So now that we have almost all the final fantasys on modern consoles, do you think we will get a remaster of tactics?
have no idea about that as of now, but if they remastered the great Tactics Ogre, then Final Fantasy Tactics (which is even greater and more iconic) will most likely happen sooner or later. 🤞*fingers crossed
@@blastfromthepastgaming Agree. If Tactics Ogre could get a Remaster. I see there's a huge chance on FF Tactics.
I think you really should start including FF11 and FF14 if you're gonna say all the mainline Final Fantasy games. Plus I don't think being an MMO should mean taking it off the list
so, not all ff mainline games actually
Have to say. One thing missing on 15 is the fact we finally had the relatable size of summons in battle. Others tried but this game got the shear titan size down very well.
Agreed 💯
FF15 is missing a story. The fact you have to watch an anime, a film and then play four DLCs to fully understand the game is stupid and poor. And the relationships between main male/female characters is non-existent
Only thing missing is the characters ff13vs? design
The best part about the music in 15 was collecting music from all the prior games and playing them as you drove around the map. Also, one of my favorite songs in the entire series is Otherworld from FFX. A bit of metal added to my favorite series of games. While other songs tug at the heartstrings, like Aerith's theme, Otherworld just gets you jacked. Only other one that comes close is One Winged Angel.
Completely forgot Otherworld! that track is badasss! 🤘
Otherworld is my phones ring tone
Every time FF11 and FF14 aren't included in a mainline list, Yoshi-P and Sakaguchi shake their head in disappointment.
🤷♂️😂
Fully agree but those entries are kinda expensive & require internet access.
These are still core FF experiences. It’s very odd it was left out.
Final Fantasy FF11 and FF14 clearly hold a special place in the hearts and minds of players , so I can understand the disappointment of not seeing something you love being included - believe me, I do. Unfortunately, as much as I want to include them, I haven't played them, and I'm quite ignorant about their content. Therefore, I won't include them in the video just to please everyone✌️
One day I hope they can turn at least the story of those game into single player console games so people who don't play online games can experience them somewhat as we do. Especially FF14 because it has such a great story, but not every FF fan will play it because they don't consider it a real FF game. They don't know what they're missing... and this is coming from someone who literally had to be dragged into FF14 by my friend and now I consider it my favorite FF game along with 9 and 7
Forget Dissidia, with that thumbnail art Terra could be a guest fighter in Dead or Alive.
That's the pixel remaster version bruh 😂
Ff7 had the most heart wrenching scene...
Meanwhile, Galuf and Celes going "are we jokes to you?"
Feelsbringers and Tearswalker say hi
@destinyshand2049 feelsbringers especially. Never have I been so devastated by seeing an npc I've known less than a day...well can't really say die, but I'm sure you know who I'm referring to.
Final Fantasy IV was the first I played in the series, and while we look back on it now and realize how silly a lot of the story is, when I was playing it at 12 years old, it was intriguing. I had never played anything like it before then and I fell in love with it instantly. I could talk for hours about how much there is to love about IV - X. At the time XI came out, I was a young adult just starting out on my own, so I couldn't afford a PC to play it on and that's where I lost touch with the series, but up until that point, Final Fantasy had given me so many fantastic memories. I even enjoyed Mystic Quest!
Same bro. Exact same.
Bless whoever drew that Terra fan art in the thumbnail
🙏
Clicked for the thumbnail, but stayed for the video
Terra's theme is the sound of nostalgia. I use it as my morning alarm.
💯💯
I'm so sad that ff8 is as divisive as it is, because that just means it's very unlikely to get the remake treatment that 7 got. A remake like that would be a dream come true for my childhood self.
We can dream buddy
I think I may have seen something about someone wanting to remake it after remaking 7 but also wanting to leave it for younger devs to remake since they were getting old, althought I cant remember the source.
I think VIII would benefit the most from a remake.
To me personally the track "To Zanarkand" is by far one of the most beautiful and tragic musical tracks in gaming i have ever heard, it get's to me every time i hear it just because it reminds me of the tragic story that FFX is.
Ever got a feeling of almost shedding a tear whenever you hear it randomly?
@@blastfromthepastgaming I Always do whenever i hear it
Ff12 was ahead of its time during the ps2 era.
nothing beats golden era Final Fantasy (6,7,8,9)
I would have added 5 and tactics in that mix but thats my list and not yours but mad respect to it
I love every mainline Final Fantasy game! but my favorites from the series would be 7, 8, 10, 12, 9 (in that order 😁). If spin-offs is included.
