oh yes!!!!!!~XD THANK YOU SO MUCH SPOONY~

I haven’t watched it yet, but I am so excited! Way to go oh spoony one! *thumbs up*

Aaaaugh! Creepy Spoony nipples! Noooooooo!

A very nice conclusion. I’m not usually a fan of the whole skit thing, but I like it here. It wasn’t super annoying and you added in a little self-parody. Can’t wait to see what you do next (how about finishing Deadly Premonition, eh?)

Ahhhh, nice to see this one finished off. So after all the epic boss encounters you face what is essentially a parasite? Ugh.
I know nothing of the game but Jecht is by far my favourite character. With his dying breaths he takes the time to completely emotionally destroy that little snivelling twatbag Titus one last time……beautiful.

Happy New Year to you and yours Spoony. Also, loved the Santino trumpet celebration.

And now I know that the plot of Final Fantasy 10 is just stolen from Grandia II right down to fighting all the pieces of the final boss while inside it and then fighting a manifestation of it that is a tiny bug that poses no threat at all. What a crock of shit.

I’m not usually a big fan of long skits, but it worked with this one. Though I really hope you start the FFX-2 review with the intro to the game and such, you know, like the first FFVIII video since you’re going back to basics. That would be an awesome throwback.

Looking back FF9 was the only PS port I really liked, The remakes for the DS feel so much better, and now I think about it FFX is really a rip-off of Grandia II

Awesome. Just.. awesome :D
Happy new year to you too. =)

Awesome finale, great way to end the FF X series and a good cliffhanger to end on! Happy new year, Spoony and all the best to you in 2011!

The Black ole? Maybe? :P

Good review spoony, those two facts at the end are why I get my info from many different sources not just the big websites :)

That Titus costume… oh god… oh no god….

Congrats on finishing this Spoony! You must feel like you finally pushed a mountain sized terd out after being stuck on the toilet for a few month……. Honestly after re-reading that previous sentence for spelling errors I can’t say I enjoyed the mental picture it gave me. Anyways Happy New Years, and thanks for another year of some pretty great laughs! May there be many more!

how do you top the wild wild west theme in a final fantasy video? with lady gaga, megadeth, and jimmy buffet at the same time.

i laughed hard at the flash bangs. great video spoon.

Hey! what happen to the end of the game? the epilog? something? D:!

So, when Khimari stabs seymoar, they didn’t bother with any actual stabbing. Khimari’s spear just sort of awkwardly clips through Seymoar’s chest while Seymoard sways back and forth like he always does.

Anyone else catch that?

WTF! Was that a Santino trumpet?

Awsome santa christ music before the bomb but wtf what happend to spoony?

This is the first time I leave a comment in any of your videos. I should have done this a long time ago…

Awesome work, this what you do, Spoony. You bring twisted smiles to all of us (twisted, yes. We like to see you suffer, right?). I’m actually amazed how many characters you have played along the series; you don’t even look stupid in a Tidus disguise… I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, though.

What can I say? Awesome. Just awesome. Happy New Year to you, and thanks for all.

Ha I just finished watching the FF8 review to kill some time for the Final FFX review episode.
And then this pops up :)

Thanks Spoony.

hell yes worth the wait

Spoony if you are going to use Jimmy Buffet you should have used the right song!

“Little boy from South Park,
dying of AIDS in the cold dark.
How he got AIDS I haven’t a clue,
wasting away because of AIDS and stuff.”

Seriously Spoony get your shit together dude! :)

Absolutely brilliant overall and the Pumpkin Head dance is pure genius – tennis shoes and all! Nice blood effects by the way =)

Now all you have to do is play and review FFX-2

(there is a groan of pain and the sound of a body hitting the floor)

Uh….S-Spoony? are you ok?

I really hate to complain when you put so much effort into this review, but you did never talk about the sphere grid system.

Persona 4 is so much better then FF13. Just saying

DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! Love MEGADETH!!!! I think you should’ve gone with Looking Down The Cross!!! Plus, you could’ve made the Jecht fight more awesome with more MEGADETH!!!! It was a great review overall!!!! Also, Black Lantern Spoony is more badass than Yu Yevon!!!

The Persona reference was totaly awesome as was the entire video.

Great conclusion to a great series. Now Im hoping for FF X-2. That game sucks so much its ridiculous.

FFX realy is a good game in everything but the story. The battle system is awesome and the boss battles (Except the final boss) are amazing, and the sphere-grid system is innoative and fun.

But yeah, the story and all characters except Auron sucks.

Awesome video, keep up the good work.

I almost feel bad you had to wear a Titus costume.

An overrated game.. Nice to see you finally getting through it, no need to suffer from it anymore.

Only character that’s pretty much worthy of anything in ff 10 is Lulu… Black Mages rule… and two more… “reasons”…

THIS IS PURE WIN!!!

not only did harry plinkett have the star wars 3 review release but spoony put that bitch of a game down once and for all!

i couldnt stop laughing during that fight! XD

Everytime Spoony finishes a Final Fantasy game, his room explodes. He should probably look into the wiring.

