[@mrmarf5503]

YOOOOOO. This is so well done!

[@ramuhplayer8255]

Very good animation and background sound, of the videos that I liked the most!

[@Cosking999]

WE GETTING THE REMATCH?

[@dillonyoung5502]

Expertly written and delivered dialogue. Never a regret when clicking a new video.

[@Zephyr_Weiss]

Ever thought about doing voice acting for anime and games? :o

[@lifeiaskedfor]

You can tell cloudie is a true JRPG fan, he can nail everything perfectly. From the walking, to the crypt message with the the deep meaning. No small detail is out of place. This man deserves youtube qward for most underrated

[@jacobteague635]

Don't forget the music

[@dopelope8112]

Deadass

[@GoldenDrummer730]

Cloudie has managed to nail down not only the nostalgic feel of FF, but also the teachings and deep introspection that the games gave us

[@spitfire9434]

Man, I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@CloudieMcDoom]

Based on these comments, my skits are slowly becoming extremely introspective & emotional. Truth be told I just produce content from the heart, which makes me believe I've got a bit of inner struggle & demons to work through. Also I chose this piano rendition of Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" because it speaks to my imposter syndrome I struggle with. All the comments, all the love and all the semi-internet fame makes me so happy...but also like I don't deserve any of it. The pressure to become huge and make this a career bogs me down sometimes and question myself. I have this dark & looming feeling that something is going to come and end it all for me (much like the flashing lights music video) in the midst of my happiness. Thanks for being with me on this journey. 💙 - Cloudie

[@fortidogi8620]

Thats kind of how Final Fantasy is, though. No matter how ridiculous and cliched it gets, it always has a way of cutting to the heart.

[@hewie1841]

Yeah especially in ffx I feel there's deeper meaning along with other games Idk what it is cuz I never played it besides 7 & 10

[@gabrielanthony1325]

We love you bro. Reach out!

[@MetroBaseGod]

Bro tell me who the master of master is and what’s in the box

[@joshuaheller784]

All of your RPG content is absolutely amazing and you should be so proud of all of it. It really speaks to how that era of games really was. Keep up the amazing work. Im so glad that I cam across this channel

[@lawlessinstall]

"Why do you all place such importance on being seen?" Heh that's a good one

[@Brohamond]

Yeah, one of the best lines in this video. If you aren't seen, you're: a) Lonely b) Ignored c) Forgotten d) Irrelevant --> e) All of the above

[@pikaboom6539]

I am so invested in this story right now

[@Xavier_Moy]

😂 me too

[@24blackspiderman]

Honestly same

[@blackpandabear]

Me toooooooooo! It’s so good

[@SorcerorNobody]

That hesitation before selecting yes to open the door... Just in case there's something optional behind one of the 27 completely locked doors after all.

[@edwn00005]

there's 2 doors that are unlocked actually.one with a treasure chest with 3000 gil and one room with a hidden phoenix down.

[@Brohamond]

That hesitation any invested player has when making a narrative choice in any good RPG - "if I go this way, what will I miss?"

[@avatargrafiki]

Bro. At this point it's more than video games. There's a whole psychological aspect behind the real world today. And I appreciate it man. Idk if you're making you're videos based on self experience. Or whether it's a projection of our current reality of social media. But either way, I fucks with it. And I think it's something the world needs rn. Things are always better when personalized. Inner struggles. Much love and positive frequencies bruh. Keep it up. Seriously. I mean it.

[@akared900]

I really like the corridor's motions it really feel like FF8 on ps1

[@Akanalusa]

He nailed that FF mood!

[@kingofswordzgaming675]

The Flashing lights Piano arrangement tho 😌💯

[@clarencep90]

bruh this is cold. when dude started talking i was like yeah thats an ole school jrpg right there. my guy said why do you want to be seen. deep thoughts homie

[@DSTkunn]

Dang, Cloudie. I really do like the moments of introspection that are sprinkled within the jrpg themed videos. Keep on being awesome as we patiently await 50k!

