Advent Children isnt bad i dont think. Also if youre gonna over saturate something you can do worse than 7. 8 has always been my favorite FF
i always said advent children was not bad and was in fact a very good film and deepened the world of ff7 but I had only seen the complete delux edition or whatever it is called. My little brother has started to get into FF now due to no influence from me, I swear. When he was at the shops he saw advent children on dvd and brought it home but it was the original version and jesus was it just awful, things are out of place the story makes no sense. The complete version reorders some of the scenes and adds 1 or 2 extra but it makes so much difference. The original advent child sucks but the complete version is one hell of a film
this is probably the least toxic comment section ive ever seen
Honestly, I enjoy FF8 fanfiction more than I enjoyed the actual game. Love me some fix-it-fic~
Me whispering "but crisis core is good..."
Jared: "well actually"
Me: "there it is"
Hecks yeah it's good
I loved the modern remake, so yeah, I concur, it's really good.
Is already end of 2019 and still no new FF Tactics.
Wow, everybody is hyped because of his new FF videos? Gee.
Some of us a here to rewatch his videos.
That might not be a Tactics game
@@jimothysbevenson5656 I dont agree that FF6 is good though. I notice people who dislike FF7 and FF8 the most are often hardcore FF6 fans. Which is the game i hate most. But i do like listening to Projareds views on FF games despite not always agreeing : D
@@kejiri3593 well this is where I stand on the subject. FF6 isn't bad in anyway but I do think a bit overrated. Take that as you will as this is coming from someone who has uncommon opinions And loves every Final Fantasy game.
A Realm Reborn really is one of the greatest comebacks in gaming history.
They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
A comeback that rivals projared himself
It’s still no FFXI
@@GeorgeZimmermen friend its the most popular ff game now, it has far surpassed ff11. Its also worth noting that besides being MMO's, they are very different games, and as such comparison beyond popularity based off of player numbers is subjective.
@@AquaticFlower2233 could care less how popular it is or how many people play it. Anyone who was around during the FFXI old days knows that experience was special and won’t be replicated by any other online FF. Not XIV or any after.
I partially blame the over-exploitation of Final Fantasy VII on the fans themselves. People gush over the game like it's the absolute best thing ever that can't ever be topped, the same kind of absurd argumentation like Ocarina of Time and Half-Life 2. The games are fine, but they aren't the best ever. There are better open-world adventure games than Ocarina of Time, there are better FPS games than Half-Life 2, and yes, there are better JRPGs than Final Fantasy VII.
I agree, FF7 wasn't even the best FF game on the PS1 nor was it the best JRPGs either.
unspoken rule of video games: if it is fantastic, the fans will ruin it
In Ocarina of Time's case I feel like it gets too much attention while it's successor Majora's Mask(Which i feel is the overall better game) got completely overshadowed by it. Not saying that Ocarina doesn't deserve the acclaim it got but I feel that some exaggerate it. I hear a similar argument to Final Fantasy Vl and Vll only in reverse as Vll coming out after Vl going 3D overshadowed it.

***** probably just nostalgic appeal. super mario 64 is not much special nowadays, but i still hold it in high regard because it was a large part of my childhood alongside mario party (the latter i unfortunately cannot relive)
I still have the free T-shirt that came with FF 7.
I wore it too much
I didn't know they did that.
Which version the original or remake cause I ain’t get a shirt with either
Hard to believe only 4 years separate mystic quest from FF7.
"Please give us a new Tactics!!"
*The Monkey's Paw closes a finger.... Sqaure unveils a new FFT....on Mobile...and it's a gatcha game with absurd rates on getting high tier characters and rigged in such a fashion you need to pay money*
"WHY?!?! WWHYYY?!?!!? WWWWWHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!"
Screw Gacha games. Just, screw 'em.
Final Fantasy Tactics: Heroes?
WAIT A MINUTE
Did... you just predict the future?
Prediction before watching the video:
The worst thing Final Fantasy ever did was that godawful cellphone cash-grab.
Called it
He screwed up and claimed wrongly that it has a purchase price though when it's actually free. I mean it is a shitty cash grab with microtransactions and also not a good game, but it doesn't have a purchase price. He needs to at least annotate the video.
Actually it did have a purchase price in the beginning, 4$ I believe.
When it came out it wasn't free 2 play. That's right, it was a gachapon style freemium idler that you had to pay money to download.
wait, he said "at the first place " in 10:01. that mean he know it's f2p now
A BIG reason that 6 gets so shafted all the time is that it's apparently incredibly unpopular in Japan. 4 and 5 are far, far more popular there, and none of them hold a candle to 7 of course, so Square tends to kind of just... forget about 6 from time to time.
B-but why did 5 get the same shitty treatment. I liked that game more than 6 :-(
no idea, other than cash grab laziness i suppose.
VI is my favourite game (Which 6 we talking bout FF III?)
Yes the one that was released on SNES as FFIII is more correctly titled FFVI.
Yeah well that one is my fav
3:52 this aged well ff7 just got a bunch of spinoffs announced today
The worst thing final fantasy has done was inspire the people to make the final fantasy house
Final Fantasy House was my favourite game
LOL
So uh what is tue final fantasy house ive never heard of it
@@mysteryboxgaming74 Here's the video link for "Down The Rabbit Hole". You probably won't believe what you're about to see.
@@NicholasRodriguezN7 You didn't leave a link.
WE NEED A NEW FINAL FANTASY TACTICS GAME. SERIOUSLY.
And if they mess it up?
I really hope they don't.
You and me both. I'm just saying that because knowing when to stop is how timeless classics are made. Like BattleToad, Toejam&Earl, Earthworm Jim and not like Sonic or Mario.
tbf i think they messed up a2 and many hardcore tactics fans think they screwed up a1 lol. So, as far as screwing up it seems every new tactics recruits a new fanbase that get pulled into the originals. from a veteran perspective screwing up seems to be how tactics gets its money's worth.
