    Heh, the scene with Elia was way too dramatic in the fan translation. So cheesy!
    The DS version was incredible... So sad, even though she's in for so little for the game, I still felt so sad. Man, I wanted to hang Kraken with his own tentacles. That scene was truly wonderfully made in the DS version, finally taking Galuf's scene's first place (at least for me).

    No, that Elia chick dieing done nothing for me, Luneth's reaction was totally over-the-top and cheesy. He only knew her for like half a day, and next minute he's all getting emotional, nobody done that when Desch died - now that was sad...but he really weren't dead anyway.

    I'm glad Kraken killed the girl.

    New part: Gimme an F! Gimme an I! Gimme a V! Gimme an E! Gee, that's short.

    I like them mentioning Spielberg's quote about how a video game will be as good as a movie when people cry at level 17. For the record Spielberg, not a single one of your movies ever made me cry. Ponce.

    When you're glad somebody good dies, there's something wrong with you. Especially if it's Aria.

    But oh well, I know the feeling. Can't say I was sad when Jenova rammed that piece of steel through Aeris. Guess there's something wrong with me as well.

    And personally I think Luneth and co knew her longer than that. We of course don't know how fast an airship flies, but I don't think they can go all around the globe in half a day, not even with the Nautilus.

    And Desch, he said he was going to repare the tower so the floating continent would stay in the air. Jumping in some lava is not going to fix anything. He needed to be alive if he wanted to fix anything. And seeing as the FC remained in the air, I never believed he was dead anyway. He was too cool for that. Cool guys never die, like Balthier said. Well, there was Zack but...

    Part V was good. I got the impression of it that they didn't praise FF VII as the best thing since sliced bread. But they were right, it is one of the most popular RPGs of all time, if it deserves it or not. And where the heck was Advent Children?

    I'm not glad with VIII and IX being in one episode, though.

    I had never seen the Amano artwork for VII. it was all really good.

    So far they haven't really been that biased, which is a really good thing. I would say VI and VII received some partiality but they got just as much exposure as FFI.

    I was wondering about that too.

    I think the reason they're putting VIII and IX in the same video is to compare how different they were in their intentions; one to bring the series to a more realistic and detailed level, the other to bring the series back to its roots.

    Maybe it's not there because it wasn't a game? Seems fairly odd to omit it.

    VIII and IX being in the same episode just ain't my cup of tea; they uncomprehendingly give VII some personal limelight, unlike the res of them and can't let VIII and IX share the heat. Dang, that's unfair, I hope they don't restrict XII to 6.30 minutes.

    It was good though, the episode, lol.

    FFVII didn't really get an episode to itself. They also summarized the Compilation of FFVII at the same time (although, as others have mentioned, they kind of messed up).

    One reason Advent Children got left out is because they'd get their asses copyrightclaimed off if they used footage. What they could just as easily have done, though, is use footage from any theatrical trailers that got released to the public where they were available for free. This is sillier than a W-Meteo...

    Well come to think of it, the Zelda cartoon didn't appear in the Zelda retrospective for more than like two seconds. That wasn't a game. I doubt The Spirits Within will appear in this retrospective either. Saying that, if they do a Sonic retrospective (or if they already have) there better be some mention of Adventures Of Sonic The Hedgehog, because that just shamefully showed Mario how video game cartoons could and should have been done.

    Hey! Part VI is up! But wasn't it supposed to come out on Sunday?

    Now, I have to send an Email to my source to download it for me. Curse dialup.

    Hmm, it was a good episode but it simply gave me the feeling of being rushed. They should have made 2 separate episodes of these two games, even if them being in one episode shows the huge difference between the two. They simply didn't expand enough on some things I feel.

    Seeing IX filled me with nostalgia however. After I finally beat X I'm gonna replay it again. Will be the first time I beat it on my PS3 and not on my PC with ePSXe 1.5.2 ^^"

    Now, I'm curious what they are going to say about X and X-2. So far I've enjoyed X, but not because of the story or characters, but because of the wonderful battlesystem. I'll be glad once I've finished it, so I can put it away finally. I'm not even going to bother with X-2.
