Video Game Memories: 2 Funny stories from my old Final Fantasy games

[@WolfmanXD]

"I have no impulse control and can't not open a chest." DM- mimics, mimics everywhere!

[@philswaim392]

I feel like there was a ff where like most of the chests were enemies rather than treasure. I think it was ff ii or ff iv. And i basically never opened chests and came back later for treasure if i could remember.

[@lem2004]

Dark Souls: open chest, meet mimic with the legs of a 5 time NBA champion

[@AxiomofDiscord]

I think dragon needs to be in verb form Puffin: Open Chest, Get Dragonned.

[@Jamerific]

I don't think not opening the chest is the problem, but rather taking a year off each time you try again.

[@rifter0x0000]

I totally understand why he did that. I have lots of games where it's been years since I played. Sometimes it's boredom, sometimes frustration, sometimes something else, but it happens. What may not be obvious in the story is the save he was coming from was probably a long slog from where he ended up, so he lost maybe a whole dungeon's worth of progress each time, was tired from hours of random encounters at every step, and didn't come back. Incidentally, in any Final Fantasy game or anything with save points, if I see a save point my instinct is to immediately save there before doing anything else. FF1 had some huge fights from chests early on in the game, incidentally. I don't recall if there were dragons in chests, but there were definitely some you'd hit if you stepped on the square next to a chest

[@Avalon_Snowfall]

he said there was a save point right before it and that he saved at it

[@airiakizuki5592]

He could have been lvl 99 years ago.

[@KickyFut]

What I don't get is why, after the second time he opened the chest and got Dragon raped, didn't he just write a quick note to himself and toss it on top of the game disk? I do that all the time, just scrawl on some random scrap: *Don't touch the chest by the savepoint!!!* 🐲 grawr, etc.

[@jeffbangle4710]

This works in tabletop games as well. My players normally are very dutiful about checking for possible traps everywhere. However, my villain ducks down a secret passage with just a sliver of health remaining. The party chases after him, and notices a richly-engraved chest in the escape tunnel. With the villain's footsteps fading into the distance, there's no time to check for traps, so they fling the chest open... Mu-ha-ha-ha....

[@valentine9363]

They never see it coming, do they. (On an unrelated note, what's your profile picture? I recognize it from something and I'm dying to remember what.)

He does. It's arguably the best magicite in the entire game. It's a tough fight, tho.

You die, you reload and remember not to do that. Pretty standard practice for any game and genre. And as to those that do do ironman, no save, blind first run through old SNES games...(there's literally dozens) well they are hoping to run into fun stuff like this and would just restart their run and know not to do it again as well.

[@Xfushion2]

@@cyanhb9689 Except in the dragon situation there's no reason not to reload, the save point is literally next to the chest and he said he doesn't want to fight the dragon. ¿So what's the cons of not reloading and skipping that fight? you'll lose neither progress or levels. The first example is understandable, maybe he been grinding for hours without a save and when he got cursed decided it was worth it trying to find a cure than reloading and re-grind for hours.

[@aroventalmav888]

I actually never beat 7 for similar reasons, sort of. So I'm playing the endgame, putting off the final dungeon to power-breed to golden chocobos. I do that in a few hours, grab the super summon materia you can only get with said chocobos. Then I get the brilliant idea to test it out on the optional bosses still kicking around, a flying dragon type thing and an underwater monstrosity. The dragon goes down like wet paper. The other guy, not so much. My ambivalence to dying turned into impotent rage and misery when I realized my last save predated the chocobo racing binge. So in my timeline, sephiroth won because cloud threw himself off the golden saucer.

[@danielevans7439]

I had a similar story to #1. I leveled up my evasion to no end, but I never leveled my hit points, defense, or magic defense. It was great at first, but I eventually encountered magic users. They would one-hit kill me every time they cast a spell. No way to level up hit points if you die, and weaker monsters couldn’t hit me, so I had no choice but to start my game over. This happened on the PS1 version, of anybody’s wondering.

I don't knowbif he reads comments, but I'm really happy I subscribed to Puffin. His stories are comical and intriguing to the point where I would loved to binge watch them.

[@tmage23]

Final Fantasy XII has a thing where the best weapon in the game is only unlocked if you avoid opening certain chests. I know which chests they are but despite having played and beat the game multiple times, I always end up opening those chests. It's a pathological need for instant gratification.

[@tobiasskorupa1649]

I never open a chest without thinking 'it's a trap', even if it's not possible in the game. I look at the chest to check if it's a trap, then maybe attack it, if the place screams mimic and then I finally open the chest. That's how I open chests in most games. If I know the chests are safe in game X, I won't check. I hate mimic or trapped chests, but they aren't fooling me anymore :D

[@thenotreallyfunnyguy]

Luckily it was changed after the first relase.

[@angelemmanuelperezmuniz1474]

Tobias Skorupa I always check for wires in Skyrim and hit first and open later the chests in Boktai. In other games they always fool me.

[@TheBrothergreen]

I always loved trapped chests. 80-90% of the time, the thing in the chest was a potion or pheonix down, or some other thing that I'll never use because it's a turn based game and I could be attacking! J/K... but seriously. Mimics are worth teh XP and XP is great because if you are overleveled, you won't need to waste time playing "strategically" and whatnot. # mash X FTW!

