Completely Unrelated / B******* Guide to FINAL FANTASY
« on: 2012-03-15 03:05:48 »
Speaking of the devil... I found this quick, funny and entertaining exposition about game history.
My english level make that some parts of these british guys words, get away from my understanding. I want to understand it completely. Subtitles would make the definitive solution for me but they're not available anywhere like you can see.
I publish this here for two reasons:
1) To see if somebody would like to pleeeease!!, lend me a little hand with the missing pieces of the puzzle, if is not a bother of course.
= E
2) And of course, to share the videos with all of you, FF partners. ^_^
Here is what I've manage to caught 'til the moment hearing and transcribing (in case of somebody has the kindness of helping me). Didn't posted the second part because I have planned to work in it one of these days, only a few minutes ago I finished of writing all the texts below:
PART 1 UPDATED... [25/03/2012]

PS: Wouldn't be bad to put in the forum commands for videosites, spoilers and things like that.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,180
Hey, folks. Welcome to the latest
GameSpot ----- Guide.
2
00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:05,280
A quick announcement
before we get started:
3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,720
Unfortunately we're going to have
to change the name of the series,
4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:13,090
because somebody else owns the term
[---guide---bluff---] and...
5
00:00:13,170 --> 00:00:15,010
anything associated with it.
6
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:18,870
It hasn't any easy, but I've come up
with a couple myself and,
7
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:22,070
I just wanted to sort of...
test them out on you guys.
8
00:00:22,220 --> 00:00:25,950
The hardest part's been trying to think of
a name that hasn't already been taken.
9
00:00:25,950 --> 00:00:28,630
But I'm just gonna throw
them out there and,
10
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:31,020
you guys can can let me know
of you think, that would be great.
11
00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:32,440
«You 'bluffs' Tube».
12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,070
«Google's Guides to

00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:38,670
«Prince the Artist formerly
known as Bluffers Guy».
14
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:40,670
«iBluff».
Small one...

00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:44,110
«Call of Bluff Modern Guidefare 3».
16
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:46,110
And «Edge».
17
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:49,240
Any keepers in dash?
We're open to suggestions if not.
18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,760
Honestly, we're getting kind of
desperate at this stage.
19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,030
If you have any idea, please,
stick them in the comments below
20
00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:56,300
or feel free to
'tweet-face' me directly.
21
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:00,020
In the meantime though here's a...
'something' to Final Fantasy.
22
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:03,990
Is incredibly long because there are
over 2 billion of Final Fantasy games.
23
00:01:03,990 --> 00:01:06,830
In fact we had to split it
into two spearate videos.
24
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:09,570
The second of which will be available
on friday 3.
25
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,290
Some of you'll, no doubt, think
this is some sort of 'evil' GameSpot plot,
26
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:16,080
to make sure we get twice as
many views on our videos but,
27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,780
honestly, I can think in a lot
easier way to doing that thing,
28
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:22,490
that having to sit through dozens of
hours of Final Fantasy footage.
29
00:01:22,490 --> 00:01:25,080
I gotta know...
Taking out my junk?
30
00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:27,870
Oh, maybe that would have
the opposite effect.
31
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:29,570
I guess we'll find out next week.
32
00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:32,310
In the meantime, here is
something about Final Fantasy.
33
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:33,390
Enjoy!
34
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:37,480
You asked for, folks:
Final Fantasy.
35
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,490
Except it wasn't really final,
now was it?
36
00:01:39,490 --> 00:01:41,630
Is like that movie,
'The Neverending Story'.
37
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:43,520
I spent 7.49 on the BluRay.
38
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,120
Bloody thing ended after an hour
and forty two minutes.
39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,220
Hi, yeah... I ordered a copy of
'The Neverending Story'
40
00:01:48,220 --> 00:01:50,790
of you guys but it ended
in like... two hours
41
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:52,790
just wondering, is it like a fault
or something?
42
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:55,300
Sorry Sir, I'm not following.
Did your disc arrive broken?
43
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,610
No, no... is working. It just ended.
There's no more story.
44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,080
Can I get a refund or something?
Or like a replacement?
45
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,760
Do you have any copies of that
'Final Destination' movie?
46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,150
Which one, sir? There are 5
'Final Destination' movies?
47
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:12,130
Well, Final Fantasy is guilty of
this black and false advertising too.
48
00:02:12,130 --> 00:02:14,810
Final? They only went to make
13 bloody sequels.