[@eleos636]

Let's get this man noticed by sharing on different platforms so we don't have to wait :)

[@raymondpyle1763]

the flashing lights piano makes this so OP

[@vitaaa]

Dude having this buildup of the characters is so cool and will make the final fight even cooler, I remember when i first saw this channel with the the kingdom hearts skits, and literally everything else you make man is just so quality, keep doing what you’re doing dude i love it!

[@optimize0]

Loving it. 6 parts existential with a dash of psychology and angst. "Why do you place such important emphasis on being seen?" I feel like I want to be a character on this journey.

[@nekotorin]

Yowww this is a genius idea ngl. Show us the journey before that 50k final boss fight

[@alejandrogonzalez8150]

You forgot to say 'No' the first time you found the right door to do another sweep of the hall for secrets. You might have found a weapon only slightly worse than your current one...but now you'll never know!

[@LOREWITHBLAZER]

Man you mimic the movements so well

[@NlackBigger]

Cloudie built different. Thanks for pursuing your work and bringing us such god tier, nostalgic content.

[@DrewMakesBeats]

You about to really take us on a whole ass JRPG journey. Flashing Lights piano arrangement got my eyes watering.

[@bayumahendra1797]

I miss with the way jrpg hugging the wall while walking

[@ichi_san]

This series is phenomenal ! I love how this pairs up JRPG FF elements with excellent philosophical food for thought. that bit about how how he screams to conceal his weakness was really interesting

[@suburbanindie]

I feel like I've played this game. I like the sadistic side of this villain--he's not out for revenge like most of them, he's genuinely trying to torture Radicus

[@spitfire9434]

Man you've got this stuff coming out at a m major cross roads in my life.. Just when I needed those classic Final fantasy/ kingdom hearts themes of identity and morals to kick in the most from back in the day. Thank you man, this is a feeling I had lost for a long time and I think I know what to do now.

[@tylerwilkinson804]

This Flashing Lights piano is fire

[@Sunkhrist]

Man... it really do be like that sometimes... I feel this so much.

[@gakisuke4875]

Very well done...most people dont understand this but its actually a path of the inevitable that hopefully you will acquire the greatest sword ever...could it be in part 2 there will be a maze full of wonders and treasures and more cameos?stay tuned

[@viceanterra3]

The accuracy. I could feel myself mashing x trying to open the doors.

[@TectonicImprov]

You got the voice of the Faith down pat holy shit

this is EXACTLY what every final fantasy is like

[@DragonGodXIII]

I'd play this yesterday.

[@nickharlow4464]

I never imagined parody like video game content would give me goosebumps like this just did ...

[@davidhylton7528]

The lore deepens! Can’t wait for more!

[@Alkimodon]

This is nearly indistinguishable from regular FF. Top notch!

[@super-engineer8437]

Omg flashing lights on the piano! This is so epic and cool!

[@MrJmaster09]

Somehow KZbin algorithm bought me here. Wishing you luck on your journey.

[@fortidogi8620]

he wants the runback too

[@angieinthecity]

It's like final fantasy come to life with a POC protagonist 😭💕💕💕 Really well done in the writing and everything!

[@PyroRocker]

Man, these interpersonal takes on you as a youtube FF character is LIT AF bro. PLEASE KEEP'EM COMING!!

[@D3f3ns3l3ss]

The reflection on the shiny floor 😍 and that scenery!! Great job

[@KupoMagicGaming]

This character building is going to amazing! I look forward to what happens when he finds the why... Amazing work brother!

[@crism8868]

It's like Kazushige Nojima wrote this and Tetsuya Nomura directed it

[@ThirdEyeTyrone]

This man is a true philosopher

[@gabrielh9524]

Damn my mans cloudie out here making movies I need more of this in my life man.

[@martian14671]

Cloudie struggles really hit home. I love this so much

[@Pragma020]

Not going to lie...You deeply inspired me just now. Looked at this a few time. Your entire channel is underrated.

