[@jacethomas5562]

Man, looking back the "emulator days" were so fun and crazy. It was like the first time ever I went from being able to play like 3 new games a year to having too many Japan-only RPGs to know what to do with! And my parents will never know how big of an Internet pirate I was 🦜🏴‍☠️🛜

[@shinami3758]

@@CD-vb9fi SNES was one of the consoles my parents didn't buy as I grew up. The NES, Sega, GBA, 3DO, N64, and PSX were the consoles that entered the house in steps from my baby days up to early high school. So, I wouldn't have gotten to know the SNES greats like Chrono Trigger, LoZ:LttP, FF4-6, Super Metroid, and Megaman X1-X3 at all if not for emulators. Of course, my early teen curiosity also had me trying games like Bahamat Lagoon, Fire Emblem, and FF Mystic Quest as well.

Torian beauty is the best song in the game

I first heard the boss theme in Super Mario RPG (Culex) and I was like "Damn. That's good."

[@arieljacobsegal]

1000% ! It was such a quantum leap from FFI. Uematsu is the John Williams of game music

[@downscale]

Couldn't agree more!

[@downscale]

@@arieljacobsegal Love that comparison! You're so right!

[@ScottBeck79]

Couldn't agree more. SquareSoft pretty much could do no wrong from the early 90s to the early 2000s and Enix right there with them as we all know. Personally, I think the music in IV is even better than V & VI but that's probably just my nostalgia. I think objectively those two would be considered by most (including me) the "better" games overall.

This is a top 5 game of all time for me. I played it over and over, found all the secrets (even the imp summon, which was a massive pain to get and totally useless, lol), and loved every aspect. This is Golden Age Square.

In this game, sure... in FF Renaissance, the Imp summon isn't that useless...

[@poughkeepsieblue]

[@Ta2dwitetrash]

My 1st Final fantasy was 7. I will never forget seeing it being played for first time. I was over at a friends house and his older brother was playing it. I walked into his room mid battle and watched him summon the earth attack. My mind was blown. And all i could think about for a year was saving up enough to get a Playstation as fast as i could.

[@mullinsjm1]

Such a good game. I had it on pc.

[@robgoins3672]

It did the same to me. It changed my life. Weird thinking about now as a 40 year old man…..😊

[@downscale]

FFVII surely was a show-stopper for many! But that it was 7 after only knowing about "3" before hand had me confused like most as well. I wonder if they knew that VII was so grand that no one would really care about the numbering discrepancy? 😂

[@johntomasovic2846]

The original FF was my first, but my fav was FF III (6)

[@eldebo99]

My first exposure to Final Fantasy "II" was at a friend's house in early high school. Another friend had brought over a VHS tape of gameplay. So I sit and watch FF2 here while they're playing D&D. I had played FF1 on the NES so I was intrigued. But I was so impressed by the fact that these were defined characters having dialog with each other, actually portraying blocked dramatic scenes. And the Active Time Battle was mind-blowing. This was also one of my first tastes of SNES graphics. It suffices to say that this made a huge impression on me. Thank you, UCBVG, for covering this!

[@poughkeepsieblue]

This is the first FF I ever played. When i was 15 my girlfriend rented it, and i spent the weekend at her house, staying up all night to play and beat it before she had to return it. Good memories!

In fact, the issue with massive coverage of the game is still burned in my memory (complete with the really odd-looking art of the characters). I played the game so much back then that when I played the IOS version at my mom's house several years back, I heard her humming the Overworld theme. Looking forward to this video!

Final Fantasy II was not the first RPG I played. But it was the first that I loved and beat. I got it for Christmas 1992 after renting it through the year. It was the first non action game I beat and I loved Cecil and his friends. I cried when the twins turned to stone and I cheered when Cecil became a Paladin. It made my 1992 special and I had no idea what would come in the next game. Which would solidify my love of RPGs.

You forgot one small and curious detail with Edward. If Rydia or an enemy casts "Toad" on Edward, while on this status, with the "sing" command he can use the "Frog Song" which turns enemies into toads (with a 25% accuracy of course). Great job as usual.

Holy crap, I had NO idea. Nearly 35 years of playing this and I had no idea. Damn. haha

[@ScottBeck79]

I have literally never heard that which means I have to go try this now for myself!

[@ScottBeck79]

@@SirJoelsuf1 I know, right? I always expect to hear something from him that I didn't know if it's a game I played a ton in my early teens -- The Dragon Warrior games had quite a bit as well as the OG Final Fantasy. I read the comment section for tidbits like this though....who would've thought?!

[@GloryAlmighty]

[@crazyjohnt8012]

I couldn't push play on this fast enough. So happy to see you cover my favorite game ever

[@cowpuddles4851]

This was my favorite Super NES game. Thanks for the memories!

[@Tftapodcast]

This was my first Final Fantasy game when I was 8 and I loved it!

The US version of FF4 also took out some abilities from the party members. Cecil had a dark wave skill as Dark Knight that sacrificed hp in exchange for a non-elemental attack that hits all opponents on screen. Ironically, that made the brief part where Cecil is the lone member of the party harder in the US version, as he didn't have a good way to deal with multiple enemies, or the rare flan that would resist physical attacks.

[@danielwise2858]

[@ThePokkeli]

Think this was your best video to date. Kudos!

[@HunterPBrown]

Welcome back. It's go time!!!

[@SirJoelsuf1]

1:20:00 Cecil's not atoning for killing all those people in Mysidia, he's atoning for putting Rosa in the friend zone. Damn.

[@fiorellaormeno2487]

I’m so happy for this one. Absolutely one of my favorite games ever 😊
