Clearly, the Untitled Kraken Video Essay has a title

Damn, a MonkeyNess video made me, a grown ass man with bills to pay, start crying on my sofa. And y'know what? That's just a testament to how well the video was made. You did damn good, MonkeyNess. Keep it up.

Another really cool thing about the Kraken is how much the townsfolk of Summers played it up as a terrifying beast; a roadblock to anyone who tries and cross the ocean. That, alongside with the battle itself, made it one of the most memorable moments for me.
As for the title, maybe something along the lines of "What makes a video game boss memorable || Earthbound's Kraken case study" or something along those lines? It's a bit on the longer side, but I think it could work.
Anyways, great video as always! Keep up the good work!

You know it's a good video when you don't go past 12 seconds in with out showing my favorite N64 game.

"Why Kraken is a peak of Earthbound's design"
This is a surprisingly sweet video, despite being about an enemy you fight 3 times (or more if you count the Bionic Kraken).

JAJHASHHSJS YESS I LOVE THE KRAKEN IT LITERALLY INSPIRES ME TO DRAW

The Kraken has always been one of my favorite designs in Earthbound. It's colors are nice while also being spooky. Plus that thumbnail looks great.

Between this video essay and DaEgg123's analysis about Claus you contributed to, I've had a lot of great MOTHER content to watch recently. Thank you! The best part of this for me was your introspection towards the end; I relate strongly to the videos that we upload being likened to children we "raise" to be ready for their grand debut in the world--a project's success is absolutely influenced by a combination of passion, hard work, and luck. I've put out a number of videos I invested a ton of time into that didn't perform well on the site, but most of them wound up opening opportunities in other unexpected ways (all because that one cool person I wouldn't necessarily have interacted with otherwise saw something in my work that moved them enough to reach out).
I love that this all stemmed from a discussion about the Krakenās silly design; Iām glad to have contributed a drawing to the project! RK-dās idea of EBās Kraken being what Ness envisions a Kraken to look like is brilliant, too.
Oh, one small thing, it looks like the links for my channel and Melo's go to a 404 page (which got a laugh out of me because it shows a monkey wearing a red ball cap)!

This video hits home for me because the kraken is my favorite Earthbound boss

The design and theme of the kraken always stuck out to me and is still one of the first things that comes to mind when I think of Earthbound enemies. I like when you pointed out that this kraken doesn't look like a traditional one and kind of looks like a child's drawing, seeing as how my first exposure to any sort of kraken as a child was the one from the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans, which also strays a fair bit from the usual kraken depictions. I also loved drawing monsters as a kid. This is probably a big part in why it resonated with me

Your channel is crazy underrated!! Awesome content dude :)

The kraken is the only reason i started playing Earthbound again

This video spoke to me as one of the two devs on a Turn Based RPG

I've got an idea for a title: "How the Kraken in Earthbound expands the world via art style"
Another one I've got is: "How the Kraken in Earthbound perfectly summarizes how important art style is in games" but that's probably too long. XD

youtube's dumb autoplay made me lose the comment i was typing out ššš so i'll try to remake it
basically, this is my favorite video you have ever made! partially b/c i have always loved the kraken. even if the fight is a little underwhelming, I love the visual design, the battle theme, and the scenario itself. i look forward to this part of the game everytime I play it, and I'll always remember the first time I ever fought this creature. for a title? Hmmm... maybe "The Kraken's Attackin', and It Ain't Lackin'! (In Interesting Design Decisions)" :P
i've also always been fascinated by EB64's Kraken. its design is definitely ridiculous and a bit too reminiscent of a two-headed Jar Jar Binks monster, but it seems like Itoi had some kooky ideas for the creature and I love the allusions to it in the Tazmily Times.
lastly, i just wanted to say that i loved how you talked about your creative process. i could go on and on about this, but i just found it to be an unexpectedly tender moment in this already well-made video. i really look up to you as a content creator, so that was an awesome moment. it also made me feel a little better about struggling to get videos out :P
take care, man. you're the GOAT
