OOPS All ZomBULLs! │ Final Fantasy 1 #6 │ ProJared Plays!

[@ProJaredPlays]

Pay no mind to the scream in the middle. That's simply the ZomBULL screaming as it loses its flesh. NO MORE QUESTIONS.

[@plumfiggle8896]

ProJared Plays! My lips are sealed

[@jhonxiolon]

+Projerd I think you're the only person who can make such playthrough, enjoyable. Keep it up, i hope to see the day that joof can make 50 whole damage with a weapon...

[@164starman]

Step 1: Give Joof the Masamune at the end of the game Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit!

[@NeroMystyra]

Thomas Jones wow you totally sound like his mother or something.

[@cinemacocoa]

I had to replay that moment because I thought it was outside my place! What the heck!?

[@AngryAragami]

12:28 Wow. That one Zombull was HORRIFIED at the sight of Ian's Harm spell coming right at him.

[@tigerwarrior1787]

lol... oh that scream... when you put it like that, it fits super well.

[@Barbabun5]

Uh... anyone else hear that scream at 12:28?

[@Jordan83709]

yeah.....what the fuck?! lol

[@seanflannery8587]

Barbako oh good, I'm not the only one.

[@jihgfdd6688]

yes

[@Rulytasho]

I think that was a Drill... I've heard a lot of construction noises in past episodes

[@luminislucario6332]

Barbako yes

[@MoeChicken]

Just to chime in, yes, I am 100% enjoying this series. I've played Final Fantasy before, but I didn't grow up with it (I actually never played it until after FF7 had come out; I mostly played platformers as a kid), so seeing someone who is not only competent and capable at it but also loves it dearly is really enjoyable. I felt the same way about the Pool of Radiance playthrough (as a side note, I'd love to see more AD&D games...). Real, genuine enthusiasm comes through in videos like these, and it makes the audience excited, even when they have little experience with the subject matter. In unrelated news, I never knew about the peninsula of power. I always ground for the gold to pay the exorbitant prices in Elfland on Ogres and GrOgres, which was unfulfilling, took forever, and is responsible for, like, 80% of my aborted playthroughs of this game. I regard pretty much everything after the Marsh Cave as an entirely different game (one that I find much more enjoyable).

[@UdonBullets]

Not gonna make a whole other comment just to say the same thing, but yeah experiencing the game through someone who is so passionate is completely enjoyable.

[@DongusMcBongus]

MoeChicken Yeah I thought it was going to be an odd play through. But Jared did it, the madman.

[@solblackguy]

It's always interesting to hear about the games people grew up with and how they shaped their preferences growing up. I played a lot of action/adventure and watched/played a lot of Necromunda and Shadowrun since I grew up in walking distance of a Games Workshop. The odd thing is I could calculate saving throws but the concept of issuing commands to party members in a video game felt foreign. The first JRPG I ever played or beat was FF7 as well which I didn't start getting into until it was the last PS1 game I had gotten that Christmas that I didn't complete. Now it's still one of my favorite titles. (Tactics is my #1) Thanks to Projared and Eltimar, I've gone back and tried out stuff I missed out on and wondering how it would've shaped my tastes in games if I played X instead of Y growing up.

[@KamisamanoOtaku]

I really am enjoying this as well, and I think I knew of the peninsula of power, but either didn't know the exact location, or was too scared to use it, or did and can't remember (s'been like 20 years XD). I love the crazy power leveling Jared has been doing. I think I might enjoy him focusing on that for another episode so that he can walk through the Marsh Cave. I remember being all "99 Heal and 99 Antidote before I go in!" though I usually gave up and went with more like 10 to 20 of each. Alternating between real gameplay and power leveling seems like the best fit; I don't think Jared or ourselves will enjoy him taking crazy risks if it forces him to replay large sections of stuff like the Marsh Cave. XD

[@ItsLeah43]

Even as someone who doesn't really like final fantasy(Except for Crisis Core, that game's awesome), I'm liking this series a lot, I'd like Jared to keep this one up.

