MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN.

Hell yeah!!

That train had it coming. It was… Um, well… It had it coming!!

I now want to see Thomas the Tank Engine get suplexed.

In the words of Windows, you gotta be fucking kidding.

What is with the hate for FFX? I am at a loss as to why you could hate 10 more then 8

6 was one of the last FF games I really enjoyed.

God, am so glad I am not alone in the FFX hate. Worst cast of characters EVER. The fanservice sequel was even worse.

I loved 6. I am actually playing through it now again. It pretty much all went downhill after that game.

Train reminds me of Blaine from the Dark Tower books. What a fucking pain.

He completely destroyed the train, appeared on top of it after the battle. Surely a example of how purely awesome he is.

Fantastic

Bleh, FFX continued the shitty trend FFVII and VIII set. (Yes I know the fanboys of VII are going to come out of the woodwork now to defend their FAVRIT GAEM EVAR).

Nahh you can’t hate FFX more than you do VIII. I like FFX and I admit some of its flaws but you could’ve picked it first to review it instead of VIII. Why didn’t you?

FFX was fine aside from the atrocious dub it got. 6 great as always, 7 good, 8 i enjoyed but am fully aware of its insane bullshit level, 10 good, 10-2 horrible, 11 …no… 12 fine.

Aslo, Sabin > Yor by far.

Oh my GOD. The evil TOOT. D: FFFFFFFF—

Let’s not forget how many times Sabin has survived drowning escapades. Yor’s done it once. Sabin? THREE.

FFX and FFX-2 are, so far, the only FF games I’ve been able to play all the way through. 1, 4, 6 and 7 bored me to tears before the halfway point and I haven’t touched them since. The dub on X and X-2 could have been better (or at least gave us the option of Japanese audio with English subtitles), but honestly, I’ve seen MUCH worse from Square in the dubs department (Kingdom Hearts, anyone?).

Sabin is a real tough guy to be sure. He can heal your party, wreck single bosses, and clear out groups. That said I have to go with Cyan. The guy rocks a ‘stache and can wreck shop with Quadra-slash.

Ah, I liked X, though it did have some annoying characters (Tidus, obviously, and am I the only person who wanted to kill Rikku?).

Got to agree about Sabin, though. How do you argue with suplexing a train?

To be fair, that train is sort of a pansy. You can outrun it on foot and it can be killed with a feather (Phoenix Down). But as far as Final Fantasy goes, Sabin is truly the man. You don’t screw around with him.

My favor still lies with Luca Blight from Suikoden II, though. He’s a brilliant villain. Batshit insane and merciless. The beginning of the game starts with him inciting war by getting a YOUTH brigade slaughtered and blaming it on a rival country. He doesn’t use any special powers, just his own strength and runes (which all your characters have). He doesn’t power himself up with any ancient magics or spells and he’s not a space alien or a god. He’s just a regular man, a mad warlord out for domination..

..and it STILL takes eighteen of your party members to kill him (during an ambush, no less). Your first group launches a surprise attack with arrows and wounds his personal guard before they engage in battle. He retreats, fights a second group of your party members, retreats and then your main party. After being hit with a volley of arrows AGAIN, he’s still insane enough to challenge the protagonist to a one-on-one duel to the death.

And after all that, before he dies, he has the balls to taunt you about how heartless he was; “Listen, [character name]! It took hundreds to kill me, but I killed humans by the thousands!” and “I am the true face of evil!”

Damn.

And the game isn’t even over yet.

Lawl! Spoony, I already announced Sabin as my favorite character for the longest time ever since I saw him use pummel for the first time. Great, great points you bring out.

It was so astounding, merely opening the page caused Firefox to crash.

No, really.

That said, that is pretty badass.

Oh Spoony, Spoony erm I mean Noah, you can be a real snarky bastard at times. I honestly have no idea why you hate so much on Final Fantasy X, and I will be proud in saying it is by far my FAVORITE game ever. By the way, giant swords, blitzball overdrive attacks-it is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE REAL. People carrying giant ass swords appeals to people because it IS unrealistic and that makes it badass. The swords and other attacks do not concern me or get me mad. Auron is a great character in himself and FFX has one of the most captivating stories I have ever beheld in a game. And there are lots of games that don’t even have a story, or at least not one that motivates you to keep playing for hours.

Yes, yes I know that will not change your opinion, but I can’t simply stand by and let you berate it so easily. I don’t like comparing characters, but I think you were way too quick in disqualifying Auron. I’m sorry these FF games just don’t interest you or have no real logic to make you happy. But hey, you torture yourself for your fans by playing FF8, so maybeeeee you are really a masochist? :) We all have our opinions.

Also it wasn’t just any run of the mill train, it was Doomtrain, the vessel for departing souls!

Also it wasn’t just any run of the mill train, it was Doomtrain, the vessel for departing souls!

Yay, Poeple are paying atantion to me!

Also ,I’d like to point out that it wasn’t any odernery train he suplexed. It was an train MADE OUT OF DEATH!

I like Final Fantasy V the best myself.

Well, you have to take into account that basically everyone in the main cast of FInal Fantasy X is consisted of annoying idiots who are also, well…jerks.

As much as I hate Tidus, at the beginning, despite him being somewhat annoying to listen to, he’s almost the least of them all. Lulu is a bitch, Wakka is a frat-tard, Yuna is just…bland and annoying, Rikku is, ungodly annoying, Auron is a jerk and a smartass, and I guess the only slightly likeable one would be Khimari, given the fact he HARDLY TALKS, but he ambushes Tidus at the beginning. Of course, Tidus does win the most annoying award though.

But am I the only one that can side with him at the beginning at least? I mean, true, LATER he sucks, but at the beginning, he’s in a world he doesn’t know about, and everyone treats him like shit. “Excuse me for not knowing what the fuck that dragon is supposed to be!” And everyone tells HIM that he should keep quiet.

Still enjoyed the game though. I guess the combat was fun.

Heh. Sabin. Sabin kicks a whole slew of ass, but Ayla from Chrono Trigger is one my favorite bad asses. She’s just a death machine! Everyone either has weapons, magic, or lasers at their disposal. Ayla just uses her fists to get the job done. Her fists were enough to kill an intergalactic parasite wielding temporal powers. Ayla # 1!!

It’s either her or Zero from the Megaman X games. Fucker just won’t die!

I say the giant bats and the trains should cross-breed to create an ultimate being that can only be defeated by the combined powers of Yor and Sabin.

…Wait, what?

Kurwa mac, ja pierdole!

Sorry but the ammount of awesome was so big I had to swear in polish to comprehend that.

There was a proposed sequel to Final Fantasy VI. Loosely translated, it was called Cyan and Sabin’s Manly Adventures of Epicness. It was indefinitely shelved because all male playtesters would grow beards and mustaches half way through the opening cutscene and every female playtester would become six month pregnant.

Suplexing a train? in the works of the Nostalgia critic, “That’s bad mutha fuCKAAAAAAH”

With all this FFX hatin tho…do I sense a review of it sometime in the future :D

Yeah true X’s characters… werent the best… still better then 12 and a heck of a lot better then 8′s emo/hyper crowd. And the battle system in X is actualy kind of fun to play with where 8s was just painful. Still though none of them come close to 6 and indeed Sabin he is the man, picks a fucking train up with one hand.

Windows? Nah, that was Palmer who said that…

Anyways. that whole suplex the train thing is ridiculous…its nowhere near reality…

Yeah, that video right there demonstrates why Sabin is one of my all-time favorite Final Fantasy, and perhaps video game characters. Not only can he suplex a train, he can suplex it *to death*.

And really, that part of the game is one of my favorites over all, because you can have Cyan, Sabin and Shadow the ninja in the boss fight, and even a ghost (or two in the party without Shadow) that can possess the other monsters in the main part of the train.

Sorry, Spoony, that’s pretty manly but that’s got nothing on Yor.

6 minutes…

Why do I remember 5 minutes? This is gonna drive me nuts.

Y’know, words don’t describe how glad I was when Sabin was the 2nd possible character you could get after the world ended. He was my main, and I never ever used Celes.

