I'm not sure I have enough of an attention span to watch others playing video games.
I've been playing Mana Khemia 2(PS2, emulation. Not perfect, but playable), I played the port of the first one on the PSP, some time over 6 years ago anyway. These games are kind of addicting. RPG's about alchemy, the best part is that there are no random battles. When you create an item, you have a book where you can spend points, mostly earned in battle, on the 2 or 3 slots that open up for each item(3rd slot has to be unlocked by creating an item with a perfect 100 ether level, which takes better ingredients, or more importantly, better alchemy skills from the helper), which are how stats are improved, or skills gained. It's linear(about life at an alchemy school), but at the same time, you have all the time in the world to gather ingredients, points, money(you can buy ingredients too, in fact you can run a store to sell off key ingredients you made, to be able to buy them at the other stores), etc. It's one of those games where more mechanics open up the longer you play it. Takes a long time to beat though, and there's 2 perspectives you can choose to play from at the start. Not sure if I'd have the patience to ever see the other one through.
Edit: ...and I'm done with it. They expected you to new game+ it with the other character, but the first time around was 55 hours or so, and you still have to earn the points to unlock the stats/skills all over again.