[@MoeChicken]

You know, whenever you need to feel good, just watch this series. Jared's genuine joy at playing a game he loves is just so infectious. He just sounds so happy!

[@TheOmegaBear09]

Oh Jared....you sold the Copper bracelet from Jerd without even realizing that it gave him a full 7% more evade. And in this game, evade matters. A lot. ESPECIALLY for thieves.

[@rubemevangelista3868]

The reason why I go back to buy INVS and RUSE later on (I got a Red Mage so I keep switching spells depending on what I need)

[@nanowasabi4421]

Joof: LooK at my new magic! MARVEL AT MY POWER!!! Jerd & Ian: Dude, now we have to stop at the inn. Why'd you waste your spell like that? Peeb: ADVENTURE!

[@rexhex3700]

Jerd: PEEB STOP PLAYING ON THE BOAT!!!

[@williamweaver7854]

Ian: oh look a pool of white water I've never seen a pool of white water like this before goes to drink it Peeb Jerd and Joof:nonononononono stop Ian

[@tonyhakston536]

+William Weaver Did you even try?

[@michaelroach3375]

Ian: just kill me already I have no life this other wizard sucks -then joof dies- Ian: I HAVE A LIFE

[@michaelroach3375]

-just than Ian realizes HE FUCKED UP-

[@thelastcompanion]

Your enthusiasm actually does make this way better (not that it isn't already great). It's just always nice to be able to see someone do something they are passionate about.

[@Fierycascade]

My thoughts exactly. I like watching people play RPGs, even the grinding portions for some weird reason, but Jared's excitement and enthusiasm just makes it so much better.

[@andrewscott1153]

Monohtoen very tru

[@Xifihas]

The copper armlet increased Jerd's evade.

[@OGNoNameNobody]

Xifihas 52% -> 59% Evade. 'cuz bracelets be lighter than 'wooden' armor.

Jared is one of the few youtubers whose lets plays i actually enjoy.

[@NeroMystyra]

jigahnnexus Shameless indirect yet clever self promotion. Tsk tsk. I too make KZbin videos and you don't see me mentioning it in comments to indirectly yet cleverly promote my channel, do you? Oh wait....shit.

[@A__Dude]

Don't mind the screaming in the background.

[@tracyblanchard7663]

A_Dude666 Just a plank. Drills can be some scary tools.

[@caseybromage6573]

thats a very human shriek

[@tessbolick6605]

Well, Jared, you and your love for the series convinced me. I went and purchased a copy of Final Fantasy (GBA) so I could play through it myself.

[@MRtetri5]

The GBA is better in my opinion, better graphics, better item purchase system and better battle system

[@Xifihas]

Also, the spells actually work.

[@theother5594]

They kept the peninsula of power in the GBA version ^^ the default mode is easy tho' so spells and items cost less and enemies gives you more EXP I think.

[@theshuckle3209]

Trey Bolick I love that version! I've played through at least three or four times since I was young! Don't skip the bonus dungeons, especially the last one after Tiamat!

[@dylanlahman5967]

@Xifihas Hahah doesn't this actually make the game a ton easier?

[@jackohmsford]

I think the Tyro is about 500 HP if memory serves me. Basically boss level for this stage of the game. I will say it is quite rare to see one at the Peninsula of Power (almost never see them there myself). Edit: About getting money from monsters - I always just thought of it as a bounty you collected for defeating them, not necessarily money they had in their stomachs or something.

[@Nekufan1000000]

It would be great for a game to explore that possibility though. Imagine people who make a living following dangerous monsters around and sifting through their literal shit for gold coins and stuff from adventurers they ate.

[@jackohmsford]

It would certainly be an eye opening experience!

[@Other_Kev]

I always figured that the gold you get from monsters is the value of their furs, bones, claws, and such. So after battle, the party cuts them up and sells it all for gold upon returning to town. The tougher monsters are naturally worth more gold because there's less people brave enough to hunt them, so their parts are more rare. That's actually how making money works in FF12, which I thought was cool.

