OMG I *love* this retrospective on this awesome, awesome game!! Memories like this are so worth holding onto; it makes these games that much more special to us. We rented Final Fantasy II from our Video Vault for a total of 11 days in a row - our dad was getting PISSED that we'd held the game for so long! And funny thing is we only made it as far as Troia! We were soooo glad when our parents finally bought us the whole game.
@@infernofoxgaming10 Thanks Fox. I can understand only getting to Troia, one of the most difficult parts of the game, for sure. I miss those game rental days. Glad you enjoyed the memories
Only 4 mins in so far but again i gotta say i love how you tell stories you have an incredible memory bro and you tell it so well that it feels like i was there! Loving this episode so far
What a great story! I felt like I'd gone back in time with you in renting this. I'm glad that, even if not the most groundbreaking entry, that you truly appreciate what it did not only for the series but your own RPG fandom as well. I've always wanted to play the DS version and I hope I get some sort of consolized version that would give me a tv and controller option to do so. Until then, I do hope to revisit it someday on the Pixel Remaster. I'd heard of the additions with elements like the new game + feature and often wondered if these were steps to "test the water" for a similar treatment for Chrono Trigger. I still maintain the evidence is tight that something for THAT classic is in the works.😊
@@DoYouNerd I really hope we get a home console port of Final Fantasy IV 3D Remake someday! It is available on Steam as well as Android/iOS as well, though the DS version has a certain charm to it. Any way you can experience it, I highly recommend!
Final Fantasy IV is so good! I played the game for the first time with the GBA version back in the day. However my 1994 game has to go to Sonic the Hedgehog 3 I love that game to death. Fantastic video!
@@_Sergmanx_ the GBA version is really unique because of the party swap option at the end. I fully expected to skip the Advance version then I found that out and was all in. Sonic 3 is one I have only played briefly, will have to play that one live someday! Thanks Serg!
@@BigReecey thanks man, I really appreciate that. This is definitely one of my favorite videos I've made. And yeah, that era certainly was something special. The 16-bit entries were peak Final Fantasy for me
@@TheRetroManRandySavage I did later rent Lagoon. It was kind of like a cross between Zelda and the Ys series. I wasn't a big fan of it, but it does have its fans
I love Lagoon, but it never hooked me like FF series. Final Fantasy series is so good. I have great memories of this game at my friend Kevin's. Part 1 is my George of NES, 2 and 3 are on my snes mountain one way or another, but 7-13 are really my favorite times of gaming. I probably put 10-15k hours in the series. I even loved the couple Gameboy games I had too like Legends. Music, graphics, storytelling, twists and boss fights are unprecedented to other games. It has really given me inspiration to my book series. Great video brother. FYI Edge and Cid were my favorites
I had a friend from school who let me borrow Final Fantasy II. I dont remember if I got to beat it though but I remember that I loved playing it and that I would get Final Fantasy III for my birthday. I remember beating that game though. I still have my copy of Final Fantasy chronicles, lol. The only reason I wanted it is because I had traded my Super Nintendo and I still wanted to play those RPGs. Those are great games to have in your collection Feral.
@@MikeTheGamingRoadWarrior it's definitely worth another playthrough! Such a great RPG. Though, it is a bit rough on the PS1 Chronicles version with the glitches and loading times lol
@@FeralInferno yeah, i thought it was around the late 90s. I used to play it at my old buddies house. We'd get stoned and play that for hours. It was the first time I'd ever completed a game like that. I think it was about 30 hours.😂
@@FeralInferno I usually say it’s because we were dirt poor and couldn’t afford any of the new stuff but in reality it’s because they tried to dissuade me from new consoles and new games thinking it was a marketing ploy which it was, but I knew that it was a reason to grow and try new things
@@rhdata05 I remember that was a big thing in the news at the time. The mainstream media's attack on videogames in the 90's was nothing but fear and rage bait for parents. I didn't listen to them then and I don't listen to them now! 😆

Another great video brother
Thanks man!
Very solid video feral!
Thanks SRF!
The 16bit era final fantasy games are something special aren't they. Love the video mate can feel your passion for this one
@@BigReecey thanks man, I really appreciate that. This is definitely one of my favorite videos I've made. And yeah, that era certainly was something special. The 16-bit entries were peak Final Fantasy for me
@FeralInferno might have to plat the 3d remake on steam deck for my 8 hour flight to Thailand next month
@@BigReecey it's a great game for a trip. Have any fun plans while in Thailand?
I've actually never heard of that Lagoon. I'll have a crack at it though.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage I did later rent Lagoon. It was kind of like a cross between Zelda and the Ys series. I wasn't a big fan of it, but it does have its fans
Sweet video! My dude
@@madkaiser4887 thanks
In my top 3 games of all time!!
@@petemunoz77 FeralInferno approved! Which version of FF4 is your go to?
@@FeralInferno DS then very close PSP
@@petemunoz77 excellent choices. The two definitive ways to play it, IMO. Though I have yet to play the Pixel Remaster version.
Awesome video @FeralInferno Have a awesome night
@@FaTBoYs_GaMInG_N_NoNsEnSe thanks! I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video.
I think i have the combo ps1 copy
I still remember going to pick up the PS1 version on release day. Rode my bike to Toys R Us on that blazing hot summer day.
This is such a well-detailed video! Good stuff bro, absolutely loved this retrospective 🎉
@@uppernimbus thanks, glad you enjoyed the video
Oooh posting before I watch gonna be great.. like 3

@@TheRushmoreShow love the DS version. They did a tremendous job bringing FF4 to the modern era

I never knew 2 was 4 in Japan. It's true what they say, you learn something new every day. 😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage I'm glad I could help drop some knowledge!
@@FeralInferno knowledgeinferno.😂
@@TheRetroManRandySavage so much knowledge, the best knowledge. You're going to know so many things you're gonna be sick of knowing it all 😆
@@FeralInferno lol. You'll be dropping knowledge, bigly.😂
Never played final fantasy 2. I think i played final fantasy 7.
Was 7 released in the late 90s to early 2000s?
@@TheRetroManRandySavage yeah, FF7 came out in the Fall of 1997 on the PS1. Two, on the SNES, was a truly special experience.
@@FeralInferno yeah, i thought it was around the late 90s. I used to play it at my old buddies house.
We'd get stoned and play that for hours.

1994 was a bad year for me when it came to gaming, most of the rental options for me had mainly snes and Genesis games, I only had nes
@@rhdata05 that was close to when the NES supply started dwindling
