[@InnerFire6213]

this game really pushed the ps2's capabilities back in the day

[@titanjb]

It did, only thing holding it back was it was pretty blurry.

[@djstuntfox]

so true

[@ffx5846]

This game was an example of good programming and optimization. Just imagine something like this today

[@ZinaonZin]

*Instant erection*

[@InnerFire6213]

Something like this today.. that's uncharted right? It looks pretty awesome

[@Not_So_Fireproof]

Zodiark is literally the coolest... if you read his lore, the "Gods" had to keep him imprisoned in his smallest form because they feared the power that he could achieve. a power that could end all existence. in the limit break, you can see he takes on his latter forms, being reborn into an Archangel, then transforming into a Blazing astral Phoenix, then finally intensifying into the Umbral Inferno. with this power, he creates a massive explosion that tears apart the fabric of reality rendering the foe completely Stricken from all existence... if that is not epic... i dont know what is

[@silenthero2795]

Each esper has unique and interesting backstories. One quite funny esper is Cuchulainn. It appears that he was created beautiful at first but was tasked to absorb all of mankind's crap and corruption, but it transformed him to a corrupted form of Baymax. The reason he rebelled was pretty much obvious for such a crappy job.

[@ayandanxumalo9699]

Chaos too. His purpose was to live and die in a constant cycle.

[@NKG416]

my favorite esper,placed it into vaan ahahaha

[@greensmurf9623]

Ayanda Nxumalo Didn't remember this. Clear reference to FF 1 there.

[@WT_Neptune]

That's pretty much one of the most recent villains in the series' backstory too.

[@manofleipe]

He rebelled because all of the evil he absorbed corrupted him, hence "Cúchulainn the Corrupted", and why he acts like a little kid all the time. He's not evil per se or never wanted to rebel, he just lost his way.

[@Gashie_VII]

To this day I personally still feel out of all the Final Fantasy titles, FFXII has the most aesthetically creative, well designed summons/espers. Excellent use of colour palettes, nuances and details, and thematic forms that could've been inspired in the designer if he was high on something. lol.

[@caiusballad4162]

Indeed he was high, and are always high on their best games, almost all of them! you written all I was philosophically having doubts or not irrefregabilities about the game's quintessential gubernator marvelous esthetism!!! Just look at 3:45!! And the sound of 4:05. 4:09, just... wow.

[@j255173]

The most underrated FF summons ever, they were unique, had amazing design, and all felt powerful and epic!

[@brad4058]

Fajita Falcon Super fish bomb attack is what's happening.

[@TheSuperMinty]

The coolest summon attacks, yet the most useless summons in the entire series, literally never even needed to use any of them except for belias to open that gate.

[@azurephantom100]

yep cuz they are used like a replacement for 2 other party members which makes the "team" weaker as they are not equal to two party members and die fairly easily even with a max level summoner unlike most other FF games where they are just a flashy super attack

[@nerastavares7607]

well they're great only by the ffxii izjs

[@steadyhia]

azurephantom100 xxfcvbu

[@LunarDelta]

They're useless even then. Never used them or had any reason to use them.

[@marnea1]

I think Square finally learned from their Mistake. I noticed that in Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Summons are once again going to Fight Along side you like in XII and XIII. Only this time you keep your whole party, so the Summon truly is an Extra Party Member. Which means extra DPS, extra Healing and an extra target to distract enemies.

[@bossshun9]

This was the most under-appreciated Final Fantady game eever. Each Esper was unique, had a background, and literally can devastate the planet or landscape with powers unimaginable.

[@Darkstalker212]

I love FF12 because it's linked to FF Tactics 😊

[@lumberluc]

Still amazing how Vaan and the group managed to get these Espers to work for them.

[@alexandrecmf6161]

lumberluc Most surprising yet, is see they destroying entire cities but not strong enough than 1-2 hits from a sword made by a wannabe sky pirate teenager with badly draw abs.