Son “Yeah dad?” Your a pansy, you must have gotten it from your mother. *dies* Not that it matters, but do they even bother explaining why he was such a prick to his son?

I can only imaging FFX-2. Another game you should consider is Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus. That game is just one long insane doctor joke after another.

WOOHOO! THis was awesome! The wait was worth it and I, as well as the rest of us I’m sure, can’t wait for the next reveiw! Happy New Year everyone! This is going to be a good one, I’m sure. :)

Phenominal and worth waiting for. Happy New Year Spoony. Lets see more Final Fantasy in the future! Videos of you ripping on it anyway. They can keep making games as long as they’res plenty of goof value.

I loved this game and this was still funny

Aw shit, it’s Tuvix all over again! D:

*goes back to playing FF7. Now THERE’S a game with a kicking final boss battle*

I love FFX (which is not a sequel of FFIX so X-2 is not sequelising a sequel), maybe I just didn’t get them but I found this to be the least funny of the “review”, still kind of funny but your best. and Yu Yevon is explained more fully if you go back to Mt.Gagazet once you have the Airship.

You can actually beat Yu Yevon but casting Zombie on him and then using a Phoenix Down. Yeah, I’m ashamed I know this.

I can’t wait for your commentary on this video, Spoony. I’m interested in knowing if there were some parts from the game that you liked but omitted from the review because they weren’t funny.

Although I don’t hate this game (the gameplay is good; I can ignore the shit story), I thought this was hilarious.

It’s like the culmination of a ton of the stuff you’ve done. The gunblade reappears, Black Lantern Spoony is defeated, the Swat 4 grenades show up, Pumpkinhead does a dance, Insano and his son have an appearance, and it ends with a Linkara cameo. Now we just need to find out what the GateCleaner and Chuckles are up to.

Know what this site needs? A chronological list of videos, not organized by category. I keep trying to get other people to watch your stuff, but then Insano shows up, or there’s an FFVIII reference, and then I need to pause and explain what the hell all that means. For review shows, a lot of you guys (Doug and Louis are also big on this) actually have a fairly complex continuity at this point, and a lot of callbacks and running gags.

Wish I just had a list where I could say “Start here, watch everything in this order, and you’ll get it”.

Tidus Spoony … the gayness … THE GAYNESS!!!

Oh my god, I wish someone had taken a picture of the face I made when you walked in as Tidus. I actually had to pause the video I was laughing so hard. And then PUMPKINHEAD WALKED IN AND STARTED DANCING. I was not ready for that. Not at all. Spoony, you are one funny motherfucker. I love you so much. You made my day with this video, you really did. (Well all of your videos make my day, but this one especially.)

Also, I feel really creepy saying this but it needs to be said: Undead Spoony is very attractive when he’s angry.

Also also: about the game itself, I remember back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth when I actually LIKED anime (those were the dark ages of my life) and, although I myself have never really been a gamer, I started obsessing over the various FF characters my other otaku friends told me about. Then I got some sense slapped into me and realized how monumentally stupid I was and turned on FF and Kingdom Hearts completely. My friend tried desperately to change my mind by forcing me to play parts of Kingdom Hearts and FF X… and I wasn’t impressed. The only thing I really remember from that is when my friend briefly told me about Blitzball and I asked if I could try it and he told me “No, no, just keep going, Blitzball really isn’t that fun.” So even FANS OF FINAL FANTASY don’t like Blitzball! I find that absolutely killarious. I also remember when he told me about X-2 and I was outraged at the idiot name and refused to play it.

PUMPKINHEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!

I think there’s a very ingenious system of psychology that the makers of Final Fantasy games bank on. They introduce you to a world that’s initially interesting until you realize that you’re too far invested into the game to quit once the plot stops making any logical sense. To stop would be to acknowledge that you’ve wasted all the time up to that point, til eventually you’re just running through the battle system, making an occasional strategic decision while listlessly absorbing the various eye candy (ass shots included), staring dead eyed and sleepily into the TV wondering when it will just end.

By the end of it, the reaction is split between two kinds of people:
1. Those who can recognize that all they were playing it for is to level up their characters and pit them against waves of monsters, finding the best weapons and equipment and that the story surrounding it was pretty stupid. They can admit that they largely wasted their time on making numbers go up, or
2. Those who are completely lost in the Stockholm syndrome of it all, unable to admit that their time was wasted, insisting to others that what they’ve experienced was worth-while on every level. So committed are they to this fantasy (ya see what I did there?) that they include the game on top 10 lists and games of the year so that maybe others will be fooled into the same delusion, spreading the same hollow appreciation in a vain selfish attempt to logically justify their emotionally driven dedication.

