-
that so the steam deck didn't feel like that so the steam deck didn't feel like something I necessarily wanted but then something I necessarily wanted but then something I necessarily wanted but then I started to think about oh how would I started to think about oh how would I started to think about oh how would this game run better if I had it on the this game run better if I had it on the this game run better if I had it on the PC or if I had it on the steam deck PC or if I had it on the steam deck PC or if I had it on the steam deck versus the switch or the handheld option versus the switch or the handheld option versus the switch or the handheld option of playing a jrpg on the go which is a of playing a jrpg on the go which is a of playing a jrpg on the go which is a little more powerful which can run a little more powerful which can run a little more powerful which can run a little bit better those ideas were little bit better those ideas were little bit better those ideas were creeping in my mind as well as other creeping in my mind as well as other creeping in my mind as well as other possibilities which I'll get into later possibilities which I'll get into later possibilities which I'll get into later in this video but opportunity to get a in this video but opportunity to get a in this video but opportunity to get a steam deck arose when my good friend steam deck arose when my good friend steam deck arose when my good friend Shane he's actually been on a few Shane he's actually been on a few Shane he's actually been on a few episodes of the EXP podcast so shout episodes of the EXP podcast so shout episodes of the EXP podcast so shout outs to him he was not really using a outs to him he was not really using a outs to him he was not really using a steam deck because he's mostly on his PC steam deck because he's mostly on his PC steam deck because he's mostly on his PC he mostly plays on his PC so he was like he mostly plays on his PC so he was like he mostly plays on his PC so he was like oh I got this thing I don't really use oh I got this thing I don't really use oh I got this thing I don't really use it I can sell it to you for a really it I can sell it to you for a really it I can sell it to you for a really good price so I was like if you're good price so I was like if you're good price so I was like if you're selling it at a very good price I'll selling it at a very good price I'll selling it at a very good price I'll happily take it but unfortunately which happily take it but unfortunately which happily take it but unfortunately which I don't really care this is not really a I don't really care this is not really a I don't really care this is not really a downside this is the LCD model 256 gigs downside this is the LCD model 256 gigs downside this is the LCD model 256 gigs this is not the OLED this does not have this is not the OLED this does not have this is not the OLED this does not have an OLED screen and it does not have as an OLED screen and it does not have as an OLED screen and it does not have as good of a battery life as the OLED and good of a battery life as the OLED and good of a battery life as the OLED and it does not have a 90 HZ screen so this it does not have a 90 HZ screen so this it does not have a 90 HZ screen so this is 60 HZ less of a good battery life but is 60 HZ less of a good battery life but is 60 HZ less of a good battery life but it does have the 256 SSD in here so if it does have the 256 SSD in here so if it does have the 256 SSD in here so if you guys want to get a steam deck I you guys want to get a steam deck I you guys want to get a steam deck I would suggest looking at the OLED model would suggest looking at the OLED model would suggest looking at the OLED model because for the price you're getting because for the price you're getting because for the price you're getting you're going to get much better battery you're going to get much better battery you're going to get much better battery life better screen and just an overall life better screen and just an overall life better screen and just an overall better package in general I think you better package in general I think you better package in general I think you have even more storage I'm not entirely have even more storage I'm not entirely have even more storage I'm not entirely sure you guys can look into that later sure you guys can look into that later sure you guys can look into that later but so that's how I got my steam deck

already a whole bunch there right now already a whole bunch there right now and these are just singular franchises and these are just singular franchises and these are just singular franchises of video games and that's not even of video games and that's not even of video games and that's not even including the ones I have in my wish including the ones I have in my wish including the ones I have in my wish list and the ones I just haven't talked list and the ones I just haven't talked list and the ones I just haven't talked about in general because there's a whole about in general because there's a whole about in general because there's a whole bunch of Indie jrpgs retro jrpgs whole bunch of Indie jrpgs retro jrpgs whole bunch of Indie jrpgs retro jrpgs whole bunch from score Enix Capcom Atlas band bunch from score Enix Capcom Atlas band bunch from score Enix Capcom Atlas band Dynam Etc and Etc if anything the Dynam Etc and Etc if anything the Dynam Etc and Etc if anything the library and the amount of games library and the amount of games library and the amount of games available on Steam and the games you available on Steam and the games you available on Steam and the games you might have available in your steam might have available in your steam might have available in your steam library right now would make the steam library right now would make the steam library right now would make the steam deck a very good purchase so one thing deck a very good purchase so one thing deck a very good purchase so one thing I've noticed as I have been playing I've noticed as I have been playing I've noticed as I have been playing jrpgs over the years is that they're not jrpgs over the years is that they're not jrpgs over the years is that they're not very graphically intensive games they're very graphically intensive games they're very graphically intensive games they're not like your PS5 Naughty Dog game or not like your PS5 Naughty Dog game or not like your PS5 Naughty Dog game or Sony Santa Monica or anything like that Sony Santa Monica or anything like that Sony Santa Monica or anything like that and a lot of them are not not even like and a lot of them are not not even like and a lot of them are not not even like large in terms of scale like an Elden large in terms of scale like an Elden large in terms of scale like an Elden ring or a Zelda breath of the wild tears ring or a Zelda breath of the wild tears ring or a Zelda breath of the wild tears of the Kingdom things like that there of the Kingdom things like that there of the Kingdom things like that there are usually smaller tier games maybe are usually smaller tier games maybe are usually smaller tier games maybe even doublea games which are not really even doublea games which are not really even doublea games which are not really graphically intensive not really that graphically intensive not really that graphically intensive not really that big and massive in terms of their world big and massive in terms of their world big and massive in terms of their world in terms of the content they that they in terms of the content they that they in terms of the content they that they have well slowly they're starting to get have well slowly they're starting to get have well slowly they're starting to get a little bit bigger have a little more a little bit bigger have a little more a little bit bigger have a little more content but the fact that JRP GS aren't content but the fact that JRP GS aren't content but the fact that JRP GS aren't as graphically intensive makes them as graphically intensive makes them as graphically intensive makes them perfect for PC because when I play on my perfect for PC because when I play on my perfect for PC because when I play on my desktop I always max out the settings