[@Omega-jg4oq]

I mean Vaan himself and his party have some special moves that can destroy the planet 😂😂 even Ashe is using Stars and calling out the heavens and Balthier sending meteors and Vaan almost like doing Volly ball Super Nova and Basch breaking reality with his fists 😂😂

[@Coouge]

『FINAL FANTASY XII THE ZODIAC AGE』 Teaser Trailer here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emOQk4qlqbF-p9E It's finally come true! We only have to wait one more year!

[@hikari_owari]

This will be a instabuy if they sold that in steam, at least for me.

[@Coouge]

Vayne Solidor #Tchau Querida It's not a lie but it does look like PCSX2 graphics -_- Hope they do more!

[@hikari_owari]

Vayne Solidor #Tchau Querida I know this can have be done in PCSX2 (actually i'm playing FFXII-IZJS English Patched in PCSX2), but even if they only do a remaster i'll buy if they sell that on steam, for me this is the best FF and i don't mind buying it only to have it. but a Remake will be really good, too.

[@hikari_owari]

Vayne Solidor #Tchau Querida Well, let's see how the game will come them.

Appreciate the heads up I’m in Henne Mines now LOL

[@jeremyesser797]

I watch these from time to time and I am still blown away by what Square did with some of these finishers. Even on the PS2 they completely broke the limits of the hardware. In a way the quality and style of these finishers even surpasses modern gen. Some of the best in the entire FF franchise, if not THE best.

[@animathehallowed1380]

Little did we know that Zeromus holds sooooo much power!

[@hijikili2656]

FF12 is peak godhood character design Square Enix always know how to create a good ones

[@Stupidonia]

They are all awesome, but of course Zodiark had to be the most mighty of them all, because he is the "Keeper of precepts"...the supreme beings who created him and the other Espers knew that the moment they unleashed Zodiark to fought the other 12 Espers and stop their rebellion, he would emerge victorious, he is supposed to have greater powers than his other 12 brothers and sisters togheter...In fact I can't think of any other summon/mythological being in any other Final Fantasy game that barely comes close to Zodiark's power....much less knowing that he was deprived of growing older and reach his full power because the supreme beings feared him..... PS: Pardon my bad english

[@jussblazzin2430]

Well there’s knights of the round from ff7 that did potentially 13 hits for 9999 if caster strong enough in magic and anima from ffx oblivion attack also did over 100k dmg

[@AngryDigitalNerd]

Don't worry about your English skills buddy because you did a far better job than the majority of the natives in the U.S as a bunch of them are absolutely terrible at it but other than that, zodiark is actually the toughest and most powerful of all espers.

[@MrZockio]

@@jussblazzin2430 i wouldnt answer in this case with dmg numbers, every ff game converts dmg different, and in fact, in zodiac age version you can push zodiarks dmg to 999k if done correctly, wiping any none boss monster instanly out of existence. but still, lore is what counts in this context, not a dmg number. yiasmat the last hunt trial in ff12 has the most hps of ALL enemys in the whole franchise and takes good a hour without doubling the gamespeed to defeat, he also has pretty unfair attacks that can insta wipe your group that is out if all stay infront of him and a dmg block at 50% hps that halfs all dmg he takes, what makes the fight even longer than it is. but still, zodiarks lore is aside bahamut, ark and eden the best, doesnt matter the dmg he does in other games. 60k doesnt sounds much compared to other ffs, in 12 it was a good bunge of hps a boss lost, aside the fact he does always maximal dmg against all enemys that arent dark element, so 99.999 with banish ray, and aoe dmg of 49.999 to all enemys around a target enemy. so he does in any case way more dmg then your knights of the round or oblivion over time. + he can heal atleast in 12 your whole party fully up, casts ignore reflect, stage effects and vitality effects on the party and himself, can cast reflect on the party and himself and sets his gambit timer to 0, what triples his attack speed. but like i said, dmg doesnt matter, zodiark is zodiark, literally a god of the universe.

[@bcat010]

I'll always love the over the top special attack animations in this game.

[@RichterBelmont23]

Just realized famfrit looks like exdeath

[@artyomxiii]

[@artyomxiii]

I like FFX because of their background story and a major character, as for FFXII I really appreciate some new original ideas (and... bgnd story). But overall their cool appearance and attacks :p

[@artyomxiii]

+kyota75 Aeons are major characters in this one

[@jecapeter]

You know you can be proud when “your“ Esper doesn't even bother standing up before he blows away everything in sight with a gigantic tornado!!