This from someone who owned FF8 and FFX, played both, beat both, twice, collecting every secret weapon and summon. I’m not on the outside looking in making an uneducated opinion, I’m a fully de-tox’d veteran. FFX fails in even gaining some appreciation from the first kind of fan for exactly the reason you stated: the final boss, the great evil that you’ve been building up your characters to crush, IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE TO. This makes all that leveling up, all that lightning dodging, chocobo racing, lightning bug chasing, and blitzball winning completely and utterly worthless. I was royally pissed once I realized that the goddamn auto-life spell had eliminated virtually every achievement I would have benefited from as a reward for my tireless anal-retentive completionism, making my experience have literally no difference from the casual player.

Victory is just handed to you, no matter how hard or how little you worked for it, breaking the only simple rule that an RPG is supposed to follow.

I always “liked” how only Tidus, Wakka, and Rikku were tossed in the sewer. It was as if Square only felt like giving those three character models swimming animations.

Awesome conclusion, Spoony, and a great way to close out the year! Thanks for laughs, and here’s to 2011! :D

even though I still consider this my favorite FF, I get how ridiculous and inconsistent the story can be, its a shame your not in the popular opinion about this game, with all its high scores from reviewers, high placements in best game lists, it even got to the semi-finals of Gamefaqs game of the decade, and one of the few final fantasys to get a sequel to its own universe.

That was the most awesome review I have ever seen, thank you so much, I actually feel sorry for Tidus in the end of the video….no I don’t, go experiment crazy on em. make sure those experiments are deadly and painful :).

Excellent work Spoony. I do have to wonder why some people hold this one in such high accord, given how much you tore through it. Anyhow, it was a great run though the conclusion could have been better. Hard to live up to the immense work you did with the Squall fight (which I know took way too much time), but ultimately it was a good conclusion. The Pumpkinhead though was… Eh. You hype up the character then do nothing with him.

The Snake Eater end was fucking perfect though. Your Metal Gear callbacks are always the best.

I was kind of expecting Pollo to butt in after Linkara, and tell us that you were in the Blagole.

Best. Intro. Ever! I freakin LOVE Black Lantern Spoony. ^^

I’m missing the Spoony/Linkara connection. Are you suppose to be friendly rivals or outright enemies? Not that Spoony seems to have more than his full of the latter in the form of himself.

I’m also, since FFXIII caught some well deserved flack and only deserves to suffer its own direct assault, that FFXII wasn’t a total crapfest in the Spoony One’s eyes so wont be getting a review?

Nice ending, here’s I hoping for a IX or (god forbid) XIII review

very funny and entertaining review Spoony and a great cliff hanger “Where is Spoony?” Duh duh dah!

Haha, Spoony sure loves his SMT:Persona

YOU FOOL!

What, you were expecting maybe the Ghostbusters?

Excellent work, Spoony! :D

Brilliant work spoony.

I see no flaws in this video. Well… maybe harp on the ending of FFX a bit more, it really did suck and you let it off the hook a bit too quickly. But other than that, excellent job.

Since the sucessfully re-merged Spoony is currently MIA, who’s gonna run the show until he returns?

OMG that Tidus laugh was hilarious
and I don’t watch your videos to see you suffer
I love hearing your opinion even if it differs from
mine because you always have something interesting to say
and you’re f*cking hilarious

And a Happy New Year…

Seriously, this is a wonderful way to start a new year.

The “I am a Shadow” line sent me into the greatest laughter fit I have experienced in months; in fact did Spoony ever finish P4 because it is one of the best RPGs I have ever played.
Still if his sights are set on FFXIII next then Yevon help him.

I do like your reviews, I REALY do. So its realy hard for me to say that most of the time in this review I did not enjoy watching this one. I share youre hate for this game, and just get annpyed when ever some one mentiones final fantacy these days. I do get it that you HATE the game, but your reviews are getting a little too hostile to my liking these days. I agreed with your review on tron but at points it was REALY painful for you to be THAT angry. thats my problem, your reviews lose the “haha, omg, that is so bad but I cant stop lol:ing at it! I would SO rather watch this version of the movie, than the actual one!” but these days I just have a bad feeling about the whole thing. I can get that from any internet reviewer out there, but yours were more special. In a way, in the beginning you seemed to in a some strange level ENJOY the bad movies and games you reviewed, but these days your enjoyment of ripping a new one to games and movies seem to have dissapeard mostly and just left this swearing troll (gods, I hate to call you that) that just spits anger and hatred.

A lot of people still seem to have enjoyed this video, so I guess its just me. As I have ofter said to people “you and I are getting this stuff for free, so stop the hating! if you dont like it, dont watch!” I do want to make it clear on others that im not hating on spoony. Im more like… Dissapointed or… Saddened by spoony. but do what you. But please, do things you might actually enjoy doing.

That is all. With all respect from me, here, in Erope, Finland.

