Here's part two.
Oh man, Final Fantasy III is just so great, even the NES version. :) That was quite a good summary of FFs II and III, although FFII was given a bit more attention than FFIII on that video.
That's because few people appreciate FFIIj's origins and options, and few of them followed through to future games, compared to FFIIIj, or FFI. However, it's usually the sequel that promotes the most popular things (Moogles, Chocobo, Cid, Airship). imo, FFIIIj was far more of a radical game (not that it's a bad thing, I love FFIIIj) than people give it credit for, as opposed to FFIIj, which many players consider to be the black sheep, or the worst.
That generosity can only be instilled upon FFX-2.
Not too bad, pretty decently summed up.
That was great seeing FFIII like that. I just wish that they had sended an earlier version to play that looked so great.
As I've stated at least 10,000 times across this forum, I'm on dialup. However, this looked too great to pass up. I copied the links, Emailed them to my father, had him download the MP4 versions burn them to a CD ROM and bring them to my house. Yeah, I could have gone to him, but he had to pick up some of his stuff from my house anyway. So, I copied the files from the disc to my computer and put them on my iPod and watched them on my HDTV. I know. It sounds way too complicated, but I guarantee you, it would have taken a lot longer to download or stream the files myself.
And since I've been able to watch them, I have enjoyed them. I realize I'm the last person on this forum to watch them, but I finally did. I found them both entertaining and informative. I was shocked to find out I was pronouncing Nobuo Uematsu's name wrong this whole time. (I pronounced it NO bo yu MAHT su.)
But yeah. I can't wait for the next intallment. This series is going to be really hard on my father.
And you know what? It actually looks pretty good on my TV for an internet video. I think these are the best quality videos I have on my iPod.
What? No MP4 download? I was hoping to watch the whole series. Guess I can only see the first two.
I think the downloads came from another source meaning there may be one soon.
In the legend of zelda perspective (which was done by the same guy) the downloads often came about a day or so after the episode was released.
I'm not sure why though maybe it's because they have to change the format. :)
Square published an FF retrospective video on the XII Collectors Edition DVD that was sold in US. I posted it in youtube on 4 parts.
YouTube - History of Final Fantasy - FF X to XIII
YouTube - History of Final Fantasy - FF VII to IX
YouTube - History of Final Fantasy - FF IV to VI
YouTube - History of Final Fantasy - FF I to III
The Quicktime and Windows Media downloads are there. The MP4 is missing. I need the MP4 because that's the one that plays on my iPod and that's the format in which I got the other two. Besides, it's the smallest and I'm having someone else do my downloading. I'm so disappointed. I wish there was a way for me to contact the author.
I think all thats needed to do is reload it in a different file type.
I needed it to so if one dosen't come out I might nick my brothers computer for a while and change it into an mp4 format.
Of course I'll need the authors permission but if he says yes I could do it.
Only problem is It will be a slightly lower quality but as long as I get permission it will hopefully work.
I'll get back to you if he e-mails me back. :)
So far so good, I was amazed to see them bring up "Sword of Vermillion" that was the first RPG I ever played.
Although I'm worried it's starting to get like the XII retrospectives, basically saying "this game was about that; it had these characters; it had these vehicles; cid did this" and then move on to the next one. I liked this one's 1st so much because it compared FFI to its contemporaries and noted the influences and implications of the game, which I feel they didn't do for 3-5.
Although the next one looks really great and i can't wait to see what they say about VI.
I like how they talk about one of Galuf's noble deeds in glowing terms as a "series first" while completely overlooking Tellah.
