Final Fantasy VIII Review: Part 10 – Time Loop

And thus....Dr Insaneo was born!

Why does he have to look so much like Dr. Wily?

I approve of your choice of ending theme music ^^

this joke about spoony becoming dr.insano
is so feaking arsome i love it
and I'd so not ekspektet that is was april fool
ARSOME :D

What magic spell to use?

Slime and snails, puppy dog tails, thunder or lightning?

Well baby says:

"Dance magic dance!"

So wait... You became Doctor Insano so you could go back in time and stop the Final Fantasy series from ever happening? Not only do I applaud you, but I completely approve and wish to help. But if you did that, the games wouldn't exist in the first place. And then there would be no need to go back... which would mean the games would be there because you didn't go back... prompting you to go back in time to destroy them... which would mean that the games wouldn't be there for you to need to go back... prompting you not to go back... which would mean the games would be there because you didn't... AAUUGH! MY HEAD HURTS!!!

LOL, why're ya wearing a t-shirt w/ my surname on it?

watch the phantasmagoria vids >:C

at 9:51 why was your shirt inside-out?

holy shit, i watched these videos before and thought they were hilarious, but i was just showing them to my brother who is also a big spoony fan and i noticed something.

I just recently finished the friggin hilarious phantasmogoria video set and i just noticed spoony's shirt in this..."I HEARD that curtis!" I literally almost shit my pants just now...so friggin awesome. I would totally rock a "i heard that curtis" shirt...

There is someone whose is researching a workable theorey on time travel. Porblem is, how he's figured it out, you can only go as far back in time as the moment the machine itself was turned on, and going foreward in time will be impossible.

XD I like how as soon as you start talking about time travel, your voice slips into Dr. Insano speech. Brilliant.

Also liking the Doctor Who reference. ^_^

I hope Dr. Insano keeps appearing in your videos every now and again. He's awesome. I'd happily be his lab assistant any day. :3

Serious business, eh? I certainly hope this is all an act.

Well Spoony, if you thought the plot of Final Fantasy 1 was messed up, you're going to have a lot of trouble playing Dissidia. It complicates the story of Garland even further, and somehow, he and Chaos are separate entities.

Oh, and the big bad Chaos is voiced by the little cat from Coraline.

this basically summarizes FF1 in a single rap song....not kidding...

That was actually really funny. And yes... I know some one (my little brother) who actually played Final Fantasy multiple times with just one class... ><

and woot for the Dr. Who reference yeay.

Hey great review! Its one of my favorites, and I understand how you feel about Final Fantasy. To many people talk about how good the games are and still they suck! When I saw your review I tried out Final Fantasy 1 and it sucked just as much as you said it did! Screw!! these games!

I love this episode!!
Especially the "Dr. Insano Begins" part. That put me to tears!
Oh, and the t-shirt, too... I heard that, Curtis! XD. You have to watch the Phantasmagoria videos to understand that...

Crap, I fell for it. Well, I knew you couldn't be trusted after you said the whole series sucked. Come on, your username is the Spoonyone.

"And yeah, the FF battle system of assigning attacks and then not attacking if your target has already been downed IS retarded and more than likely due to lazy coding"

Coding it to be what we're all used to in this day and age is impossible on an NES game; there aren't even patches for it because it's just not doable. No excuses for Lufia or Golden Sun though; THEY were lazy coding.

As for the actual video, I loved it. 'Twas a beautiful parody all-in-all for a joke (that I saw a few months too late but I digress). Also, am I mistaken or was that the theme from Ultimecia's Castle during the Rise of Insano?

Now, I'll be the first to say that FFVIII has weird things, and if you need perfection, well, I'd suggest not playing games or doing anything... but what about the original Final Fantasy being old excuses it from having retarded plot cues? It's not like stories changed significantly from the late 80s to the late 90s...

