great vid and 1st

*GASP*

!!!!

AAAAAAH!

OMG OMG OMG

Finally! WTG Spoony, you’re amazing!

Wow…just….WOW!!!!

Awesome conclusion for an awesome review. Thank you Spoony, you rock.

Fantastic! Can’t believe it’s actually over, though :(

The moment we’ve all been waiting for!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for!

Also, lol @ john. idiot.

Damn guess doing the whole game was too much for Spoony but hey it was great while it lasted. I’d love to see him bust out FFX but he’d probably kill himself. Cheers!

Love the FF Dolls in the back (or figurines/action figures). Great vid Spoony. Goddamn.

I want one of those Spoony shirts lol

EPIC.

A great ending to the whole review. I hope you come back to life soon. :P

EPIC.

That was freaking epic. Loved the Star Trek III bit. Well worth the wait.
How do you feel now that it is all over?

If my music tastes determine my manliness…. I am a pussy……

Great conclusion. The only thing I think ya missed was the utter absurdity of Seifer somehow being capable of KILLING ODIN IN A SINGLE HIT despite being totally useless for the entire game…

But definitely a fun video, and a great end to the series. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the Experiment.

Amazing video well worth the wait great job Spoony

Holy shit, finally!

Holy shit, finally!

Excellent job as usual. I would like to see what new things you have in store. Maybe you could sell those T-shirts you make, you’re in my way sir or I heard that Curtis are some of my favorites.

I had a terrible fit of the teen girl giggles when I saw you dressed as Squall. I think my boyfriend is jealous now. Great ending to a great review. Can’t wait to see more.

lol nice back-to-back Overdrawn at the Memory Bank and Army of Darkness alternate ending references. Spoony Rules!!!!!!

if you really make a video about franken-spoony with Linkara you may well trump even this glorious and epic conclusion to ff8 with its awesomeness. This and the rest of the ff8 review are your masterpiece. Don’t let it stay that way. Bring us more Spoony and thanks for the update

epic…………..just……….(weeps openly)

It…was…beautiful…

No, not the song. That was saccharine drivel. I mean the video. I laughed out loud multiple times, and sat through everything but the credits without the desire to flip to another of my open web sites. It IS a bit sad to see the hilarity (of the FFVIII series) end, but without question it was a fitting conclusion. And worth the wait. Congratulations on your new magnum opus.

Also, condolences for having to sit through it all. The game does, indeed, seem like crap of the highest order.

This is my first comment…Spoony i have watched all your reviews…and this is was the most EPIC conclusion to the review that i could ever have seen! Now I can’t wait for Linkara to bring you back. This is just getting more epic.

That was…interesting.

That was…interesting.

WoW this series is going to go down next to Phantasmagoria 2 as your masterpieces

“I sleept too loooong” haha, too easy. but that’s what you get when you drink too many drops.

anyway *whimper* is it over already? awwww, we could have used one or two more, but alas, ’tis was a great run.
now… you’re allowed some time to rest and gather you energies and focus for the next one… because you are going to rip FFX as well, aren’t you?

“She starts speaking in Mortalkombatese.”

I came buckets.

“She starts speaking in Mortalkombatese.”

I came buckets.

Awesome review. Probably your best one yet!

that was so awesome!! now you have to review final fantasy X….right? please please please.

Great review Spoony, surely a worthy conclusion to such an epic review.

Though too bad you didn’t comment on the final scene of the game, which basically creates an entire time paradox.

Nice work there Spoony, too bad you’ve now made me a pussy cause I sat through that song. >:(
Can’t wait for moar!

Great :)

I laughed hard when you came out dressed like Squall. Awesome work! More awesome than usual!

I laughed hard when you came out dressed like Squall. Awesome work! More awesome than usual!

I have walked the plane of existence beginning to end. I have treaded the plain of white standing as a border between existence and nonexistence. And when I transcended into the infinite void that is Oblivion, I saw in the distance universes, and orbs of matter and energy glowing millions of trillions of times as bright as the sun. I saw the universes transcend into dimensions and parallel paths of time. Time and space became simplicities in the wake up dimensions unfathomable by the human mind. I have seen the beginning of all that is and is not, I have seen the end, and everything in between. And I have walked every form of matter that there is and I have felt every force of energy there is to feel.

And then it all wears off, whatever I am on, and I find myself on a couch in the lounge of a four star hotel with a bottle of vodka in my hand, so messed up I can hardly speak. And I look around at all the millions of people commuting the dark, grimy and disgusting streets of New York, the lightshow monstrosities of Las Vegas, the cultural wasteland of Los Angeles and the drug induced hellhole of Miami and realize that none of it matters at all. It’s perplexing that we discovered the very nature of all existence. And in my travels across every dimension I have discovered that existence in this dimension is special for one reason: because there is Life. Life is merely a complexity of matter and energy, and nothing more. It is no force, nor a scientific condition or a spiritual being. It is not being. It is the complexity of matter which gives birth to an individual collection of matter and energy that is freethinking and capable of controlling matter in and around itself. I have walked dimensions far beyond the comprehension of any human and seen other complexities of matter and energy, and not one has been even nearly comparable to the entity of life.

But in the end, you will find that is all we are: matter and energy. There will be nothing when you die. When you die, you will be truly free. There will be no feelings, no senses, nothing. Nothing done to you will mean anything. You will be able to do nothing. You will become one with nonexistence. You will become simply matter; free of all possible cruelty, and then you will be truly one with reality.

I can’t even tell if the game ended conclusively or not. Christ.

I can’t even tell if the game ended conclusively or not. Christ.

So many great, gut-busting moments. You are a master of the medium. Can’t wait for more!

Brilliant.

However, I got to the end of the credits and realized that I’d just sat through “Eyes on Me” all the way through. Do I have to turn in my Man Card now?

I’m not sure what scares me more, the game, or the fact that spoony had to have seen at least some bits of that sex with seifer @_@

ugh you bastard you made me sit through that song.

Pollo : What are you going to do with it?
Linkara (re-edit): What do you think i’m going to do? I’m goin to smoke him!

^^consider it :p

You get your point across so incredibly well, Spoony. Many reviewers fail at trying to convey their thoughts and emotions using those little things called words, but you hit everything right on the head and reminded everyone why you’re one the best guys doing vids out there.

Also I must add this was one of your more creative vids (outside the game review part) you’ve done. Good job.

Agreed on Final Fantasy X. That game makes FFVIII look like friggin Citizen Kane.

Well, awesome as usual.
Had to fast forward the credits, that song makes my brain dissolve. Hope the reanimation goes off without a hitch. We wouldn’t want you to come back with the wrong head or an extra bodypart hanging from your abdomen.

it´s over, finally. spoony has come a long way, compared with his first clips of ffVIII reviews.
the best thing in the game was the spaceship. yeah really, the space programm and the space ship they found beats the whole love story thingy, what is supposed to be the story.

but i can´t help but think that spoony likes FFVIII tough, he is not playing squall, he looks so cute and adorable he is squall! the beginning of an acting career with square enix?
glory to the experiment!

This is the last great review of the 21st century. The chequered destiny of one man who continuously plunges his mighty soul into bad games…

Top shelf editing work mate; time well-spent.

Sounds weird, but after all this stuff. Part of me still wants to play it.

Good end to your FF8 review…and wow what a piece of shit game

That was actually a great endcap. It’s pretty rare that something that lasts as long as these reviews ends well… or even at all. Props to you, Spoony.

This all made me weirdly nostalgic since the first part of this game’s review was my first video of yours I’d ever seen. Excellent, and the work you put into this all shows.

The Squall outfit made me LOL, btw. XD

GREAT AS EVER!! Very very good :D:D

i can’t believe u dress like squall!!!
thats the last thing i thought u would ever do.
because cosplaying suck balls!

LOL. great job as usual

Long live the new flesh.

*jaw drops onto floor* there is not a word to describe how awesome that was

i could wait another month of silence for this epicness!!!
i just wanna cry how great the episode is!

Oh god, not Burton. He was the finest mind of his generation!

That was awesome, great job Spoony!

Nice.

This video is pure awesomeness.

Nice.

This video is pure awesomeness.

Damn, that was an epic conclusion!

Awesome review as always Mr. Spoony. Loved every minute of it, your friggin hilarious man! Now, it could just be me but it looked like at the end The Spoony one might have moved in with a certain Linkara would be some mighty epic stuff

That was some awesome shit right there, well worth the wait! As soon as my employer gets around to actually paying me I’ll be sure to throw some cash your way. :)

If anybody really had the awful experience of paying attention towards the ending. You’ll understand that it’s even more convoluted and utterly stupid the ending to FFVIII really is.

First off. Doc Odine explains that he experimented Ellone when he was working for Adell way back then, and developed a machine that allows people to send their consciousness back in time. AKA the device that allows Ultimecia does this. Now what’s even more ridiculous is that, Laguna didn’t think of this plan. That would require that Laguna has the ability to think beyond his balls. No this horrible plan to destroy Ultimecia is all Odine’s idea. Why? I guess it’s because his dick only responds to whatever machines and devices he’s made.

And because it would be oh too simple to just destroy the machine that Ultimecia is using to send herself back in time. Laguna’s response to the plan by the way was “I have no idea what (Odine) just said, but it sounds great!” ugh…

Ultimecia is probably the most powerful Final Fantasy Villain of all time. Even more so than the fucking ExDeath who was a concentrated black hole in the form of a tree. But she’s so head-numbingly retarded that she can’t even speak properly. Oh there’s that theory that she’s probably has some sort of accent, but here’s the monkey wrench in that theory. Everyone in the world speaks the same fucking language. Oh sure there’s probably regional dialects, but considering you’ve treked the entire world, you notice nobody actually speaks in a way where they replace their c’s with k’s.

I think the theory that she’s just plain retard comes from the fact that when you enter her castle, you can still attack. Has anyone ever thought about this. If she could somehow seal all of your party member’s actions, why oh why can’t she just seal your ability to attack her. I mean I get magic and GFs and any pertaining abilities like Draw, but you can’t use items or limit breaks. Limit breaks which are supposed to be innate traits that pertain solely to each characters. That would mean that’s she herself is retarding you to the point where you can’t do those actions, which again begs the question, why the fuck can you still use your weapons?

Even further, how the fuck did Squall and the others win? It bugs me even to this day. If she can manifest guardian forces from nothing and fuse herself to it. If she can cast magic that shakes the very foundations of reality, how in the name of Jesus Christ did she lose? I mean she’s up against teenagers who wield swords, nunchucks, chakrams and guns (granted Irvine can fire fucking laser beams from his rifle wtf) but seriously, she wields the power of existance itself.