Looks like someone decided to get Action Movie Essentials 2

Spoony your doing FFX-2 next? I really REALLY think you should brave through FFIX and complete that game. I loved FFIX, its my favorite but I want to see what you have to say about it. Just a Vlog or something will do lol

Epic review as always, have you ever thought of reviewing persona 3 or 4? persona 3 was 1 of my fav games although persona 4 was not so much, though i would love to see what you think about this.

That was a great video. I laughed a lot and enjoyed it throughout. You made it pretty clear that you love the game, all your “complaints” were either practically non-existent or massive nitpicking but there really isn’t anything majorly wrong with this game. A lot of people say that if it had skip scene, it would be the perfect game. I don’t agree on that, even though I really like it. I really like how some people just don’t get it when you keep trying to hint that the game is actually really good, which it is of course. It got 3rd place at Game of the Decade on Gamefaqs, losing to Majora’s Mask with 49.85% in the semifinals. Majora’s Mask went on to win. Gamefaqs is a pretty small site but there were over 100k voters so that is saying a bit.
Anyway great video and I’m glad to know you like the game like I do. The story’s inconsistencies are a way of telling it really, the story lets you decide what happened at some parts (Macalania kissing scene, there was a huge topic about it on a board and some guy who actually takes lessons at this kind of stuff told us all about it) and that’s one of the reasons I love FF games so much. I really like the characters, even Tidus despite him being annoying some times. The FF-style characters just really appeal to me, which is why I consider it to be by far the great videogame franchise of all time. Among other reasons that you stated in the first part. Thanks for these videos and I hope to see more FF-related videos from you.

Oh, god forbid someone having an opinion that differs from yours!

I love FF and I love Disney but love isn’t the word I’d use for KH. Love is an emotion you can describe. I like KH games so much, it’s impossible to describe the feeling.

Dear lord, this game is awful. I shall do the Pumpkinhead dance! *dances*

Great review, there were many times I had to pause the video cause I was just laughing so much.

I am surprised though that you barely mentioned the whole story arc of Tidus being a “dream”. When I played this game years ago, I brushed over the story in favour of the gameplay and combat but it was that moment when you find out about Tidus being some kind of imagination that really made me hate the story. It comes completely out of nowhere and leads to the shitcake that is Final Fantasy X2

I loved the review quite funny as usually spoony. And on a side note shut the hell up Panda mann all of your posts are fucking idiotic and you try to say spoony agrees with you or you say his reviews are shit get the hell off his site you idiotic Annoying poster.

While I did absolutely love all of the FFX videos, got a ton of great laughs out of them, I am a bit disappointed that you didn’t talk more about the horribly convoluted sphere grid.

Oh god, I just now noticed what you named your summons.

Mothra
FiryShit
Unicorn!
Van. Ice
Baha Men

Great review but what happened to your final thoughts for the game? The ending fight was funny but I would’ve liked you to do a complete wrap up of the game before it happened. Anyways, the Tidus outfit was hilarious.

“He gets stronger as he fails” Uwe Boll Complex.

FFX was kind of a guilty pleasure. The game is fun to play and I enjoyed most of it in spite of Tidus, mostly cause Auron was so badass, I just wish he would bust Tidus’s balls more like Snake did to Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2. I actually love it when you make fun of things that I liked because it makes the whole review that much funnier. All the criticisms here are deserved and your observations hilarious especially the comparison of Seymore to Uwe Boll (although he does have Michael Bay’s obsession with flashy lights, hmm) and Yunalesca killing you with the power of Megadeth. This was also the best ending to a video since Phantasmagorea. I had to pause it a few times cause I was laughing so hard.

Now Spoony you are my hero! Please rip XIII a new hole. I think that Square has gone so far off the deep end they fucken lost the original vision. Come on now what the hell.

Awesome! Linkara had the Dalek Ironsides and Dalek strategist figures too!
On that note, where is Daleks VS Borg? Those assimilatin’ jerks need a good EXTERMINATING!

Woot for Red Dwarf :D

Awesome video. What an epic ending.

As for the review, I’m looking forward to the commentary, both on completing the game (I think there was some prime rant material in the whole “Tidus and his Zanarkand are a dream of the Fayth blah blah blah” thing Spoony skipped over), and on all the crazy editing and double shots Spoony had to do for the Crisis on Infinite Spoony.

Great finale, definitely worth the wait. Jecht’s “favorite song” being ‘Escape’ nearly killed me from laughing. That or ‘Cheeseburger In Paradise’ would have made the multi-part battle with Sin much more enjoyable.

My only complaint about your review is that you glossed over the absurdity of the whole “Tidus, Jecht, and their Zanarkand were all just a dream” thing. When you think about Jecht alone, you have to accept the fact that he was an aeon taken out of a dream to become the final aeon which then became Sin. Not only that, but he somehow got back to the dream world to find his son and bring the brat back to the real world so Tidus would kill him. Oh, and then we have Tidus’ mom who appeared in the Farplane even though she was really a dream and died in the dream world. Or maybe she was real all along and died in the first Zanarkand in the real world…which would mean that Tidus and Jecht really existed too, so why didn’t they appear to Tidus and Yuna in the Farplane?