This reminds me of my favorite time in this game, and it also shows off Cyan’s badassery. I was fighting in this one dungeon where everyone spammed the hell out of attacks that turned your party into Zombies. So, trying to get the battle done as quickly as possible, I charge up Cyan’s instant-kill-to-everything-below-his-level move. Right before he performs it, an enemy turns Cyan into a Zombie, he activates the move, and it kills my entire party. I couldn’t stop laughing for a good few minutes.

I liked FFX, and it’s actually the only Final Fantasy that I’ve finished. I enjoyed 4, 6, and 9 a lot too (7 was good, but it wasn’t anything special).

But anyway, suplexing trains may be amazing, but until he can suplex entire civilizations, Yor’s still the man.

Did the site come with an update that saved the name and email for each person using their ISP number or something? I just went to comments and my name ‘n email were already on there <.< I haven't posted since the since update either. Just throwin' that out there.

Yeah, Sabin is just made of win. Though, I have to wonder just what are some of the small points of hatred towards FFX Spoony has. Just the exact ones though, since I CAN see why people would hate the game (personally, I liked it, but 6/7 is my favorite since they're kinda tied for awesomeness), but each person usually has a different point of hate about it (the acting, the combat, the story, the characters, most people usually pick one or two things and run with it).

god that may be the silliest thing of all the Final Fantasy absurdities….I still say Yor wins.

Sabin > All. When you can suplex a train engine, all of a sudden ten foot gun-swords-axe-rifle-nunchucks seem puny and pathetic by comparison.

“I say the giant bats and the trains should cross-breed to create an ultimate being that can only be defeated by the combined powers of Yor and Sabin.”

NO, NOT THE DEATHBATTRAIN?!

Did he just lift the train and plunged it to its doom? Holy shit

That’s hardcore, but too bad it didn’t have a 30 second grandiose animation.

Would now be appropriate for me to point out that Cyan doesn’t need a blade to Bushido?

For me they are tied in awesomeness.

I don’t remember being anywhere near that level or HP or damage when I fought the train. Cheat? Or arduous training through early game enemies?

That was bad-ass, but I STILL prefer Yor. Suplexing a train? Yah, I can see that, but it takes real balls to paraglide with a fuckin’ dead bat and land a drop kick to the face of the enemy. COME ON! Yor’s STILL the man in my eyes!

As awesome as suplexing a train was…

I gotta defend X on this. It’s not good, but it’s a hell of a lot better than VIII.

Cast-wise, both games suck, but Auron alone wins for X.

The level system of X may seem confusing at first, but once you get it it’s fairly simple. It’s a bad idea, but it can be easily ignored and just used as a regular level system (I can’t think of too many people who honestly care about wasting Sphere Levels to make Auron a Black Mage or Lulu a Thief). FFVIII makes no sense and must be micromanaged to shit to make it work. To top it off, there is no difference to the characters. At least X had the good nature to make every one of the characters (minus Kimahri) unique (Tidus= Speedy Fighter, Wakka=Air Attacker/Status Ailments, Yuna=White Mage/Summoner, Lulu=Black Mage, Auron= Powerhouse, Rikku=Thief).

Story-wise, both games suck, but at least X’s story is straightforward (even if badly written (and acted) and has some point (Son must make up for the Father). What’s the point of VIII?

That’s about all I got. At least X is straightforward and relatively painless in comparison to VIII’s constant bullshit.

Also, to Carter Burke, Zero sucks. He stole several games from Mega later on (he stole the X series from him (eventually), the Zero series was about him (even though it says MEGA MAN in the title), and he is the stronger suit in the ZX series (and of course Z comes before X). Screw the whiny emo-bot. I know that he was the original design for X, before he was replaced by the more traditional design. Methinks that Inafune never got over that the company didn’t like his shitty design and stuck him in to a way too important role.

Proto is way better than Zero. He looks cooler (SUNGLASSES VISOR), he isn’t a whiny emo, he has a sweet theme, and he REMEMBERED WHO THE STAR OF THE SERIES IS.

Finally, the title of “The Man” will always go to Ashley Williams to me. HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!!!

You know I gotta go with FistfulOAwesome on this one. Ashley Williams FTW.

And Zero “WOULD” be awesome if he was a straight up villain. He was built by Wily for Pete’s sake! As an emo hero I rank him as just, “pretty cool”.

If you look at the related vids afterwords, the runic blitz vid makes no sense lol, apparently you stop Chuck Norris with the aid of an opera singing supersoldier, but agreed, Sabin is the man

I sense a future entry in the FF8 series about FF10.

He’s just an aweful choo choo train,……

If roland had sabin on his team, I don’t think that book would have lasted near as long. (Bonus points to who ever knows what the hell i’m talking about.)

WOW!!!!! that was Awesome! though “I think we are going to need a lot more hemp when were through”LOL

@ Aran:
In a world with parallel dimensions, knights that are wild west gunslingers (And I swear there were zombies in there somewhere), a guy who can suplex a train actually doesn’t sound far from pluasible.

Agree about FFX….after all it went off to spawn FFX-2, an RPG based on three characters changing clothes during battle

Now THERE’S a guy, able to bend over the space-awesome-continum (sorry for misspelling x.x) and make it his bitch! X3

Lol, how does that even work?! You run under the train and then pick it up? This suplex is un-fucking-believable

haha, that was Hilarius,and he got a tent from it too ^^

What I don’t get, if your looking for the strongest character from a movie or a videogame, I wonder how nobody thinks of Dragonball. Each fighter could have done that with a train. Some of them are fucking able to destroy planets.

Sorry for misspelling I’m from swiss.

Auron is still in the running as far as im concerned.
If Cyan and Auron faced each other in battle (Turn-based as is the custom), the only move Cyan could pull off is flee, or face a sodomising with a broadsword

Well it’s more dramatic than Phoenix Down, I’ll give it that…

Holy fucking shit!

Holy fucking shit!

Shades man! You forgot the shades.
Auron’s so bad ass he constantly wears shades.
Surely thats a few bad ass points he can add to his repetoire?

Oh come on. It’s a ghost train. It has no weight.

Yor, he’s still the man.

And FFX at least had a very well realised Japan-meets-west design to it. That kinda made up for the lamer aspects. Like Wakka and Blitzball.

This is how you should smack things.

This is how you should smack things.

Auron > All. Subsequently, FFX > FFVIII.

Suplexing a fucking train takes some beating, though…

Final Fantasy startet getting downhil after VI with X being the last barely standable one (still no real replay value for me though).

Sabin layeth the smackethdown on that candyass train.

Watch me be so VERY not surprised to learn that you hate FF10, Spoony. I retroactively dislike FF8, but at least I wanted to finish the damn game – FF10 is the only game that I spent hours on and then never bothered to finish. The entire game is essentially ‘Go from Point A to Point B’. Sure, you have ‘plot twists’ and minor distractions, but it’s practically a straight line. Excuse me while I find a game that actually has some twists and turns.

Although I can’t WAIT to see your reaction to the FF13 and vsFF13 trailers. Talk about playing straight to the 14-year-old fangirls. (A prince with black hair, red eyes, sour disposition and is named ‘Noctis’. And apparently will have a romance with a cute blonde girl named ‘Stella’. Both names mean ‘night’ and ‘star’ respectively. Good LORD.)

Well, you gotta admit at least that even if FFX has some character issues (by the way, Auron is still a badass for me, but, yeah, Tidus deserves to die), the developpement team created an original and rich world.

No, for me the true ennemies in the FF saga are FFV (neither the heroes nor the bad guys are interesting in any way), FFVII (I HATE absolutely everything in this game : incoherent universe, characters… And of course the hideous exploitation Square has done with all the “Compilation of FFVII” thingie) and FFXII (Two words : interestless hero). I don’t dislike FFVIII so bad (yeah, it’s full of stupid things – I can’t wait for your reaction when you’ll rant about the fact that, lost in space and with only a supply of 1 minute of oxygen, EmoGit and A Whore discover a FUCKING HI-TECH SPACESHIP with oxygen and… Aliens !), but once you’ve started to really exploit the game system, it’s actually very sophisticated…, FFIX is kinda cool to me (I don’t really mind the design, and I’ve stopped considering Kweena a pain in the ass since I’ve discovered a level-upping trick), so is FFX. I can’t really pronounce on FFXI, since I haven’t played it, but, hey, I already hate FFXIII.