[@NoName-rd6yr]

So we're supposed to die in the Algorithm battle 🤯

[@Yuber187]

I burst out laughing when he yells “what the hell is going on!?”

[@ErinniXeen]

I always love your videos, there is always a phrase or a word or a meaning that somehow hit me inside and I'm like "Okay its talking about me right now? I'm going to cry" lol

[@curtezbrown204]

The production and quality of this is so good, the overall story of this is really getting interesting

[@theJACKYTRAN]

Keep going bro! We’re rooting for you

[@chaosvincent3480]

That hallway somehow gave me flashbacks of Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories. Omg, that reflection on the floor and the tracking involved with that would have killed my computer. I can only say once again that I at least would be interested in making offs and knowing what hardware you use bit obviously the algorithm doesn't like that. And to answer the "mystical persons" question why you want to defeat the algorithm".. because you Cloudie definitely deserve to! You put so much dedication and work into your videos and gamers can practically feel your love for games (and especially JRPGs). Looking forward to prepping for the algorithm re-match and eventually beating it! Official game release next? ;)

[@johnwiggins8487]

Dawg you really dropping philosophy bombs in these videos, I love it man, I cant wait for more .

[@gr2192]

The editing it's Amazing, and the words too! They look like a turning point in a plot and look like they have a profound meaning to you :)

[@elementallobsterx]

This has so much detail. Namely, how "Reason" is capitalized... Reminds me of SMT Nocturne. The other details are so perfect, they don't even need discussion. I've commented before on Cloudie's mastery of emulating games as videos, ESPECIALLY RPGs. His editing is excellent.

[@thewerewolflounge3109]

I really like Radicus as the protagonist he very much a combination of Lighting and Tidus but he more interesting than them, maybe in the next part we get to see Radicus reunion with the rest of the party members and go through a story development among them and how they are staying with him until the end even if the Algorithm is finished.

[@rswatson11]

That’s some solid jrpg dialogue

[@Hate24]

Oh man, Im super stoked for the rest of these thanks for posting!!

[@noxobscurus3917]

I always look forward to your videos now lol thanks for making me open my KZbin more often now haha. Keep up the incredible work my friend.

[@soracloud8847]

The writing on this was impeccable. I was watching it with a laugh, but really mulling it over. you got me wanting a real full fledged game !!!!

[@danth3mandannyweiss607]

Man. The nostalgia you manage to create for me.. is just UNREAL! YOU WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND 50K! I truly believe it. I will continue to like and support your videos! The amount of detail and work you put in, is definitely noticed! Thank you for making awesome material!

[@thanabobana3592]

Everything about these are so fun and amazing. You help defeat my inner “cloxedium” and bring out the cloudie every time I watch! I’d say I can’t wait to see how this all concludes but I’m so excited it’s just the beginning of the journey!

[@DeepfriedBLT]

You've got the running animation down to a science

[@starandpaper6066]

My lord! that's some deep stuff!

[@JGood007]

My man Cloudie took us to the Farplane....thats beast.

[@Yoh23]

Damn cloudie u got this stuff on point. Shows u have years of experience knowing how crazy those games can b

[@bladewolf08]

Hope you saved before the cutscene might have missed a item ! Really though as a black 30 something jrpg fan myself your content really hits home for me. You've even inspired me to cosplay as Riku. Please continue your story and content. You definitely have a fan in me ! You are hope incarnate. Thank you Cloudie

[@madalice5134]

This is the JRPG love/parody channel I never knew I needed in my life. 💗 The almighty algorithm has been on point lately with my recs. The JRPG protagonist hair is so accurate.

[@A-Wal-Music]

YOOOO. I am thrilled to see that you are actually doing this! I look forward to it. As a fan of your work, it means a lot to see I was able to help even in a small way. This is going to be awesome.