It is the treasure. You have to beat all the Dragons (this being one of a set) in the game to receive one of the most powerful Magicites in the game (these teach you magic as well as confer permanent stat bonuses to characters when they level up while the Magicite is equipped). :D 30% more HP every single level is its bonus. I think it teaches like Flare and a bunch of other powerful moves. The Dragon in the chest IS the treasure :D It helps you get the best stuff in the game.

You have to actually RUN INTO THE DRAGON after it escapes the chest. You open the chest, it pops out, has a flying pattern around the room. Plus, on the SNES, it's easy to beat. Vanish+X Zone. Instantly kills any and everything in the game except the final boss. Two spells you can obtain early and easily. Vanish makes a spell hit 100% of the time. X Zone instantly kills anything it hits.

[@clarkb2697]

I loved 9 as well but I still think 6 is better

[@zidanewaterflower]

The heck you said about 9? Don't make me get my friends...

[@hardwirecars]

9 was good 10 uhhhhh no...

[@MarginalSC]

9's such a regressive slap in the face. You go from a realistic, identifiable protagonist to Goku with a bow tie and a dishwater drab final boss. X was great too. It was Tidus' story.

SonOfLethal storm dragon isn't that bad

[@dukedarkwood2098]

Ohhh, the Storm Dragon! Here I was thinking he meant 'final dungeon' and was confusing 6 with 5 and talking about Shinryu this whole time. (Also, I habitually do all the sidequests in World of Ruin and am generally overpowered by endgame.) You think Storm Dragon is bad? Shinryu will WRECK you. He's more than an optional boss. He's one of the original Optional Superbosses in gaming.

[@lamb6987]

Duke Darkwood Idk if he's as bad as omega weapon in ff5

[@dukedarkwood2098]

They're both entirely brutal. Without a ton of preparation, even experienced parties stand little chance.

best one

[@557deadpool]

The only good ones were 4, 6, 9, and 12

[@LugeoOrbis]

@@jeffmurphy8283 I think 7 was amazing but that people tend to forget that part of its magic was in the time that it was created. It's hard to look at that game the same way now that we have all of these other modern choices. It's just hard for a modern day audience to emotionally connect with the characters when modern day games have more polygons in a single eye than they had in their entire character model. It would be like if the avengers movies were made today with 80s cgi.

[@gnarlestongnu637]

My favorite description of DnD humans (by a goblin) was, "...that humans are incredible creatures because if you give them a box, they will open it, no matter what. A dwarf will examine it, an elf will judge it, but the human's curiosity will always win out. No matter what the context, or the danger, even if they know something bad is inside, a human will desperately wish to open the box, even if it dooms them. If you want to spring a trap on a human, put it in a box."

[@Dark_Tale_2077]

I have fond memories of 2 and 7. But 12 will always be my favorite. Loved the characters, loved the world it took place in and the gameplay was really interesting at the time. I even bought the DS sequel that have more Tactics feel to it. Too bad I never see anyone talk about them.

[@ridleysisland8665]

6 is my favorite. And that dragon is easy once you learn how to fight it XD

[@Grimpo96]

Final Fantasy 2 will always be my favorite

[@hugofontes5708]

xXTobiMonsterXx how do you enjoy it? I really wanted to but I just couldn't figure how.

[@Grimpo96]

Hugo Fontes well, it was my first Final Fantasy game. It was the two pack gameboy cartridge. When I first begun to favor it was when I realized each of the characters were not limited to their basic roles. Guy could be a mage, Purple hair could be an ace wielded, etc.. I also just ignored the level up system and just played the game for the story. I never finished it though XD still working on that now

[@hugofontes5708]

oh, that is a very valid reason to love it, I hope it stays so for you I just can't get myself through it, though. The level system... and the encounters... I was interested in the story as far as I got though but nope, I can't actually play it :/

[@Grimpo96]

Hugo Fontes I understand everyone’s reasons for not liking it. I just personally can’t find myself to dislike it. I see it’s faults and I’ve just embraced it. Thank you for taking the time to inquire.

[@muder0989]

GrimPokemon you have good tastes in final fantasy (no trolling I love that game too dude!)

[@JadenKortana]

I am a fan of 9 and 10

[@Joey64YT]

You've been getting a lot of subs recently dude! Keep it up!

[@jamesbiggs8397]

IX has had, at the very least, a resurgence. X will always be a personal fave, I love the sphere grid even if I can't find any freaking LvL 3 Keys but have LvL 4s in a abundance, and I ADORE being able to tag in Party Members in the middle of a fight because it's so much easier to keep them relatively even level even if it means I start every encounter with Riku using Hastega.

[@lanceknightmare]

Final Fantasy 6 is the only numbered Final Fantasy for consoles I have not beaten. I couldn't figure out how to get past this one point. Even using online tips couldn't unstick me. I remember fighting a few bosses in that place. There was monster which had been around since the beginning of creation. Sitting on top of a save point. There was an angel of some sort. Which could confuse your party members. Then there was a demon. I killed all of these. Though it was slow. Because your party members all have to be decently leveled. It was the maze which stopped me from completing the game. Not the difficulty of the bosses. Though I have to admit. Those are some above average bosses for any rpg.

