I wanna thank you for doing these, I’ve been playing the games in the series I haven’t beaten yet, and I always get to the final boss and watch your videos BEFORE I go into the boss room. As like a sort of recap, It has allowed me to throughly ingrain myself into the story and world before I finish the amazing games :)
The fantasy genre of the 80s crossed over into sci-fi, fallen high tech dystopia civilisations, and time travel quite often. Ultima 1 had you taken a rocket to the moon, as did FF4.
so incredible that all this plot was a plan by jack garland to train the warriors to be able to defeat darkness, and the real bad guys are the lufenians
Woahhhh bro. Ive played this game since i was like 7 and you just exploded my mind. The Lufenians always struck me weird but yeah, theyre into some sadistic shit
Remember it was a prequel, the first ff1 still doesn't have a story, the first fledged was ff2. They have to completely remake 1 to finish it. Thanks to origins and I'm all for it
Watched 9 first... now going through the whole series. Well done again, sir. I will be sharing this list with anyone I know. Great start. It's going to be an amazing adventure.
Just finished SOP, and it made me teared up. Came back here to refresh on the lore, played FF1 the year it came out, so lots were lost through time since. Thanks for putting this together sir.
I originally beat FF1 in Dawn of Souls and again when the Pixel Remaster came out, I am watching this video as I am about to dive into SOP as a refresher!
Just beat Final Fantasy IX, I've been making my way through the mainline games since the pixel remaster of 1 first landed on Steam. Was curious to see if anyone did a complete story of FFIX and found this channel... May aswell start at the beginning! Love the presentation and voice.
Been running a D&D campaign based on this story. I have to add alot of dialogue, new locations, and more realistic situations. How do level 2 PC's defeat *the finest swordsman in Cornelia*? They don't. Instead, Garland paralyzes them, finishes a ritual, and goes back in time with the princess(who will be the one who starts the prophecy). I also made it to where my PC's DONT have the crystals because the fiends guard them. The Lich, in fact, uses the Crystal of Earth as its phylactory. My friends have been having such a great time and I've really been enjoying giving them a retelling of FF1, my favorite FF.
The epilogue at the end of the game choked me up in FF20th anniversary for the PSP, and it still chokes me up to this day. Why would all those civilizations vanish though? It's not like breaking the chain would wipe them all out.
Final Fantasy needs a remake. I know Strangers of Paradise exists, but I want an original release of this. It would be so cool to this story come to life in beautiful movie cutscenes. Thank you for making this video for us to enjoy.
Strangers in Paradise is an alternative universe prequel to FF1, not a remake. But true. I imagine they do what the 3D remake of FF3 did and give the protagonists of FF1 actual names and backstory
@@BirdsOfPlay I haven't had any issues with them. People have been complaining about font but from what I know it's changeable with a little file manipulation. It's been like 15 years since I played the 1/2 for GBA and I never played 3 so it all feels like a new experience. Auto battle is wonderful for farming mindlessly with one hand while watching TV. My only gripe with it is they are not graphically different enough and feels like a marathon of the same game just a different chapter if that makes sense.
The Pixel Remastered version is basically based off of Origins since the graphics are similar to Dawn of Souls, but you get spell charges up to 9 per level like the NES version of Final Fantasy. Cool.
Working on it! I already have the script for Final Fantasy II. Looking forward to closing the gap between this video and our Complete Story of Final Fantasy VI video.
Love this video! After playing (and loving the heck out of Stranger of Paradise) I wanted to know more about the story of FFI. Thank you for this amazing video!
Boy the comment about Garland once being a respected swordsman sure hits differently in the wake of a certain darker prequel that came out this year that revealed Garland was a man named Jack who was consumed by such an urge to kill Chaos that he became its current embodiment. EDIT: Also, apparently he's still the good guy because he did it to break an endless cycle of suffering. No, I'm not gonna play that game. Well, only if I'm curious.
@@BirdsOfPlay I just finished it, and the storytelling in the game itself is very VERY confusing and it takes the entire game for any semblance of cohesive narrative to come together. It also retcons the original story to make it out so Garland is an anti-hero plotting against the Lufenians who are trying to pacify humanity and use their soul power to keep their paradise higher dimension stable.... or something like that. It's hard to tell what is really going on. A video like this amazing one about that game would be very appreciated.
@@Swiftduck00 It doesn't really retcon FF1, it just fits into the cracks of the story left open due to the simplistic nature of the story of an old game
To make an confusing (and honestly long) story short, the lefenians (the creators of the prophesy) weren't actuall extinguished and dominated the power of time and space, they went to a time beyond and along the "colaborator" and a fixation with achieving balance, developed the stranger project that sends agents to bring and equilibrium thats why garland and the fiends (his friends) came to be, but the lefenians soon realized that the humans and their hearts (yup) cand give way to chaos so they decided to eliminate them, so that's why garland decided to antagonize the lefenians and took the power of time travel from them (supposedly) and he decides to "be" the bad guy so the cycle can happen and the ligh and chaos can be balanced (then the dlc happened and the story become convoluted with the brave exists and the dissidia saga, since the jack garland of dissidia is no the same of the stranger of paradise)
I wonder what next FF Game Square-Enix will remake next after FF7 Planned Trilogy. I don't mean to add too much worry and stress but I thought that this question is worth the shot of thinking about, even if there's gonna be more new FF Entries like XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, etc
So the Four Fiends were created when Garland’s hatred merged with the energy derived from the four elements. He then sent them to the future, but what did he do then? Did he just remain in the past? How would that lead to him living forever?
I've played the first one until I got stuck on some bat boss. It is definitely on my to-do list since I am actively trying to get as good a grasp on the JRPG genre as I possibly can. Aside from playing and replaying Final Fantasy games I am currently playing Grandia for the first time. I'm almost done with it so maybe I should check out an Ys game next.
Incredible video, FF1 does not get the credit it deserves in regards to creating such an amazing story and paving the way for many games to come. The story may not be as intricate as the later games but for a NES game from 1987 this probably was insane to see at the time.
Almost all of the FF games aren't directly connected. They're separate universes in a shared multiverse, which is how some characters like Gilgamesh can appear in multiple games
FF1 in nutshel Encounter enemies every damn 6second😂 Carry 99antidotes since 70%enemy here causes poison each attack Boss is easier than common enemies

