I can’t possibly sum my thoughts up in a single comment. Cinema. Pure cinema. The only reason I wouldn’t direct somebody to do it immediately is so they can experience the game for themselves.
I know this series was kinda supposed to be what led up to FF7, but for me, I had been waiting the whole time for THIS video- the peak before the bonafide, objective mainstream success story. This video is the peak of that peak.
The original FF6 music for the SNES is a straight shot through my heart and my brain. No symphonic cover quite hits like it does. That opening cinematic goes absolutely fucking bonkers.
Feisty shitbag (affectionate) is how I would describe Relm too, and she's probably my favorite child character in all of Final Fantasy. Also, Relm: Red bandana in sprite, Blue in artwork, PINK WITH RED HIGHLIGHTS IN THE DISSIDIA MOBILE GAME. To me this is the peak of Squaresoft, and not 7. 7 is good, but Kitase obviously had a massive problem with ensemble casts. Half of that cast didn't really... do much outside of Midgar, 7's songs might be great compositions, but Uematsu wasn't fully utilizing the fact they were on a CD, etc. Plus, considering what happens with Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga at Square... her working on this game (and also making a Figaro bros. doujin) is just that much more significant. EDIT: I just got to the Doma part. So, other stuff that Jay will not mention because he will, for good reason of not having the time, not touch FF14, Doma and Cyan are a big part of the Stormblood expansion, as one of the Othard nations is named Doma with its leader in exile being named Hien. Hien's name isn't really a callback, but his childhood name, Shun, is Owain's name in Japanese. To further hammer the point, Hien's now deceased father is named Kaien (say it out loud and you understand immediately) and just to make sure you don't miss the point, his theme (and Doma's as a whole) is a Soken remix of Cyan's Theme.
I like 7 plenty, but I have a bunch of misgivings about that game im excited to fire off. its one of the most important games in history, but its not cracking the top spot for best FF
due to the joy that is the English alphabet I read this first as Artificial Intelligence Fantasy 6 and was thinking "boy, dont give Squeenix any ideas now"

This video is the peak of that peak.
The big reveal at the end got a massive pop from me
57:22 this whole video felt very Tim Rogers, and I'm absolutely here for it.

Another banger. Thank you Jay!
When i saw the pendulum swing, I stood up and clapped