7, 8, 10, Crisis Core, 12, Tactics
Id say 10 as well in that, it's equally as legendary especially better than 8 was. Not to hate on 8
Seriously, that period was absolute magic. There's nothing like that feeling of coming home from school with the new final fantasy still shrink-wrapped, wondering what amazing adventure it was going to take you on. 6, 7, and 8 are some of my fondest memories as a kid.
My childhood
One more thing I'll add for Final Fantasy 15: Ardyn was probably the most compelling main villain Final Fantasy has had since about 6, or 7. He had a lot of depth as to how and why he went down the dark path he did... and his capacity to really mind-f*** with the heroes on a level that most villains hadn't really done before! The only main drawback being that he wasn't a multi-form boss like Zeromus, ExDeath, or Sephiroth. It's interesting how he starts out actually kind of likable early in the game, and then becomes increasingly creepy as the game progresses!
I'd argue that Bahamuth is the true main villain.
@@Tyranastrasza Yeah, after watching Ardyn's origin story and seeing some analysis videos on RUclips, I tend to agree.
Best part of FFXIV: The story... Hands down. Easily one of the best rpg stories ever.
Yeah, it was shockingly deep for its time. I'd argue that 7 was also light-years ahead of its time, with terrorism, climate change, insecurity, and of course, the good old power of friendship. But seriously, the twist where Cloud turns out to be a big fraud and your everyday Joe Bloggs, that hit hard as a fellow nobody, in my early teens.
I haven't played the remake, but I'm worried they're going to do away with that plot point because of how popular Cloud has become.
@@actuallynotsteve FFVII Remake trilogy is actually a sequel to FFVII, in particular a sequel to advent children, the plot point that cloud is a fake who has Zack's memories is almost guaranteed to stick though
Man, I keep hearing that FF14 has a great story. I'm pretty ignorant about it, you see. Maybe I'll get into it just to experience that and share my thoughts in a video. I'm a sucker for a good JRPG story (much more than multiplayer experiences)
@@blastfromthepastgaming Lucky for you FFXIV can be enjoyed mostly solo (the mandatory multiplayer experiences are not that numerous). Features a great tab targetting system very well refined for controllers.
And the free Trial includes the initial release (well, the second initial relase to be exact) and the critically acclaimed first expansion Heavensward, with no restriction on play time.
Yes the story starts out pretty slow but then it just gets so GOOD! there's a reason the 3rd expansion is nicknamed Feelsbringers. I remember the ending of FF10 gut punched me in the feels, but it seems like FF14 has done that so many more times and I love it for that
Great video and trip down memory lane. 😁
(That thumbnail image of Terra isn’t too shabby either. 👌)
Ahh, I see you're a man of culture as well 🤝
Ff13 battle system, once mastered my my. It's a beautiful thing.
FFV was also the first game in the series that introduced optional bosses, which later were known as weapons
Nice piece of info
Correction: Kain wasn't the first dragoon. That was Richard in FF2. Also, the dark knight originated in FF2: Leon. That said, iconic signature moves didn't appear until later, like Jump and Darkness/Darkside. As you correctly said, much of the famous things in final fantasy started in FF2. 🙂
Thanks! mistake on my part, completely forgot some of these guest/ temporary allies on FF2. Haven't replayed it in a while 😁
@@blastfromthepastgaming in that case i suggest playing the well of souls version on gba. you can play with the temporary characters on the post ending
@@blastfromthepastgaming and while richard didn't hit on some of the more iconic features of the class, particularly the lances and the jumping, those were solidifed with the dragoon job in ff3. the main thing kain added to the mix was his armor, since richard wasn't _quite_ there yet.
it's also worth noting that many dragoons in the series share richard's surname, highwind.
Dragoon also appears in FF3 alongside Dark Knight
I'm re-playing the pixel remasters, and I'm still being surprised at how old some of the monsters are and where they began, like I always thought moogles were ff5, but I just met them in ff3. Also, as an avid fan of ff14 and the series as a whole, it's been interesting to see the older stories reused in parts for inspiration in later titles, such as a world claimed by a calamity (ff3 sunken world vs ff14 void).
Final fantasy XIII is my favorite, i love the world and the characters.
