Final Fantasy Retrospective

[The Ceej]

Part VIII is up.

Even in HD, if you have a connection fast enough to watch or download this version.

Time to contact my source and have him download it for me.

Woah, wait a second! All Ivalice games in one episode? Either that's gonna be a long episode or a rushed one.

That aside, I liked this episode, since I don't know a thing about XI. What they showed looked good. I wish I could play XI, but I'm just not a multiplayer person. It still looks like a fine game though.

[Hazzard]

I agree with Elpizo. Before I was narrow minded, and was easily swayed by what others said about XI, but the video done a great job of highlighting the most appealing parts of the game; keeping me gripped for the whole video.

I love all the retrospective's, i really do think Square dragged XI out though with all those expansion packs!! :mog:

[Evastio]

Wow. This is so awesome. The video is perfect for people who haven't played some of the FF Games and want to know what they're missing out on.

at first I would have to agree but I think it would be a good way to chronicle the bringing in of the Ogre Battle team to Square Enix, putting them under Hiroyuki Ito and making some awesome games.

edit:

I just watched the one on XI. I wanted to wait til I get a PS3 to get this game since sony released that update, but damn this one really made me want to play it. it really looks like it has a cool story, music, and character designs. Definately the most unreasonably hated FF, they said it was because of level grinding, i'm pretty sure it's more b/c people don't want to pay continuously for a game they usually spend a whole lot of time on anyway.

Part IX is really late. Like almost a week by now. Update soon.

[The Ceej]

Sorry about the double post, but this is one of those few times when it's necessary. See, because this is big news and if I just edited my last post, no one would know it. Besides, my last post is like a week old.

Part IX is up now. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an MP4 download. If someone can tell me when it's available as an MP4 download, so I can tell my source to download that for me, that'd be great. Thanks.

Oh, and it's about damned time.

[Elpizo]

I didn't really find much flaws with this episode, aside from perhaps the fact that each of those games deserved perhaps a bit more attention.

Regardless, good episode without stupid fan-complaints (like FFTA being too kiddy or XII having the worst story in the series ever).

Next episode should be interesting. Looking forward to Chocobo Tales, it was a surprisingly fun and addictive game that I enjoyed playing. Even the story drew me in. 0_o

The only problem I saw is that while talking about how they're connected they misjudged the Totema as a "new" introduction of summoned monsters while they and the Espers go back to FFT as the Lucavi. They also didn't even acknowledge what FFT's plot was actually about, something much bigger than the Lion War and then something even bigger than the Glabados conspiracy.

Furthermore, the developers have confirmed the order, in the ultimania omega, that FFXII is far in the past to FFT and that XII is the game that Mewt based his world on.

So part X is going to be on both the spinoffs and the movies... It makes me wonder what the remaining 3 episodes are going to be about, as XIII and Versus is about as far as they can get. It'll be cool to find out.

[Elpizo]

Maybe they'll talk about the remakes, like Finest Fanatsy for Advance or so.

Or maybe FF III DS gets an episode of its own.
Okay, wishful thinking on my part...

[Hazzard]

I found a glitch; they forgot to mention Vossler as one of the guest characters in XII, but instead put forward Judge Gabranth as a guest, which is entirely incorrect.

[The Ceej]

Wow. No one else is watching this. Part X is up. Time to contact my source again.

[Elpizo]

I found a glitch; they forgot to mention Vossler as one of the guest characters in XII, but instead put forward Judge Gabranth as a guest, which is entirely incorrect.

Not entirely. Gabranth was a 'guest' during the second form of the Final Boss of XII.

Part X was one of least favourite ones to be honest. I didn't really learn anything from it aside from 'this is this spinof and it came/did not came outside of Japan'. Not enough focus on the games, I feel. This episode could easily have been split into the TV things and the games.

Still, not that bad, but could have been better. Next episode is Kingdom Hearts, I guess, but I wonder what episode XIII will be like. Maybe a preview of the future?

[Bolivar]

It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Actually, it was pretty damn good. I always brushed off the first seiken densetsu and mystic quest but they look kinda interesting. Might have to get that GBA remake and get a new rom.

I still feel so bad for the spirits within. Damn that just bombed. I'm wondering if they left the FF name off of it if it actually would have done BETTER. Then maybe everyone would have been like "WOAH, what's this crazy new movie!???", living off all that matrix hype at the time. i don't know.
