"stole his dad's armour." In the 3D version they're all Orphans. Well this line feels sad now
What a weird change to make. Instead of starting the game with all 4 characters, they're scattered across the first area each with their adoptive families... but they never do anything with it, they just say "oh, we're all adopted. Anyways...."
I mean they kinda just wanted to make the WoL not Non characters so actively gave them backstory, even if only a small amount
Why do you think the dad is gone? He died in a war because his kid stole his armor.
Dude killed his dad and stole his shit.
I pretty sure they are still orphans in the original.
If Jared decided to go through each and every FF game, I would be absolutely fine with that.
Can't wait for his review of VI
He probably will. The ends teases that he'll do the SNES block but will hopefully do the PS1 block too. After that, the series peaked. No great FF after that except X and XII (and tactics) imo.
If that, I really look forward to FF4, my favorite FF game
FF14 was great as well you know, it might be an MMO but it's really really really good.
baylaust I can't wait for XIII
Fun fact: Even though OnionKids are the weakest and worst class in the game, and cant use magic, if you somehow manage to level them to the late 90's they actually become the most powerful and best class in the game. And they are also the only class in the game that can equip the overpowered Onion equipment, that you get from Dragons in the final dungeon. There are OnionKid only challenges where you get your ass handed to you the whole game, but at the end get rewarded by becoming ultra powerful.
I haven’t played this game... is this a joke or a real thing?
@@emperorofgaming8146 Nope it's not a Joke. This is 100% True, at least in the NES version of the game. Later Versions of the game, changed the class systems so probably not the case for those.
@@wilfredynunez5263 Actually, in the later versions the Onion Knight can use magic but can only be acquired after a side quest.
The biggest sucky part is how some of the ports handle how you get the class. While I in general love the 3D recreation of 3+4, their attempts to integrate with the online elements were kinda meh, and the letter system they did for 3 which locked out the onion knight this way is even worse than Rydia's imaginary friend.
Wow, thank you so much for replying!
who's here after Jared's Ace Attorney comeback?
Honestly, I’m going to try and comment some creative comments so I can kind of “clean” away the harassment comments
@@Purple_Sloth thats what me and several others have been doing
Sacky Kai tournabout Jared
anegwa nice
i never left
did I just watch a game being born?
Daniel Wilbur u liked ur own comment u sir have hit a new low
Underops Lots of people do dat
Chesus The IV Still
Underops Gaming how do you even know that?
HansWorst He Was A Bottom Comment which had 1 like
that D&D dad got me good
Me too XD
Ditto.
GamerRoman same XD
Was the birth scene implying that d&d is the dad of both ff1 and ff2? If so then the birth scene was incest
GamerRoman same here XDDD
2:05 still gives me chills, the way he says those words and the prelude fades in, like it legit gave me goosebumps
"Final Fantasy 2."
*m u s i c*
that's the prologue
Can you imagine playing swords with your neighbors and then falling in a 80 ft deep hold, getting attacked by monsters, having to kill a giant fucking turtle, then getting shazamed into being an adult?
Me too.
Sages heal! Thieves can steal! Bards can...get the fuck out of my party! I was dying. Well played, PJ.
That's always my approach to Bards, even if they can do some good if you know what you're doing. For instance, Edward in FFIV can actually do constant 9999 damage with the right weapon equipped for specific enemies.
DA is prolly the only series to make Bards badass lol.
Sang-fantôme I still haven't played Dragon Age, how badass are their bards?
The shittiest bard in DA can prolly out maneuver anyone from Game of Thrones. Think ninjas and spies with magical equipment and 10x more political maneuvering skills than Littlefinger and Varys.
Sang-fantôme I'm sorry, I don't believe you: Littlefinger can outmaneuver anyone. Granted, I've only read three of the books, but still: I need a LOT of convincing to overturn his status XD
Its always a great day when Jared uploads!