[@Grieverexx]

Imagine being a werewolf ready to hunt and you have Gods summoned to smash you out of existence.

[@Sammich88]

Imo this is the more difficult FF series. I've never been in such grueling fights before in the regular fields. Enjoyed it very much so though in a different FF way.

[@number0017]

Nah early FF game are way harder then FF12. FFX-2 is more difficult then FF12.

[@Coouge]

I'm playing FFXV so far and I think FFXII is way better, considering it was created in 2006 for the PS2. If this was created for the PS4 with realistic environment and graphics, this would beat FFXV 100x.

[@QuixoticUkulele]

Coouge I wholeheartedly agree. XV is garbage IMO.

[@GodJet81]

Sad to say but I agree with u... I got addicted with FFXII a decade ago now eih? OMG.. and now I bought a ps4 and a tv just to play FFXV but I'm not that excited anymore I chose to watch KZbin vids instead of playing... 😧

[@Keyslayer]

I do think FF 12 is a really good game but an awful Final Fantasy, 15 was an unfinished game with no story at all. So i'm willing to give 12 another chance with the new release in ps4. I do think 12 is way better than 15

[@ederlabarrera8143]

The reason that Ffxv is a unfinished game is they wanted to make it bigger and longer, but they could not. A game like FFxii would had the same production problem in ps4. The awful of FFXII is that almost anyone remember anything about this game. I forgot the characters, the antagonist and the plot, I only remember the espers and the secret boss.

[@QuixoticUkulele]

Eder La Barrera As much as I want to disagree with you, I believe you are right. The only thing I remember about XII as good as it was is Yiazmat, the awful task of farming for the Zodiac Spear and Ultima.

[@DJXistance]

well this just got me really hyped for the ff12 remake remaster rewhatever :D

[@Not_So_Fireproof]

+DJXistance i honestly cannot wait... i want to see what the trophies for ff12 would be... wanna get platinum on this game...

[@EarthenCavy]

Holy shit, you ain't kidding!!! I actually got teary-eyed watching this, because I was so moved by how beautiful and powerful it was!!

[@ChaosCloud96]

+DJXistance when did they announce that 12 was getting a remake or HD upgrade? that being said I wish it wouldnt it dose not need one it is not that much of a old game plus it was one of the worst games they should give the HD treatment to some of the seriously old ones as new fans are willing to go back to play a ps2 but they are not as willing to back and experience the ps1 ports of the super old ones (1-9) let alone experience them on any system older than ps1

[@DJXistance]

ChaosCloud96 it was kinda leaked through some final fantasy distant world concert, anyways your opinion is kinda dumb about not remaking ff12. there's no reason not to seeing how they are pretty much remaking every ff game anyways, 8 has been confirmed but i dont know about 9 yet, id much rather have ff12 remade even tho the story have have been lacking i had way more fun exploring and engaging in battles in 12 then any other ff

[@ChaosCloud96]

but it plays itself how is that fun? and he world is bi and open but its copy and paste backgrounds, even the dungeons for the most part are all the same the only cool thing about this game is the hunts, its by far and away the worst in the franchise, and it may seem like i hate them game but that is not the case it is still better than most games released around the same time, its jut that it does not live up to the FF name for me

[@xuchi31]

Still the best summons in the whole FF series, love the horoscope theme.

[@rwelectrical9934]

so many people didn't like this game, I loved it!!

[@ismaeltevenal7492]

[@hiroyuki0358]

全部迫力あってカッコいいですね👍️

[@jorgeoquendo7514]

All of these were so epic, but when i saw Shemhazai i was like "shut up meg". The coolest ones are definitely between Exodus's meteor, Chaos's tornado, Famfrit's gourd and Zodiark's... Whatever that is. I think Zodiark's is the coolest, i'd say. Meteor looks so grandiose though, you see the trees all bend towards the ground right before the impact. Famfrit's gourd is a little lame, but the raging ocean it shows is pretty badass. Belias's hellfire gets a special mention for the aesthetics.

