It’s absolutely criminal that you’re putting this much time and effort into these videos for us, and you’re still not getting the attention you deserve… In any case, thanks for the amazing content!
I came to say this as well, it sucks to work like that and randomly have youtube not respond, but I personally will absolutely watch other longform, disparate media if you make it
I love how the English VAs were intentionally sarcastic as hell when they did the cup noodles quest and were shocked when those were the takes that made it into the game.
I've got to say, I don't know anything about Final Fantasy or care about it all that much, but I trusted you as a creator and watching this all the way and was thoroughly entertained. You summed up the ridiculously spread apart story in a surprisingly concise (for 2 hours) way that was too the point but still interesting and emotional. Good stuff! I'm super happy I gave it a chance. Also Trickster Explained by A Jerk when? :)
What an amazing video, one of your best yet, hell, I stopped watching you for just DBD and started watching you just for being yourself, the reason why I enjoyed your DbD videos was not just because I'm a fan of the game but because I'm a fan of you, this video is a masterpiece and I hope you keep going at it, making content like this, wether long or short, I just want you to be in it. As for Omori, I really want to play it, it comes out on switch soon so I'll finally have a chance, I hope you make a video about it since you not only keep bringing it up but because it's a good game you actually enjoy s lot from what I've seen, see you next video, Rowby
Was worried cuz I hadn't seen a post in a while and then you come out with this monster of a video. You sir are underrated af with the amount of time and effort you put into these.
This is such a personal video, and it shows how much work you put in it. I love it, and I hope that one day you get as much attention as you deserve for it.
final fantasy 15 was my first final fantasy game. i played it in high school, years after royal edition came out. it was also the first game that made me feel something throughout it all, and i love it. it kickstarted my emotional development as a person, which is probably a little crazy given its flaws and all but regardless i appreciate what it has done for me
After listening to this, you can definitely tell you put the work in and how you felt about the game. You can tell it definitely impacted you toward the end of the video. Also would love to see something like this again from you. Despite all the jokes and jabs at the game it felt genuine to. Keep up the good work my dude. See ya when your next vid pops up!
damn ... i just watched the whole video in one take without even having played a single ff game nor do i know anything about the story and so on, still this was the most entertaining video i have watched in a while. Dude, u are a god damn legend for making this one
Rowby: You could also just click off the video, It's saves your spot for you. It's not 2011 you know. Me: *Checks how long the video is* Holy shit, so that's where you've been for the past 2 months Edit: Also this man spent several months probs even a year working on this 2 hour video of a game he cares about and it has only 28k views compared to all of his jerk's guides to dbd having at minimum like 100k views each
I know nothing about FF but i sat through the whole video because rowby is super entertaining and keeps me engaged with plenty of humour. I do hope he blows up in this kind of content and not just DBD.
FF15 was awful. Especially the second half of it. If they had just kept it as a couple of friends on a road trip adventure, the game would have been fine.
I will level with you Rowby, I might not have watched this video if I wasn't convinced how much this project ment to you at the end of your DBD Ring video. Thanks dude.
I remember playing FFXV day 1 and enjoying it faults and all including Chapter 13 before the update. These days, I can't get into it. It suffers from mid 2010s open world problems that put me off after having further developed my rpg palate. Mostly the loads of empty space with nothing to do and the same 3 side quests in slightly different flavors to keep me occupied between main quest missions. I instead get lost in the pinball and fishing minigames, forget where I am in the story, and restart because I can't be bothered to remember plot points up to the first Crow's Nest Diner and see the pinball machine.
Even though I've never played a final fantasy game, damn this vid was good. Its nice to have both objective analysis/a bit of a history lesson about a game, while also combining one individual's own personal feelings about it. I'm glad you took the time to make what you wanted, because I really think you did the game justice, and it was entertaining, funny, informative, emotional and all around a good watch. Great work man.
I’ve never beaten this game, but I find the story surrounding it to be fascinating. Great video and it deserves a million views for all the effort you put into it!
"It's possible that throughout this video you'll notice I swap to Prompto a lot and it's not just because I wanna top him." I was lying in bed and it was like 2am and I lost it laughing...
