@@edwardgamerx9061 i think the only differences between the older model and the new ones are brighter screen and better battery altho im unsure about the switch lite. i think it has the same performance as if using a docked one its just more portable with better design and lack of video output.
@@danielgomez2741 Yeah. I did buy and try the game but there was something I didn't like about it. I think it was something about what monsters you could use being too restrictive. It's been a while.
That's the best review I've seen for the game, and if I enjoy a game enough I'll get it for my switch too, awesome! Now I've got it for PS4 and switch, my family loves this game! Now I can play on the switch while the others play on the PS4, thanks heaps for the great review
I played it on PS4, got to ride a dragon, and figured it wasn't going to get any better than that. I mean c'mon, I'm riding a dragon. Lol. But I tried it on the Switch as well, and quickly remembered why I loved it so much. So this time, I'm going to try to finish it, extra content included. It's really that good. The only thing I feel I should mention is the humor. If you like it, the game is a masterpiece. If you don't like it... there's jokes everywhere all the time, so it can quickly be annoying if you don't like it. Fortunately for me, I love it.
@@sandbakk77 thanks for that info, I am usually okay with humor in my games as long as it's funny humor and doesn't get in the way of the story. But, reading your love for the game really makes me want to purchase it today. Again thank you for the information, it really help cement my decision.
Thank you for the review. You helped me decide to buy the game now while it is 50% off at $19.99. Having all but 1 DLC is awesome and maybe some day they will update and add it.
Me before watching this review 'This game looks terrible with barely any strong story' Me after watching 'Ok, so it's story driven and has a little bit of pokemon/disgaea like upgrade systems thrown in.... Hell yes, buying' Only downside for me is the super chibi look. The standard character models are all gorgeous, but when they go super chibi mode it feels like they are 'too cute' to feel empathy for as far as story goes... this probably doesn't make sense hahah. Anyway cheers for the review! will give it a shot
I never played the first game, but got Maxima on my PS4. I play the Jp versions and didn''t really have any issues with the voice acting, but found the game overall quite easy for an FF
I have never played a final fantasy game before but I'm really tempted to pick this one up while it's on sale. Just wondering if you guys think it's worth it even if I don't get any of the references?
Yhellow :D well I’ll be honest you will like it more if you know the series with its characters from across the series and references. That said you can enjoy the gameplay and the story is pretty much separate from the main series so there won’t be too much confusion. Heck if you play a final fantasy game like 7 or 10 you may like it more. If you like the gameplay (which ps4 had a demo but don’t think switch did) then I say go for it, there is a good deal going on and when you know it’s good you take it.
FF8 hasn't been announced for the switch. There are a lot of good final fantasy games coming or are on the switch like 9 but I say pretty much all of them are good for a start... Maybe not 12 seeing it doesn't have gameplay like the others but any of the other numbered titles and world seem like a good start.
speaking from my own experience, I actually find them less enjoyable because I know their original incarnations and there's some major differences between them. like in dissidia, 75% of the characters' personalities are adapted for no good reason. so to me, it's actually better if you don't know the source material. they explain a lot anyway.
game is on sale right now for $20. sale ends in 3 days if anyone interested. im a fan of the series but thought $40 was too much for it so left it alone and decided to get 7-9. if it was a new release then yeah id buy it for the price but nope its just a port. now that its on sale again i bought it. watched backgroundguy on twitch play it and it looks pretty good but still thought about if should get it or not. my final decision was to buy it after watching this video. i really wish they would port over ff6 cause to me its the best in the series next to 9. i dont want the crappy mobile textures tho i just want a 4:3 aspect ratio with upscaling is this too much to ask for? maybe add an option for widescreen support or hell make it 4:3, move the game screen to the left side and have a live world map on the right. as long as it stays close to the original im happy. they could of done this with 7 and 8 but nope we only get an ugly black border. in 8 instead of a map on the right give us chocobo world. at least with 9 they gave us a gray one and its a decent mobile port just loading times need improving
