This is my digital Save Point 💾(& a quick reintro! 👋) .I make YouTube videos about JRPGs—new and old🕹️.Always up for collabs, quests, or side missions. 🤝.howdy@erekladd.com 📧

Only a few hours into @DragonQuest VIII and I gotta say I’m really enjoying it. The music is the highlight for me! The file select song has been stuck in my head for days now 🤣

This has probably been my worst performing video in a very long time and I had thought it might be this way. But it’s had some great engagement so far and I’m ok if it flops because it was really fun to finally talk about Shenmue! . So I’ll quite happily take the loss here 🤓

Shenmue changed everything—but not everyone noticed. In my new video, I'm exploring how Sega's cult classic quietly shaped the future of modern JRPGs like Persona, Final Fantasy and even the Yakuza series. Watch here: Likes & retweets appreciated! 🙏

Okay… let’s see what all the fuss is about!!

Any Shenmue fans here? Been thinking about replaying it lately 🤔

Was a short but fun one! Tons of tech issues to iron out for next time but the demo was super fun and 100% worth your time!.

Hi everyone I am now live with the demo for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales come and hang out! .

Day 1 GOTY 2026 confirmed.

Another great opportunity to get into Yakuza!!! Love this series so much.

So so so so grateful to hit 15k subscribers today!! 🙏 Been such a grind but seeing the results is the best thing!

From emotional goodbyes to jaw-dropping intros, Final Fantasy has delivered some of the most unforgettable cutscenes in gaming history! In this video, I’m counting down the 10 moments that truly changed everything for me 👀 . Watch here:.

I didn’t enjoy the story of Expedition 33. Earned me 50% dislikes on my video review for that.

Dragon Quest slimes have made an appearance in my son’s playtime this morning 🤣 Gotta love it!!

Anyone remember Tomba 2? I wasn’t good at it at all back in the day but couldn’t help picking it up just for fun!!!

Final Fantasy V is one of my most favorite games in the series. But there's a BIG reason nobody talks about it and honestly - it's pretty sad. Watch here:

Just wrapped up Donkey Kong Banaza. I can’t even begin to grasp the last few hours of that game. Wow!!! I totally get the 10/10 reviews. Loved it!

About to see Superman!

Here’s one game I completely missed from the 90s - Ape Escape! Not gonna lie, it’s really fun!

After ranking every battle system, hero, villain, soundtrack & cover art - it's finally time. My ultimate Final Fantasy ranking is now live! . Watch here:

Just wrapped up Death Stranding 2. That story hit me in all the right places. Incredible experience, really thoroughly loved this one. Now to struggle to see the credits with these tears 😭 .Amazing work @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/@Kojima_Hideo ❤️