Ah yes Sabin and his mighty Suplex. Gods that was so much fun, me and my best friend played through FF 6 together and one of our minigames we created was “Can it be suplexed?”. We must have tried to suplex every mob when we had Sabin available to us. The train is most certainly an awesome suplex but my personal favorite suplex in the game was suplexing Gau when you run into him after the world’s gone kablooie. As annoying and as useless as that bastard was, I wish there was a soul punch option, but the suplex was about as close as one could get. (Dooming him was also hilarious though, and you don’t want to know how much time and MP I wasted to pull that off.)

No that’s fu**ing HARDCORE!!!

That’s what Winston in GhostBusters II should have done instead of just srtanding there.

FF6 had the best characters ever. Sure, I’m biased but then again, what other RPG had characters that can wield chainsaws, Suplex just about anything or summon the Grim Reaper (with the Death spell)? Personally, FF6 is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of FF greatness but FF7 gets points for letting Vincent turn into Rick from the Splatterhouse games in his third limit break.

Don’t forget, afterwards they jump down a waterfall and fight like twenty mermaid-monsters while falling. And they survive without a single injury.

I’m afraid being part of the Final Fantasy series automatically disqualifies you from being considered “the man.”

Man I didn’t know how to use his blitz my first play through, but shit he was so useful when I figured it out.

Hey this would give a great T-shirt :D
A pic of the train being suplexed, underneath: “Chuck Norris can choke on DEEZ NUTS!” or stuff^^

Even if FFX is lacking in challenge and has a whiny protagonist (not really the VA’s fault…he was decent in the TMNT movie), I like it. The “pilgrimage” story is presented pretty well, particularly how most of the game is a linear on-foot trek.

The problem is it’s just too easy. What’s the point of an intricate battle setup which focuses on teamwork and individual skills if you can breeze through the game with no problem?

Did Auron fight one-handed? I saw him holding the sword with one hand, but always took the second one into use right before he stuck an enemy :)

anyway nice little post and that train boss was kinda fun ;D

I guess this wasn’t the EPIC review we are all waiting for? ;)

The fun battles, aeons (Yojimbo FTW), Lulu, Auron, Kimari, and graphics put X over VIII. But yes, many of the characters were just idiots with annoying VAs and the story was a clusterfuck. Blitzball was hit-or-miss.

At least XII had a likable cast outside of Vaan and gave you the option of never having to use him in battle if you didn’t want to. Character designs for the main cast was terrible as ever, though. Plus, you could make the characters adapt whatever weapon or style you wanted without any negative outcome. I might go give everyone guns or bamboo poles, now that I think about it.

Mmm…true he did suplex a train…but I suspect that may be due to the fact that he had just flown into an ADAMANTIUM RAGE the moment before he attacked. Honestly, I like Sabin, but he got fucked up by an octopus, so he loses some respect in my eyes.

Sabin suplexed a train full of dead people off of it’s tracks and then it got back on the tracks and apologized then took him and Cyan to a train station. Now that’s Badassery at work

idk why everyone hates X-2. It was a fun game, kind if mixing the old ATB system with the new games. Though I still prefer the sprite generations over the 3D ones, except for IX, which is the best 3D one by far, and best FF imo.

Well, I’m not going to defend FFX, I’m just going to say any character who is voiced by Bender Bending Rodriguez instantly gets a pass in my book. ;p

On a more serious note, while that’s bad ass, Cecil Harvey has hair like that and he still comes off as more manly than 90% of Final Fantasy main characters. He obviously wins.

o my god, final fantasy 10, what did that game even do right?
it was full 3d? but it had a static camera for the most part, something i rarely forgive games for having.
its battle system? not the worst not the best, but that didn’t stop me from despising it all the same.

probably the worst, THE FUCKING WORST part of the game FOR ME is that STUPID FUCKING LEVELING SYSTEM. i actually hate it more than ANYTHING bad about final fantasy 8. i mean in 8, i can level, and at least have a visual representation that im getting more powerful, but come on, a fucking leveling circle that i can actually fuck u so bad i can probably never recover without grinding for fucking hours, and still not know which way is up?

not only that, but there is something in every rpg i call a brick wall, i have never played an rpg that didn’t have it in some way shape or form. and that is a really hard encounter that servers next to no purpose besides making you grind and extending the length of the game. but in every other rpg i could go online, and see someone tell me, you should get to level XX so it doesn’t hand you your own ass so easily. but 10. no there is no easy way to know just when you are ready to go fight it. i actually think 10-2 is better than 10 in this regard because, while it may suck, its still a better game that 10 is.

the only reason i have 10 is because it was final fantasy and i had just got a ps2. at this time, all i hear some of my friends talk about is final fantasy, so i get it thinking it will be the best game i could get for it. and holy shit, i thought from the second i put it in till the moment i got stuck and gave the fuck up, when is this fucking thing going to pick up and not suck so much ass.

god the painful memories

I enjoyed playing FFX-2 more than FFX – And that is essential for any game. Both games are better than FF8 by far, of course.

The most badass character of any video game HAS to be Caim from Drakengard, though.

Ahhhh Spoony, must I remind you that Tifa spins Ruby weapon around on ONE FINGER, THEN SMASHES HIM INTO THE GROUND on one of her limit breaks? Ruby’s like, twice as big as the train, and she used one finger, not two arms like Sabin?

Why did anyone consider Cyan? He fucking sucks, I don’t care how his move is supposed to be pretty good he takes like 3 minutes to do them, in that time Sabin could probably kill whatever it was singlehandedly. Literally.

Come on, no love for Sabin’s older brother, Edgar? He’s a flippin’ king of castle in the sand that not only can hide itself underground but move underground as well. Not to mention he carries around a chain saw ( with a cute little hockey mask that he wears every once in awhile), a gun THAT SHOOTS ANCHORS, and all sorts of other awesome tools in his bag.

Clearly ladies and gentlemen, the bad ass gene runs in the family.

I’d suplex a train too if it hit me with an evil toot!

There are badasses all over Final Fantasy 6. Remember that if Sabin can suplex a train, then so can Gogo, who can use all of Sabin’s moves. You’ve got Cyan, Edgar (deceptive badass and ladies’ man), Shadow (a fucking ninja), and Setzer (a man who kills people with PLAYING CARDS and DICE!!). Oh, and let’s not forget the uber damage Terra and Celes are capable of, if you’re of the feminist set.

The point is, Final Fantasy 6 is in general bad-ass…and only a group of bad-ass heroes is capable of taking down one of the best all-time villains in the series, Kefka. Basically it’s the last really good Final Fantasy (though I did like 7, 9 and even admittedly 10, none of them were anywhere close) and the last great Square RPG other than Chrono Trigger, in my opinion.

if he really wanted to win me over he would have gutted that grinning little blond punkstain Tidus within five minutes of meeting him

Oh God.

Marry me.

Final Fantasy V kicks so much ass.
and yes i totally agree with Spoony, FFX is the worst of the franchise (that includes X-2)

You know it’s funny that the guy who uploaded this just disabled comments because of your fans spamming the video with overused fads as he said on a forum I go on.

Not saying anything bad or anything, but just letting you know that.

-what about Galuf from FFV, he fights the final boss with 0 HP!

Why would anyone look for signs of manliness in the Final Fantasy series? That’s like panning for gold in a litterbox. Hell, CLOUD is probably in the top 5 biggest badasses of those games, and he dressed up like a girl at one point.

The sappy fangirl in me who reads shoujo manga loves Final Fantasy X because of the ending. The smart kick your ass fangirl in me who reads shounen and seinen manga tells Final Fantasy X to fuck right the hell off xD I need to go play 6 now. It’s the only one in the series besides……..5? I haven’t played? IX is my favorite though, just because it juggles tones of death for every single fucking character and still has romance. Kuja isn’t really scary but I really regard Necron as the final boss, and he scares the shit right out of me.

……..Where was I? Oh yes, Comparing epic shit like 6 to 10 (even from what I’ve only seen) is like….some sort of sin.

