![7 Forgotten Final Fantasy Enemies (That Have Disappeared Into Obscurity) [REDUX]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/01ICBS4S_0I/mqdefault.jpg)
I think Flan deserve a mention as they encourage the player to use magic more when they are at a point in the game where just spamming the attack command usually works.
but they die so fast.
I agree. They not only force the player to use magic, but often times look for the particular magical elemental weakness too.
@@saladinboss2507 but they Are simply to weak
@@DjDoomtrainYou sound a little weak.
@@Armstrong84 since im writeing, u must be hearing voices :) good for you
Out of all Tonberries, the one that caught me offguard most are the ones in FFXV. I knew it was lethal, but I didn't expect it to randomly have a lightsaber and jump all over the place like Yoda.
Omg! Yes! I went wtf when that happened. Then you spend half of the encounter.. trying to get a hit in!
😂😂😂 Yeah, I liked that one. I'd rather it just be upfront and honest with me about its intentions than slow and menacing.
Modern Idolatry
So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
-Colossians 3:5
People get excited about a lot of things. They may not call them their gods, but in effect they are. What is the focus of your life? That, for all practical purposes, is your god.
And when you come up with your own version of God, then you essentially have another god before Him.
The apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Colosse, “So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming”
(Colossians 3:5-6)
Interestingly, Paul talked about sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. We have a sex-obsessed culture. And for some people, everything is a double entendre. Their minds are always in the gutter.
Paul also warned about greed. Some people always want what others have. We might think that only those who are wealthy have a problem with idolatry. Maybe they do. And maybe they don’t. We can’t see their hearts.
But we can have very little in terms of material possessions and still make an idol out of things. We don’t have to be wealthy. Sometimes we’re simply obsessed with money.
The Bible says, “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows”
(1 Timothy 6:10)
Notice this doesn’t say that money is the root of all kinds evil. Rather, it says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The problem is always wanting what others have. We can make idols out of possessions. And they can become more important to us than God Himself.
The Bible says, “You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him” (Matthew 4:10).
He will never disappoint you. He will never let you down. But every person will in some way.
Sometimes people keep us from God. A relationship pulls us away from Him, and we realize that if we really follow the Lord, we could lose our relationship that individual. Yes, we could. And it might be a choice that some of us have to make.
Is someone dragging you down spiritually? Jesus said, “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine”
(Matthew 10:37)
The gods we create in our minds really are not gods at all. They’re just false images that can’t do anything for us. Will those gods save you in that final day? Will those gods give you the strength you need in your moment of crisis? And will those gods forgive you of your sins?
If not, they’re false gods. Turn to the true and living God.
@@faith9505 you ok there chief?
@@brendandoherty256 what a loaded question
Malboros and Behemoths are a given, but I always feared the fights against the Iron Giants. They were brutal in II, and terrifying in the early game of XV. One of the most iconic to me.
Yeah Iron Giants should be an honorable mention.
But in FF8 they are a total joke to kill same in FF5 in the DS/PSP version its a extra boss but I could NEVER actually unlock the dungeon and on the DS version of FF3 its NO LONG possible to do the requirements to FIGHT it on that version.
Tonberries are IMHO classic enemies FF5 onwards but are a pain to kill STARTING with their FF7 and 8 versions.
@@veghesther3204 I get what you mean. Tonberries were a pain in the ass to kill in VI as well for me.
@@veghesther3204
Steam and smartphones have the 3D version. There you can fight them, I do not recommend that though.
It is boring.
That too that's why on the PS1/SNES version I vanish and doomed them and the 3x ones CAN show up on the Veldt despite that Gau can't actually RAGE them.
I'd say the Tonberry is my pick. First time I ever saw it, I seen the enemy name, "Pug" with that little knife and almost dismissed it. I died 😢
Ha….very true. First time I was wary. Why is this slow little turtle dude in a high level area.
Then I died…..lots
first time i saw one was FFVIII. i saw tiny enemy with a little knife and lantern and thought "oh this should be easy." I kept hitting it and it got closer. finally got to one character and performed ONE attack on a full health character. killed them. and that's when i started sweating..
I was legit afraid of tonberries when I was a kid lol. The last thing I wanted was for it to close that gap!
I knew it was up to something when I first saw it in FF7, I just didn't know what. So, I wanted to take my time with finding out its M.O., as I always do with bosses and odd monsters.
It did not share that courtesy with me 😂.