This brings up another ridiculous plot point in where somehow Squall and the other managed to survive the destruction of time and space.

xD Great review. I recognized the “I SLEPT TOO LONG!!!” thing too, Army of Darkness original ending, right?

xD Great review. I recognized the “I SLEPT TOO LONG!!!” thing too, Army of Darkness original ending, right?

Please. people, don’t discuss this shit here. There’s enough of topics like that EVERYWHERE ELSE IN TEH INTERNETZ

HOLY SHIT!

HOLY SHIT!

Anyone else noticed that that protoplaysm(or whatever is left of Spoony) look like cocian? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CocaineHCl.jpg XD Spoony you rock!!! And so does Army of Darkness!

Ha! Coldguy feel asleep!

Pure awesome.

I caught the Army of Darkness reference, but the one just before it went over my head.

I’d definitely like to see you tackle FFX if you can stomach it, though doing it as a single episode might be a little easier :p

Wow, can’t believe it’s over. Part of me feels a lil dead inside. But with death, there is rebirth and blah blah.

Excellent work Spoony. I heart you.

thats a very creepy ending with linkara, but again it is said to see this review end seeing how bad the ending was, Good job Spoony.

I got caught off guard when Squall showed up I was like no it can’t be…

one word

epic

So Insano Spoony had Squall Spoony kill Kind-Of-Sexy Spoony?

*plays the theme from M*A*SH*

Spoonycide is painless…
It brings on many changes…
Thank God that stupid game has been reviewed…

Linkara is going to revive Spoony? thank gawd…..

-He was the finest mind of his generation!-

“His mind, full of…dust bunnies…and pain! Paaaain!”

Anyway…wow, I’ve never laughed this hard at one of your reviews before. I really like Bennett’s cameo in particular. “…! FUCK!” And seeing you walk into the room cosplaying as Squall, I actually couldn’t believe what I was seeing, if I hadn’t of froze up at the sight of it I’d probably have died laughing. I recognized the bit from Star Trek 3, too, that was hilarious.

All in all, I don’t like using the word “epic” lightly, but this was fucking epic. I can’t believe it’s over though, and after just recently discovering this site in the first place.

I somehow saw the Squall part coming and right then I knew you were going to die. The reason is that my ideal ending was having you dressed as Squall killing you so that the review would end and I would have never guessed you would actually do it.

WhiteHowl:

THEY WON BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF LOVE!!!!

BELIEVE IT!

Great work Spoony! Ah, I never even finished this game. It was so…boring. Thank God you didn’t rip on FF9 XD

HA, I never realized that NORG’s pod looked like Archie, now I’ll never look at it the same again. Thanks O’ SpoonyOne!

Wow. I dont think there is a single thing i can comment that would do this video justice. All i can say is that i hope you continue to give me nerdgazms as big as the one you just gave me. Probably the best piece of work that ive seen on the net.

Thank you, Spoony.

Good God man! Why did you play the entire song at the end, I’m a doctor not a pussy!

Good God man! Why did you play the entire song at the end, I’m a doctor not a pussy!

Kinda sad that you had to end it all so early. I liked your multiple FF8 reviews.

BTW, I believe that wasn’t Julia that was with Laguna in the ending scene with the rings and the hugging. I believe it was that bartender girl in that boring town from the flashback with Kiros, Raine something-or-other. But then again, WHO CARES?

Blew my mind.

Loved the review! I personally think he might be moving in with Linkara.

I think it would have been a great story but the potential was really wasted. First of all, people (both the writers and fans) claim that it doesn’t focus on saving the world – that it was about the love story. If that was the case, then WHY IN THE HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK does the love story suck so hard?

I mean, I can accept saving the world with love, friendship, and happiness. I love that cheesy shit. But is this game really trying to convince me to believe in science, the properties of time and space, chaos theory, AND that love conquers all? Pick one or the other, FF8!

I think likes to think they’re unbiased about something, looking at both the good and bad – but one can’t be unbiased about everything. THIS game… is something I am very VERY biased about. It sucks, and the only good thing that ever came out of it was Rinoa and Selphie hentai.

Wait a minute… are those end credits some kind of elaborate trap to make us sit through “Eyes on me” and therefore destroy all of our man cards?

Damn you, doctor Insano!

This was really, really worth the wait. The SFX were all tremendous given the budget, and Linkara guest spots are always a source of joy. Kudos to all involved!

Spoony I must say that was your best video yet and well worth the wait, and I also was one of those people who were disappointed by Final Fantasy 8 so I know where your coming from.

really nice, thank you dude.

Wow… FF8 suck balls. So it’s now a sci-fi story too? What the hell? There’s no build up for this shit, they just made this shit up while making this game!
Nice review Spoony, it was worth of waiting! Keep on going and I hope there’s no more problems with audio/video stuff.

Great finale, a little disappointing you didn’t try to make it 3 different parts but I think that would of been the end of you. You should of shown the 3 end bosses still, one that was a giant GF and the part were you were dressed as Squall was completely awesome and I think you enjoyed doing that. I’m calling foul from you though because you said whoever listened to the “Eyes on me song” was a pussy, although you couldn’t avoid the song if you wanted to read the story and see the ending sequence but you did the same thing with you’re review ending seeing that you put some effort into it so made us all listen to the song to watch the whole thing.

Oh man, this has been great. You even made drawing magic entertaining to watch, Spoony One.

Looking forward to future Spoonified reviews, hoping for FFX or the likes.

Lol, nice review, makes me wanna try out this game even more, though.

I think I nearly exploded…that was awesome!

I had hoped it would be more of an ongoing review, but I can understand you want to get it away to focus on other projects. It was great fun watching you interact with Dr. Insano and you make a pretty good Emogit if nothing else.

Good show!

Superb video editing! Awesome Wrath of Kahn reference! Kick ass ending. Although I have no idea how Linkara plans to bring you back from an overly large booger, but who knows. Aw well, seems that we will just have to start calling it the Bazookoid Experiment until you get back. I mean how much do genesis devices cost?

Army of Dorkness :P

I cried at the end of this video. (I didn’t really)

To quote Chester A. Bum and declare that the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life somehow doesn’t feel adequate… but it’ll have to do, because my mind is still reeling from that experience.

Eh, I enjoyed “Eyes on Me”, probably because I liked the whole Laguna and Julia love story, which is far better than the Squall and Riona BS love story. In fact they should have just focused on Laguna, because he, unlike Squall, has a likable personality. Sure he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least he isn’t the brooding, whiny sap that Squall is. Overall, I didn’t like FFVIII all that much. The soundtrack is great, one of the best in the series, but outside that, there isn’t that much merit to the game. The plot is just stupid and full of BS, the character’s are not likable at all, and the gameplay is tedious, abstract, and broken.

*refuses to hand over my mancard*

Great review although sitting through it and not getting mad at some points was rather hard for one thing your prejudice for people who had a different opinion than you and different personal preferences for music got really old.

Also the bit at the end “It didn’t start getting really bad until Final Fantasy X” uhhh? ok thanks for the opinion I guess I’ll just push that to the back of my mind and remind myself that that’s all it is a close minded unfounded opinion which I have no use for whatsoever.
I guess I just have to remember what that guy from Silent Hill 3 says “It’s just a joke”

And after all the **** about cosplayers in the review of Final Fantasy 7 (Which by the way wasn’t actually started by Final Fantasy 7 as you claimed ever been to a Star Trek convention?) and then you come bursting into the room with that Squall outfit on was the very definition of hypocrisy but “It’s just a joke”
And if you hate Final Fantasy 8 so much why do you have figures of the main cast? “It’s just a joke”

Yeah great review but if I need your opinion on Final Fantasy X in the future I’ll give it to you thank you very much :D

“It’s just a joke”

Ok I usually just keep quiet and just watch your review, so now I’m going to make a review of your… review!

Thanks for bringing me this, I always wanted to know what Final Fantasy 8 was all about. I just couldn’t play it, it haunted my childhood too, lucky for me that I gave up.
When I brought this game I thought it was going to be the best game EVER! I played FF7 and that was one of my favorite games of all time, and this had updated graphics and was the sequel (and at that age I thought ALL sequels were better than the previous) But the battle system just threw me off, all with drawing magic, summons that are soo easy to get, have so much cinematic and still isn’t stronger than a fucking Ice 2 or something in FF7! Also the plot made no sense to me, I was kinda young, but I played trough FF7 and FF6 and they made perfect sense to me! And also it was too much running around, there was no strait line in some cases. So somewhere along the first disc I just said ”Fuck it” and I gave up. So that’s my experience with FF8.
But later on, I always wondered what happened in this game, I played trough nearly all else (5,6 7, 9, 10 and working on 12) So its only natural to wonder.

So again, thanks for bringing these reviews of Final Fantasy 8 that was funny, entertaining and good info!
It feels like we share the same feeling about Final Fantasy 8, so I can’t complain about the thing you brought up really. Anyway the whole review you did was amazing, you can see that you used alot of time into this and the spin offs with Insano and all else its just amazing! And now I really got to know what FF8 was all about, and I still think, its sucks from this point of view, I would give the game a chance if the battle system wasn’t *!@=†§ up.
Another thing, what got you to wear the Squall costume if you hate him so much? That would have burned in my skin!
Anyways, its been a great time watching the reviews of Final Fantasy 8, it feels like its been forever and now its finally comes to an end, and I really hope you will make another very long review that includes all the details and your personal opinions about it, as well as spin offs of course.
A request would be Final Fantasy 12 as for now its re-e-e-e-e-elly boring to play that now, its seems like I’m giving up soon.

Oh man, Spoony, that was brilliant. Final Fantasy VIII got what it deserved. I’m sorry, I can’t believe that the plot could disintegrate into such absolute STUPIDITY! It went from really confusing and quite stupid to jaw-droppingly unbelievable.

And I’m not trying to defend the Final Fantasy franchise here, but I borrowed FFX from a friend and played through at least half, and, well…. I thought it was a pretty good game. I really hate the real-time turn-based fighting in Final Fantasy so the purely turn-based strategy was good imo… however, the plot still made no f**king sense!!!

Uh, could somebody help me out? The movie won’t load for me, even after I updated my drivers and flash.

Yep. If there’s anybody who knows about bringing popular characters back from the dead, its the comic book expert. My man cards are still good even if I sat through the whole song while watching the credits right? … RIGHT!? If not then you are a shrewd trickster, Mr. Antwiler. Shrewd, I say!