Hearing Aerith's Theme and To Zanarkand got me teary eyed in the club rn
Terra showing us the best parts of VI in the thumbnail
Best parts indeed 😋🤒
FF13 has one of the best soundtrack in the franchise. Blinded by the light is one of my fav battle themes of all time.
Honestly the music in FF13 doesn’t get enough love. It’s amazing.
My bad. When I was writing the script, I was already sleepy, as it was the last entry I had written 😅. I agree that the music in FF13 is solid, and yeah Blinded By Light is one of the best battle themes ever created.
9 was my favorite game for 20 years until this year. I never understood 7 and why so many like it but now I'm 30 years old and truly appreciate 7 and the immense depth of all of the characters, history, and gameplay it has. 7 has finally revealed itself to me to be a true masterpiece that no other entry can come close to matching. The story is truly worthy of all the praise it gets and if you disagree, you probably have never truly absorbed it all.
Welcome to the lifestream my brother
Final Fantasy 7 is easily one of the best video games of all time. Now that I'm past my hipster phase, I can admit that 😛
I really love the Materia system. It was redone very well in the remake. And not just for using magic, but all the support materia, and things like elemental and added effect, linking things together it can be so simple or very complex.
I still enjoy FF9 more. It just hit all the notes that I loved. Especially the medieval(ish) time period. Not saying 7 in bad, but 9 just does it for me.
9 is my favourite masterpiece. It's the closest to perfection to me
What I like about the games I played in the series are :
FF1: I'm a sucker for self-insert RPGs
FF2: I don't know of another RPG on the NES that goes that deep on the story
FF3: how it established series staples
FF4: the characters
FF5: the music
FF6: *EVERYTHING*
FF7: Midgar
FF12: *ALMOST EVERYTHING*
FF13: when the characters come to terms with their own conflict specifically Sazh and Hope
FF15: the open world
Back then my first one was FF7 so i'm really excited because recently i finally started to play 1-6 (near the end of 1 atm).
Just curious, why are 8/9/10 missing?
@@christianstachl because I haven't played them. I want to try IX and X specifically when I have the time.
From what I've seen, I can tell you my favorite thing about FFIX is the aesthetic, FFVIII is the opening (seriously it's probably my favorite by the lyrics alone), and FFX is the romance between Tidus and Yuna .
@@Faceless_time_traveler
I should've worded my question differently because it's obvious that you didn't play them 😅
I meant something like WHY you never played them, but now i see you're going to.
And yes, IX is a really beautiful mix between modern and retro. VIIIs opening is a classic and just beautiful, the only thing i didn't like that much about the game is the magic system. It's a nice idea, but magic overall seems too weak. And X is in my eyes overall a masterpiece.
I wish you lots of fun playing them 😊
@@christianstachl tbh I started from FFXII, played XIV Realm Reborn, XIII and XV and after that I've been climbing up from FFI . So you can say I'm like you except that I started much later.
Anyway, FFIV and VI were especially fun. Hope you enjoy them
@@Faceless_time_traveler
I see, nice. And yes, i'm especially looking forward to 4-6 😊
Lmao no shame with that thumbnail and I'm here for it, absolute man of culture 👌😆
Eyy! I see you're a man of culture as well 😏🍈🍈
the opera house was memorable in the world of balance, the opera house in the world of ruin just had a dragon. but the music there and Celes' theme is forever a memory. i really enjoyed ff15 and how it felt over all, the way the story wrapped up felt very sudden and quick, didnt really like that but over all i thought it was amazing. it felt like it was trying to touch back to final fantasy 6. also Dancing Mad goes hard as you ride around across the roads in ff15 :) loved kefka and celes' themes
FFXV had the most natural feeling friendships. It felt like a bunch of guys going on a roadtrip and the conversations weren't always focused on something big. I think the sudden change of the original concept and time crunch ultimately hurt the game. FFXV's original concept is now being integrated into Kingdom Hearts 🙄.
i completed FF1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and 13.
4 is probably my favorite closely followed by 6.
FFXV i played on covid and made me cry like a baby in the end, i just love this game
3 and 5 will probably always be what FF is to me. A job-swapping adventure.
job swapping adventure? Try FF14! :D it's an MMO but it has a great story to go with it and plenty of job swapping including crafting and gathering classes
Another thing I love are the movies produced in an edge-cutting quality of graphics. I wish SE could do more on the movie as well.
