The Granstream Saga Playthrough [Part 2] (Archive*)
0*NOTE: This is an unedited archive of a live no-commentary playthrough originally streamed on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/bippoernesti), which means there may be deaths, restarts or intermissions/interruptions.
---------------
The stream had to be split into two parts due to YouTube's 12 hour limit. The stream ran just shy of 15 hours, so I split it at a random screen transition in the middle to make them about even in length.
*At 40:40 I was struck by the streamer's curse and I genuinely did not see the very obvious Ziruas in the left corner while I was playing, which is why I got completely lost on what I was meant to do and ended up running in circles for over 5 minutes.

Stream Title: The Greatflow Chronicle
Live Notification: The D is silent because there isn't one.
Stream Description: Physical PAL version played on a PS3. Regular playthrough, will try to remember most side stuff except all the merchant stuff or the card collection, since I don't want to fiddle with item drops and Sceptre Forces all day. I'm hoping to do the game in one go, but it's just long enough that I might need a second day.
Sorry about the quiet FMVs, but that's just how the game is. The game has moments where it drops the framerate below 60, but any notable stuttering is likely caused by my hardware.
Ah, Granstream Saga, a game whose demo I played obsessively in my youth. It's an okay game, but there's something special about it that makes me feel warm when I play it. Listen to that phenomenal music, too. The game's also a spiritual successor to the "Blazer trilogy".