That One Video Gamer Same goes for you :)
Clay Ayers hehe
That One Video Gamer @ProJirardTheFinishist this is so meta
hi , can you try ''tales of'' they are great game forgotten by youtubers ... for example i enjoy berseria for 78h of skit and cutscene almost non-stop .... plz don't overlook a game because is unpopular try different game once in a while
fred1357 ... he has done Tales of Symphonia about a year ago... th-cam.com/video/0Rfv-klqaHU/w-d-xo.html
2:38 So that's how sequels are made!! Waow!
Sweet home alabama.
I love how Jared got almost 50 thousand subs back in 2 days.
Tbh, I never unsubscribed. There are some stuff that seemed pretty convenient on the Holli case. TOO convenient.
Never even unsubbed, lol. I did unsub from Lily Orchard after she did a 180 on Steven Universe and suddenly started bashing it like it were Teen Titans Go with no explanation.
Doom Boy And a new sub! Me! I didn’t really know who he was before, but the spotlight, negative or not, helped me find him! He’s so GREAT!
It seems to be dropping again now. Not sure what that's about.
That's because he apologized for what he did wrong, and provided proof for the things he didn't do wrong.
"Thiefs could finally steal, Dragoons could jump, Knights can protect follow party members, Bards could get the f**k out of my party."
-ProJared 2017
Too true Jared, too true.
Only true for final fantasy bards one D&D 5E are one of the best classes
So uh we uh we finally learned what jared does when hes alone 2:45-3:15
I loved that bit!
I kind of... Ahem, lost my composure during that scene. Take that how you will.
Did anyone else notice Jared's chuckle when he drops FF3
*Internal screaming intensifies*
alot of ppl played with G.I Joe's when they were young.........Jared played with Nintendo cartriges.
Positive comment for ProJared. Let's fill his channel with good vibes!
>vibrates
Thank you
He's good people
@@Purple_Sloth poihyv I g I’ll I’ll ok I C u I
@@Zrowitflo54 what
So if the grandfather is D&D, is the grandmother Lord of the Rings?
Daniel Jones nah the great grandparents must be the Legend of King Arthur and Beowulf.
Considering the Tolkien estate once sued E. Gary Gygax over halflings originally being called “hobbits”, if LotR is the mama, it was a nasty divorce.
I always found that case rather ironic as Old Professor Tolkien himself would have been okay with, or even supported their use of the term Hobbit considering his view of his world as a mythology for " other pens and brushes" just as DnD took from myth and legend it took from Tolkien.
I think Dragon Quest should be Final Fantasy's parents though. Without Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy would not have existed.
Simon Lamb no I think it’s the hobbit
Would that make The Hobbit/LoTR FF3's great-grandpa?
sproins how about The Silmarillion?
Oh, the D&D joke... superb...
At exactly 3:00-3:03, projared realized he was creating a reenactment of a NES cartridge giving birth to another NES cartridge.
And that the cart’s father was a D&D book
PJ: Did you see anything?
Us: No sir, I didn't see you playing with your Nintendo cartridges again!
PJ: Good!
I see your schwarts is as big as mine! (I had to, Spaceballs ftw!)
I like your Final Fantasy Series
With all the Final Fantasy games, he could be doing this for like 2 years hahaha.
DarkKnightTrinity Assuming that a single year would pass in the breadth of seven hundred and ninety two days, you might be right. I still think that's undercutting it a bit, though...
Those cat ears don't make sense. But they don't have to make sense in order for me to love them.
They were going for a "tribal shaman wearing an animal pelt" look, I think.
@Matthew Haswell, Well, that, and its Japan. Japan LOVES cat ears.
Thats a pretty fucking cute tribal shaman.
SodawaveShow YES! YES! I wouldn't have said better XD
"Bards can *get the fBEEP* out of my party!" Best line.
I’m so glad they made the bard really good in the ds remake :) I definitely would of had a way harder time with the final dungeon without it, but I was still having fun at the end!
I just came back here to laugh about that
2:38 you are aware this will be on the internet forever right Jared?
I don't think he knows that anybody else can see these videos
MY EEEEEEEEEEEEEYSE
you tricked me
i dont like you
#3 on my birthing videos.. never lost my erection
That's not the most embarrassing thing of him on the internet.
