After seeing this, I bought the Final Fantasy game for iPad a couple of days ago. I'd never played any of the remakes, so I played it the same way I did the NES version, and everything was fine until I unlocked the Earth bonus dungeon. A couple of hours later (got lost in the forest part) I got to the 2 headed dragon. Lv. 24 and he made me look like I did NO level grinding whatsoever. Gonna have to rethink my whole fighting strategy to take this guy down. Thanks for introducing me to this remake 😊
@@PokeJoshNY Eh, sort of. The Earthgift Shrine can be done about the point where you get the airship, and the Hellfire Cavern when you class upgrade. The other two are definitely endgame though, especially the Lifespring Grotto which has both Shinryu and Omega Weapon as the final bosses.
Bikke's pirates wouldn't be such a big deal if the towns didn't all have ports... that existed solely to let the ONLY ship in the world, which happens to be pirate-controlled, dock safely.
Basically one of my first ever RPG. I was 3 (I am 30 now...as of 2017) when I played this game. I had no idea what I was doing but I had fun! Yet older and played this game again. I enjoyed how simple and yet complex it was. It was most enjoyable beyond any other Final Fantasy game I've ever played.
@@salvest3rr "i had no idea what i was doing but i had fun!" what's hard to believe about a 3 year old having fun playing a game that's 90% going over their head? 3 year olds are easily amused, dude. :P
1:51:00 The reason why it was a big concern is because it is the one and only monster that the creator of D&D (E. Gary Gygax) made whole cloth. Everything else had obvious inspirations, but the beholder had no such root. As such TSR was very litigious about the usage of its appearance without license. WotC (They bought TSR in 1999) still is to a degree, as well.
I remember taking a picture of Warmech and sending it in to Nintendo Power when I was a kid. He then proceeded to completely wreck my party...and I didn't get anything for the picture as it was a drawing, not a guaranteed prize... edit: I also remember stumbling upon the power on Kyzoku trick as a kid (didn't know anything about coding or anything so never thought to do RNG mapping) and using it to grind early gold.
I tried so hard to complete this port at Level 14 with just the items available in the original. Every single boss was doable at the levels I was at- except for Chaos. That HP boost was what forced me to use Giant Tonics- I could deal about 8000 damage before Cure 4 hit without em, MP tanked shortly after, which killed me without items that didn't exist in the original. Still killed the game at Level 14, just hated relaxing the rules of my challenge for just the last boss.
Tiamat being female has to do with the fact she is the "Queen of Dragons" or "Mother of Dragons," as she is also known in D&D. Also, no Warmech, Agama grind, or Out of Bounds Bat, so run invalidated. :3
Watching runs like these make me interested to get into speedruns, but then I remember how my luck 'behaves' when I am either running a D&D game (monsters barely make save DCs, and about a 30% hit rate for strong monsters, low CR monsters don't seem to be able to miss) compared to me playing a game (can't hit the ground to save my life, saves might as well be impossible, but I barely roll lower than 17 (on a 20-sided dice) on skills that could expand the story. Speedruns are just to terrifying as they can also rely on luck...
back in the days of the NES most games were not very forgiving with save points and game difficulty, partially due to the storage capacity of cartidge games. Let's thank Nintendo for creating the save feature to begin with. I like to think this is partially why one of the graves in Elfheim says "Here lies Link."
So they murder a dude, rip out his eye, give it to a random hermit woman, then bring an elf a cup of coffee so they can borrow his keys? ... Seems legit.
It's fashionable and/or easy to throw shade on Nasir and how broken the original game was. That's mistaken. When you literally have a one-person dev team, doing fairly complex computational logic, all in assembly language for a CPU without a multiply opcode, it's pretty amazing to put together a game fun enough to become a classic. I suspect that there were a lot of noop subroutines written, either initially to get a playable copy, or later on, to get everything to fit into program ROM. Deadlines+basic tools=compromises.
