6:15 that's because before Shin Megami Tensei there is Megami Tensei (for the NES) in which is based on a book called Digital Devil Saga where a Student manages to create a computer program that allows him to summon demons. The author, IIRC, is a programmer himself and had interest in occult themes so...

actually it's pokemon who is shin megami tensei with cartoonish monsters.

"sometimes suck with varying degrees of ass" killed me xD

I love this game so much it’s one of my all time favourites so much so I see no flaws haha

one of the guys who created it said no but you are still saying yes?

Your favorite FF is reskinned Tactics Ogre...

I like the story, every system in this game is bad tho. worst lvling system ever

Every handful of expansions the oldest gets added to the free trial anyway I have easily put about 500 hours into the free train as well

I remember on my first play through i farmed all my caracters to lvl 99 each so i can be ready for the final boss...little did i know how difficult i would be after that. I was convinced that the final act in the castle was extra hard compared to the rest of the game. Now i understand why it was...but when i really think about it, i think i made the right call because winning that last fight was incredibly satisfying due to it's difficulty, when i look at a speedrun and how easy they defeat bosses i can only think that i've had it better than most. One of my favorite game of all time

FF8 is far from the worst game in the series.

my 1st FF game, my fav one (FFX is the best one though)

If you didn’t have to pull 100 of the spells for the stats id be a much better experience.

I got it on steam and was pleasantly surprised they let you stock up on magic instead of drawing them over and over. The nice thing is this is optional so if you want to do it the old fashioned way and spend countless battles drawing magic, you still can!

55:56 where is that scene from?

we just became best friends the moment you said Lagunas battle music is the best.

ngl you gotta turn this music down

Nice

Tip: If you’re a tank, STOP RUNNING FROM THE MONSTER. I’m not a tank, but I’ve watched jocat and I know your job as a tank is to distract the boss and keep it still so the team can attack the rear. Just smth I saw during the dungeons section, so no hard feelings. This vids pretty fire, so keep it up!

please god no. XD Not having dungeons in the story is why I quit most MMOs XD. I hate mmos thta treat their story as secondary.

Grand Companies are essentially a holdover from 1.0. In 1.0 the story was attached to the grand companies and you would only see part of the story based on the perspective of your Grand company similar to how the story is told from Character Creation up until you join the Scions. Eventually they decided to repurpose the Grand Companies for PVP but it ended up causing issues since not many people liked doing PVP in FFXIV before the rework in Endwalker so they eventual decoupled it from PVP and ever since Grand Companies have mostly been stuck in limbo.

Dees 😂

Personally I couldn't stand the game, having played every other Final Fantasy up to that point except 2. But It's not because the characters, setting, storyline, or any of that. The leveling and battle systems just weren't fun to me and I couldn't get into it.

ds2 is definitely the best in the souls franchise any road, after like two days of gameplay on ff14 i understand why so much people love this game

"That's how I pronounce it" How...How else is it supposed to be pronounced?

Ive always junctioned blind against the T-rex.

*18:35** See? That's an odd one for me. I don't ever remember being defeated by the Rexosaur, not even one. If the game was meant to keep enemies leveling up with oneself, then something is wrong with my emulator copy. It was always easier and easier to make dinosaur burgers out of them.*

We are waiting you back at Stormblood my friend! I hope that you consider to join that part these days o7

You dont like the singing in the boss themes? I cant get enough of "The big fat Taco" xD

You should check out the Succession mod. It tweaks the story, mostly with Cid, Rinoa, Edea, and Seifer, helping it flow better. It replaced Time Compression and amnesia with elements that apparently work quite well.

As a new free trial player, I was drawn to your video to see just how far I could take it. Thanks for sharing all of that. I'm also wary of locking my free play away, and wonder if there's a legit way to have a second non-free account which I occasionally pay or lapse, depending on level of interest. Like you, I find myself speeding through the story quests - with my friends barely involved in my gameplay at all, except as vastly over-levelled world map helpers, or dungeon buddies. It doesn't feel right at all, making them plus-ones in my hero arc. I hope they are re-living some of the magic of their first time through me, at least.

This is probably the first video I've seen that mentioned FFXII and the things XIV borrowed from it - sometimes I feel like an absolute lunatic when I see a wooly croc in Coerthas, or the absolute meltdown I had when, during Heavensward, I spotted a "Lower Skylord", aka a Ring Wyrm, sans a ring, and lamented what they did to my poor boy.

I want to get into this game so bad because the player base seems so diverse but the combat is so awful. the dungeons and end game content looks good- i wish ffxiv and bdo had a baby

It isn't. I have nothing against Squall, it's the fact that story is weird, all over the place, uses something once and then totally forgets about it.

Can you get guess which final fantasy is my favorite ?

I did not know the Rinoa theory! I’m on disc 2 right now so now I will play this game with a different connection.

Since I don’t see any one else ask.. What is DeeS?

Just started playing FFVIII again around 3 days ago. It’s all I think about while at work. FFVII is my favorite of all time but VIII Is still incredible.

And not a single word about dog hand-canon, dog wrestler, dog for riding, dog posing in front of the moon... The most important part!

Sooo what dues DeeS stand for ?

if people are oh so annoyed with the junction system they should just use auto.

Missed it started with 10. Truth be told. Jecht's song is my actual fav XD

Aragon & Arwen is the only love story that I don't hate.

Over 300 hours in, it’s my first time hearing about squadrons

31:15 Vaan is actually the most important character in the game. Without him joining the hunters guild and advancing in the ranks, the final hunt Yiazmat would have destroyed Ivalice. It is hailed in npc opinions and in statistical fact that Yiazmat is the most powerful creature in Ivalice. The kingdom battles and wars meant nothing at the end of the day, as Yiazmat would kill everybody anyways. So really, the rest of the team are all side characters, and Vaan is DEFINITELY the main hero AND the most powerful being in Ivalice after he completes the final hunt.

bruh that fucking happened to me with the giant snake in ff7. i spent two weeks fighting it eventually killed it. and then my save file corrupted ;-; tbh i havent played it since

Omg we have the same favorite ff tactics and first then 8, then 7 and then x. This was also my first final fantasy.

FF8 has a fake President that scared me then transformed FF8 has great bosses and this is not my final form Ultimecia I beat her so many times years ago

7 was my first, 8 was my second and the one I got to try the most before I got a PlayStation. Definitely gets more hate than I think it deserves. Definitely has issues but I actually like the breaks it has.

Wait that's nuts! SeeD is actually Dees backwards??!?

19:35 Yes, defeating Midgar Zolom when you first encounter it is super-satisfying. It's not as hard as it appears. You can even defeat the Zolom in a no-random-battles challenge. It helps to keep everyone tranquilized in the back row, with Cure materia, give the Enemy Skill learner an Elemental-Fire combo on their armor and don't have them attack until they're the last fella remaining, rely mainly on Limit Breaks for your attacks, use Beta on the Zolom once you've learned it. Experiment from there. Good luck!