That's Holly giving birth.
Do them all jared
Do them *all*
You are either a slash fic writer or a huge Final Fantasy fan or both.
Gotta catch them all!
...wait, thats not the right series
I hate it when a game forces you through a grinder.
You have to grind in order to beat the game.
For me, there needs to be a balance, some busy work however monotonous increases my enjoyment.
I like grinding when it offers a break from a series of strenuous fights. The boss gauntlet that is the fifth chapter of Bravely Default (I know it's all optional, but 999 JP per fight is too good to pass up) made me appreciate doing some more casual grinding right after.
Nana-Kyoto Im a rare one, when theres grinding My love for the game goes up
One of the reasons I have a love-hate relationship with JRPGs.
Jared, the family scene with the "book" and the "official cart" was the best bit your have done yet!
You don't have to grind at all
3 second later
Meteor kill all party member
Except he died while saying all. Lol
Shouldn't the "Invincible / 10" rating show up on screen?
Bruno Pacheco Ferreira It was going to but it was so slow that it missed the chance.
Harcion Gaming lol yeah ok
Bruno Pacheco Ferreira the show thought he said the invisible out of 10
I laughed my ass off at that birth scene!
DnD book: nyah I sure am
That was so hilarious.
D...Did I just witness a live birth on a TH-cam video. How has this not been demonitized.

FF III on the DS was a Xmas present from my mother, I have fond memories of it, one of my favorites. I to VII are the ones that I continue to get back time to time to remind myself of better gaming days
"Bards can get the feck outta my party!"
Nekumore ironically in the remake bards are crazy good
Nekumore he hates bards ;n;
"You spoony bard!"
Bards have always been the Yamcha of Final Fantasy.
Evil Ryu Not really. They're more like the Tien of Final Fantasy. Every so often they do something awesome, but the rest of the time they're just there.
The childbirth part may be the best ProJared stuff ever. Seriously, dude, that cracked me up!
"Just keep-a pushing"
I was really amused until "Granddad" showed up and then I lost my shit.
Kyspeas
*Revivify!*
Seriously, D&Dpa sounds like a pirate.
i took it as a gruff experienced adventurer
I love how Final Fantasy 3 introduced the poetic aspect to the games we all get to know and love. The sentient Wind Crystal was a...poetic prophet of sorts who speaks in cryptic riddles that mostly make the main characters get confused. Just like with Gintiana (from ff15), and the other sentient Wind Crystals from the other games, Loveless Act I (from ff7), and parts of the lore from the later games.
I never played Dissidia, but out of curiosity I looked up what Cloud of Darkness' moves were, and even though it goes by a different name, her moveset is almost enitrely flarewave.
I played Dissidia quite a bit and I don't remember this at all.
Just looked it up, and there is exactly 0 flarewave. It's "almost entirely" Tentacles and Beams.
EX attack is just another beam.
I guess you just skipped or ignored the part where I said it goes by a different name? It's called Particle Beam in every version besides the nes version.
he probably assumed you meant cloud of darkness was called by a different name, even I thought that. also in brave exvius she is op, her ability allows you to charge your limit break meter, IN A TURN NO MATTER WHAT, plus terra has ultima
also her regular move Is literally a wave, also her ex is a wave but its called something different but its a wave that deals a crapton damage to the entire enemy party
The DS version completely changed Cloud of Darkness's boss fight. Now she's got the 2 tentacles casting lightning and bad breath, while she slashes you up and shoots particle beam.
I actually really miss the characters in JRPGs being blank slates. Sure, it severely limits what you can do with the plot, but I like being able to make the characters me and my friends without having to deal with the permadeath common to most modern games with blank-slate characters.
I agree it would be pretty cool if they brought back blank slate characters in modern rpgs
Well, some modern games (like the Dragon Age) series have completely customizable main characters and dialogue trees that let you establish a personality. So they are pretty blank-y.