HDFIOEANIOAEN FUCKING AWESOME.

FUCKING SUPLEXIN TRAINS AND SHIT GODDAMN.

FFX wasn’t painful to play, it’s fuck easy. Unless you meant it’s painful because most of the characters are stupid as hell, in which case I’d agree. Auron is fucking overrated though.

I don’t know. I don’t see how you can compare to a movie character to a video game character. If the guy was in a movie and carried a train like that then he would be the man. However, I still think that Yor is the man. Come on! You can’t beat killing a giant flying creature and using its wings to beat up cavemen. You can’t beat it!

Hey, Spoony, ever gonna continue that FF VIII series you’ve started? It’s been over 3 months and there’s still no new episode… would love to see more!

It’s a GHOST train not an actual psychical train so it should light as a feather hence way YOR still wins.

Man, look at all these comments defending X.

Clearly, Spoony needs to be forced to play through that game ranting and raving about everything he hates about it. For my amusement. And the wailing and gnashing of teeth that will ensue. Do it for the cynical jerks who like watching other people get angry, please?

*blinks* Okay, that was unexpected. Strangely, I find paragliding into a cave using a bat corpse more impressive :) Yor is still the man.

Sabin Figaro, He’s the Man! Sabin! Trained in a mountain pass, doesn’t get opera. His brother’s a lothario, he fights with dragon fangs. Sabin’s going to make those magitek look lame tonight! Sabin Figaro!(Poor attempt at a Yor’s theme parody)

…actually SELPHIE&ZELL are the greatest characters EVAR! ;D

Hey Spoony, great to see you back up and running. Yah, that is pretty bad ass but Final Fantasy sucks ass, sucks ass from a straw. You know, your the first one who has the stones to say it sucks and appreciate that! It needs to be said.

Wesker’s more badass.

Sorry.

I call bullshit on this one. Nothing from Final Fantasy can ever be declared awesome because they do stuff like that all the time. Punching the devil, wielding swords the size of a grown man, stuff like that.

FFVI is still a great game, full of nostalgic goodness. FFVII was the pinnacle of the series (although I absolutely detest any of the so-called sequels and spin-offs spawned from it). FFVIII deserves the merciless beating Spoony’s giving it. FFIX was a passable game – at least the dialogue seemed more streamlined and Westernized. FFX was a painful experience, I beat it once and swore to never play it again (my god, I wanted to murder pretty much the entire cast of that game). FFX-2 sealed the deal for me – no more FF games ever again. And to this day, I’ve held to that.

So yeah, pretty much a downhill slide after FFVII, though IX gets a pass.

Cyan may be in the better game, but Auron treats giant monsters like baseballs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ_5gb-PPIQ

P.S. My favorite was using that on the Giant Sandworms and seeing them fly off into the distance.

Gotta go with Barret. Take Mr T and give him a foul mouth, a machine gun for an arm and the ability to summon sattelites out of thin air to rain laser-y death on enemies and you’ve got a pretty good mix.

I see there’s a lot of FF7 hate… I can see why the more I play FF6 (started it a month or two ago), as many parts of the story and gameplay mechanics are very similar between the games… Still, I think people focus too much on the damage it yielded on the Final Fantasy series as a whole (making Square think that stuff like FF8 and 10 were entirely acceptable for example) and forget that the game itself was pretty good… I mean, even if you hate the game, it’s hardly the worst game ever made on gameplay merits.

See, I LOVED FFX. I have the Zanarkand symbol tattooed on my damn arm. The gameplay was excellent, easy to pick up and just fun. The story, my God, am I a sucker for tragedy. Yuna’s pilgrimage, shit, the first time I played through and I realized what she was sacrificing in order to save Spira, KNOWING the consequences going in, watching her get progressively more iron-willed* – the scene where she stands up to Kelk Ronso is magnificent – I mean, who among us would ACTUALLY have the balls to do that for the sake of the entire world, at age 17 no less?

And THAT’S the only thing keeping it from being my favorite installment. It’s YUNA’S GODDAMN STORY. It’s not the wankiest pyrefly’s. Dear God, Tidus. WHY DO YOU EXIST. This whole game is Yuna’s pilgrimage, and you come flailing in with your “I don’t understand”s and your “I hate my Daddy”s and your “BLAH BLAH MY STORY” bullshit and WHAT THE FUCKING BALLS. Tidus is in no way heroic, he should have been no part of this. When you really, really get down to it, you COULD have done FFX without Tidus. You could have done it without Jecht! Instead of the Final Aeon fusing with the chosen Guardian, you could revise it to fusing with the Summoner. SAME EFFECT. And you still could have had all of Yuna’s friends figuring out the alternate way of doing things and whatnot – Auron could have been the “disregard Spira’s teachings” guy, if that’s all they needed from Tidus. Hell, it would have MEANT more coming from Auron, who had been a monk of Yevon and then saw the truth about them!

In conclusion: Tidus = totally superfluous and dear God Y U RUIN FFX 4 ME.

*We don’t talk about X-2, okay?

Yor may no longer be the man, but “Cyan’s world, he’s the man!” just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Hence, YOR IS STILL THE MAN!

meh…. yor’s better

I just wish to point out, sabin also caught a HUGE beam of steel and other stuff when bailing for kefka’s tower THEN THREW IT. Cyan makes a close second however.

Two words on why you hate post-FFVII characters as much as I do: TETSUYA NOMURA.

He’s the guy to be hatin’ on, and single handedly responsible for Final Fantasy’s character effeminism.

Fuckin’ right! I make it a point to Suplex the Ghost Train EVERY time I play FF6. The game just doesn’t feel complete otherwise.

I don’t know, Killer 7′s MASK de Smith pulled off quite a feat during a cut scene someone shoots his face. Instead of just taking it and dying, the Luchador Smith head-butts the fucking thing.

I will not deny that is impressive and quite bad ass, especially for Final Fantasy, but I believe the most bad ass thing I have witnessed in a game has to be a masked Luchador head-butting a bullet that was fired at his face.

LOL it was funny this came out today on the site cause I JUST Beat this section of FFVI this afternoon

holy mother of god! nothing can top that NOTHING! and i dare EVERYONE to try to top that! nothing in the WORLD could top a suplexing a mother fucking train!!!!111!111!!!21@! just fuck man what a find!

0_o that was…something…yeaaahh…

sorry yor is still the man , this dude suplexed a train but Yor wiped out about 5 civilizations , you dont fuck with that

Whoa… I think I jumped in a little late here (unfortunately) but rather than join the “FFVI-X Fanboy Assault”, can I just say something in defense of Yor?
No character in history (except maybe Sephiroth *Cough Mama’s boy cough* excuse me) has their own incredibly kick-ass theme song.
For that matter no character in history has a kick-ass theme song that kicks in while your hang gliding a friggin giant bat into a cave of purple cavemen!
Not to mention how Yor underhanded a flaming sword right in the back of a mummified caveman, and no other character has committed genocide five friggin times while being considered the “hero of the movie”!
And finally, Yor has all the hemp you need… *smirk*
I just don’t know how you can out-do the awesome stupidity that is Yor (Although I will admit that suplexing a train is an interesting thought) and since this is Final Fantasy we’re talking about I suppose I can let your arguement slide but when it comes to Yor… as his theme music states, he is the man.

Wait, what the hell is that in the distance?
It looks like… Oh shi- Incoming FFVII Sephi defenders!
And my god! More defender fanboy’s of FFX!
Run for it Spoony!

Gotta agree with whoever raised the topic of Edgar. Dude was one suave motherfucker. Not only did he mess shit up with his chainsaws, anchor-guns, drills and awesome hair but he also had hoes on tap.

I have to speak out against people who single out Nomura as the one responsible for the Final Fantasy series’ increase in effeminate characters. Yoshitaka Amano, who designed the characters in games 1-6 was just as bad. It’s certainly not that obvious in the finished product, but you just have to take a look at any of his pictures and you’ll be unable to tell who is who and what gender each person is.

Maybe it’s just his tendency to make all characters look like they’re wearing black lipstick.

