I have a special guest: JOHNNY MILLENIUM! We take a trip down memory lane and remember why we got into JRPGs. We're totally serious the whole time. No, Really....
Phantasy Star was my step into JRPGs. I would go over to my cousin's house who was 10 years older than me and I would watch him play. Great times and memories...RIP Jamie
These guys are real friends I really like how Johnny helping Robman as we know his circumstances Johnny trying to support Robman 💪🏼 that’s what real friends do
Two legends. Amazing adventures. Rpg's have a foundation of bringing friends together. Whether it's tabletop, or adventure titles. But the memories last a lifetime too. Thanks for this awesome video My journey with rpgs began with the original Final Fantasy on the NES. I rented it for a weekend, had some friends over. We took turns figuring out strategies, and seeing where the adventure lead.
For me, it was my friend Matt and his older brother, they were both big into RPGs whereas me and my older brother were always into action titles like Mega Man and Castlevania. Matt get me started with Final Fantasy 2 on the SNES when I was 10 years old, and over the course of a summer I borrowed pretty much all of their RPGs. I played through FF2 and 3, Breath of Fire, and Chrono Trigger that year, and I was hooked on JRPGs after that, especially on the PS1.
Aren’t it always the friends? :D For me it also was a good friend of mine and his older brother and they played FF8 on the good old PS1 when I came over one day. And after looking at it for five minutes I was hooked! 😅
@@CharlieTooHuman I was the guy who introduced a Matt to the world of gaming 30+ years ago. Had no idea of the chain of events I was setting into motion. 😂
Perosna 3 is the game that made me fall in love with rpgs. Just the story and how fleshed out the characters where. I had never seen anything like it before. I honestly didn't know that games could make me feel emotional like P3 did
It was 5th grade and I loved my Super Nintendo but never played an RPG in my life. I was into Mario, Mega Man X, & Final Fight. Then a new friend I made comes over to my house for the very first time with the holy trinity of RPGs: Chrono Trigger, EarthBound and Secret of Mana. He was explaining how these games worked and it just blew my mind. Before he left, he said I could borrow one of them, so I picked Secret of Mana because it was more of an Action RPG, it had co-op and matched more of what I was into at the time. It was the game that really started the addiction for the rest of my life.
I remember sleeping over at my friends house when he had monster rancher, now this thing about this game was you could put in random cds and youd get different monsters, so id bring over like 20 random music cds, just to see what monsters wed get. fun times
Oh man, I did this. I didn't have many CD's, but I would go through my Dad's and my older brothers CD. I got some really strong Nagas and was pumped. Now that I'm older I wonder if it was random or if it even mattered which disk. Lol I never tried the same one twice.
is that world famous Happy Console Gamer! i wonder how you got him on the show.. jk, i love that you started making videos again, hope the foot it healing nicely robman
Ys on Master System was my first. Just the feeling that there was this little world for me to explore. I used to think, wow, imagine if you could see this world through that little guy's eyes. Now we have 3D and even VR but, dammit, why do I feel there's something missing that was present in those old 2D games? Is it just nostalgia? Or was imagining those worlds far greater than they could ever be as polygons? My grandad who was born in 1910 used to say he preferred radio to TV because the pictures in his head were more engaging. I dunno. Great episode guys and looking forward to more Rob Man Worlds!
I’ve always wondered the same exact thing! I think the imagination is just so powerful that we feel that way, newer games just aren’t the same sometimes!
This video had me smiling the whole way through! For me what got me into jrpgs was persona 4 golden. Getting a vita, I realized there were no games for it, but the internet told me persona 4 was a must. It’s been a good 4-5 years going back and playing everything I missed. Great vid!
I've found as I get older, I just enjoy how much more chill it is to play a turn based JRPG. Most action games require a lot of attention and reflex, but playing a turn base RPG, you can take it more methodically and take in the world. Exploring is fun, grinding is relaxing, and the best part for me, is JRPGs always have some of the most incredible music. Those 90s and early / mid 2000s RPGs have soundtracks that stick with me forever.
Great video Rob! I recently made the move to RUclips and it's been a blast. The rush of adrenaline and satisfaction I get when I upload my creations is so addictive and fun! I hope your channel will grow and you'll have fun with it too along the ride!!!