Tidal Yacht Etrian odyssey is a Jrpg it's an rpg madd in Japan
Bobby Sharpe but....their Are blank slate characters on modern rpgs. Ever heard of etrian odyssey? Your party is COMPLETELY customisable and are blank slates. You choose how they look their class EVERYRHING. Etrian odyssey is a modern RPG and has blank slate party members that are completely customisable. It's great they are great games and if you want blank slate parties that are customisable than Etrian odyssey is the RPG series for you.
personally, i like when each character has a set role, it's why i like ff1/ff4/ffx (though in x, you can break it if you choose) the best because throughout the game, each character has a set role, rather then master of all. I love FFt and jobs with a good job class system as well, when it's balanced, but it's rarely balanced and often leads to the game easily being broken without trying, and while i like these games, they're still beneath the set job role games.
onion kids
onion knight
praise the sun!
onion kid was original job which was switched to freelancer, Onion Knight stayed to be most OP job in these games had Job system
dark souls dude...
JayDeeJay Seigward is better than Seigmeyer
Very Good!
Siegward best girl
I beat it today. What a feeling beating an old timie RPG. The Crystal Tower was rough. But boy, seeing Cloud of Darkness vanish and me breathing a sigh of relief truly was something else.
Final Fantasy III is my favorite in the series gameplay wise. To me, the way this game presents situations to you to where you had to adapt your classes is one of the things I love about it, personally.
[The job system] wasn't _truly_ enjoyable until... later! [gestures towards V and Tactics]
Ah, I wish there was a copy of Bravely Default up there, too. That game REALLY reminds me of FF3; it feels like a reimagining of this game sometimes.
Linneus I would also add that BD is much better than FF3 in almost every way. But that's just because FF3 has just aged more than BD.
Graphics kinda look it too.(I mean the remastered and graphically upgraded FF3)
I mean, FFIII is nearly thirty years old, the fact that it can even still be COMPARED to something that modernizes the genre as well as Bravely Default does is pretty impressive in its own right!
Bravely Default was amazing until you hit the second half. Then it's just tedious. Still really cool from a narrative standpoint, and the big reveal was really well done, but damn was that boring to play through.
ShiningSpear basically the same as FF3 when it comes to the end of the game.
The Birth Scene made me fuck up the Special Stage 6 in Sonic Mania.
Note to self: never play Sonic Mania while listening to ProJared
The boss designs are beautiful in this game. DarkCloud may suck as a boss but looks AMAZING.
I recall the instant in the playthrough video where Zande cast Meteo to his party and did a complete party wipe. It was not a pretty sight.
Thanks projared! You've helped me get me into final fantasy through these videos. I've never liked RPGs but now, I love these games. Thanks Jared!
Which FFs are your favorite?
Try the Gaia games on snes, which are Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma. Those are more action rpgs. If you want a turn based game try Lufia 2.
Daniel Lado thanks!
If you haven't played FF9 yet i highly recommend it. It's my favorite in the series.
GoDZooKe what is the best way to play these games? Emulators are the closest thing I can come by.
Love the effort and work you put into the editing and scripting. This must take a ton of work, Jared. Nice job- I Love your videos and style.
Smash JT I think some other guy edits his videos (As shown when he plays Deathroad to Canada).
nah man he actually did the editing on this vid he was streaming the process the other day
Jared edits on his main channel.
He edits it himself. He actually streams himself working on this video on his twitch channel titled "old person hang out" & "old guy edits" 2 days ago.
So, to get the numbers straight:
Final Fantasy I is the same in all regions.
Final Fantasy II wasn’t released outside of Japan until the remake for the PS1.
Final Fantasy III wasn’t released outside of Japan in any form until the remake for the DS. (!)
Final Fantasy IV was released outside of Japan was originally released as Final Fantasy II.
Final Fantasy V wasn’t released outside of Japan until the remake for the PS1.
Final Fantasy VI was released outside of Japan as Final Fantasy III.
Then Final Fantasy VII was released everywhere as such on the PS1, and every subsequent game (as well as remakes and ports of previous games) would be titled consistently with the original Japanese release.
Correct, although FFV for the PS1 was more of a port than a remake.
