The Early History of Falcom

This is a video where I talk about the early history of Nihon Falcom, covering about the first 30 years of their output. I’ve been a fan of Falcom’s Trails series for a while and always found the company’s history to be very interesting since they have been around for so long, releasing their first games during the genesis of the industry in Japan. I started researching their history just to learn more about the company and, over time, it eventually turned into this hour long video. This ended up being a huge project that I spent about 4-5 months working on and is by far the longest video I’ve ever made. Hopefully it is informative and enjoyable. If I goofed up any of my facts, please let me know. Also, in order to keep things concise, I did not overview the stories or dive deep into the gameplay mechanics of Falcom’s titles and instead focused on their development and the impact they had on the industry. -----Chapters----- 00:00 - Introduction 01:40 - Falcom’s Pre
