I see Razorfist. I click. I click again on the thumbs up. I click to turn my fucking headphones up. I sit back with my eyes loled back till you can't see any color. With a big toothless grin.
I had friends who had been jaded by the FF series who enjoyed FFXV but it does feel weird to have colorful monsters roaming around Southern California but then again, it started out as an experimental spinoff of XIII so it's to be expected. Now I'm off to play Dragon Quest VIII.
Or just vague references to any property that's remotely 'nerdy.' There was one point where a laugh track played solely from one character saying 'Dungeons and Dragons.' No jokes or visual puns, just a reference.
***** Me too. I wasn't dissing the game just making fun of it. I was surprised that I liked it so much. Definitely not a Outlast\Amnesia clone that I thought it was from watching the trailer, glad be wrong on this occasion.
RE7 is one of my favorite games in a long time. I loved seeing them go back to their roots for a lot of design aspects. The first person approach actually worked really well with it and ultimately made the experience both refreshing and nostalgic. How is that even possible? I don't know, and I don't care; I can't stop replaying this game and I'm craving more. Speaking of which, time to play Madhouse with unlimited ammo; watch the fuck out mold monsters-here I come.
I know man! Been playing Doom recently, in all it's metal glory, saw a new Razorfist video and was like "The fuck is this music playing? It's not April 1st, is it?" I actually looked at my calendar...
@Rpground I've also have been playing Doom recently. I've been crying tears of blood and uttering satanic chants while playing. Its been fucking glorious.
While I haven't played the game myself yet, I have to agree that one of the biggest issues with Final Fantasy these days is the abandonment of fantasy, in favor of these weird semi-sci-fi settings. I guess this has to do with the fact that Square, for the past 20 years now, have been obsessed with creating another Final Fantasy VII (with the exception of games like IX, Tactics and maybe XII), desperately attempting to emulate its success, while having little to no idea what made it one to begin with.
I felt that had they added in like 4 open world chapters in-between chapter 14 and 15, and cut some of the fat out of the early game, FFXV would have been incredible. I enjoyed it a lot and sunk 60 hours into it (which I haven't done in an RPG for quite a while), though it did have some disjointed story moments and some Grand Canyon-sized pacing issues.
I'm not upset about the boyband music whatsoever. Fits right into the context, doesn't detract from the character since it's not a recurring thing. Monsieur Razeurfouixst knows what he's doing.
You might be the only youtuber that can consistently make me laugh multiple times every video, the bit about molten silver made me pause the video. Rock on man!
As someone who routinely writes urban fantasy stories, I was actually on board with the modern setting 15 was sporting, but I was never sure how the final product was going to do. And now...Eh, I guess I can check it out when the price drops.
Nearly a decade later, Crystal Chronicles is still by far my favorite game with "Final Fantasy" in the title. We used to take our characters to the bucolic farm town, run off into a field, and position our characters facing each other in a circle. Then we'd form a real-life circle of our own and smoke a blunt. We did this every time we smoked, and to this day no Final Fantasy game has left me with such fond memories. I'd guess it has something to do with the whole "local multiplayer" thing that they failed to ever properly replicate in subsequent games. Oh, and the game was really fun, too.
Y'know after waiting for a whole decade for the game that got me to buy a PS3 in the first place I should already be on this, but not only has it been a long time since the words _from the developement team behind Kingdom Hearts_ sounded like a good thing to me but when I caught word that they still needed to patch in crucial chunks of the story............yeah I might just pass on it altogether now, my enthusiasm towards it has dropped to about rock bottom......
That after credits bit with cup noodles an actual scene from the game? Cuz that is just blatantly product placement, as in I thought it was an actual joke that you made. I'm really not sure cuz I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.
Makes me wonder how much Cup Noodle/Audi/Coleman paid Square Enix for that product placement. I wouldn't doubt that they needed the extra cash after all those years of development.
