Final Fantasy Summary
FF I: Restore the orbs and fight a villian
FF II: Stop an evil empire
Coralianblue20 FF iii: talk to crystals and stop a flood of darkness
"IT TURNS OUT GUY SPEAKS BEAVER" only in JRPG, my friends :D
Potential adult humor? :P
IAmCharizard lol I was kind of waiting for that comment to happen xD
this is like the most epic twist in the 80's gameing
Phrasing
i have to say these RECAPitation videos are so much fun to watch and i think you do an amazing job at them. Keep up the fantastic work.
+Justin Ledfoot
for me they are better than the actual games.
Ewok Rothaar
It saves me time to actually play some of the games that I never touched if you ask me :)
No One you gotta find a emulator for 6. It still holds up as one of the best games ever.
the emperor actually killed the devil in final fantasy II that's why is referred to as the Emperor of hell
FF2 is such an underrated game. Its story, as simple as it is, deserves to be told, and I'm glad there are videos like this that do just that.
ZealSeraph I kinda agree with you about the game. History is nice, always have something going on with the world, rebellion and stuff, you can interact with other npcs by keywords and items, but...
All the training you need to do specially when learning new spell is awful.
It's star wars.
I agree I actually like FF2 more than 1,3,13 and even 15.
@@user-fy3oy4vo9m the story is basically A New Hope
The book explains that guy was raised by creatures before he was found by other humans. That's why he can speak animal languages
I am a fan mr. Onimage. I listen to your videos while working and most of the games that you do a recapitation are my kind of games. Please keep it up. I know gamers like us will always find their way to your videos and appreciate your efforts ♡
Review this game that was the start of a long list of Final Fantasy staples: Chocobos, Cid, and party member death! #finalfantasy
Also Mini and Toad!!!
+Oni Black Mage In the PSP version, you also have a battle with The Emperor in his Angel form.
Can you please (Explain WHAT IS) or (RECAPitate) the (Final Fantasy Dissidia) series?
and the monsters bomb and malboro
Holy shit man a lot of people die in this one. XD
love the PSP port has a second story showing what all the dead characters get up to.
@@CardCaptorDeadpool The GBA version also had that
This story is far more complicated than the first, i have a hard time catching up but overall still amazing
I remembered the story perfectly.
Perhaps you just don't have a strong memory.
@@gavinlucas9761 This person doesn't deserve such a harsh reply.
Perhaps you can just be a little nicer.
@@Wil-vd2mc your right, sorry, this comment was over a year ago and my aditude has changed a lot since then so I'm trying my best not to come off too harsh.
@@gavinlucas9761 It's okay, we're not all perfect, but I'm proud of your progress and I encourage you as well. Stay strong 🔥
@@Wil-vd2mc yeah I'm currently replaying these games. and I'm in the 7th one right now.
And FF II, I think is a really underrated game in the series.
10:50
The Hilda they rescued from the Warship was a WHAT?
this story has more deaths than Hamlet lol
jeez, even at the start of the game you die. Minwu dies, Cid dies, Ricard dies, Josef dies, the king dies, even the emperor himself died lol
Yet people act like Aeris/Aerith was the first to die in a Final Fantasy....
to be fair, FF7 is where it all went mainstream. growing up, i remember when RPG's were a rather niche genre.
Aerith was also a lot more developed as a character by the point of her death, adding to the significance. This game was just a "Oh look, my latest temporary companion died again. Wonder who's the replacement now?" loop.
Tei Sure, I agree. I think it was a more significant death than the ones in this game. (Though I took the death in FFV pretty hard. Lol)
However;
My issue is there's people that think Aerith was the FIRST death in a Final Fantasy game, which is false. It wouldn't grind my gears if it were only regular people but I've read reviews from actual websites and a magazine (one) that stated it was an important moment because it was the first death of a party member in Final Fantasy. As a longtime fan, that was blasphemous. Lol
I did start on ff7, fell in love with the franchise from there and went back to replay the translated japanese roms of the earlier games when I had a PC. So order of playing may have added more significant to Aerith for me personally.
But yeah, she totally wasn't the first death in the franchise regardless of how much focus/importance the game put on it. People who haven't played, or even know about, a franchise shouldn't be pretending to be experts on it I definitely agree with you there! I haven't read those reviews, or i'd of raged out in their comments and lost a lot of respect for their editors.
