All Your Complaints - History of Squaresoft pt. 2 "Final Fantasy"

  • Опубликовано: 23 авг 2013
  • History of Squaresoft, and a History of Final Fantasy. The History of Final Fantasy in its initial development was full of mountains to climb and valleys to cross, but so often the story is told in a brief passing, "Square was in trouble, they released Final Fantasy, and then they were a success." But wait! Why were they in trouble? What caused their impending bankruptcy? Why did Hironobu Sakaguchi want to leave gaming? In this episode of All Your Complaints, we take an in depth look at the company and the people it employed and how the climate that surrounded the young developers lead them to create one of the most influential games of all time. This is the most thorough story you'll ever hear about Final Fantasy. So, sit back and enjoy.
    The writing, voice acting, music compositions, video editing, and overall producing were done by Joshua Drew. As a big fan of Final Fantasy, I'm very happy to share with you all my months work in tribute of this game and series. I live in Los Angeles.

    25,000 Views?! WOW. Never expected this to become as large as it has. I spent hours writing and working on this episode, and my only hope was to make it as well crafted as I possibly could. Thank you all for your support! Looking forward to sharing the next set of videos in the upcoming months. See you guys April!

    This second part is a big improvement over the first part. It covers much of the key details of Squaresoft's early history in detail. Well done on a great job.

    @desofire8483 10 лет назад +1

    For those who can't wait for Mr. Drew to release part 3, please understand that he is pretty much doing this on his own (well, I guess pretty much) which explains why it is slow. Also, he is doing his best to make it as detailed as possible. Remember those companies who took their time creating games? Their games are pretty much legends and sought after (for those who actually appreciate art, dedication, and passion put into making games)

    @jeremyoakes1 11 лет назад

    This was quite wonderful to watch. Props to Kotaku for featuring it. I always knew that this was the franchise that saved Square but to see how they struggled was definitely interesting. Makes me wonder if they weren't the mega company they are now if they could finally recapture the essence of what made these games great

    Guys, there will never be a part 3. Shame he tried to make all the follow-up episodes at once, instead of just focusing on one at a time. I imagine he got overwhelmed and put this project on the backburner, where it is likely to stay forever. At least we have this, which is still my favourite FF documentary ever.