-
desktop I always max out the settings desktop I always max out the settings but then whenever I play on my steam but then whenever I play on my steam but then whenever I play on my steam deck I usually do get very good deck I usually do get very good deck I usually do get very good performance and either a solid 30 FPS if performance and either a solid 30 FPS if performance and either a solid 30 FPS if I'm locking it at 30 FPS or a really I'm locking it at 30 FPS or a really I'm locking it at 30 FPS or a really solid 60 FPS with a little bit of solid 60 FPS with a little bit of solid 60 FPS with a little bit of graphical compromises here and there and graphical compromises here and there and graphical compromises here and there and if I compare some uh games which run on if I compare some uh games which run on if I compare some uh games which run on the Nintendo switch versus the steam the Nintendo switch versus the steam the Nintendo switch versus the steam deck they're going to run a little bit deck they're going to run a little bit deck they're going to run a little bit better on the steam deck and especially better on the steam deck and especially better on the steam deck and especially this year and last year when we did not this year and last year when we did not this year and last year when we did not have the Nintendo switch successor it have the Nintendo switch successor it have the Nintendo switch successor it was a really good system to have to play was a really good system to have to play was a really good system to have to play some Modern releases in 60fps or a some Modern releases in 60fps or a some Modern releases in 60fps or a little bit higher than 30fps and still little bit higher than 30fps and still little bit higher than 30fps and still get a solid handheld RPG experience and get a solid handheld RPG experience and get a solid handheld RPG experience and if you look at like all the jrpgs in the if you look at like all the jrpgs in the if you look at like all the jrpgs in the steam store many of them are going to steam store many of them are going to steam store many of them are going to have the steam deck verification which have the steam deck verification which have the steam deck verification which means that they're optimized and ready means that they're optimized and ready means that they're optimized and ready to play on the steam Deck with no to play on the steam Deck with no to play on the steam Deck with no problems you can play them at a problems you can play them at a problems you can play them at a relatively High graphical setting and relatively High graphical setting and relatively High graphical setting and they'll run fine and they'll look fine they'll run fine and they'll look fine they'll run fine and they'll look fine and not have any controller or text and not have any controller or text and not have any controller or text issues or anything like that there are issues or anything like that there are issues or anything like that there are some games which still say playable some games which still say playable some games which still say playable because of either some uh small font or because of either some uh small font or because of either some uh small font or some graphical issues here and there but some graphical issues here and there but some graphical issues here and there but if you guys do have a steam deck or if if you guys do have a steam deck or if if you guys do have a steam deck or if you're looking to get a steam deck I you're looking to get a steam deck I you're looking to get a steam deck I think a better place to even look for think a better place to even look for think a better place to even look for steam deck verification and just a steam deck verification and just a steam deck verification and just a general classification if a game is good general classification if a game is good general classification if a game is good to play on the steam deck is this site to play on the steam deck is this site to play on the steam deck is this site called proton DB because there are games
-
called proton DB because there are games called proton DB because there are games which say that they are unoptimized for which say that they are unoptimized for which say that they are unoptimized for steam deck or unsupported on Steam deck steam deck or unsupported on Steam deck steam deck or unsupported on Steam deck or uh unverified or just playable but if or uh unverified or just playable but if or uh unverified or just playable but if you look at proton DB they might have a you look at proton DB they might have a you look at proton DB they might have a gold or a Platinum Status which means gold or a Platinum Status which means gold or a Platinum Status which means that yeah they actually are playable that yeah they actually are playable that yeah they actually are playable they are 100% playable right when you they are 100% playable right when you they are 100% playable right when you download and install the game but you download and install the game but you download and install the game but you might have to have some like slight might have to have some like slight might have to have some like slight changes here and there like a good changes here and there like a good changes here and there like a good example is trails in the sky first example is trails in the sky first example is trails in the sky first chapter the original version on Steam I chapter the original version on Steam I chapter the original version on Steam I got that from like a giveaway and I was got that from like a giveaway and I was got that from like a giveaway and I was going to start it but then I saw it was going to start it but then I saw it was going to start it but then I saw it was unoptimized I'm like what trails in the unoptimized I'm like what trails in the unoptimized I'm like what trails in the sky is such a simple game not very sky is such a simple game not very sky is such a simple game not very graphically intensive what's the what's graphically intensive what's the what's graphically intensive what's the what's the issue and when I looked on proton DB the issue and when I looked on proton DB the issue and when I looked on proton DB basically all you had to do is just make basically all you had to do is just make basically all you had to do is just make a small change in the properties of the a small change in the properties of the a small change in the properties of the game and once you make that change then game and once you make that change then