[@UnlimitedFlyers]

FF12 was, alongside X and VIII, the coolest Final Fantasy worlds to be a part of.

[@joevanrielgellica8212]

Nostalgic. As the game progresses, each battle with these Espers make it relatively hard. Being unable to use Attack, Magick, Items, Sap with Ultima having all the restriction shuffled. Zodiark using paling and barrier makes him also damn hard. Not only that, some Esper requires certain conditions to be met before they can do their Ultimate moves. Took me almost forever to know that Exodus needs to the Immobilized. I remember randomly exploring Barheim's Passage and encountered Zalera. Silly me, thinking an undead Esper can be obliterated by a fallen angel - I summoned Ultima to battle only to be dismissed by Zalera's Kill. Hahahaha Same goes for Zodiark. Going in unprepared due to random exploration, I summoned Ultima during his critical health only again to be obliterated by Banish Ray. Indeed, Zodiark is all powerful. Being able to wipe Ultima with one blow. Hahahaha I loved how Zodiark has 12 wings, an allusion to the 12th FF entry in the series.

[@MrZockio]

i mean ye zodiark was not easy, but also not hard if you knew what you are doing, first you need the accessoire to revert potions ability, instead of heal, it does dmg, now you take a remedy to put all debuffs on him he isnt immune against, before you enter the room you also use revert on your party and the provoke on 1 member and disable the heal gambits and swap them out with recasting revert, revert converts all dmg into healing you, doesnt matter what it is(aside his ulti) but for this we have the black mask that absorbs any dark elemental attack, and thats it, this way you can beat him without any trouble

[@matteotoffolutti4932]

I love the summons in this game (and the Lucavi in FFT), there is something cosmic and at the same time terrifying and incomprehensible about their design

[@RooftopAsians]

Best FF in my life

[@thesoulreaper1923]

Damn i love Chaos's & Exodus's Finishing Move!!!

[@gustinex]

Lmao that wolf got fucking obliterated. On topic tho, I never had to use espers in the game. They're weak af

[@tacodan4597]

+gustinex True no point in using a esper when you can literally just pound the mobs into oblivion with a fully decked out crew XD honestly dont think they balanced the summons right lol.

[@ichan4215]

+Taco Dan that's probably 'cause they abandoned the OP edge of summons in favor of more strategic gameplay. i actually prefer this one, because it makes me have time to better my team, instead of relying on summons to do my work for me. though, yeah, i do kinda miss my OHKO monsters. :)

[@RichardLambFishMaster]

+Taco Dan that is a good point: )

[@jovanniorcullo1686]

+gustinex Except for Zodiark. Dude uses scathe all the time. Deals 9999 damage all the time lol

[@AleXwern]

They are a lot better in IZJS version where you can fully control them, change their gambits and fire their limit at will.

[@Ok_Eul-Tae]

Just watching Zodiark's scene filled me with a very real sense of existinal dread and I don't know quite how to feel about that...

[@ARMORXV]

It's been so many years and I've never finished FFXII because I couldn't beat Belias and just gave up. Seeing this video makes me want to dust off my copy of the game and finally understand the combat system this time around being older and wiser and all. Side-note: I'm really loving all of these animations because they remind me of the GF animations from FFVIII

[@Demiurge66]

Wow I've beaten every esper, yiazmat and omega mark xii..guess you have your work cut out.

[@randomguyontheinternet8345]

Don't feel bad. I was stuck and unable to beat the final boss of the game for months. I gave up the game for a year. Picked it up one day. And beat the game A few months later. Because for some reason I couldn't beat the final boss of the game and just keeped dieing. When I finally beat him. I almost cried. 😅

[@serge2cool]

+ARMOR15 the difference between this and FF8 in my opinion is that Espers aren't used every battle as you may already know, meaning you enjoy their music + animations just that little bit mawr. Must be nice to read a comment not boasting about how many Espers and ultimate weapons you had.

[@seanfinney1208]

+ARMOR15 You got stuck on Belias? Damn man, you still have so much more of the game to play! Have your characters have gambits that heal your party with Cura and revive teammates with Raise. Also check vendors repeatedly because they usually restock better stuff as you progress through the story. If you pick it up again, good luck dood.

