Using Meteo to hurt Golbez proved only one thing: Golbez can be hurt. Gee whiz!

Also throw in the fact that until FFIVA, those who left the party left permanently, once you get Edge. Unlike FFV, FFIV doesn't get the luxury of having a cast where you can choose for them to do whatever they want. FFIV's cast had specific niches, and Tellah is easily replaced by the far superior and far sexier Rosa and Rydia, and the pedophile-licious Palom and Porom. Galuf's death just plain matters more than Tellah's.
Although, I will admit that it wasn't a series first. FFIIj did that well before FFV or FFIV. Hell, even FFIIIj lost Elia.
Yeah i guess they wanted to give Galuf's death some type of dignification. Note they say "major party member" or something along those lines to distinguish him from Tellah and all the deaths that happened in FFIIj.
This would be more interesting if the information in the videos wasn't common knowledge for anyone who's followed the series. Probably useful for non-fans and people who haven't gone back to play the earlier games but that's about it.
But that's a good thing, giving the previous games exposure to people who may have only played 7, 8, 9, 10, or 12, would do things such as boost sales for the 3D remakes that will be taking over the earlier games soon. Eventually the person who played the FF8 first that ended up playing 7, 9, 10, and 12, may want to buy the FFIV remake due to it's like awesome DS-ness, but seeing as it's not out yet, they may want to play the original and to have an overveiw of what they could expect gameplay sie. That would be their overveiw, and it could easily bring more fans.
Really... this brought a lot memories to me.
I got really touched, and I fell a tear, thats for sure.
Thanks for sharing

And I'm disgusted by anything that says that, for there exists no bigger lie in the universe. Oh well.I like anything that says FFVI has one of the best stories ever told in FF.
And how in the world did I miss these videos for so long??? 0_o
I liked the first episode. My first play with FF I was dawn of souls and a brief encounter with the NES ROM. So seeing the game in its original form in many different locations was good.
I wish episode two had been al about FF II and episode III all about FF III and so on, but oh well. I've played the II NES ROM a bit as well (until the mythril) so again seeing locations and events happening in original NES look is quite a joy.
I'm very positive about the FF III part (I'll take it on me to be the unofficial biggest FF III fan if needed). They at least admitted it's importance to the series and didn't make it seem like it's story was inferior to II's (which it isn't). Yes, very positive. But I think they should have paid attention to the music. FF III offered the first boss battle and final boss battle I believe and that deserves a mentionning I find. A small mistake was that summons have nothing to do with the story. Not really true. In the game it is stated that Magus Noah could summon even Leviathan and Bahamut, stating them as the most pwoerful summons. A small connection not really of importance, but a connection to the story nonetheless.
Then we come to FF IV (When i saw the timer I was WTF?! Barely 5 minutes for V???). I didn't like how they said that this game was the first to introduce Nobuo's musical genious. FF II and III already showed what he was capable of, even on a very limitted system. Otherwise no complaints here. I love hearing IV's SNES tunes, though. All other ports simply didn't capture that thing that makes IV's music so great (not as great as III's, though =p ).
V received a good bit of attention despite it gettin ga lot less time than IV, though. And I liked it. Again they didn't put down V's story in favor of IV's or VI. I didn't mind that they promoted Galuf's legendary death so much, though I agree with everybody who says that Tellah did his thing great too. As did Aria in FF III. =) No real complaints here. Except for the ending. My ears when I heard 'one of the best stories'. Sigh, should have known though. Alright, let's see what they have to say about the worst FF ever.
*Watches the episode*
*refuses to think different about VI but negatively, depsite the episode making me remember that there was a time that I loved this game as much as any other of the first six FFs*
No comment on the VI episode. I wish I wouldn't be such a stubborn, fanboyish ***. Oh well, looking forward to episode V.
My source just got me my copy of Part III yesterday and it was just as good as the other two.
I can't watch it until my source downloads the MP4 and gives me my CD, but I did notice that Part IV is up. I didn't want to deny those with faster connection the opportunity to see it just because I can't yet.
Watched pt. IV. To me this series so far has had great direction, and they really did VI justice with their choice of artwork, music, and scenes. Another strong point was the detail on how the technology was upgraded which I think has been a strength of this retrospective.
Unfortunately they took the cheap route praising this game as the "almighty FFVI", leaving out any criticism. Also I feel it was over the top to say that it made the previous FF's feel like they were made in anticipation to it, especially since it is arguable for some of the predecessors being better, V posing a considerably strong argument.
I just hope they do VII justice considering how much its influence has been downplayed over the yeras, and that there's a whole generation (maybe 2) of young gamers who are unaware of it.
I changed my download source back to my original source (which was my father as previously stated) because my other source was too slow. It wasn't until yesterday when I saw Part III because of how slow he was.
My father, on the other hand, had Part IV to me within eight hours of my requesting it, and I really enjoyed it. I have found this entire series so far to be very enjoyable. It's been entertaining and informative, but this last part was excellent. I hope they're able to follow it. I hope they can stay just as good, if not get better.
Great vids who made them you?

I'm already preferring GT's to this one.
I like it
makes me nostalgic and brings back so many good memories
sniffle...
I haven't watched part 4 yet (gotta wait until I get home) but I already know I'm not gonna truly agree with what's said about number 6. The game was excellent up until the Floating Continent incident at which point it became a boring level grind, much like a certain other even numbered title on the NES which I'm currently playing so I have an excuse not to play 12...
Heh, the scene with Elia was way too dramatic in the fan translation. So cheesy!

The guy who voices over it scares me...
EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.
