It is now 2024 and this is still the best FF retrospective you can find on the internet! Man, I miss the Gamtrailers site! 😢

This game was the best.✌🏾

Two minutes into the video, you don't know how the game got it's name. I won't be watching the rest.

Thank goodness for this video! I remember visiting this site all the time as a kid, watching shows like Awesome Video Games and NES Tips and downloading the soundtracks. I appreciate you recording this before it went poof.

My favorite parts are: 2:00 5:07 5:53 6:39 6:47 7:00 8:03 8:26 9:20 10:27 11:01 12:29 14:17 16:09 16:33 18:37 18:58 19:08 19:22 19:31 22:19 23:35 27:37 28:12 29:03 29:31 35:07 38:37 39:07 41:16 41:56 45:45 46:04 48:03 48:35 49:12 54:42 55:20 1:04:49 1:05:21 1:05:45 1:07:46 1:07:51 1:07:59 1:08:10 1:08:16 1:08:51 1:09:01 1:09:10 1:09:22 1:10:45 1:10:57 1:15:51 1:16:18 1:16:30 1:17:41 1:19:11 1:20:03 1:23:50 1:27:17 1:45:57 1:46:30 1:47:43 1:47:53 1:48:05 1:48:41 1:59:10 1:59:45

I now see Octopath Travel was heavily inspired by FF6

There are so many incredible Final Fantasy games, but if we are being honest there’s probably only one masterpiece. FF6 is nearly a perfect game. It isn’t my favorite, but I certainly adore it and have to acknowledge its supremacy.

I had a friend who was a few years older than me and owned a SNES a couple years before I did. He let me play his games when I would visit. That’s when I discovered Final Fantasy 2 (aka 4). My life hasn’t been the same since. I adored playing video games at that age but FF4 almost ruined me on anything but RPGs after that. Now I expected to have a compelling story in my games.

Sometimes some crimes Go slippin' through the cracks, But these two gumshoes Are pickin' up the slack! There's no case too big! No case too small! If you need help just call! Ch-ch-ch-Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers! Ch-ch-ch-Chip & Dale when there's danger! No, no, it never fails, once they'reinvolved Somehow, whatever's wrong gts solved! Ch-ch-ch-Chip & Dale!

I'm an English teacher from Brazil who loves videogames, especially Final Fantasy. One of the ways I developed my language skills was translating stuff like game scripts and videos and post them online for people who didn't understand English, and this retrospective was one of them. I would listen to the same sentence, again and again, trying my best to figure out what Brandon said. As I write this comment, I now understand every word perfectly. Retrospective videos about game franchises are a dime a dozen now but this one will always be special to me.

new MechWarrior's are missing the socializing like this. A good respite from the intense battles.

This takes me back, I remember playing the original FF as a child, my dad and I would take turns playing as we made our way through the game. I had a friend who was able to get the Japanese titles and had a famicom, so I never missed a title, it was awesome. We didn't understand the stories, and figuring out the abilities was trial by error and it made them a little clunky, but they were fun.

Just a quick update, I shipped the kit back and they sent me a working kit back. Still some lag with the sensors but the company made it right.

Keep it up bud! Enjoying your channel.

Just found your channel via your KZbin history video on game channels. Nice work so far, looking forward to going through your back-catalogue.

Still have this game and the 6 or so cd set. I remember the multiplayer was so much fun....until people found out how to "warp-ram" other players and the giant IOn weapon on the Klingon battleship they figured out how to make it fire without a cool down... It essentially destroyed online public. Only the people you met who wanted to play real matches in private rooms or out in the middle of nowhere on public were what kept me in it. No video...just a title screenshot..

Bro I remember seeing this a long time ago 💀 broo

Would be cool if you put random gameplay of the game in the background as well👍

Start making clips for shorts with some editing

I see a lot of comments here…and I think I’ll summarize for any young ones reading: Hug your parents. They didn’t watch you play these games out of a deep love of gaming you moron.

Watched this back when it came out originally, and I'm still here.

Very good video ❤

the story about the title's origins is not true

Halloween 2024 I'm watching this again. Much like the AVGN Castlevania marathon, this video has become a ritual every holiday...and maybe a few other times during the year just for fun 😁.

People rail on 8’s graphics today but its difficult to express just how utterly crazy good they were at the time. It was shockingly good, to the point where squaresoft felt like magicians in the industry

Nice dude 😏 I love how you started the music break, and outro with my top favorites! Psylocke, Sprial, and the ending theme. Do you know why Capcom can't use that ending theme on the official soundtrack? I heard it was due to legal reasons 🤨 My first time playing COTA was the PlayStation 1 in the 90's.

It's so spooky that the video ends at the exact moment Final Fantasy franchise died and Square became a woke infected trash company.

Ah my teen years and my crazy obsession with final fantasy, an obsession so crazy that I skipped lots of schoolwork just to play the games

An adaptation for Salem's Lot was apparently announced 5 days ago. lmao.

1:07:45 "Ah, f--k, I've just been assaulted by like 60 pounds of s--t."

I have just bought it. In Spanish ( which I don't speak) . Spent 20 mins and still not out of the opening screens. Bin it goes.

Ashamed to say it, I never beat Ruby from 1997 until 4-8Productions made a video on it a few years ago 😔 I still also always put Aerith in my party with game shark 😁

YT stop playing endless videos that I don't care for after a certain hour!!!

Hi, huge thanks for this. Did you buy the AD&D Player and Dungeon Master in the Standard or Premium print version? Do you believe the Premium print version is worth it?

The things that made the series great held true moving forward to my fave game FFXI that is deep characters deep combat and mythology. The one difference I have from most others is that I never liked FF7 I found it was idk sort of cheesy.I did mildly like 8 and 9 but 10 was the best story I ever witnessed in a game.The characters in 10 al had incredible stories and together it felt like a real life adventure. FFXI was more in line with the early console versions I liked 3-5 but of course with a lot more depth.The only thing I liked about 7 was that it saved the franchise and allowed me to enjoy years of FFXI.

Amazing clip, Afterglow. I crushed your thumbs up marker on your creation. Stick to the high-quality work. Can't wait to see more videos from you.

Lol, sounds like yer saying Supper Metroid on Supper Nintendo ;p

9:20 That's not "10 Minutes Later."

The greatest FF of them all. Final Fantasy VI.

So you're telling me that the green little dude is not named Zelda?!

truely a lost of time ... glad i skipped

"I'm gonna be a blitzball when I grow up!"