Greetings from Germany (yes!)
We love your videos!!!
btw what is the codeword Curtis has to say in Phantasmagoria 2? we listened nearly 20 times but we don’t understand =)

I laughed, I cried, I lost my man cards. Now to watch this again at least two or three times with friends!

Thanks for all the entertainment, I know a lot of people crit the frequency of these reviews but waiting is part of the fun. It’s like a miniature Christmas for every review – waiting for the event, the build-up, the event itself, the aftermath and resultant nuclear fallout, etc. Unlike Christmas, however, Spoony delivers on expectations (and Christmas will never be the same since Warrior had his way with Santa). Here’s hoping Linkara can bring back the Spoony One with the right number of heads and appendages so that he can have a few harsh words with Insano. LONG LIVE THE EXPERIMENT!

Squal scar is on the other side xD

Sorry but ive skiped that PUSSY song at the end =P

Awesome video

…
… im a pussy ._.

*Watches review through to the end and thoroughly enjoys it

*See’s the line “They didn’t even start getting really bad until Final Fantasy X” with no proof whatsoever to back it up.

*Rolls eyes

*Exits out of site

*Removes site from favorites

*Watches Uwe Bolle movie (Anything is better than the soon to be coming “Final Fantasy X review” a.k.a. “Spoonies next mindless fanboy rant”)

*Plays Final Fantasy X just to remember the wonderful storyline, great graphics, return to and actual fantasy setting, wonderful characters, and incredible music. Just to spite all anti Final Fantasy X fanboys who are completely and utterly close minded and don’t deserve my attention in any way whatsoever.

*Tries to see things from an anti Final Fantasy X fanboy’s point of view

*Fails since I can’t stick my head that far up my ass

*Continues playing Final Fantasy X

Spoony Ugh whenever I need to ruin my day I can just come on here and try watching one of his reviews (Or reading them) ¬_¬

One thing occurred to me. Insano said you still live with your parents and after that you blew the house up. Did you just sacrifice them to take out Squall? Man, that’s kind of desperate, don’t you think? :P

That was amazing!

I’ve never tortured my way through the whole game, but I’m glad you did… Yeah… Uh… You know what I mean.

I have to disagree about Final Fantasy X though, I think it’s the best one. You should review that one as well.

That wasn’t Julia at the end! It was Raine! Or else Squall und Rinoa would be siblings. Ew…
However, great Review, Spoony! And I’m looking forward to your next series!

beyond awesome,best review ive ever seen,and an epic end for your final fantasy 8 reviews
all of them were just PERFECT

The hell is an “anti fanboy”, new term coined just now to express fanboys who’s electrons and protons have been meticulously replaced by positrons and antiprotons, and if the two were to collide it would send a blast of photonic gamma radiation?

Definitely a fitting ending to an epic review, and I certainly don’t blame you for packing two and a half discs into 1 review as you hate the game that much.

Almost kind of sad to see it all come to an end as I like many others became fans of your work through your FF8 reviews. It will be nice to see what epic crapsterpiece you tackle next, Final Fantasy X? Final Fantasy X-2? Grandia 3?

On a personal level I feel like it’s almost the end of an era too, as FF8 came out ten years ago and here we are 10 years later.

So THAT’S what the gun-part does! BTW, do you think Linkara will reanimate you using smudge and rat parts? (lol)

Well you held to your word. It was epic.

I knew you’d flip out over NORG. Too bad you didn’t have Odin before you battled Seifer is Lunatic Pandora. Odin, the guy that can kill anything in 1 Hit, would get killed by Seifer, the guy that you defeated a million times.

In other news I really think this should be longer and split into 2 parts. Some thing really deserved more focus, such as the Galbadia – Balamb Battle (They also have zipline commandos :D) and the Final Battle itself. A coment on Omega Weapon maybe? :P And we didn’t get to hear you talk about the ending much in the end…

…but I have to say YOUR ending was freaking EPIC. When Squal came into the picture I completely lost it XD. This if your best Movie/Editing moment hands down! (Too bad you’re dead so you can’t read this…)

Personally I liked 8. It’s not in the top of my FF games list, but it’s way better then 12 <.<
I really think you enjoyed the game a bit more then you decided to show on camera. If you poke fun at everything, and try to explain every little thing and you can make fun of anything. It's was really entertaining nevertheless ;]

Good luck with the whole "being dead" thing ^^

I actually had to stop the video to laugh my ass off after the doujin sperm gurgling joke.

That was totally epic Spoony :D. Least you actually played the game properly, cause I got so sick of drawing magic, I just used Action Replay just so I could see the “amazing” ending that my friend told me about

It wasnt amazing -_-”

What a great conclusion! Now you can finally move on from this (or can ya?) and do something new everytime.

I had me a couple of good laughs through out the video and it really was well put together, really superb stuff.

I wonder what the future holds now… Time will tell ^_^

I played this game till disk 3 and only NOW i see how fucking annyoing it was. Espcially the fucking spaceship and those monsters ahve to fucking kill IN ORDER.
The msot stupid moment i had in the game was BOARDING your spacesip into that fucking overgrown obelisk from 2001: A space odessy.

Now FF9 i played a lot longer and enjoyed it more, but like FF8 it started to get fucking weird at Disk 3 like this piece of shit game.

I wonder how Linkara will bring you back to life, he isn’t that good with SCIENCE, and his MAGIC is only used for shooting his toy gun. Phoenix down maybe?

This is the best thing the internet has ever seen… you just passed porn Spoony… and I mean the lump sum ALL OR PORN …

I’m so happy I still have my Man card after this game… sadly I’ll admit I lost it during Kingdom Hearts… Safe from X and X.5 because I hate Tightass or however that’s spelled.

best of luck with the resurrection.

That was fun.
A satisfying conclusion certainly, though I would have loved to have seen one or two videos first.
Still, good stuff.

Now make more.
DANCE, MONKEY!

Oh My God! This was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life!

There’s this guy called Spoony.. Ok.

Dude, fucking amazing. This is why you surpass even Doug. And you know who Doug I’m talking..

I love you Noah Antwiler.

….. WHAAAAAAA! *actually cries…. at least in letters*

No more FF8 Epicness by the Spoony One? ;_; Oh darnit…. But okay… I guess all good things need to come to an end at some point.

For the review: It was mind bendingly hillarious to the point I really started caughing my lungs up! X3 Damnit, that was good! Soooo needed…. Thanks, Spoony. <3

This is possibly your crowning achievement, Spoony. This review is in my opinion your greatest work as of yet. Bravo good sir. Bravo.

*applauds* So awesome. I laughed so hard I scared the cats off. Really brilliant work! :)

Congratulations on defeating Final Fantasy VIII :D It was a truly brilliant review. Good to know people can no longer hang this over you and request you finish it anymore, for it has been finished and it was a truly epic finish at that :)

I look forward to seeing whatever comes next.

Lmao that was frickin’ hilarious. I nearly lost it when you came dressed in as Squall, I had to pause it because I was laughing so hard. NIce job, Spoony.

It was super epic, but I wish this was in 2 parts cause one felt a little too short.

Well worth the wait, thanks for your hard work Spoony, and all who were involved in the making of.

Couldnt help noticing how long you had grown your hair all the way through and then i noticed what it was for, Spoony Lionheart!

Fan-fucking-tastic. :D

Well if he thought FF8 was bad, he’s see nothing yet when it comes to bad storytelling.

Yes, i am talking about FF10. It takes convoluted plot lines to a whole new level. I hope he reviews it someday.

What can I say. Awesome. FFX next? After all, you need SOMETHING to torture yourself with and to have us fans going WE WANT FFX WE WANT FFX.

Oh and you almost killed me with the Squall cosplay.

I never finished ff8 but this was an awesome review. Haven’t played ffx but if you go forward with a review of that I would be very intrested. Just avoid the blandness that is ffxii. Final Fantasy was best on the snes.

… Awesome. This is just excellent.

damn that was hilarious. no lie, i spat out my soda when i saw you dressed up as squall. it just looks like the stuff you could buy at Atomic Comics or something. awesome. *sighs* the song in this game was annoying yet…i think for mushy love crap the bit with Tidus and Yuna in the water do that cheesy song. guh the romantic in my stupid girl brain loved it. even if the rest of the game was annoying. its a good thing you have connections with linkara otherwise you’d still be a mesh of gray pudding. just make sure he doesnt fuse you with Burton….wait. ROBO SPOONY! fuck yeah!

ok, now we demand FF X!

It will never end! ha ha ha ha!

EPIC ^^!

I didn’t play the game (THANK GOD, JESUS, ALAH, WHO EVER IS UP THERE!) so i don’t know how much was explained but the “destroying time” was really lame… At least if they were so sure that’s what they were going for, they should have made up some reason… You know what here’s a reason what “kinda” (that’s Final Fantasy kinda) makes sense:

She wanted to destroy time so nothing is left but god and she (who some how shielded her self) and then she can defeat god and become the new god.

There! makes sense? No, but if you would wanted it to make sense you shouldn’t have asked about FF. If the title contains the word “fantasy” its more or less a commitment that “we made up a story but the stupid laws of physics didn’t like it”.

On other side: The ship that “happened to be there just in the good secound” was called “Ragnarok”? Thats just a new level of coincidence… A level where on one dared to go before i must add, since “Ragnarok” is the End of the World or Final Battle in Norse mythology.

But anyways: Awesome review, i look forward to the big return.

There’s still one question that remains… What has become of Bruton? Or i could say: What if the little white plasm that contains the SpoonyOne’s DNA is actually belongs to Squall?

That was amazing im starting realy to crying, i can’t belive that was the end. Plz make a review on FF7

Hot damn… How did you get yourself to wear that costume? :P

You’re a credit to your genre. I always thought it strange that I did not remember this game despite having beat it. I figured people were being dramatic when they say they block stuff out, but all of my confused and exasperated memories came back during your reviews. I was forced to acknowledge that there is a part of my life I can’t get back and FF6&9 look even better than I remember by comparison.

Thank you for providing us with entertainment. If nothing else, it was a Hell of a ride.

Loved the review even though plot points were a little mixed. But you missed one crucially balls moment. When the characters travel with Edea to Eshtar, and have another Laguna flash back. Where in Laguna and his friend are locked away as slaves, with the Moomba, and all their weapons and equipment. They then travel the city to find that Odine is doing creepy sorceress experiments on Ellone, and yet in the future he still trusts Odine, and he still fails to kill Adel in the first place. Also what about when Squall walks the train track with a comatose Rinoa, just to meet the rest of his party who drove.

omg that review was awsome your final fantasy reviews are the first vids of yours i ever watched and i was hooked instantly. oh and i agree that song is god awful i like romance but that song aint it “shudder”

This was so awesome I’m lost for words….. Jesus…

This was so awesome I’m lost for words….. Jesus…

Absolutely fantastic! Well done, Spoony!