And no, I’m not dissing Amano’s stuff, I’m just saying that he churned out quite a few effeminate man-child characters himself. Cecil from FFIV, anyone?

I like how you used deez nuts in the end, I’ve been using that name forever. I still think Yor is the man, though, so I must disagree with you

Queen Anthai yeah i gotta agree with you as much as I don’t like X, I would have liked X without Tidus. Shame it’s so much focus on him and his unbarible ways. They could have easily replaced him with another person whose quick, or if put all him into Rikku. And it would have been intresting to see Yuna fight Braska.

It’s such a shame on e of my favorite games (IX) is sandwhich between two games with such fanboys while it is bashed. I have a feeling THAT is what gave us 12

X’s characters sucked, other than Auron that is. FF8′s characters suck, but they fall into a class of their own. If Sabin is a beast for suplexing a train, isn’t Gogo also a beast because he can mimic Sabin and also suplex a train. I love FF6, its the only game where a MOOGLE is stronger than most of the other characters. Oh, and theres a Yeti (yes, I’m aware the Umaro is horrible).

Sabin could take out a thousand Yors all armed with uzis and hand grenades while he had one hand tied behind his back.

Apparently, the very things that make FFX and X-2 likable for me made everyone else detest them (some even turning away from the franchise completely). I’m not trying to start an argument here, but I liked the Sphere Grid system from X (as you could potentially have ANY character have elements from/be just about any class you wanted if you were willing to put in the time and effort), and I thought the Garment Grid in X-2, while obviously meant for fanservice, as well, was a good way to add a mid-battle job/class-changing system. It helped to balance out the fact that you only had three playable characters. I agree that Tidus was kind of an effeminate emo-whiner, but it’s really easy to overlook most of the time. I found the characters of X to be well-thought-out and quite suited to the world they lived in (case in point: why they had to keep the fact that Yuna and Rikku were cousins a secret). X-2 basically answers “What happens next?”. Without Sin around anymore, thing were more relaxed. Yuna developed a more adventurous spirit (probably rubbed off from Tidus, though a case could be made that Rikku got her into it, as well) and got into treasure hunting with Rikku and the new character, Paine, which eventually got then wrapped up in a thousand-year-old revenge scheme. Yes, the plots of both games were somewhat flimsy, but, in my own opinion, that’s true for most games regardless of series or genre. That said, however, I still found it interesting to watch their stories unfold and see the characters and world develop as things went on. (Kind of like with “Wild Arms 3″, but I get bashed for liking that one, too.)

Barrett is more manlier than either of them! He has a God damned hand cannon that can build up enough energy to create a crater!

Anyone else think that “Crazy Train” should be playing during this fight?

HA, he finds this to be cool, but spoofs the illogic of FF8?

Because FF8′s logic is that emo spunky, preteen girls can save the world. Gunblades? A future where no one uses guns that can shoot at the speed of sound? A big guy who uses a boat anchor to fight…..? A roving gang of giant caterpillars? Spoonyone’s ff8 reviews should show you theres a shit load of illogic in ff8 compared to ff6. A monk/martial artist who trained for many years and can lift a train is illogical yes…. BUT IS FREAKING AWESOME. Gunblades are illogical yes…..but are not freaking awesome…at all….as spoony explained

I know they call it a suplex, but it’s more of a powerbomb, really.

I have been reading the rants of the O’ Spoony One for quite sometime but when I read that “Yor” was no longer than man and had been beat out but some computer animated chumps, I HAD to end my silence and speak on behalf of Yor.

Yor is the man. There are none greater than the mighty Yor. Suplex a train? Yor can could suplex a train and not only could he suplex it, it would have been used as an instrument of some small civilizations doom and not simply to escape being crushed by it like some cowardly anime character.

Yor is the man.

y’know, the only final fantasy games i’ve ever played were 1 and 2 and they seem to be better than the later ones like 7,8, and 10 from what i’ve seen.

maybe they should have done what the title of the first one said and made it FINAL

Don’t forget about Kefka. He’s like Heath Ledger with cosmic powers. The dude destroys the world halfway through FF6 and then destroys remaining villages and towns with his Light of Judgment out of sheer boredom.

SUPLEX!!!!!
I love FF6, and Sabin just kicked ass with his abilities! XD
This reminds me of the good days when Squaresoft made fun games.
SaGa Frontier has some crazy fun on it too!!
On FFX they started to cool down though…

P.S. FF5 was good the first half, but the second half IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Spoony! “Yor is no longer the man” blog or whatever made me laugh so hard! And you never fail to make me laugh I love your stuff. :) But getting to the games…
I must say FFX was FAR from the best game in the world but I HAVE to say that FFX-2 SUCKS WAAAAY MORE!!! I HATE FFX-2 with a PASSION!!! I mean, okay let me go back to FFX. You say you want to kill Wakka and Tidus right? No man. I want to kill Hedy Burress’ F***ing voice acting career! I HATED how she voiced Yuna in FFX and X-2, like I cannot describe the hate I feel in my heart but I kinda want to kill the careers of the retards who made up the characters too. But I guess it kinda depends how you look at it.
Okay, I am a straight female so FFX-2 fan service or may I say this kind of “censored porn” video game did not work for me LOL. Like for the guys, they play the game and see hot female characters with barely anything on and I guess they kinda get something out of it… like “rubbing one out.” But now I’m getting kinda raunchy. Personally, I think FFX-2 is a VERY bad rip-off of Charlie’s angels and Sailor moon combined and put into a video game.
Also, I do not understand how Yuna and Rikku went from http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii101/goddess_viet/yuna.jpg
http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss314/RukiTemaFan22/Final%20Fantasy/Rikku19.jpg
to barely having any clothes on!
http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/kakashiwolf/Rikku.jpg
http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/cloudvaan/ff9/final%20fantasyx2/ffx2-14.jpg
I mean Rikku in FFX already barely had clothes on, so why take more off?! What were the creators thinking! “Hmmmm… we need people to buy our billion ton rat shit so that means we need to take something off to make our billion ton to 999,999,999 ton of rat shit! I know! Let’s take off the girls’ clothing and add another female character named Paine for the hardcore bondage freak! That will get sales for SURE! :D”

But, thats enough of me bitching about FFX-2 because I have a SURPRISE for you! I remember in your FFVII video you mentioned about the one quest where you had to dress up Cloud as a woman and apparently he made a HOT woman LOL. I had a hard time imagining it too, until I saw THIS!

If you can’t see that picture, here is the link. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e261/terranz22/cloudia.jpg
In the future I would love to see you make a video about you talking about how bad FFX-2 is when you get the equipment to make it easier for you to make videos with FFX-2. Keep up the fantastic work!
Candace Reilly (youtube.com/firewhite24)

What do you get for suplexing a ghost train? Apparently, just one tent. Never mind that a character physically pile-drived a phantom train into the ground… the defeated train then gave away a tent as his reward. You’ve gotta love FF sometimes.

>>Kind of like with “Wild Arms 3″, but I get bashed for liking that one, too.

WA3 is one of the best JRPGs I ever played. You heard me.
In b4 shitstorm.

I don’t want to spoil the fun people, but if we look at it, how much does a GHOST train really weight? does it have any mass at all?

questions questions…

Yes indeed! Sabin is the most badass character of the Final Fantasy series. They should just make a game where Sabin goes around and kicks the living shit out of everyone and everything including innocent townsfolk, women, and children. As for the other FF series after VII, I you don’t like the Zelda series spoony but I sure am glad as hell that I stuck with them instead of the aforementioned FF games.

That guy is un-f**ing beliebable!!!!

You think that’s manly?!

Then you’re going to kill over when you see this picture:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=41792916&l=e494761741&id=16803987

Whoa now…I like me some good FF discussions. FF7 had way too many plot holes, though it did have an interesting set of characters. Though, I found it hilarious that both Cait Sith and Yuffie were two of the most useless characters.FF8 is probably the most drawn out RPG I’ve ever laid my worn out hands on. No amount of agony can compare to beating FF8 after hundreds of hours poured into it, only for your playstation to no longer read the disc as Ultimecia fell to the ground. I actually loved FF9, well…aside from the large heads. It’s story was a little weak but it least it had some of the more memorable characters such as Vivi and Rusty. Actually, I take that back. Having Tidus as a main character for FFX is worse than having your FF8 disc crap out on you. Sorry guys, FFX had it’s good times but everytime Tidus opened his mouth, I died a little inside. Don’t even get me started on FFX-2! *Screams in frustration.* I mean, for fucks sake guys…you need nearly 100% of the game beaten to get the real ending…which was less than five minutes of pure bullshit. After which, I then decided to spend an entire day of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which actually made me feel better about my life.