Hey, Thief is... Uh.... Ok I don't actually have anything, I just really like the class. Thief has been and will always be my favorite class to use in any rpg game.
Thief is still not GOOD in the remakes, exactly. However, they are at least functional, which is more than can be said for the original. In the original, none of their unique attributes (Luck, accuracy) actually functioned. In the remakes, Thief is actually halfway decent for low-level runs simply because he has a higher chance of escaping encounters and can do multiple hits relatively easily. So yeah. Still a bit outclassed, but has some situational uses which make him debatably okay for certain runs.
How do you know Tiamat's a girl? I kid you not, it's in the music. In every remake of FFI, they added a boss theme, 2 fiend themes, and a final boss theme. One fiend theme is used for the males (Lich and Kraken), and the other is used for the females (Marailith and Tiamat).
To me, the absolute definitive version of Final Fantasy 1 is the Playstation version. It corrected the vast majority of programming errors, had OPTIONAL quality of life tweaks, and yet stayed extremely true to the original gameplay design. The problem I have with the GBA/PSP/3DS version is that the changes they made really trivialized the difficulty, even with the enemy buffs, and made magic users absolutely ridiculously OP. Why ration your high level spells when it's all one magic pool? I really, really dislike the Dawn of Souls+ remakes. Except when I'm watching speedruns of them.
Well magic is kinda shit in this. You are wrong about it. Melle is much stronger and better. I played nes version and psp version and nes version is not harder by any means. Both games can be grinded and you just end up op and is easy. Ps1 version is great i agree with you on that for og expirence
couch did a good job with the announcer. announcer, This was 2016, and I hope you could go back and laugh at yourself a bit, as you were a bit disruptive at times, and the Tiamat comment was pretty bad.
Interesting uses 2 red mages that's really smart I'd replace one with black mage tho so the story flows better but having 2 allows you to heal multiple times in the party. Pretty Geinus
I'm looking do a speed run on this and was wondering what system you are playing on in this because I looks like an snes controller in your hand but can't tell
You'd figure for as hard as Warmech is, it should have dropped something badass for the party like Adamant Armor or a shield or something. Straight XP for it feels a little anticlimactic.
I am using First Slot : Black Mage Second Slot : Thief Third Slot : Black Mage Fourth Slot : White Mage What are your opinions? Has anyone else operated this way? I find a lot of fights with (2-4) Horses and 1 Ogre and X3 Worms. I think this route may give harder encounters in the wild, but I am not 100% certain. It's just what I've encountered. Maybe try it yourself. Tell me what you think. Especially when you get Black Mage 1 :Slow, Temper, Blizzard Black Mage 2 : Dark, Temper, Blizzard
or a fighter, a monk, a white mage and a black mage for casual playthroughs. You can leave the FINAL BOSS with less than 35% with a monk! 20,000 HP downed by 13100 at least. I couldn't breath when I saw that I was laughing so hard. 5 tempers, and 5 giants gauntlet uses and I KO'd him in 2 shots. I was going for 1 shot, but I didn't want to waste that much time.
Dear Gyre, Went to Star Wars Land to blow some shit up, and then take a nice oil bath afterwards with my buddy C3PO. It's going to feel so good! Your Humble Adversary, ~WARMECH~
Errr...timer starts as soon as you have control. They need to add like another minute for the time he spent naming the charachters. Also 1:07:07 he's wrong. In the NES version, if you use a walk through walls hack, you CAN get the rod without having the ruby. He's either misinformed or lying. 1:14:00 is also wrong. The nes version ALWAYS put the status afflicted members in the last row. I don't know if this guy just never played the NES version, or if he's just bullshitting his way through commentary. He really looks uneducated in this video tbh. 1:18:00 They are called Wiz in NES game, not mage. And also the second form of the Wiz is first encountered in Ice cave, not ordeals. LIke seriously, how are these idiots getting so many things wrong about a game they apparently know so much about? 1:22:40 nope wrong again. The earth shrine has 4 bosses. Also the optional dungeons have 10, 20, 30 and 40 floors respectively. Seriously, do these idiots know ANYTHING about this game? Have they even played it before this? It seriously destroys your credibility when you don't know what you're talking about and just make shit up. Seriously, why do commentary if everything you say is wrong? Totally ruined the video for me, had to stop watching. Seriously, if you're going to run events like this, please make sure your runners know about the game they are playing.