[@LashNSmash]

Well Ben, I like them all, now you have met that person

[@guruthosamarthruin4459]

I liked them all...until 11 happened, and they started changing the entire genre of the games... It eventually got so bad that I didn't even buy 13-3 or 15 (normal mainline games, not MMOs). 7R finally looks like they're fixing the main problem.

[@nicolascorna1342]

I like all of them including x - x2, XII, "XIII"(most of the people hate). Every FF is another game, world, character so I dont think on comparing each other. I just try to enjoy 1 by 1 as the awesome game they are

[@scarecrow0774]

Final fantasy 10 was my absolute favorite. 7 was second favorite, and I know I'm way in the minority here.. but I also loved 10x2. Maybe it was the ending with titus, but it was the best ending I've ever seen. Ever.

[@TexMeta]

I really want to beat those games, I love the story, and my best friend used the music as his wedding music. I just can't bring myself to grind enough to win. :( But I really want to rebuy them(for like the 5th time) and do it.

[@curtiswilkerson8489]

@@TexMeta if you can get x/x-2 hd remaster on nintendo switch. You can have access to monater arena and other fun stuff to make grinding ap easier. And with a LOT of luck and some generous rng you can get the mascot dresssphere from the arena.

[@freman007]

8 was the last one before they started including ridiculous challenges, like having to almost complete the game in 12 hours to get Excalibur II in 9. 8 also had the best love story, and Eyes on Me is a beautiful piece of music.

[@theryuyami]

what's funny about hearing this story is that one of my favorite types of monsters are mimics.

[@JosephFuller]

One of my most favorite RPG's ever is Earth Bound or Mother2. I just love everything about it. I wish there were something 3D that captured the same charm and with just as engaging a story. Or if the SNES version was remade with updated graphics or something.

[@starscorpia4005]

My favorite was 12, it had so much to do so i spent over 200 hours in it.

[@alex1carm]

For the record I really enjoyed FF9 it has an amazing story and by far the most diverse character set but i understand it got heavily overlooked as a game in general as FF7 was a huge hit, FF8 let down a lot of FF7 fans and FF7 became priceless at the time FF9 came out. FF10 then released ages later with next gen graphics and so poor little FF9 fell into the shadows with even die hard Final Fantasy players not even picking it up but hey maybe people just didn't like it i don't know i thought it was good.

[@aidanjackson5084]

The self-inflicted wounds from FF2 sounds similar to the thrown-stones strategy I heard about for Tactics. Also, only ever played X, X-2, and XII (only ever beat X), and X is kind of a favorite for me.

[@jaredcastro579]

The funniest thing for me with FF was in IX, my best friend was fighting a boss and it took him almost an hour to defeat it... I loaded up my own save, right before the same boss, and K.O.ed it in one turn. My almighty attack? A Phoenix Down. My friend raged so hard how I did not tell him about it and how he spent almost an hour fighting the same boss. My reply was that he never asked me for help. He shut up when I said that and shrugged and said "Fair enough."

[@MediHusky]

5 and 9 are the best...

[@bouledeglace4180]

[@lanceknightmare]

There were no bad numbered Final Fantasy games. I played Final Fantasy 1-9, x, x-2, 12, 13, 13-2, Lightning Returns, Tactics, Tactics Advanced. My personal favorites were 13-2, 8, then 7 in that order. While this treasure chest is cheap. There is one other battle which is cheaper. At the end of x-2 you sometimes run into Tiamat instead of the final boss. Tiamat is in another class compared to Vegnagun.

[@BRBingeDrinker]

Nicholas Houzenga 10-2, 12, and 15 are garbage games. 10 and 7 are super over rated, both 13 and 13-2 are mediocre at best, and 8/9 are definitely the best games.

[@Phnxkon]

Did you call 13 a game? You make almost no decisions and you're railroaded in a hallway with no towns

[@worldcolonyinitiativ]

@@Phnxkon eh, yeah XIII is the rpg equivalent of a walking simulator... which now that i think about it; is really just a dungeon crawler. Maybe under the idea that is basically a totally different genre until like the very end it might be pretty good for that genre, it just should have been sold more clearly as that. [Probably by not making it a FF game to begin with but each title is experimental.] (for those wondering the game opens up crazy amounts compared to the way it started out, but unless you want to stop the story completely for the next i dunno hundred hours or so you cant really get a grip on it. its far too little {or maybe to much?} to late.)

[@lowpinglag]

Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite, the story is so good and each character have their own arc. The Black Mage Vivi quite possible have the greatest story of all Final Fantasy characters.

[@theempressbunny]

I've played a great deal of old school FF. This may not be good for Ben's health, but if you defeat the monster in a box you actually DO get treasure. So uhh. Good luck, Ben.

[@Crystal_Dylan]

0:30 honestly I think Final fantasy 9 gets more love nowadays than before. Final fantasy 10 is my favorite since it’s story resonates with me more but I understand it’s not as beloved as it probably should be.
