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.
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
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
Man every video you make is just adds to my appreciation for this channel. Keep up the awesome work homie
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
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
Thank you :)
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.
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!
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.
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!
I really enjoy your editing and will definitely watch this over the course of a few days
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
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
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.
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!
My man Rowby, back again with another good video. Keep up the good work dude
i hate this game with a passion and also have a desire for Prompto, this video gets me
2 hours of rowby content? yes please
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 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.
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
It’s insane even after all this time this video is still underrated and in my opinion your best video.
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 undersant the story of TLOU 2 , but I think it could have been conveyed better
Great video! I'm unable to explain how, but I actually felt compelled to come back several times, eventually watching the whole 2 hours.
thank you :)
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.
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? :)
I just want this to be known, I never got the notification for this video. Forgive me Rowby-Chan!!
Make more of these!
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 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"
I was just thinking last night that I needed a new row by video...time to watch this 100 times 😂
I'm Disappointed in myself for not watching this sooner. I'm sorry Lord Rowby: The Final Fantasy God.
No joke, it took me 30 minutes of watching before I realized how long it was
made it to the end, awesome! support comes in all shapes! you got this!
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.
"prompto realized he had no parents"
Instant subscribe!! Thanks for such a good video!
My guy just made a Netflix documentary good job! 👍
This was an awesome video!
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.
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!
dude I dont know why I watched a 2 hour video about a game I never played, but I don't regret it
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 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 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!
YAAAAAAAAS HE'S BACK
1:41:48 personally I enjoy multimedia projects, I find them to be interesting because of the different ways a story can be told. Telling a story with a TV show will be different than putting it on paper, or in a game or song. Different mediums can show sides that would usually be glossed over somewhere else. Other than that love the video :)
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.
Final Fantasy XV made me appreciate Final Fantasy XIII so much more and that says alot.
O. M. G. No wonder you’ve not been uploading.
Hello Rowby I wanted to ask you if you could do a blight guide to us so we understand him better
When did we deserve this, I also tortured myself playing ff15 without dlc and preowned.
Can I get a cookie?
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
I wasnt ready for this, I just wasnt
I need more Rowby, more!!!
This was great. Thank you.
"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...
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
Can you list the word count so I can writhe on the ground in ecstasy
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 gotta say, i liked ff15 a lot when it came out. i was in highschool and still had a spark of joy and life in me, so i wasn't too pressed about its flaws. i went back to play it this year and i was like....severely unimpressed. still have a crush on noctis and prompto tho
Same liked it when it came out I spent so much time doing side quests (including that dumb cup noodles one 🤦) after finally finishing it I never played it again
Oh my goooood he's back
Have you tried level 1 run?
Since you mentioned it you have to do a Metal Gear Riding review too lol
This was a dope video very well presented
Elementia against the Marlboro should just be called dues ex machina
I adore this video! And ffxv, so it's nice to see people talking about it!
Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you :)
@@RowbyVids honestly I bombarded my discord to make them take a look too XD
It's such a shame your non-DBD videos don't get more views, your style rocks
I think the main characters is what carried this game more than anything. I cried like a bitch in the ending
Ive never finished the game, I just play the game and finish everything there is to do before u get the boat then end my playthrough once I get it. I just really like that early game.
I'm sorry I was so late to this. I don't know how I missed this on my que. I'll be honest, I quit playing this game shortly after hearing this constant clicking as the character walks. I think it was his keychain. I'm osd enough that I tried to find a fix for this. There wasn't.
Final Fantasy 15 is an underrated game.
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
Finally… Hope you’re doing good robe
They need to hire you as a burnout tutorial announcer but for final fantasy tutorials.
I think I really enjoyed the game because I'm not a Final Fantasy fan. So I wasn't expecting massive lore dumps like everyone else, or disappointed by admittedly braindead combat. I didn't play any of the side content and I must admit, I see some of the flaws and issues people point out, but overall, I think the game set out to make me feel a particular way and succeeded at every turn. I loved the characters, the bonding moments between friends, the big action set pieces, etc. I felt sad, then incredibly happy for prompto, I was sad about the death of lunafreya (I'm a sucker for romance and you don't have to do much to get me invested) I got mad at gladio when he decided I wasn't allowed to mope about my dead fiance while riding a train where I couldn't do anything anyway, I took some edgy satisfaction in the way Noctis' dialog changed after that, replacing his fun banter between friends with such lines as "die." when he pulled off big attacks, I realized the strength of Ignis' dedication I had taken for granted when he fought while blinded. I loved that the game made you suffer for it to really feel the pain of his tragic story, I loved when the game became linear because it felt dire and urgent and I didn't want to do sidequests once shit started to go down, I fucking cried at the ending and at that beautiful Florence and the Machine rendition of a classic song.
I came away thinking that the game was far from a perfect game, but succeeded completely at what it was trying to do. It made me really feel something and has stuck with me as a result, so I wouldn't change it.
If this game had the combat mechanics of FF7R (the only aspect of that game I’m willing to compliment) but kept the warping I think it could have been remembered as one of the greats. It could have essentially been something similar to what the battles in Episode Duscae felt like. Everything felt more “intentional” instead of the spammy mess we ultimately received. I could tolerate the overly large world map, the mess of a story and all of it’s cut content being sold back to me if the combat mechanics were enough to prop the game up. I feel like it’s so close to being the most satisfying combat system in the series, it just barely misses the mark. If this game were ever remade (I don’t think a remaster would be able to do enough) with some of the features that were left on the cutting room floor over it’s extended development cycle I think it could really be something special. It wouldn’t take much. I had been following this game since Versus XIII was first announced and I can see glimpses of what they were trying to do in the finished product and that’s why it hurts so much that it failed. I doubt it will ever happen, but I would love it if Square revisited this game and fixed it’s many problems. It had so much promise. If it didn’t, we wouldn’t still be talking about It half a decade later. It deserves better and so do we.
dad uploaded
Amazing video thank you
They also added Noctis to The sims 4
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
14:20 is my favorite part ☠
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 🤔.
I’d like to point this out, I played the entire game thinking you could only play noct, so for the entire game I only played noct, never touched any of the other party members and never knew promto could use other weapons so he only used a handgun the entire time, I thought the game was super hard cause I didn’t use the skill tree cause I didn’t know it was a thing, I pretty much challenge ran the game and I didn’t find out any of this till I watched this video
When the game came out Noctis was the only playable character. You could swap your character a little bit after Episode Ignis came out
Damn, well done
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.
Wha..what..I gues i'll watch this this weekend
Are you telling me you havn’t played Episode Ardyn?!
I personally liked it, but never took it too seriously.
Just liked the four boys on a road trip.
Miqo'te look weird outside of XIV, holy moly.
I wish I could like this video twice
So, can we call this a movie?
FFXV was my first final fantasy game and I love it… yet I haven’t beaten it. To be honest, after spending hours taking photos for a fat man, I couldn’t play it for much longer XD
I wonder what you think of the FF16 with it's flashiness now? Cause the actual game is even better lol
I don't like your tastes in video games. I think people who play Dead by Daylight must just hate themselves, lol. Love the content! Subscribed! 💕😂
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.
Idk what else to say except I love you ❤️