4:16 I can't stop watching this part. Whenever I am said I watch this part and it always brings a smile to my face
Did you drop the FF III cartridge on your head during that birthing skit?
Kinda sounded like you were cracking up XD
Like it would be strange if he laughed even if he didn't because- I mean it's a completely normal skit otherwise
Someone should make a Final Fantasy Normal Boots fan game!
Asagao Academy.
Pie Gie248 I mean, RPG maker can do wonders lol.
I agree that would be a good idea where it probably would be a Suikoden clone or a Lunar clone
Asagao academy?... How is that...a Final Fantasy-based game?
It is not an rpg it is a digital novel style game you seriously don't know what the difference is between a digital novel game and an rpg is in the name of sexualized anime anthropomorphic ponies
Final Fantasy V when? been waiting for 2 years...
It's releasing VERY soon
It’s here!
I wonder how Jared feels about xv having the main theme at the end. For me, knowing know that it's always played at the begining, felt touching and powerful for what the scene was.
Jared: Now starts to get reeally good
Me: Yes FF 4,5 & 6 yay!!
Joaquín ignacio Matamala acuña And 7.
Majora'sWrath807 _ Yes and seven
he probably do them all even up to 15
FF8 is probably going to be the most negative from here on out, or maybe FFXIII... But both of those are almost certainly at least better than FFII, so this is going to be great XD
Joaquin Matamala I have high hopes for his review for FF6. It was rated the 2nd best RPG of all time
You forgot to mention that the Invincible has auto vendors for Magic, Weapons, Armor, Items, a bed to sleep in and a Fat Chocobo stable INSIDE IT.
It is hands down the best airship in Final Fantasy TO DATE.
Also I'm sad you didn't mention the awesome dance scene in Amur's bar. That was really awesome for an NES game.
(I played this game when I was a teen and had Mono so I grinded the eff out of it and maxed it out to beat the endgame. It only bothered me slightly because I was so used to playing FF games and grinding in them.)
Honestly, the Blackjack in FF6 will always be my favorite. Even though the Invincible has those features, the Blackjack is just so fun to fly around the world in.
The Talon in Final Fantasy legend 3 has its own rare gear vendors, an inn, and a customizable weapons loadout to help you in battle.
What is mono btw ?
These videos are so rewatchable !
This intro brought nostalgia back big time! You’ll hit your stride again - take care of yourself, Jared! When you were talking about a final fantasy vid in your channel update, it seemed like you were paralyzed by stress and anxiety... just remember, it’s all about what you’re seeing on the screen and feeling in your heart. Get your sleep, eat well, and have fun!
2:38 Jared you okay?
That bizarre birth scene joke was worth it just for the "are you proud of us dad?" and then the D&D manual responds. Lol, well played.
I prefer my JRPG's to be played through emulators so I can fast-forward the grinding portions.
3:15 Hoo boy after Shadowbringers does that music hit different.
As much as I love FF3, there is always one big problem with the game.
Random enemies that have AoE moves that deal MASSIVE damage, and if they come in GROUPS and you get BACK ATTACKED its pretty much a game over unless you're grinded hard enough.
Chimera Mage, righ?
One of the Dragons on the Crystal tower. Back attacks are the encounters that made me die multiple times. More harder than some bosses. Lol
Final Fantasy V is basically a perfected version of III. It's glorious.
you don't find the story horribly boring and the combat slow paced? of V i mean, 3 is worse in both those regards (the ds version, at least)
I find its story charming in a mid-90's kind of way. It's got the two most badass FF protagonists ever in the form of Faris and Galuf. I never found the combat slow-paced, but that's because I usually turned the battle speed up in the settings. I should also specify that I'm talking about the GBA port which has a much improved script from both the original fan-made patch and the PS1 version.
I actually much prefer 3 over 5. And Dimensions is the perfected version of both of them.
Bjorick The story takes a backseat for the real meat of FFV: Character development and world building.