The real beauty of it is what jerks the Fayth are for unleashing such a terror on an unsuspecting world.

did they really have sex? oh god; i remember that now. excuse me, i need to varmint.

you really should play ff9,it has everything that 8 and 10 don´t have,and is an el dorado for every old school gamer,srsly

you should play ff9 it´s everything that 8 and 10 are not and i think you as an old-school gamer will REALLY dig it,trust me,no whiny emo characters and tons of references to older games… it was made for guys like you srsly

Well this sucked

I can’t wait for the commentary for the series.

Ah, yes, the beloved Final Fantasy villain “I love Nihilism” speech. We just can’t get enough of it.

I forgot to mention how much I love your portrayl of Tidus at the end. It’s amazing how ridiculous that outfit looks when a real human being is wearing it, and the voice you used was priceless. And that LAUGH!

One thing you can say about Tidus is that, unlike say Squall, nobody really does treat him seriously, since it’s kind of impossible. He does look less silly than Seymour though, so you can see why they are natural enemies.

I look forward to seeing zombie Tidus and Insano together. Once again awesome stuff Spoony!

Yo spoony, on the opening video, what are the other 2 video games besides Persona 4 on the top of the shelf labeled as “good games”? X-COM and Civilization II?

I want to extend my thanks to the Spoony One. I played through part of FFX several years ago but got distracted by something and stopped. I wasn’t that into it so I never went back to play it.
Thanks to Spoony, I don’t have to complete this masterpiece of plot holes and bad acting only to be disappointed by the final boss being a wood tick inside Godzilla. A wood tick that will defeat itself if given the opportunity. Lavos had a weird final form too but he at least had enough dignity to be difficult.
Dissidia: Final Fantasy had a much better Tidus/Jecht resolution where he basically says, “Good job kid, I guess you aren’t as big a pussy as you used to be. (cough cough die)”

My friend were watching this and, once the end came near, Pumpkinhead barges through. We look to each other, confused, then say, “Is that… Is that Pumpkinhead?” Sure enough, his dance only confirmed our thoughts and brought much laughter, along with the rest of the review. Great job here, Spoony, really brilliant.

no one expects the Yavin inquistion!

ROCKED TO DEATH -XD

Awesome, I’m glad you finished it, but I still think it’s one of the best games ever made, and its on my top twenty.

When everyone started cheering at the end at the notion that Tidus was going to die I quite nearly teared up as well.

I feel sad that I didn’t get the Pumpkin Head joke until after the dance music started playing. But once I got it, oh MAN did I rofl. Seriously Spoony, you are brilliant.

I’m actually trying to think of a worse final boss than Yu Yevon….nope nothing.

And I’m rooting for Dr. Insano! Tear that little fucker up! :D

Thank you Spoony, I had been looking forward to this for so long! I especially liked Seymour’s “I mean, I plead the fifth!” bit. I could go on forever about how perfectly executed every little twitch and gesture was… ;)

But you missed some excellent ass counts at 10:54 and 18:15!

Am I the only one who noticed the whispered message at the end. I guess so…

The fact that this game was actually voted number 4 of all time on GamesRadar and IGN serves to prove a theory I’ve had for some time:
Mainstream gaming websites have become such an unreliable source of perspective on the industry that only idiots actually visit them on a regular basis any more.

Oh. My. God. Dr. Insano’s son is a better weapon than a blitzball.

Oh. My. God. Dr. Insano’s son is a better weapon than a blitzball.

For some reason, you always manage to step up your game for the Final Fantasy reviews! This was EPIC! Loved the Tidus costume and the Megadeth refernce… The whole thing was simply awesome!

We are not amused by this video >:(

Eh, whatever. I’m not gonna get pissy and attempt to change your mind. Besides, it’s not like arguing on the internet would actually sway your opinion

I used to love the final fantasy series…. X seemed so stupid though I began to lose the faith and I still dont know why so many people love its silly plot?

I actually quite liked 10-2 becouse with 10-2 you get the feeling its suppost to be silly and camp and its just good dumb fun if you roll with it and dont take it seriously and I loved the battle system. You have to look at it as a so bad its good type of thing and be in the right mood.

I was kinda hoping Spoony would take the Persona 4 reference further and accept Green Lantern Spoony as his dark side and turn him into a persona that Spoony would summon to do menial tasks and slave labour. I wonder what Persona Spoony would summon anyway?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HYtCMl0PMs – This is 500 times better than Spoony’s video and a thousand times less pathetic.

PS: If you like Spoony then you must like being anally raped by Doctor Hardcock (a gay rapist doctor i just made up).

Well.. I did enjoy the bits when you talked about FFX and dressed up as Tidus, similar to how I liked your FF8 reviews because what we really watch these vids for is to see you make fun of various games and you do that really well and I do laugh at those bits a lot!