49
00:02:14,810 --> 00:02:16,980
And then they made a bunch
of sequels for the sequels.
50
00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:20,190
Next year, they'll probably release
Final Fantasy XIII-2.
51
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,070
2...
52
00:02:21,070 --> 00:02:23,430
I consider myself
a well first gamer but...
53
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:25,250
I've just never been into RPGs.
54
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:26,490
I'm on the shame to admit it
55
00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:28,740
but I never actually played
a Final Fantasy game.
56
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:31,900
I know about Cloud and the chocobos
and I've seen the movies but...
57
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:35,400
the style and gameplay of the series
just never appealed to me.
58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400
So I'm gonna need a lot
of help on this one.
59
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,570
We need an expert.
And who better to help
60
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:41,220
than the GameSpot staff member
61
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:43,850
who most looks like a
Final Fantasy character.
62
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:45,460
No, no, no...
the other one.
63
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:48,130
So... tell me, mate.
What's a Final Fantasy?
64
00:02:48,130 --> 00:02:51,190
Well, is a story full of
mistery, intrigue,
65
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:53,720
and lots of kids with
spikey-head.
66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,190
Let me take you back to 1987.
67
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:58,780
Three man in a baby (???)
(?????),
68
00:02:58,780 --> 00:03:02,850
people (???) (?????)
(????????) rebuild the city,
69
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:04,300
in somewhere on Japan,
70
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:08,040
a new videogame series was about
to take the world by storm.
71
00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:11,120
That series was of course,
Final Fantasy.
72
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,120
Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi,
73
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,120
and developed by Square
for the NES,
74
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,730
it brought the role playing
game to the masses.
75
00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:21,400
Becoming in one of the most influential
titles in the history of videogames.
76
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Making spikey-head,
massive swords,
77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,930
and western looking
ancient people,
78
00:03:25,930 --> 00:03:28,220
or is that ancient looking
western people,
79
00:03:28,220 --> 00:03:30,220
part of the public consciousness.
80
00:03:30,220 --> 00:03:33,290
Many of the (???) they made
into the first Final Fantasy,
81
00:03:33,290 --> 00:03:35,250
came from RPGs (???).
82
00:03:35,250 --> 00:03:37,010
Dungeon crawl is like Wizardry,
83
00:03:37,010 --> 00:03:38,720
ta (??????????????????????????),
84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,570
and yes, even legendary
(????), Dungeons & Dragons.
85
00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:45,550
Final Fantasy took those ideas
and created a game
86
00:03:45,550 --> 00:03:46,900
on a grand scale.
87
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:49,850
There was turn-based combats,
a huge map to explore,
88
00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:52,570
and airships, towns,
dungeons, a magic system,
89
00:03:52,570 --> 00:03:54,260
a leveling system,
(???)quests,
90
00:03:54,260 --> 00:03:56,260
incredible visuals for the time.
91
00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:59,720
And the exploring plots
(???????????????????),
92
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,160
to expand the limits
of space and time.
93
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Sure, it still was in the
most (???) games,
94
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,950
and ended up (????)
(???) towards (???).
95
00:04:07,950 --> 00:04:11,020
But, its influence on videogames
is unquestionable.
96
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:13,580
And the fact that it was made
by just 7 people,
97
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:15,180
(????) the more impressive.
98
00:04:15,180 --> 00:04:16,660
Well, I was impressed actually.
99
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:19,180
Final Fantasy II is next, right?
That's the 'sequel'?
100
00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:20,550
Well... so so.
101
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:22,500
It is one thing we (???) by now.
102
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:25,390
Is the videogame titles
(????) make any sense.
103
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:26,710
A (????????)
104
00:04:26,710 --> 00:04:29,190
In any case, II did introduce
some elements
105
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:31,330
that will become staples
of the series:
106
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:34,090
namely recurring character Cid,
and chocobos,
107
00:04:34,090 --> 00:04:36,410
which associated like a cross
between a baby chicken,
108
00:04:36,410 --> 00:04:38,580
and an ostrich (???).
109
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,520
Ahh!!
What the f&%# is that?!
110
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,630
There we go...
111
00:04:41,630 --> 00:04:43,240
The game is pretty good as well.
112
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,620
II featured an epic tale
of empire invasion
113
00:04:45,620 --> 00:04:47,620
and also a (?????) system,
114
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:50,120
(???) activity-based system.
115
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,360
III introduced the world of summons
as of Shiva, Ifrit and Odin,
116
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,820
All of which will become
staples of the series.