+sdzero *_"Makes me wonder how much Cup Noodle/Audi/Coleman paid Square Enix for that product placement. I wouldn't doubt that they needed the extra cash after all those years of development."_* Considering that; - This game was announced back in 2002 when they were unveiling their project for 13 as _Fabula Nova Chrystalis_ in JAPANESE magazine while peddling a game from Square that, at the time, had all the Final Fantasy Fan site screaming their head in horror when they saw the protagonist would share the spotlight with Donald and Goofy (personal anecdote; My best friend at the time kept saying that KH would be a flop and 13 would "change the world" based on the snippet of informations. Hindsight, right?). - That it got stuck longer in Limbo than Duke Nukem. - That 13 was such a flop that Kotaku reported picture of used and discounted bin full of copy all around the world. - That it was once cancelled than revived again - That they tied up the guy behind Kingdom Hearts (the only series linked to final fantasy that sell nowadays) to a chair until he finish/save the company's flagship thus delaying his own series for... Five to six years now since it was supposed to follow Birth By Sleep. Probably enough to make up for what was wasted on those game since 2004 (date they say they started working on FF13 and the Novalis) up to 2014 and finish that game. Edit: In essence, this series' title might be appropriate. This may be the "FINAL" FANTASY we ever get to see from Squ-enix. So, can we now talk about PROPER Xenogear sequel?
"So, can we now talk about PROPER Xenogear sequel?" Never? Xenogear isn't even a finished game to begin with. And of the write staff are retired or working in another companies making totally-not Xenogears. That game is a fucking mess.
"Einhorn IS Finkle! Finkle IS Einhorn . . .! Einhorn is a MAN . . .! Oh, my GOD!!! Einhorn is a MAN!!!" I know all there is to know about the crying game . . .
It seems like In every one of these videos, Razorfist manages to misuse a word in his attempts to sound verbose. Tonight, that word was "Rhodesian," which applies not to the ancient Greek city-state that once boasted the Colossus of Rhodes, but to Rhodesia, the former name of Zimbabwe. The word he was looking for, in vain, was "Rhodian."
I don't deny his talent, nor do I deem this video a complete failure (I'm a sucker for some FF hate). But this is not the first time I've seen him do this, and it diminishes the product every time it occurs.
+TheGabeed Its not the type of thing most people would notice. Hell I didn't notice it and I'm usually a stickler for these things. He probably knew what the correct pronunciation was and said it wrong for the sake of maintaining a flow.
Honestly I'm not going to lie but I enjoyed XIII a hell of a lot more than XV. Say what you will about the quality of the plot but it at least had one. XV just has a bunch of random cutscenes all glued together with no cohesiveness whatsoever. And at the end of the day I at least felt like I was playing a jrpg not a watered down western RPG. XV at least for me a was a complete disappointment and one that was certainly not worth the 10 year wait for something that is being compared to the "worst" FF (XIII)
I agree. XV is incomplete, empty, and has no identity. I played many old FFs and XIII did not disappoint me. The worst FF is obviously XV, because, it's not even a Final Fantasy game and it's unfinished product sold at full price. Even Tabata says it's unfinished, which is why Square Enix is STILL working on the game.
Hey Razor, big fan! As a german whos always trying to get better in french and english i can learn more about the twists and niceties of the english language from you than reading fucking mark twain while getting more entertained! Keep up the tongue splitting!
Sad thing is that 4 years later, Final Fantasy XV has sold ~8.5-9 million copies. It had to sell 10 million (in that one article briefly shown at the start) in order to just break even. Ouch.
Am i the only one that found the "war" more interesting than this boy band simulator ? i wanted to see the large scale war i wanted to see struggle and chaos set in the FF world with magic and machine clashing, not search half the planet for the best cup of instant noodles.
2:45 Actually, along the state border between Ohio and West Virginia, there actually is a gas station that still has an attendant pump the gas for you. FF15 is probably gonna be made amazing by mods
Razorfist. Please, as long as RUclips allows you to posts videos, don't die a day sooner then me. Keep up the great work! You and AlphaOmegaSin are officially more entertaining then cable television!