For me, the first JRPG I played was Final Fantasy on the NES, but it wasn't until the SNES and games like Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire, Secret of Mana, Earthbound, FFIII(VI), and the Lufia series that I got hooked. The PS1 era continued that love and definitely cemented it for me. It truly was a great time to be alive. Anyway, congratulations again on the fantastic channel. I am very much looking forward to seeing more from you, and am glad to be along for the ride.
Rob Man, your video has really lifted my spirits. Thank you for that. My introduction into RPGs was Breath of Fire and Final Fantasy 8, but I wasn't really much of a fan of games until the earlier 2010s that they clicked with me because I randomly decided to hook up my old PS2 and SNES. I grew so attached to so many games, and the music to them has inspired me for years to this day that I'm currently in University studying sound. It's funny how much games can shape your life. I'm really looking forward to seeing your next episodes!
So great See RobMan and Johnny on the show together You both ROCK! And remind me of my younger years and gaming with my buddies like the Bums we where. Rpgs are my favorite and what really started my collection. my first was actually Final Fantasy 1 on the NES. Got it for christmas one year from my Uncle along with Legend of Zelda and Little Mermaid. Funny story when me and my sisters got our gifts that year my uncle for got which was which and you wont believe the one that had my name on it. YES! It was Little Mermaid LOL.
My older brother got me into JRPG's. I have two siblings, one older and the other younger, the eldest sibling is a huge fan of JRPG's and the system that we got to experience it in was the SNES. As most siblings do, we would watch each other play, one time we went to Blockbuster and rented Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan) and I just recall being completely mouth agape when we saw the snow sequence with Terra's theme. Simply amazing. After that it was Chrono Trigger, the first JRPG I beat on my own.
Great memories... For me was different growing up in South America there was no Spanish RPGs... So language was a huge barrier so I grew up in the Snes era and loved beat em ups and platformers... Eventually I tried a game name Pokémo Red.. Without realizing I was enjoying it and understanding the mechanics and got used to the slow paced style and open my love for Role Playing ... Years later I'm still on a quest to beat those 16 bit RPJs and is just amazing to experience those titles years later for the first time... Keep it up Rob
Oh man. I thought I’d get here and there wouldn’t already be a billion comments - so stoked you’ve started the show. The enthusiasm you and I have for gaming and perhaps more than that, the nostalgia, is infectious. Makes me feel less weird having my “room” decorated wall to wall with all the stuff that I loved as a kid. Keep it up - at some point it’ll probably be a bit of a grind, but remember there are people out there (me) that borderline depend on seeing you guys take trips down memory lane to combat the doldrums. To answer the question, I spent a week each summer with my cousins on their family farm and my older cousin was playing FF3(6) on the SNES, and while he wouldn’t ever let me play, I couldn’t stop watching him and going on the adventure vicariously. Funnily enough, he did let me play his old NES, where I discovered Zelda - and while not really an RPG, it was a close cousin (I’m here all week) and that started the tangible mini obsession.
I just think that both your channels are so interesting and endearing. As a Yorkshire man (and knowing Johnny has Yorkshire heritage) I just really love you guys as Canadians because you are both my kind of people. Content is great too. Looking forward to more Rob!
My first foray into JRPG was Pokemon Red, then Yellow. I remember just being thrown into a world with almost no instruction and just walking around figuring out what to do and customizing my different parties, training them, etc and I would play this with my older brother. It was magical. A few years later, Final Fantasy VII fell into our laps and we would do the same with this game, except we were so immersed in the story it was insane. We got stuck at one point and our Disc 1 broke before we could beat it, so it was the end of an era for us. I still loved Cloud and Aeris and all the characters and I remembered the fondly until the emulation era finally allowed me to play the game and finish it for myself. I played some RPGs in between those two times, on my GBA, but I didn't truly fall in love with the genre until I got an R4 for my DS and played literally every RPG I discovered. I didn't finish most of them, but that was my first time playing other FF games, DQ, SMT (my 3 fav series), as well as Chrono Trigger, more Pokemon games and Spinoff, etc etc. I played almost everything, even the bad games.
Awesome episode! Some tips: bad eco, you need to fix that. The lightning bounces from bottom and creates bad shadows. Fix the eco and find another area to bounce the light from, or add an extra spot. Love you guys!