And then Nintendo comes in all like "Yo dawg I heard you like tactics games so we put Fire Emblem in your Final Fantasy Tactics so we put tactics in your tactics!"
"The story sucks, (shows scene of main character) This idiot sucks!" I almost choked on my soda, hahah.
Don C same
Final Fantasy game RPG and SNES
(NES) not inside? (RPG) awesome
🇦wesome

0:26 Jared: "Don't worry I wont leave out their worst games."
*Shows Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles*
Me: "Boi...."
0:32 Jared: "Not this one, this game is rad.
Me: "....of the good variety"
@Jesus Christ God damn, it's like youve never gone outside in your life
@Farflung Should have kept quiet, honestly.
@Farflung More like Captain Obvious. It's often wise to stay tour tongue.
@Farflung The thing you did wrong was comment on it in a thread that had no mention of it whatsoever. You took up arms when it wasn't needed. Simple as that. I'm not saying I'm better, so it's not like I'm trying to take some form of "moral high ground". I was wrong too, and so were you.
Why does he hate 8 so much?
10:41 to 10:48
And THIS is why, Jared, Squarenyx will keep doing what they do.
Because they KNOW you'll buy it anyway.
@Manek Iridius Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong. Companies will always do what the easiest thing to do to make the most money is. If we stop buying their cheap shit like Todie85 says, they will stop making cheap shit. That does NOT mean that they will stop making Final Fantasy altogether.
Sure, some goddamn idiot executive might probably say "Oh well, dead franchise!" but the thing about goddamn idiot executives is that they tend not to stay in power very long because they are goddamn idiots. As soon as someone competent looks over previous data and trends and says "Wow, when we make a quality product, we make a boatload of money!" we will get quality products.
But your solution is to continue giving them boatloads of money for shitty products, so guess what they are going to continue doing?
@@HeroStevyn Problem is that SE, unlike many other companies, actually DO give a shit and fix things, hence why people do give them more and more money.
Actually, after seeing what Jared did to his wife, I doubt Square Enix will be willing to sell him their products.
@Jesus Christ you do realize I was joking... right?
Sephy congratulations
Now, how about a Top Ten Best Things Final Fantasy Has Done?
That would be pretty cool.
this
yeah that'd be awesome
all FF fans seem to do is complain about everything that isn't their favorite FF
tactics would probably be number 1
Bravely Default probably :P
Not remaking Final Fantasy VI on the 3DS or even the Vita is one of the greatest oversights Square has made beyond their teases of mobile games. Just imagine a remastered soundtrack coupled with the visuals of Final Fantasy IV DS but...better plus the bonuses of Final Fantasy VI Advance.
you know if they did that then it would be action rpg where you could only play as terra, locke and celes
A 3DS version would be pretty amazing to see.
not really, because now theres the possibility of it getting a proper remake on consoles, and a couple SE guys already stated the desire to do that after the remake of my favorite final fantasy, VII
***** you might be right on that one
I've never played VI because I've been waiting for a III/IV style remake all this time. Aaall this time...
I really want them to do a remake of FF9! Favorite in the series!!!
If they did do a IX Remake, I hope they do it faithfully. If they pulled a VIIR treatment on IX, then I'd be super sad.
Hopefully after VII Remake
Yeah.
remake or a sequel
They would stretch the story as thinly as possible. Think: _Hobbit_ trilogy.
The evil forest alone would be an entire game at full price. Enix is both greedy, and creatively bankrupt.
Man, the remake of 6 really dropped the ball. I can see why you loved 6 so much originally, it does look great. It’s definitely got the best Chocobo theme.
I feel ya with final fantasy V and VI port, I will never see farris in official 3d
penis
At least World of Final Fantasy will give Faris a speaking role.
Gamemaniac01 a lot of japanese male characters in videogames look like girls anyway
Why won't they do right by my pirate waifu?
To fair though, they did make Bravely Default, which somehow did FFV better than FFV itself.
SuperSillyKitten
You're not married to Faris. She'll fuck whoever she wants.
I feel a sudden urge to play FF Tactics again
or tactics ogre ;)
or SMT: Devil Survivor
Or Disgaea
Dayum I miss them hard as f*ck.
A2 is great but they fucked up the % level hard. its xcom levels of bullshit. rest of the game is friggin addicting tho.
Waited for FFXIV 1.0 to pop up.
Yup, there it is.
That thing was a MESS.
Worst things Jared has done: Playing Hydlide
What?
@@milito537 you don't wanna know
Yeah.
OOF.
Buying too many scratch-off lottery cards.
I don't get all the VIII hate.
Edit: I apologize that most of these replies are about 7. I am never using Roman numerals again.
Kyle Langdon I don't get the hate for 13 or 8 for that matter
I dislike 13 and 13-2 but in my opinion Lightning returns was alright.
I tried 3 separate times to like this game and I just didn't like it.
People hate it because it's popular. Same reason people hate on any big release nowadays. It's retardedly stupid but thats where we are in society right now....rip.
shitty story, gameplay, and the twist can be seen coming a mile away
I love FF7 so much, but I hate what they did to Cloud. In the remake, I fear they'll make Cloud too angsty and Aeris too pure and innocent, when that wasn't the point of either character originally. And I love FF8 lol
Gary Benjamin Holt Jr. I hope they make aeris as sweet as I imagined her lol only think I worry about is the world map and the highwind!!