Final Fantasy VI (or FFIII from the original SNES) is my favorite FF game and one of my favorite ALL TIME RPGs
Things that turn me off with FF13 are actually the terms they use in the game. I know that JRPGs usually use their own terms to discribe their words. But I find FF13 is so confusing. You know, things like Falcie, L'cile or whatever. I mean, just keep it simple, Man. 😅
Haha when I first played FF13 it was after I finished Type-0 and it carried some elements from it too as part of the fabula nova crystallis series of games. They're quite good as well 😁
cool to see soemthing positiv about FFXIII.
But, i also liked how the story was told from the perspectiv of all character and not just Lightning, and the music is amazing. Blinded by Light is truly a piece of art.
1 - Open world discovery nature of the story
2 - Transition to story focus games helped the franchise in the long run
3 - Best job system hands down
4 - First true great FF story
5 - Gilgamesh!
6 - Final dungeon and boss are the best to this day
7 - Focus on a strong Protagonist character arc
8 - Triple Triad
9 - Best World building hands down
10 - Best storyline in any FF game
12 - Biggest and most expansive open world (even if it's area based)
13 - Fang my wife
15 - Party dynamic was a true highlight.
Final Fantasy X. The game that basically made me buy THREE different consoles.
I finally talked myself into buying a PS2 when it got it's first Final Fantasy game. After years of loving the Final Fantasy games on the SNES and then Playstation.
Of course.. That kept me happy until.. The Remaster of FFX/FFX-2 was released on the PS3. Back to the shop to buy a PS3 and the game again.
Which was all well and good... UNTIL that remaster was released on the PSVita. Hell, maybe it was released before the PS3 version? No idea. But as soon as I realised I could play FFX and FFX-2 on a portable.. "TAKE MY MONEY!!" Registered with the PSN and bought every Final Fantasy game available in the UK for the Vita. It's still sitting in a drawer to this day with all those games + Resident Evil 1/2/3 on the SD card. For those rare occasions that I can be bothered leaving the house.
Luckily I already owned a high end PC by the time FFX was released for Steam. So at least I only had to pay for the game AGAIN!
Way to show some love for FF10 🙌💯
Subscribed! Keep up the good work man
Thanks for the sub!
My first and no 1 FF is 5, thats why I love any games especially FF with job system
XIII’s soundtrack 🤤🤤🤤, come on!
I clicked because of the thumbnail. You got me, okay?
Happy to be of service
To Zanarkand actually got me choked up as background noise…
Kain was not the first time we got the dragoon class. Ricard in II was a Dragoon
Addressed this already in the pinned comments and description. But hey, I'm always thankful for the extra engagement 🫡👌
@@blastfromthepastgaming I only did it cause in the description you said I could lol
@@runeboyz7 Thanks for your cooperation haha
Man I really really need to go back and play FF6 properly. Played it off and on for months at a time on emulator and only got 2/3 through and odn't remember a lot of it, because I wasn't really paying a lot of attention like I did with 7 and up.
💯💯
No mention about the music genius of Masayoshi Soken.
He might not be as popular as Uematsu. But people should listen to his music. It is amazing.
Sad to see Uematsu go, but Soken gives me hope for the future.
I loved most FF games, and I’ve played all of the mainline series and most of the spin offs. The ones I did not like and therefore didn’t complete were 8, 13, and 15. My favorites were 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 10-2, and 12. My #1 favorite is 10. I adore the pre-13 games and I’ve played most of them multiple times. Sadly, I’m not confident that the series will ever find the magic again, that made pre-13 games so beloved.
Out of interest what did you not like about 13? I really enjoyed it and I too have played all the mainline games.
Looks at thumbnail….
“I’m pretty sure Terra wasn’t stacked like that…” lol
It's the pixel remastered version bruh, they just released it
Final Fantasy XIII. Uh... It fells good everytime you pause or turn off the game.
Please do one for the spin offs sequels and MMOs. Pleaseee
You got it 👌
I don't know the games that well other than final fantasy remake. I can't imagine another game holding a candle to this.
I have played 1, 4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. I play 14 although not as much as I used to. I recently bought the pixel remaster collection on Steam to play all first 6, then I plan to play again 7,8,9 and 10, and continue with the others. Stranger of Paradise is not main, but it tells a story of FF1 from the eyes of a villain and it is absolutely genius.
XV's story doesn't deserve even to be on the fridge. The map, however, gold star. What saved the game for me was the lore/theories fans speculated. We got very few hints abt the world's gods/esses, but the statues and landmarks peppered throughout got the theorizers connecting the dots. I love the work and ideas they come up with.