[@jackohmsford]

Been a long time since I played FF12, so I forgot about that bit myself. However, the stronger monsters are not always worth more - that is part of the reason I felt it was more of a bounty than resources collected - since tougher monsters tend to be away from people and would have less reason to be sought out.

[@jackohmsford]

I don't know about that game, admittedly. If I get a chance, I may check it out, though it may take me a while. I already have such a backlog of games that I am going through - it's what I get for collecting faster than I am completing!

[@IbunWest]

Not that it really matters all that much; but the copper bracelet gave Jerd an extra 7% evasion while having the same amount of protection. So it was still better than the wooden armor.

[@thecaptain2281]

32:55 Yup having a ton of fun watching. I'm actually playing through with you, but on the PSP version. I'm getting further in less time as well. I'm thinking that's partly because the PSP version is somewhat easier. Maybe..

[@doc2197]

Jared, I have to say, your enthusiasm is what keeps me coming back. Most game play videos are nothing unless the people playing is enjoying themselves. A few other lets players have a bad habit of playing games they hate and it just get frustrating to watch them because they stop paying attention or complain too much. Keep up the good work.

[@gwerig3692]

This is such a fun series to put up in the background while I'm painting Warhammer miniatures. Classic Final Fantasy jams, nostalgic stories, and a mood that oscillates between joy and abject terror.

[@rtypespartan]

loving this series, this was my first rpg. much love Jared!

[@bethebadger5517]

I have grown really attached to joof

[@NeroMystyra]

Me too man! I never cared so much for an FF1 Black Mage before Joof came into my life! JOOF STAB!

[@kaidrescher6321]

this isn't boring at all Jared, i leave this playing while i study, it's relaxing to hear you talk stuff about Final Fantasy

[@PapaSprague3725]

Please play this series the whole way through. I played this so much as a kid, and I really enjoy your commentary.

[@xakoman8003]

"I'm just playing some FF mah dude." -ProJared 2017

[@graumail]

The slow pace of this actually makes it very exciting to watch with Jared’s commentary

[@tlync16]

Honestly Jared, your enthusiasm for this game has made me want to go back and play some of my old RPGs, like breath of fire 3, and 4. Keep it up man.

[@Victoura56]

Hey Jared! Having never played Final Fantasy, any of them, I am thoroughly enjoying this play through. It's all your enthusiasm, and it's great to see where Final Fantasy began. Keep it up :)

[@evanfish4505]

I have this image of Joof trading a small paring knife that you see in a kitchen for this massive KA-BAR or something absurd like that

[@boxtank5288]

Evan Fish Now with that mental image, I'm just imagining Joof just one day going Rambo with the knife and spells to compensate for the lack of bows in this game...

[@terramcconaghieold]

I'd love to see you play more classic JRPG, Jared. Have you ever thought of doing a Chrono Trigger play through?

[@BlackWaltz1138]

Final Fantasy was my first ever RPG as well as a game that I watched my older brother play through a couple of times when I was very young. Taking me back to those far more simple days and I love watching your reactions to what is going on on the screen, makes me feel better to know that they way I get into games is not unique. Keep up with these videos!

[@guillermos8447]

The enthusiasm Jared puts into the game makes it worth watching.

[@pixelpanic]

I grew up with this game and while I normally am 50/50 on the youtube grinding channels, Jared makes grinding a joy. I really am enjoying this a lot! Must complete GAME!

[@Swoozman]

"Oh shit, that's a tyrannosaurus rex" that's the most legit thing I've heard in a while.

[@tehbp3500]

As I said in previous videos, I love this game, and you and your enthusiasm are just making the deal that much sweeter, Jared!

[@deaddarkangel84]

I really hope you do a full play through. After college classes I always look forward to coming home and watching you play this. So yes. It's a combination of your entertainment style and the game itself. Keep up the amazing videos!. Thank you.

[@guardianalon]

Dunno about anyone else, but I'm loving the series. These old rpgs fascinate me, and it's great to see you playing this.