Ash Brundle Aeris was nice, but she wasn't *just sweet. Aeris had a spunky, sort of rebellious side to her that made her really interesting. She wore pink so you would think she would be sweet and innocent, but she wasn't really innocent. If anyone was the pure, innocent type, it was Tifa
Gary Benjamin Holt Jr. Oh yeah dude I know what you're saying, I've played the Fuck out of that game so I could always tell how she was but there was certainly a sweetness to her, at least how I imagined it, not as sickeningly as in kingdom hearts as that was awful!! But more how she was in crisis core, just more playful, I can't really explain what I mean!
Ash Brundle I know what you mean ☺ Playful definitely describes her to a T. I hope they don't lose that in the remake...
Gary Benjamin Holt Jr. Amen
7:46 😂😂😂😂😂, aw man, if you had ended the video with one more “WHY?!” I probably would have hit the floor laughing lol nuff said
@Farflung "Well good for you, you're wrong" -TFS Cell
@@caitsith3.0
A man of culture.
"Pleeease be good."
And boy was it!
I dunno, Cloud being in Smash is great to me.
Yeah it was great, but the context Jared was saying is there's too many Cloud in every square released games since 7
Even in the original Tactics game, there's a lengthy quest to get Cloud for your squad... and you recruit him at level 1, where the rest of your squad is already around 50-70, give or take.
Yep. Square literally DID ruin his character. He went from being a dude who suffered from the fact that he was living someone else's life and then feeling like crap once he realized it to, as MANY of his other appearances suggest, the guy who's"(apparently important but too cool to help with much (looking at you Kingdom Hearts) and a complete emotional wreck (actually I kinda blame the vocal majority of haters for that, although movies like Advent children only help their point.)"
I love Cloud in Smash, but he's got a whole different set of problems with the casuals complaining to the FGC that he's too broken, which he ISN'T. He's got blatant weaknesses, and there are more than enough upper-mid to top-tier characters to counter him. Hope we don;t get another balance patch, because seriously SCREW the Smash 4 casuals, the meta is fluctuating WAY too much. If 1.1.6 is the final patch, we can finally establish a consistent growing meta. I've never seen any other fighting game with such a large group of whiners.
I know people hate on the whole (you've gotta adapt, not complain) argument, but when you complain to the point of someone else's favorite character getting nerfed to all high-hell, you can seriously ruin the game for someone. Especially for DLC characters like Cloud, even though it's easy to say that making characters that you pay extra for good like Cloud is just "Pay2Win," but let's be realistic, most people don't buy a product if it isn't good enough. People WANT the extra stuff they buy to be worth the money. I feel like with how all of the dlc characters are right now, they mostly all hit the nail right on the head.
Me too! He's one of my new mains, actually. (yes, I'm one of those weirdos who has multiple mains per game)
The point is that Cloud is Square's Wolverine. The character they trot out whenever they want to make some money and with little regard as to whether or not it makes sense for him AS a character.
Wolverine is the perfect comparison too, because both Logan and Cloud have a decent amount of depth and a darker toned backstory that works within the context of their source material, but when the characters show up on the next Fruit Roll Up commercial or whatever, those tones have to be jettisoned or kiddified up in ways that just makes them seem ridiculous.
I come back to this vid every once in a while just to watch that intro of Jared's mad turn to the camera.
Ya gotta love how the Exploitation of Final Fantasy VII is at #7 on the list!
"exploiting the hell out of final fantasy 7"
well, you've seen nothing yet it's only gonna get worse after the remake lmao.
I liked FFXII... someone?
12 was ok.
To be fair the downhill started from after the FFXII
Not something like 6 or 9 (nothing will be better than 9), but it was kinda fun. I just think that it doesnt deserve to be at the top of Worst Final Fantasy games so often, since it can be fun for some.
I enjoy 12 to a degree. The gameplay is fun for what it is, and the license board system is something I adore. I still replay 12 every now and again. I think my main beef with it is how uninteresting the world is and how bland the art direction is.
Vercusgames
This makes a lot of sense, and explains a lot too.
WON'T ANYBODY GIVE FFIX SOME LOVE???????? i here people liking 6,7,8 10 and even 13 SO WHY NOT 9???????
9 is my second fav after 8 :3
v1ct0r1n01 I bet nobody even knows about XII. No really, nobody acknowledges it. I don't know if the even should.
Who left 9 out? Why?
9 is widely considered one of the best if not the best one in the series by most hardcore FF fans.
7 and 10 have the most mass appeal, but Tactics, 6, and 9 are what I see get the most acclaim from diehard FF fans.
Yeah, I don't hear bad things about 9 only good. It's like 4 a great game that's not over hyped. 6, 7 and 10 are so popular they became a cliche. Also, I loved 7 and 10, but they had the worst main characters.
4:45 3 years late on this but... Cloud in Smash WAS and IS truly great!
Honestly
Im hyped for the remake
I just hate that Square was stingy and didn't let them add any music
Honestly I love Cloud in Smash. I think ever since Brawl, Smash has been this celebration of games as a whole, and having all different characters, especially the third party ones really emphasizes that
I don't mind that Cloud is in Smash, but his appearance in Smash 4 was horrendously annoying to play against and single-handedly killed my interest in the game. Bayonetta was more frustrating, sure, but she at was fun to play and at least provided a cool spectacle even if you were the one getting bodied. Cloud aka Up-Air: The Character was linear, repetitive, and so, so DULL. Just another anime swordfighter with the same disjoint-spacing playstyle, no fun combo potential, and just a couple of flashy charge-up attacks that weren't particularly interesting or novel.
I'm not an FF fan so maybe that's where my difference in opinion comes from, but I enjoy Smash Ultimate considerably more given that Cloud is significantly less prevalent in the player base, and frankly, I consider that reasonable indictment of bad design. I strongly feel Sakurai and company let me down in introducing me to one of the most iconic characters in gaming history in such a thoroughly unenjoyable fashion.
