A foreword: I've asked reddit about this as well, but I'd love to hear from this forum in addition Greetings fellow Pokefans! I've been thinking recently that more people should experience the fantastic story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2; so I've been considering recording and uploading all the story scenes in the game; no gameplay and no commentary. I'd use cheats to skip the dungeon floors and to make the bosses still doable. I'll upload the story in chapters as decided by the game's chapters. Do you have any feedback on whether or not this as a whole is a good idea? I'd record the postgame story as well. On the emulator I'll be using to record it, I have the option to apply "Magnification Filters" which arguably make the game look better. I've taken some screenshots and I'd love to know which looks best; even if it's just the original one. The two filters that look viable are LQ2X and H2QXS. Here are two albums to compare the same scene in the three filters: 1. Title Screen
2. Partner at the GuildIn each album, No Filter is shown, then LQ2X, then HQ2XS. Let me know which looks best! I also recorded a brief test video with no filters: PMD2 Recording Test. This video has the mouse cursor displayed in it because I wanted to see if it would appear. It does, but won't be in the movie project if I go through with this. Any questions, suggestions, reactions or feedback? I'd be most grateful to hear from you

This was actually a series I was looking at doing with all 3 games once I got my hands on a 3DS capture card. It'll be interesting to see how they compare, especially with the filters. Now that I think about it, I wonder if you could mute the music and replace it with TGH's remastering project. It'll practically feel like a whole new game with those filters.

The remastered music was something I considered! The only problem is the scrolling text noise, though... imagine if there was a community fandub or something! That'd be amazing... I could either try and find a code to mute BGM or do without the remastered music if I really need the scrolling text SFX. However, I'd also need to wait for the project to finish since the songs aren't done in chronological order :S
Thanks for your feedback!

This series is a great idea!
You could make Shulk and friends do the voices
PMD2 looks great on its own. If I hadn't played it through 3+ times, I would be watching these PMD episodes for hours.
If I was to say anything that could make it better, there are not face pictures for every character in the storyline, such as zubat, only have one face sprite, and they need more to express some emotions. But that would require waayy too much work, making new face sprites in 16 colors and getting the ROM to show them.. PMD looks good enough by itself anyway. And it looks great in the videos you're doing.
I bet it's possible to make a pmd abridged like this. hmmmmmm

I have an idea that'll take a long time to put into motion... I've only released the first three episodes, but when this is all done I'd love to redo it sometime with a magnification filter, remastered music, and most importantly (since the text noise will be gone) a full cast of voice actors! TealGameMaster is doing something similar for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and it's coming along well.