That thumbnail looks like as if Tifa cosplaying as Terra... (why just now that I realized they both names' starts with the letter T...)
I love ff8 by far the best. The only thing I would change it an update to the graphics. I know it was remastered already but I'd love to see not only the in-game graphics improved but cutscenes as well with the addition of some voices. Otherwise it's perfect. Just perfect. Down to the last minute detail.
My fav are 9, 10, and 7, love 9 the most cause of the interesting fantasy like characters ❤
Thank you for making this video💖💖💖 so nostalgic 🩷💜
💯
Imagine putting FF7 Remake in the thumbnail but not in the actual video
You put Terra in the thumbnail... I come.
Come again?
A man of culture I see..
@@blastfromthepastgaming Naturally.
FFIV: I like how the characters are connected to their classes, which makes the cast more unique. FFVI: The storytelling is perhaps the strongest in the series. Just pulls you in from the start. FFVII: The world-building makes everything feel connected. FFVIII: Still my favorite cutscenes in the series. FFIX: Some of the most endearing characters in the franchise. FFX: I love the complexity and nuances of the cast. FFXIII: Amazing soundtrack. Right up there with the best. FFXV: May seem minor, but I like how the characters advance in age later in the game. Feels like an unexplored concept for the most part in the series.
Great takes, thanks for sharing!
Man I'm ok with Terra having a boob job WOW
I'm saying. XD wtf
That's the pixel remaster version bro... 😂
Video showed up on my list again....Terra damn you
IV did not introduce dragoons.
Dragoons were in both II and III.
Thanks, It's mentioned it in the pinned comments and vid description.
@@blastfromthepastgaming missed that. Thanks for correcting it!
I liked every final fantasy except 8 and 13 part 1
The best thing from each final fantasy game? Nobuo Uematsu!
Sadly, he wasn't too involved in Final Fantasy anymore in the later entries.
Grap a chocobo.. man I love me some MFC (Midgard's Fried Chocobo)
🍗😋🤤
11:33 YESSSSS!!! YESSSSSS!! So glad to hear the right pronounciation of his name for once! I'm a bit tired of hearing "Tide-us" everywhere just because the English voice actor randomly declared it's the right one when he's wrong (especially since even an official English video trailer of the game pronounces it like you do, and that's how the word is supposed to be pronounced, since it comes from the word "Sun" in Okinawan). I know each to their own and no one cares but somehow hearing Tidus being rightly pronounced here made me super happy.
Haha! glad you appreciated it 🙌
everytime i see a list like this i always feel like giving ff13 a second chance
I’m one of the few that really enjoyed 13. I don’t think it deserves the hate it gets as it was no more linear than 10 which people always praise (aside from the laughing scene that they don’t understand.)
@@bd4315 thank you it’s always good to find a fell 13 lover it was my first final fantasy game and I instantly fell in love with it and if people could put aside their problems with the linearity it has amazing summons an interesting and engaging battle system and story and each of the characters feel truly unique and have great chemistry I will always defend it and I’m always glad to find someone who appreciates it as well 😊
@@joshuagoforth1658 I really enjoyed switching between the classes mid battle to cripple an enemy then head back to my attackers to make them stagger etc. It felt much more engaging than just purely attacking like the older ones. (I love those too for the record.) the only thing I really had an issue with was the summon battles as if you hadn’t prepared properly they were genuinely impossible.
All I can think really as to why people didn’t like it is the opening hour or so where all you can do is attack as you haven’t unlocked any magic yet etc which might have scared some people off if they thought that was going to be the whole game.
Yup. FF13 is one of my fav FF games. The story, world, characters, and the soundtrack. The soundtrack is just perfect.
It's my favorite. I replayed it multiple times. The game really opens up.
Best parts, (in my opinion)
1: It is possibly one of the worst games due to its sheer age, but it did introduce several ideas and mechanics that stuck around. More than that, while the plot and world feels empty sometimes, you do feel like you're up against enemies far larger and stronger than yourself most of the time, which feels rewarding when you beat it.
2: It was the beginning of having a deeper story in the games, along with introducing staples such as the Chocobo, Cid, and the first Dragoon, though in name only.
3: The job system, while finicky and bad at points, laid the groundwork for other class systems down the line. As well as having the first proper dragoon, one with jump (I think?).
