Pandemonium (Zidane's Depression) - Final Fantasy 9 - Part 25

Let's play Final Fantasy 9! (Final Fantasy IX/FF9) I will be providing commentary to my gameplay and reactions to all the best moments! This playthrough was originally livestreamed on Twitch, but has been edited down for KZbin. If you want to see the unedited version, it will eventually be made available on my Archives channel (listed below). I hope you will enjoy this journey with me and thank you so much for watching, commenting, liking, and subscribing!
Welcome to part 25!
In Pandemonium, Garland tells Zidane the true nature of his creation. Zidane doesn't take it very well, and means to leave his companions behind. Can his friends persuade him back to them?
Final Fantasy 9 tells the story of Zidane, a catboy(!?), who is part of a group of thieves called Tantalus. In Alexandria, on the Continent of Mist, Zidane and Co. set out to capture Princess Garnet, only to find out that she WANTS to be kidnapped! The pair will travel with a group of friends such as Vivi, Steiner, Freya, Quina, Eiko and Amarant to areas such as Lindblum, Treno, Burmecia, Cleyra, Conde Petie and more! They will face many adversaries such as the Princess' own mother, Queen Brahne, and a mysterious man named Kuja!
I am playing this on PC through Steam. This game was published and developed by Squaresoft (now Square-Enix) in 2000 for the Playstation. The mod I am using for graphical upgrades is called Moguri Mod. You can find the website here: sites.google.c...

"I am the new angel of death. YOURS!" Zidane is 100% done with Garland's shit.

[@bunnytails]

I love that line so much.

[@Tomiply]

The Final Fantasy that people say is too light-hearted and childish when, in reality, it's one of the darkest ones. A lot of people just didn't play it enough. Remains my favourite game to this day.

[@terrymcginnis1990]

All of his friends coming together to help zidane through the most difficult time of his life, everybody shows how they have grown. It really handles the "no matter how strong you are, we all need help sometimes. And that's perfectly fine" message very well, in a way that feels earned after everything that they went through together.

[@bunnytails]

It was perfect in every way. He'd always been there for them, and now it was there turn. Love these guys.

[@Disneyfan82]

@@bunnytails It's their way to show gratitude for how thankful they are for him being there, now they wanted to do the same for him.

[@bunnytails]

@@Disneyfan82 It's a very touching moment

[@ginorincon9183]

This is one of my all-time favorite moments in a game. They could've done just a dialogue scene with all the characters, but the series of battles that Zidane faces, the interactivity of controlling the other characters helping him in his darkest hour, and the music... it all just works perfectly together ❤

[@bunnytails]

Yes, agree! This moment moved me a lot. Definitely one of my favorite scenes of the game!

[@yokonakajima75]

You can really feel Zidane's pain here, especially after everything Garland drops on him in one go. That's allot to take in such a short amount of time. Basically it's his whole life has been turned upside down on him. Such a climax part for his character development. I also really liked how his friends stuck by and helped him even though he was turmoil and felt like he didn't deserve it. Say what you want about Amarant, but his reminder to Zidane about friendship and be a loner is what taught him that Zidane was right and here he is doing exactly what he taught Amarant not to do. Great playthrough Bunny.😊 Things are about to get pretty crazy.

[@bunnytails]

He had been searching so long for his past and where he came from. Searching for home. And when he found it, there was nothing but pain. No loving parents, no where he belonged. His friends are his only family, and he's destined to wipe them all out. ☹️

[@ericreacts2]

LOL your reaction when Zidane says "I guess everybody looks the same to someone from another race." Followed by an incredible video game storytelling moment.

[@brennanconnelly]

I think this part is my favorite in all of FF9. I love seeing everyone get together and try to help Zidane. Plus the music is really good

[@bunnytails]

I think I'd have to agree with that. I loved this part.

[@verdantero7929]

This scene is one my favourite’s in this game and itself says it all, and your reaction to this, is what I was waiting for, seeing you trying to read and play through this without tearing was good!

[@bunnytails]

Yep. I couldn't read it all the way through. This part was just too good!

[@Smokyjohnson1983]

My favourite line was a little later in the video… “Is this how you want to solve this problem?”

[@mattwinfield49]

The power of friendship 🥰

[@bunnytails]

We love to see it!

[@bobbobertbobberton1073]

I'm glad there is the internet and I can find sad bastards like myself.

[@PaoloSarti94]

That room filled with... things, at 57:00, reminds me a lot of Alien.

[@bunnytails]

I haven't seen Alien since I was a young child so I don't really get it, but maybe I will when I play Alien Isolation later this week... x.x

[@StrigWilson]

You should listen to Erutans cover of this track (you're not alone) it's super tight

[@bunnytails]

I’ve just listened to it! What a beautiful cover! I remember listening to some of her songs a long time ago!

[@StrigWilson]

@@bunnytails once upon a time on a different KZbin 😔😔

[@shocktrauma85]

Wow, though it's just a game, finding out what powers airships makes you feel a little less bad that our cars are running off the fuel of dinosaur and prehistoric fossils.

[@xirtall2]

I loved your reaction to this Iconic moment in the story... but, girl you really aught to have grinded a *bit* more before reaching this point. Your voices for some of the characters was fun though. Your Quina made them way more enjoyable than I remember growing up with

[@bunnytails]

The Quina voice was quite popular with my viewers 😅

[@Songfugel]

3:00 We finally understand the vision G. Lucas had for Jar Jar Binx 😅 I so wished Terra had opened a new map like in The Legend of Zelda: a Link to past. Even level-wise by normal progression (no extra grinding) it would have made sense, since at this point most party menbers should be anywhere from lvl 25 to 45

[@bunnytails]

That would have been fun to explore!

[@Walamonga1313]

I always felt this "Zidane crisis" part was rather rushed. It felt too sudden imo, and not just how it started but also how it ended. I think it could've been a bit longer and more fleshed out but ehh maybe I'm just being too picky. Definitely loved this part regardless.

[@bunnytails]

You're right, I would have liked to spend a little more time with this crisis he's having. Still hit me in the feels, though!

[@regalpanda4224]

I do think you're being too picky. To me this was the perfect length to not just show his fall but also show how strong of a connection he created with those around him. To me the whole process was done perfectly.

[@DrkShd]

not sure why you was suprise, we boiled water with grandpa souls in FF7 and we even paid a bill for it

[@judestinen666]

Cool this is my favorite schene and track. ( Not alone ) did you like this part April?

[@judestinen666]

Yes thank you for this episode. I must see this at least 2 times

[@judestinen666]

I noticed that you like This music and schene. Sorry April

[@bunnytails]

I loved this part Soo much! It was very touching.

[@judestinen666]

bunnytails yes IT was so good schene

[@judestinen666]

bunnytails how`s Mochi? And how are you?

[@RobAryeeArc]

1:01:23 Chat preformed a Mochi summon. It's super effective.

[@bunnytails]

Hahaha. I wasn't sure what to expect when I clicked that timestamp but I was not disappointed.

[@patriciaskala8359]

I play it throw with out Garnet last Weppon

[@ericlefevre7741]

Just imagine having a girlfriend so awesome that she casts Curaga on you at 1 health and not even realizing it.

[@bunnytails]

?

[@eliwoodnguyen1505]

I dont give a f about how cliché or corny that is The part when everyone gathers to help Zidane and show him the power of friendship It was powerful It was POWERFUL And the " you r not alone" soundtrack..i mean. I was crying

[@bunnytails]

Yes! 💯
