    Three and a half hours about old FF games, I'm all in!

    I remember just turning 21 in '91 and a friend giving me the first FF and Nobunaga's Ambition and fell in love with both. 32 years later and am still buying the latest installments.
  • @RandomBucket
    3.5 hours of FF info! My Tuesday morning is now going to be the best one ever thank you! 🤩
  • @TheWiddaC
    I just listened to this while sketching. I don't normally listen to/watch videos this long but this was Fantastic!! Brilliant job 👍

    Amazing video, so incredibly thorough. Thank you for all your work.

    Correction: Toriyama was not a rising star when he did the art for Dragon Quest. It's easy to not realize it in the west, but the manga he did before DragonBall (Dr Slump) was widely successful. So much so that he was already a millionaire before drawing the first Goku image
  • @davidgeorge3944

  • @Muncheiy
    I love you guys and the style of deep dive videos you do. I want you to know that you inspired me to write to Sakaguchi and Uematsu. I’m a struggling writer who grew up playing FF and these guys were already my heroes. Your description of their early struggles and how they defied all expectations was so inspiring to me. Thank you.
  • @ThatLuckyBear
    First time at the channel and I'm astonished at the quality and readability of this breakdown. Brilliant work. See you again once I beat some more Final Fantasy games (on 4 now!)
  • @SoraMatt
    I hope we get a sequel series/compilation that covers the 16 bit era, then the PS1 era doing them in 3s. This was good and want to see this format continue
  • @natehancock9663