I remember watching a stream and i did a doubletake when i saw the Coleman logo. For me that breaks immersion hard i could never get into the story while seeing these irl brands. I think they did it recoup some of the money on development.
They tried to appeal to people outside of their usual revenue model, without actually changing their revenue model? While tailoring the entire gameplay and aesthetic of the game towards product placement? I'm curious to see the sales of their next game, because I suspect that the series has just committed suicide.
The PC version of current year was... acceptable. My favorite part was at the end of the game when you select a picture you had taken during your adventure and get to look longingly at it, but the open picture I had taken in the whole game was of Cindy's jugs.
I was thinking about picking this one up, just to check it out. But seeing those water effects...maybe I should just wait for the inevitable HD remaster on the PS4 Ultimate Master Pro VR?
Speaking of Japanese games, are you gonna do Nier: Automata and the booty shots when it comes out? Giant robots, post apoc, bullet hell with a thong wearing basically magic robot ninja lady. What's not to love?(the idea of)
If you're a PC gamer and like turn based JRPGs, I would recommend Trails in the Sky (also known as Sora no Kiseki) if you sort of want that old school JRPG experiance. Trails is my favourite JRPG series ever, and I've played Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG. The combat is a lot like Final Fantasy X, which personally is one of the best things about FFX with light SRPG elements in the sense of character positioning being important. Be warned it does have cutscenes rivaling Metal Gear Solid and there is a lot of reading, but the writing is excellent and so are the characters. If you feel like Trails in the Sky could be a bit better, well Trails in the Sky SC improves on the first one, you have to beat the original Trails in the Sky first, since SC picks up where the first one left off. Trails in the Sky the 3rd is being localized as we speak with release window of Spring 2017. Music wise the first Trails game has a some jazz music and some kind of elevator music, but the second game has a couple of metal like soundtracks, it's made by the same developers of the Ys series (Nihon Falcom) who's soundtrack has a lot of metal like soundtracks. Personally the first Trails game IMO has the weakest (not bad) music. Zero no Kieski (Trails to Zero? Sadly it's not localised), Ao no Kiseki (Trails in the Blue?) and Trails of Cold Steel have amazing soundtracks. Look up "Get over the Barrier" which is Zero's standard battle theme and "Glint of Cold Steel" which is Cold steel's standard battle theme.
One thing I also like about Trails to the Sky series is that it keeps the melodrama to a tasteful minimum compared to some JRPGs. If anyone's reading this it's definitely a good buy and the best part, the first two games are on Steam. Get that shit.
As if you being a fan of the series is a surprise given the Avatar, but yeah I actually really enjoyed Trails in the Sky and I generally do not enjoy JRPGs - it is also the most difficult JRPG I have played and combat remained interesting throughout the game and the lore was tastefully sprinkled though dialogue and was not overbearing (unlike FF12) and the main way of gathering lore was one hunting for it (again unlike FF12). The worst thing about Trails in the Sky is that it is impossible to abbreviate and be taken seriously.
What can I say? I like Estelle and this is one of her best facial expressions. But I do agree, these games are very long and split into 2 to 3 games. Well The 3rd is considered to be an offshoot, it seems to have a strong connection with what happened at the end of SC. But Falcom have done it in a way where you can start at any story arc, but not start in the middle of it, that's kind of a no, no. I think quite a few people got into to the series first with Cold Steel. be prepared for the long haul when you play these games. Not to mention the games warrant a second playthrough, since I pick up on things that didn't see the first time around, but maybe that's just me.
That lore statement is very true. In finding little bits here and there and getting invested you WANT to find out more about the story and so you hunt for it. Very rare for a RPG let alone a JRPG to do that to me.
To me it just felt like they forgot they were making a Final Fantasy game a third of the way through and wanted to make Fallout instead.
Wait a minute fallout you say...
Are we talking about fallout3/4 style or New Vegas.
Hey Larry
It looks like they're LARPing. Constantly.
Larry Bundy Jr you and razorfist should definitely do a video together