Rewatching all your videos to show support and to remind you how awesome you can be with these reviews. Hope you get your flow back Jared!
why does ffVIII get so much hate? I really enjoyed it.
decent game yes, but most people hate on the Junction system
Spending minutes at a time spamming Draw whenever a new magic shows up, often enough that Draw takes up hours of your total game. Casting magic that is junctioned weakens you for the rest of the battle. Switching between the main party and the Laguna party doesn't always carry over the magics correctly so you have to shuffle things around to get things working again.
The story is fine. The rest of the battle system is fine. The world and exploring it is fine. The stat system, magic, and junctioning is annoying to a repeat player, and confusing for a new one.
Also the leveling system. Leveling is outright bad for you, as enemies get stronger more quickly than you do. Playing low level, a challenge in most games, is the correct way to play FF8.
Ugh... you didn't have to draw, just use the function of the summons too convert items into magic. The draw system was maybe for the hardcore to get 100+ ultimas and max everything at the end of the game.
Spamming GF, strong but super time consuming, hell there is even a stupid spell that allows relentless Limit Break.
Albeit that spell only gives you the bare minimum of what would be considered for a Limit Break. Squall usually gets less shots from his Renzokuken when using that spell, meaning he can't use Rough Divide or Lionheart, or at least it's incredibly rare. Doing a legitimate Limit Break often gives you better results.
I agree about FF7 being milked to death its a reason why I find 7 the best game for me personally but I hate how they have fucked up the 7 universe
you took the words right out of my mouth. I love final fantasy 7 but square milking it to death is THE reason why it's gotten hate over the years
Yeah, I didn't bother with all the spinoffs. The original sets a high bar, and I didn't want to be disappointed. Classic case of not leaving well enough alone.
I agree 110%. To me all the FF7 spinoffs aren't canon.
This is why you can not trust a square penis with your money!
Oh boy... I'm curious to see your thoughts on the Remake.
Is everyone getting projared on there recommendations And honestly I’m not complaining
Yes. What happened to him is awful. I'm even angrier with myself for basically just accepting it because most other people did.
@@Vereid True indeed.
Their
dragon beta z who cares
I love that there is someone out there that their two favs are 6 and tactics! 7 introduced me but 6 and tactics blew my mind! Kefka for president!
VII is to Final Fantasy as Ocarina of Time is to Zelda.
Both came out around the same time too.
they are both still one of the best in their respective franchises. Though to be honest I prefer (for both of them) the one that came before them :D
Don't forget
-Terrible camera/control issues
-Annoyingly repetitive, short music loops
-Extremely limited map size between loading zones
-Nostalgia covered goggles preventing objective reviews
On the contrary though oot got a 3ds port and that's what I play it on so...
Square not putting virtual console releases of their games on 3ds is something that would be on my list. I would LOVE to play the snes final fantasy 6 on my 3ds when im on the go instead of the crummy looking release that's on the Android market ☹
Well then download an emulator onto your phone and have a grand old time.
That's one of the use of the vita, I have all final fantasy games from 1 to 10-2 on it, it's pretty cool.
When a game company forces you to use emulators, THAT'S when we know they suck ass.
No company "forces" you to do anything. You don't have a "right" to everything you want exactly how you want it.
FFV and FFVI deserve more than IoS or android, I don't care if it's a port or remake I would be hyped AF if they were on the 3DS until then I've got DQVII.
Final Fantasy Tactics Collection would be a GODSEND on the switch! I want War of the Lions, Tactics Advance, and A2 in a compilation! (and fix the slowdown in WotL while you're at it)
3:33 Replace FF7 with Gen 1, Square with The Pokemon Company, and Cloud with Charizard
Edit: FINAL FANTASY 7 THE FIRST SOLIDER
You sir are as accurate as a Swift attack.
Oh, screw off, 8 was good.
How about learn that people have a right to voice their opinions down here, so long as the comment section is open. For someone so eager to tell people to not watch the video if they disagree with an opinion, you don't seem to have any tolerance for people's opinions. Besides, it's not like anyone knew beforehand he was going to mention FF8, jackass.
*****
I'm only an ass to an ass. Figure out that you're the ass, and this conversation would go much smoother, kiddo.
People have a right to be an ass about voicing their opinions all they damn well please.
When did I say it has nothing wrong with it? Oh, that's right, I didn't. So, nice strawman argument. As for the other stuff, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
I don't think any of you can handle opinions regarding FFVIII.
Woah woah woah, putting ff8 and ff13 in the same league doesn't seem right lol ff8 was great :D
Yeah i agree, i don't understand why FFVIII gets so much shit. That's my favorite game!
8 is straight up trash, the gameplay and the story are horrid. The OST is good so I guess it has that
The best part of VIII is the card game. For regular gameplay, even IX is better.
But, of course, IV and V are still the best ever.
I get why it might not be up there as the "best" Final Fantasy game but putting it as low as 13 or 2 is just wrong IMO.
People just don't play enough cards.
Someone tell ProJared that Final Fantasy XIV has included Ivalice into its lore, along with 3 raids taking place in it and Viera being a playable race in Shadowbringers.
So.....they did kinda made more Tactics, just not as a new game.
Nerd alert!
@@GeorgeZimmermen nobody asked for your negativity

Wow, ProJared actually became Spoony when he got to XIII
We remember a time... When Spoony made videos.
Yeah, depression really screws up our lives.
back when spoony was good
Not really... Spoony didn't "hate" all of the characters. He didn't seem to mind Vanille (for some reason) and liked Lightning because of their mutual hatred of Snow...
Why was I confusing Spoony for Yatzee?
cloud in kingdom hearts was really good actually.