It’s amazing and inspirational what you can do.

So there are seriously people out there that like this trash? Seroiusly?

SERIOUSLY??!?!?

I can’t imagine there being a more horribly written game in existence. What complete garbage.

Does no one see that Spoony is a huge FF8-Fan?? The figurines in the background and having a Squall-costume is proof enough at least for me ;-)

Spectacular, Noah. The Squall cosplay way brilliant. Can’t wait to see how the next review follows up on this.

And @FinalFantasyFan, if one line about FFX makes you that angry, you really need to re examine your priorities.

Awesome review, I loved the Army of Darkness reference near the end. This was definitely your most professional review.

You know, FinalFantasyFan, he OPENED this whole review saying “They really start getting bad until Final Fantasy X”. It was in Part 1. So, you wasted your time on all the parts of this review only to let the text version at the very end piss you off. If you really gave a rats ass, you’d have been pissed off from the first minute of Part 1. But thats okay, we all know you’re just a troll, as I have proven, WITH SCIENCE!

Spoony, I have to say I’m mixed on this one. It was awesome, and it was epic, but I do wish you hadn’t compressed so much of the game into one review. I think there were certain parts that could have had a little more ranting done, like the whole “We grew up together” segment. Even so, this was incredibly well done, certainly your claim “Something big is coming” did not disappoint. If I could, I would buy you a drink.

I’m curious to see how either you or Linkara follows this up…

My GOD that was EPIC! (and this coming from someone who likes FFVIII)
Amazing stuff and I hope Linkara brings you back to life soon :D

DO FINAL FANTASY X!!!!!!!!!

DO FINAL FANTASY X!!!!!!!!!

Shit. Do I lose my man card for sitting through the song at the end of this vid? I only did it cuz I knew something else Spoony related was going to occur. I’m not a pussy now am I?

BTW, fucking AMAZING to see Burton in action. This is the most epic review of all time.

Damn…there go my man-cards…wait…*fondles boobies* …Er, nevermind. Anyway, Spoony, it all began when I saw this Youtube video of you. And here ends what that video began. I could say so much but really, I just want to say thank you for sticking to this and giving it your all just for our entertainment. Even though it’s over, I’ll always be a fan of the Spoony One!

HOLY POTATO! This was so awesome, most epic review EVAR .
Really this was amazing. So funny and the ending was just sublime. I usually kind of skip trough credits, but this I just had to watch all the way true.
I know you had a lot of trouble with the camera/mic and the site stuff, but DAMN! You really seemed to have put a lot of effort in this review and it was really great. It must have been pretty embarrasing and traumatising for you to dress up as Squall, wasn’t it?
Anyway thanks for the awesome reviews and you deserve all the donations you get.
*applauds*

Can’t wait to see how the resurrected Spoony will turn out.
Good luck!

Oh great … now i’m a freaking pussy too … thanks spoony !!!!

I kept my man cards intact by muting the end credits ;)

I normally hate the Dr Insano bit, but I have to admit this review was pretty awesome regardless. Well done!

Awesome. In fact, I think I’ll watch it again.

I honestly don’t think FFX was THAT bad, especially compared to FFVIII. It certainly wasn’t great, but if they were to rerelease the game with completely redone voice acting, it may actually have been quite enjoyable.

I’m still looking forward to the potential for you to rip it apart, seeing as I’m not a gimpy little bitch who cries when something I like is insulted.

That was epic! I have to watch that again.

Thanks Spoony, that was great.

Absolutely brilliant review , loved it.

…does anyone think Noah finally moved out? Not that it matters, the man is a freakin’ genius no matter where he lives…but if he has…CONGRATS SIR

Awesome review and props on the AOD refrence

OMG! OMG! OMG!

That was EPIC!!!

Spoony, Dr Insano is not funny. You are funny and talented without using that character as a crutch. I skip by the Insano parts of all your videos. You’re way better than this.

Other than that, good video.

The Laguna thing was never explained but Ellone brought them together because Laguna is Squall’s father.

Laguna was away in Esthar and Squall’s mother was alone giving birth to a baby Laguna never knew about.
Squall’s mother (Ellone’s adoptive mother) said she wished Squall could meet his father so Ellone at like age 5 or something casts her little time unity spell to turn Squall into Laguna etc so she could tell the dying Raine woman or whatever that she made the two of them meet before she copped it.

This is why Squall always calls Ellone ‘Sis’ yet can’t remember her. She was his sister.

but anyways, THIS WAS NEVER FUCKING EXPLAINED! WHAT THE FUCK?

You do know that it’s not Julia that Laguna hugs at the end, but Squall’s mother Raine right..?

Then again, you probably don’t care/didn’t care to pick it up. I still laughed like crazy at your review and I still like FF8.

FinalFantasyFan is a massive hypocrite and a terrible pussy. This is scientific fact.

First of all there’s his huge overreaction to one line at the very end of a review; going so far as to remove the site from his favourites for a throwaway comment (and even one that had been repeated several times throughout the site and on the very first video of the fucking review). Then there is his rage at people daring to have their own opinion, calling them ‘close-minded’ for not agreeing with the exact same things he does. Please. I like FFX, and even I can see why people would hate the unintentionally hilarious drama and overly complex levelling system.

But the most heinous thing of all is that his reaction is essentially He Panned It, Now He Sucks. This refers to the fanboy phenomenon of chuckling along with a beloved critic mercilessly ripping into things, and then suddenly turning on the critic like a rabid terrier if he dares to criticise something the fanboy likes. This is the behaviour of someone who has his head rammed so far up his ass he can lick his own throat.

I know I’m ranting, but I need to express my rage at this act of incomparable whining, especially when the target is a review as funny as this one.

Awesome!

Absolutely brilliant. The best review ever. You versus your squall-self was one of the highlights (especially the gunblade part) as well as that rinoa porn part.

And yes, I love the song Eyes on Me. My man cards have been long gone before that.

Im disappointed to see this end. I would have rather seen you rip it apart piece by piece, but this kind of epic conclusion justifies the quick finish.

Just WOW TIMES 4000000000000000000000000000

how could you not come back after you played the entire song and mock us for listening to it. I am disappointed

i expected awsomeness and i nearly weant blind from over exsposer from pure awsomeness lol Spoony gives whole new meaning to the word “!!!!! I AM A MAN !!!!” lol the one game i would love to see him tear and shred is The Matrix Path Of Neo because…do i need a reason?

Being a sucker for time travel plots, I think I’ve stuck with FF all his time because of all the goofy sci-fi plot twists thrown into some of the classic games in the series. FF1 was especially cool considering that the plot was almost non-existent for most of the game, and suddenly it hammers you with realizations like “ooh, Garland didn’t die!” and “the Temple of Fiends is intact and MASSIVE in the past.” FFV is also one of my faves due to the parallel worlds, and even though the plot is arguably pretty weak, you have to admit it took a cool concept from Dragon Warrior III (later perfected in FFVI and re-used in chrono cross) and did some original things with it. Even FFX had an interesting time travel premise at the start, even though it was later replaced by “wait….did Zanarkand ever exist or was it all in his head?”.

But for some reason, FfVIII doesn’t move me at all. It’s pretty obvious the time compression thing was stuck on at the last minute by square, and Ultemecia randomly swoops in and steals Edea’s thunder despite being a vastly inferior adversary. I can forgive the lack of motive for her desire to stop time (nobody complains about classic rpgs where the villain’s scheme is counter-productive), but Edea was a much more interesting character, having once raised all the mains while posing as the head of the orphanage. At the time, the x-men animated series was still fresh in people’s mind so my friends compared her relationship to the mains to Mr Sinister and Cyclops. If the developers wanted to shelve Edea, they should have replaced her with someone worthwhile, like a future version of Rinoa who turned evil (which would have been a good reveal if it had turned out to be Ultemecia. In fact, it would’ve lifted this game to greatness).

Most FF games are worth playing, because even if the setup is crappy, the story is usually original and doesn’t go where you expect. But FFVIII doesn’t have much payoff, so I wouldn’t recommend bothering with it.

You realise this is the standard we expect from all of your reviews from now on?
=P
Fantastic review Spoony.
The games flaws are numerous, but I still enjoyed playing it.

The party learns the truth about Edea.

Squall: *facepalm*

The sad part about it is that I’ve never played the game, but I own both FF X and X-2. Please forgive me for being a pussy with two games that I gave up on long ago for being hard pieces of crap they are.

So…yeah not sure what’s gonna come up next but I hope it’s as great as this. Great video, Noah.

Spoony-Squall was REALLY disturbing, but watching him get blown up Search for Spock style was bad ass. I loved that movie too. Odd numbered Trek movies suck except for that one.

I have tears in my eyes.

I have tears in my eyes.

my GOD man!! epic isnt even the begining of words to describe this. you, noah-spoony, whatever you shall be called, are a genius. i cannot wait to see what the new spoony will be up to!!!

I can’t help but laugh that the still frame for this episode is Seifer saying “Is this the end?”

One word: EPIC!

But I kind of feel sort of devided emotionally by this “final review”.

First of I feel sad that there isn’t going to be another FF8 review.

On the other han I feel glad for Noah! He dosen’t have to pull his hair out of his head anymore because of this awfull, shitty storyline and queer-romantic game!!

I loved the squall moment (although spoony missed a perfectly good opportunity to use a Emo Git joke), and the entire review not only had top quality editing for a internet low budget game review, but was as always hilarious. I’m actually kinda glad we’ve ended the era of the Final Fantasy VIII review, it’ll let spoony move on to new stuff without people bothering him about when he’s going to finish the review. All in all, a great review, but topping this is going to be next to impossible.

What the deuce?! Wow, that was crazy, man. lol

HELLOOOO IM THE GUARDIAN FORCE CRITIC, I REMEMBER IT SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

EPIC Finale!!!

I have one of those time compressors too, however I’d just stick to speeding up movies on my Xbox, they seem to work best with those.

Well that was worth the wait great job but on all the comments eluding to FFX.

