    For el Diablo, I mostly just drew and casted Demi on him. It hits him for HUGE damage.

    You gotta admit tho; the T-board was fucking awesome. Too bad you don’t really see it again in the game.

    Teh Satan indeed.

    Hey pal, most of your beefs with this game are completely valid, but when the goddamn menu screen says “Save before using” a particular item, that’s called a hint. Some serious shit is going to go down if you use it. Complaining about after the fact only makes you look like an idiot.

    The devil in the lamp is very similar to the Red Dragon Archfiend card in Yu-Gi-Oh. Here is the URL http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Dragon_Archfiend.

    No, the only one looking like an idiot is you. He didn’t criticize the game because it was a hard fight, he was criticizing the game because it was a stupid moment.

    Fact; In Swedish, the “Kuken” part of “Renzokuken” means cock, penis.

       Considering how this game is Japanese, I don’t think they had that in mind. Maybe if it was Swedish

    “That's the power of love” by – Huey Lewis and The News. This joke is a reference to Back To The Future. Which is also one of my favorite movies. I rofled when Spoony did this!

    Zell gets his board taken away because the justice system works swiftly in the future because they have abolished all lawyers!!

    I like how Zell was riding around on a fucking hoverboard yet a train blows his freakin' mind.

    Spoony does have more moves than Squall that is a proven fact!

    Ah yes… TEH DEVIL. Curiously, he also happens to be one of the strongest summons in the entire game.

    lol yeah squall is such a lame ass with the women in the game, every cut scene hes got bitches basically ready to strip and obey, and hes all like….i don’t wanna bear your burden, god life sucks…. lmfao just ignore those hoes and stick ur penis inside something wet and warm for once jesus…

    One thing this game has in common with FFX is this curious 3 girl dynamic: you have the sweet, kind girl next door who is the designated love interest, the hot, intelligent chick who is way out of your main character’s league, and an overly cheerful annoying teenage girl who’s sexiness the game keeps showing off.

    If FF8 is anything like X, trying to get with the hot, intelligent chick will just go nowhere.

    “I just hope I don’t run into fucking Zell…” (Zell appears) “DOH!!”

    Wait… is it pronounced “key-stis” or “qwee-stis”? I always thought it was the former.

    Right around 7:28 Spoony says ‘I love how in every RPG in history you are free to wonder in anyone’s house & go through their shit for belongings’. Collegehumor made a video called ‘RPG Hero’s are jerks’, which basically parodies the concept of RPG characters, going through anybody’s house.

    ” she 18 and she whips people, i have to go to Tijuana to get that kind of attention”. Awesome.

    Yeah, the opening there? That happened to me at my prom, too. It was made all the worse by the tutorial after :(

      I feel your pain.. my prom date ditched me before the dancing even started.  He wouldn’t even have been there if it hadn’t been for me, though.. he was a junior.  But I have to say, the worst part was that I had a huge crush on him at the time.. XP worst night ever.

        Talk about it, my date was the same guy I did the promenade with.

  • vincentlaflamme

    I completely disagree with Spoony’s assessment of this game on almost every level (with the exception of Quistis). That being said, the review is still very entertaining :P.

    BTW, Meteo(r) was the ultimate spell in FFIV and VII but not VI. The ultimate spell was vanish + X-Zone in that one.

    The fact that I’m playing this game as I watch this review is hilarious to me! XD Thanks Spoony for forever ruining the game for me with your hilarious commentary!

  • Jeremy Lee

    it wouldve been funny if he wouldve used iron maidens number of the beast for the music

    what is the exact song at 5:12? i know it’s not O Fortuna cause that was right before it.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1039152718 Aivien Whitfield

      The song is by X-Ray Dogs presumably called “here comes the king”. It’s one of those songs that is often used for movie trailers, like for the first Narnia film.