Diogo Silva
Lol. He is just an emo in KH who "is consumed by darkness"!! Even Squall(not Leon, I'll never call him that) has gotten over that emo phase before entering the KH universe and is generally a chill dude. Cloud seriously needs to go to some therapy if he was portrayed as soo goddamn depressing.
I still like him in that game.
Diogo Silva
Well, I was one of those weirdos who never even heard of Cloud until I was 12 and have been a Squall fanboy since I was 8(actually it's Quistis, but Squall was a lot cooler in KH, he actually has some responsibility in KH2). So yeah, to each his own I guess.
Diogo Silva Just because you are stronger then him... :P
cloud doesnt even do much in kh
I think Jared has a new thing to add to the list after that terrible remaster of crystal chronicles
5 years later, still no new FF tactics game.
Square Enix: Remember when we milked the shit out of Final Fantasy VII? Let's do the same with Final Fantasy XV!!
FFXV anime, CG movie and i think there's even a mobile game.
The difference between ff7 and xv is that
The anime is really fucking good, the cg movie is really fucking good and the I haven't heard anything about the mobile game
7's shit was terrible
It's because XV was thought and conceived as that, they thought the game/story as a multimedia expansive effort.
FF7 was the story of that specific game, the only cliffhanger was Zack, but he was dead and his role on the story was already fulfilled. Yet they kept making up stuff over it, creating characters that while not bad, simply didn't fit in on the universe they created at the beginning.
shadow79
I'm pretty sure the CG movie was only good to the blind fans and not to the critics of it.
Don't forget the Regis pixelated beat 'em up game.
Milking or "Promotional material" 😉
Advent Children wasn't bad though...
It's a fan film pretty much.
And we loved it
Wasn't especially good either, on the whole. The plot was convoluted, the movie was awkwardly paced, and insight on what was going on in the characters' lives was limited and told instead of shown. Also, missed opportunity to bring the band back together in a creative way, pretty much everyone was jobbing for Cloud instead of actually working together, and the fights they did actually do together were disjointed and isolated from each other. They even outright say on the airship "Cloud's got this, we all suck now."
It's only good with the complete version it makes sense. It's not anything amazing, but it's not BAD.
Gypsy Squid Let's agree to disagree. There is only so much you can show in 2 hours honestly
Oh my gosh Jared I was dying from laughing the entire time. Your rant was so entertaining. I'll listen to more of them. Make more videos like this.
Do you feel the same way after he showed his bomb pop to everyone online?
The last few seconds of this video is what I've been saying my whole life to people about Final Fantasy. Tactics was the reason I got into storytelling, Dungeons and Dragons and currently trying to write my own story/comic / turned based tactical RPG! Thank you for preaching to the masses for me!
Final Fantasy 13 wasn't THAT bad.
*gets on Chocobo and runs away*
I actually loved the whole 13 series... I fear I'm the only one however and I completely understand why people hate it
I also like the FF13 trilogy, you're not alone.
However, I do have to agree with the main criticisms of FF13
A lot of the criticisms of the game I understand, but I don't actually see a lot of them as criticisms personally (like the game being too linear). I didn't find that it was a problem. The characters, the story, and especially the music kept me engaged.
*****
I actually love some of the characters (except for Lightning, she's so emo), the story could use some work, the music was fantastic, and I'm a bit neutral on the linearity.
The music of the game is awesome. Im glad that Im not the only one that hates Lighthing
Seeing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance: No... Don't say anything bad about my baby. Don't say anything stupid about laws and the story is great!!! ... Oh you aren't saying bad stuff about it... Good guy 👍
I love Tactics, but nothing about the FFT:Advanced versions piqued my interest. The whole magic rule system immediately turned me off, to be honest. The thing that made the original Tactics so good was the freedom to do what you wanted and this new bullshit just reminded me of the stupid card game with similar regional rules from FFVIII. Admittedly, I haven't played a single minute of any of the Tactics games beyond the original, so could be wrong. I don't think I am, though. Those mechanics are cheap and ruin the game.
this guy gets it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Terra BenLuk He does not talk about Tactics Advanced because it exists, he talks about it because he wants more out of it.
B T - You ARE wrong. It doesn't ruin the game. The Judge system is stupidly easy to get around and doesn't affect gameplay too much (unless you're brain dead and just want to spam the same team over and over without actually thinking about what you're doing... then that's on you). Truth is that they could have removed it and it wouldn't have mattered. That said, it's dumber to use it as a reason not to play the game, even if it's existence isn't needed. Also, your hate of Triple Triad is laughable. It's quite literally the best side side game in all of the FF series.
I think I might be the only person who couldn't stand Tactics... just not a fan of tactical RPGs in any form, really....
"I was hoping that VI would receive the same treatment and love that Final Fantasy IV and VII would get with good remakes. Instead, we got this."
THANK YOU! They should have released a really good version of VI instead of the really good version of VII that will come out next year. VI is the real classic.
I liked The After Years.
Both are classics, and VII did need a remake more if only because of the graphics and translation of the original game; but that does not excuse Square's inability to provide a definitive port or remaster of FFVI on modern consoles.
V and vi deserve the same quality remakes the others got on psp.
I wouldn't call VII a "good" remake, it's not faithful to the original game in any way, shape, or form. If we got a FFVI Remake where the gameplay suddenly became a hack and slash, the game was split into pieces and padded beyond belief, and Future Kefka suddenly showed up, I think I'd die inside.
@@Jordan3DS I think if the game was split into two pieces, balance and ruin, it would work really good
@@femcelfootjob Personally, I heavily disagree. Splitting a game up never works, and it just serves to disrupt the pacing of the story. Plus, FFVI is a pretty short game as it stands, and they would need to add a LOT of forced padding to both the World of Balance and the World of Ruin to make them each their own game, and that just sounds like a nightmare. I'd rather just have one perfect, complete game than two parts filled with hours of filler and poorly done new additions.
