Hot DAMN. Talk about a proper finale. The ending was pretty symbolic, I must say. It's weird, usually we'd be here for BS plot armour but to make The Algorithm actually unbeatable was actually pretty poetic. We can't stop it, so we may as well live with it. Good job Cloudie McDoom!

[@actuallynotsteve]

I'm watching this again, and the biggest plot twist in my life is Sora just telling us to let go of baggage and appreciate what we have. That said, I'd follow Artie Mack to the ends of the earth, or meteor, or whatever the fuck

@@insertcooldragonnameherepls you're not kidding, like I've watched it 3 times not just because it's amazing and I love final fantasy, but because I can't figure out how he made this. Green screen + ff12 + ff14 is my best guess, but I'm like hypnotized by the editing and Artie Mack. You could have told me this was from FF13 and the only giveaway that it's not would have been Fall Out Boy

I can't even begin to describe how moved I was my the end, because it's dude actually beating the algorithm by losing to it, AND the perfect summary of how final fantasy always just wants us to be ourselves. And being you is ok, whatever you are. Amazing video.

Since you're accepting you can't beat the algorithm, it would be funny if you invited her to a backyard barbecue. "These grilled meat patties are overcooked and devoid of essential nutrients. Your futile attempt at a peace offering failed to satisfy my superior digestive system."

[@piecesofeight_mashups]

I didn't recognize you off the bat as the funny-walk Sora cosplayer. The algorithm ironically brought me here. Safe to say, you beat the algo and had fun doing so.

[@KingNoctis-b9z]

I've found that acceptance is one of if not the most powerful thing in life. It doesn't mean giving up, but simply accepting where you're currently at. It means freeing yourself from expectations and unhealthy fixations. After I understood and applied it, it was like the fog had been lifted from my eyes and I could see clearly that I would be alright even if I didn't end up getting everything I've always wanted in life. I'll find other ways, I'll even find a new purpose if I need to. Beautiful video and message. You're awesome.

[@yeisonalvarez5776]

This is the most JRPGish thing I've ever watched. Cloudie's videos represent the whole and true soul of all the JRPGs ever created. Watching this makes me feel proud of having known that you existed in this wonderful world. Greetings from a place you would never imagine someone is watching your content.

[@chriscarter2519]

A.R.K Shot... (Artie, Radicus, Konchii) genius! But I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for EVERYTHING you've done and all the entertainment you've provided us. As another SLIGHTLY (lol) older black male, you've given me the drive to keep doing what I love, and what makes me happy. Keep the content (more of my favorite, Sora VS) coming! WE APPRECIATE YOU CLOUDIE! 🖤

[@soon2beninja]

Bro that ending is legit FF standard. Amazing work Cloudie.

[@louisnguyen6610]

Remember.. just because the adventure is over, it doesn’t mean it’s time to give up. It means it’s time to move on.

I came for the final fantasy parody, i stayed for the emotional roller coaster, really glad and proud you made it this far so we can all see this !

This right here deserves to be seen. The humor and the message within. This really something, Cloudie. I know I needed to see this today. Thank you for this.

“Please don’t make me snatch your wig! 😊” SCREAMING 😂

[@BeNwhUzHeRe]

Oh my god, you finally did it. Grats on hitting the milestone!! I’ve been looking forward to this

[@NocturnalMelody]

Unable to cope with this revelation, Radius decides that his friends are doing nothing but slowing him down. Sora pleads for him to remember “what’s important”, but Radius decides that what’s really important is clout. He closes the door on this beautiful world of memory forever. He is transported back into the heat of battle, and The Algorithm notes that this time, he is alone. *Your pitiful existence will soon come to an end.* However, Radicus calls upon a dark magic, decimating The Algorithm and bringing it down to its knees. *No. What is this power?* The Algorithm glitches and flickers out of existence. Radicus stands victorious. However, with no one at his side, he feels nothing but a profound emptiness. And…a growing hunger. “It’s not enough….” *It’s not enough…* “It will never be enough…” *It will never be enough…* BAD END

[@takkun3237]

What an emotional rollercoaster. Drama, comedy, action, this finale has it all. It's cool that this doesn't feel so much like an end as a new beginning. Been here for part of the journey and I'm looking forward to see the rest :D

[@XOXMSperfect]

Jokes aside, this truly captures the spirit of final fantasy and fighting the seemingly impossible to find the light. It felt like when you beat the game and there's that sad yet happy nostalgic feeling. I'm so satisfied with this finale.