I also would include the Adamantoise just because it's size always changes drastically between each game. Another honorable mention would be the Couerl. It's in a lot of games and honestly super annoying
Blaster suuuuucks!
The FFXV couerl were AWFUL. The ones in the semi-online game Comrades were also very awful. I remember me and one guy were the only ones still running a mission (someone had gone offline halfway through and I think the low player count meant that the fourth person of the party was an NPC...and were rather useless). He and I got to the end of the mission with the final part being these two couerls. We managed to kill one, but sadly, despite us getting in a pretty good rhythm with healing and reviving each other, the damn beasts bested us. I never did beat that mission because I never had people strong enough to run it with.

I would've added that a Behemoth was added to Monster Hunter World as part of a collaboration with Capcom. and the Hunt structured in such a way to try and replicate a Raid Like Experience for MH players.
Don't forget the Cactuar endemic life in the Wildspire Wastes, little dude comes in clutch

Yeah, Extreme Behemoth is still considered one of the hardest bosses in the series, Iceborne Fatalis included.
-sincerely, a Hunter
Especially considering they used the version of that game as the thumbnail. You can see it holding Dodogma.
The iron giant was also pretty iconic to me

Marlboro definitely gives me the greatest anxiety of any FF monster, only somewhat because I never know how they’re going to spell his name haha. But Behemoth always makes me the most excited and happy of any monster. Deadeye is probably (sadly) my favorite part of XV. Also Cactuar is 100% the reason I now love succulents so much.

You can probably make a second list with the likes of Flans, Adamantoise, Iron Giants, Couerls, Red Dragons, etc. Maybe Chimera too.
One of the first monsters I think of when I think of Final Fantasy are Behemoths. There's nothing ground breaking about a big monster with a lot of health that does a lot of damage, but Behemoths just feel like the absolute pinnacle of this type of monster design. They can really feel overwhelming depending on the game and the point in the game that you face them, and their visual design (despite having changed several times) never fails to feel intimidating and powerful. They really feel like forces of nature that must be respected even in these worlds of supernaturally powerful warriors.

I don't think I've ever heard Behemoth pronounced the way to do until this year. I've always said it like I've heard it way before I've ever played a Final Fantasy game.
Well it’s not pronounced the way he’s saying it lol. Behemoth is a word that has an actual pronunciation and has been used long before Final Fantasy. It’s Bee-Hee-Muth.
I loved how the Master Tonberry in FFXV was basically Master Yoda going all Jedi on your ass.
The master tonberry in FF7 will do everyone’s grudge on the second character that attacks it, only if you attack it twice before it moves. If you attack once, wait til it moves, then attack again, it will not do everyone’s grudge
Thank you for the advise

Notice this doesn’t say that money is the root of all kinds evil. Rather, it says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The problem is always wanting what others have. We can make idols out of possessions. And they can become more important to us than God Himself.
The Bible says, “You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him” (Matthew 4:10).
He will never disappoint you. He will never let you down. But every person will in some way.
Sometimes people keep us from God. A relationship pulls us away from Him, and we realize that if we really follow the Lord, we could lose our relationship that individual. Yes, we could. And it might be a choice that some of us have to make.
Is someone dragging you down spiritually? Jesus said, “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine”
(Matthew 10:37)
The gods we create in our minds really are not gods at all. They’re just false images that can’t do anything for us. Will those gods save you in that final day? Will those gods give you the strength you need in your moment of crisis? And will those gods forgive you of your sins?
If not, they’re false gods. Turn to the true and living God.
Having played through most of the mainline FFs over the past few years, one monster that I have recently learned to fear/respect that didn't initially mean much to me is the Coeurl. Its blaster attack is an often devastating attack if you aren't prepared for it.
Many of us learned that lesson when we first encountered it and saw the game over screen.😂
That instant kill

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
-Colossians 3:5
People get excited about a lot of things. They may not call them their gods, but in effect they are. What is the focus of your life? That, for all practical purposes, is your god.
And when you come up with your own version of God, then you essentially have another god before Him.
The apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Colosse, “So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming”
(Colossians 3:5-6)
Interestingly, Paul talked about sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. We have a sex-obsessed culture. And for some people, everything is a double entendre. Their minds are always in the gutter.
Paul also warned about greed. Some people always want what others have. We might think that only those who are wealthy have a problem with idolatry. Maybe they do. And maybe they don’t. We can’t see their hearts.
But we can have very little in terms of material possessions and still make an idol out of things. We don’t have to be wealthy. Sometimes we’re simply obsessed with money.