I remember the black and white masks took me forever to get. The dungeons were confusingly maze-like and incredibly long (in terms of number of random encounters). Or maybe it's just me.
The first two game stories aren't anything to write home about. But FF2 does a really great job at setting up conflicts since the story is focused on the battles that span the continents. I just wish we saw more of Emperor Palamecia. He only had two or three scenes in this game, and it kinda hurts his oppressive stature as this evil figure who desires nothing but ruling the world.
Underrated masterpiece.
This deserves a revisit(ation?) With the pixel remasters!
What a story!!! Good work, man. I wanna go back and play this game now :)
This was great! Thanks for making this vid!
idk what it is but i love this music more than any other ff
Check out Symphonic Suite if you haven't already. You'll be happy.
15:26 sounds like Pokemon music
Just found your channel and I really am enjoying your content.
thanks for this review! its so helpful
I really love your content. Keep going please!!!!!
Man if this game gained 3d remake it Will become darker ff
one of the first final fantasy games I played
It's a good game.
@@gavinlucas9761 I can't remember the precise order but the first three final fantasy games I ever played was six two and one I don't know if I can remember the precise order I played them in tho.
@@AncapOtaku fair enough, I actually like this more than 1, and I'm playing it again.
@@gavinlucas9761 i liked the first one alittle more then the second
@@AncapOtaku That's easy to see why, I think personally I liked the 2nd since It had a bit more character and story.
Pluss It also has the Chocobo and Cid introduce.
and I also like the state growth since I'm haft way though and Guy hits enemies at 3500 Damage...with his fists.
The gaming experience wasn’t good.
But! The story is amazing
5:04 This pre-dates “You spoony bard”
Once I got used to it, I really enjoyed the leveling system in FF2.
Do you also like Vaseline on toast?
I like the way you say Firion lol.
Firi *on*
Firi *off*
Meme potential
I just bought the online version of final fantasy XIV a realm reborn and finished also XII and now I am Busy with X before I start with XIII, XIII-2, Lightning returns and so on to XV.and however the critcs, for me it always was a new challenge full of surprises. I still lok for Final Fantasy- cerberus
dirge of cerberus?
To be fair, "crushed under the might of Ultima" (around the 15:25 mark), I believe the original version of FF2 has a bug purposely put in it as sort of a gag that made Ultima an overall underwhelming and weak spell compared to the remakes (where said bug was removed).
This was perfect. Thanks
Hey, I'm not sure if you're gonna see this, nor am I sure if you're gonna reply, but are you thinking of doing Final Fantasy II: Soul of Rebirth?
+Swagtastic Vladimir Putin Hm, I might. It wouldn't be long, that's for sure.
Guy speaks Beaver. lul
Wait what.
I thought you had to use the four dead guys to kill the Emperor in heaven too? Was that only in a remake?
DGneoseeker1 that's the soul of rebirth. Its like extra content available only for later remakes
these videos are so cozy
Very nice. Will you recap the one game that's a sequel to this, showing the opposition to the emperor's light side? Forgot its name...
I just started playing this. Really good. But like the insight
I see a pattern between the two games, let's watch more and see if it keeps going
Imma learn how to speak Beaver now.
this will be my next one to play. I missed some FFs because of the japan release only ones.
Awsome video but can you do a small recap of the final fantsy 2 dawn of souls and the side story soul of rebirth
6:45
Vietery!
The advanced remake makes leveling up/ getting stronger easier... So I trained a lot where some of the easy bosses are just common enemies elsewhere and it was easy.
I guess some people had max stats before reaching the Emperor (first fight) though ^^;
I do like the additional game to explain what becomes of the fallen heroes though :D
I also see a lot of influence or callbacks in the classic games that are found in the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius :P
I played the TES series. It was inspired by FFII level system.
But Leon never explain why he joined the empire? And then he suddenly on side with Fynn. What was his motive? That was a black part in this story. To be the ruler of the world?. I still don't get it. Overall this game is superb and I had a good time playing it.
Plot: 10/10

i have the psp verison of this game you think it's worth a playthrough?
Why does this remind me so much of Star Wars?
The Emperor = proto-Kefka
Were the kid twins and old wizard dude not in the original game? because I played the psp version.
+LucarioForm You're thinking Palom/Porom, and Tellah in the American release FF2, which was actually FF4.
+Oni Black Mage oh my bad x.x I haven't played these games since I was in middle school so I forgot haha. Thanks for the quick reply!