[@M_Alexander]

This was a very touching finale to the series. I loved the message on how being remembered and forging connections defeats even the algorithm in the end. Congrats on 50k+ subscribers. The effects and animation were superb in this

[@Sehven77]

Watching this to the fullest made me tear up. I won't lie about it. I don't want you to stop being the awesome content creator you are, Cloudie. You're a phenomenal soul, you've made many of us so happy with your content and allowing us to meet you at Cons and such. I wish I had such a privilege to meet you. I do hope you continue to do great things, and achieve greatness.

[@EatMoRamen]

the editing and storytelling on this was phenomenal!

[@sevazakharenko8176]

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I watched part 2... I'm so glad I cashed in then, this has been an insane payoff. No one puts as much effort into videos alone as you do. This is so well done, I can't even comprehend how you put all of this together. The epic battle, the sick transitions, the storyline!?? I legitimately teared up during the end, well done man. I'll be watching this again and again a few times for sure. I know it says Finale, but I really hope this isn't the end of videos like this, there are still more bosses out there to fight!!

[@ragnarox16]

Damnnnnnnn that was a wild ride! Thanks for pulling this together! It was a fun one!

[@BearBoyJW]

You went to town on this one dude! I really love your sense of story telling and understanding of Final Fantasy with it's camera works as well. I also really enjoy the humor you inject into it. When things when black and white and the text box spoke about hearing jumping in the backyard and with the music playing I knew you were gonna bring Sora out - but I love that entire section. It put a big ol smile on face because I really because I really get the journey, so it's nice to see someone express their feelings on it in such a creative way. Not to sound cheesy, but I say in the end you really did win with this one. 💪

So many feels in this video... Man you kinda reminded me why I like video games in the first place, especially Final fantasy and kingdom hearts :). Video has the right amount of humor and depth to it. I really hope you make it out there on youtube and wherever else you produce your videos, but as it's said in the video, the goal is not the result but the never ending journey. All the best Cloudie :)

[@withclarity1197]

I randomly just stumbled this thinking this was just gonna be meme jpegs tossed inside with random annoying sfxs. But holy hell, i never had once thought this was gonna be such a banger. I really liked the different themes and artstyles across FF series and some other JRPGs used in this video, the transitions between them was well done as well. Gonna binge your other videos right now.

[@dreaper7282]

This was surprisingly cathartic. Reaper's watched this 3 times and its hits all the right buttons every time. Nostalgia with the old school final fantasy esthetic, emotion with Radicus frustration, humor with almost everything that comes out of Artie's mouth, feel goods with Sora, and satire with the Algorithm. Your a true artist sir. Thank you for the unforgettable journey!

[@sweatyeti]

Holy Hydaelyn this video's production quality is the result of a huge labor of love. I'll need to rewatch this several times to appreciate the editing, detail and writing. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!

[@hentanime]

Bro this is officially one of my favorite videos of all time on KZbin. I grew up on FF and KH and this was all kinds of nostalgia to me. Honestly, I didn’t even know about your channel until the algorithm brought this video to my attention, and now I want to go and watch all your videos to catch up on the story. There’s so many things I want to say but I’ll say a few more things. The actual video game graphics is top tier bro. I’m over here like yo square enix needs to let you direct a game Bro that fall out boy attack had me weak!!!🤣 And yo you got that instant KO move perfectly, every final boss has to have that move hahahaha And lastly Artie Mack is my fav character, he’s hilarious.

Its never ending but the key point is that youve done it and made a mark on the world. Im a grown man and can say i shed a tear as it ended. For years ive wanted to make something great and i had a few friends that helped me but have passed away along the way. My story will honor all the people that have inspired me to get this far and thanks to you...youve given me the sign i need. Thank you once again and keep up the good work.

[@celrokproduction]

This was LONG OVERDUE! I saw on Twitter that you said the final was coming and WHAT A FINAL!! VERY IN LINE WITH THE LESSON YOU TAKE FROM AN ORIGINAL FF game! Bars all around from Artie-Mark, and the FF 13 main theme at the END!? the emotions... the music summon too... so much love for the genre, the license, and for eveyrone and yourself too... that was VERY tounching... I would like to say somuch more. Espacially about the fact that Radicus and the gang REALLY felt like believable character, and the fact is that they TRULY WON against the Algorithm the moment the goal was reached the fight wasn't necessary since nobody forgot them. been HELLA years since the part 2, you would think that people forgot about it but no little by little people went to see the video until you finnaly got the 50k sub. The message at the end, you can feel that your talking about yourself, but Radicus is talking about him too, and it make so much sense... REALLY THANK YOU FOR YOU DEDICATION. I hope God got great plans for you in the future. Amazing video I was WAITING for this one fr fr Got me very emmotionnal