ANYWHO, I suppose my rant is over. All in all, if you can suplex a train and KO it in one hit, you are the man! (Also, this wasn’t posted so I could make anyone mad, just stating my opinion. Though, one thing will never change….Final Fantasy 8 is an abortion. Shame on you all for beggin Spoony to continue like that! God forbid the poor guy ends up checking himself in an insane asylum. Spoony, your videos are great but don’t over do it buddy! FF8 isn’t the way to go! Now FFX-2…that would be great.)

i have to remind you that Yor wiped out 5 civilizations and smoked tons of hemp before they were through
its very hard to fight if youve beeen smoking so much weed

Love Cyan, but in fight’s he’s pretty much canon-fodder.

I’d add Guts from Berserk to the list of bad ass men. He is all that is man.

I think Spoony should take a page from Yahtzees playbook, man up, and just admit that JRPGs aren’t his thing and MOVE THE FUCK ON.

6, while having a strong story, had really broken gameplay. 7 had a good story(well, kinda, you have to concentrate on the fact that its intended focus is the relationship between Seph and Cloud, which gets really mucked up in execution) and some of the best gameplay before or since.

8 was… strange. Yeah, the presented story was stupid, but a bit of effort reveals an actual interesting time travel plot. The gameplay was a min/maxers wet dream, but was a real pain for normal players.

9 wasn’t bad, but nothing really special.

X was pretty, had a fun battle system, but yeah, suffered from some bad VA, but the underlying story was interesting.

Ugh, X-2 creates cognitive dissonance. I LOVE all things Job System related, but this one strained that love. Game play was pretty good, but VERY easy and VERY abusable.

12? I still haven’t finished it. I think I got mad when I found out I had flubbed my chance to get some weapon by opening a random treasure chest. That’s honestly my worst gripe on the RPG genre as a whole right now, western or Japanese. The reliance on published strat guides. Honestly, if Square hadn’t told us about it, would ANYONE have thought to go through the game opening no treasure chests and happened on the Zodiak?

As impressive as that is, Yor will always be the man!

And before someone calls me a fanboy defender, I’m no FF fanboy. I hang with my homies Wild A.R.M.S. and Star Ocean.

Oh god yes. FFX was the WORST… The absolute WORST (officially numbered) Final Fantasy game EVER.

Was there anything about FFX that I liked? More accurately, was there anything about FFX that I did not absolutely fucking hate to hell and back? Nope.

The characters were unbelievably stupid and I was in a constant state of wanting to see them all die, horrible, painful deaths. Every moment in FFX was unbelievably retarded. I’m talking retardation of unimaginable proportions. I even fucking hated Auron. He was just a walking cliche of every “badass” trait that somehow managed to combine to make him ridiculously lame on top of just being an unlikable, non-noteworthy, contemptible, and boring asshole that you don’t care about. And he was the best character in the whole game, which tells you a lot.

But more than that, the gameplay. Oh lord. Despite the characters, situation, plot, and overall story being 36 assorted flavors of suck, served in an asscone, and squished right into one’s face, this game had the ABSOUTELY WORST concept imaginable.

Take away all semblance of freedom, lock it into more worthless cutscenes per minute than all of the Metal Gear Solid games combined, and take literally everythin else in the game and LOCK IT OFF to the point where you can’t even explore or go anywhere but what is fucking dictated to you, 5 fucking steps in front of you, CONSTANTLY.

Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration, but not by much. The point is that Final Fantasy X basically says “To hell with giving you freedom to play the actual fucking game, welcome to Final Fantasy: Shitty Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Edition!”

It’s always “go over there and make a cutscene happen.” or “Get up there, and trigger a boss fight” and of course, “Head that direction and go to the next useless, boring, locked off, repetitious, part of this miserable game! Have fun being herded around constantly like a mentally atrophied sheep! Mwahaha! Final Fantasy X, bitches!

And for what? To get more miserably animated, poorly conceived cutscenes with godawful acting, which barely even culminate in anything, EVER, that makes you embarassed to play the piece of shit with anyone else in the room?

That’s so worth being herded around like a stupid sheep, in this miserable, locked off, game, with no freedom, no fun in the gameplay, and tedious monotony multipled by ten billion. Afwful acted cutscene upon cutscene with an inspid, borderline nonsensical story, a ridiculous plot, populated by vapid, mindless, idiot, annoying-as-shit characters who I absoutelyu wanted to just drive them off a fucking cliff into jagged rocks just to end the game.

And honestly, I never got through the game. I stopped playing at about the 70% mark, because the game was too fucking painful, and such a miserable, time wasting, embarrassingly asinine experience to even bother continuing on with anymore, without going completly fucking crazy by how terribly they assraped the Final Fantasy license with, after having actually delivered a good game with part 9. (A.K.A: The last decent Final Fantasy game ever made)

Instead of playing anymore after 70% and just giving the game to a friend (the poor bastard), I looked up the end of the story on Wikipedia or some shit… why, I have no idea, since I didn’t care about the story and thought it was vomit-inducingly wretched. Maybe I was bored out of my mind and decided to have a good laugh as to see how the worst, most poorly conceived plot in FF history decided to end itself.

And of course, the ending sounded like total shit, and a complete insult to my intelligence, without even havin the decency of giving us a final boss that was memorable or made any fucking sense. (It was just Sin, with the laziest and most half-assed plot “twist” ever added to it), and then the tacked on finalle that was so intelligence insulting, it hurt my brain just thinkin abotu how idiotic it might look like. It basically reminded me what a good thing it was that I gave the game away before it completely threw me over the edge into the realm of insanity.

The game was a fucking chore, without the slightest semblance of fun, an idiotic collection of cutscenes starring stupid assholes you want to punch in the face with a 9mm, then fire off at point blank, repetitious dumbshittery, incoherent bullshit, horrendously insediously awful voice AND visual character acting which perfectly kmatched each other’s combined shittiness, absolutely no freedom to do anything in the game that MIGHT be considered exploring, or the least bit fun, just to have one’s own intelligence insulted by the worst, most poorly concieved, asinine, bullshit, pulled-out-of-the-ass story it had ever been my displeasure to see.

The game was the single biggest waste of programming, and shiningly perfect example of abysmal and complete failure that Final Fantasy has EVER suffered.

At least, not until they made a sequel to it. Which was infinitely fucking worse in every same regard as well, but with this embarrassing, teenybobber, pop idol shit thrown in, just to further humiliate everyone into killing themselves before ever trusting the FF license again.

It killed Final Fantasy. FF8 sounded the death knoll, FF9 was a great game that gave us false hope for the future, FFX killed Final Fantasy once and for all, and FFX-2 raped it’s corpse.

And since then, no Final Fantasy game… not that poor-ass everquest rip-off, or the needlessly complicated, boring, un-final fantasy game that followed, has ever been worth a shit. And I’m going to call it now, FF13, for all it’s hype is going to suck balls too. I’m confident that I have a 90% chance of being right, unless Square-Enix pulls a fucking miracle of not sucking, out of their hat. Which… hehehe… isn’t very likely, as history has shown, ever since Final Fantasy went to DVD-rom and beyond.

Holy fucking shit! He suplexed a bastarding train!

OKAY!!! Who would win in an ultimate battle of doom?

Chuck Norris
Sabin
Yor
Dr. Insano
or
Ultimate Warrior.

WHO WOULD WIN THIS MADNESS!!!?

hey I like Tidus and Wakka from Final Fantasy 10

Auron is badass

Sabin just suplexed a train that badass. I think each ff game has their pros and cons. Can we stop debating which one is the best

I just…don’t understand this infatuation with ANY of the Final Fantasy games. They are ALL like VIII, badly written, stupid, poorly designed busy work. None of the story or characters are any good, the gameplay is crap and always has been, and the sound and music are annoying as hell. There is no roleplaying, the stories are convoluted nonsense, and yet they continue to gain such great critical response. It isn’t that Final Fantasy VIII sucks and you suck for liking it, it is that Final Fantasy sucks and you suck for liking it.

