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 45 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.