Come on guy we know its kinda dumb except for the one saving grace that is Auron.
Mind you I kinda like it, basically for Auron, but Tidus there serves to piss everyone off. You think he would be less angsty given he was a sports star of some sort. Even Jecht is more fun than him, but then again being a pooka I have an affinity for rum pots. And even Riku is more entertaining than Yuna.

I really hope that, after being reanimated, Spoony does not go after FFX basically because I think it would kill him again and Linkara may get tired of the reanimation process. Let him unwind with some classic FFVI at least for a while.

*sorry I have trouble understanding the difference between the fiction and the reality*

Also is a gunblade a boomstick or a boomknife?

God, how can people even play this shite.

Man, this was just the complete utter definition of awesomeness…

Keep up the good work Spoony one ;D

Nifty! What a great way to end the review! You covered everything that’s horrible about the game and you didn’t even spoil the ending. :)

Interestingly enough, Gamespot’s FFVIII review was written by Andrew Vestal, who was a great friend of mine a few years back. I knew him for more than a year before I realized HE was the one who wrote the review. I had trouble not strangling him after that.

Wow! Referencing the Original ending to “Army of Darkness” and my favorite scene of all Star Trek movies ever??

You, sir, are my HERO!!!

Awesome. Props on suffering through that horrible game. Watching you play it has been much more entertaining then I remember it being when I tried to get through it myself. I got about halfway through it and thought, “yeah…this isn’t going to get any better, is it.” Never did finish it, and after watching your reviews…really happy I didn’t waste anymore time on it then I did. Way worse than FFX. I actually enjoyed playing that game…although all the characters except Auron were hella lame.

Love It…

This Years Top Ten Epic Games Reviews…

And Your 1st!!!!

for now…

No matter how much u say u hate the game…

Why would u have figures of FF8 in your room and a cosplay outfit of squall?

Anyways Love Your Vids Dude!

Well worth the wait.

Good job Spoony.

Entertaining, but I’m glad you’re moving onto other things – even though I could watch you vent your rage over FF8 for days, it’s got to put a damper on your creativity.

We will always remember your brave sacrifice of your dignity for our amusement. (I really hope you burned that costume after wearing it.)

Also, great way to set up moving house. Though you didn’t have to go and nuke the whole town.

Wow. An “Overdrawn At The Memory Bank” reference AND an “Army of Darkness” original director’s ending reference BACK TO BACK. You, good sir, win at Obscure Reference Showdown. Kudos.

Also, this review is beyond epic. And… I think I love you.

Hooray! Wonderful wonderful! Three cheers for Spoony!

Loved the conclusion! I also liked seeing Linkara; aside from you, he’s one of my favorites and I think you two go well together.

I waited long for the final review of the game. Counting down the days in till I could watch it. But now that it is finished…..I will miss. Long Live Final Fantasy 8….for now we must say goodbye…

(In till PlayStation lets us download the game on the PSN)

I really liked FFIX

I really liked FFIX

give me back my man card you S.O.B!!! i sat threw “eyes on me” and didn’t even enjoy it!!!!
I AM A MAN DAMNIT! A MAN!!!!!! *Punch* lol jkjk

(all and all an epic finish. stay gold spooney-one)

Great Review Spoony, I finally donated some money to you.
It wasn’t a lot but it’s really all I had and with all the great entertainment you have provided you deserved it

Hey, Spoony, i’m going to ask since there’s at least a 1% chance that you may answer: What was your opinion on Final Fantasy 9?

You confuse my sexual identity

WOW! … THAT.WAS.AWESOME!
*Does standing Ovation during ending montage.*
Huh?!
*Later notices that I have just listened to “Eyes On Me” all the way through*
o_o
*Hands in Man-Card*

Awesome review as allways, I wonder whats next for the experiment!
I realy respect what you do, its clear your not in it for money but im going to donate anyway :)
Anyways, keep up the good work. http://www.myspace.com/jukebanduk

I…uh…woah…I’ve never seen a video that could so quickly shift from hilarity to absolute horror. I’ve seen this game to often praised, this series so often praised and held as the ideal game series, and no video more accurately manifests the rage that this causes me. Well done.

A few years back, I paid £15 (!) for a used copy. Played it once, hated it. Thanks to you, I feel better than if I had gotten my money back.

Also, what will be the new status quo after this huge event? Spoony: Dark Reign? Is Burton being retired? Or Dr. Insano? Are you moving out? Can’t wait to see what happens next.

WOW!!!!! Spoony that was above and beyond what I expected!!!!!! You make us proud! Long Live the Spoony One!!

Excellent review, and a fitting end to your FFVIII series

Great review! You explained points in a way that I understood, being the FF8 newbie that I am. Never played it but I don’t think I will ever in any case. Extemely funny too, but I didn’t listen to Eyes On Me, I’m keeping my Man-card! :p

As for FFX, I’ll be interested in hearing your points on that as that was my first RPG but I’ll look forward to you tearing it to shreds. I didn’t think the Sphere system is anywhere near as bad as the whole magic-gathering nonsense in 8 but on the voice-acting the actors have certainly moved onto significantly better roles since FFX.

Keeping rocking Spoony!

So much for my man cards! Curse you Dr. Insano!!!!!

great, now I simply wish to be Dr. Insaneo’s follower/faceless henchmen

Yeah, I had to mute the credits. I just couldn’t take it.

Loved the star trek reference

Loved the star trek reference

It’s bittersweet. Great video, but sad to see this chapter of The Spoony Experiment over.

Well, you really havent understood anything about the story, did you spoony?
(my second guess is that this is just ironie)
Use your fantasy to understand the plot

Truly amazing job, well worth the wait. I laughed at Insano’s Son cameo the most. Can’t wait to see what the future will bring.

I expected the assassin to be tekkenmaster. I don’t mind Squall, though. Great job, Spoony!

HOLY CRAP

That…was FREAKIN’ EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s a reason you’re my absolute favorite one out of the whole internet review/TGWTG people out there!!!

LONG LIVE THE SPOONY ONE!!!

ALL HAIL DR. INSANO AND HIS PINK BLOB EVIL SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoony loves FF8, if you can’t see it you must be dumb.

that was fucking amazing!

Man cards? Have you been watching Scrubs? If they are MAN cards, why are they pink? Great as always!

Excellent work Spoony. Couldn’t have had a better conclusion. I’m sort of glad that this series is finally finished though, because I wanna see your Ripper Let’s Play.

I’d also like to find out your reasons for despising FFX though. It’s the only FF I’ve played from beginning to end, and I thought it was really good. Don’t torment yourself too much farther though, a 1-parter would be just fine.

I knew it! Dr. Insano is inspired by Dr.Cox! Hey he has a stethoscope and MAN Cards..what else do you want?! Also a really great Review and worth waiting the time. Hope stuff now comes more regularly as (most) issues seem to be solved.

That was… awesome. The definition of it.

We all can’t wait for your return! <3

This is just awesome, Spoony. Really worth the wait indeed. Keep up the excellent work!

You horrible, cruel bastard. Why did you make us listen to all of Eyes on Me, WRYYYYY? That song makes me want to tear my ears off.

Aaaanyway in regards to the review, that was fucking awesome. I can’t believe you actually went as far as to cosplay as Squall though…talk about dedication xD

very nice spoony well done

Don’t tell me this is the end of spoony…I love all your videos so much :(

Spoony, I don’t believe you hate FF8 anymore. I can tell you fucking love this game.

absofuckingtootly Epic!!! great cam work and I love the cring and man card bit.

Ive been a fan for a very long time spoony, and this is my first written comment.

The epic review of this game that I have been watching and waiting for for about 8 months has finally come to an end, and I would like to thank you for entertaining me.

Great finish.

<3

Great video,
but you skipped everything on the second version of ultimecia that looked like a retarded upside down fetus thing

Where the hell did he got that Squall cosplay?
To bad this ep covers to much game, it was kinda rush. But amaencily funny

*Reads Final Fantasy Fan’s comment.*

*Thinks (Dear God this guy is an obvious troll)*

*Sees other players responding to the comment.*

*Then says, “Oh, WTF. Let’s rock.*

“*Watches review through to the end and thoroughly enjoys it”

Keep this in mind for later.

“*See’s the line “They didn’t even start getting really bad until Final Fantasy X” with no proof whatsoever to back it up.”

To begin with, that was the exact line that Spoony began his review of FF8 with, so it was more of a film-making choice than anything. And it’s a little hard to prove an opinion. You can prove that an opinion is justified, but there’s always going to be people to disagree with you, especially when it comes to video games.

The fact that FFF didn’t even watch the full series of videos, OR see Spoony’s recent blog where he slightly attacks FFX, tells me that this guy wasn’t as big a fan as he pretends to be. In addition, it makes one think that he just came across this video, and not any of the others. That is more the behavior of a troll than a person being genuine.

“*Rolls eyes
*Exits out of site
*Removes site from favorites”

Another sign that he’s a troll- nobody would actually remove any site from their favorites due to a single sentence. They might criticize it, but nobody would go that far. So all you’re doing is making up an extreme reaction in order to get attention.

“*Watches Uwe Bolle movie (Anything is better than the soon to be coming “Final Fantasy X review” a.k.a. “Spoonies next mindless fanboy rant”)”

1. It was a single sentence. How can somebody be sure that a video is coming from that?

2. You don’t have to worry about that, since you took the site off your favorites, rigfht? :P

“*Plays Final Fantasy X just to remember the wonderful storyline, great graphics, return to and actual fantasy setting, wonderful characters, and incredible music. Just to spite all anti Final Fantasy X fanboys who are completely and utterly close minded and don’t deserve my attention in any way whatsoever.”

Where to begin?

“Plays Final Fantasy X”

Big mistake.

“Just to remember the wonderful storyline”

Wrong. To begin with, 98% of the game doesn’t even revolve around the main character’s storyline. This just makes the whole thing utterly confusing when the two finally meet together. I won’t spoil, so I’ll just say that approximately 30% of the story is interesting, which is overthrown by the 70% of filler, and 80% of the game where they just run around, and don’t actually ask any questions about what’s going on. It’s a long ride for a weak payoff.

“Great graphics”

Fair enough, but graphics= the least important piece of a game. Why did you even mention this? It makes you look utterly superficial.

“return to and actual fantasy setting,”

I’m not sure what that even MEANS.

“wonderful characters”

Wow. My suspension of belief just snapped. The FFX characters are mostly annoying, childish, and brooding. There is no character development throughout, so if you disliked almost everyone, as I did, you’re going to find the game pretty insufferable.

” Just to spite all anti Final Fantasy X fanboys who are completely and utterly close minded and don’t deserve my attention in any way whatsoever.”

