hungers for power. Talk about how Vandal Hearts makes every units uniqueness count and how each character really shows traits

Detailed Video Script 

Go deep into Suikoden
Then deep into Vandal Hearts

Then how each one differs from generic JRPG tropes and how final fantasy 7 focuses particularly on a small cast of characters, whereas Vandal Hearts and Suikoden show you the vastness of the world and builds upon each characters vision of the world and justice within it.

The idea has a clear retro-gaming hook, but I would sharpen the title around the viewer's curiosity. "Why Suikoden and Vandal Hearts were PS1" sounds like it is missing the final thought. Are you arguing they were peak PS1 tactics/RPG design, forgotten classics, or examples of something modern games lost? I would frame it more like: 1. "Why Suikoden and Vandal Hearts Still Matter" 2. "What PS1 RPGs Did Better Than Modern Games" 3. "The Forgotten PS1 Strategy RPGs That Still Hold Up" The video should probably open with the claim first, then use the games as proof. If you start with general nostalgia, the viewer may not know what argument they are following.

This almost seems like it could be 3 videos. A couple video diving into each individual game. The third comparing the two, but be sure to have a hook why we would compare them. Then if I watch the third one I’m most likely going to watch your other ones diving into them in detail so I can decide if I want to go play them.