[@Suikage]

please finish this series. i want to watch your journey to the end ^^

[@NihonNiv]

I'm having a great time watching this playthrough, and an even greater time playing FF1 for the first time myself these days, after getting inspired to do so by your videos. :)

[@luxtenax9175]

I'm enjoying the crap out of this playthrough! So much I'm re-playing FF1 again on the PS1 because seeing you play it hyped me up. I love the fact that you are really into this game and enjoying every moment for it. Unlike other youtubers who either mash buttons silently or talk about things that have nothing to do with the game, as if the game wasn't that interesting for them in the first place. The fact that you're genuinely enjoying this game is what makes me enjoy this playthrough!

[@jordankelsey4501]

love this series. started playing this game today

[@trevordelepine7708]

2yrs later....still curious about that scream

[@robintst]

Keep at it, Jared, I'm totally invested in this playthrough. This is still one my favorite Final Fantasy games along with 4 and 6, due completely to them being the only ones of the first six games we were given in America in those days.

[@ShadeMeadows]

12:28 So... When will you release the Drow you have in your basement you Madman?!

[@aliasofgray2854]

Shade's Insane Chamber plot twist: It was ASTOS. (The dark elf king)

[@remixtheidiot5771]

Since i was born in the 2000nds' i remember playing these games in an emulator when my uncle or somebody in my family introduced them to me. It wasnt as hd as the wii or a play station, but something about them captivated me, and resulted in me playing plenty of nes and snes titles with emulators. I remember final fantasy mostly, i never got through the marsh cave, i actually had no idea where to go next after getting to the elf village, but playing this game still sparked my love for rpg's. For some reason...

[@rachelmiller3240]

your enthusiasm is great! also because there isn't a lot going on visually I can listen while I do other things

[@matthewschmitt4421]

I've never loved Final Fantasy, but watching with you makes me really happy actually! I tune in whenever a new episode comes out because its just so much fun! Please continue it

[@RustBot42]

Just wanted to add my voice to the rest, I'm really loving this series! Anything with Jared crunching numbers just makes me feel like i'm wrapped in a blanket having hot chocolate, even though I'm not. It's weird. More of this! (and also anything vaguely Pool of Radiance-like)

[@chcoman123]

I'm enjoying this series! I really hope Jared follows through on what he's said on stream before and plays through all the Final Fantasy games. Not necessarily in order, but I would love to see it.

[@Deedonis]

Your enthusiasm is downright infectious!

[@jakoarbarnet2614]

glad u guys fixed the audio synchronicity! lovin this series as always!

[@Mattie3Thumbs]

This has been super fun to watch. When I was growing up my best friend and I would play this over a weekend sleeping and playing in shifts to beat it in two days. We did it multiple times and was just what we did on the weekends for fun. Yes we were strange but we loved it.

[@RubescentDragon]

I've watched every second of this series, (some episodes I've watched more than once) and I've enjoyed every second mostly because it's you Jared

[@StrayF0X]

I am commenting so Jared knows to upload more and also so KZbin's algorithm helps people find this video.

[@NeroMystyra]

Same here man. I'm really enjoying the playthrough and I really hope Jared keeps going till the end of the game!

[@legume2975]

WHAT HAPPENED AT 12:28

[@trulypatrice]

yay! new episode! lol! please complete this series!

[@petfriendamy]

Really enjoying this series! Seeing your enthusiasm for Final Fantasy reminds me of how I much I loved Final Fantasy growing up, haha.

[@HHog]

Despite several tries, I never really got myself to get that far in the first Final Fantasy (even though I pretty much know how most of the game's story goes by sorta picking it up through osmosis), so instead, I'll gladly watch along with someone who has such enthusiasm for the game. Interestingly, you're the first KZbin gamer I follow that even played this (on their channel), to my knowledge. That aside, random question; Did you read the old "8-Bit Theater" webcomic when that was still a thing? If so, what did you think of it?