So how long until there's a mod that allows you to play as Razorfist in FF15? He dresses the part and his backyard is a fucking desert.

Implying ff15 is still worth playing or any ff game after 6 for that matter
"Blame Razörfist for the boyband music."

Shhh.
Er I call it less "Throwing him under the bus." more "Gently pushing him under a mini van"
I'm sorry Razorfist but that ending and the voice you used had me on the floor laughing.
If you play the game that is the exact voice they use during the noddle side mission I was pissing myself with laughter during the game as well.
Mel Brooks from the movie Spaceballs. Too true about the merchandising.
That was the killer. I don't think i've seen that fast n' fluid a corporate transition since Robocop.
Adding the finest, freshest ingredients to Cup Noodle is like putting a formula racing engine in a Yugo.

I would actually watch TBBT if they had Tidus' laugh tracks.

FINALLY. Now review Resident Evil Biohazard: 7 Biohazard Evil Resident: Swamp People Special Edition

Seeing how if you're fighting zombies in any of the games then you're not playing them right you can call them all walking simulators.

i found the opening music really fitting because the main characters remind me alot of a boy group
@Rpground I've also have been playing Doom recently. I've been crying tears of blood and uttering satanic chants while playing. Its been fucking glorious.
It SAYS Final Fantasy but all I'm seeing is Boy Band The Cali Road Trip- Bigger Critters and Super Product Placement edition. Or is that just me?
While I haven't played the game myself yet, I have to agree that one of the biggest issues with Final Fantasy these days is the abandonment of fantasy, in favor of these weird semi-sci-fi settings.

Nearly a decade later, Crystal Chronicles is still by far my favorite game with "Final Fantasy" in the title. We used to take our characters to the bucolic farm town, run off into a field, and position our characters facing each other in a circle. Then we'd form a real-life circle of our own and smoke a blunt. We did this every time we smoked, and to this day no Final Fantasy game has left me with such fond memories. I'd guess it has something to do with the whole "local multiplayer" thing that they failed to ever properly replicate in subsequent games.
Oh, and the game was really fun, too.
The Frodo for Fruit Loops thingy was the funniest thing ive seen in like 3 months
I'm glad you've finished Final Fantasy 15. Now embrace your inner weabo and review Nioh.
I have the sudden urge to eat top shelf college food....
Solid review once again, Razorfist. Huge Final Fantasy fan and I love FFXV but you make excellent points. Keep up the good work!
Y'know after waiting for a whole decade for the game that got me to buy a PS3 in the first place I should already be on this, but not only has it been a long time since the words _from the developement team behind Kingdom Hearts_ sounded like a good thing to me but when I caught word that they still needed to patch in crucial chunks of the story............yeah I might just pass on it altogether now, my enthusiasm towards it has dropped to about rock bottom......
I had to give this video a thumbs up just for the clip of that model Titanic hitting the fake berg and blowing up.
I'm in stitches here. XD
Oh Jesus you NAILED that "overzealous salesman" smile at the very end. I rewound, paused it right there, and laughed my ass off.
If there isn't excessive amounts of yaoi in this, Razor's doin it wrong.
I'm sorry, Razor, but using NSync for the intro had me dancing in my seat.
That after credits bit with cup noodles an actual scene from the game? Cuz that is just blatantly product placement, as in I thought it was an actual joke that you made. I'm really not sure cuz I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.
It's as real as it is soul-crushing, I'm afraid.
Makes me wonder how much Cup Noodle/Audi/Coleman paid Square Enix for that product placement. I wouldn't doubt that they needed the extra cash after all those years of development.

