This video alone gave me a new appreciation and retrospective as someone who just started getting into the franchise starting with the FF7R and looking to play the original. I came from your iceberg video and I admire your production and attention to detail in your work. I look forward to seeking more of your content!
Honestly, with the great standard of quality for your videos, I'm super surprised you don't have more subs or views. This was well-made and well-thought out, even if I disagree with a few points. I still enjoyed the heck out of it. Keep up the good work.
I'm really surprised that FF4 was not one of the recommended starting places. It seems practically THE most "Final Fantasy" out of all of them. Great characters and story, great music, and an easy difficulty (Western version/PSP), and a high fantasy setting. Sure the graphics aren't as advanced but it's still really good. Anyway good list dude...
Criminally underrated channel. If you're looking for critique from a random stranger, if your scripts can match the quality of your edits then you'll surpass that Norwegian nerd in no time.
always happy to hear feedback. i do think that my scripting has grown a bit since this video but im still trying to carve out my writing style for sure.
@@afishsparadise5150 Hey, take it as a compliment to your editing haha. I've been pacing myself on your videos instead of binging, as a normal human would. You have a discord?
As much as I want to love FFXV, pre-patch Chapter 13 killed my buzz. That experience alone has kept me from doing a second full playthrough since launch even though it's supposed to be better now.
Me: *is half watching video while cooking* Video: *ends* Video: *begins playing ‘I Am…All of Me’ by Crush 40* Me: 👀👀👀 Edit: I forgot to mention, but TRULY, you make great videos that both absolutely entertain and actually present information people might not have known. I hope more people will see eventually 💚💚
FF VIII is my favourite ... it was the first one I think I finished as a little kid (maaaybe VII though.) I like Squall’s character progression, and the crazy story is actually great lol. Plus... the card game.
@@afishsparadise5150 thank you so much, also the video "because its fucking sonic, i passed that shit when i was 12", i cant seem to find the og at all
@shira7211 No prob! thats from this video from 2009 called 'Black Guy Loves Video Games' by a channel called BBoySmurf. its such an obscure video that im not even sure how i found it in the first place 💀
when i was a kid we played ps1 ff7 and tactics. then a few years later ps2 came out with ffx. to me ffx was like the next ff after 7. 8 and 9 were so weird i never really bothered with them. i remember watching my cousin tapping square during a summon in ff8 and i just thought that was a weird lame system lol i did eventually go back and play 8 but not 9 gotta check out 9 apparently
Alright awesome thanks! After watching this video I feel confident in saying that I learned the best way to start Final Fantasy, which is of course, to not start it at all! The older games have an old combat system that I have no interest in and the new ones aren’t as good as the old ones! Thanks a fish’s paradise! 😂
FF7 is the masterpiece. FF8 was a bit of a downgrade and kinda basic unless you just liked the card game in it, FF9 was too chibi looking like they thought backtracking to a lesser format for making the characters would be a good idea. FF 10 though, was pretty good, like a close second to 7. And 12...FF 12 was....weird. SO yah focus on the greats: FF7 is a must, and FF 10 if oyu really want a a super drawn out narrative, and FF8 for the card game and some stuff. lol
FF6 is where I would start, it has everything in it that makes the series great. The graphics aged like fine wine while FF7 and to a lesser degree, FF9 , look like dog shit now. FF10 is also very good so might be a good place to start for people who need voice acting and flashy modern graphics. I have to say, I've been enjoying FF15 playing it for the first time on PS5, I never thought I could enjoy another Final Fantasy but it's fun.
yeah all thats fair bro. ff6 or 10 are both great starting points even if I feel like theyre a little slow in the beginning imo. also i get what you mean about the graphics from the ps1 games not holding up well but i think ff9 at least looks pretty damn good to this day. especially if ur playing that moguri mod on steam 👀
@@afishsparadise5150 I definitely second the moguri mod, it's trivial to install and configure and the game looks incredible at (I believe) 4k. My last play through of FF9 I used moguri and it was amazing. It'd be nice if Square re-realeased FF9 and FF7 with moguri mod upscaling included from the beginning then I'd recommend them to new players in a second, especially 9 since it's worth replaying several times for fans of the series.
@@gentronseven That's why it can be tough recommending this series to people. Some of the best games in the series just look like shit by today's standards and it's hard for a lot of people to look past that. The older games got this certain spirit to them that you wanna share with others, but there can just be too many roadblocks for the average person. If official moguri mods for 7 and 9 were released that would help a ton.
this video has prompted my to do another 4 monks playthrough of ff1
somebody give this man a raise
Solo monk. Astos was TOUGH.
Dude you had an algorithm moment lmfao, I'm glad it happened though
Just discovered your channel from the iceberg video, these are very cool and underrated videos