You know what’s almsot as funny as fanboys? ANTI-fanboys.

“Balararfgg! I didn’t like tihs and it sucks and if u like it, usuck! I clearly have the maturity of a 4 year old!”

Grow up. If you don’t like a game, sell it back o just don’t play it. Don’t vomit your opinion over the internets and claim it as gospel.

As tough as he may be, you cant have an animated nutter like that against a “real” guy. If you want to see a war between two b-movie lunatics, I recommend you check out Mike Danton from an 80′s movie called Deadly prey. Yor Vs Danton…I can see it now. The destroyer of civilisations Vs Ultimate Warrior’s psychotic twin brother. Sounds like a goddamn monster movie.

I don’t honestly have anything against people who play games I do not enjoy. I was just making a reference to a line by Spoony. Isn’t that kind of the point here? Overdone outrage?

I had to use a gameshark to finish VIII because i somehow managed to put myself in some impossible situation with my last save near the end (don’t remember all the details) plus I just wanted the damn game to end already. As for X i lost interest in the game not even half way in. I traded it in and never had the urge to play it since. I loved VII and IX (so many people hate em and i can’t figure out why) And VI was flat out awsome, I wish they would do a remake of it like they did with IV for the DS.

OK, a sidenote, HC Bailly just got to this scene on his Let’s Play series on YouTube. He’s about the silliest (in a good way), most mild-mannered LPer out there…and when Sabin suplexed that train, it induced him to call Sabin the FUCKING MAN. When you’ve forced a curse word out of HC, you know you’ve done something awesome. :-)

Well.. FFX isn’t good.. But Auron is stil the most badass character..

It’s a little tougher to convey that kind of sarcasm with plain text, Zaph.

OK, so I’ve been playing FFX for the second time (I remembered it being a good game), but I can’t seem to go back to it after 10 hours of play without resorting to heavy drinking (game of choice: drink everytime someone says ‘machina’).

Seriously, you only do 2 things in that game: fight endless, constant random encounters and watch overly-dramatic and sometimes insultingly stupid cutscenes. I would say that nearly 60-70% of the game is cutscenes. This is compounded on by having to manually level up your character and being forced to play Blitzball.

Aw, no love for bat hang gliders? D:

All I’m gonna say is an FFX review from Noah would be earthshatterring

Hmmm…

I gotta say, i have to wonder if spoony has ever seen the EPIC FALCON PAUNCH.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw

Bats? Trains? Fuck that, he punches a whule solar system out of existance.

DAMN some people on here hate FFX…..I can see where they’re all coming from in some cases; I believe I mentioned the bad dubs in a previous comment. But I’m scratching my head trying to sort out why they hate the characters or plot so much. I liked the “Star Wars”-ish feel I got from some elements of X; X-2, while not reminiscent of any plot I can recall seeing before, I still found to be a good story. Maybe I’m just an easy gamer to please as long as the story and characters are agreeable to me; I dunno. That may be why I’m having such trouble getting through FFVII – I have yet to find a single character that I feel I can like (and I do NOT understand the Sephiroth worship AT ALL). But that’s why they make different games – to appeal to a wide variety of gamers. And if there’s one thing I can say about the FF series, it embodies this perfectly. With each game (save for X-2) being set in a completely different world than the others with a different story/characters/etc, there’s BOUND to be at least ONE out there for any RPG gamer. For me, it’s X and X-2. For others, it’s 7. Still others hold 8 as the greatest of them all. And then there are those who liked only the first and nothing after it. The list goes on and on, but no-one I have talked to has liked EVERY Final Fantasy game. I’ve yet to find someone who liked more than three of them. When the series changes with every single entry, it’s just par for the course. (This is personified in a pair of Japanese television franchises known as “Super Sentai” and “Kamen Rider”; the characters, villains, overall story and such change every year, and I do not know of anyone who’s consistently liked every one of either of those, either.) Basically, I guess I’m trying to say it’s nothing to fight about. (I don’t understand why gamers feel they have to bash/defend games/consoles/companies anyway.)

frankly, anyone who says ffx sucked and takes the time to write a novel probably just sucked at the game anyways. spoony and everyone else, why the fuck to you even care about who is better than who? they are fictional characters for fuck’s sake.

I didn’t think the dubs in FFX were that bad. I’ve seen worse, a LOT worse. Believe it! :(

I’ve yet to find someone who liked more than three of them.

Hey, Kamen Rider?

VIII (OH GOD I AM GOING TO GET MASSACRED), X, XII, IX, VI, IV, III and I. In that order. :)

I’ve played all of them save for XI because I have an extreme MMO hatred, but II was…oh Lord, that leveling system…V wasn’t bad per se, just a bit dull, and I have never really, really enjoyed VII and have no idea why everyone furiously masturbates over that game.

Again, we don’t talk about X-2.

“I have to speak out against people who single out Nomura as the one responsible for the Final Fantasy series’ increase in effeminate characters. Yoshitaka Amano, who designed the characters in games 1-6 was just as bad. It’s certainly not that obvious in the finished product, but you just have to take a look at any of his pictures and you’ll be unable to tell who is who and what gender each person is.”

While I’d agree his works might not consist of anything but skinny albino people, I prefer his “abstract” style more to Nomura’s stereotypical anime-ish approach to his characters, not to mention the ridiculous ways he dresses each of his characters. It reflects much of the (bad) influences he picked up from Japanese pop-culture. Let’s not forget that at least Amano made characters that had distinguishable genders (with the exception of Gogo for obvious reasons) while Nomura constantly strayed to make sure they remain as androgynous as possible.

In reality, there is no such category as “JRPG” or “WRPG”. Back then, we used to categorize things as “console” or “computer RPG” based on the way they played and their streamlined interfaces. And even PC RPGs have forced to streamline their interfaces to keep upwith the console crowd.

Now people are so stuck-up over contemporary Nomura-influenced RPGs because of all that ridiculousness introduced in FFVII. Tetsuya Nomura put the “J” in you so-called “JRPG”.

(And don’t you dare tell me FFVII’s gameplay is better than VI.)

Hey – it don’t bother me none. All I said was I had *yet* to meet someone who liked more than three. Didn’t say it wouldn’t ever happen.

Am I the only one that know Sabin’s full name? (Sabin Rene Figaro, also Edgard is Edgard Roni Figaro.)
He’s also know has Mr.Thou :3

But I think Umaro is manlier. F’king yeti! And Gau too; he frigging fuse with ennemi until they’re dead and learn they’re move, how cool is that?

This guy, is un-FUCKING-believable!

Someone had to do it.

Yor’s World he’s the man!! Yor’s World he’s the Man!!! Yor’s world…. Yor’s World… GO Funkadelak Bass solo!!!!

…Sabin is the greatest FF character. though, I have to say that Haseo from .hack//gu (and it’s anime, Roots) is just more badass.

Stay with me a second.

See, even though Haseo’s a bit of an emo, whiny bitch, he. Kicks. Ass. throughout roots, he’s just under the leadership of Ovan, which is fine…then Ovan disappears. Guild pretty much splits up. He continues to search for the item of interest and his missing leader.

Durring this time, he does a quest that NOBODY AT HIS LEVEL COULD DO. The Forest of Pain is 100levels of nonstop kickassery, and he does it as a first level Black Rogue and probably only about lvl30. it took 1 of the 3 emperors to get through that shit, and he’s probably maxed at the time. What does he get? A FUCKING SWORD-GUN (FF8 fail anyone?). What does Haseo get? AUTO PASS TO THIRD LEVEL ROGUE AND THE TITLE OF TERROR OF DEATH WHEN HE GOES AROUND KILLING EVERY PLAYER KILLER HE SEES TO FIND THE KILLER OF HIS GIRLFRIEND (Or…would-be girlfriend…). Yeah, he went pretty fucking psycho.