117
00:04:56,820 --> 00:04:59,680
III also introduced a new
job change system.
118
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,310
Well... let you switch job
rows for your characters,
119
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:05,400
giving you access to special
commands like steal for thief,
120
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,010
or jump for dragon.
121
00:05:07,010 --> 00:05:10,010
A (????) different to the
Final Fantasy II and III
122
00:05:10,010 --> 00:05:12,420
you remember in the US,
don't worry...
123
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:14,970
(????????) developed
(???) of the crazys.
124
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:19,770
The original FF II and III went actually
ever released out sold of Japan,
125
00:05:19,770 --> 00:05:22,310
but the subsequent FF IV was.
126
00:05:22,310 --> 00:05:27,000
To avoid confusion, FF IV was
actually named II in the US.
127
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,810
Final Fantasy V never met
the States at all,
128
00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:33,250
but Final Fantasy VI did,
which they numbered III.
129
00:05:33,770 --> 00:05:35,750
Mmm... my brain hurts.
130
00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:38,260
Just wait (????) two sequels.
131
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:40,180
How am I supossed to (??)
this in the right order.
132
00:05:40,180 --> 00:05:42,180
I better mess (?????)
clip already.
133
00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:43,660
No, (????), probably,
but,
134
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:45,460
don't worry,
we're not done yet.
135
00:05:45,460 --> 00:05:47,580
Final Fantasy IV was
the first in the series
136
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,390
to make its way onto the SNES,
137
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:50,700
at least in Japan.
138
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,780
It was also the first introducing
the active time battle system,
139
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:56,690
which (????) commands,
140
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,290
making battles more exciting
than ever before.
141
00:05:59,290 --> 00:06:03,420
So exciting in fact, that it was
used for the next five FF games.
142
00:06:03,420 --> 00:06:05,240
It was also proclaimed for its score,
143
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,590
which is written by composer
Nobuo Uematsu.
144
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:11,210
His work in subscreen games (???)
worldwide critical acclaimed.
145
00:06:11,210 --> 00:06:14,200
Final Fantasy V, another
Japan-only release.
146
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,730
Continued the series success
selling over 2 million copies,
147
00:06:17,730 --> 00:06:20,890
and earning praise for the depth
of its character customizations,
148
00:06:20,890 --> 00:06:22,710
(?????) job system.
149
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:25,600
The next game on the series
did see a worldwide release,
150
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,380
and boy was it good...
151
00:06:27,380 --> 00:06:30,620
Final Fantasy VI
hit the SNES in 1994.
152
00:06:30,650 --> 00:06:33,230
And was met with
unanimous critical acclaim.
153
00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:35,370
Is considered (??) one of
the most memorable
154
00:06:35,370 --> 00:06:37,720
and emotionally
involved plots ever,
155
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,060
for live incredible depth
and realism.
156
00:06:40,060 --> 00:06:42,880
A (?????????????)
of the series.
157
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560
It was Final Fantasy
turned up to eleven.
158
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,940
There were a grand breaking
14 playable characters,
159
00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:53,710
masses of towns sidequests, NPCs,
dungeons, incredible music...
160
00:06:53,710 --> 00:06:57,280
In fact, the famous opera scene
is an incredible (??) moment.
161
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,810
Basically, Final Fantasy VI
is freaking awesome.
162
00:07:00,810 --> 00:07:03,800
(????) it is one of the
best videgames of all time,
163
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520
and the best in the series.
164
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,000
And if you haven't played it yet...
165
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,510
- Whoa, whoa, whoa...
- Whoa, dude,
166
00:07:08,510 --> 00:07:10,010
you're messing up the story, ok?
167
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:10,970
Just let me get on with it.
168
00:07:10,990 --> 00:07:13,000
Hey, I may not know a lot
of the Final Fantasy,
169
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:15,460
but I'm pretty sure people think
VII is the best, right?
170
00:07:15,490 --> 00:07:17,560
So so, is a bit of a long story.
171
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,560
Ah, no... screw this.
I'm taking a break, man.
172
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,700
I need a (??????)
(??????) or something.
173
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:23,870
Whoa, whoa! Danny, Danny!
Wait, wait, wait!
174
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:28,290
We haven't (???) about Aeris,
or Leona Lewis, or Vanille.PART 2 UPDATED... [01/04/2012]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49pysD6J5SU
Code: [Select]
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,950
Hey, dude.
Sorry by the (???).
2
00:00:01,950 --> 00:00:04,530
Can we continue the story of
FF (??), please?