[@tonywright6889]

This vid/series and that david wise remix outro just might get me out of my sunken place

[@joltionunivers]

Cloudie you've very quickly became one of my favorite KZbinr's. You have a genuine passion for not only your videos but the accuracy of the content you put out, seriously keep up the good work.

[@bradlybrown3278]

This new final fantasy game looks good, the graphics look amazing, cutscenes are great, gameplay and the dialogue is spot on 😂 would recommend this entry

[@jinchuriki7022]

Ahhh yes, the unskippable dialog

[@espacemaxim]

The doorway scene was just amazing...

[@BklynBabe]

Should've chose the "no" option, lol

[@aether9019]

Can't wait to see how this series unfolds, if you decide to continue it. The elements you've presented bring me back to a time when things were so much more simple. When I didn't recognize the deeper meanings behind what was being said cause I was admittedly a bit too young for some of it. Thanks for showing us this.

[@Dianalambard]

This is absolutely AMAZING. I got chills watching. You really put your heart and soul into these videos, Cloudie. Truly inspirational. On another note, I really like Radicus’ design. 😍

[@Franktasy7]

Kanye West - Flashing Lights playing in the background

[@DaPoofDaPoofDaPoofDa]

Wait seriously???! 😲😲😲😲

[@ultimamage3]

@@DaPoofDaPoofDaPoofDa Cloudie put it in the description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXWYpI2Kr6uBq8U

[@Franktasy7]

Yeah i knew without reading the description because it's one of my favorite Kanye West beats and of course i'm going to know it 😂

[@Manganization]

I knew it sounded familiar

[@taheemosle4849]

As a Black man turning 30 i love you content. Keep up the good work your not alone

[@apathyreaper5323]

the fucking walk dude nailed it perfectly

[@Ebell899]

My dude cloudie is criminally underrated in the FF/jrpg community.

[@Jfoltz39]

Fantastic. The bgm being flashing lights gave me a chuckle. Keep up the great work

[@yediya]

Can't wait for more!!! This is deep!! also amazing how Final Fantasy gamelike this whole setting is..

[@kevinegannn]

Man is walking art through frames and sound

[@Daouz1]

The walking is funny when you speed up the video. And you are awesome, so awesome that your RDR2 song is on my playlist

[@Fluttershyer_]

Very cool idea! ^^ Having a story going on up until the final fight is awesome and your editing and acting are superb while staying true to the estethics and feeling of Final Fantasy. This feels like a combination of Final Fantasy X, VIII and Kingdom Hearts series. Loving it!

[@SANDbCREATIVE]

So so so so SO HAPPY you decided to do this it's so interesting and just something really good to watch.

[@emmanuelsanchez2551]

When I see the post on Facebook I come to KZbin to make sure I like the video

[@computaterjones]

And this has been deep thoughts with Radicus. I really like these. Keep em coming.

[@kevex3929]

When you click yes to open the door, only to realize you'll get one shot. Guess I gotta go back and grind some more and level up.

[@zeen95]

KING. I loved this. Please continue to be great. I love seeing all this hard work to make this ART. Keep it up man.

[@kennethschmidt3402]

Cloudie you are a genius and an amazing Producer/Director/Actor this is so on the nose dude!!!!

[@TnrOfficial-1]

this is amazing, there's literally no way you should be this underrated.

[@numbah82]

I’m now emotionally invested. There is no going back for me.

[@BlackxExorcistitsyaboi]

This was so fucking good. Only one other youtuber has been able to really capture the feelings of playing JRPG quite like you. Yall both should be way higher in sub count

[@TheMazoku2369]

Cloudie always comin with the heat!!

[@kierrawatson4142]

I'll be waiting for part 2 soon, you have creative skills and acting keep going cloudie!

[@jamesbuell1985]

That was amazing sharing this with everyone.

[@moço_aquele]

This feels so much like FFX, but I'm also getting some Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask cutscenes vibes. Like that direction and editing really remind me of those!

[@Ilovemariofan]

We need to start and fund a Cloudie JRPG