Considering that;
- This game was announced back in 2002 when they were unveiling their project for 13 as _Fabula Nova Chrystalis_ in JAPANESE magazine while peddling a game from Square that, at the time, had all the Final Fantasy Fan site screaming their head in horror when they saw the protagonist would share the spotlight with Donald and Goofy (personal anecdote; My best friend at the time kept saying that KH would be a flop and 13 would "change the world" based on the snippet of informations. Hindsight, right?).
- That it got stuck longer in Limbo than Duke Nukem.
- That 13 was such a flop that Kotaku reported picture of used and discounted bin full of copy all around the world.
- That it was once cancelled than revived again
- That they tied up the guy behind Kingdom Hearts (the only series linked to final fantasy that sell nowadays) to a chair until he finish/save the company's flagship thus delaying his own series for... Five to six years now since it was supposed to follow Birth By Sleep.

That Tidus laugh track is genius

By the time I got to the time travel bit, I was so bored that I didn't bother finishing
The driving mechanic is an insult to video gaming.
It makes me so sad that I know all of the hentai spliced into this video
I heard the last piece of sound, thought eh, these girls may be hot I'll look em up....Dream Street ARE GUYS!!!

Couldn't get past the gas station. Pushed a car, realized I was one park on ninja boy and and traded it right in at a loss and, that was fine.
The Keira Knightly bit had me crying, even more than the boy band music!
Someone forgot to use decaf this morning!
Hilarious!
The irony is that you had to pay for the ramen cup to do that hilarious final bit.
Am i the only one that found the "war" more interesting than this boy band simulator ? i wanted to see the large scale war i wanted to see struggle and chaos set in the FF world with magic and machine clashing, not search half the planet for the best cup of instant noodles.
Perhaps Valkryia Chronicles but Better would be more your Cup of Noodles?
They made a movie about that set just before the game. I dont suggest it for you tho, its still character drama driven thing.
Love this game. Then again, the only Final Fantasy game I've played I haven't loved was VIII. And yes, that includes the XIIIs.
VIII doesn't get as much hate as it deserves
The only thing flatter than that ocean is Keira Knightley sailing on it!
"Go home Toucan Sam" is still the funniest thing to me
2:45 Actually, along the state border between Ohio and West Virginia, there actually is a gas station that still has an attendant pump the gas for you.
FF15 is probably gonna be made amazing by mods
But but buuuut I love 12....damn you Razorfist!
Michelle Howard he doesn't like it, no neither can you :-P
12 is my bae..
XII is my favorite 3D Final Fantasy. Super hyped for the PS4 release even if I'm not a fan of the Zodiac Job System.
fingrid damn that's deep
It certainly had the best bestiary that I've seen. Besides Shadow Hearts Covenant that is.
I have a hankering to kill those demon walls again.

Well that intro was an unexpected kick in the nads
You will not include Ignis in your XV rant. He is damn near perfection.