I know its your review/ your site and project but I’m not really a fan of thee long-winded skits with your various personas;;; they are funny in small doses but not so much when they take up a large slice of the review;;; FYI just my opinion, xx

I shall forever mourn the death of “The Spoony bum”. He was so young, so innocent, and we hardly knew him.

Also I don’t think a review of FF 13 would be a good idea. Maybe its just me (and Yahtzee) but I couldn’t get past the first couple hours of play. I don’t know enough about the game to laugh at it outside of saying “Yeah that was boring”.

awesome lol, IMO super metroid is the best game of all time, and hmmm clearly other Final fantasy games deserve that title. Crying out loud Robotrek was better then ffx, only reason the game sold well cause they put hot girls all over the game knowing we would be lured in, bastards lol hey spoony can you review super metroid for no reason! lol

It’s not really “sequalizing a sequel” when none of the usual entries in the series have anything do with each other beyond a few trivial similarities. I doubt Square sees FFXIII as any sort of failure whatsoever considering it got pretty good reviews and was the fastest selling FF title ever. Personally, I think it’s good, but not great. However, I always agreed that XIV looked fucking awful and I’m loving how it met with such poor reception that they had to apologize.

Wicked review of a crappy game, loved the Pumpkinhead joke, will you eventually review Pumpkinhead ashes to ashes & Pumpkinhead blood feud?

In the end, the one who truly wins?

Doctor Insano!

But FF13 was great!

Sage Porter is correct

http://www.gametrailers.com/news/final-fantasy-xiii-2-announced/2888

LMAO. I love the persona 4 reference. you should do a review for some shin megami tensei games

You know what Dr Insano’s son needs?

His very own lab coat and goggles!

Oh, and a chair for him to sit in that raises up and down so he can sit next to the good doctor as they plan to take over the world.

I am just going to go on a limb and say what I really feel: I am not as big a fan of Final Fantasy as I am of other RPGs like Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, or Dragon Age. I just do not see the hype. I like a couple of them and I understand that it established the most well known combat system but other then that I just don’t see why it is so well liked. It is a good series but why is it that it has such a large fan-base?

FF7 attracted me to the series big time. In my opinion its the best rpg-light ever produced(i admit i havent played the previous installments) FF8 sort of killed it for me with the horrific storyline, i mean the part with the orphanage and timedistorsion etc. Fast forward past this one, which isnt all that bad considering the brainhemorrhage (X-2) that followed.
To make a long story short. Please rip into that fucker anytime soon.

I disagree with the Spoony One on this game I thouth it was an average FF game. I like the battle system and this game has Auron which is the # 1 reason to play this game. I would recommend this game just to listen to some of Auron’s dialogue throughout the game.

FF X-2 on the other hand. Spoony can rip its ass a fucking new one for being the biggest money making piece of shit that takes the FF series stellar job system and fucks it up. Damn fucking dresspheres. I bought this game thinking it was going to be as good as FF X and I lost all hope of their ever being another good FF again. FF XII is one of the best in the series, but after XIII and XIV, I have lost all faith in Square Enix and my faith in any new good FF games.

I’ve been a fan of spoony since I spotted the first final fantasy 8 review on youtube. After that I was hooked and watched the entire final fantasy 8 review almost as soon as they came out. What made it so great? 1: spoony’s satirical approach to a game that was dearly beloved not only to me, but to a huge collection of gamers from yesteryear, and 2: final fantasy 8 never got (at least to my knowledge) a full review from start to finish. Combine that with spoony’s logical approach to this kind of game to create a truly hilarious, entertaining video that takes up about 4-5+ hours?

However, I didn’t post this to simply flatter spoony, he has a big enough fan base to do that already, the reason I am posting this was because ‘now is the winter of my discontent’. As I eagerly awaited the release of the ffx videos, much like my anticipation for the ff8 ones, I found something missing. I couldn’t really put my finger on it for awhile, until it hit me.

The enthusiasm/hatred for the final fantasy series spoony had seemed to wane. I mean, do you the ‘draw’ video spoony had at the beginning of the series on ff8? This time spoony seemed to just want to be done with reviewing this game, and hey I guess I can’t really blame him if it truly is the “bane of his existence”. However, there seems to be something odd about when spoony was asked about when he became serious with spoonyexperiment.com he immediately mentioned ff8. And that makes sense. It’s blatantly obvious if you watch the first ff8 all the way till the end. A huge increase in time, money, and quality. I just wish more time was put into this video, the ending to ff8 was truly epic, and showed how much spoony invested into making videos for his fans. This, I just don’t get, the conclusion to such a hilarious beginning just seems to mislead at the end and produce a boring finish.

I know he has announced to review ffx-2 and hopefully that will be awesome, but I hope spoony doesn’t just review these kinds of games to appease his final fantasy fanclub, which I remind you, is probably THE only reason this site is still here. Final Fantasy put spoony on the map. I hope he doesn’t just become another movie critic, he’s mentioned that that’s what he’s wanted to do this whole time, and that ff8 was more or less just a rage QQ, but to use such a series and provide videos that everybody wanted to see, just as a stepping stone to become another negative movie commentator? Fail.