When he DOES find her ‘killer.’ he gets his ass handed to him by an attack that has been sending people into COMAS. What happens to Haseo? He gets sent back to a first level rogue, loses all his other levels and equipment, and then proceeds to get his ass back up and KEEP FIGHTING. The ‘killer’ runs away and Haseo gets pissed and leaves. Does this stop him? NO. He picks himself off the ground, levels up AGAIN, and finds the killer AGAIN, and kicks his ever lovin’ ass to hell.

Then, it turns out (spoiler) so he has to find him and kill HIM. After that, he survives an attack that RESETS THE ENTIRE INTERNET…wait, now that I’m thinking about it…

FUCKING OVAN IS THE MAN. He reset the internet for fuck’s sake! How awesome is that shit?

Also, before I forget again, FF10 is a shitstain that just won’t go away with bleach, soap, and water. the only redeeming factor was indeed Auron. he’s simply badass…just…had a bad game and supporting cast.

FF7 disappointed me. FF8 sucks. FF9 I beat but honestly I cannot remember anything about it. I played a little of FFX but boredom has prevented me from getting very far.

The real question is not which of FF6 – FF10 is the best FF game. The question is, is the best FF game FF6 or FF4? Btw, I loved the 3d remake of FF4.

The series definitely went downhill starting with FF7.

^Haseo?

Anything remotely cool he might’ve done is completely nullified by the apeshit ridiculous outfit he wears. Well, that and his whiny emofaggotry. You want to talk BELTANZIPPER? This guy beats even The Queen of Belts, Lulu (jesus christ):

Yeah I remember that fondly. Big lols as a kid when I did that as a joke and it worked.

It’s still impressive to this day.

There is no bestiary in the Final Fantasy VI strategy guide… only a list of creatures that Sabin has allowed to live.

Sabin didn’t give up the crown of Figaro, the crown was afraid to be in the same room as him.

Emperor Geshtal does not rule the world… Sabin does.

Sabin is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

When the Final Fantasy VI was released in France, they surrendered to Sabin.

One million Imperials die every year due to Sabin-related accidents.

Oh… Sephiroth was supposed to be in Final Fantasy 6, but he saw Sabin and decided to wait for the next one.

Skurwielu, chce nowy filmik!

pretty badass..but i think taht a charater from one pece call jesus burges ..atacks throwing houses….thas even more badass…

Okay. I just wanted to wish Spoony a quick recovery from his injury, and I hope you are at least somewhat comfortable. I always love the videos, but please hold off on “pulling another E.T.”. We can wait for a video, no need for you to work in agony.

Everyone saying that FFX and X-2 are the worst FF games have obviously not played the original.

The worst FF game IMO is FF12.

I hate that battle system is no much more than FF8′s.

I’ve been saying that about Sabin for years. Easily the most bad ass Final Fantasy character ever and without a doubt my favorite. Glad to see someone actually remembers that he lifts a freaking house. Most of the time people just ignore that. How? I have no idea but no one seems to ever remember it.

I remember Sabin saved my ass on many occasions with his blitzes. I always have him and Edgar in my party. If only Phantom Rush was a multi-target blitz.

Geez! He picked up a train! Regardless Yor is alooooooooooooooooooooooooot stronger than that man. Id like to see a face off Yor vs. That-Cyan-Guy.
As for FFX that games a stupid piece of shit. The story is idiotic, and that fucking asshole, cunt, pussy homo, faggot, crybaby Tidus really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really really, really NEEDS TO DIE! As for Auron hes a retard, he tries acting so badass it turns around, and goes behind him and kicks him in the ass.

Also seeing a few comments in here that made me want to punch myself, FF10 did not kill final fantasy. FF10 was a relatively decent game, plus or minus a few things. I want to point out that most of what people find wrong with the game is stuff that you could find wrong in other FF games given about 15 minutes for me to think about it.

Now, for anyone who didn’t know, the real problem with FF actually did come with FF9. 3 major issues really. Who the hell was Necron, what the HELL was that ending, and why in gods name did you learn skills from your armor and weapons? Don’t get me wrong, I like the game, but those 3 things sucker punched FF into the abyss.

Something just occurred to me.

Yor’s the Man Now Dog!

Lol I bet there are some cos players on this website

“Why would anyone look for signs of manliness in the Final Fantasy series? That’s like panning for gold in a litterbox. Hell, CLOUD is probably in the top 5 biggest badasses of those games, and he dressed up like a girl at one point.”

Know how I can tell you started playing the series with VII?

Spoony you gotta review FFX after 8 man that would be so funny!

Spoony, it’d better be the epic review you’re working on that doesn’t give you time for updates or else we’re all going to PUNCH you in the SOUL !

The guy has health problems and all you fucktards care about is your free entertainment :/

health problems?

Will you guys shut the fuck up and let him work at his own pace? Goddamn ingrates.

Spoony has health problems? i had no idea!

OK guys, I think we’ve exhausted the ‘he’s un-fucking believable’ joke, and it wasn’t that funny in the first place.

Can we please move on to some more jokes?

Sabin is *THE* *MAN*

That is all.

Sabin is the best, one of my favourite character from the game. I never used Cyan, I don’t know why is he supposed to be badass. Anyway, to prove that Sabin is the man, I quote from him:
“You think a minor thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?”

I just hope that hate doesn’t extend to Final Fantasy VI. That’s the best of them all, I feel and I’m sure most sane people would agree.

Auron and Sabin are damned manly, but neither are as ballsy as Wakka. I mean, come on, when Wakka sees ‘the ultimate evil’ what does he do? HE THROWS A BEACHBALL AT IT! I mean, that’s like going to a hard-nose biker bar and throwing a rubber duck at someone.

But as far as the most badass Final Fantasy character, it goes to Barret. When you take Mr T and attach a friggin’ mini-gun on his arm, even Chuck Norris feels ‘inadequate’. Suplex a train, nothing. A FF character that looks, talks, and acts like Mr T would just turn to DoomTrain and say, “Quit clownin’, foo!” and DoomTrain would be like “… Okay, we’ll call it a draw.”

But seriously, FF6 is still the best FF of all time. If Square-Enix is going to keep remaking FF games, they need to get on FF6.

I hope I will suplex a train one day…

There is only one single thing I can think of which really comes close to suplexing a train.

Ace Rimmer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXYfnWRp1Q0

To summarise, he leapt out of an exploding airplane while using an alligator as a skyboard. Then manages to avoid a freefalling Nazi’s attempts to shoot him, guides said alligator into the Nazi, steals his parachute and lets both Nazi and alligator drop to the Earth. And only then commences on his daring rescue of a Princess from a firing squad.

What. A. Guy.

Hahaha, I thought it was crazy enough to suplex a giant dragon in Bayanetta or elbow dropping tanks in Prototype was crazy enoughI I forgot about FF6!

Well, atleast ffx was better than THE THING, and yes I was enough of a masochist to play through that pos. At any rate, yay for multiple crashes on my comp and being outdated I can’t watch the movie :*(

I wish I had seen this awhile ago. It is true that Final Fantasy VIII and X both suck ass, but I still hold true to Final Fantasy VI is the greatest fucking game EVER made. Also, Sabin Figaro is the manliest motherfucker to ever walk the….ummm….we’ll call it earth. He also has the greatest line in the entire game, a line that proves his nuts to be the size of grapefruits: “What? Did you think a little thing like the end of the world was gonna do me in?”

lol, I rather liked 10 actually, but I’d still love to see you tear it a new asshole. :3

Kill a giant bat and hang-glide it into a cave to deliver a missle dropkick to cavemen? Pfft. That’s nothing. Suplex a train? f**k that sh*t. You wanna know tough? You wanna know balls? You wanna know insanity with no bounds? DO a back-to-back 72 hour game session full completeing FFX-2. Yeah. That’s right. You read it. FFX-2. A game so terrible, they didn’t even bother giving it a real name. A game so terrible it’s considered the WORST f***king RPG (which says ALOT) ever to be produced. And I f**king survived with my brain (more or less) intact. Let’s see somebody do better then THAT shit. Somebody please roll “Princes of the Unvierse” by Queen, because after that sh*t, I am immortal.