And yeah, the FF battle system of assigning attacks and then not attacking if your target has already been downed IS retarded and more than likely due to lazy coding; at least one other game that suffered from it: Lufia & the Fortress of Doom.

Errm i clicked the wrong comment button, my previous comment was directed at The Finale video -_-'

Awesome video as always XD Makes me so glad I never actually FINISHED this abomination. Buuut for someone who doesnt like FFVIII you sure do have a lot of the figures, Noah. Oh, and awesome use of the Star Trek 3 scene where the Klingons get blown up on the bridge of the Enterprise due to the Self-Destruct :P

Your videos are funny as shit!! When are you going to finish your Final Fantasy 8 review?

While I've generally enjoyed playing Final Fantasy games, and even consider FF VI one of the greatest games of all time, I agree with a lot of the things you bring up in this review.

Joke or not, you at least hit the nail on the head with one thing: The broken-ass battle system!
That was one of the main reasons I never bothered to complete this game until I got the GBA version, which features a fixed battle system. (I think it's largely the same as the PSX version - which probably also has fixed the hitting-empty-space issue)

That and the fact that you have to spend vast amounts of time just fighting (or, as MMO players would say - grinding) random battles where the enemies are manageable if you are to have any hope of ever being able to progress without cheating or being insanely patient with regards to reloading. (why didn't you mention that? combined with the retarded battle system, this makes the NES version virtually unplayable - drawing magic in FF8 is a cruise in comparison)

The fact that there isn't a proper boss theme - just the same regular battle theme (which is also inferior to those of most other FF games) droning on and on battle after battle - doesn't really help either.

But then again, as MondoMolesto says, I guess it was pretty much the first of its kind, and they just hadn't really gotten the genre worked out yet.

My recommendation to anyone who hasn't already played this is, unless you are a REALLY HARDCORE Final Fantasy fan and have already played through all the other games, skip this one, and either play the slightly better FF2, or the almost infinitely better FF IV through VI on SNES (VI is by far the best of them, and has one of the most brilliant soundtracks ever to grace a game). FF VII is also quite good, but tends to be overly slow-paced compared to the older SNES titles, but if you can put up with the seemingly endless dialogue and rather dull storyline that comprises most of Disc 1 (which curiously is about 90% of the game in terms of playtime - Disc 2 is relatively short, and Disc 3 is only the final boss), it has by far the most brilliant character customization system of any FF game, allowing you to turn your character into juggernaughts of destruction with the correct combinations of materia - even the most powerful optional bosses, Ruby and Emerald Weapon will be helpless against you.

The game really was shitty...but it was the first of it's kind i guess. It did introduce a lot of cool things, that they still use in RPG to this day, but still...

The thing that i remembered about it was i thought the first part of the game, before the bridge opens was kinda fun, then you sort of realize "Oh....thats how the whole game is going to be". As a kid, i remember i never really enjoyed the game all that much, i simply wanted to beat it (which i never did btw). It was more of a time-killer than anything else, not so much entertainment. A lot of the older NES games were like that though, just something to occupy the kids, hopefully keep them from procreating.

i personally think its funnier to think that Dr. Insano is really Spoony.
just the thought of him going so far out of his gourd and becoming Dr. Insano is so lame ass yet so entertaining to me, regardless of the continuity errors like when Spoony told him to shut up when he was doing the "Anti-magic force field generator " sales pitch or when he took off his goggles in the Linkara crossover for the WARRIOR comic review.

I realise that this review is formed of satire, but your own little time-theory is a bit fail. If you were to go back in time and give yourself your time machine, you would never have a reason to make it in the first place, therefore writing it out of the time line. You would then have a reason to invent it again. Seeing as you don't remember what happened last time, you go back in time and give yourself the machine again, looping the passage of time.

When will Part 11 come? DDD: It had been awhile~! Pleasee spoony!

I love how you said "Fiends" in that accent it made me laugh ever time. LOl at people playing with one character. Dude FF8 plot is not that bad