The review was very nice and I regret not buying it when it was on sale. I wonder if I'll be able to hold out until the next sale or just give in and spend the full price.
@@Peepspaint Thank you for telling me about it! :) I downloaded it along with other FF Sales. Btw Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy is super fun if you liked the Pokémon Mystery Dungeons 😁
i wish maxima upgrade was available on the vita, i should have gotten the ps4 version (¯―¯٥) can you play as tifa? and any of the the other characters? i saw garnet on the little vid ig was promoting
Yes, you can. Anyone who had Champion Medals in the original are playable in this game. Tifa, Yuna, Tidus, Cloud, Squall, Lightning, etc. You can buy them as Champion Jewels from the Girl's Tearoom just like you can the Medals.
It’s not the only game that’s known to lag the Switch UI while running. It’ll probably get a patch but nevertheless, I’ll stick with my Vita physical copy. I might have double dipped but SE are too cheap to put the game on a Switch cartridge. Shame!
I mean the concept sounds cool but the monsters standing on each other's heads looks rediculous... Why do they make weird decisions like that with games. Wouldn't it be more fun to control the monster alone? What's this stacked up weird human monster thing?
This technicaly you have 2 groups of 3 members you can swap. The monster are then just pokemkn they have skill tree you can go through as you level them. The whole game looks "cute" so stacking on top of each other make sense.. also on sale right now 14.99
Can't get over the pirate ship fight you need to lose. I get that the enemy is one of the important characters, but you lose in a danger zone... and it's against a pirate (pirates kill/steal/etc.)... so we should get a game over. This broke the rules of the game for absolutely no reason. Was the message: stealing is bad? Cause in that case... who teaches that lesson to the pirates?
I'm having a little regret of buying the PC port last year now that Maxima exists. But not a whole lot. I still enjoyed the game. Once I have a Switch (which will probably be in around 2 years, since I don't really need one now), I can see myself getting Maxima.
"some white haired swordmen...? probably some future paid DLC" come on Toma freaking adorable admit, annoying and baby like sometimes but still damn adorable.
If this is the same as the original game plus more content, how come it takes shorter to finish it? o.O If it took you 43 hours to finish the original, wouldn't this be closer to 55+ hours, not 35+ hours?
Yeah, Sadly. It was a limited time DLC for KH 2.8 being released on PS4. It's stupid and reminds me of how Nintendo is making Super Mario 3D All Stars a limited release and how much I hate it when developers do that. Kingdom Hearts is as much a Final Fantasy game and should be celebrated as such and as such this should have been a permanent DLC.
Just stated playing it today. Im very dissapointed.. so far it has been 90% movie. 10% play. If you dont like the long movies in ff12 then you wont like this because theres way more.
@@johnnydenmark6477 final fantasy isn’t a cartoon you moron, you should have done more research about the game before buying it. A true fan would appreciate the cutscenes and there’s plenty of fan service with this game. There’s no need to act like a child
it's more of a licensing issue, I'm sure. the original version of WoFF launched on Steam last year and that version did not get Sora either. So we can just think of it as a PlayStation exclusive.
@@angeldiaz762 how would Sora be a licensing issue with a company that created him as an original character? If it were Mickey Mouse then I could see licensing being in the way. But it's like saying they couldn't put Aerith is the game because of licensing; Cloud is in the game and Sephiroth.
@@Morbidyouth1 Sora is co-owned by Disney, Tetsuya Nomura created and designed him for the Disney game Square Enix developed for Disney. I think both parties have to agree to use him.

Makes all the sense. It's very cute, but also a disconnect from their actual appearance.
I don't know if you'll see this, but I still greatly appreciate this video, especially since the new pokémon game was a little disappointing.
Since the Switch version has issues, im keen on the PC version, is there any difference with content ?
Day one. Played it 3 days. And its over. Such a fun game
Recently got this game and I’m loving it so far, getting the hang of it but too
I wish they never abandoned that game engine. I hate most of the new FF but I am definately gonna play this one.
I never played the first game, but got Maxima on my PS4. I play the Jp versions and didn''t really have any issues with the voice acting, but found the game overall quite easy for an FF

Great review. I like the battery life breakdown
Im pretty sure its been updated, because I get no menu lag right now playing docked. In case anyone is watching this and deciding to get it for xmas!

This is what mainline modern FF should have been. Instead of trying to be like Devil May Cry.