Whats so great about the ff series is that there's something for everyone in it... Everyone has different opinions about the elements of the games and how they relate to them.
I admit Tactics was one of my favorites. The strategy and story were amazing. Also, I know this is just a Final Fantasy post, but BRING BACK VAGRANT STORY!
GOOD LAWD THEY MUST
So it seems there are people who still believe in fairy tales. If you are playing Vagrant Story, then you know where I get this. :3
And vandal hearts which looks the same as ff tactics.
YES! i would love to see a HD update to vagrant story. One of my favorite PS1 games. The item customization alone put so much more playtime and replayability to that game.
Whatever4690 I played the shit out of vandal hearts 2 good game
Unpopular opinion time: I actually like what I have played of the XIII trilogy.
I don't totally like it but i still play it occasionally... it's not terrible. It's not even bad. It's just the slightest bit disappointing because it should have, by all reason, been a bit better written.
And i really liked 8. What's up with the hate for 8? Its combat works just fine and the story has hundreds of awesome moments. Especially when it gets sidetracked onto some tangent. OK, mostly only when it gets sidetracked. It's still great!
Siana Gearz See I think 13 is written well actually. Do not know to much about the other two though. The biggest issue I have is the linearity and how grind heavy it can get. The last couple of times I played it was mostly to get exp lol. VIII I actually liked too. If anything the writing or characters, mostly Squall, are probably the big kicker. Probably the romance too.
Battle system was complete shit. Literally the worst I have ever seen in an RPG. Unforgivable. The XIII line is dead to me.
it's not unpopular. Those freakin' fanboys still defend the shit outta dat game even today.
Kenshin 811 Frankly I see more hate for the game than I see anyone supporting it.
Ironically, Cloud appears in tactics too
Man it's so great to see that there' s someone who cares about Final Fantasy as much as I do. :) And I agree, please give us more Tactics!
I found your videos recently with one of your FFTactics VODs popping in my feed and I enjoyed watching it. Your name sounded somewhat familiar though, I later realized I'd noticed it on some videos before but ignored them for the meme thumbnails, as that's what I tend to do. I've now watched some of your FInal Fantasy content and I wanna say that you've done a very good job with them. I think I've found my favorite content creator. :) You're streaming times are when I sleep though, so I won't be getting there...and I do like to watch smaller bits at a time anyway.
Anywho, I enjoyed FF7remake, I hope you did as well. Let's hope it continues good! :D
> Holds up Final Fantasy XII along with all the good games
Do you like that one? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in the fanbase who does.
- Lewis
I really liked the idea of the Gambit System (heck, you could build an entire game out of that), but _everything else_ never really did it for me, sadly.
I think XII is the best in the series. And I'm right.
Whether you liked 12 or not hinged pretty heavily on whether you could navigate the gambit system. Admittedly, I found that a system that could level up for you while you go do something else is counter-intuitive. I want to play the game, not watch the game play for me.
Naturally similar issues come up with the Paradigm system in 13 which is quite similar, but not at the same extreme. It seems like a logical progression honestly, the changes made in each generation stem from the "problems" found by players in the previous. Looking ahead to 15 it seems like many elements of 12 as well as things from the Kingdom Hearts series will make a resurgence, which could be amazing.
badassoverlordzetta
I found the Gambit System quite cool if you sticked to a "Control one guy yourself and let the Gambits control the rest" strategy.
Though you are incorrect in that my dislike for 12 is the result of anything but the Gambits.
No wait, even the Gambits themselves are at fault, at least partially. I mean, why the f*ck do you buy Gambits in dedicated Gambit shops, were everyone talks about how great Gambits are? I can't really get invested in a Star Wars knockoff setting with sexy bunnygirls instead of Wookies if the game keeps breaking the 4th Wall in such a stupid way.
I loved XII.
Just to prove that anybody will defend anything...
... there are people that want XIV 1.0 back. =.=
Those people are still in denial and weird
JoeCario prolly just to see how bad it is
I assume they're the same weirdos who want Vanilla WoW, but apparently that's acceptable for some reason lol
really are you serious the og released version was almost impossible to play with out getting bored?
JoeCario They could probably work those weirdos into the lore. Maybe a cult that wishes for the return of the previous realm?
You missed one thing:
His lack of representation in smash Ultimate
This is why Megaman was a huge hype back then. 😊
This video was made 2 years before Smash ultimate came out
2 things: Leave FFVIII in peace, it's a GREAT game, and MAKE ANOTHER TACTICS +1!!!!!!!!!!
yes and yes!
I was gonna by the 8 remaster on steam, but even the positive reviews were like "Ok yeah but the remastered parts really goof up the parts they didn't remaster"
"FFVIII" I thought everyone hated 8...
Final Fantasy VIII is horrible
@@cobracmr4 So you are :p
I don't actually hate FF8, but I can understand why people would dislike it, and I'm honestly indifferent to it. It had some neat ideas, as well as amazing FMVs and a kickass soundtrack, but other than that, it was "eh" to me, and some of the gameplay ideas aren't fully realized to the point where it tires me out after just a little bit of time. I've unintentionally lost track of time with other games in the series (9, 6, 7) but 8 just dragged to me.
Hylian Dragoon FF8 was my first major FF game and I say, the game is amazing. I liked the story and Squall was a character that I actually liked.
Interesting how the people who liked 8 tend to really like 13.
David Higgins Actually I didn't like 8 much but I did like 13. 10 and 13 are more alike if anything.
oh god, scared me at first when he showed Crystal Chronicles.
