The NES, Sega, GBA, 3DO, N64, and PSX were the consoles that entered the house in steps from my baby days up to early high school. So, I wouldn't have gotten to know the SNES greats like Chrono Trigger, LoZ:LttP, FF4-6, Super Metroid, and Megaman X1-X3 at all if not for emulators. Of course, my early teen curiosity also had me trying games like Bahamat Lagoon, Fire Emblem, and FF Mystic Quest as well.

Personally, I think the music in IV is even better than V & VI but that's probably just my nostalgia. I think objectively those two would be considered by most (including me) the "better" games overall.

My first exposure to Final Fantasy "II" was at a friend's house in early high school. Another friend had brought over a VHS tape of gameplay. So I sit and watch FF2 here while they're playing D&D. I had played FF1 on the NES so I was intrigued. But I was so impressed by the fact that these were defined characters having dialog with each other, actually portraying blocked dramatic scenes. And the Active Time Battle was mind-blowing. This was also one of my first tastes of SNES graphics. It suffices to say that this made a huge impression on me. Thank you, UCBVG, for covering this!

Fantastic choice for the next video. I've been waiting for something like this from your channel. Thank you. And even though I've probably beaten this game 20 to 30 times, I think I'm going to play along with this one

Thank you so much for making this video of one of my absolute favorite games of all time! This was my very first Final Fantasy game I ever played!

I was starting to worry when you hadn't updated in a while. Turns out I needn't have, you were just preparing something especially awesome. Well done playing this thus far.

You forgot one small and curious detail with Edward. If Rydia or an enemy casts "Toad" on Edward, while on this status, with the "sing" command he can use the "Frog Song" which turns enemies into toads (with a 25% accuracy of course). Great job as usual.

@@SirJoelsuf1 I know, right? I always expect to hear something from him that I didn't know if it's a game I played a ton in my early teens -- The Dragon Warrior games had quite a bit as well as the OG Final Fantasy. I read the comment section for tidbits like this though....who would've thought?!

Back in the day, couldn’t afford getting this at the time, and even if I had I had school so I wouldn’t have had the time. Always wanted it though.

The US version of FF4 also took out some abilities from the party members. Cecil had a dark wave skill as Dark Knight that sacrificed hp in exchange for a non-elemental attack that hits all opponents on screen. Ironically, that made the brief part where Cecil is the lone member of the party harder in the US version, as he didn't have a good way to deal with multiple enemies, or the rare flan that would resist physical attacks.

I think I am just echoing what so many others have said previously but this is bar none, one of my favorite channels to play in the background regardless of what I'm doing. So, for that alone, a heartfelt thank you for all of your wonderful effort!! You've put out incredible retrospective type videos while showing people literally EVERY trick in the book for each of these games but you're going to another level (for me) when you talk about Final Fantasy IV. While I have been patiently waiting for your Dragon Warrior IV video since you finished Dragon Warrior III; I would say this is an even better surprise due to my "subjective" love of this game! 😆 As much as I love the early Dragon Warrior games, Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, my nostalgia for Final Fantasy IV is second to none. I've beaten this game in many different versions and started diving into Romhacks as well but I would bet you will be showing us things we STILL didn't know about. I'm happy I get to play this in my headphones while at work but will be much better when I get to play this on a tv screen later on!

@ScottBeck79 5 ай бұрын

I ended up listening to this after work last night. Somehow I didn't realize this when I made my first comment (being distracted at work no doubt) but I should have known better that this was only going to be "part 1". I think this could end up being your first series with 4 episodes -- this is a longer game than Dragon Warrior 3 with many more "secrets".

Omgomgomg. You are doing my favorite game of all time. Got it when it came out and played it al least once a year since. Amazing! Laugh at the scenario all you want, it still became the template for 80% of all SNES RPG and the FF series as a whole.