4: The game's ATS laid the groundwork for many games in the future, its focus on story set the precedent for many other games in the future.
5: The class system has been refined well, allowing one to mix and match and find a playstyle they enjoy, though it may not be the most effective. Along with its fun tone and sense of humor, the music and scenes really makes you feel like these are 4 friends who have set out on an adventure.
6: 6's focus on storytelling and wide variety of options is quite unique, the esper system allows you to use the various characters without limiting them too heavily.
7: 7's materia system isn't too difficult to understand, and can allow a player to choose to use a weaker weapon or accessory simply because it allows them more options in battle, which could be far more valuable than simply having a stronger weapon. The story is complex, the villain's motives are strange, but almost understandable in a way, yet they still come across as despicable and evil in spite of that.
8: 8's leveling system is... controversial, yet the junction system isn't too difficult to grasp (I did, though I was an adult when I first played). It rewards the player for not just mindlessly beating things up, being careful with what you do and say, and how you go about things as well.
9: The cast of 9 is wonderful, one of the better ones I feel. I just want to hug Vivi, Quina is lovably weird, Zidane is a lovable perv, when Steiner is the butt of a joke it doesn't feel arbitrary or mean either, which is really good. Many games fall victim to that, but not here.
10: The battle system (whatever it was called) is one of the best turn-based systems Square Enix has implemented, allowing for clever strategy and forcing you to be careful and aware of what and who is next, especially for the tougher fights, but it doesn't feel unfair even at its worst. The spheregrid is kind of... odd, not bad, but not amazing? I liked it, but I also am in the camp of "big numbers go brrrr" so...
11: Never played.
12: The world feels big, vast, with deep history. You don't often feel like big grand heroes who can take down gods with ease, which while some may like that, others may not. Still, might be for you. The license board is an interesting idea, though I personally feel it could have been executed better, I do understand the idea and can appreciate what they were going for. There's a lot of nuance to the characters, no one in the party feels truly "good" initially, but they all get time to show their true colors. (except for Vaan and Penelope, but this is about positives not negatives)
I haven't played the 13 trilogy, 14, or 15.
Thank you for your insightful comment! 💯
Technically Final Fantasy 2 introduced Dragoons (in the case of Ricard), but they wouldn't have the jump ability they are known for until Final Fantasy 3. Just thought I'd point that out. Maybe everyone thought Kain was the first dragoon due to Final Fantasy 2 not being released in the U.S at the time and 4 was called 2 back then.
All these years I've been pronouncing Tidus name wrong lol I thought it's pronounced as "tai-dus"
Don't worry bro, we've all been there. That still do sound better and I will never correct anyone who says his name that way.
I always thought it was supposed to be "tai-dus" because then his name would be a pun on "tide" which would make sense given he plays an aquatic sport.
Why did you skip mentioning the soundtrack for FF XIII? Its miles better than the tracks of FF XII.
My bad, I missed writing something for it when I was finishing up the script. It was one of the last parts, and my brain must have been half asleep.
If I had to add a part about FF13 music, I would say that it has one of the best battle music of all time, and I could even consider it for the top spot in all of Final Fantasy.
FF III introduced the dragoon job class before FF IV.
Addressed this already in the pinned comments and description. But hey, I'm always thankful for the extra engagement 🫡👌
It's funny since you listed the action system in 2 and Blitzball in X in the worst things list too
Hehe, that is actually the point of this video series. Sometimes, the worst aspects can actually be the best when viewed from a different perspective, and vice versa. These two contrasting videos often share common elements, demonstrating that while some may enjoy certain aspects, others may not, highlighting diverse preferences.
Ff10 best thing is Auron...
Agreed. My bad
Yes. The only FF character that is better than him is Vivi imo
Why not include FF11 and FF14 they are great games too and at time of this video FF14 is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary since it’s rebirth
FFX one of the best games ever!
Eruyt village is the best track in FFXII.
Final Fantasy 8 has some of the most beautiful scenarios, scenes and musics in the whole series. Even the story is one of the best
💯
Was it the first one you played?
@@elseabe6561 Are you suggesting that there is bias for every FF people played first?