When Pokémon Red had come out I fell massively in love with it. I didn’t know there was anything else like it. A friend of mine lent me a little game called Final fantasy 7. The rest is history. Going back and playing all the old final fantasy’s through the Ps1 collections. Wild arms, Chrono trigger & cross, Dragon warrior. It really was a magical time. Still am obsessed with JRPG’s to this day. Love the Chanel, keep up the awesome work Rob!!
A livestream with you guys level grinding a jrpg of your choice would be fun sometime i know you guys arent really into livestreams but still its an idea
I believe the game that got me into JRPGS was Final Fantasy 8. I remember my relatives when they came to visit they brought their copy and it was the first game I saw then with multiple discs. I was amazed by the CGI cutscens, the story and most importantly the summons. Since then, JRPGS have a special place in my heart.
When you guys bust out into the Dragon Warrior song like two drunken sailors, couldn't stop laughing. RobMan the sincerity of this subject and your guys' love for RPGs and the stories, it's infectious! Love it!
I think the first jrpg to truly hook me was FFX-2 oddly enough. I'd never played any of the others and had only grown up playing more action games like DKC on snes and Mario 64 on N64 so this was a completely foreign genre to me. I loved the idea of a huge story being told and like Johnny said being able to go on an adventure while sat at home alone was a nice concept. Seeing you guys in these videos always brings a huge smile to my face. You both just seem like such genuinely great people and its so cool to see your friendship. Thank you so much and I'm so gla dyoure truly getting into doing your own channel Rob!
As someone born in the late 90s and didn't get to experience games really before the 2000s, you guys have gotten me into so many games I wouldn't otherwise have tried thanks to your passion for them. Thank you!
The best Way of waking up is listening to rob and Johnny before going to work 😎 We didnt get so many rpgs to Sweden back in the days but secret of mana got me hooked. Anyways guys until next time
My first JRPG experience was the Final Fantasy 7 demo when I first got a PS1 in like late 1996? I played it so many times and when I finally got to play the full game I think I never was the same casual gamer again.
If I was given the chance to sit down and have a beer with anybody in the world, it would be with you guys hands down. The amount of passion, best friend history, and love for for games you two have is so extremely rare to see nowadays. Absolutely love these videos. Thank you for always including us viewers to hangout with you. It literally makes my day everytime 👍🏼
Final Fantasy on the NES was my start. I remember how cool it was that you could have a Black Belt or a Thief in your party. It was (and still is) such a full, fun game with some classic music and a great storyline. Instantly hooked ever since. Great to see Rob getting the channel up and running, best wishes to him for future success!!
Two great friends sitting and just talking video games. Always humbling to listen to you guys chat. Like many people, Pokemon was my gateway into JRPGs, which is my favourite gaming genre!
Sharing my JRPG Stories in here, my older brother got me into them because he was playing FFVII with his friend everyday and I would beg to come in and watch them being a kid and all and absolutely loved it, a few years later when 10 came out I got it for christmas and is still my favorite game to this day. Watched that same brother play through that, kingdom hearts 1 and 2... Those were the times
Been a big fan of you and Johnny since the early days of the RUclips gaming community. Really love seeing you two together and talking games. Take care Rob!
Yes!!! I've been looking forward to this episode since the last one! You two are the reason I've finally played and beat Phantasy Star, Dragon Quest 2, and now Dragon Quest 11.
I think I got into JRPGs playing Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III (i.e. Final Fantasy VI) at my friend's house; the one that lived in the same neighborhood. My first JRPG was Final Fantasy VII when I got it along with my PlayStation back in the 1990s. That was when I'd get so excited when the next ones came out by Square-Enix. I loved how back then I had more time but not as much money so I had to make every game count. JRPGs were perfect for that since they lasted.
Goddamn I loved this video. I could seriously sit around for hours and listen to these stories. Reminds me of me and my best friend basically doing the same thing in Los Angeles in the early 2000’s. You’ve already got a killer channel dude.