game and once you make that change then all the issues which were relating to all the issues which were relating to all the issues which were relating to like the audio and the anime cut scenes like the audio and the anime cut scenes like the audio and the anime cut scenes or something are all eliminated and you or something are all eliminated and you or something are all eliminated and you can just play the game from beginning to can just play the game from beginning to can just play the game from beginning to end with no issues so the Nintendo end with no issues so the Nintendo end with no issues so the Nintendo switch is my most used console and switch is my most used console and switch is my most used console and that's because now at this point in my that's because now at this point in my that's because now at this point in my life I really appreciate the ability to life I really appreciate the ability to life I really appreciate the ability to play games in handheld because whether I play games in handheld because whether I play games in handheld because whether I just come back from work and I don't just come back from work and I don't just come back from work and I don't feel like sitting in front of my monitor feel like sitting in front of my monitor feel like sitting in front of my monitor or a TV if I'm multitasking throughout or a TV if I'm multitasking throughout or a TV if I'm multitasking throughout the day I prefer to have a game played the day I prefer to have a game played the day I prefer to have a game played and handheld so I can just play for a and handheld so I can just play for a and handheld so I can just play for a little bit put it away get back to doing little bit put it away get back to doing little bit put it away get back to doing other things and just have that a little other things and just have that a little other things and just have that a little bit of Freedom whenever I feel like I
-
bit of Freedom whenever I feel like I bit of Freedom whenever I feel like I play my PS5 or a game on my PC or like play my PS5 or a game on my PC or like play my PS5 or a game on my PC or like if I dock my steam deck or my switch I if I dock my steam deck or my switch I if I dock my steam deck or my switch I just kind of feel locked in there and I just kind of feel locked in there and I just kind of feel locked in there and I feel like I have to spend like this many feel like I have to spend like this many feel like I have to spend like this many hours sitting down playing that game and hours sitting down playing that game and hours sitting down playing that game and sometimes if I'm playing like a very sometimes if I'm playing like a very sometimes if I'm playing like a very story heavy game I don't mind doing that story heavy game I don't mind doing that story heavy game I don't mind doing that like now a I really like to have the like now a I really like to have the like now a I really like to have the freedom and the mobility to game freedom and the mobility to game freedom and the mobility to game wherever I want and I like to take my wherever I want and I like to take my wherever I want and I like to take my systems on trips and play in the systems on trips and play in the systems on trips and play in the airplane or just take them on road trips airplane or just take them on road trips airplane or just take them on road trips or just play in short bursts and like I or just play in short bursts and like I or just play in short bursts and like I said before the switch it's showing its said before the switch it's showing its said before the switch it's showing its age it's getting a little hard for some age it's getting a little hard for some age it's getting a little hard for some Modern games to run on there and some Modern games to run on there and some Modern games to run on there and some Modern games aren't even on the switch Modern games aren't even on the switch Modern games aren't even on the switch so I will give you guys like some so I will give you guys like some so I will give you guys like some examples of games I've been playing on examples of games I've been playing on examples of games I've been playing on my steam deck like this year obviously my steam deck like this year obviously my steam deck like this year obviously Persona 3 reload was the big one I Persona 3 reload was the big one I Persona 3 reload was the big one I played that from beginning to end mostly played that from beginning to end mostly played that from beginning to end mostly on my steam deck but I did play it on my on my steam deck but I did play it on my on my steam deck but I did play it on my PC whenever I wanted to see some like PC whenever I wanted to see some like PC whenever I wanted to see some like really important cutscenes and what's really important cutscenes and what's really important cutscenes and what's cool is if I played on my PC and I cool is if I played on my PC and I cool is if I played on my PC and I finished up I put in a save I can like finished up I put in a save I can like finished up I put in a save I can like go back and I can continue off where I go back and I can continue off where I go back and I can continue off where I left off right on my steam deck because left off right on my steam deck because left off right on my steam deck because once your Cloud saves have synced on once your Cloud saves have synced on once your Cloud saves have synced on your steam deck then you can pick up your steam deck then you can pick up your steam deck then you can pick up exactly where you left off so that's exactly where you left off so that's exactly where you left off so that's really convenient if you just connected really convenient if you just connected really convenient if you just connected to the internet get some Cloud saves in to the internet get some Cloud saves in to the internet get some Cloud saves in and then you're good to go Persona 3 and then you're good to go Persona 3 and then you're good to go Persona 3 reload was great because tardus was
-
reload was great because tardus was reload was great because tardus was something I was very um nervous to do I something I was very um nervous to do I something I was very um nervous to do I was kind of apprehensive about that was kind of apprehensive about that was kind of apprehensive about that because I was like oh it's going to be because I was like oh it's going to be because I was like oh it's going to be boring it's going to be monotonous it's boring it's going to be monotonous it's boring it's going to be monotonous it's going to be repetitive and I will say going to be repetitive and I will say going to be repetitive and I will say this like genuinely if I played this on this like genuinely if I played this on this like genuinely if I played this on PS5 it would have taken me so much PS5 it would have taken me so much PS5 it would have taken me so much longer to get through the game because longer to get through the game because longer to get through the game because Tardis would have been so much more of a Tardis would have been so much more of a Tardis would have been so much more of a slog but I would do tarder sessions in slog but I would do tarder sessions in slog but I would do tarder sessions in short bursts on my steam deck maybe like short bursts on my steam deck maybe like short bursts on my steam deck maybe like 5 10 minutes