[@dramatherapyhans9042]

+Alexis Mercer I mean fast in the battle time and the efficiency of not having random battle animation that basically took time.

[@alexismercer3965]

Catthy Wulan oh yeah I guess so. I do like the whole, no battle sequences approach. It is more liberal

[@dramatherapyhans9042]

+Alexis Mercer yessssss and I was like sooo disappointed when the FFXIII came out and the back to the old separated screen battle, I mean come on its ps3 and they can make a stunning graphics and massive world/area with monsters spawning but when we approach them it back to the old separated screen battle..... FFXII looks more real and liberal like you said, every battle happens very quick and fun without removing the ATB bar, I really love the draw-sword-when-see-enemies battle style, its fast and we can target them from far away. Feels like MMORPG

[@alexismercer3965]

Catthy Wulan yeah wasn't really impressed with 13 honestly. Like I love final fantasy but none have given me the same, immersive feeling final fantasy 12 has given me. Great worlds, great enemy designs and graphics practically ahead of its time for 2006. And just the fact the amount of effort in it really paid off. Brilliant game honestly. I could go on lol.

[@johnpatrickclaridad5492]

Played this when I was 12.. Zodiark and ultima are my only missing esper. Zodiark is too damn hard to beat, ultima's lair was like a labyrinth I give up finding her. This brings memories.

[@Jarock316]

There's the fact almost each of these also represents a major antagonist or final boss throughout the series. The most oblivious ones are Mateus the Corrupt, Zeromus the Condemner, Chaos the Walker of the Wheel, Exodus the Judge-Sal & Famfrit the Darkening Cloud as they are Emperor Mateus, Zeromus, Chaos, ExDeath & The Cloud of Darkness either by name or look. But the others... From their backstories and compared to the others, I have compiled the fallowing: Adrammelech: Kuja Hashmal: Jecht Zalera: Sephiroth Shemhazai: Ultimecia And on a personal note, I equate Ultima to Kefka. Reasons: Both wanted to become god, Ultima's Eschaton is similar to Kefka's Light of Judgement. The only ones I have no counterparts to are Belias, Cúchulainn & Zodiark

[@Coouge]

Jarock316 wow very cool!!

Zalera the Death Seraph has the most metal backstory in FFXII lore about it: “Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding.” So he is a fallen angel who is gripping a shamaness who is constantly being killed by him, her dying wail the source of his power. Pretty goddamn metal.

[@martmandred9182]

So basically, a scion of darkness.

[@Linkwii64]

The first game I played on my Samsung Hd tv way back when HD was first introduced. I'll always remember this game for that.

[@archades115]

For the longest time I never drew the connection between the Espers and the Zodiac. Egads!

[@akpokemon]

STUNNING! 0__0 BEAUTIFULLY-made video!!!

[@akpokemon]

(6 years later) They have "death blows"? I thought FF XII espers were just useless NPC's that kinda stood around and did virtually no damage to your enemy.

[@wos_liwet]

Belias: Burns himself in hellfire yet still alive Ardammalech: Cast lightning out of nowhere Mateus: Flee away after her spear is launched Shemhazai: Too much things on her back, and she doesn't get kifosis Hashmal: FLY LIKE A BOSS in lava (or magma?) Famfrit: Throwing that water filled jar and flexible chain Exodus: Freaking meteor judge-wizard Chaos: Just moving his hands to manipulate his swords, saving energy Zeromus: "Darkness energy ball" and from butt, too Cuchulainn: Sorry, it must be painful Zalera: X-SCREAMS AND LAUGH Ultima: Holy, sacred, pure pee Zodiark: Universe destroyed by a suicide made by phoenix-worm

[@riodemark9999]

Akari Tori pretty much

[@poohandim]

Akari Tori ii

[@RooneyHimself]

Mateus isn’t the woman that you see, but the “thing” behind her.

[@romainrenault5416]

overdrive are very impressives !! so great and beautiful !!!

[@robinaerts1216]

Esper finishers! I hope the next Final Fantasy game has finishers like these. I hope Square-Enix doesn't lose its way.