I always go into your videos (especially the longer ones) with the idea that “Hey i really like this guy but ill just watch this video until i get bored” but here I am, having watched a 2 hr video about a series i have never played, dont care about, and all because the funny cartoon man makes jokes every now and then. 10/10, would do again
Hey Rowby, I have been watching you for a while now (your videos are amazing and you are sooo underrated) and I loved the ffxv joke you made in that one video (possibly jerks guide to wraith about episode gladius ignis and prompto) because ffxv is my favourite game. I was so excited when I saw you made a 2 HOUR LONG VIDEO on ffxv and by the title I already knew you felt the same way I do about it (kinda dumb, but it hits the feels). I just watched it and I have to say, I could not agree more with all of your thoughts on it plus the video is as entertaining as a chocobo. It's okay. I cried too.
I literally dont care for final fantasy or Jrpgs but I finished the video and I'm glad that despite its flaw you really like the game. We all have those one or two games that needed more polish or gameplay reworks but we love them regardless.
Just so you know Rowby, I'm surprised that you haven't been able to do many collabs with other creators (except for you making Bakamatsu screech like a crow). With this amount of effort, with enough collabs on your side, I think that your channel could skyrocket to the 100K mark really easily. Also... Onryo Explained by A Jerk when? :)
This was such a treat to watch and heartbreaking how little attention it has gotten. I encourage you to keep branching out and making content that you want to make instead of locking yourself to dbd.
I've beaten the game twice, played over 200 hours and I'm now trying to 100% the game. My verdict. It's terrible, and I hate it. The game doesn't feel rushed, it feels procrastinated and I think this might be the one rare occasion where the developer owes the company an apology.
Considering the fact that Nomura kept changing the story of the game on an average of every three months for years. Effectively meaning that whatever his team made had to be scrapped. When Tabata was put in charge, he had to write an entire story and get the ffxv team to complete a game within three years based on nothing but concept art and poorly thought out ideas. And then, halfway through development, they had to stop what they were doing to learn how to code in a brand new engine and try to port or recreate everything they had built into the Luminous engine. On top of all of that, they had an extremely strict deadline that they could not go over. I think in that situation, Nomura and Square Enix owes Tabata and the team who made ffxv an apology. If Nomura could actually settle on what game he wanted to make or if Square hadn't forced Tabata and his team to switch engines halfway through development, then the game would have most likely been a lot better because the developers would have had more time to work on the actual game.
@@Sam-lf3hnlol if Tabata had any actual talent then maybe, otherwise what he managed to “salvage” was genuinely embarrassing and would’ve been better off outright cancelled
Your videos that aren't about dbd are better but they get way less views, sadly. I hope you keep doing content like this, I wish the best for your channel.
This is legit the best video I have seen in a long while. Thank you for the hard work and time it took to make such great content my dude! You are the best TH-camr in the game. Keep up the great work!
Bought this game cause of ghe flying car on the back of the box, during play I thought there was going to be more then 1 map and we were gonna go on a grand adventure. No you stay in 1 area. Getting to the end of the game I read something that says you get the flying car after beating the game. I spent the whole game not doing what I bought it for. Playing it years later and doing some actual googling reveled the car part was at the top of the map and wasn't a quest given by cidny which means I could of done it way sooner
I think I've watched this videos 2-3 times and I still come back to it. You have the same feelings about this game as me. Its such a mess but I still love it for some reason.
I absolutely loved this, to be frank I didn't quite care for the final fantasy series but this video really made me wanna buy 15! I always love the work you do man, keep up the work!
I think freedom can work, but it needs some kind of mechanical hook in the way it interacts with the level up system giving a sense of progression. Shin Megami Tensei V i think does freedom of what you use in a way that perfectly combines the dopeamine dump of a level up through demon fusion, and giving you a level of customization by building their kits in fusion. Along with how you can develop the niche of your MC and develop your team to supplement him. It both increased replayability and makes your character feel like a role you're playing. it's cool
I heard that there was a theory. Where the game was ment to have bahamut as the true final boss. And noctis would fight him with along side Ardyn . As a sort of fight against fate. I especially since bahamut was the one who caused alll these events to happen over and over again
I don't think that's how it would go. The main core of the story is that Noctis is someone doomed by fate, but the people in his life rally together to make it worth living anyway. If he defies fate, there's basically no point to it anymore.
