I'm sure we all remember that hilarious FF VIII review, which ended after a good 11 or so parts, making it basically a 5 hour rant about the game.
Well now is back, going after a game he claims worse then VIII.
The real question is, why am I building up the suspense for this? It's not like you don't know what game I'm talking about given the forum and all.
I give you the first part of The FF X review.
hehe....well done. Though I love this game, he nails everything undesirable about it.
I hate the game so I'm having a blast watching this!
His FFVIII reviews ventured into various levels of stupid at some points (complaining about the abstractness of junctioning and those lengthy Dr Insano bits) but he is very entertaining. There are times when he's just being funny and there are times when he hates the game so much he just seethes, which is when he is at his best.
Watching some of those X clips makes me wonder how I was able to play through this game twice (three years apart, mind you). "Crews of... huh?" Is Tidus 6-years-old? Is the audience 6-years-old? God this game smurfing sucks.
Omg thank you SOOOOO much for this, i'd completely forgotten about all this... the VIII reviews he did were some of the funniest things i've ever seen lol, gonna be watching this as soon as i get home later :)
Edit: Also, X is one of my favourite games in the series, so this should be interesting to see what he says about it :p
Wow..."hilarious" truly is a subjective feeling.
This is cringingly anti-funny to me.

OMG, laughing so hard I'm in tears :p
I'm the biggest FFX fan ever but he managed to catch all it's flaws in such a funny way :D
PS: Love how he named his Tidus "Meg Ryan" :love:
Although I love FFVIII (even Triple Triad!) and like FFX a lot, he does raise some valid points. Yes, Tidus is a doofus, but a basically a likeable one. The character designs are way over the top, but I still find them some of my favorite characters in terms of personality and interactions.
I would be interested to see what he makes of FFX-2.
Favorite moment was Tidus telling Wakka where he's from, not four minutes after Rikku tells him not to.

I understand his general opinion, given the horrified reaction he shows to the opening cinematic; but I'd be interested to hear him rant at length about it.
He might actually like it better than FFX, given his hatred of Tidus. But I doubt it.
His reviews are always the best. Even when I like those games, someone needs to say these things. :p
I'm glad he finally talked a bit about IX. I'm on his forum and ever since he said he hated 8 but 10 was even worse, people have been making threads asking what he thought of 9.
I can get him not liking the art style but he acknowledges the game is probably good. Spoony is so awesome.
Actually, he only acknowledges that he never played past two hours of the game, because he hated animated furries. xDQuote:

I was looking for a thread on this before I made my own. Can't believe I missed it.
Anyway, his points are awesome, but I wonder how he expects to pass this off as worse then FFVIII. His review has already painting it better than FFVIII, because he admits FFX has an incredible battle system, something that FFVIII lacked.
I think his argument for X being worse is...Tidus.
And it is kind of hard to argue with that.
Unless you really like the other characters, story, world and so-on. (which I do).
Tidus being terrible is balanced by Auron being so dang awesome. Even Spoony, who hates the game, admits how much sheer awesomeness Auron is. :)
He says a number of positive things about X. So far his only real complaints are predictable plot twists (i didn't think so) and Tidus who to be fair ruined the smurf out of an otherwise great game.Quote:

Wow that was hilarious. The potion suitcase had me crackin' up. Oh and "so Wakka takes Tidus back to the village to get a hit of his Blitz Bong." lol I'm so naming one of mine Blitz Bong.
In classic Spoony fashion, it's taken him over a month to come up with the next one. I predict he'll be finished in about 2 years.
What next one?
"To be continued" shows up at the end of the video. His most probably going to do 3-6 parts inbetween other videos like he did with VIII and eventually go on to X-2 im sure:)Quote:

I loved his comments on Seymores design. :p
I think he went kinda easy on the laughing scene :spin:
His description of Anima is priceless. As is the cut he makes to Seymour after observing that his banquet table has a lot of fruits.
He has a beautiful singing voice.
Also having Rikku join the party to "pee in her butt" is the most realistic reason for a character to join the party in FF history.
That was awesome. Of course, my favorite bits were the parts where he blasted Seymour.
So many of his points are completely valid, yet I still like the game overall.
Edit: Oh, yes. And Maechen's awesomeness is explained in X-2, where you not only learn that his is an unsent (which kind of sucks, even if it was predictable, since it would be nice to have at least one recurring character who is still alive), but he is also an awesome Black Mage, as his sphere serves as the basis for the Black Mage dress sphere.
"He did the impossible! He out stupid-ed Wakka's hair!"
LMAO
Latest one just went up. The part where he talks about the alarm in the Al-Bhed base is hilarious xD
xD
I've always wondered what that alarm was saying. Trust Spoony to find something humourous in it.
Happy... festival... fireworks!?!?
No need to be sad about Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is now just your very own waterpark.
Look on the bright side of life indeed.