and then if I got bored I 5 10 minutes and then if I got bored I 5 10 minutes and then if I got bored I would just turn it off suspend the game would just turn it off suspend the game would just turn it off suspend the game put it away and then get back to it a put it away and then get back to it a put it away and then get back to it a little later or if it was just a long little later or if it was just a long little later or if it was just a long day after a lot of work and I was just day after a lot of work and I was just day after a lot of work and I was just really tired and I just didn't want to really tired and I just didn't want to really tired and I just didn't want to sit in front of a screen I would just sit in front of a screen I would just sit in front of a screen I would just cozy up in bed with my steam deck grind cozy up in bed with my steam deck grind cozy up in bed with my steam deck grind some tardus and then just go to bed some tardus and then just go to bed some tardus and then just go to bed after that and same goes for metaphor after that and same goes for metaphor after that and same goes for metaphor ref Fantasia and it's funny because I ref Fantasia and it's funny because I ref Fantasia and it's funny because I actually think I played metaphor way actually think I played metaphor way actually think I played metaphor way more on my steam deck than I did on my more on my steam deck than I did on my more on my steam deck than I did on my PC cuz I played them kind of PC cuz I played them kind of PC cuz I played them kind of simultaneously that was around the time simultaneously that was around the time simultaneously that was around the time I started my new job and I would get I started my new job and I would get I started my new job and I would get home pretty late I would be really tired home pretty late I would be really tired home pretty late I would be really tired I would just shower have some dinner and I would just shower have some dinner and I would just shower have some dinner and then just pick up my steam deck poop on then just pick up my steam deck poop on then just pick up my steam deck poop on to bed and just play more metaphor to bed and just play more metaphor to bed and just play more metaphor because it just had that relaxing because it just had that relaxing because it just had that relaxing feeling I could just get through a mini feeling I could just get through a mini feeling I could just get through a mini dungeon really quickly I could get dungeon really quickly I could get dungeon really quickly I could get through some bonding episodes really through some bonding episodes really through some bonding episodes really quickly and just playing in short burst quickly and just playing in short burst quickly and just playing in short burst made it didn't feel like I wasn't made it didn't feel like I wasn't made it didn't feel like I wasn't burning myself out and that's the big burning myself out and that's the big burning myself out and that's the big thing with this I don't feel like I'm thing with this I don't feel like I'm thing with this I don't feel like I'm burning myself out when I'm playing in burning myself out when I'm playing in burning myself out when I'm playing in handheld because I can just always

handheld because I can just always handheld because I can just always suspend the game and pick off where I suspend the game and pick off where I suspend the game and pick off where I left off whenever I want to in the left off whenever I want to in the left off whenever I want to in the future so that's a really really awesome future so that's a really really awesome future so that's a really really awesome benefit and what's great about both of benefit and what's great about both of benefit and what's great about both of those games is even if I was having those games is even if I was having those games is even if I was having graphical issues or performance issues graphical issues or performance issues graphical issues or performance issues what I did is I made a in-game profile what I did is I made a in-game profile what I did is I made a in-game profile on Steam which you can do and then I on Steam which you can do and then I on Steam which you can do and then I locked those games to like 40 or 45 FPS locked those games to like 40 or 45 FPS locked those games to like 40 or 45 FPS and I added some other like game and I added some other like game and I added some other like game specific settings to optimize it specific settings to optimize it specific settings to optimize it perfectly for my specific style of play perfectly for my specific style of play perfectly for my specific style of play so I was conserving battery I was still so I was conserving battery I was still so I was conserving battery I was still getting nice visual Clarity and still getting nice visual Clarity and still getting nice visual Clarity and still getting solid good performance overall getting solid good performance overall getting solid good performance overall and getting the most out of my and getting the most out of my and getting the most out of my experience while playing on Steam deck experience while playing on Steam deck experience while playing on Steam deck the fact that I wasn't locked to sitting the fact that I wasn't locked to sitting the fact that I wasn't locked to sitting on my chair and like in front of a TV in on my chair and like in front of a TV in on my chair and like in front of a TV in it's it's hard to kind of describe that it's it's hard to kind of describe that it's it's hard to kind of describe that uh feeling of being locked in but having uh feeling of being locked in but having uh feeling of being locked in but having this freedom of playing on handheld is this freedom of playing on handheld is this freedom of playing on handheld is really nice and one more quick like game really nice and one more quick like game really nice and one more quick like game I want to talk about which I'm playing I want to talk about which I'm playing I want to talk about which I'm playing right now actually if you can you can right now actually if you can you can right now actually if you can you can see it is yeah right over here Dragon see it is yeah right over here Dragon see it is yeah right over here Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D uh shout outs to square Quest 3 HD 2D uh shout outs to square Quest 3 HD 2D uh shout outs to square Unix for giving me the code for this on Unix for giving me the code for this on Unix for giving me the code for this on Steam deck it's been a really fun game Steam deck it's been a really fun game Steam deck it's been a really fun game so far this game is very very very grind so far this game is very very very grind so far this game is very very very grind intensive you're going to keep grinding intensive you're going to keep grinding intensive you're going to keep grinding you're going to get into random battles you're going to get into random battles you're going to get into random battles let's see I'm going to get into a random let's see I'm going to get into a random let's see I'm going to get into a random battle I'm I'm here in a random battle battle I'm I'm here in a random battle battle I'm I'm here in a random battle and you're going to be grinding these and you're going to be grinding these and you're going to be grinding these random battles a lot and just doing them random battles a lot and just doing them random battles a lot and just doing them again short burst having that freedom