@@keyos1955 yes especially if you were young
@@elseabe6561 Right, then it could be why FF7 got all this accolades and FF8 has been overcriticized by the FF7 fanboys? I think so. Moreover, the concept of first game experience could be extendend, and we can take into consideration the fact that FF7 was the first FF with 3D models in the new generation of videogames. So even people who already experienced previous ff titles could have been more positive to the new FF7. It would explain a lot of things
ff7 = gold saucer ff8 = triple triad ff9= tetra master ff10 = blitzball
Cid was mentioned in FF 1, so you COULD say he started there
He wasn't mentioned in the original NES game, the text was added in a modern port so he will be in each game haha. But yes, we COULD say it since it's added now.
Kuya sobrang nakaka relate po yung story mo ang galing ng narration mo taga manila ka din po?
Secret walang clue 🤣✌
Yes but you left out two of the best ones (11 and 14) Which are in fact mainline games
Final fantasy VI (6) is THE best ff game.
No argument
i dont know. i think its kinda sad to not see 11 or 14 as mainline games. if your not gunna cover them you should say so in the vid not in the comments
Decisive battle was 6 not 5. Dragoons were introduced in 2 not 4. You should have expected this
Yup, I've already addressed the issue with the dragoons in several other comments - my bad ✌
As for the Decisive Battle OST, Final Fantasy 5 has its own you know 😁
How can you talk about FF15's amazing soundtrack and NOT mention the final version of Hellfire during the battle with Ifrit? That soundtrack is absolutely incredible.
Too many to mention
@@blastfromthepastgaming Practically every soundtrack in FF15 is a masterpiece. Yoko Shimomura did a fantastic job with the soundtrack in that game
What happened to FF XI and XIV?
V is my favorite hands down Ex-Death is treated like a real threat long before he shows up and continues to be one until the final battle.
ExDeath is very underrated. I think he's the only villain who is portrayed as the big bad from the beginning of the story to the end.
@10:52 its actually pronounced "eye-fa" tree. Its spelled with 2 "i"s.
Iifa tree.
Good to know. Thanks!
My top 3 is VIII, X, VII
Thanks for sharing! almost the same as mine 😁
I really wish I could play Earth 2.0's version of FF15.
Only ff x makes me cry😢
The best part of FF 8 and 13 for me was that when I finally beat them I didn't have to play them ever again!
Bro you said the best thing about FFII was also the worst thing
Hehe, that is actually the point of this video series. Sometimes, the worst aspects can actually be the best when viewed from a different perspective, and vice versa. These two contrasting videos often share common elements, demonstrating that while some may enjoy certain aspects, others may not, highlighting diverse preferences.
“Kain is the first dragoon”
Ricard: 🧍🏼

I know I’m going to get crap for this because it’s not included, as is stated, but I think for me FF14 has the best story of any final fantasy game. I honestly didn’t believe an MMORPG could have a good story because they never had but I started playing a year ago and got all the way to the end of the story (Endwalker) and it now is my #1 FF story and had the best villains. Aside from Kefka that is :)
Yeah, I keep hearing about its great story in the comments for the past few days (didn't know that before). I'll try it out soon enough, for sure! 💯
@@blastfromthepastgaming it’s essentially a single player story with online elements.
Just came here to check on FF8 …. ❤ ❤❤ there is Ultima power/magic in all FF….. But there is only one Ultimecia 😊…. FF7 with its wrenching schene lol what the hell is that 😅…. is one of those over popular things that i don’t get it “….. like Starbucks, New York…..”
Ahh so you're another one of the crybabies who can't accept other people liking other games different from yours . So you loved FF8 right? Why don't you go over and watch my Ranking of My top 10 most favorite Final Fantasy games to know what I think about it: ruclips.net/video/am7QzoadwZo/видео.html
Bro really praised everything he complained about in the other video 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Haha, guess you didn't get the gist of it, that is actually the point of this video series. Sometimes, the worst aspects can actually be the best when viewed from a different perspective, and vice versa. These two contrasting videos often share common elements, demonstrating that while some may enjoy certain aspects, others may not, highlighting diverse preferences. It includes my input as well as the community as a whole.
There are so many videos about Final Fantasy already so I tried different approaches to change things up 👌🤣
Great video!
Thanks!
I'm very happy you didn't include ff7r thank God lol
FF7 Remake is featured here: ruclips.net/video/yJQyjTX3dss/видео.html
The "worst thing" version is gonna be uploaded later.
Saying blitzball was addictive is wild
Yup, I poured a lot of hours on it and reached the top 😂👌
Yeah I played it once when the story made me do it and never, EVER played it again 😅