[@Gyang79]

Easily The best final fantasy of the series!!

[@jimmyramosf7]

It does look like it has been remastered from the source. Great video.

[@ian5437]

I finished FFXII having only the first 3 espers in the video... Now I'll have to pull out my dusty 'n trusty PS2 and complete this goddang game!

[@Archenemy95]

ian ben Then you didn't finish it, since 5 espers are acquired as part of the story line.

[@ian5437]

Renny Kim Not sure if you're trollin' or haven't played the game yet...

[@Archenemy95]

Neither. Belias, Mateus, Shemhazai, Hashmal and Famfrit are acquired during the events of the game. Meaning by the time you finished the game, you must have had these 5 and not 3 as you claim.

[@ian5437]

My bad, you're right. I think I only remember three because they're the only ones that I use frequently XD

[@TitanMaster4554]

Ok, there is no doubt, Chaos, Walker of the Wheel is a direct reference to Final Fantasy 1! Each of the blades matches the color of the crystals that the 4 Warriors of Light have, Chaos is the name of the final boss, and the Wheel can be represented as the wheel of time that is looped of the Warriors fighting against Chaos to save the world! It could suggest that this Chaos was one that defeated the Warriors of Light and it was able to absorb their power, thus becoming Chaos, Walker of the Wheel; of course, this is if you ingore the in-game lore, but that's my head-canon and I'm sticking to it!

[@TheLiamis]

Best summons and summon system ever.

[@Auxi.1]

Can't wait to play this game again.

[@meloracolissan7810]

I am scorpio... I feel honoured, I'ce got the classiest esper. (--')

[@mr.redhands8390]

Zodiark pulled out some Evangelion shit.

[@GrotesqueIy]

6:23 "Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?"

[@RaghadGaming]

These summons are even better than FFXV summons ngl. Great job SE! And that’s on ps2…

[@bastianbriceno3950]

Very nice. Nothing beats Yojimbo tho :D

[@leelthelful]

my personal favorite are marteus, ultima, zodiark and chaos but my favorite symbols ( the little black tattoos) are chucahclan, exodus,belas and zeromaus

[@autumnloveschocobos]

FINALLY THE ESPERS IN GLORIOUS HD

[@autumnloveschocobos]

FFXII really deserves an HD remake, it is a really under appreciated game!

[@politicalcorrectness7151]

+Autumn Willey I know right? Can't wait!!

[@dduran8804]

Zalera is always the best

[@jecapeter]

2:57 “Anyone thirsty?“

[@axeljoelcarrillo7189]

Ultima, Exodus and Zodiark was simple badass

[@ShaunMarston]

THIS ISTHE MOST UNBELIEVABLE BUST MOVIE SEQUAL I HAVE EVER INTEISPITHED IN LYFE

[@nexik9426]

I'm a Libra and my mood goes with Exodus like: "Yes, let me casually drop this huge a*s meteor on these tiny creatures to destroy this whole planet. YES"

[@TheXBladeist]

Gosh dern This gave me a nostalgia trip. Got 10 out of all 13. Might 100% this gem on my pc.

[@tokinimo54]

Famfrit pouring water can be such dramatic event.

[@raimonwintzer]

Hey Saggitarii! if you were born after the 29th of november and before the 18th of december, you're also Ophiucus. That means youre represented by zodiark as well : D

[@wos_liwet]

Ophichus mess up the original (12) Zodiacs, how dare Ophiuchus...

[@liamlowenthal8476]

Back when summons didn't all look like retarded rejected airship ideas..

[@RabbitHole20]

OK, the Esper Gemini looks totally AWESOME. Hands down to the floor.

[@グロメンワキガ]

召喚獣それぞれが十三光導になぞらえてあるのが好き。殆どの召喚獣使い物にならないけど

[@kaelden]

Glad to see this many fft references

[@caiusballad4162]

Now that's profoundly and epicly ABYSMAL!!! 2:34

[@EatTheMarxists]

That poor skeletal warrior, just standing there as Ultima fires off her butt-cannon at him. Dude got wrecked.

[@hashishsenju2015]

Ultima just looks like she took an eye opening dump of the millennium on her foe.