I got a DS and a copy of Pokémon Diamond back in 2007 when I was just 7 years old. Me and my older brother have so many memories pumping hundreds and hundreds of hours into the pokemon games. Some of my earliest and most nostalgic gaming memories. I still frequently revisit the game to pay my respects for the game that got me into gaming as a whole, and made me who I am today :)
FFVII for me. Got it at release when I was 15 having been into tabletop gaming and 80s/90s Anime the SciFi channel showed late nights that I recorded on VHS. I’d been gaming since NES, had all major consoles, master system, SNES etc but had always been action/platformers. FFVII honestly shaped me in so many ways as a gamer and a person. It truly helped me as a lonely only child! Still my favourite game of all time to this day and of course I went back to the consoles before and played through all the classic JRPGs of old. Magical to see you guys on the channel!
Its also probably the last AAA game in which internet wasnt a thing, and mobile phones wasnt "mainstream" yet. And even when you used your internet, the phone shut off in the house- so quiet in the hpuse and focused on the game. no phone calls, no internet. That was another cool thing with ff7, I learned most of the secrets of the game still by asking people back in school. Thats how I learned about the underwater materia for the weapon boss, and the chocobos for knights of the round. Or how to get Vincent.
You know...Johnny should start a RUclips channel too.
Funny 😁😁😁 I love it
He's so happy and into console games. Wonder what his handle could be
Gizmo John the Gamer 😉
Maybe Rob will inspire him.
For sure! Could be called the FunnyHatGamer!
My mind can't handle seeing John on the left and Rob on the right!
Right. My brain is hurting. 😅
Way to bring on smaller channels like HappyConsoleGamer to help them grow Rob, hopefully this Johnny guy will blow up somewhere 🙏🏽
HCG is not small by any means.
@@jackwest3282 That was the joke bud haha
@@jackwest3282 whoooosh
Phantasy Star was my step into JRPGs. I would go over to my cousin's house who was 10 years older than me and I would watch him play. Great times and memories...RIP Jamie
Robman’s laugh is both endearing and sinister
WOAH! That guy looks like Happy Console Gamer.
And that guy in the glasses is also cool 🤭
Love you dudes :D
I am 40, and listening to this brought back so many memories. The 80’s and 90’s were the best! Lord Bless you guys.
These guys are real friends
I really like how Johnny helping Robman as we know his circumstances Johnny trying to support Robman 💪🏼 that’s what real friends do
Fantastic. You have motivated me to FINALLY get gear and start making content. Love you and Johnny!
Do it! I just started myself, I'll be an early subscriber of yours. Long live gaming!
Two legends. Amazing adventures. Rpg's have a foundation of bringing friends together. Whether it's tabletop, or adventure titles. But the memories last a lifetime too. Thanks for this awesome video
My journey with rpgs began with the original Final Fantasy on the NES. I rented it for a weekend, had some friends over. We took turns figuring out strategies, and seeing where the adventure lead.
This was awesome, what a treat! Two buddies just sitting back and reminiscing about the good times. I look forward to more of these!
Yeah, I agree! Such a treat to watch them ❤️

Lol same for me… A guy named Matt got me into FF7 as well. Shoutout to all the Matts out there who got their friends into JRPGs
@@CharlieTooHuman I was the guy who introduced a Matt to the world of gaming 30+ years ago. Had no idea of the chain of events I was setting into motion. 😂
You guys have great chemistry i can listen to you both talk about games for hours.
I had a horrific day...!!! But this video made me smile for 14 mins and 30 seconds....Thanks Rob Man and HCG.....
Keep safe man
Perosna 3 is the game that made me fall in love with rpgs. Just the story and how fleshed out the characters where. I had never seen anything like it before. I honestly didn't know that games could make me feel emotional like P3 did
2020 seriously needed a win, and we have one...RobmanWorld's BACK! Best of luck! I'll be looking forward to each episode.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS More Robman already and with the illustrious HCG none the less!
The most memorable ‘rpg in my parent’s basement’ was definitely KotOR. I feel like I spent a whole summer on that game. Best wasted summer ever.
It was 5th grade and I loved my Super Nintendo but never played an RPG in my life. I was into Mario, Mega Man X, & Final Fight. Then a new friend I made comes over to my house for the very first time with the holy trinity of RPGs: Chrono Trigger, EarthBound and Secret of Mana. He was explaining how these games worked and it just blew my mind. Before he left, he said I could borrow one of them, so I picked Secret of Mana because it was more of an Action RPG, it had co-op and matched more of what I was into at the time. It was the game that really started the addiction for the rest of my life.
the way johnny says "yea they would destroy all of this" as if he pictured it in his head and got incredibly sad
this is awesome, been listening to y'alls stories and experiences for years. keep em coming haha
Nut busted seeing this in my subscription feed. Lets go Rob Man !