Wow, I always thought FF1s story was going to be generic but this is pretty damn good for a game made in 1987. Friggin time travel??
Final Fantasy, always pushing it to the limit!
Yeah how do they come up with these things? Inspiration from many epic places and things..
@@BirdsOfPlay can we get a vid explaining the time loop between this and strangers or paradise

We'll try not to let you down!
having played Stranger of Paradise halfway I can't believe how much they were inspired from original FF lol
I wish I knew why Final Fantasy is titled Final Fantasy because I wanna more about it
Thank you for the narration :)
You're welcome! 🤗
Perfect timing as I just finished 1 and 2, currently towards the end of 3
What do you think of the pixel remasters? Assuming those are the versions you've been playing.

Well this certainly hits different after playing Strangers in Paradise
Our galaxy is moving around a sunny side up… ineteresting
Just finished SoP. Brilliant FFI tribute! Going to have to crack out the FFI pixel remaster now.
This Video is such a treasure! Nice job!
Already have a script for Final Fantasy II. Now we just need some time to do the rest!
at 6:05 i just realized. did you name the knight warrior of light ardbert just homage from ff14???? THAT WAS AMAZING
I'm not crying, you are!
The D&D influences are insane.
Right? I heard Bahamut and thought “oh that’s got to just be a coincidence” and then I heard Tiamat lmao
Literally subscribing for the voice
Thanks for the confidence boost! Glad to have you with us!
This is great, would love one for 2-6
Working on it! Our next video is going to be the complete story of Final Fantasy VI. We will also make videos for II-V. - Nökkvi
Never touched the original, but after I beat Endwalker I will be going through every game in a row.

Forgot to mention the waterfall and the warp cube. Clue is from a robot saying friend went West
Amazing!
I had this game for NES but couldn't grasp the game play and storyline. Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! Glad we could help you put the pieces together!
thank you for the series.
Thanks for watching! More on the way!
I definitely enjoyed listening to this one while at work.
Everyone knows you hit up the Ice Cave and pop over to the Castle of Ordeal to class change before fighting Kary.
Feels like im listening to a great story book
Please do more!!! I love these!!!!

Thanks so much! Loving the love!
Hot damn! Catch me instantly with that voice, music timing, yes, this is amazing
Just finished Stranger of paradise lol found this gem.
We just started Stranger of Paradise! What a coincidence!
I waited the entire video for him to talk about the characters as if they were animals in the wild 😝
Sounds like you might enjoy our "What if Final Fantasy X was a nature documentary" video.
@@BirdsOfPlay sounds like I might. Getting right on it!
I miss playing this
These are incredible!
You're incredible! - Nökkvi
Great work as always friend
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Your voice sounds kinda like the narrator in final fantasy 12
We've been hearing that so much it must be true.
Awesome video!
I like to believe Garland is the narrator righting the story of Final Fantasy before his inevitable last battles to break his loop.
Please do every ff
MAYBE WE WILL
Your voice is awesome
Thanks! 👑 - Pétur

What a beautiful voice.

Basically every 2000 years he 'dies' to the Warriors of Light but instead of actually dying he gets sent back 2000 years over and over again
I just finished final fantasy and I found it difficult to follow the story. I wasn't sure what was going on most of the time.
Hopefully the video was able to help!
when i first heard about final fantasy thought its the name some softcore porns games
Beautiful

I want this voice for my Google assistant and Siri
I don't get why they changed that for Stranger of paradise.
The time loop with Garland was better than the story with Astos and the memories loss...
They didn't change it, it's just a prequel. The time loop is still going on even during SoP
so where is the warrior of light, in final fantasy 2?
Almost all of the FF games aren't directly connected. They're separate universes in a shared multiverse, which is how some characters like Gilgamesh can appear in multiple games
FF2 story is Star Wars, not WoL-ly
Ah, I knew it!
I know, right!
pleasee make it for all of final fantasy from 1 - 16 plss😢

We're here.

I know right!
welp, was hoping this was gonna include the dev of the game AT all, rip
Not that kind of video but that is also a very interesting story!
@@BirdsOfPlay a shame
Hopefully you will be able to find what you are looking for.
So it's a series of fetch quests to progress the story.
Whoa, I thought this was a comment for Final Fantasy I. Not sure how well it applies to Crisis Core but maybe our video gave that impression!
I feel like there's more going on in this story than FF16, actually - haha!~
And now we know Jack Garland created the lore about the warriors of light to break the loop lol
trash writing and story
prequel can just rewritten
Love the stories, hate the voice.... sorry lol
Thanks for watching!
Man you are forcing that voice hard aren't you.
Not really but thanks for the input.
Is there a modern remake of FF1
Ff1 when it was released it did not have a story, the first FF that had a full fledged story was 2.
I swore this was the case
