In case anyone is curious: The song at 4:10 is 'Final Fantasy' - Nobuo Uematsu Phantasmagoria The song at 4:25 is 'Roaming Sheep' - Final Fantasy 3 (Because I spent entirely too long looking for them, and don't want anyone else to have to do that.)
FF4 Japanese commercial: Here's some girl cosplaying as Rosa for 30 seconds. FF4 US commercial: FF4 is a game that takes half a year to complete! These definitely make me want to buy the game.

They didn't "fail" because I don't think they were trying "to get the tone," but rather make a commercial that makes the game look fun. The Japanese commercial focuses on how fun the Chocobos are by showing footage of their real-life equivalent, ostriches. The American commercial emphasizes that the game is long and addicting. If anyone "completely fail to get the tone," it's you. And how is the tone of the ads the opposite of "brilliant"?
Wtf..I've been Playing Final Fantasy for 25+ years with IV being my favorite..and I NEVER knew they had an American Final Fantasy IV commercial until now.
He is pretty OP when you first meet him. As far as late-game, give him the Offering and a Ribbon, Paladin Shield and Aura Lance (strongest base atk in the game for a non elemental weapon), any helmet that seems good except the Thornlet, and a Snow Muffler. Congratulations Mog is now Nigh-Invincible. You can also teach him any magic you want too. And if you boost his stats using Espers, then that just makes him more invincible.
@@The_Gallowglass the guy that made the final fantasy 6 (and some other final fantasy) artwork likes to make every character blonde. Pink hair? Blonde. Green hair? Blonde.
@@joaonitro5149 It comes down to cartoons. They often make each character colored differently so as to be easily distinguishable to children. Then you see the realistic artwork and CGI and they tend to have more realistic hair colors.
Thr Final Fantasy III Super NES ad was the reason I got into FF. Seeing a Moogle for some reason made me super interested in the game. Then the box art popped up and that's when I asked for the game. Few weeks later I got it and it was all I played. Over. And over. Again. To this day it's my favorite video game of all time and my favorite game series. Thank you FFIII! (actually Final Fantasy VI just misnumbered in the western og release of VI as III due to most ff titles not in the west at the time)
I watched a ton of TV as a kid and I never once saw a commercial for a Super Nintendo game. Constantly saw Game Boy game commercials (the one with Wario hypnotizing the viewer) but never anything else. Was it a regional thing? Did other parts of the america get the SNES commercials?
The ostrich for ff 4 was..a killer lol~ well at least it reddemed somehow on the one with the Motorbike~ I like one of the FFT commercials not bad I guess. The chronicles were good I think~ And also Mar-che~? thought it was Marche with silent 'e' haha~
*ostrich running on a beach* *people laughing like idiots while the black chocobo theme plays* Yep. That makes me want to rush out and buy the game right now.
Ok the one with the bird for final fantasy iv made no sense but... when they did the one for final fantasy iv advance, did the girl return to the same beach ?
These are so unrelated, nonsensical, cheesy, and generally awful, so much so they do a 180 and become kinda enjoyable. also that 2nd Final Fantasy Tactics video has a resolution lesser than that of a Gameboy Camera. I'm not even making a joke.
True but it's about the way it's advertised. The Japanese ones are creative, witty and intriguing enough for you to take interest in the game. The American ones are goofy af and too gimmicky. It wouldn't stop me from buying then but the difference between the commercials are night and day.
Did we just watch the same video? There is a japanese commercial of an ostrich. It runs across the beach. That's it. That's supposed to make you buy their game? Then there's the one with a demon face poking through a hole. Something like a casting call with a Moogle judging monsters by scariness at least makes some semblance of sense....
That Final Fantasy 3 US commercial is WEIRD!! no wonder the game didn't do well in North America. I couldn't tell if it was a comedy/horror theme game from that ad. Horrible!

I love how the representation of a Chocobo in the commercials is literally just a normal-ass ostrich
They are the real-life equivalent.

2:10 Show of hands, who wanted OP Mog in III, let alone a Final Fantasy game?

That MOG has to be the voice for cait/reeve in ff7r
It works so well
4:14 That was cool. She makes a good Terra.
But why is she blond
@@therealmckoy6772 Looks a tiny bit green to me. Terra is often depicted as blonde in some of her more realistic artwork.

I love this one.