Did anyone play any of the other Crystal Chronicles games? I didn't, doesn't look like many did too, some looked like crap. And I was kind of annoyed this was all Nintendo consoles got from Final Fantasy at the time aside from the odd GBA port or DS remake.
I've never played Crystal Chronicles. When it came out I was confused about it and still am. Was it multiplayer only? how many players were needed? Was it true you needed several Gameboy advances to play it (heard that multiple times but always sounds ridiculous)?
I'm actually really curious as I have a friend that comes over and plays games with me regularly so I would love to play an jrpg with them, just options for multiplayer are highly limited.
sera .phic Yes, it had four player co-op multiplayer, you can play it solo though. And yes, yes, yes, it required 2-4 GBAs for you to play multiplayer. Just like Four Swords Adventures. It was a greedy move of Nintendo to pull off that gimmick unless your friends never stopped playing their GBAs. XD
still waiting for a real sequel to the first one......
I had the same reaction when I saw part of the opening cutscene to X-2 in the opening. Surprised there wasn't a single joke about that in the entire episode. :P
projared, have you tried the new FFBE War of the Visions on mobile? That is titled as a Tactics game. Could we get a review of this?
Well at least they are acknowledging that Tactics Exists, It was the main focus of the raid series in FFXIV 4.0
Seriously I would love to see a Tactics game with a hybrid of the OG Artstylke and World of Final Fantasy's Protagonists non-chibi forms. That would look amazing.
If you guys like FF feel free to try out some Dragon Quest games too! (It needs love too.)
I tried them. I found them incredibly boring.
Bitch please.
I liked some of them.
Just not getting DQ7.
Dragon Quest 9 is a 10/10
Does Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime count?
I personally want a FFXII remake. It's so underrated and I don't know why. Granted it's very different but it's so good
Casshern FF12 was good dont get me wrong. But it wasnt what we were promised (at least me and my friends). It was supposed to be the precursor to Tactics being the golden era where airships flew the skies the zodiac brave stop Ajora combined with the gamelay of Vagrant Story. It wasnt that, slight references were made, Empires that exhisted in 12 didnt explain how they get to Tactics political/religious transition. No explanation why old espers are replaced with new ones and how the old become Lucavi. Where are the warriors of legend? How was the title of judge abolished and become a secular religion? What was the cataclysm that wiped out 50% of all races except humans? So many holes and empty promises that it bored me just to play it. And of course Vaan and Ashe... wtf? So booooring....
Brian Wong So basically, if you were a fan of Final Fantasy and followed it's story religiously, so to speak, it was a disappointment.
But for someone like me who had this as his first Final Fantasy game it's really good. I never could follow the story of Final Fantasy tbh because it's so convoluted so I pretty much just saw the gameplay, which is the greater majority of the game anyway. Story is minimal.
Casshern It's getting a remake next year.
*hd remaster
Giorno Giovanna YEA I SAW THAT!!!!! Ironically right after this video so...too soon, BUT, I am psyched man! It's a different version with classes from what I understand.
hey projared, have you tried final fantasy brave exvius: war of the visions yet?
Are you gonna do a video on final fantasy tactics? I’d love to hear your review
DId you just said 8 might be worse than 13? What were you smoking?
8 to me was a ok game but saying it's about as bad as 13 or worse is BS to me. Also sponny took back everything he said about 8 after he played 13
Story: imo 13 story was stupid it's about gods who couldn't speak to people so they give the chosen scrambled dreams to tell them what they want but the chosen are on a time limit. the chosen gets turned into monsters when time runs out or if the chosen get what the god wants on time they get turned into crystals. The main villain of FF 13 is one of those gods, and he can speak to them directly he never tells them what he wants he just let's them guess. all he had to do was say "destroy cacoon and become ragorock".
Game play: FF 13 game play is for noobs all we have to do just hit X or A and once in awhile we might have to hit L1 or LB to change into med to heal. The maps on 13 are liner except in chapter 12 or 13 which takes around 25 hours to get to. There's basically no side quest except the fetched quest that are on chapter 12 or 13 all we have to do is kill a monster and return to quest pervider.
Character's: FF 13 has 2 lesbians, (one of them has a annoying voice) token black character who let's a chocobo shit in his hair, a solider gone rouge, a kid that gets a bad day, and the most annoying character I've ever hear and seen "hero's don't need plans" MY FUCKING ASS THEY DO God who ever made this ass clown needs to go back and play FF 2. In FF 2 the heroes planed out their crap or they would've died, and a bunch of heroes did die for what they believed in.
What really is bad about VIII? FF VIII is one of the most broken FF titles (good broken mine you) of all. To the point that theirs even no need to lvl up or grind. Yes u spent your time doing something else (cough... Triple Traid) but, its time well invested specially for this game. This game took liberties that others FF titles never did. I would ask Jared to revesit this game and maybe he'll see why is good.
You leave 8 out of this!
MindstormXL yeah!
8 sucks. Squall is an emo bitch.
ProJared
+David Perry nope 8 was fun when you learn the junction system
8 was boring as fuck. The story sucked, Squall sucked, the whole thing sucked. It was put out during gaming's "I AM SOOO EDGY AND EMO" phase, which sucked and I'm glad it's over with. It has nothing to do with the junction system.
Hope you are having a good day, Jared. I enjoyed the video. FF9 will always be my favorite video game of all time and would like to see you do a video on that one :)
Guys, we all know the best Square Enix game is Mario Hoops 3 on 3
Nah, the best is Mario Sports Mix on the Wii

Bill Ly yes
Dubious Carim yeah and those people play FF
Let's just ask ourselves a nice question
Are projared game reviews nice?
Yes, they are very nice. It's nice seeing TH-cam make the push for him again
@@LordPichuPal TH-cam ain't doin' shit. We are.