So you are a homosexual?🤔
I remember sleeping over at my friends house when he had monster rancher, now this thing about this game was you could put in random cds and youd get different monsters, so id bring over like 20 random music cds, just to see what monsters wed get. fun times
I played the shit out of Monster Rancher 2. Apparently japan got a rerelease on switch! I hope the west gets it as well sometime. Love it.
Oh man, I did this. I didn't have many CD's, but I would go through my Dad's and my older brothers CD. I got some really strong Nagas and was pumped. Now that I'm older I wonder if it was random or if it even mattered which disk. Lol I never tried the same one twice.
I remember that game, it was pretty odd. I actually watched the show too, was while I was in my Pokemon phase.
Man, this is wholesome content.
Great to see Johnny on your show now, love your energy and friendship.
I am glad this is a thing!
is that world famous Happy Console Gamer! i wonder how you got him on the show.. jk, i love that you started making videos again, hope the foot it healing nicely robman

ROB! So glad you're doing fine and uploading more vids now
Dragon Quest music at the beginning! Very fitting
You guys are always so pumped up to reminisce about games, it's
awesome to watch
I'm so stoked for you Rob Man. We love you Rob. I hope you're recovering well. Much respect.
Hey Robman, i hope everythings going alright and you got Johnny on already :)

What's up RobManWorld! Loved your video! Can't wait for more! Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger on SNES got me started into the RPG world!

So great See RobMan and Johnny on the show together You both ROCK! And remind me of my younger years and gaming with my buddies like the Bums we where.

Can't wait until years from now everyone starts watching these by tradition just like over at Johnny's! Love you Robman shine on :)
What a shitty year 2020 was for so many people, I hope you fully recover and best wishes for 2021 to all.
One of the all time greatest youtube gaming duos. You guys are the best. Can't wait to see the future of your channel Robman!

What a great topic. You can always tell how much you and Jonny like eachother. It just shines through.
Rob and Johnny. Thank you for everything that you guys do. Introduced me and I'm sure many others to wonderful old school jrpgs
The camaraderie between you guys is great. Dragon Quest got me into JRPG’s. My absolute favorite video game franchise. Wish you both the best.
A livestream with you guys level grinding a jrpg of your choice would be fun sometime i know you guys arent really into livestreams but still its an idea
Great vid!!My first jrpgs I saw was Dragon Warrior and that amazing art but it was Lunar Silver Star Story was the one that blew me away.
I just discovered that RobMan has a RUclips channel! That is so awesome!

When are we getting those Robman And Millennium action figures?
I half expected Johnny to say “until next time”
I actually got into JRPGs with Final Fantasy on NES first then playing Dragon Quest later. But FF1 got me hooked so hard on the genre.
Good stuff Rob...I thoroughly enjoyed this ..keep up the quality content brother!!!!
When you guys bust out into the Dragon Warrior song like two drunken sailors, couldn't stop laughing. RobMan the sincerity of this subject and your guys' love for RPGs and the stories, it's infectious! Love it!
You guys should tippy toe instead over on this channel.
I think the first jrpg to truly hook me was FFX-2 oddly enough. I'd never played any of the others and had only grown up playing more action games like DKC on snes and Mario 64 on N64 so this was a completely foreign genre to me. I loved the idea of a huge story being told and like Johnny said being able to go on an adventure while sat at home alone was a nice concept.
Seeing you guys in these videos always brings a huge smile to my face. You both just seem like such genuinely great people and its so cool to see your friendship. Thank you so much and I'm so gla dyoure truly getting into doing your own channel Rob!
As someone born in the late 90s and didn't get to experience games really before the 2000s, you guys have gotten me into so many games I wouldn't otherwise have tried thanks to your passion for them. Thank you!
Great vídeo Rob Man! I hope you are having a good recovery
Had a smile on my face the entire time . You two are the best
Man rob, I’m so happy and proud of you!