again short burst having that freedom again short burst having that freedom like yesterday I just like I got done like yesterday I just like I got done like yesterday I just like I got done with dinner got done with some other with dinner got done with some other with dinner got done with some other chores and I just like grabbed my steam chores and I just like grabbed my steam chores and I just like grabbed my steam deck did some battles uh climbed up a deck did some battles uh climbed up a deck did some battles uh climbed up a tower talked to some people found some tower talked to some people found some tower talked to some people found some treasure and that was like maybe 20 treasure and that was like maybe 20 treasure and that was like maybe 20 minutes turned it off I had to do minutes turned it off I had to do minutes turned it off I had to do something else and finished up whatever something else and finished up whatever something else and finished up whatever else I was doing grabbed another bite to else I was doing grabbed another bite to else I was doing grabbed another bite to eat came back up and the rest of the eat came back up and the rest of the eat came back up and the rest of the night I was just playing on my steam night I was just playing on my steam night I was just playing on my steam deck grinding away Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D deck grinding away Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D deck grinding away Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D so these games so my point is the style so these games so my point is the style so these games so my point is the style of games that jrpgs are the content that of games that jrpgs are the content that of games that jrpgs are the content that are in these jrpgs and the fact that are in these jrpgs and the fact that are in these jrpgs and the fact that they aren't graphically intensive and they aren't graphically intensive and they aren't graphically intensive and the fact that you can play them at a the fact that you can play them at a the fact that you can play them at a little bit of like a higher boost in little bit of like a higher boost in little bit of like a higher boost in like graphics and performance and like graphics and performance and like graphics and performance and quality it really pays off to play them quality it really pays off to play them quality it really pays off to play them on the steam deck versus like the on the steam deck versus like the on the steam deck versus like the Nintendo switch or even the PS5 so when Nintendo switch or even the PS5 so when Nintendo switch or even the PS5 so when it comes to the steam deck you can play it comes to the steam deck you can play it comes to the steam deck you can play mostly all your games in your steam mostly all your games in your steam mostly all your games in your steam library and if you guys are jrpg fans library and if you guys are jrpg fans library and if you guys are jrpg fans you should be good to go with like 90% you should be good to go with like 90% you should be good to go with like 90% of your games like I said like look at of your games like I said like look at of your games like I said like look at the proton DB classifications of what the proton DB classifications of what the proton DB classifications of what they're classified as but you can also they're classified as but you can also they're classified as but you can also like mod your games it's similar to like like mod your games it's similar to like like mod your games it's similar to like this is legitimately a PC this is a this is legitimately a PC this is a this is legitimately a PC this is a handheld PC so you can add mods you can handheld PC so you can add mods you can handheld PC so you can add mods you can do whatever you want to like some of do whatever you want to like some of do whatever you want to like some of your games that allow you to do those your games that allow you to do those your games that allow you to do those kinds of things so I'll give you an
-
kinds of things so I'll give you an kinds of things so I'll give you an example like Final Fantasy 7 the example like Final Fantasy 7 the example like Final Fantasy 7 the original Final Fantasy 7 I uh played original Final Fantasy 7 I uh played original Final Fantasy 7 I uh played with the sua mods you can see uh in my with the sua mods you can see uh in my with the sua mods you can see uh in my video learning to love Final Fantasy 7 I video learning to love Final Fantasy 7 I video learning to love Final Fantasy 7 I installed some of the tuna mods to make installed some of the tuna mods to make installed some of the tuna mods to make the pre-rendered backgrounds look a the pre-rendered backgrounds look a the pre-rendered backgrounds look a little bit better I replaced the chibi little bit better I replaced the chibi little bit better I replaced the chibi style character models with some better style character models with some better style character models with some better models and I added some little bit of models and I added some little bit of models and I added some little bit of mods here and there some mods caused me mods here and there some mods caused me mods here and there some mods caused me a little bit of issues but otherwise it a little bit of issues but otherwise it a little bit of issues but otherwise it was generally a pretty smooth experience was generally a pretty smooth experience was generally a pretty smooth experience and I found some really good tutorials and I found some really good tutorials and I found some really good tutorials of how to set up like sunam mod 7th of how to set up like sunam mod 7th of how to set up like sunam mod 7th Heaven mod manager on the steam deck and Heaven mod manager on the steam deck and Heaven mod manager on the steam deck and it all worked out pretty well so kudos it all worked out pretty well so kudos it all worked out pretty well so kudos to those people and I'm very glad that to those people and I'm very glad that to those people and I'm very glad that was able to get all that done on here was able to get all that done on here was able to get all that done on here and even the murri mod for Final Fantasy and even the murri mod for Final Fantasy and even the murri mod for Final Fantasy 9 which has seen a lot of substantial 9 which has seen a lot of substantial 9 which has seen a lot of substantial improvements over the past couple months improvements over the past couple months improvements over the past couple months recently I played through the entirety recently I played through the entirety recently I played through the entirety of Final fantasy9 on my steam deck and of Final fantasy9 on my steam deck and of Final fantasy9 on my steam deck and with these two mods in particular it with these two mods in particular it with these two mods in particular it kind of locks you into playing on your kind of locks you into playing on your kind of locks you into playing on your steam deck because it doesn't support steam deck because it doesn't support steam deck because it doesn't support the cloud save even if you're playing the cloud save even if you're playing the cloud save even if you're playing from the steam version of Final Fantasy from the steam version of Final Fantasy from the steam version of Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 9 unfortunately 7 or Final Fantasy 9 unfortunately 7 or Final Fantasy 9 unfortunately doesn't support Cloud saves so I played doesn't support Cloud saves so I played doesn't support Cloud saves so I played through the entirety of those games on through the entirety of those games on through the entirety of those games on the steam deck but for Final Fantasy 9 the steam deck but for Final Fantasy 9 the steam deck but for Final Fantasy 9 it was a perfect experience I loved how it was a perfect experience I loved how it was a perfect experience I loved how the game looked it was a great steam the game looked it was a great steam the game looked it was a great steam deck game like I said I could grind a deck game like I said I could grind a deck game like I said I could grind a bit here and there I Ed some of the bit here and there I Ed some of the bit here and there I Ed some of the cheats to get some of the ability points