3
00:00:04,530 --> 00:00:05,820
Yeah, sure, man. Go ahead.
4
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:10,020
We've already covered
I, II, III, IV, V, VI.
5
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:12,040
So that means next stop is...
6
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:15,010
Here we are, folks.
Final Fantasy VII.
7
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:17,430
The game that blew minds,
ended relationships,
8
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:21,140
and gave 14 Europe-boys their first
taste of love and lost.
9
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:24,000
Released on the PlayStation in 1997,
10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
it was the first not being released
on a Nintendo console,
11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,770
and the first (???) breathtaking (???)
cinematics, and 3D graphics.
12
00:00:31,770 --> 00:00:34,940
(???) 3D graphics over 2D backdrops.
13
00:00:34,940 --> 00:00:37,830
And the characters looked a bit
like (???) toys...
14
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:41,030
(???) 3 CDs of the game was epic.
15
00:00:41,030 --> 00:00:43,540
I mean if you (???) started
to play videogames,
16
00:00:43,540 --> 00:00:46,060
or if you never touched a
G-RPG in your life,
17
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:47,780
and many of his players hadn't,
18
00:00:47,780 --> 00:00:50,270
it was like hearing Mozart fith
the first time,
19
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:52,150
or getting your first feel of boob:
20
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:55,180
a (???)
unforgettable moment.
21
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:57,960
And there are moments
(???) in Final Fantasy VII.
22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,880
The breathtaking opening sequence when
Midgar reveal for the first time,
23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,530
the "oh my God & crapping
my pants" moment
24
00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:07,120
when Sephiroth emerges
from the flames of Nibelheim,
25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,020
the minigames at Gold Saucer,
26
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:10,430
the cross dressing scene,
27
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:13,750
the touching moment as Red XIII
learn from his father's fate,
28
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:16,720
seeing a summoning glorious 3D
for the first time,
29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,020
going snowboarding,
30
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,960
escaping from SHINRA's headquarters
on a bad-ass bike,
31
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:23,340
breeding chocobos,
defeating Weapons...
32
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:26,130
We could make this entire guide
about this one game,
33
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:27,930
such as (?????????????).
34
00:01:27,930 --> 00:01:30,550
But (???)often remember the most,
is the love triangle
35
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:34,210
(???) spikey-head protagonist Cloud,
and Tifa & Aeris.
36
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:36,280
Sure, you could go
on a date with Barret
37
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,280
at the Gold Saucer (???).
38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,860
but most people developed
a(???) Aeris,
39
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:44,440
leading us to one of the most
unforgettable moments in gaming history.
40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,510
Whoa, whoa... hold up.
I think I know your'e about to say,
41
00:01:46,510 --> 00:01:48,290
is not a kinda spoiler, right?
42
00:01:48,290 --> 00:01:50,380
Dude, the game is 15 years old,
43
00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:52,490
I think we passed
spoiling time by now.
44
00:01:52,490 --> 00:01:54,850
Fine, but I'm (?????)
on your desk.
45
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:58,740
Yes, (?????) you spent most of
the game (?????) pants off,
46
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:02,260
well, she dies...
It was unbeliavable (???)
47
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:05,000
an a moment I remember
turning me to sobbing wet
48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,610
(???) of sadness.
49
00:02:06,610 --> 00:02:08,910
Speaking of sadness,
there was a summon(????).
50
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:12,280
which worked great, but my God
with the animation is long.
51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400
I mean, Knight of the Round
was ridiculous,
52
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,330
Oxbow lake (???) in less time
than it takes the animation to play.
53
00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:21,040
Still, the game (???)
amazingly well today,
54
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,510
the graphics, the gameplay,
the stunning music!
55
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:25,410
In fact, I go as far
as awarding it
56
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:28,130
the Official Mark Walton
Awesome Balls Award.
57
00:02:28,130 --> 00:02:30,700
- Here you go...
- Ahh... thanks?
58
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:32,620
(???)Square-Enix(???)
59
00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:34,190
And then there was VIII,
60
00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:37,890
with rank 2° for the greatest
Final Fantasy opening ever.
61
00:02:37,890 --> 00:02:40,490
"L(????)!"
62
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:44,410
It droped the (???) graphics
in favor of more realistic approach,
63
00:02:44,410 --> 00:02:46,960
and introduced the Junction system
for summons.
64
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,290
The narrative was as epic as ever,
65
00:02:49,290 --> 00:02:50,910
and was actually a love story.