[@Spock1777]

His reaction to the Tyro is priceless

[@yonaz17]

having a good time. Work has been hell last weeks it's nice to come home drink some beers and watch final fantasy

[@allisonaurion2692]

Can't get enough of this series! Keep up the good work man!

[@rossthompson3688]

Did...did anyone hear a scream at 12:28?

[@tracyblanchard7663]

Amish Mechanic The wood chips from the plank that got drilled did.

[@reconchris8562]

Ghost maybe? XD

[@Susilo_Sovan]

I don't think I can get through this series without going and playing this game for myself. The nostalgia is real.

[@FR0980Y]

Please keep playing through FF1. It was my favorite game growing up. Playing through it now [again] myself and finally got my son into the game. He has been a big Dragon Warrior fan for a long time now but just now is getting into Final Fantasy. Really diggin' this series. A FF6 play through would be dope too. Hope to see that some day in the future.

[@Bardivislak]

Watching and liking as many videos I can to support my boi: Video 6

[@MrFutago87]

That scream at 12:28 was Heidi fighting Lynels in BOTW.

[@zacharycastillo4681]

quote "With little money" form final fantasy tactics

[@NietypowyKurde]

I greatly enjoy watching these gameplay videos. I've beaten NES FF1 on an emulator (but tried to stay true to the game and only used save states in places that allowed to save, so no 'cheating'), so watching you play it I'm amazed at how many things I didn't know or missed. Makes me wanna try emulate the NES FF2 to beat it, no matter how broken it is.

[@Avrysatos]

What you didn't miss was getting to the end to have your sibling overwrite your save game with 4 red mage party when they were home sick from school one day.

[@foxybeatnik]

Definitely enjoying this series thus far, and seeing you play through it makes me want to give it another go myself. I mainly played the GBA and PSP ones, but I think I'll challenge myself with the NES or PS1 version soon. Keep it up! I want to see how this adventure ends!

[@StereotypicalCDN08]

My new favourite series, Jared! Can't wait to watch more

[@ShadowGamer300]

its been a while since you asked this Jared...but your walkthroughs are what inspired me to go out and buy these games. 1,2,4,5, and 6 for GBA. and 3 for DS, and I have only regretted the fact I could not get 3 on a 2d platform, because playing 3 in 3D feels surreal for some reason...but at the same time, I'm glad I dont have to play the buggy/broken versions of the games.

[@onelittleorange6648]

really been enjoying this series. hope you keep going with it

[@gamer708886]

I am really enjoying this because I freggin' love this style of game. I once played a marathon session of Mysteria for the saturn for about 12 hours! That was probably not the best idea but it was sooooo fun.

Jared I don't even know if you read these I I don't normally comment on stuff but I'm gonna make a exception here You asked if people where enjoying this? The answer well I sure as hell am. Have been super stressed and things have just been shit lately and then today I was super sick and your videos are literally the thing I have enjoyed the most recently, This one in particular is great because I get to see a fantastic game that I will probably never have the chance to play. You are actually the only KZbiner I even watch anymore having lost interest In many of the other things I used to watch. TLDR: keep being you Jared, your making at least one persons day better!

I bought the cartridge for this game and got it yesterday. The grind to lvl 2 is deadly to me

[@tiaxanderson9725]

Seeing Jared having such a good time alone is almost good enough to just watch this series.

[@Avadonis]

This is as comfy and nostalgic as the Zelda 1 series

[@OmegaMetroid93]

Oh man, I remember that marsh cave being a massive pain. Can't wait to see how you handle that.

[@ZenoDLC]

So I have been watching this again, and I noticed at around 8:26, the background noise sounds like there's a pterodactyl nearby

[@Frozenfaux]

The talk about grinding for gold makes me relies that when ever I grind it's because I'm trying to buy something rather than trying to level up.

[@mulberryman1305]

i like how the black mage is the one character/class that hasn't changed appearance much through the various Final Fantasy games even in appearance honestly Joof reminds me of Vive from FFIX (yes i know he the black mage has changed but not as much as the others)