The cast of V is easily the best main cast of the Classic Final Fantasies (be real, VI's cast is a ragtag bunch of cliches, with only one or two standouts, and it's too big for its own sake) and the world feels more connected to its characters than ever before (with many characters being native to a certain place, and interacting with it and its inhabitants in an interesting way - Bartz and his hometown being an example) and thus, more organic.
Hell, even the simplistic plot is also a blessing, because it allows FFV to not take itself too seriously, making a more lighthearted adventure that, tbh, Final Fantasy has ever done only once since (in FFIX, which most people agree it's a fantastic game).
Too bad the villain sucks. Its a tree. A friggin TREE!!
You know, going through these videos again I find myself not looking at the gameplay elements of the old games... I find myself listening to the music and ralizing how many of them I've heard in Final Fantasy XIV!
I love that these videos are recommended again and that this whole ordeal is "over"
Stay strong Jared
Woah... I beat Final Fantasy IX yesterday and now realised where the Invincible airship got its name from
FF9 was essentially conceived as "Throwbacks: The Game". They wanted to go back to the classic fantasy-and-not-quite-steampunk feel after 7-8 went pure sci-fi and proceeded to fill it to the brim with references to the earlier games. Cameos, reused names, in-jokes, remixed music tracks, it has it all. It's pretty fun to find them all.
That's why I like IX so much. I just don't like the character design that much but IX is a great throwback to the classics. I only played from IV to X (skipped VIII), that's why I didn't get the Invincible reference before.
You should play VIII,I personally like it better than VII (my favourite is still IX (or VI,I don't know)),just be aware that the main protagonist is a dickhead. My only complaint is that the way the stats work can be easily exploitable,but the game makes up for it (you'll know that when you play it).
I remember playing Final Fantasy 3 on the DS. Got up to crystal tower. Tried it a couple times then gave up. Crystal Tower can go sodomize itself...
It probably can, considering how much it loops around on itself
no it can't, it's too busy sodomizing the players of the game
Roxas darkrath I did that and having a full team of mages makes cloud of darkness quite easy.
This is pretty much how I remember that going on the DS version, which is a shame because it was such an amazing port up until then
But that takes forever and the Forbidden Lake, the Dark World, & the Crystal Tower are just painfully unforgiving, one screw up and you're done.
Why “OnionKid”? Why not just “Kid”? Why do onions have to be involved?
*insert shrek joke here*
Someboooooody once
I think it's a japanese thing. I think I've seen onions represent weakness in other JRPGs as well. Not sure where or why.
@@329link Huh really? Now it makes sense why knights of Catarina are ridiculed in Dark Souls
Ah yes, just as I remember. With the intro music blasting in my ears like a sudden banshee in a jumpscare scene. I'm gonna need a curaga.
The remake is one of my favorites. Not for the story but for the combat/job systems
Projared 2017- "You win this time Cecil."
FF1, 3, 5 and 9 are all variations on the exact same game (plot, characters, and resolution), evolved to include new technology, better grasp of storytelling, and experience as game designers. And its a trip to see them evolve along the way
Thief class is down right broken in the 3d version because of how many daggers increase agility, which increases attack multipliers.
Ah man Jared, I remember playing the DS remake while I was in college. I had the same overall feelings, especially when greeted with that lovely lovely tower. DS stayed in sleep mode charging in my room every day cause of that slog through the end, and I remember telling myself if I game over'd in there, that'd probably be it for me. There was absolutely nothing fun about that at that point.
I also recall (the DS version, at least) it bringing in another annoyance with the final dungeon. I'm with you on playing with job systems and party compositions, all the way. A lot of times, I trend towards a super defensive setup, and in this case it worked fantastic for most of the game. I remember using a paladin or some sort of defensive class with dual shields tanking everything, still doing moderate damage, while a summoner did most of my heavy lifting, along with a red mage and white mage/devout for backup. Was super super super hard to kill. I love safe compositions like that. Used it for the whole game...