66
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:54,320
Not all fans go on board with that,
but VIII is one of my favorites.
67
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Oh, and lead character Squall
carried a gunblade,
68
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,490
which is as freaking awesome
as it seems.
69
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,740
IX (???) back to the series
(?????),
70
00:03:04,740 --> 00:03:09,410
and consequently featured (???)
(????????) despise.
71
00:03:09,410 --> 00:03:11,830
Suffice it to say it wasn't
one of my favorites.
72
00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:14,540
Thousands of reasons (???) I
stayed away (?????????????)after all,
73
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:16,110
but (?????) with it,
74
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:20,170
and still one of the highest
rated and selling FF titles.
75
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:23,010
IX was also infamous
for its strategy guide,
76
00:03:23,010 --> 00:03:25,090
which in (????) provide
all the information
77
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:27,430
within the book you've
just paid money for,
78
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:30,080
and instead (????)
to go online to get it.
79
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,780
Absolutely (???) particularly
(??????????)world online.
80
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:35,850
(???)
Brilliant...
81
00:03:35,850 --> 00:03:38,920
To say people were
excited about FF X,
82
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,790
would be an understatement.
83
00:03:40,790 --> 00:03:45,070
It was to be the first on PS2,
the first entirely in 3D,
84
00:03:45,070 --> 00:03:47,040
the first with voice acting.
85
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,430
It brought those things and more,
86
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:52,550
including a new conditioned
turn-based battle system,
87
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:55,270
and a new leveling system
called Sphere Grid.
88
00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:57,650
The world Spira was a joy to explore
89
00:03:57,650 --> 00:04:00,650
despite lacking the overworld map
of previous games.
90
00:04:00,650 --> 00:04:03,210
Final Fantasy X was
widely popular,
91
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:07,630
(????) first direct
sequel in FF history.
92
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:10,390
Final Fantasy X-2 was that sequel.
93
00:04:10,390 --> 00:04:12,830
Notable for its
all-female main cast,
94
00:04:12,830 --> 00:04:14,830
having only three
playable characters,
95
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:16,300
and multiple endings.
96
00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:20,140
It was also notable for not having any
music written by the long-time writer.
97
00:04:20,140 --> 00:04:23,310
Nobuo Uematsu,
(????) this atrocity.
98
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,800
I don't wanna (??)you,
Danny. But...
99
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,070
things about to get scary.
And enough scary.
100
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:38,460
That song was scary enough
to be honest, man.
101
00:04:38,460 --> 00:04:42,000
(????????) loudly sang in the depths
of Leona Lewis or anything.
102
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:47,520
XI brought Final Fantasy
to the (????) RPG orients.
103
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,400
And was set in the
mystical world of Vana'diel.
104
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,250
Unlike the rest of the series,
105
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:53,920
there were no starring characters.
106
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,260
Instead, you could create
and costumize your own.
107
00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:58,790
Assigning name and career
with the (???) job system,
108
00:04:58,790 --> 00:05:02,170
It was also notable for simultaneous
cross platform play,
109
00:05:02,170 --> 00:05:04,560
across PlayStation 2 and PC.
110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,560
The community is still
getting strong.
111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,550
With hundreds of thousands of players
still battling their way through quests.
112
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:14,780
(??????) in 2006
to knew universal acclaim.
113
00:05:14,780 --> 00:05:16,600
I am not so sure about it.
114
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,560
We are in (???????)
territory again after all.
115
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,020
but it introduced a
number of new features.
116
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:24,890
These included the Active
Dimension battle system,
117
00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:27,120
where battles took place
on the overworld
118
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,120
inside of a separate
battle screen,
119
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,740
(???), and an incredibly
complicated (???) system.
120
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:34,480
Ok, seriously.
How long this is gonna take?
121
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560
- Can I go another break?
- No, breaks are for the weak!
122
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,480
Besides,
we're nearly at the end.
123
00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:45,620
Here we are, folks.
Final Fantasy XIII,
124
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:48,080
the latest and greatest
from Square Enix.
125
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,630
Which arrived on the PS3
and Xbox 360,
126
00:05:51,630 --> 00:05:53,020
back in 2010.
127
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:56,880
And (?????????)made my eyes both melt,
and my pants soaking wet.
128
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Is just a shame that the first
20 hours were...
129
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,850
well... a bit (????).
130
00:06:01,850 --> 00:06:04,280
Is basically you and your (???)
walking down.