FF8 was my jam

I kept replaying 5:44 trying to understand why Duran Duran makes an appearance lol
Your channel is absolutely amazing and deserves way more views
thanks homie💖
Just randomly found your channel and the abundant use of the qtpie "bruh" clip is killing me. Keep it up.
Thank you kind sir, for putting in hours upon hours of time into editing, for sharing your wit so that I could start my own adventure.
How the hell does this vid only have 400 views... so well done. Subscribed, I hope your channel takes off.
Bruh, why you have so little subs. Your content is amazing! Gonna boost this channel.
This was such a great overview of the series. Personally I aim to play all the FF games so this was a great guide on where to start and where to go.
Great video! FF took a nosedive after 10
My favorite game ever is FF 8
I really miss the old FF games 😩
saame bro. at least the 7 remake was p good and 16 looks like its gonna be cool
Somebody get this man some more subs he’s earned em god dayum
The day fish’s videos finally hit more people’s recommendations is gonna be happier then my wedding day
loved the video.
I hope you get a ton of subscribers and make a million dollars.
How is this channel not more popular?! Some of the funniest videos on RUclips bruh

Damn, you put a lot of work into this, kudos!
Worth the wait! The Spongebob title card was amazing!
Wow, thanks fish. Now I can fully enjoy the Final Fantasy series, developed by Square Enix.
Just started FF14 online. This video is perfect
top tier vid my dude good shit
Man, you need more subscribers.
I started with 8 and somehow turned out fine, guess I didn't know any better lol but I loved it most hours I've put into a game
Subbed for the killer content, man!

Hoping this vid blows up lol, love myself some FF
this is such a great video, i am so glad i clicked on this to get into the series :)
Another master piece my man. these are awesome. Would you do a Suikoden 2 video at some point? My favorite JRPG of all time

@@afishsparadise5150 thanks, king 😔🙏
Thanks for showing me some SLAPPER TRACCZ CUH!
Don't be hating on my boy Squall tho
nah the jokes are all in good fun squall is a mad lad 😎
@@afishsparadise5150 he's a smashing bloke!
How the heck do you get such awesome video editing skillz?
Another banger🔥🔥🔥
This video is just super awesome
23:36 This Yiazmat guy took me 5 hours straight to defeat. What the? 50 million HP?
this is such a good video
FF6, and FF9 are my favorites. Aint played anything newer than 9. I got X but aint played it yet. But FF6 is bomb! The remastered one.
Why wasn’t captain abstinence in the abstinence fan club?
The comments about the FFX laugh as bad VO are very strange. Are you familiar with that scene? It's very intentional
Oh yeah I know haha. It's actually a really great scene in context but its just funny to show out of context
24:55 ive been looking for this video for forever, what is the og video called?
If you look up 'Chad Warden' it should show up :)
@@afishsparadise5150 thank you so much, also the video "because its fucking sonic, i passed that shit when i was 12", i cant seem to find the og at all

Say no more my guy. The song is "South Yokohama" from Racing Lagoon :^)
@@afishsparadise5150 I can't stop watching your videos. I don't mean the ones on this site xD jkjk good looking out brother and be safe!

:(
Cmon, everyone knows tactics (psp version only) is clearly the most accessible game to start with.
Inb4 start with brave exvius lol
"I need to get 200 subs before I die please"
How about more than 200?
I had to be realistic with my goals here
21:29 that laught who is......purposefuly fake.
I mean you play the game you know it's the point that this laugh is fake. ;-;
bro i know its a forced laugh but it doesnt make it any less goofy imo

great video but the editing in the ff4 part kinda sucks lmao what loser made that part, 8/10
i know right thats what im saying
13 sucks. Apparently it's sequels are better, but I just lost interest in anything pre-FF15.
You can pretty much buy anyone of them then just sit bAck and enjoy
