    I don't care what any of you say, Chocobo Racing rocked. And Mystic Quest's battle themes were amazing.

    I humbly ask everyone who cares about new episodes to watch for Part XI (which is late, by the way), because I don't want to be the only one posting new episodes. It makes me feel like I'm the only one left who cares.

    I believe that it's drowned out now because of the fact that watching the old games really brings back nostalgia for those who know about it. To those who have not followed the series to date, they can say "ohh yeah, I remember that, those were great times." To the uninformed, this is a large lesson in history.

    As you approach more modern times (games, to be precise), not only do you lose the interest of those who don't care about the series up to this point, it serves nothing more than to say "you are here." To those who haven't played the old games, it's simply taken for granted.

    I probably fall into the category of the oldbie fan. I hate the direction that the games have taken. The only reason I actually remembered about this was because it is going to feature the KH series.

    In a way, it kind of reflects the current gaming constituency, no?

    Oh, I'll be sure to care for the next episode, for it'll feature Final Fantasy III DS!

    This episode was great for me, cause I've never known that much about Saga, Crystal Chronicles or Kingdom Hearts. Crystal Chronicles looks better than I had expected, but then again, looks can be deceiving.

    Most of all looking forward to the next episode though. Should be interesting to hear what they have to say about all the ports but most importantly about FF III DS (duh), since I consider GT's review of III DS the best review of that game in existence. Yes, I'm curious...

    And part XII is up. Now gonna watch...

    EDIT: *FF III fanboy mode on* Well it was a good episode though more focus on III DS woudl have been in place *FF III fanboy mode off*
    Really though, it was good, but there have been better episodes. This one seemed to go on and on about languages and translations. I know that's most of the time the most important part of a port/remake, the new translation, but still... I felt it lacked something.

    I'm wondering how the final episode will turn out. This certainly was an interesting series to watch. Better than the retrospective that came with XII (which I've watched on youtube), IMO.

    Did you all see Steiner saving the day at the end there?


    Watch and learn guys. Watch and learn.

    It was interesting.

    The final episode is up

    Well, you can't hate on anything just because of specific flaws, so I have to say this was overall a good series, and i can say that I even picked up on a few things.

    The only things I could really point out is that they overlooked the importance of the crystal in VIII and XII and Hiromichi Tanaka is probably the most underappreciated contributor to the creation of Final Fantasy.

    That was really the best episode. I loved everything of it.
    I also liked, when reviewing the villains, they admitted Xande was the first villain in the series to have a more developped motive. =P Then again, Gametrailers always had the best review of FF III, IMHO.

    Great series all in all, I fully enjoyed it. I liked how they said "The only thing Final about Final Fantasy is its past". But how true is that when the past gets remade again and again, and now even jumps to 3D?

    That final one actually made me feel a bit sad just looking back at all of them at once, all the characters, vehicles locations, sidequests that ive been to and done over the years:rolleyes2
    Final Fantasy has gave so many people endless entertainment seeing that makes want to play through all of them again right from the start

    If I was like Cloud I don't think I would have taken that test.
    Changed to stop Jessweeee♪ from going insane. Is that better?