In general, this sentence just FEELS fake.

But again, let’s break it down.

“Just to spite all anti-Final Fantasy X fanboys who are completely and utterly close-minded”

To begin with, this statement itself is utterly close-minded, since you are making generalities about an extremely diverse group. In addition, stating that Spoony’s FFX review is just going to be a “fanboy rant” is pretty closed-minded.

“and don’t deserve my attention in any way whatsoever.”"

Closed-minded statement #3.

“*Tries to see things from an anti Final Fantasy X fanboy’s point of view
*Fails since I can’t stick my head that far up my ass”

Close-minded statement #4. Also, nice ad-hom.

“Spoony Ugh whenever I need to ruin my day I can just come on here and try watching one of his reviews (Or reading them) ¬_¬”

Close-minded statement #5. Also, compare this sentence to these-

“*Watches review through to the end and thoroughly enjoys it”

“*Rolls eyes
*Exits out of site
*Removes site from favorites”

OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS.

You shoulda called the people who didn’t skip to the end of that song a wuss at the end of it! >_>

Am I the only one who had the brilliant idea of muting my sound when the end credits rolled by? Mancard still safe. Booyah!

This was an awesome video you put together there. I’ll admit I wish you continued to review the plot more in detail, as you’ve been doing since the beginning, so we could get your comments on every last stupid feature of the game (ever found out what that ufo thing was?), but I can understand that you wanted to get that awful game done and over with as soon as possible. Go, you spoony bard, you, and bring justice to the world.

Also, for someone who hates cosplayers, you sure went out of your way to get yourself an accurate Squall costume. Is this the beginning of the cosplaying Spoony era? Also I wonder how the Linkara sub-plot will come into play in your furute videos. I’m looking forward to see what you come up with next, both on your end and on Linkara’s.

On a side-note. You love Doom Train, do you? Enough to start singing random songs about trains when you ride on it, do you? Did you know it’s actually the same train that Sabin Rene Figaro suplexed to death like a bitch back in your other article? Yeesssss it is. Sabin he’s the man!

Go Spoony bros. Behind you all the way.

I’ve always disagreed with your overall view on FFVIII. I love the game, always will. However, I do admit the time travel part is a crock of shit.

Eyes on me is awesome though!

I kept hearing the song name of “Eyes on me” as “I Zombie” and kept thinking what a completely innapropiate song name that was, or maybe not, it was certainly mind numbing :)

Great review mate and loved the bit about asking what exactly the gun bit did, really well done and edited.

Hahahahahah Spoony is Squal was funny as hell..

Dude you just blew up you parrents house just to kill Squal.. i mean i know you hate him but maybe you took it too far.. still thank you for eliminating you.. im happy for you that you finaly finished having to play this shit.. ^^

Thanks Linkara we hail you..

This review made me cry. Made of pure win. T.T

Great ending to a truly legendary review. While i do like the game, i can easily admit its lowest on my list of FF favorites, especially since 9 was so much better but wasnt received as favorably by the public.

I am deeply intrigued as to how you will return to us, what method the great Spoony will be reincarnated by.

Jabba The Hutt would tell this guy to lay off the cheetohs…

gut busted. well done spoony

Thank you Noah for the mose epic, in-depth and entertaining review ever. I’m kind of sad now that it’s over. I’ll admit ‘Eyes on me’ is rather cheesy and sappy but I have the piano version MP3 and that is way more tasteful. keep up the fantastic work and being the best person on the internet since….ever.

P.S. Thank you Scarlett for adding my ‘The Spoony Code’ poster to the maiin page images :)

So… this isn’t really the end of the review is it? you said it yourself after being interrupted by Dr Insano, you still have to go over the actual ending of the game.

I Was waiting for this for a long time! Thanks for not giving up dood!

Yay! Well done! Now maybe a certain population will STFU about the next FFVIII vid…

I love Final Fantasy VIII and I love the review. Many things in this review are disputable but most things are just so true. I still love the game and I will play it through again, thinking of this review and naming my characters just like You did: Emo Git, A Whore, Anal, …
Still, the Phantasmagoria playthrough mostly sucked because the game itself sucked but Final Fantasy VIII is one of the best games I ever played and this review is not one of the best but the best review I have ever seen for any game, including all the AVGN and Irate Gamer stuff as well as serious reviews.
By the way, I still have my man card, even though it’s … pink …

OMG Spoony as Squall! Now there’s something I never thought I would see!

Soon he will return, and absolve us of our sins.

Awww…..I feel pleased yet sad this is finally over. God my eyes are a lil wet even from those credits.

That was awesome Spoony, thanks so much for that :D

Also, on another thing…..you play a good Squall.

Never do that again, it’s creepy.

“Hellooo, I’m the GF critic. I remember it, because you won’t be able to. Because you summon too many GFs.”

Epic ending to a great series of reviews – I didn’t hate FF8 that much, but some aspects well and truly sucked ass. I like the camera work, the split screen and cutaways really add much; it’s clear that this was quite an investment in time and labor, and it shows! It’s kinda sad that this whole chapter is now over, but at least it got a great send-off… good job!

(And I had half expected the Spoony One to have cast LIFE-3 in preparation.)

(And I sincerely hope Linkara saved a snippet of torn clothing, too. Don’t want to see a naked Spoony rising from a bath of dripping goo.)

Epic…simply epic. Still can’t believe you disguised as Squall. XD

Good…but must see that which was time skipped over lol

I’d love to see a Final Fantasy X review too. I put way too much time into that game and still can’t beat it.

Spoony dressing up as Squall?!

Spoony officially jumped the shark! Everyone abandon ship!

Also whats next, FF6 and some of the random things in there? (good game, but um, well, the Chuck Norris of the series being stopped from hitting someone with his fist by a female supersoldier with a sword lol)

I knew something epic would happen the day I got a pair of Doctor Insano googles. THis was an epic ending for a really stupid game. Now the future of the experiment is in Linkara’s hands, lets hope his geeky comic book knowledge is ehough to bring back the Spoony one.

Linkara playing god? This is going to be *good*!

Cheating death FTW!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK I’m so freakin’ excited

Glory To the Spoony Experiment!!!!!!!!

WOOHOO

It feels like the end of an era. And I can’t wait to see what’s next. Keep up the great work, Spoony, and lets hope some lonely rich bastard recognizes your work and finances the experiment!

That was epic, Spoony. IMO, probably your best recording to date.

Although I too wish Spoony would’ve spread it out over a few more videos, I got the impression he felt it was like a giant anchor around his neck, so I understand why he chose to finish it with a bang.

I’m looking forward to seeing how Linkara brings Spoony back from the dead. I also suspect a FFX review will probably come eventually, but it won’t be a huge series like FFVIII. It’ll probably just be a one-shot deal. Spoony probably wouldn’t want to put himself through that again. :)

NOOOOO!!! spoony!!! awesome review! Linkara will bring him back to life!!!

Epic review, one of your best ones to date.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! seeing you as squall was…. PRICELESS!!! and somehow u almost pulled it off. though idk if that should be an insult or a compliment. the only thing that might have made this better is if u had someone else to play squall, that way u could really duke it out with him and show everyone how big of a pussy he really is.

You really dedicated yourself when making this episode, good effects, funny outfits, overall great. I really look forward to next review.

I’m sorry, but after seeing all of your other FF8 reviews (since the very beginning I might add), I am very dissapointed in this one. You basically took 2 and a half discs and compressed it all into a single 30 minute review. All your other parts spent 30 minutes in just ONE part of the game. Not only that, but you skipped around a little in this one, with different parts of the game, which seemed quite unorganized. You wern’t kidding when you said that you were rushing this one, because that is exactly how it felt, rushed. Quite dissapointing, I was really looking foward to the next installment. Unless the whole bit at the end was a way of telling us the review isn’t over, and what you left the video on before you click to watch it was a hint as well. I really hope this is true, because this would be a pretty terrible way to go out, seeing how awesome all the other parts of your review were. I really, REALLY hope this isn’t the end, and was a joke like “time loop” was.

i’ve read all the 314 comment, they all say something like : ” you should review FFX ” … or great review.
I have to agree, Yeah, it’s an excellent way to finish the review, and I’m a total pussy for liking the song at the end. Please continues to do such great vidoes, or not because so much great video like these would spoiled us.

I remember when I played this game as a kid I got the garden flying at an earlier point in the game, I think too early. At around the point when I was supposed to go to the train maybe? cant remember anymore. Well, I stopped playing the game because I couldn’t figure out how to land the garden. I was stuck in the top down view, flying around with the garden all over the map not being able to land it anywhere. That was so weird.

You know, after watching this review, it made me realize how much I actually liked FF8. I mean it’s been years since I played it and I didn’t really remember much plot farther than half of disc 2, but I remember having lots of fun playing through the game. I was surprised with seeing you in a squall outfit, hell, you even had final fantasy viii figurines. You obviously at one point must have really liked the game (maybe you still actually do, I don’t know.)

But when you say it really didn’t get bad until FFX… I completely agree with you. COMPLETELY. God, that game is a horror story. If anyone thought FF8′s story was a complicated cluster fuck, they need only look at FFX to see just how much worse FF8′s story could have been: SPOILER ALERT (Tidus: Oh no, my dad’s somehow turned into a gigantic ball of aquatic shit that rises out of the ocean to destroy entire cities and can suck people up into his ass to transport them across time and space to a place where the world of the living is run by the dead! 0_0 WTFBBQ) I never got that far into FFXII because the boring characters and ridiculously boring battle system just turned me off from playing through it.

My favorite one was FF9, and I really hope that XIII is a return to other final fantasys where the characters have more development and importance in the plot and that the battle system doesn’t suck ass.

Anyway, epic as always Spoony. Hope Linkara revives you soon :)

Final Fantasy Fan, please hand in your man cards.

Looks like you’ve all had a some fun making this last one. And that a Mad Scientist is sleeping in everyone. Well, when he’s not awake.
Anyway, very nicely done ! Keep it up !

I couldn’t stop laughing the whole way through.

WOOO! That was great. Though I can understand those who were disappointed, that game was clearly torture for you and I got the idea you really wanted to finish it now. But you did so in the best way possible. Looking forward to the aftermath of you exploding and stuff. :p

What else did you need to know? Did you really need 100 more parts explaining how stupidly and needlessly convoluted this game was ad-nauseum?

This is without doubt the most amazing thing you ever made. Congratulations on finally having finished the review.

That was brilliant. The whole Siefer/Rinoa sex rant had me laughing so hard I nearly hit the floor.