I totally recognize the Diabolik reference. I watched the MST3k version online
Dude, my store is still stocking those FFIV cup noodles.
I remember watching a stream and i did a doubletake when i saw the Coleman logo. For me that breaks immersion hard i could never get into the story while seeing these irl brands. I think they did it recoup some of the money on development.
I they had real balls they would have done a McDonald's tie in
This is like the 6th Razor's video that did not show up in my subscription box. Very strange.
Now lets wait 4 more years for Final Fantasy VII Remake
Thanks a lot, Razor. That intro made my ears bleed.
Night Shift nurses is really a criminally under-memed show.
Breath of fire, man , That was the first game I bought a players guide for. Still play it.
They tried to appeal to people outside of their usual revenue model, without actually changing their revenue model? While tailoring the entire gameplay and aesthetic of the game towards product placement? I'm curious to see the sales of their next game, because I suspect that the series has just committed suicide.
12 is bomb dude.
Can we have a moment to stand still at the fact that Mel Brooks is still here in this timeline being funny?
That is all
I now suddenly have the urge to eat Cup of Noodles.
The PC version of current year was... acceptable. My favorite part was at the end of the game when you select a picture you had taken during your adventure and get to look longingly at it, but the open picture I had taken in the whole game was of Cindy's jugs.
I never switched in between tabs quicker than that tentacle scene
HEY! You leave Keira Knightley out of this!
That's some fine ass cup noodles you got there...
God that felt so good. Thank you for reviewing this game :D
I did not expect to see Night Shift Nurses on RUclips.
Does George Wiedman know that you stole his noodles?
I was thinking about picking this one up, just to check it out. But seeing those water effects...maybe I should just wait for the inevitable HD remaster on the PS4 Ultimate Master Pro VR?
I lost it at "Go home, Toucan Sam."
Speaking of Japanese games, are you gonna do Nier: Automata and the booty shots when it comes out? Giant robots, post apoc, bullet hell with a thong wearing basically magic robot ninja lady. What's not to love?(the idea of)
If you're a PC gamer and like turn based JRPGs, I would recommend Trails in the Sky (also known as Sora no Kiseki) if you sort of want that old school JRPG experiance. Trails is my favourite JRPG series ever, and I've played Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG. The combat is a lot like Final Fantasy X, which personally is one of the best things about FFX with light SRPG elements in the sense of character positioning being important. Be warned it does have cutscenes rivaling Metal Gear Solid and there is a lot of reading, but the writing is excellent and so are the characters. If you feel like Trails in the Sky could be a bit better, well Trails in the Sky SC improves on the first one, you have to beat the original Trails in the Sky first, since SC picks up where the first one left off. Trails in the Sky the 3rd is being localized as we speak with release window of Spring 2017.
Music wise the first Trails game has a some jazz music and some kind of elevator music, but the second game has a couple of metal like soundtracks, it's made by the same developers of the Ys series (Nihon Falcom) who's soundtrack has a lot of metal like soundtracks. Personally the first Trails game IMO has the weakest (not bad) music. Zero no Kieski (Trails to Zero? Sadly it's not localised), Ao no Kiseki (Trails in the Blue?) and Trails of Cold Steel have amazing soundtracks. Look up "Get over the Barrier" which is Zero's standard battle theme and "Glint of Cold Steel" which is Cold steel's standard battle theme.
One thing I also like about Trails to the Sky series is that it keeps the melodrama to a tasteful minimum compared to some JRPGs. If anyone's reading this it's definitely a good buy and the best part, the first two games are on Steam. Get that shit.
As if you being a fan of the series is a surprise given the Avatar, but yeah I actually really enjoyed Trails in the Sky and I generally do not enjoy JRPGs - it is also the most difficult JRPG I have played and combat remained interesting throughout the game and the lore was tastefully sprinkled though dialogue and was not overbearing (unlike FF12) and the main way of gathering lore was one hunting for it (again unlike FF12).
The worst thing about Trails in the Sky is that it is impossible to abbreviate and be taken seriously.
What can I say? I like Estelle and this is one of her best facial expressions. But I do agree, these games are very long and split into 2 to 3 games. Well The 3rd is considered to be an offshoot, it seems to have a strong connection with what happened at the end of SC. But Falcom have done it in a way where you can start at any story arc, but not start in the middle of it, that's kind of a no, no. I think quite a few people got into to the series first with Cold Steel. be prepared for the long haul when you play these games. Not to mention the games warrant a second playthrough, since I pick up on things that didn't see the first time around, but maybe that's just me.
That lore statement is very true. In finding little bits here and there and getting invested you WANT to find out more about the story and so you hunt for it. Very rare for a RPG let alone a JRPG to do that to me.
Glad to see Trails in the Sky get some love on here. Nihon Falcom is probably the only company keeping the old school style alive these days.