The best Way of waking up is listening to rob and Johnny before going to work 😎
We didnt get so many rpgs to Sweden back in the days but secret of mana got me hooked. Anyways guys until next time
So happy to see this Rob! Will be watching every episode :)
My first JRPG experience was the Final Fantasy 7 demo when I first got a PS1 in like late 1996? I played it so many times and when I finally got to play the full game I think I never was the same casual gamer again.
If I was given the chance to sit down and have a beer with anybody in the world, it would be with you guys hands down. The amount of passion, best friend history, and love for for games you two have is so extremely rare to see nowadays. Absolutely love these videos. Thank you for always including us viewers to hangout with you. It literally makes my day everytime 👍🏼
There’s never enough from Rob and John! So glad you restarted your channel Rob. Best regards from Slovakia!
The fact that I can now look forward to seeing videos from both of you together and separately gives me so much joy. Keep 'em coming Rob! 😁
Final Fantasy on the NES was my start. I remember how cool it was that you could have a Black Belt or a Thief in your party. It was (and still is) such a full, fun game with some classic music and a great storyline. Instantly hooked ever since.
Great to see Rob getting the channel up and running, best wishes to him for future success!!
Two great friends sitting and just talking video games. Always humbling to listen to you guys chat. Like many people, Pokemon was my gateway into JRPGs, which is my favourite gaming genre!
Sharing my JRPG Stories in here, my older brother got me into them because he was playing FFVII with his friend everyday and I would beg to come in and watch them being a kid and all and absolutely loved it, a few years later when 10 came out I got it for christmas and is still my favorite game to this day. Watched that same brother play through that, kingdom hearts 1 and 2... Those were the times
Love your big ass watch! Keep the good work Rob! I left the ads running as a way to support you man!
I've been waiting for your next video!
Been a big fan of you and Johnny since the early days of the RUclips gaming community. Really love seeing you two together and talking games. Take care Rob!
We all should make time for those we cherish. These guys had a rough 18 months (but also spawned an offspring). Happy to see you guys having fun.
I love hearing about your old stories of playing video games as kids. It always makes me nostalgic for my own childhood.
14:23 - I unfortunately did not get to experience the Playstation JRPG boom but I did get sucked into Skies of Arcadia and it was stellar.
Yes!!! I've been looking forward to this episode since the last one! You two are the reason I've finally played and beat Phantasy Star, Dragon Quest 2, and now Dragon Quest 11.
I'm not even into RPGs but could hear you guys talk about them for hours ! So glad you are doing this Rob!
I think I got into JRPGs playing Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy III (i.e. Final Fantasy VI) at my friend's house; the one that lived in the same neighborhood.
My first JRPG was Final Fantasy VII when I got it along with my PlayStation back in the 1990s. That was when I'd get so excited when the next ones came out by Square-Enix. I loved how back then I had more time but not as much money so I had to make every game count. JRPGs were perfect for that since they lasted.
Goddamn I loved this video. I could seriously sit around for hours and listen to these stories. Reminds me of me and my best friend basically doing the same thing in Los Angeles in the early 2000’s. You’ve already got a killer channel dude.
I could sit and listen to you guys talk for hours. It's like being a mute friend on the other side of the table just enjoying the convo, lol
I got a DS and a copy of Pokémon Diamond back in 2007 when I was just 7 years old. Me and my older brother have so many memories pumping hundreds and hundreds of hours into the pokemon games. Some of my earliest and most nostalgic gaming memories. I still frequently revisit the game to pay my respects for the game that got me into gaming as a whole, and made me who I am today :)
FFVII for me. Got it at release when I was 15 having been into tabletop gaming and 80s/90s Anime the SciFi channel showed late nights that I recorded on VHS. I’d been gaming since NES, had all major consoles, master system, SNES etc but had always been action/platformers. FFVII honestly shaped me in so many ways as a gamer and a person. It truly helped me as a lonely only child! Still my favourite game of all time to this day and of course I went back to the consoles before and played through all the classic JRPGs of old.
Magical to see you guys on the channel!
Its also probably the last AAA game in which internet wasnt a thing, and mobile phones wasnt "mainstream" yet.
And even when you used your internet, the phone shut off in the house- so quiet in the hpuse and focused on the game. no phone calls, no internet. That was another cool thing with ff7, I learned most of the secrets of the game still by asking people back in school.
Thats how I learned about the underwater materia for the weapon boss, and the chocobos for knights of the round. Or how to get Vincent.