Great video Spoony. I hope the new Spoiny rebuilds Burton.

Thanks for that Spoony! I never played the entire game through, only up to CD 2, and watching your video sure was faster and more fun than finishing it.

10/10 from me!

I hope you know dressing up as Squall will probably come back to haunt you.

Great job, Spoony. I’ve been waiting for ever and you definitely delivered!

Thank you!

Now…what’s next?

That was the most AWESOME review i’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Seriously!! 10/10!!
Thanks, Spoony, for giving us an incredible amount of entertainment with every video.
Fuck Yor, you’re THE MAN!

Me and my girlfriend are trying to come up with something to write that is original and not just blatant worship of the awesomeness that is the Spoony one and his FF8 reviews. However we fail :P Regardless of what is to come next we’re sure it’ll be just as grand. All hail the Spoony one!

All Final Fantasy games are shit.

The look on Linkara’s face at the end gives me the impression that he has his own reasons for resurrection Spoony.
But enough consperacy theories the review was awesome and while at first I thought it was going to be a rip off with the time remote thing, the review was epic and a great way to close out an era.

Ahahaha…Wow that was an ending I felt satisfied with. Is it a prelude to a X review? I actually thought that was a good game so I’d like to see what can be thrown at it. As for the ending I think you made a little error, the woman in the yellow wasn’t Julia, it was Raine (it’s probably already been said). But it’s not like that ruined it for me or anything.

So…Spoony, are you going to be conducting new reviews as a piece of, what looks like, a gum eraser? Maybe you should do your next vlog like that hahah!

Thanks for the hard work Spoony. It was a good way to finish it, and I’m glad you did. You’ve got some balls to sit through that shitty game, just to please us. But you did, and thanks for it.

Could this be the END of TSE? well we’ll see what Linkara is up to….

This is quite sad, the review is finally over, it’s like we have nothing more to look forward to.

Great review, but it’s unfortunate that it’s over, I wouldn’t mind if it had lasted a few more videos/months… maybe he’ll start FFX now, who knows.

Epic conclusion, Spoony!!

…………..WOW! Awesome and soooo funny. I just love it when you toy with and make fun of those FF8 fan losers. You are probably one of the only reviewers I know of that I always agree with when he reviews something.

When Final Fantasy 8 was made the producer was Sqauresoft, it wasn’t until FFX that they changed to Square Enix and fucked things up really bad.

thanks for doing this and explaining the game, cause I sure as hell didn’t get the story when I played through it. and where do you keep getting those personalized shirts, they’re so awesome!! XD

just one thing, for someone who hates the game so much, you have a lot of merchandise from it, like the action figures and …a gun blade? XD wow! I just find that very funny

The part about what the gun part of the gunblade actually does is possibly one of the greatest things I have ever seen in my life. Great review, as always.

I believe I preferred the conclusion to Spoony’s ‘Phantasmagoria 2′ series, but this final video was still a fun, entertaining and well-scripted number. I laughed heartily at Spoony’s critique of the time travel conundrums in this game, and thoroughly enjoyed his final duel with Squall.
Good work.

Noooo! FF8 has died! (raises arms and cries) Spoonyyyy!

Well, when you said that the next review would be difficult to make from an emotional point of view, I’d have never imagined this. You really went out of your way to make this epic. And, just as you expected, FF8 has finished you, literally. Seriously, did you have this ending planned as the series went on, or did you come up with alll this just after the April Fool special? When you come back to life, I think I’d love to see a “Making of” kind of video on this one. Even if it’s just you talking about the experience, I’d love to watch it.

By the way, I DO like Eyes On Me, but that’s only because the first time I heard it wasn’t in the game. A friend gave me a FF Music CD, and it was in it. However, when I finally heard it in the game, my reaction was exactly the same as yours: “Could they have put the song in a more inappropriate moment?”.

Crying moments of FF history: Opera scene from FF6, death of Aeris from FF7, death of Spoony from FF8 reviews.

wow…that was so epic, my eyes almost burnt out of their sockets, epic job spoony!!!

Holy fuck man. Just…wow…no words can describe the sheer awesomeness that is this vid. Found out about you about a year and a half ago, and have had the honor of sitting through some of the most creative, purely insane vids. Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do next, though I’m still kinda hoping you’ll do more for The Ripper. Blessings upon you O Spoony one.

This is by far the best of your reviews ever. A fitting end.

And you made me realize that the only Square Enix character I would ever really love is Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears.

Just so everyone knows: if Linkara sells his soul to Mephisto to revive Spoony?

I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Now, I actually liked this game, but I never got to the time travel part, what with the disc breaking halfway through. I also liked Final Fantasy X, even though there was the stupidity and all.

But I liked them in a fashion that allows me to know: they’re not really excellent games. A really excellent game has the player actively contribute through the plot, not just going through the motions. See, say, La-Mulana, or Cave Story, or Planescape Torment (which is the best RPG ever). The Chrono series is a better JRPG, again, because you can affect the plot.

Also, I enjoyed FFVIII and FFX because they allowed my in-born munchkinosity to shine through. FFVIII was my first experience with powergaming, so it has a small space in my heart.

Just so everyone knows: if Linkara sells his soul to Mephisto to revive Spoony?

Brilliant just brilliant Spoony.I hope you continue your Final Fantasy Reviews with next installments such as FFX and FFXII since you’re just too good at pointing out the inconsistencies and the blatant drawbacks this series has.Concerning FFVIII I wished it would have gone on longer but considering the difficulties you’re currently facing it’s completely understandable that you would want to wrap it up so to speak.That said the original work you’re doing is really entertaining it seems you just have what it takes, you’re a true spark of individuality among a massive pool of mediocrity.Sounds like sucking up but the fact that I have taken a good look at the competition I consider it to be true.So please continue doing what you do best ^^

It’s easier to enjoy the song when you pretend the lyrics don’t mean anything. The instrumentals are dandy.

that was a great review but does the end mean that spoony is moving to a new place? anyways i have to honestly say this being the first time i have heard the “song” i hate every lyric of it its a horrible song ill stick with still alive

Great review, but one can only expect this from the good Spoonyone.
By the by, what is it that you mean nothing will ever be the same again? I know this is the big review we were all waiting for, but what will change? Moving in with Linkara? Moving to a new house? Reviews of new games? By the way, don’t tell me I will lose my manliness if I listen to a certain piece of music and then make me sit through that particular piece of music through the credits ever again! I need to go do something manly now.

No, FFX is just bad.

So it finally ends. I really have to admit, FFVIII was one of my favorite of the series, I actually put it above most of the others saying it was better. Some how I managed to miss all the gaping holes in the plot…which further confirms my theory that as a kid i was pretty freaking stupid.

Thank you Spoony, thank you for teaching me how to hate this game more than I already hate FFVII.

P.S.: I hated “Eyes On Me.” but I did sit through it. Twice now, thanks to you!

Wow…didn’t expect this series to finish up so fast. I was honestly expecting more nitpicking and shit.

Anyway, I stumbled upon these series of videos a few months back through That Guy With the Glasses. I honestly never expected to laugh my guts out in some parts. I’m kind of sad that this is over.

Man…I honestly can’t believe I enjoyed this game so much back then, especially the storyline. After watching you making fun of it and pointing out various absurd twists, I was simply left surprised. Good for you for making it through the game and bringing us along for the ride.

Excellent work overall, man. Very entertaining. Even though your first videos weren’t the best quality, I think that they had some of the best material. That first video almost killed me with your own dub on the cinematic cutscene, naming certain characters and GFs (Emo Git…LOL), and making fun of the Gunblade. I also love how you make fun of Rinoa’s attacks…can’t believe she used her dog that way and I never actually thought to myself how absurd that is. Making fun of Zell always got me…particularly that “Mentos commercial” FMV. My personal highlight though…was when you used that Magic Lamp and Diablo kicks your ass. That was just priceless. I can watch this scene over and over and laugh like crazy.

While the quality of the jokes in later videos didn’t match up to your first ones, the actual quality of production and recording.was way, way better. You cleaned up pretty well.

Now about this finale, I kind of think that you rushed through it. Liked what you did with certain parts (LOL @ Eyes on Me rant) but wished that you divided the material into two or three videos instead of powering through it like that. But all in all, I’m glad you had the time to finish up this series of yours.

The more I watch this series…the more I can’t believe that I played through the game and liked it. Man, just when I thought of getting back to playing it for pure nostalgia…

So it finally ends. I really have to admit, FFVIII was one of my favorite of the series, I actually put it above most of the others saying it was better. Some how I managed to miss all the gaping holes in the plot…which further confirms my theory that as a kid i was pretty freaking stupid.

Was that actually supposed to be canon or was it just a doujin?

Wasn’t there a part 11? Seriously, I thought that it started out with Selphie pushing the buttons and saving her whatevers or something. <.< I dunno, maybe I'm going insane.

Awesome stuff man. I'm sad to see it go, but all great things must come to an end.

great job spooney I love every single minute. I almost cried during the credits with “eyes on me” playing. I love final fantasy VIII for life. You did forget to mention GF “bahamut” or “alexander” or even the GF Ultimecia used “Griver” which based off Squall’s pendent. I love the Squall Cosplay and action figures of final fantasy VIII

Seifer did beat Odin in one hit but then came Gilgamesh to take his place. 7-10 and 12 were great when i get a chance I need to play 4-6 and tactics(ps1 version) we need a review on FFIX or FFX or FFXII

FFFUUUUUU————- I laughed so hard when Spoony dressed as Squall. OH God that was hilarious. I love you Noah.

v__v and really?…really. God you just had to put Eyes on Me for the credits. You evil bastard. Okay granted, I can deal with it…but still….ewww…

8D Over all great review. Don’t care if it wasn’t nitpicky- this game absolutely tortured you and as much as I seeing you pained (wait—what?) I think FFVIII was a little too much.

Well, I really enjoyed that. These reviews were what introduced me to your site, so seeing it end is kinda bitersweet. It was awesome, but I already sorta miss it.

I would have liked to see your comments on the actual end of the game, but seeing you in the Squall outfit was even better.

I do, however, have to claim immunity from the pussy label you attached to people who like that song, on the basis that I had only ever heard the awesome Orchestral version from the Final Fantasy Concert Tour, nor heard the lyrics.

Anyway, I look forward to your next project, and thanks for suffering for us.

Excellent job, Spoony! I’m sad this is over. It was like a VH1 special mixed with MAD Magazine. This review is what made me a fan of TSE. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Thanks for all the laughs! Seriously, you should have your own show on tv!

