Wow. I didn’t know I needed this video, but I needed it. I’ve played I-XII, beaten III-X and X-2. I’ve watched endless hours of videos and podcasts on every game. Experiencing the narratives without the gaming is something I’m just as excited to do in my 30’s as I was to play the games in my teens. Given the community’s understandable so-so perspective on XII, XIII, and XV, all of which I’ve played, not beaten, and agree (for obvious reasons) that something just feels missing from those that was always there in previous games. However, watching through this, XII and XIII still feel that way to me. Vaan becoming a sky pirate at the end feels like “Okay, I never cared if that happened.” And all the characters in XIII constantly fighting with each other feels annoying, and then there’s XV…it seems like those 3 games maybe all suffered from poor execution. I know splitting up XV’s story through multiple media was definitely not a good idea, but I just gotta say….WOW. As a person who literally only played around 2 hours of that game, watched Kingsglaive and felt “meh” about it XV’s narrative as it’s told here, in order and with all the DLC just fees like absolutely top tier Final Fantasy storytelling. I mean up there with VI, VII, Tactics, and X. Makes me reeeeeaaallllly wish it was executed as well as those games because if it was I’m sure it would be a fan favorite. I cried a couple times just watching its story it this format, I mean that’s really saying something. Those characters really feel alive.

@themrrightleft417

4 ай бұрын

I think, part of it is the execution, and part of it is the focus of the story of the games. Previous FF stories were more interested in telling the stories of the characters, as the events are unfolding, and tended to mix the plot events, with events relevant to the growth of said characters. In addition, most of them had interesting events for the main characters to experience, and therefore develop. FFXII's Vaan feels more like someone that was just expectating the events of its own game, and while XIII was more of an ensemble story, due to the weird events happening makes the whole cast feel as if they were only observers. Meanwhile, in the other games, the main cast is always the core of the story. Yeah, they are saving the world, but at the same time, they are learning things about themselves and are developing relationships due to said events. This makes them more compelling. That may be the reason why you enjoyed the story of XV, as then you see the events of the plot, but also how they affect the guys and you can feel how their relationships are evolving as the story progresses.

Thanks so much for your hard work on this

Tactics derserves to be considered a main title, hell it shares the same world as 12.

@SynysterProjects

3 ай бұрын

This is a very strange take. Tactics absolutely does not "deserve" to be considered a mainline title. It is as spin-off as spin-offs come. Not that that's a bad thing, FF Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time. However, the part that confuses me is how taking place in Ivalice makes it any more relevant than any other spin-off. FFVII and FFX also take place in the same universe, but the actual connections to the two games is tenuous at best. The events of FFVII aren't significant to FFX just because they take place in the same universe.

@MizuFujimori

10 and 7 dont share a world you weirdo. Tactics does and should be a mainline game. Its the ONLY spin off considered for characters in dissidia NT (a celebration for MAINLINE FF games) try being less wrong in life going forward@SynysterProjects

@@MizuFujimori yes, X and VII DO share a world. And the only time a spinoff character appeared in the SPINOFF SERIES Dissidia was Ramza in the most recent Dissidia title. Your little hypothesis would hold water if the previous two Dissidia games had Tactics characters, which they do not. Try being a little less confidently incorrect in life.

@@Serrax I never said it doesn't deserve credit. FFT is one of my all-time favorite games. But having some fan service in an MMO doesn't mean much. If Tactics deserves to be considered "mainline" because other spinoffs featured a character and FFXIV had some events, then Monster Hunter should be considered a mainline FF franchise too because you can fight a Rathalos in FFXIV.

I find it interesting how in most of the numbered titles, you can see the world getting more and more technologically advanced like a society is progressing slowly across the games. But it always loops back around in this cycle where people rely on technology too much and get punished by higher entities for it. Pushing society back into more primitive lifestyles.

Choosing to do a story recap on all the FF games is great. Doing it specifically for the pixel remaster versions is... a choice.

Pretty much Final Fantasy one and nine might being the same world because FF nine mentions Garland he actually does appear in the game. It’s in the same world, but at a different time thousands of years in the future. That and there’s a play based off of Final Fantasy one. There is also Final Fantasy seven and 10 , FF 10 might have happened (guessing )3000 years before Final Fantasy 7, the main reason I think this is Jenova try to destroy the world 2000 years ago, which probably happens after Final Fantasy X And X2 1000 years later. Shinra(FFX2) mentioned he can collect energy from the planet, similar to a certain company called Shinra named after their predecessor or ancestor, who came up with the idea to absorb energy (Mako)from the planet. But this is mostly a theory not sure if it’s accurate though . Final Fantasy X/X2:3000 SD(Sin death )year Final fantasy 7: 2000 JD(Jenova death) Final Fantasy 7:2007 AJ(after Jenova) or 07 AJ (just a theory)