Lol im scary jjajaja
Who doesn't love OP Mog?
Looks like a parody from robot chicken

Pfffffft!!!! that Final Fantasy Tactics Advance commercial at 5:06 was hilarious. I sort of want to play the game again.
same i got the feeling after watching that
Square Enix's PR team for FFIV:
"Ostrich."
*leaves*

4:06 Anyone know where I can find this version of The Theme of Love. it's epic.
+D Sid I think it's from "Final Fantasy IV Celtic Moon"
+D Sid Final Fantasy Phantasmagoria
1:55 “Wa weew!! Wa weew!!” - that guy’s dad
Mog's too hilarious...
*NEXT!*
I really loved the advanced tactics one XD. Has anyone tried to call the number? What happened when you called?
Okay those FF5 ads are kinda good. That game is a light hearted romp
The first one unironically had potential to be a good tv series
Hold on, is that The Black Mages' lead guitarist in 5:55? I mean, he was a part of the marketing department until 2016ish, but still...
See I never remember the laughing chocob-ostrich until its already too late.
What is that bird doing in the commercial ??? XDDD
+KittyCate105 It's a real life chocobo :P
+The Lifestream so a chocobo is a ostrich?
Ostrich are descendants of bigger runner birds, they were literally chocobos.
The laugh with the ostrich running made me die laughing.
thats the inspiration behind chocobo period
Love how they play the original ff6 music for the GBA trailer, not misleading at all xD
Better than Final Fantasy xv a new empire ads
I would love if I could find these commercials by themselves.
lol mog is a sith lord in III
I got a KFC ad at the start and was very confused
The FF Ostrich commercials are so funny as just pure random nonsense
"So how should we sell ff4-"
"CHOCOBOS!"
"... you genius"
Wow that Terra cosplay at 4:21 looks like Daenerys Targaryen. I would like to see her up close and maybe shake hands and maybe more things.
There is creepy, then there is really creepy!
Danny B you sound like you’re some divorced 50 year old man going through a mid-life crisis.
She looks like real life version of Terra.
4:10 & 4:25 Name of the songs please ;3
4:10 is 'Final Fantasy' - Nobuo Uematsu Phantasmagoria
4:25 is 'Roaming Sheep' - Final Fantasy 3
2:39 KIWI!
Was the commercial for 1 and 2 the first occurrence of the prelude harmony?
2:06 this may have led to the Robot Chicken style
Who got a Final Fantasy ad before this vid
i love american commercials for old games
They didn't have to say *shit* back then; they knew you were buying it.
4:14 where can I find that background music?
Uematsu's Phantasmagoria IIRC
'Final Fantasy' - Nobuo Uematsu Phantasmagoria

Thanks for this.
Thag broad in the ff4a ad was fine.
04:24 what song is this?
'Roaming Sheep' - Final Fantasy 3
00:58 se supone que vendría a ser un chocobo?
"yeah, final fantasy iv is sure a fun game"
happy 33rd anniversary final fantasy!!! :3
what song plays at 0:36
Watchin this in 2020 Oct. Hahahahaha
Mog judging monsters is so op
The ostrich for ff 4 was..a killer lol~ well at least it reddemed somehow on the one with the Motorbike~ I like one of the FFT commercials not bad I guess. The chronicles were good I think~
And also Mar-che~? thought it was Marche with silent 'e' haha~
got any more pixels?
>ostrich running on a beach

Kek my dudes
The ostrich
Can anyone tell me what the hell square was thinking when they made most of these
Drugs
Many Asian things look cringy to the westerners...
I've got goosebumps.
You dont fuck, with the Mog.

4:47 Funny how they used a DS on a Game Boy Advance game lol (I know It runs GBA games)
What is the name of the song at 4:13
'Final Fantasy' - Nobuo Uematsu Phantasmagoria
These games need Proper remakes over FF7
Lol good luck with that
@@tangiblemammal5273 look. Square Enix know as long FF7 makes money the fans will eat it up like Goku at a Buffet
@@WindyREDPanda they wont be turn based, that's for sure.
@@tangiblemammal5273 There have been quite a few great turn-based RPGs in recent years, so I don't believe it's totally out of the question.

Thank you, chocobo. You made the video look like a joke video.
Yeah... Game Boy!

These marketing people never played the game.
Oh would it kill ya to put them in THE RIGHT ORDER FFS
when final fantasy use to be good and fun to play. good times. RIP FF.
FF is still a blast idk wtf you’re talking about
6:31 São Paulo ?!
Detroit?
Wow, they spoiled the final boss in the ff4 trailer (they even told that it was the end of the game).
Wonderswan HAAA!
Ok the one with the bird for final fantasy iv made no sense but... when they did the one for final fantasy iv advance, did the girl return to the same beach ?
That was a Ostrich not a bird.
😂😂😂😂
well you my not use my attack
Mewt is my name, feel free to call... Otherwise I may become IRRITABLE!!
I didn't know there were commercials but then I didn't watch the shows that they appeared with.
Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs \o/ !

Man, the American commercials of Final Fantasy are terrible. 😆
They show about as much gameplay as the Japanese ones...

the final fantasy 3 commercial its actually pretty good
Daniel Mears tbh some of these commercials are flat out terrible, and don't sell a product.
Dafuq
1 to 6 were the best final fantasys for me vii is shit it doesn't deserve enough attention
You only think that because of nostalgia. 7 was a masterpiece and one of the best games ever made
Steve Osczevski correct
You are a clown, none of them had as many weapons, summon, magic, and locations as 7 did. Even after none of them did.
That Final Fantasy 3 US commercial is WEIRD!! no wonder the game didn't do well in North America. I couldn't tell if it was a comedy/horror theme game from that ad. Horrible!
