Each Final Fantasy game has its own logo and almost every aspect is purposeful. Going beyond just conveying the tone of each game, many also tell their own story, having a close affinity with the game’s plot. And such is the intricacy, that even small details may be revealing.
Some logos have also changed over time, further adding to the intrigue. And the first Final Fantasy serves as the perfect example, as it has featured five different packaged logos, each with their own back story and meaning.

Things were different back then, and a lot of people would be put off buying something from "some overseas country." The mainstream couldn't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese, much less want to indulge in a completely foreign culture. They needed to westernize it as much as possible because back then you didn't have much besides word of mouth and the cover art. Which is unfortunate really, sacrificing something beautiful and artistic just to improve marketing and make sure the game sold in the first place. The logos look so unique and eye catching, and we missed out

@@TheRibbonRed Also much as is the case with gamers, anime fans tend to get stigmatized in generalization because of all the bigots who enjoy anime. I think it's important to keep in mind that people can enjoy another nation's culture while being _absolutely completely racist_ towards the people of said nation. Plenty of Japanese people are like this with China and plenty of Koreans (from _both_ Koreas) are like this with Japan. (South Korea imported Super Sentai but because of the hatred towards Japan, called it Power Rangers, I kid you not) The people in the west who are racist through willful ignorance never went away but they started to enjoy Japanese media.

Don't discount the affect of nostalgia too. Just seeing those logos naturally reminds any long-time player of a certain time in their life, a certain feeling related to that time, a memory of childhood, innocence, unbelievable potential, etc. Imagery is a very powerful thing even in an unconscious sense, completely independent of the surface affects we're immediately aware of.

they definitely didn't have that final logo with noctis for 10 years, they probably only came up with it in the last 3. the story of the game went through several major changes, and the original logo represented a character that was no longer in the game, so they had to tweak it to make it make sense with the actual story of the game

Ff 8, always made me cry. I know to many people it may not make sense, but the word “promise” is so important to me because of Rinoa. The relationship Squall and Rinoa had, was just... absolutely beautiful. They started off as complete strangers, and they dance on their first meeting. And then, things flourished from there. You witnessed Squall develop feelings you didn’t think would happen... she, warmed his ice cold heart. Thus, showing the caring man, for a woman who gave him a meaning to fight, and a reason to live.

The only thing you missed, and I honestly think it's a big one, is the expansions for FFXIV, and probably FFXI as well, which feature very intricate Amano artworks. I guess they may not be 'major' as a mainline Final Fantasy game, but it could be pretty easily argued that the Final Fantasy XIV expansions and their stories are as every bit as mainline and essential as the base game is, especially if a story is being taken into account.

FFXV’s logo is one of the main things that had me enamored with the game prerelease, and although I have my own issues with what became of the story over its 10 year development period, the fact that the FFXV logo evolves over the course of the game’s story all the way to the end is beautiful and incredibly well thought out.

Being European, I grew up with the minimalist approach of just the logo over a white background. And to be honest, I miss that style a lot. It said a lot about the franchise the fact the logo was all that it needed in order to sell well. It gave it an air of prestige, IMO. The Zelda series had the same thing going on, only with a golden background, and I miss that one too.

FFXVI might actually have my favourite logo to date. Come to think of it, it's surprising summons were never used for logos before considering how important they have been throughout the series. I also really like the logos of VIII, X and XIII. While do like XV's logo, I have issues with the fact that it originally referred to something that is not in the final game and that they had to make it make sense with that ending scene.
@ultimamage3
@ultimamage3 3 жыл бұрын
XV's logo is a lie. Etro and the logo was described as "the most important goddess in the XV world", then they waste it with the "twist" of "it was Luna and Noctis the whole time" when Noctis was barely a character in his own game and Luna is nowhere close to being a goddess. She's a slave to the gods, not one of them in her own right.

Given that it's also my favorite game, I just LOVE 11's - the color scheme, the exaggeration of the central theme of teamwork etc. And while it's not a particular favorite, I was floored after beating XV when the full art was revealed - that was a very nice touch by the devs

I find it odd that you delved into sequel logos but not FF14's expansion logos. Normally I just assume that 14 doesn't get a lot of recognition from the channel due to being an MMO and gathering trivia would take a long time, but the logos require very little time and effort to understand.

Big oof that the FF14 expansions and alternate covers weren't used. All three of Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers have phenomenal art, and the collector's edition of the game features a new cover using more unique Amano artwork. Seen here: preview.redd.it/2wnpmsm0m3431.jpg?width=335&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=685cc7361dfd2587c8b60527ff284f3505e912c1 The extra kicker is that this art is ultimately the form that Omega takes in attempting to emulate the Warrior of Light during Stormblood, being directly based on Amano's art and style. Unfortunate that this kind of detail was put into FF13 of all games, but not FF14, which IMO is the FF with the most reverence for it's lineage.

On Final Fantasy VI, in my opinion, uses that logo due to 3 reasons. 1. It uses that logo due the game's focus on Magic (Terra) and Technology (Magitek Armor). 2.The Magitek Armor also serves to the game's more technological approach compared to it's predecessors with it being more relevant then ever before. That is until VII came out. 3.The one that has already been mentioned in the video.