@@RowbyVids well yes that’s the core of it now. Though before hand a different meaning probably was the case . Well..before it went through all that time in development perhaps 🤔.
Ow, it hurts that the new DBD video got more views in less than 12 hours than this one got in 2 weeks despite there being so much effort being put into this one. TH-cam sucks.
Great video essay. I found your referring to Sho twewy a bit excessive, but I understand how he can be annoying to some. I understand I’m a biased as I’m a huge fan of that series. If you are willing to try neo again he’s only on the party for the first week and rarely engages with other Npc’s
I bought this game day 1 and was in the hype train. I was more than just upset when I completed it due to how incomplete the game was when compared to the mess that it is today. I have not played it since.
"I wrote almost 70 pages you have to disagree with something I said", yep assassin's Creed is really good and you don't know what you're talking about Great vid
i pray that FF16 is good so we can finally have a mainline entry (because my life as a king is GOAT) in the past 20 years that isn't "pretty bad, but it has some ok bits"
It’s absolutely criminal that you’re putting this much time and effort into these videos for us, and you’re still not getting the attention you deserve… In any case, thanks for the amazing content!
The youtube algorithm
He’s going to blow up fairly soon, man’s too based to not go viral.
I came to say this as well, it sucks to work like that and randomly have youtube not respond, but I personally will absolutely watch other longform, disparate media if you make it
I love how the English VAs were intentionally sarcastic as hell when they did the cup noodles quest and were shocked when those were the takes that made it into the game.
Damn, dude! You did it!! Congrats!!! :D All your hard work paid off and made something amazing!!
Thanks, I couldn't have done it with out you
I've got to say, I don't know anything about Final Fantasy or care about it all that much, but I trusted you as a creator and watching this all the way and was thoroughly entertained. You summed up the ridiculously spread apart story in a surprisingly concise (for 2 hours) way that was too the point but still interesting and emotional. Good stuff! I'm super happy I gave it a chance. Also
Trickster Explained by A Jerk when? :)
Holy shit I didn’t even realize he hasn’t done Trickster yet
Man every video you make is just adds to my appreciation for this channel. Keep up the awesome work homie
How are you not mainstream yet? These videos are a fucking marvel. Waiting for your come up my dude.
i have not played a final fantasy game. i have not cared about the series. however
im ready
What an amazing video, one of your best yet, hell, I stopped watching you for just DBD and started watching you just for being yourself, the reason why I enjoyed your DbD videos was not just because I'm a fan of the game but because I'm a fan of you, this video is a masterpiece and I hope you keep going at it, making content like this, wether long or short, I just want you to be in it.
As for Omori, I really want to play it, it comes out on switch soon so I'll finally have a chance, I hope you make a video about it since you not only keep bringing it up but because it's a good game you actually enjoy s lot from what I've seen, see you next video, Rowby

After listening to this, you can definitely tell you put the work in and how you felt about the game.
You can tell it definitely impacted you toward the end of the video. Also would love to see something like this again from you.
Despite all the jokes and jabs at the game it felt genuine to.
Keep up the good work my dude.
See ya when your next vid pops up!

Thank you :)
I was SO excited to soo you updating. Now 2 minutes in I see that this is 2 HOURS long. Lord have mercy I won't sleep enough tonight.
Rowby: You could also just click off the video, It's saves your spot for you. It's not 2011 you know.
Me: *Checks how long the video is* Holy shit, so that's where you've been for the past 2 months
Edit: Also this man spent several months probs even a year working on this 2 hour video of a game he cares about and it has only 28k views compared to all of his jerk's guides to dbd having at minimum like 100k views each
Ironically enough that feature seemed to hate working on this rewatch. It would always be like 10 minutes behind.
I know nothing about FF but i sat through the whole video because rowby is super entertaining and keeps me engaged with plenty of humour.
I do hope he blows up in this kind of content and not just DBD.
FF15 was awful. Especially the second half of it. If they had just kept it as a couple of friends on a road trip adventure, the game would have been fine.
You’re content is masterfully crafted and I can’t wait to see your rise; will keep doing my part by rewatch all your content!
