as someone whos first final fantasy was the first final fantasy, Garland always held a special place in my heart. He was never a great villain, but he was my first, so seeing this is like how i saw him back when i was playing ff1 for a kid, with my imagination filling in the blanks.
I wanted him to say he'd knock them all down lol. But yes great wordless opening like Up. Shame the dlc forces hard mode and bundles but I did get for $16 so I'm satisfied even with some flaws, there is a lot of moves (press and hold select to talk was a bad one) and good pacing (though they skip scenes after the opening and don't have a world map ie play in hallways).
The guards: "Oh my God... he's not even saying anything. Not even reacting to us as we shout at him and run towards him. What a stoic, truly terrifying villain..." Jack's earbuds: *electric guitar noises*
@@joshrox826 Well, it does open with teenagers getting slaughtered, a chocobo ripping some dude's guts out, a whole entire nation getting nuked (With it's leader, it's only survivor, becoming a bloodthirsty psychopath), and there's lots of blood too. Bear in mind, that's just the intro for Type-0.
I started Final Fantasy on a whim, with its old graphics and peppy bit music, got fairly far...now years later I started this today and wow. Just wow. I gotta say it's nice to be back hunting "crystals", I'm wondering if we'll get a name for this world finally? So far we got: Gaia, Spira, Ivalice,Gran Pulse, Cocoon, Terra, World R, Hydaelyn, it would be nice to learn more!😁
Man remember when FFXV was gong to be the first FF game where enemies would visibly bleed in combat/gameplay and people lost their shit when they saw that in the 2006 and 2013 trailers only for the full release to remove that? Fuck it here's the OG FF villain turning dudes into sashimi.
I just played a little bit of the newest demo and I am now more suspicious that this is really a sequel instead of a prequel... at the beginning of the game, Princess Sarah told the characters to help the knight "Garland" that goes to the Chaos Shrine 10 years ago and didnt come back, then told the characters that she can't recall some of the details on what happened 10 years ago and because of that, the King didn't believe in her. Neon also has a hazy recollection of 10 years ago. In the end of the FF1 OG, we are told that the 4 heroes will be back to their past after the fight with Chaos but with no recollection of their heroic deeds, only the mythical creatures will remember such as the dragons and the elves. And true enough, they have hazy memories, and its like Astos still remembers (he is a dark elf so he most likely is included on the mythical creatures that remembered what really happened). My speculation is that the time loop is restarting, and now Garland will sacrifice himself to stop this loop once and for all. I think the time loop in the OG really didnt stop and was just a temporary halt because we are told during the ending that Sarah, Jane, and Garland awaits the heroes when they come back so there is still a very high chance that it will happen again since Garland didn't disappear when the heroes defeated him.
@@Silphiroth The writer is Kazushige Nojima so you still cant write it off unless you already finished the game and already know the story fully well ^_^
Neither did I tbh. It's a shame that FFVII Remake didn't have proper blood in the game. They had Jenova's blood trail in purple ooze and President Shinra had smoke popping out of him when stabbed. 2 iconic moments that really needed the blood imo. I'm not saying R rated but at least realistic as possible. I wasn't too keen on this game (FFO) but Garland was done bloody well. And the ending was perfectly done. All we need now is to give the rest of the Final Fantasy games their time and moment. I mean as you can tell I'm a massive FFVII fan, but it's being milked way too much. I'd love to see the other games get some attention (FF 1-6 + 8 - 12 not 13 as that had it's story expanded and complete). Hell, I'd settle for either a ps5 version of Dissidia (as long as we have limit breaks/ finishing moves rather than relying on HP attacks and summons) or even a Advent children style movie of Dissidia, as long as the story is not all over the spot. I'm not a fan of movies that have boring scenes that drag on and on with no real input to the story, especially love scenes (look at Amazing Spiderman 2, trailers were amazing but the movie was a mess).
@@SuperDonny21 Looked into this, recently. Those changes were forced on them to not be R rated. Same reason why in Remake and Crisis Core Reunion, Jenova's head is encased in a metal box, as Jenova's original design was "too human", and with the graphical upgrades Remake brought, they could no longer get away with Sephiroth carrying her head without the age rating bump.
I imagine Jack is designed by what the average Japanese corporate committee thinks the average American gamer likes when looking at the covers of Xbox 360 games.
The sheer terror in that guards eyes speaks and screams louder than anything anyone could ever imagine. I wonder what his face would look like though 🤔
*GOD, Garlard or should I say Jack Garland looks more badass and epic then ever, also interesting that he has those Red Crystal Powers now too.* Also im wondering if Chaos, the OG Satan Villain with wings and horns will be the Final Boss in this game.
they announced that they're going to be doing a full graphics overhaul in the near future. My biggest wish with ff14 is the combat. Its old and gets extremely boring quickly but the main point of the game is the story and grand settings. But imagine if ff14 had the graphics and gameplay like BDO or any other modern action adventure game, it'd be the best MMO hands down.
@@anthonybarto1654 yea i heard they will overhaul everything the ui,graphics, animations. The combat its ok since is an mmo now that we are getting a update on that. The only problem for me is that the games feels small it takes you out of the immersion like they said they have better hardware to work with so i hope they fuse some of the maps. So it feels like an open world a bit more they also need to shortenthe boring quests a bit at least from arr. I cant wait for the graphics upgrade it will attract alot of new people.
well if they do one of II and Mateus is probably next (If Dragon Quest Builders is anything to go on), though personally I would prefer the character of his mother from the light novel
Wait, the second wave of guards finding the trail of corpses and then Garland passing them again implies he went back to where he was to do that AGAIN. Did he get lost, or forget his AirPods or something?
Ever notice how all the Cornelian knights trying to save the princess die covered in red crystals then explode? Everyone Garland kills basically dies like that Now I wonder, there is only one other character in the game known to consistently kill enemies by covering them in red crystals and then exploding them. Hmm
@@MadDragonify You didn't get my joke. If you're implying that Jack *Garland* is even possibly related to Garland, you're crazy, no cap. A stupid name that only Nomura could think was clever.

This right here really does confirm to me the theory that the art department is at odds with the writing department for every single FF game starting with FFVIII. When there is no talking, you get some of the most badass moments such as this, but the second people start opening their mouths, it brings down the games as a whole with bloat, childish writing and edge.

They have taken their original villain from being a mediocre first villain into an insanely good anti-villain.