cheats to get some of the ability points cheats to get some of the ability points up and installing the mods and stuff was up and installing the mods and stuff was up and installing the mods and stuff was actually not as hard and difficult as I actually not as hard and difficult as I actually not as hard and difficult as I thought it would be I initially thought thought it would be I initially thought thought it would be I initially thought it would be like really complicated it would be like really complicated it would be like really complicated really hard but there's some really good really hard but there's some really good really hard but there's some really good videos and Tut tutal on YouTube on how videos and Tut tutal on YouTube on how videos and Tut tutal on YouTube on how to do a lot of this stuff and just to do a lot of this stuff and just to do a lot of this stuff and just follow the instructions ask for help in follow the instructions ask for help in follow the instructions ask for help in the comments if you need it and the the comments if you need it and the the comments if you need it and the people who are making these videos are people who are making these videos are people who are making these videos are usually pretty helpful I'll also link to usually pretty helpful I'll also link to usually pretty helpful I'll also link to some of them in the description below some of them in the description below some of them in the description below shout outs to those guys so one thing I shout outs to those guys so one thing I shout outs to those guys so one thing I forgot to mention is emulation emulation forgot to mention is emulation emulation forgot to mention is emulation emulation is very good because if you install this is very good because if you install this is very good because if you install this Suite called UDC it configures all your Suite called UDC it configures all your Suite called UDC it configures all your emulators and if you have all your games emulators and if you have all your games emulators and if you have all your games like downloaded it'll just configure like downloaded it'll just configure like downloaded it'll just configure everything for you you just choose a few everything for you you just choose a few everything for you you just choose a few settings you can even have them on your settings you can even have them on your settings you can even have them on your steam ROM manager and you can see them steam ROM manager and you can see them steam ROM manager and you can see them in your steam Library which is very good in your steam Library which is very good in your steam Library which is very good and of course I don't condone piracy I'm and of course I don't condone piracy I'm and of course I don't condone piracy I'm not an advocate for piracy whatsoever not an advocate for piracy whatsoever not an advocate for piracy whatsoever but when it comes to emulation I've been but when it comes to emulation I've been but when it comes to emulation I've been able to play a lot of games that have able to play a lot of games that have able to play a lot of games that have not been released on Modern consoles or not been released on Modern consoles or not been released on Modern consoles or which are just very old games that have which are just very old games that have which are just very old games that have not seen remasters or remakes at all of not seen remasters or remakes at all of not seen remasters or remakes at all of course many of you know I was able to course many of you know I was able to course many of you know I was able to play Xeno gears through retro Arch play Xeno gears through retro Arch play Xeno gears through retro Arch unfortunately I had some issues with unfortunately I had some issues with unfortunately I had some issues with playing Xeno gears on my steam deck so I playing Xeno gears on my steam deck so I playing Xeno gears on my steam deck so I moved over to my PC but if you play Xeno moved over to my PC but if you play Xeno moved over to my PC but if you play Xeno gears on Steam deck it it runs perfectly gears on Steam deck it it runs perfectly gears on Steam deck it it runs perfectly on Duck station and so many other PS1 on Duck station and so many other PS1 on Duck station and so many other PS1 RPGs are really really good on Steam RPGs are really really good on Steam RPGs are really really good on Steam deck like Legend of draon and Parasite

deck like Legend of draon and Parasite deck like Legend of draon and Parasite Eve and all these games look and run Eve and all these games look and run Eve and all these games look and run very well on the steam deck you have a very well on the steam deck you have a very well on the steam deck you have a treasure Trove of like retro RP GS PS1 treasure Trove of like retro RP GS PS1 treasure Trove of like retro RP GS PS1 PS2 PS3 they all work pretty well on the PS2 PS3 they all work pretty well on the PS2 PS3 they all work pretty well on the steam deck and if you are already steam deck and if you are already steam deck and if you are already experienced with emulation you can play experienced with emulation you can play experienced with emulation you can play around with configurations and settings around with configurations and settings around with configurations and settings and presets for your controllers and and presets for your controllers and and presets for your controllers and your graphics and all that there are your graphics and all that there are your graphics and all that there are some issues that I've experienced such some issues that I've experienced such some issues that I've experienced such as moving from docked to handheld and as moving from docked to handheld and as moving from docked to handheld and you have to reconfigure your controls you have to reconfigure your controls you have to reconfigure your controls like for example if I'm playing docked like for example if I'm playing docked like for example if I'm playing docked like if I'm playing an emulated game like if I'm playing an emulated game like if I'm playing an emulated game docked with my 8 bitd controller if I docked with my 8 bitd controller if I docked with my 8 bitd controller if I just like remove the plug of my dock just like remove the plug of my dock just