NOOOOOOOO SPOONY DON’T DIE ON US. WORK ON HIM LINKARA

that was the most EPIC thing i’ve ever seen on this site, only seconded by the crossover goodness that was the final battle. I had to pause it for a minute and laugh my @ss off when Spoony as Squall walked through the door. Spoony I think you need to need to go to a psychiatrist for multiple personalities.

I still have my mancards. HAHA but did you have to go to porn doujin to get your point through.

“Why’d I give a walkie talkie to I guy that talks in textboxes”

Well played, sir. That looked very, very good, and it was funny.

Please disregard requests for FFX reviews. For the love of God, no more Final Fantasy. I would like to see you tackle one of the Metal Gear games—MGS2 in particular. Tons of stuff to rag on, good as that game and the others are.

Great. Now all Spoony has to do is review Final Fantasy X.

Then again, no one would be heartless enough to force him to play that absolutely fucking awful so-called “game”.

Final Fantasy 8 was most definately a peice of shit. And I thought the same thing when I played it YEARS ago, and felt stupid for it. But Spoony’s epic review of it, after all this time was fun, simply because Final Fantasy 8 is mockably fun for it’s stupidity.

But Final Fantasy X was the game that killed Final Fantasy, and every bit of credibility the series ever had. Startig with X, the franchise was dead. FF8 sounded the death knoll, Final Fantasy X killed the series forever, and X-2 pissed on the ashes of the franchise and raped it’s corpse. And the series has been utter shit ever since.

If Spoony had to review FFX for more than 2 minutes, I could see him shooting himself in the head. And FFX is so absolutely godawful beyond the point of any reasonable point of mentioning, with it’s locked off, stupendously linear pigshit on narrow paths with basically zero gameplay anywhere in it, with the worst characters that the franchise ever belched up, and the most unwatchablly painful acting, no character development, and retardedly inane story, that honestly…. FFX is SO BAD OF A GAME that not even Spoony’s sarcasm could carry him or anyone watching through it’s unbelievable, painful wretchedness. FFX is unreviewably bad, and nothing could get anyone through it without wanting to puke.

FFX was the single game that killed me off of ever liking the FF franchise ever again. I watched someone play 3 minutes of FFX-2 and I felt like I needed to take a shower, it made me feel dirty just for being in the same room of it.

I never so much as picked up another FF game since FFX,… until I begrudgingly picked up FF12, years later, to give the franchise another chance… and it was also unplayable, shitworthy garbage.

And FF13 is going to suck, too. Yes, it is.

Not only does all of the screens and news of it scream to be the same bullshit from FF8, FFX, X-2, 11, and 12, which were all fucking awful. It’s hyped to the moon, but Final Fantasy has been dead, and has had it’s corpse raped ever since FF8 sounded the death knoll, FF9 gave us false hope, and FFX stabbed the franchise in the back and X-2 pissed on it’s dead rotting carcass.

Final Fantasy sucks now, and it’s been dead for years, and though the last 4 fucking installments. Fanboys need to wake the fuck up and admit that their shitty franchise is a dead, molested, rotting corpse that Square-Enix keeps digging back up in order to profit off of retards.

Still, however, Spoony finally can feel as if he’s put his demons to bed, with the game that signaled the impending death of a franchise that has always been at best, mediocre, average with maybe only 3 good games to it’s credit, ever. Congratulations.

Probably not going to be seen, but anyway. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I was hoping it would be padded out a little longer then that, but o well. Great job with that. I hope to see Final Fantasy X soon.

The funny thing is, I actually found your site through Tvtropes.

I’m glad I never played this game. Hope to come back to life soon. What are you opinion on some of the other square games at the time, like Chrono Cross :p.

Very well done. Though I think you might have just made “Eyes on Me” a great song by associating it with the most thoroughly entertaining review I’ve seen in my life.

Keep up the good work and know that in a million fucking degree weather with a fever, you managed to give me half an hour of sanity.

Ah, great vid, great vid.

It’s been long in the making, and although I wish it had gone on longer, I can understand why you’d want to just finish the game off.

I rented this back in the day, spent a good 60-80 hours on it, was outside the final castle gates, when my parents forced me to take it back because I’d had it for so long. Needless to say, I was a tad upset. I can barely remember anything about the game other than it not making a whole lot of sense.

After you started to review it I went and bought the game for 3 bucks (shipping included), and I’m now looking forward to diving into it again. Oh I know it’s bad, but I suppose I’m a bit of a masochist.

Thanks for the awesome review Spoony, looking forward to seeing more from you.

Nice reference to infinite crisis at the end, does this mean your taking a hiatus?

OK, so I’ll admit that I was proven wrong when it came to what I thought this was going to be about. I was thinking Spoony was going to do a retrospective of his own work to date and then tell us that he was getting an apartment with Scarlett.

Needless to say, though, finally wrapping up the Final Fantasy 8 review once and for all was pretty damned epic, too! I’m glad I got to see a brief overview of some of the things I didn’t miss by being unable to play this game beyond halfway through the second disk.

As for the whole “Eyes On Me” thing, I guess I just lack any real perspective on it from the standpoint of the game. Even though I knew it was from Final Fantasy 8 when I found it online, I’d never heard it in the game itself, and chances are I never will, for reasons noted above, and maybe that’s why I think that as far as sappy love songs go, it’s actually pretty good all on its own. Maybe that makes me a pussy of some sort, but I’m not sure I really care.

Anyway, thank god FF8 can now stop being an active part of Spoony’s life. I can’t wait to see what new horrors the crazy fool will choose to subject himself to. Once he’s “resurrected,” that is.

OK, so I’ll admit that I was proven wrong when it came to what I thought this was going to be about. I was thinking Spoony was going to do a retrospective of his own work to date and then tell us that he was getting an apartment with Scarlett.

Needless to say, though, finally wrapping up the Final Fantasy 8 review once and for all was pretty damned epic, too! I’m glad I got to see a brief overview of some of the things I didn’t miss by being unable to play this game beyond halfway through the second disk.

As for the whole “Eyes On Me” thing, I guess I just lack any real perspective on it from the standpoint of the game. Even though I knew it was from Final Fantasy 8 when I found it online, I’d never heard it in the game itself, and chances are I never will, for reasons noted above, and maybe that’s why I think that as far as sappy love songs go, it’s actually pretty good all on its own. Maybe that makes me a pussy of some sort, but I’m not sure I really care.

@Leon

Just send your money to Linkara. All of it.

I hope that he continues the bashing of FF series, since this game series seems to be like his AVGN. And to all of you who are saying this was rushed or that FFVIII wasn’t a bad game to you, remember, this game SCARRED HIS SOUL. For those of you who have never played a game like that I envy you.

I have played that soul scarringly bad game. It showed me the darkness that resides in the hearts of men.

What could be next? Possibly a review of X, which he has hinted at. Or perhaps a Phantasmagoria style riff on the up-coming XIII. Either one would be ducky with me.

Amazing review overall Spoony! You ended it well. I can’t wait to see what’s next for the Spoony Experiment! Keep on truckin’ my friend and best of luck to you. Oh and, I see what you did there. I am a pussy now. XD

awesome reviews as always i really aprreciate u tearing final fantasy 8 anew one especially since my brothers is an unbearable final fantsy fanboy, not dresses up like squall and has a gunblade kinda fan boy mind u but one who did admit to getting teary eyed at the end of final fantasy 7.

“Excellent!! Excellent!!”

//That was quite the build up to something not that spectacular.
If you already hated the game before starting the long play comedic commentary
review ,only to get tired of it half way through, why start it ?//

He started the first video over two years ago, plus with the recent problems he’s been having, I’m pretty sure that the review has been more of a headache than anything else. He probably figured “let’s go out with the biggest bang I can pull off, and just hit the absolute bull-shit high-lights”. He could have gone on longer, and I doubt Ripper will ‘suffer’ the same fate (he DID play Phantasmagoria 2 all the way through). I’m kinda hoping for a sequel of this and focusing on X. 9 was just meh, I hardly see anyone talk about it, be it positive OR negative, and I don’t blame anyone. It didn’t do anything drastic or had anything really epic about it. Ten though, THAT one has a fence much like 7 and 8 did with the supporters and haters.

I could not stop laughing when I saw you as Squall. Great review. Looking forward for more.

Is it too late to start a slow clap?

There’s only two things missing here if you ask me.
1. There’s no final summary of the game. You know, Spoony ranting the ending and the conclusion and telling us why this game is so stupid.
2. There’s no emo git joke at the end when Squall appears :O Like “Yhh, I’m SO going to harm you! AAAH”

I wonder how Linkara will bring him back to life. Hmm will it will be interesting to see how it works, I just hop he doesn’t throw a little Hitler DNA in there.

The only explanation you need for anything, ANYTHING, as we’ve seen from Dr. Insano: They did it for teh lulz. She wants to destroy time? For the lulz. Ellonne wants to fuck with your head? For the lulz.
Very simple and satisfactory explanation. It’s worked for Anonymous for years now.

Not that it’ll change anyone’s mind, but Ultimecia was trying to destroy time because she was arrested as a girl before she ever was possessed by the sorceress and held prisoner by SeeD because the history texts (written by Selphie of all people) named her as the evil villain who wanted to destroy all creation.

So being arrested and viewed as the most evil thing since whatever passes as the Hitler equivalent before she did anything wrong drove her nuts. She decided that history was trying to kill her, so she’d kill history in return. This is all borne out in the game’s script.

Thing is, the whole story takes place in a time loop. During the first play through, a lot of it doesn’t really fall into place until (like why Cid appoints Squall a squad leader and sends him off on that mission, Ultimecia’s speech before Irvine fails to take the shot etc) much later in the game because you’re started out in the middle of the story.

Why so much with Laguna? Squall is Laguna’s son. Ellome is Julia’s kid.

Just…….perfection……and yes I am mailing my man card tommorrow or should i just drive from L.A. to drop it off.

Do you mean the same Anonymous from 4chan that’s had a number of their members end up in prison for unlawful protest, harassment, and cyber-terrorism over the last 2 years? Yeah. I don’t exactly call getting jailed and making some people sympathize with a cult “working”.

On a lighter note, I found this to be possibly the best part of the FFVIII review. It’s a shame we won’t get a rant about the ending, but I think what we got instead was way funnier. Why do I get the feeling that “things will never be the same” doesn’t just mean “no more FFVIII”? Will we be seeing potentially a new camera, a new set, and *gasp* a new Spoony?

I look forward to the next video.