My man Rowby, back again with another good video. Keep up the good work dude
I really enjoy your editing and will definitely watch this over the course of a few days
2 hours of rowby content? yes please
I just want this to be known, I never got the notification for this video. Forgive me Rowby-Chan!!
I will level with you Rowby, I might not have watched this video if I wasn't convinced how much this project ment to you at the end of your DBD Ring video.
Thanks dude.
I'm Disappointed in myself for not watching this sooner. I'm sorry Lord Rowby: The Final Fantasy God.

YAAAAAAAAS HE'S BACK
dude I dont know why I watched a 2 hour video about a game I never played, but I don't regret it
the toughest boss battle was the pink jade jar. also damn i wish i had gotten the royal edition
I think I've watched this videos 2-3 times and I still come back to it. You have the same feelings about this game as me. Its such a mess but I still love it for some reason.
O. M. G. No wonder you’ve not been uploading.
I absolutely loved this, to be frank I didn't quite care for the final fantasy series but this video really made me wanna buy 15! I always love the work you do man, keep up the work!
Returning to peak Rowby
"prompto realized he had no parents"
He had one
Cuz in the dlc he kills him and in the main story he dies idk how
When did we deserve this, I also tortured myself playing ff15 without dlc and preowned.
Can I get a cookie?
Make more of these!
Me: Oh god, I can't find a day to watch a 90 minute movie
Also me: Let's start watching a 127 minute video
Now I’m excited to see more reviews from other lil games. And with Twewy reference and Omori reference, I’ll be waiting to see more.
15 was my first but I can never replay because the combat is awful I loved everything else but the combat always felt unfinished
Hello Rowby I wanted to ask you if you could do a blight guide to us so we understand him better
It's such a shame your non-DBD videos don't get more views, your style rocks
made it to the end, awesome! support comes in all shapes! you got this!
I adore this video! And ffxv, so it's nice to see people talking about it!
Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you :)

They need to hire you as a burnout tutorial announcer but for final fantasy tutorials.
Yo, this video is cool and all, but could you make a version of the video that never ends? I'm not ready to let go of this game yet... :(
I wasnt ready for this, I just wasnt
Are you telling me you havn’t played Episode Ardyn?!
Finally… Hope you’re doing good robe
I loved this game. I bawled my eyes out with this game. I would compare the emotional weight of this game to devilman crybaby
Instant subscribe!! Thanks for such a good video!
Elementia against the Marlboro should just be called dues ex machina

As someone who has also put countless hours into this game, Thank you
Ardyn drinking Mountain Dew sent me
ROWBYYYYYYYYYY IDK IF YOU GON SEE THIS OR IF YOU REMEMBER ME BUT ITS BEEN A WHILE I LOVE YOUR VIDS BRO THOUGHT ID SAY THAT…AGAIN
Oh my goooood he's back
Great video essay. I found your referring to Sho twewy a bit excessive, but I understand how he can be annoying to some. I understand I’m a biased as I’m a huge fan of that series. If you are willing to try neo again he’s only on the party for the first week and rarely engages with other Npc’s

I need more Rowby, more!!!
The only thing ffxv has given me is so so so many images of best boy prompto and so it's a 10/10 for me
I personally liked it, but never took it too seriously.
Just liked the four boys on a road trip.
They also added Noctis to The sims 4
"I wrote almost 70 pages you have to disagree with something I said", yep assassin's Creed is really good and you don't know what you're talking about
Great vid
This was an awesome video!
oh yeah its dumb, but goddamn i love it
I wish I could like this video twice
Cool vid!
Made me simultaneously want to, and not want to play this game.
... In a good way I mean.
Have you tried level 1 run?
I saw the video and was yaaa then while watching then I saw how long we’ll I guess I will watch about 17 times
Since you mentioned it you have to do a Metal Gear Riding review too lol
dad uploaded
This was a dope video very well presented
i pray that FF16 is good so we can finally have a mainline entry (because my life as a king is GOAT) in the past 20 years that isn't "pretty bad, but it has some ok bits"
Wha..what..I gues i'll watch this this weekend
Miqo'te look weird outside of XIV, holy moly.
14:20 is my favorite part ☠