Marlboro is the most iconic to me ❤
I would personally give the Zuu at least an honorary mention. They may not appear in every title, but they've remained pretty consistent in their design of freaking huge black bird. They made quite an impression on me in IV and X due to their sheer numbers.
the boss version in Mystic Quest made an impression on me

Tonberry and Cactuar....I could have nightmares about those encounters. Especially the way the Tonberry just inches closer without doing ANYTHING until it hits you lol
Behemoth has been a "Super Boss" a few times in FFXIV. During ARR it was one of the original "World Boss" FATEs alongside Odin. It required a large number of max level characters of the time to defeat and still had a good chance of killing everyone at the end with Meteor. HW also had the Similarly powerful S-rank hunt Kaiser Behemoth.
Coeurls and iron giant could've gotten an honorable mention, they were always quite strong and have had multiple appearances and iterations over the franchise.
I still remember wandering around the central shroud on my first day in ff14, and nearly getting a heart attack when i saw the giant morbols near the haukke manor. They looked genuinely terrifying! 😭

Heliostroppers if I recall correct now imagine being in a fight with Odin and accidently aggroing those into the Odin fate and cleaving with bad breath lol I have seen that happen back in stormblood good times lol
I love how just the silhouette of a Cactuar has become a Final Fantasy symbol... but the Tonberry is my absolute favorite, that is peak FF encounter if you ask me
Malboro was the first creature that I thought of before I started watching the video. After seeing Cactuar, I thought of Tonberry. My first encounter with Tonberry was known as Pug in FF6 which was FF3 on the SNES. Like many people, I underestimated the creature until it attacked. Then I always dreaded running into one after that.
The Coeurl also deserve their mention, they are present in many games and are usually strong and source to valuable loot. Also they're design is pretty neat.
I remember trying 13-2 and seeing Goblins with donut shaped bodies, ball hands, and wheel feet was when I knew the art was going to far...And the monsters in that game are one of the only things I hope future games will take
I want to see more antagonists like Caius.
Also, adding monsters to the team.

1st FF game I ever played was FFX. I don't remember when I 1st fought a Malboro, but I do remember the anger I felt when I was hit with Bad Breath and not be able to do anything as I watched my party slowly die off.
I love that this video's thumbnail is Behemoth's entrance in Monster Hunter World, a monster so great that it's one of the best in two of my favorite franchises
Surprising that you didn't mention that Behemoth is so iconic in Final Fantasy it was used in a crossover promotion with Monster Hunter, further proving its placement on this list is valid.
this was also in MHW where like my MAJOR gripe is still that it had too many dragon type large enemies and not enough of the giant insects , birds and important to Behemoth "beasts". really makes the fight stand out even more...even if it is technically classed as an Elder Dragon