Until the end, when enemies suddenly jumped from 5-15k hp to 90-150k. It was an entire drag for the game to say "Hey, no, unless you want every random battle to take 15-20 minutes, you're gonna swap to something WE want you to play." Gee surprise, out came the ninja and sage. Always hate it when a game does that. Etrian Odyssey has done it numerous times - kinda blows - but the addition of that multiple hour drudgery of final areas just really, reallllllly soured the game for me - even though the rest of it was yeah, very enjoyable (even with BS garuda).
At least we got the Lunar Subterrane afterwards! And the Big Whale. Pff, Lunar Whale be damned, it'll always be Big Whale to me~
lunarocean777 that tower is the worst, lost my interest on that part. Glad they fix it in FF4 remake, there are save point in the dungeon
Great Vid Dude! This is one of my fav FF
dustyn meagher
The video just came out, how did you see 14 minutes with in 6?
Domino of the West DUN DUN DUN
THE PLOT THICKENS
I wrote as i was watching lol, I was mostly just excited for a new Jared vid tbh
enjoyed this game so much. One of my favorite games
Loved watching this series on Projared Plays! It was one of the things I looked forward to each night after work.
Thank you Peeb, Jerd, Ian, and Joof!
Can't wait till he covers V
ouch
@Diego Cifuentes Get a life.
@Diego Cifuentes oof.
Also Projared was mostly innocent, sadface.
Diego Cifuentes lol, no you aren’t
Diego Cifuentes oof
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
At least it wasn't as bad as,
Final Fantasy 2.
Douglas Dragon What makes it bad? FF noob here, only played the original and FF2 for the snes. Ive been wanting to play them all
There's no level system like in the other games. Jarred did a video on it
Douglas Dragon The story and music of two was great, what are you talking about?
The 'unique' ideas in the gameplay.
Douglas Dragon Depends on the port, if you aren't playing it on the GBA, you are playing it wrong as it's the most balanced version of the game.
Only played the DS version (several times), and I really enjoyed it. It had its quirks, but it was just such a wonderful throwback for me at the time. Plus, the improved visuals looked great. Was just so very happy to have more endearing characters in a more straightforward story. The more modern FFs are a bit much for me in terms of angst and pretense.
9:03 Same. I got destroyed by the end boss, and since it too 2~3 hours to GET to him. With no saving. I put the game down and never picked it back up.
DamnDaimen I ended just level grinding for awhile before attempting it again.
I got angry. I wanted the game to be done. So I stoped playing it. The previous grindy section dug at me really hard, and I was tired of FF 3s shit.
Totally understand that viewpoint. I typically just listen to podcasts when I'm level grinding.
How do you compare it to the ending boss of ff5?
This video has the best birth scene in all history and the birth of Jesus is nothing compare to this.
9:00 That awkward moment when ProJared disprove your hate with arguments.
The pixel remaster is a really fantastic way to play this one. It's much more accurate to the NES version, but they rebalanced the entire final dungeon so you don't have to grind for 10 hours just to deal with the final boss. Some classes were rebalanced too so you don't have to make everyone ninjas and sages.
I enjoyed the PR, but really, what reason is there not to be a Ninja or Sage by end game?
@Kent, Knight of Caelin Sages don't get as many high level spell charges as the Devout or Magus, nor are they as powerful with the spells. Curaja was healing about 1500 hp for all members with my sage while my devout was healing like 2500
So you're going to review all the Final Fantasy games now?
I can see him riding this retrospective up to VI (His personal favorite) or VII (The peak of Final Fantasy hype.)

I loved VI as well. I didn't enjoy VII as much as the ones before it. Maybe it's because they were starting to turn Final *Fantasy* into a sci-fi. I hate all Final Fantasy games past IX
StevenUlyssesPerhero He might cover XII since he said on Twitch that it's in his top 5.
Has he played the mmo ones
RandomO5 um no it's not the developers have stated multiple times that each game is set in its own universe with the exception of X2 being the prequel to VII for some dumb reason
Final Fantasy Marathon?
that what i was wondering to i hope so and i hope it leads to a epic rant on 13 that should be fun since jared is always bringing 13 up
Leon Kira honestly I kindof hope he lightens up on it upon replaying. Yeah it starts off really poorly and is corny even by jrpg standards but I feel it gets much more hate than it deserves
I'll concede that it has a nice sound track and it looks pretty but I just don't see how anyone can think that game isn't boring as balls. I had to give up about 15 hours in because the game-play was just so unforgivably boring I couldn't make myself continue.