I like his opinions on games etc. So i hope he makes more. Just kind of cool to listen to opinions on games!
Yes.
Man, FF8 is not a bad game at all. Actually it's my favorite.
you are not alone, i want that to have the next remake but id have a better chance at making it myself then them making it
I think VIII could be good, but the gameplay is incredibly flawed and the story is pretty weak and nonsensical. I think a remake could make it great
Jordan. I fully agree. If FF8 gets an remake treatment like 7 & improved alot of things, than we can look at it as an better version of 8.
@@jjc4924 I mean, I would hope that they wouldn't turn it into an action game, at least, or stray from the plot too much. I'd want an VIII Remake that makes subtle changes to improve the overall game, not starting over from scratch and making something new. At that point, it wouldn't even be FFVIII anymore.
Jordan. Fair. I mean, I still want to give 8 another chance. If they can fixed the tedious & broken drawing system and probably makes the story alot better, than I would love the game than I should've been. I'm still they'll remake it after FF7R is completed. Cause 8 is the one FF game that I would like to see get remake & improved the most.
I shall now reveal the ULTIMATE order in which final fantasy games should be ranked!
BEHOLD! VIIVIIXIVXVXIIIIVIIIIIIIXIII
what the... have you tried spacing between the Roman Numerals?!
Karanagi Tried decoding it, found out that 8, 12, 14 and 15 is missing.
7, 6, 9, 4, 15, 12, 1, 8, 3, 13? that's my best guess.
VII VI IX IV X V XII II VIII III I XIII
7 6 9 4 10 5 12 2 8 3 1 13
Do I win?! Please validate my existence, senpai!
so IX can never be the best
I adore FF6, it's easily my favorite
But I also love FF4 and FF8 so much!!
Relm Arrowny my favorites used to be final fantasy 8 final fantasy 7 and final fantasy 6 it used to be that but square ruined cloud by turning him emo and giving him a boner
My personal favorites are 4, 5, 6, 7 & 9.
6, 7 and 10 for me.
interesting choices, i take it you preffer story over charcter customization, my personal favorite is 5 when it comes to charcter customization, but honest to god, 6's story is such a master piece its my favorite storywise (even though charcters like gau, umaro, setzer and more are pretty much unplayable if you wanna go for efficiency, but FF6 honestly isn't that hard so you can just pick whoever you like in your party)
6 7 and 9 for me
I wonder if anything you brought up here will be brought up by another certain TH-camr. Also, since I'm not sure if you've seen it since everyone was bullying you, the FFVII Remake actually looks like it'll be good.
I need a new tactics game! Right there with you jared!
I'm glad you said CC was pretty good. I liked it too. I could do without all the other bullshit though.
Also glad about FF4:TAY point. The game is basically the same as 4.
I played it as a kid and loved it, but I still want to know whos stupid idea it was to force people to use GBAs for multiplayer.
Whichever one was on the wii and DS sucked, but only on the wii. It was pretty damn good on the DS.
Uhh, are you guys replying to the right comment? xd
***** Well there was a coupld games that played in the style of CC. I can't remember them anymore. I remember one that the same game was released on both the wii and DS, but the wii version was god awful
You know how you're begging SquareEnix to make another Final Fantasy Tactics game? That's how your loyal ProJared Plays viewers feel towards you finishing your Tactics let's play all the way through.
Hey Jared quick question what's your opinions on FFX and X-2
7:31 you made me laugh so hard😂😂😂
Cloud in Smash isn't really exploiting ff7, if anything it's the best thing to come from 7's popularity.
Plus Sakurai put him in, not square.
.....SE had to give the rights to do so. So yes SE is just as much to blame.
Sakurai needed SquarEnix permission so it is there fault. It was also the main reason why Bayo was pick instead since her decision came from a public poll that would determine the last character. Due to not being able to get permission for the 1st place winner, they decided to put in Bayo who was the next closest.
He was a fan favorite for inclusion, if anything the fans are the reason he is there. And honestly there is nothing wrong with that, the character works great in smash and so does characters like Bayonetta.
I kinda feel like people just dislike something for the sake of it.
Yes a lot of the FF7 extras are bad, but there are really good games in there like Crisis Core and the Kingdom Hearts series (( well more a final fantasy mix with disney overall, but still )).
What is positive though which no one seems to think about, SE is at least TRYING new things with their franchises and games, that is why we have stuff like Tactics and the KH series, not to mention the upcoming FF15 which both looks and plays quite well from what I have tried and seen. Not to mention they seem to have put a lot of effort into the story and characters.
Newbtuber *their. Jesus Christ don't try to make an argument with crappy grammar
How is it their fault though? Sakurai came to them and asked them for permission.
4:34 THANK YOU! it all started in FF8 where, simplisticly thinking that Cloud's popularity was due to his angs, made Squall a stereotypical Emo/Goth whinny little bitch. In Kingdom Hearts it was actually gonna be Vincent, which would had been fitting for the personality, and then went on from there.
...please be good remake.
I know this is late in the game, but I love your reviews. Thanks a lot for your introspective on games and shows.
Now I really want to see Jared make a video about Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: War of the Visions.
10:14 I wonder whats wrong with Final Fantasy 8. I thought it was kind of interesting.
1:15 Oh so THAT'S why I thought Mystic Quest was from the Secret Mana series!... How the hell did I know that?
So Jared,
Thoughts on Triangle Strategy?
I think if FF7 had never existed FF8 would be considered one of the best entries, unfortunately coming right after FF7 it was doomed to always be compared unfavorable to FF7, plus the fact that FF7 was the first Final Fantasy game that many people played and who were expecting a direct sequel and were angry that that Cloud and crew were nowhere in sight.