I agree with you when I think Tidus is a little girly boy

I just noticed something on re-watching this: at 25:48, on the bookshelf, in the top center I can see some Starfist books. I thought I was the only one who read that series. Haven’t read ‘em in forever though. Spoony, you constantly amaze me.

wtf is these game why are there so many fans

Why does Noah keep making these campy in-stories? He had to dress up in five different costumes just for this one video.

I like a little Dr. Insano when it’s appropriate, but do you really expect us to sit through over five minutes of assorted characters? Is there really a group of viewers that want the review to be interrupted by a story arc made of self referential jokes and nerd trivia. All of the ingredients individually are cool, but they should be used to enhance the review. Instead Spoony acts as if if the review was already too saturated with camp value, and it had to be disposed into this boring Black Lantern Spoony plot.

No offense Noah, but these little in-stories are a waste of your material and our time. Why did Coke Zero Spoony, Bum Spoony, Pumpkinhead or Dr. Insano have to get involved? You could have focused on the game you were reviewing. Putting aside the shirtless man chest I was exposed to, I liked it when you focused on the issues present in the game. It reminded me of how you ended the Phantasmagoria review, which is one of your classic works.

Then again, Final Fantasy X (like everything else after FF IIV) is a vapid, rambling, time wasting, and intellectually insulting piece of shit. Maybe you were tired. Any (sane) human made of flesh and bone would be tired, headachy, angry, and depressed.Maybe you decided to create a story arc to make the reviews more interesting because you felt your anger and ennui would negatively affect the review. Then again, Emo Spoony did seem to meniton that your audience likes to see you get frustrated over some terrible movie/video game.

Or maybe the increased usage of in-stories is caused by all of these things. I don’t know. But I hope it doesn’t get worse.

Sudden realization: they’d all be stone dead if Sin had simply done a barrel roll.

Be glad that you didn’t play FF IX. Near the end it turns into a DBZ ripoff.

If I was trying to kill God, I wouldn’t even assemble an army. I would just call Kratos and tell him God stole his wallet or something and let nature take it’s course.

keep doing your great work

i hope crazily for ffx-2 review

your fucking hilarious

I just rewatched this and caught the Persona 4 reference. I would love to see you do the Persona series.

ok, well i know your never going to play it spoony, so here is me on FF9. its one of the few rpgs i played to the end. so here we go. first of all the good things. the music is medieval and its great, there is a medieval theme through the whole thing and also steam punk. not enough to justify putting time into it, but whatever. the rpg system is good and there are alot of monsters but the names suck and the main character looks like shit in comparison to cloud. he is a gay panthiestic primate who is made to look like a 8 year old boy whos a pansy. other then that the game is pritty solid…oh you know in the usual “i sure hope i can get through this stupid part without getting into another encounter” idea. the story is ok until you get to this thing called the “lifa tree”(big tree with a vortex above) go through the vortex, then it goes into the video game “dream world where anything can happen” sorta idea. and it sucks shit from there on. makes you oblivious and man it works. the monkey kid is supposed to be alien but everyone looks like a fuckin alien…and he doesnt care…so lets move on with the story, idea. then the end is justice to the gay panthiestic undertones of the character creation where the enemy who looks like him dies and he dies with him because he feels all bad for him because hes a total asshole to everyone, makes sense hey. that sentence ruled! then everyones all sad and then he comes back to life. yay. bosses werent bad. long game. thankfully not very soap opera’esk. its the medieval theme that pulls you throught the game. and thats it. the tree levels are cool and the casino town is nice but the card game makes no sense and youll never want to play it. flying around the map is fun to. thnx!

I’m spade and the tiles are burning off the craft!

I like Final Fantasy XIV. But then again, I started playing it only now, after several months of it being updated and updated (/fixed).

I would encourage everyone to give the game a second try… but that might just be me wanting to make people play it (and feed Squeenix) so it doesn’t close down in half a year.

Great review spoony. But i have one small problem: not a single one of the games in the FF franchise is an RPG. They are the japanese atempt to make what they consider to be a good RPG game, and compared to what real RPG is, it’s an abject failure. Comapre any FF to any D&D and you’ll get my point. The japanese pseudo rpg is all about griding your ass for absurd periods of time with no real or fullfiling reward. The story in these games is just from another planet, you can’t identify with anyone in it. I mean seriously there is no imersion in any of these games. And it’s sad cause ppl now say the RPG genre has be resurected. It hasn’t! Mass Efect, Dragon Age, while being actualy decent and entartaining games, are action-rpgs aka lobotomised rpgs made for kids obsesed with bad-ass holywood cliches. FF is not even rpg in my book, because it’s made by a culture that worships work, so they fill their games with a lot of boring, tedious and absurdly long busy work. Sorry but i want a game so i can have fun, not work my ass on it.