like remove the plug of my dock from my steam deck and I want to move from my steam deck and I want to move from my steam deck and I want to move into my couch to play in handheld the into my couch to play in handheld the into my couch to play in handheld the controller configuration isn't going to controller configuration isn't going to controller configuration isn't going to automatically reconfigure to my steam automatically reconfigure to my steam automatically reconfigure to my steam deck Gamepad controls which is a little deck Gamepad controls which is a little deck Gamepad controls which is a little Annoying often times before I unplug the Annoying often times before I unplug the Annoying often times before I unplug the dock I have to go into the settings and dock I have to go into the settings and dock I have to go into the settings and make sure I have selected the steam deck make sure I have selected the steam deck make sure I have selected the steam deck gam pad and then unplug so I'm able to gam pad and then unplug so I'm able to gam pad and then unplug so I'm able to play on the steam deck it's it's it's a play on the steam deck it's it's it's a play on the steam deck it's it's it's a little convoluted it's a little annoying little convoluted it's a little annoying little convoluted it's a little annoying but with the whole muex Suite it's very but with the whole muex Suite it's very but with the whole muex Suite it's very easy to get emulators up and running and easy to get emulators up and running and easy to get emulators up and running and all that so definitely look into that if all that so definitely look into that if all that so definitely look into that if you're a fan of emulation so I want to you're a fan of emulation so I want to you're a fan of emulation so I want to end off this video by talking about some end off this video by talking about some end off this video by talking about some of the downsides of the steam deck of the downsides of the steam deck of the downsides of the steam deck experience this to me is now the jrpg experience this to me is now the jrpg experience this to me is now the jrpg machine until the Nintendo switch 2

machine until the Nintendo switch 2 machine until the Nintendo switch 2 comes out because like I said but there comes out because like I said but there comes out because like I said but there are some unfortunate downsides one is are some unfortunate downsides one is are some unfortunate downsides one is the dock of course doesn't come with the dock of course doesn't come with the dock of course doesn't come with this steam deck like a Nintendo switch this steam deck like a Nintendo switch this steam deck like a Nintendo switch it comes with the dock you don't get a it comes with the dock you don't get a it comes with the dock you don't get a dock with this and the first party dock dock with this and the first party dock dock with this and the first party dock is very overpriced highly recommend not is very overpriced highly recommend not is very overpriced highly recommend not getting that the one I got I'll show you getting that the one I got I'll show you getting that the one I got I'll show you guys a picture I'll have a link in the guys a picture I'll have a link in the guys a picture I'll have a link in the description below for what it is it's a description below for what it is it's a description below for what it is it's a really good dock and it's very simple it really good dock and it's very simple it really good dock and it's very simple it just has a few USB ports in the back just has a few USB ports in the back just has a few USB ports in the back HDMI port in the back and then a port HDMI port in the back and then a port HDMI port in the back and then a port for where you put your AC adapter and for where you put your AC adapter and for where you put your AC adapter and then that plugs in to the steam deck to then that plugs in to the steam deck to then that plugs in to the steam deck to power it up but the fact that you have power it up but the fact that you have power it up but the fact that you have to get a dock separately and I would say to get a dock separately and I would say to get a dock separately and I would say a dock is kind of required if you were a dock is kind of required if you were a dock is kind of required if you were doing a lot of modding stuff and even doing a lot of modding stuff and even doing a lot of modding stuff and even emulation because you're going to be in emulation because you're going to be in emulation because you're going to be in desktop mode a lot and desktop mode is desktop mode a lot and desktop mode is desktop mode a lot and desktop mode is kind of a nightmare and a beast and that kind of a nightmare and a beast and that kind of a nightmare and a beast and that goes into me saying that goes into me saying that goes into me saying that like this whole system is great like like this whole system is great like like this whole system is great like steeve OS is kind of insane what they steeve OS is kind of insane what they steeve OS is kind of insane what they were able to do it's kind of like I were able to do it's kind of like I were able to do it's kind of like I think it's like a modified version of think it's like a modified version of think it's like a modified version of Linux and the fact that it's not Windows Linux and the fact that it's not Windows Linux and the fact that it's not Windows means you have to do a lot of means you have to do a lot of means you have to do a lot of workarounds to get a lot of these workarounds to get a lot of these workarounds to get a lot of these applications running on your steam deck applications running on your steam deck applications running on your steam deck for example like some of these mod for example like some of these mod for example like some of these mod managers like uh mcui mod 710 mod managers like uh mcui mod 710 mod managers like uh mcui mod 710 mod manager it's not as seamless and easy as manager it's not as seamless and easy as manager it's not as seamless and easy as installing it and running it on Windows

installing it and running it on Windows installing it and running it on Windows it's not like entirely complicated or it's not like entirely complicated or it's not like entirely complicated or anything but you just have to go through anything but you just have to go through anything but you just have to go through some hoops here and there and same goes some hoops here and there and same goes some hoops here and there and same goes with GG this is one like big problem I with GG this is one like big problem I with GG this is one like big problem I was having with steam deck and of course was having with steam deck and of course was having with steam deck and of course you can play all your Steam games on you can play all your Steam games on you can play all your Steam games on here but sometimes you have games on here but sometimes you have games on here but sometimes you have games on other launchers and specifically I other launchers and specifically I other launchers and specifically I really like the launcher GG or uh Gog really like the launcher GG or uh Gog really like the launcher GG or uh Gog Galaxy or good old games as they call it Galaxy or good old games as they call it Galaxy or good old games as they call it it's really good because it's 