I'm glad I not the only one to have noticed this. I can't remember any other video being re-uploaded, for what ever reason, this many times.

@@nanoglitch6693 thank you for your service!

[@DontStopCornPop]

​@Xygor Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. I just beat FFV recently and it was very emotional moment for me. I started the game when I was 12 but never beat it back then, even though I played for hours. Now as a 37 year old, I finally closed the chapter on this game and I felt overwhelmed with sadness, pride and nostalgia all at once.

[@MondoJohnny]

I've played all these games a million times but I love your story retellings Xygor! You do a great job with these man!

[@Xygor]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much!

[@Forritouno]

I love this game to death. My favorite moments are probably all the funny antics Galuf pulls throughout the story.

[@Xygor]

Right on, he’s a zany character isn’t he?

[@usmc9807]

Was JUST playing Crono Trigger (and getting absolutely wrecked by Magus) and I recognized your intro music. Epic.

[@GMSeth]

Sadly, my favorite moment is an optional scene that is incredibly easy to miss but is great fun nonetheless. When you arrive in the first town after Faris agrees to help you can go to the inn with Bartz and Galuf to the room where Faris is staying and see a hilarious cutscene. This short but funny moment is foreshadowing for the reveal that Faris is a woman.

[@Zanji1234]

the second game i played as a ROM on ZNES back then with a dictonary since my english wasn't that good as i thought :D

[@Xygor]

Yes! The ZSNES days.

[@Zanji1234]

:D tbf the one Emulator i still use. Also i had a 56k modem back then so that download took a few hours and then few days later i downloaded FF6 and BOY that took forever. @@Xygor

[@zrayburton]

As of 2023 I’ve only ever beaten FF 4 & 6 and played parts of 7 & 9 before. This year I’ve decided to play some others and I have since beaten 1 and I am in the middle of 5 now. I’m Glad I decided on 5 for my current play through as it’s getting a lot of solid coverage and reviews on KZbin lately. Enjoying the gameplay and job system a ton and the generally light/linear story opposed to 4 and 6’s more complicated plot points and cast of characters.

[@Xygor]

Right on, glad you want to try it! You'll really like the job system. Lots of fun customization.

[@thomashernandez6536]

The loading times for 9 kill me. However that said, it is still my favorite final fantasy.

[@nanoglitch6693]

I watched it but I'm still here Groundhog's Daying! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Xygor]

Haha, thank you! This should be the last one.

[@Crescent_Audio]

Thank you Xygor for your tireless work, you’ve single-handedly gotten me to check out every single other FF game besides the original 7, and I’m a huge fan of the classic SNES titles now. I owned FF3 on SNES back in the day because everyone said it was a game to own, but I never actually played it until til now. Thank you, you can upload this video as many times as you need to my dude.

[@Xygor]

Thanks so much! I'm glad I could help encourage you. This one is really good!

[@BPTNY]

Great work. Sometimes this sort of thing is what it takes. I enjoyed FF5 (especially the music) but it solidified that the even numbers are story and the odd numbers are gameplay for me in the NES/SNES eras. This was my little brother's favorite one back on the PS1 though.

[@Xygor]

Thanks for your support! The story/gameplay thing kind of rings true!

[@duhmez]

This is actually, factually the best Final Fantasy game. Most people don't know that around these parts because of not released here. It is all int he job system why this is the best one. And FF3 on Famicom is the best 8bit one, similar job system. It sucked we did not tget this job system over here ever, except lond of FF tactics but that doesn't count.

[@Xygor]

Glad you like it so much! The job system makes it so fun and customizable. I agree that FF3 is the best 8-bit one also.

[@kcsalyer19]

[@sikhjatt23]

howdy sir! i know this is an ffv vid but i was curious if youll be making a story vid for ff7 rebirth? i loved the one you made for remake! Great job with this one, as always!

[@jaykknight2248]

I think this game has one of the better plots in the series. It is without a doubt my favorite game in the series. While many scenes are memorable and there is a theme of sacrifice thoughout, it's Syldra's scene that probably impacts me the most. I feel such a kinship with Faris.

[@ZmQuad]

awesome video. Ty for making this and sharing

[@Xygor]

Thanks for watching it! Do you have any favorite moments from the game?

[@ZmQuad]

@@Xygor I don’t. Played all of the numbered final fantasies through 11, and of all of them, 5 is the least memorable. Not because it’s a bad game or badly constructed, but I only played it once as opposed to many of the others I have played multiple times . I think, however after watching your video, I’m going to play it through again. Will have an update?

[@ZmQuad]

No ? At the end …. Meant a !

Are you also going to do retrospectives of kingdom hearts games and persona and yakuza if so when and will you also do final Fantasy vii viir viirpart 2 vii doc vii cc ix x x-2 xv and xvi?!

[@remiwithoutfamily]

Having played FF6 before, I remember FFV as being a bit... shallow, story, music and graphics wise. I was pretty young mind you, so it scratched my RPG itch for a bit. The job system was brand new to me, and I absolutely loved it. But yea, coming from the masterpiece that is FF6, I found FF5 to be, well, really not as good.

[@Xygor]

Yeah, I think it's a fair point that the story just isn't as interesting as 6. But the gameplay is arguably better. So I'm totally on board with your thoughts.

Ignore the naysayers, do what you gotta do. I know how frustrating it can be when you upload a video and then notice something that you can't fix with YT's built-in editor.