Amano's Behemoth artwork goes so hard.
Say what you want about FFII - I certainly have at times - but the monster designs it introduced really gave Final Fantasy its own identity. One that's kinda hard to pin down, but you definitely feel it each time you get a random encounter in subsequent titles.
It sounds like we owe FF2 a great deal considering how many franchise staples originated there
Respect for TPR! I love his melancholy work.
Need some love for our favourite damage sponge, Adamantoise! Not sure how many games it's been in but i know it's a fair few, 13 and 15 spring to mind as the most memorable for me.
Great list though, think we've all collectively had our asses handed to us by a tonberry at least once...
Every iteration of Bahamut has my love
Thank you for another great video!
Great video as always!!
The Behemoth pronunciation always makes me think of Reservoir Dogs and the radio dj
One detail I like about Malboro in other FF games is that in Crystal Chronicles, if you leave your little crystal chalice on the ground during the boss fight against him it's possible that Malboro can suck it up thanks to the move Inhale, your only protection against the toxic air that is all over the world. In FFX-2 and FF12, the Malboro have had interesting ways of how it moves about. In FF12 when you see them in the forest, before they can even attack they have to turn itself into battle position before dare trying to strike and it's very speed or trying to catch up to the player can be terrifying especially when there's hordes of them in every area of the room. In FFX-2, as soon as you begin Chapter/Episode 3 if you go back to Bevelle and watch a cutscene that for whatever reason is optional and not story required, once the cutscene nearly finishes you witness a Random Malboro sneak up from behind and move at a very alarming speed. How a Malboro's moves in terms of pacing is something that changes per game based on the suspension of disbelief and it's only thanks to later games we can see them move around.
you never ignore FF11! 💛god I miss that game
Iron Giants also deserve a spot here, when I think about FF monsters Iron Giants, Behemoths, Dragons and Weapons always come to mind. I'm not sure if Coeurls should be in the list but i think they derserve at least an honorable mention.
Amazing video. Thank you
The fight against the Malboro in FFXV was great in my opinion - that enemy was already notorious and seeing the party struggle to fight it was stressful, but then newly-blind Ignis coming in with the clutch truly felt like a hugely triumphant moment. I don't think it would have worked as well with a lesser known enemy.
Behemoth is so iconic i attempted to hunt one in the new world as a member of the 5h fleet. One of three monsters in Monster Hunter World i never killed.
What about those top heavy motherchunkers with swords? Iron Giants or something? They appear in the last decent of northern crater and there’s a red boss version in ultamecia’s castle
FF8 behemoth at Tears Point having Counter - Meteor was insane.
Want to mention about Behemot
Its iconic stat was such it was selected for the MH collab
Sheessshhh facing 6 malboro at once is crazy
My honourable mention would go to the Catoblepas which appears in most of the mainline games. In a lot of cases this is even tougher a fight than the behemoth.
Behemoths are always scary to me. Yeah, Marlboros are tough and annoying at times, but shit gets real when behemoths show up in every FF title they appear in. Love all these iconic creatures though!
Everybody gangsta until a Tonberry or a Malboro shows up.
When playing FF13 for the first time, facing off with a Behemoth right out the gate filled me with excitement and saw the game as coming out of the gate swinging.
Crystal chronicles Marlboro too, it’s was the first game where I saw him and I thought It was such a cool monster design
Thanks for giving me Extremoth flashbacks from the thumbnail alone. -_-
If I could play a D&D Warlock with any patron from any world, I would pick Tonberry King.
Behemoth for me, has always been an important monster. It's a Signifier that you're nearing, or already in, the end game. Similar to the iron giant enemy. They only really appear when the game thinks you've played enough to be challenged. But out of all the behemoths appearances. None have been more devastating, more soul crushing, more awe inspiring, than when it was in Monster Hunter World. I played the game consistently until the behemoth was added. I was so excited. Awesome armor and a badass kinsect glaive were attainable. But not for me. I played for roughly a week when it came out only to NEVER beat the thing. Apparently no one was beating it during that time. I wasn't a very skilled hunter on my own, and most people I seemed to get paired with never understood the meteor mechanic so wipes were frequent and fast. Gives me chills thinking about it.
11:02 "eye catching design" for the Ahriman . . ."Eye" catching...haha, I get it.
Just started watching the video, but the topic made there pop to mind right away. Marlboros, Tonberrys, and Behemoths. And to a lesser extent flans.
I think that in all honesty in FF7R the behemoth was basically the second hardest if not thee hardest fight in the game, alongside the ifrit/bahamut fight.
The first time you looked down on the seemingly innocent almost cute Tonberry is the first time you got your ass handed to you😂😂
The way you pronounce Behemoth was how I pronounced it as a kid, as I grew and I realised the name is spelt the same as the word behemoth I now pronounce it the other way
Marlboros are the reason I always have one party members build focused on status effect immunity. They caused my third game over in FFVII - lesson learned, never again.
Saw the title and managed to guess 4 of them immediately, in this case the final 4. I didn't consider goblins as one so I was surprised to see them mentioned but they make sense.
Marlboro, courel, behemoth, cactuar, tonberry, flan, and floating eye type enemies are the must have in ff games for me... Though chocobos and/ or moogles if you wanna count them as random enemies
iirc you fight only against Chocobos and only in one game (FF XII) as regular enemies, that's it. Yes, you can encounter (and perhaps kill) one in FF VII, but I don't count that.
@@Borgdrohne13Spin-off wise, there's also FFTactics and FFTA2.