100% DRM it's really good because it's 100% DRM it's really good because it's 100% DRM free when you install that game from Gog free when you install that game from Gog free when you install that game from Gog you 100% own it so you can do whatever you 100% own it so you can do whatever you 100% own it so you can do whatever you want with that exe you can do you want with that exe you can do you want with that exe you can do whatever you want with that file so whatever you want with that file so whatever you want with that file so that's very good so I've been trying to that's very good so I've been trying to that's very good so I've been trying to get some Gog games on my steam deck and get some Gog games on my steam deck and get some Gog games on my steam deck and I've been trying to like add them into I've been trying to like add them into I've been trying to like add them into steam as a non- steam game and I've been steam as a non- steam game and I've been steam as a non- steam game and I've been having some issues with that and I having some issues with that and I having some issues with that and I didn't expect to have those issues and didn't expect to have those issues and didn't expect to have those issues and that's a little unfortunate I I didn't that's a little unfortunate I I didn't that's a little unfortunate I I didn't expect that to kind of happen and I'm expect that to kind of happen and I'm expect that to kind of happen and I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm trying to figure out exactly what I'm supposed to do with all that and that's supposed to do with all that and that's supposed to do with all that and that's kind of a big downside because this is a kind of a big downside because this is a kind of a big downside because this is a PC it should work but I'm kind of PC it should work but I'm kind of PC it should work but I'm kind of confused as to why it's not working and confused as to why it's not working and confused as to why it's not working and it's it's a little unfortunate because it's it's a little unfortunate because it's it's a little unfortunate because if I find a game on Gog which is a if I find a game on Gog which is a if I find a game on Gog which is a better deal than it is on Steam I'm most better deal than it is on Steam I'm most better deal than it is on Steam I'm most likely wanting to get it on G because likely wanting to get it on G because likely wanting to get it on G because it's DRM free and I should be able to it's DRM free and I should be able to it's DRM free and I should be able to play it on my steam deck but even with

play it on my steam deck but even with play it on my steam deck but even with some of the tutorials that I found and some of the tutorials that I found and some of the tutorials that I found and some of the guides that I followed some of the guides that I followed some of the guides that I followed getting Gog running on the steam deck is getting Gog running on the steam deck is getting Gog running on the steam deck is a little cumbersome annoying and I've a little cumbersome annoying and I've a little cumbersome annoying and I've run into some roadblocks here and there run into some roadblocks here and there run into some roadblocks here and there so I'm still trying to figure that out so I'm still trying to figure that out so I'm still trying to figure that out one other issue I had and this was one other issue I had and this was one other issue I had and this was probably the worst experience I've had probably the worst experience I've had probably the worst experience I've had with the steam deck is the fact that and with the steam deck is the fact that and with the steam deck is the fact that and relating back to um GG games and stuff relating back to um GG games and stuff relating back to um GG games and stuff like that so steam is not 100% DRM free like that so steam is not 100% DRM free like that so steam is not 100% DRM free you have more ownership of your games you have more ownership of your games you have more ownership of your games than I guess other game launchers I than I guess other game launchers I than I guess other game launchers I would assume but you obviously are you would assume but you obviously are you would assume but you obviously are you have digital games they're not physical have digital games they're not physical have digital games they're not physical you don't 100% own them and they're not you don't 100% own them and they're not you don't 100% own them and they're not 100% DRM free like they are on goog 100% DRM free like they are on goog 100% DRM free like they are on goog Galaxy or something like that sometimes Galaxy or something like that sometimes Galaxy or something like that sometimes depending on the game you might get like depending on the game you might get like depending on the game you might get like a DRM check where it doesn't let you get a DRM check where it doesn't let you get a DRM check where it doesn't let you get into the game unless you connect to the into the game unless you connect to the into the game unless you connect to the internet and that's happened to me a few internet and that's happened to me a few internet and that's happened to me a few times actually when I'm at someone times actually when I'm at someone times actually when I'm at someone else's house or when I'm in airplane else's house or when I'm in airplane else's house or when I'm in airplane mode I just open up the steam deck and mode I just open up the steam deck and mode I just open up the steam deck and it tells me oh you need to be connected it tells me oh you need to be connected it tells me oh you need to be connected to the internet to access this game it to the internet to access this game it to the internet to access this game it doesn't happen all the time but whenever doesn't happen all the time but whenever doesn't happen all the time but whenever you do have a DRM check it's just a you do have a DRM check it's just a you do have a DRM check it's just a little Annoying and I'm like I'm little Annoying and I'm like I'm little Annoying and I'm like I'm supposed to be playing this game on a supposed to be playing this game on a supposed to be playing this game on a handheld I would not have this problem handheld I would not have this problem handheld I would not have this problem on a Nintendo switch I would not have on a Nintendo switch I would not have on a Nintendo switch I would not have this problem if I had a DRM free version this problem if I had a DRM free version this problem if I had a DRM free version of this game from Gog which I installed of this game from Gog which I installed of this game from Gog which I installed on my steam deck which would be running on my steam deck which would be running on my steam deck which would be running smoothly I'm still trying to figure that smoothly I'm still trying to figure that smoothly I'm still trying to figure that out and yeah some things like that are a

Summary
The main theme is the Valve Steam Deck's value for JRPG and general RPG fans, even for those who already own a Nintendo Switch or gaming PC. Key references include Reggie Fils-Aimé's endorsement and the comparison to playing JRPGs on the go. The practical takeaway is that the Steam Deck offers a superior handheld experience for RPGs due to its PC capabilities, making it a worthwhile purchase.