LucarioForm I'm the true one :D
don't forget that afther de death of shin, he goes to defeat emperor by himself in the afther life, that's in the psp version
FF2's plot >> its successor FF3
CatatonicComplex Levelling system in every FF game ever apart from 2 >>>>> FF2's levelling system.
I liked the leveling system in FF2.
@@chubbycatfish4573 FF2 leveling system = SaGa leveling system
@@rosemarydwitasari4693 pretty much lol. not actually that bad tbh. its chill
Lol. It's so weird that the 2nd installment had a more RPG-like at least somewhat multi-choice dialogue system, and like even part 15 doesn't.
Dark Knight... Black Mask... Is it just me or is there a batman theme here?
I get that the battle mechanics and level design suck, but I mean, I kinda like the game. The story is surprisingly mature for an NES title, and becoming god after like 20 minutes of grinding is pretty fun, ngl.
In the end, there are 4 people image, should be Minwu Josef Richard and Scott , not cid
Because Soul of reborn
How many hours did this take to finish?
+Prentice Small The game or the video?
about 20 hours without grinding or atleast 25~26 hours, so k
minhu is like tellah but actaully was useful(souls of rebirth)
Yeah Minhu/Minwu is one of the most badass FF characters - and the only male white mage in an FF game that doesn't have the job change system
***** He's also one of the few who's black in all versions
jacoub farah That's right!
And the first to die due to magic limitbreaks(not enough mp/meteo)
Also the Mystic knight job is based of off Minwu in FF5
what is Final Fantasy II... it's a game with a good story, but a crappy leveling up system
"Never underestimate a female."
O.O
This game had the best overall feel, despite the shitty graphics it was really gritty. I wish they would remake.
honestly they should've started remakes starting at #1. i think it would've been a lot better that way
Uhh, you mean 3d remake?
@@akeyrtainment8507 I would love to see a full on proper remake similar to what was done with 7. FF2 felt like reading a first draft script of what could become a great film.
Take the opening scene of the heroes being chased through the forest by evil solders on horse back, in the original game this looks pretty crap, just a basic forest back drop and four pictures of guys on horses but with modern production values this would make an epic moment. The whole game has these moments that don't look special but if they were worked on would really surprise people.
Wait Mysidia?!
Does that mean that this is before or after Final Fantasy IV?
more like, ES just re used that name
Shit so this is where malboros were born why final fantasy? why did you create malboros?
unm cnlhmhb lhftdk rtladkhmf To be a reference to Malboro cigarettes, and how bad they are for one's health. Lol
streetough is it true?
Of course it's true, it's the internet :D
What's this interesting plant? I'm going to smell it's scent, oh shit I now have Aids, Ebola and leprosy.
I imagine it does have something to do with cigarettes since Marlboro’s signature move in FF is bad breath, which is a common affliction of smokers.
In short dont join firion’s party or you die
Do you plan on making a RECAPitation for Final Fantasy XI, or should I try to do that myself?
+Justus White Unfortunately, I have no intention of playing the MMO games, so I'll be skipping those.
+Oni Black Mage Okay, then I'll do it, despite the fact that I have no access to the game whatsoever. I'm sure RUclips footage is all I need.
I'm guessing this was a lot more difficult than you had anticipated? lol
IAmCharizard What was a lot more difficult? Here, let me look at.......oh, did I say I'd do that? Yeah, no. I never even started. Why didn't I delete that comment yet?
Justus White hahaha yeah I just checked your page to look for it and noticed you hadn't made it yet :P
The thief is Paul not pael.
Wait is Richard highwinds son kain ?
Yes but there different universes
The music drowns out your voice. =(
The story uh Star wars
10:53 FUCK
Guy speaks Beaver lmao
I know it has been more than a year but shouldnt it be 'Recapitulation'?
+Hjominbonrun I assumed it was a deliberate pun with "decapitate." "Cut it down to size" and all.
+htmlelf This guy gets it :)
Why puuuuueeellll why it's just Paul
Where's FF VI
+Zinkyeal I know right!
seven seconds in, and all I can say so far is this wasn't released on the NES.
Eric In Japan, yes it was. Perhaps you're thinking of Final Fantasy 4, which was ported to the US as FF2 on SNES
#CatalogCatchup
Dark Knight -> Leon
bruh, its not Adaman'toys' its Adaman'tus'. Pronounced just like tortois.