@@Borgdrohne13Not quite right.
XIII/XIII-2 also has Chocobo enemies.
XII also has a very rare Red Choc lv 99, and a hunt known as Trickstar.
And in VII you can't kill them. One hit on them and they flee. Havnt tried Odin though.
@@Vayne_Solidor I was certain, if you do enough damage, you could outright kill the birb.
Bombs as well
Never fails to put a smile on my face every time ff12 is mentioned...
For the behemoth section, there technically was a boss for the behemoth king design called humbaba in x-2 and the unlock able catoblepas in Xs monster arena.
Cockatrice, Zombie, and Chocabo come to mind
Tonberry took out my team on time I never expected it
Another great subject as usual from the best Final Fantasy channel
First time I saw the behemoth in 13 transform to stand on its hindlegs and hold a circular saw, I wanted to nope right out of the fight 😂. I knew what behemoths were...I wanted NOTHING to do with these ones! I sort of got used to them, but preferred to go around them whenever possible. Or only fight them if one had just got done killing another one, so I had less to deal with.
8:18 what version of FFVI(?) is this? I haven’t seen battle UI like that before.
U can def make another video, ochu, zuu, sahagins, iron giants, coeurls, flan, admantoise, demon wall maybe??
Don’t forget hornets and bees that use the move final sting. I know they are viewed as a common enemy and the ability is probably more notorious than the actual monster, but there have been plenty of times where I was mindlessly farming and had my whole party wiped by that move. Shout out to FF16 for naming one of the taverns Final Sting.
Ahriman's are so cool, I'm actually quite fond of one eyed monsters myself
That FF9 theme is so beautiful 😍 right into the sub theme from FF7 😊
I think the Iron Giant is another pretty iconic monster that's kinda intimidating at first.
You had me worried for a second. I thought you were gonna forget about my main man the Tonberry.
A nice look at Ff iconic monster history
Chocobo is the most iconic monster, with Red Chocobos directly referencing the Red Comet himself, Char Aznable from Gundam, the icon equivalent of Darth Vader in Japan.
Marlboro makes me screech every time I see one, I haaaaate Bad Breath so much. Freaking Aurum Vale, GRRRRR!
But Tonberries, omg, they were my absolute nightmare in FF7, after a while I'd just run the heck away, I just didn't want ANY of that. When I hit the dungeon in FF14 where Tonberries are the major monsters and stars of the show, I was literally shivering throughout my first run, and screamed at least a dozen times, startled by the big tonberry that you can't kill in there. My brother was highly amused, rotten thing! Haha!
Cactuars are so weird, but I'd got cocky about those because in FF7 I farmed them a lot while leveling materia... and then I got thumped by some bigger ones in a dungeon and I wasn't laughing anymore, you can bet! I'd never seen Ahriman before FF14, I don't think? And bombs are just "wtf!" haha - but..I think I STILL have never fought a Behemoth! I recall finding a location in FF14 where one supposedly spawns, a FATE or something, but I've never even seen one in the game. Only the wee baby minion version!
I know Cactuars are described as being in a running man pose, but I would like to know is if their shape also meant to represent the svastika? In the religious sense, I mean.
I know that in some Asiatic religions and regions it is a symbol of good luck.
So is that the reason why if you are able to beat them you're rewarded with excessive amounts of exp and/or money? Even in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Cactuars are the endemic life that reward you with the most Research points if you catch them. Especially the rare flowering variant.
Did that Tonberry from Final Fantasy 15 turn into Yoda?
another thing about the tonberry I love and hate at the same time was the ability to stun the player with random item. the pan or the pot or kettle so that the tonberry will get close to stab you.
The only notable thing I would’ve added is the Courel. Blaster used to ruin runs for me if I wasn’t prepared in several games.
The flans are definitely iconic.
Would appreciate an honorable mention to Coeurls.
So that's how the goblins work.. they owned me so many times out of the blue.
Red dragon, iron giant, basilisk, adamantoise,etc.
I really enjoyed this list though i feel it was left a little short. Iron Giant, Flan, Red Dragon and Adamantoise should have made the list i believe.
Good stuff.
7. behemoth
me: **monster hunter world PTSD intensifies**
Malboros are trauma in video game form. I think the memory of going into the omega ruins in FFX for the first time and running into a greater malboro will stick with me for the rest of my life.
100% more afraid of tonberry and cactuar over all the monsters in this list. Behemoths I can take down any time of the day… but those two… nightmare inducing.
I was maybe 7, I recall goofing around on my Dad's save file on FFVII.
I was of the illusion that Cloud was indestructible at this point until a Master Tonberry used "Everyone's Grudge" on him and forced a terror shriek and frantically fumbling for a Phoenix Down.
The damage depends on enemies killed. But....its weak to Stop. Then I use Cloud with the 4 hit materia and its dead in 2 turns without doing anything
You guys should have shown some Behemoth footage from Monster Hunter World!!! That fight was so amazing!!!
Without watching the video, I would say the seven most notorious regular foes are: behemoths, adamantoise, tonberries, cactuar, marlboro, mindflayers, and iron giants.
I remember the first time I came across a tonberry in FF7….. it didn’t end well for me !
I have never heard Bay-hey-moth. But yeah I've played FF since FFII (FFIV SNES) and i never teally payed attention to Behemoth until FFXI. Because oh a random spawn that had me using flee
Behemoth is always my first thought when I think of Final Fantasy monsters so memorable out of the games FFX probably my fav.
Although the most Iconic version is probably the one from Monster Hunter World.
God what an amazing job they did porting that guy into MH.
Ran in malboro in FF7 rebirth. And immediately panicked. PTSD T its finest
I never understood the confusion with the pronunciation of Behemoth. We don't say "The construction of the Titanic was a Bay-hemoth undertaking".