Hopefully he won't rip on V, IMO the most underrated game in the franchise.
Eric Jones nah he's really enjoy Bravely Default which have same gameplay as FFV
even though I have never played any final fantasy game that intro theme that was after the Chrystal thing still gave my whole body goose bumps in just the right way
I lmao when seeing DnD is the father
Historically it is true
Loved the Birthscene Jared xD
The modern port of ff3 has a considerably better version of Crystal Tower and Cloud of Darkness. In the ported ff3, the tentacles are also enemies that do their own thing alongside CoD (buffing, damage, etc) which adds more depth and variety to the fight. However it still is hell if you aren't close to around level 60, so grinding end game is still an issue (after like 80 attempts I was able to beat CoD at level 52, but it's super stressful at that level)
plus last fight isn't shit show like original, remake did better job and eased up on what jobs you had to use here and there, Onion knight was so broken in that game you can do negative damage I loved it
As I commented elsewhere, the only real downside I can see between modern vs original in modern's side of things is they added the Job Fatigue system (so that you swapped jobs, you were forced to work with nerfed stats of your earned jobs for a bit. Just ran into Garuda and learned you need Dragoons? Better grind that fatigue away!) and the goddamn letter system which is how they locked away Onion Knight. Never did find all the letter senders when I played it last, then again my stats were too low for CoD to win anyway and I think I fizzled out. Definitely defeated Wizard McMortal though.
Speaking of, that's arguably another weakness for FF3, there's no real memorable fights unless they're the bosses that grant you PTSD. The only really memorable thing is arguably the Giant Space Flea From Nowhere, which is probably why for Dissidia CoD wound up the playable character.
The Black Mage's death sprite is it hiding inside it's hat!? That's so cute!
"Farewell, Desh. You were just too tall for this menu screen box." Kills me every time.
Kills him every time too
1:52 Red Wiz!? Black Wiz?! You might want to get that checked out. Don't even get me started on White Wiz...
I wish more old Final Fantasy games got a 3D remake like 3 did.
I'm so glad you make videos. Whenever I'm just chillin I always out these on. I'm truly sorry your family has fallen on hard times. I hope you're all doing well. Thanks keep up the good work!
I know I'm several weeks behind on this, but I've been without internet, and I just wanted to say this was a great video. I think it's one of your best. It's so many of the things I love about ProJared style writing and humor rolled into one.
Hey ProJared. After you finish the Final Fantasy reviews you should do a series on Dragon Quest. Or just play Dragon Quest 7 on 3DS for a much better job system inspired by FF3.
Yes!
Hey Jared do you have like dozens of the same blue shirt or is it the same after all these years?
Its QuackerDuck He has dozens. He explained that on his Q&A panel a few years back I believe.
Am I the only one who tears up immediately every time in these reviews when the Final Fantasy theme plays? I never played any before VII and VIII, but that theme throughout the whole series is just... I'm a nostalgic nerd for lots of things, but that theme is like instant time travel to the best memories of my childhood. The only thing more powerful for me is another theme from the series: Aerith's Theme from VII. Makes me bawl like a baby whenever it plays for more than a few seconds.
The Final Fantasy theme is in FFII. I could swear it is. It's played after you beat the first part of the game. After beating Emperor Mateus's devil half, because he splits in two (Devil half , God half), all the surviving characters celebrate and dance. The theme is played during this cutscene. Then the game continues in the underworld with all the dead characters who eventually have to fight the God half of Emperor Mateus. Actually, I could be mistaken about the timeline here. Perhaps it's after the God half is defeated? But there is a dance sequence where the living characters dance to the FF theme.
This man grew up and made a birthing scene with old cartridges. God bless em. XD haha
God un bless him
@Bombeast God please re bless him and me