4 things wrong at 1:22:40 is only a wrong thing every 20 minutes, for the amount of talking they seem to be doing that seems like they got a decent percentage correct. I'm only 17 mins in, and then I realize I'm trying to play this game, so I should avoid spoilers. Maybe they had less mistakes in their earlier NES speed run?
Different games have different rules for counting time. For Final Fantasy, time starts after inputting names. Not to mention how silly it would have been to quibble over a few added seconds of time resulting from a donation incentive in a marathon run. The ordering of party members sounds like a glitch, which maybe happens infrequently. It's absurd to insinuate that the runner hasn't played the NES version because he's encountered a bug that you haven't. Gyre calls the Piscodemons "Wizards" several times and commonly uses the NES names for items and characters throughout the run. He is obviously familiar with the NES version. And if you had continued watching, you would have known that it is possible to visit the Castle of Ordeals before the Ice Cave. You are wrong about the number of levels in the Shrines. They have 5, 10, 20, and 40. You could have easily looked that up. Besides, Gyre's area of expertise is in speedrunning the game and those dungeons aren't in the route. I'm surprised that didn't occur to you. The next time you decide to call someone an idiot for getting minor details wrong about a game, you should spend the extra few seconds to double check that your "corrections" are even accurate.
BOO! This game doesn't belong here. It's such a gross bastardization of the original, and completely too easy. Since the DoS build of the game is so easy, this should have been a solo character run.
There's plenty of those around. FF board on GameFAQs will tell you. Solo Red Mage/Wiz, Fighter/Knight, Black Belt/Master and Ninja are all fairly doable runs. Like I said, the DoS version of the game is entirely too easy, especially with the added stuff. I even soloed a Thief on the original, it wasn't easy. I was one of the first two to do it. Then we had several others on the board attempt and laboriously complete the task on the original. To date, I'm the only one I know of who took a solo Thief to WarMECH and defeated him in the original (took nearly two months of attempts from outside the Mirage Tower for that, no save states on NES, friends). Nearly anyone on the board can make a solo run on this version of the game because the difficulty has been dumbed down to the extreme (and all the bugs were fixed, making it easier still).
What I am saying is that if you have played both the original NES version AND ANY of the remakes, you'll know this game is a gross bastardization of the original. Kinda like the original Ghostbusters movie vs the new one.... ugh, just ugh. In fact, the ONLY thing truly improved upon in the remakes is the ToF music. Part of Final Fantasy 1's charm was just how difficult it could be at times and how you couldn't just save where you wanted to.
the oxyale has made me wonder for a long time, whether the originator meant it to be pronounced ox yale, like it's some kind of strange object, or oxy ale like a drink that oxygenates. hmm..
It's meant to be "oxy ale". The Japanese for the item is 空気の水, Kūki no Mizu, or Water of air. The FF encyclopaedia describes it as a drink that imbues the drinker with the ability to breathe underwater.

Great run and commentary. I hope to see more of Gyre in the future.
I cannot unsee the robots in the Mirage Tower shooting squirt guns at the party.
I just want to say no matter what happens from here , I love that you called him a "fighter" not a warrior
He's a lover not a fighter, but he's also a fighter so don't get any funny ideas.
@@benrichardson5662 he will always be a fighter first
DragonDarch is pretty clearly set on “learn speedrun” mode. He is focused on that game like a pit bull when it sees a smaller dog.
This is the version I first played, so this is nice to see. Gyre is an excellent runner/commentator! :)