I’ll go out and say it: the ONLY good and true rpg games out there are: The Fallout franchise, The Elders Scrolls series, Gothic (at least all the games made by Piranha Bytes, Arcania is a piece of shit action-rpg), Risen, and for the old school: Baldur’s Gate and Dungeon Siege.

Just to make a comparison: let’s say FFX and Fallout New Vegas. Well it took me the same amount of time to finish both: 3-4 weeks. But FFX had stupid characters you had no influence on, a shit story full of plot holes, cliches and repetition, draged down for hours on end and no side quests what so ever (i’m not counting blitzball, or any of those busy work chalanges like gather 500 stuff or kill x ice cream scoops, or any of the achievment hunting). In New Vegas my character was my own guy, which i could create just the way i wanted and flesh out his personality, i had choice, and my actions had an impact on the world, the story was full of moral ambiguity, had weight and was interesting to follow, never beeing draged down just to extend the game. The characters were memorable, the world was all mine to explore and my only limitation was my curent skill. Best, there are tons of side-quests, all of them interesting in a way or another with some interesting rewards, even if they are only loud laughs at a reference to a past Fallout game or pop culture.

I hope i made my point here. If you want to play a good and real RPG: get Fallout, get Gothic. Skip the stupid time consuming shit. Unless you like wasting weeks of your life griding out and beeing draged through a stupid and linear story in wich if any character’s decision was controled by you, the story would end in 5 minutes.

Oh man, there’s not even word for how epic this sh*t is! ‘s the most badass, awesome, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious finish of epic proportions I have ever seen! And it was pretty damn cool too!
I myself, and I’m sure a fair amount of others too, really do care what you have to say, Spoony one. I’m actually really tempted to track down a copy of S.W.A.T 4 and play a by-the-book-game for once, instead of keeping up with the once that let you tear down ancient ruins, hive-cities, space stations and military bases on a regular basis just to get one murderer.
Seriously, things are getting out of hand.
Laughed my ass of, as usual. Keep the awesome-sauce pouring, good Sir!

That was the best ending in the history of ever.

Hey Spoony, first of all, AWESOME review, I haven’t LMAO’d that hard in a WHILE. Thanks for letting me know what I was getting into. I was actually thinking about watching the rest of that walkthrough on Youtube before, but now.. pssh..
 
Also, I keep hearing that you’ve made comments about the game FFXIII. Did you do a video review of it? I tried looking it up on Youtube and can’t find it..

Hey Spoony! Awesome review! I haven’t giggled so hard in a while! I was actually thinking about watching the rest of the game walkthrough on Youtube ( despite the HORRID voice acting ). Thanks for letting me know what I was getting into :3

Anyway, I keep hearing that you’ve commented on the game FFXIII. Have you ever done a video review of it? I tried looking it up on Youtube and couldn’t find anything.

I’M SO SORRY ABOUT THE SPAMMING. I thought it didn’t go through because it kept telling me to verify email adress before I could post comments! DX

im sorry but come on its not that bad its my favorite game. it may have
bad voice acting but the game play and story are amazing. this is my
opinion but i think it is one of the best games ever they ending is

same problem as Chocolu1 sorry for spam

There is a question…if Tidus is not ‘sent’ then HOW did he not get ‘sent’ when Yuna did her sending rituals? After all it worked the first time for a great many people. How did Tidus not get ‘sent’ with all those people? Or all the other times she did it? That is another PLOT HOLE.

I think I’m going to be physically ill, Square is making XIII-2. D:

as in the devil?

Best review I had ever seen

dude Dark Spoony removed a handle from the gun not the magazine shoot him more!

FF X is amazing bro i’m sorry but i will always love it and call it a classic, same with FF 8 and 9

I know what they should sing.

“Gamera is really neat, Gamera is full of meat…”

While I do not agree with every facet of your game review (I am a fan of this one, more than 8, 9, 11, 12, every final fantasy pretty much since they left SNES has sucked.) Your review was non the less quite entertaining to watch and was quite insightful on some of the more dumb aspects of the game. Shitty voice acting aside, it was an enjoyable game.

Between the Star Trek II and Persona/SMT references throughout these reviews, I consider it an evening well spent.

Even if it was a solid hour+ of motherfucking Tidus and Yuna. I couldn’t even finish FFX, it was so terrible.

i love when all the arguing is based on the phase stop liking what i don’t like, and just because you like something doesn’t make it good and if you hate it isn’t bad i mean spoony brings up good points and bad points, and the fact is this is all subjective.

Gotta love all of the airsoft shit

I said it once I’ll say it again, Black Lantern Spoony really kicks ass. He’s actually really sexy too, I know it’s probably just me but I can’t help myself! Anyways, this finale was really fun to watch, I guess my favorite part was where spoony gave a christmas present to Black Lantern Spoony only for him to get blasted by bombs XD

Um…I think this is supposed to be FF X part 4, not FF X2 part 4…