131
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:07,590
a very long, lineal, and
(??) endless corridor,
132
00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:09,590
battling a few enemies
along the way,
133
00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:12,380
and (?????) RPG melodrama.
134
00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:14,310
Things (???)when you
(???????),
135
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:17,960
but even then (???????????).
136
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,570
There was a lot of
fighting (???),
137
00:06:19,570 --> 00:06:21,150
and it was extremely good.
138
00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:23,150
This was thanks to
the modified version
139
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:26,440
of the ATB system called
Paradigm Shift.
140
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,810
Which make battles extremely deep
and (?????),
141
00:06:29,810 --> 00:06:31,980
despite still being in
turn-based.
142
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:33,980
There was (???) graphics
143
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:36,850
and an excellent battle system
(?????????),
144
00:06:36,850 --> 00:06:38,240
for (??) Vanille.
145
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,170
What we call (????)
Square Enix (???)
146
00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:43,420
the most irritating being
on the planet.
147
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:45,990
We can only (???)
fans of Jar Jar Binks.
148
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,200
(I'm...? uncanny???)
149
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,160
Oh yeah, and the theme song,
Leona F****** Lewis...
150
00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:17,100
- My God, stop this!
- Sorry...
151
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,870
- So is that it? The end?
- Not exactly,
152
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:20,980
cause yes...
there were spin-offs too.
153
00:07:20,980 --> 00:07:23,200
Wait a second.
What about F................?
154
00:07:26,460 --> 00:07:28,760
- It was (????).
- Are you not even gona... ?
155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,450
B(????)!
156
00:07:31,170 --> 00:07:33,180
A sight for the main (??) titles
157
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:37,480
Final Fantasy (?????)
of spin-offs and (???)
158
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,060
We'd need to make a hole at
the guide to go trough them all,
159
00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:42,840
so instead here's a
super sped-up random.
160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,830
So, what's next for Final Fantasy.
161
00:07:52,830 --> 00:07:56,230
Well, there's the recently
released FF XIII-2,
162
00:07:56,230 --> 00:07:59,400
which promess to bring back
all that lovely exploration
163
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,890
missing from the first games.
164
00:08:00,890 --> 00:08:04,320
Along with towns, NPCs,
(????????????????)
165
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,560
in some ways(??????)
166
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,630
But hey, don't take
my word for it.
167
00:08:08,630 --> 00:08:11,550
Check out the video review from
our very own Kevin Vanord,
168
00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:13,550
which is (???)
GameSpot right now.
169
00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:18,230
There's FF VERSUS XIII-2,
but that was announced in 2006.
170
00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:20,700
Since then we (???) a
few more teaser trailers,
171
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,870
and the news say they actually went
in the full production last year.
172
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:27,270
So... it might be a while yet.
173
00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:29,760
So, that the main series,
spin-offs (???????),
174
00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:31,360
and the coming sequels.
175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,220
but we're still not done.
176
00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:34,430
There's the movies.
177
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:36,050
Which were quite
frankly terribles,
178
00:08:36,050 --> 00:08:37,830
but hey,
the looked pretty.
179
00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:41,590
So, if you're (?????)
making your eyes (????) joy,
180
00:08:41,590 --> 00:08:44,880
and your brain tried to escape
(??) of your nostrils in despair,
181
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,550
check out
FF 'Legend of the Crystals',
182
00:08:47,550 --> 00:08:52,100
FF 'The Spirit Within',
and FF VII 'Advent Children'.
183
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:53,780
Then there's the merchandising.
184
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:55,780
Which is so vast (??)
George Lucas
185
00:08:55,780 --> 00:08:58,090
(??????????)
Star Wars to shame.
186
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:01,030
Plushies, figurines,
trading cards, jewelry,
187
00:09:01,030 --> 00:09:04,520
So many (??) of useless junk
for you to (??) your money on.
188
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,280
But Final Fantasy's biggest
legacy to the world: cosplay.
189
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,900
More specifically, bad cosplay...
190
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:12,900
(????????????????)in a half.
Cheers, mate.
191
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:14,380
Hey no problem, man.
Anytime.
192
00:09:14,380 --> 00:09:15,780
I could use you (???????)
(?????????) actually,
193
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:17,760
is there any other series
you're kinda crazy with.
194
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,010
Ahhm... (???) series.
195
00:09:20,010 --> 00:09:22,440
Ahh...
Uhh... maybe actually.PS: Wouldn't be bad to put in the forum commands for videosites, spoilers and things like that.
