Will you be doing Brave Fencer Musashi as a part of the marathon?

I wish I would be a bit more knowledgeable about things but I don't know much about the Final Fantasy series until FFVI and FFVII onward.

Do you know when you are ever going to continue the rest of Resident Evil game reviews

I can't tell

Johnny: Wear a mask if you go outside guys! *Shows himself outside without one* [Great video by the way]

Yep

It feels so werid seeing a face behind the voice lmao

@@joelikespotatoes8321 And the guy looks still so young! I envy him.

Some people are like that. They look eternally young until 80 or 90 and then they look like fossils

He also showed up in several SGB playthroughs. My favorite being the SOTN LP.

Johnny's uncle is Alolan Jonny

Rockin' that Romero hair.

He looks alot like John Romero.

I don't think that's really Johnny's uncle.

@@cannibalisticrequiem Watch the review of FF1 again. He has a photo of his uncle in the prelude segment.

Agreed

Honestly I didn't know he grew his hair out that long

He's done content with Johnny on Super Gaming Bros and on Johnny's twitch.

He's shown up tons of times.

@@damonskyheart9097 He's funny as hell on those SGB vids

@@damonskyheart9097 Ah. I only follow this channel. So I never knew! That's really cool though. I can't make it to streams most of the time either. Time zones and all that.

@@joniejoon2 I would recommend checking out their lets play channel. They're done doing stuff with it, but there's still a great backlog of content on there.

Johnny, turn the TV off right now!

no...

Why do I hear boss music?

@@Gamejunkie1995 *Gate's Boss theme plays*

No. Why do you hear wailing?

I always knew he was a Chad.

I presume it's the same guy who bought Symphony of the Night after seeing the Bloody Zombie's bloody death animation. That story's still stuck with me all this time.

Johnny is a pretty cool uncle figure too. Like uncle, like nephew I guess.

My dad's best friend (whom we call Uncle) was a big NES junkie and the man who got me into gaming. His son could get to 8-1 of Super Mario Brothers at Age 2. He also only spoke French till he was a teenager and would always recite English commercials without understanding what he was saying. My 20-something cousin got me into JRPGs (FF4, specifically) when I was 8, and another one of my older cousins gave me his collection of pirated Commodore 64 games the next year. My favourites were Wasteland, Bard's Tale 3, and Phantasie 3 even though I didn't have access to disc 4 of Wasteland or the copy protection stuff for Bard's Tale 3.

That's because the Hair on Johnny's Uncle symbolizes virility, just like John Romero.

He’s been a guest on many SGB playthroughs like Metroid Fusion, Symphony of the Night, and LA Noire revisit

Johnny's uncle looks like he discovered the fountain of youth before Johnny was born, and dyes his hair with a dash of grey to try to hide the fact.

Without any repellent I take it.

I WISH I could stop everything I'm doing and punch out the mosquitoes. They'd be so much less annoying.

Raycon good! Wires bad!

Raycon is perfect for the soundtrack

That's...exactly it.

Johnny when he compares Sonic 2 & Sonic 3 & Knuckles “This is brilliant, but I like this.”

@@SomecallmeJohnny Hey, Johnny. You thought about playing and reviewing some Ace Combat games? Or know anyone who might?

Metroid zero mission unknown item theme

Why wouldn't they?

Calling Mystic Quest that is an insult to beginner-friendly RPGs.

Eeeyyy come oooonn!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

This isn't Pokemon

@@bernietea HEYO!

@@bernietea Pokémon is better

Yes

Has there been a game made like that that takes the piss out of these types of RPG's?

@@JMandJJ7797 south park stick of truth comes to mind

Is that not what it already was? Maybe not the "Konosuba" part, but it was clearly making fun of the FF conventions.

@@JMandJJ7797 does disgea count?

That's kind of an odd way to congratulate Johnny lol. That's kinda like saying: "Oh wow Kim Kardashian I'm such a huge fan of yours, I love your tv show and your fashion sense and how loyal you've been to your fans all these years! And I see you've finally got that big ass of yours starting to look less like a camel hump, good going!"

@@p.v.7269 It wasn't my intention to be odd. I apologize if it does. I've been a long time viewer and I had never commented until now.

@@meltingman11 lol you're fine, it's just that when you're complimenting a content creator on their content and hard work, bringing up their weight is unnecessary and depending on the context it can come across rude or insensitive. It's like complimenting Leonardo Da Vinci on his masterpiece the Mona Lisa and then telling him his teeth look less crooked now. It's just odd and out of left field. Try not to say things like that in the future

@@p.v.7269 I hadn't considered that. I'll remember that for next time. Thank you for letting me know.

@@meltingman11 Sure thing friend, I'm sure Johnny appreciated your comment just the same, so it's all good, just gotta be mindful of how what you say might come across to others. Stay Fresh!

He's been online for years dude. Watch Johnny's let's play channel SGB where Uncle Greg joins them for a bunch of stuff. My favorites being L.A. Noire, Metroid Fusion, and Sonic Generations.

On top of that, he's been streaming on Twitch for quite some time

You miss a lot when you don't have the patience to watch streams, I suppose.

His KZfaq handle is UncleSilverGaming :) I think he's been on KZfaq for a good while now.

You probably just meant that as a bit of dark humor, but hey, if anything, hope you're okay, fellow Johnny fan.

@@HyperHunt621 The fact that you even asked that is proof that this fanbase is among the best in all of KZfaq. (And yes, that was dark humor)

honestly i think it's fine for a beginner rpg, and i'm a sucker for these old school rpgs.

@@ddjsoyenby Honestly i feel like if it had eased up on the hand holding then it would be considered a great, if not just an alright beginners rpg

@@ddjsoyenby It doesn't prepare you for RPGs, so it fails at its job. Final Fantasy 4 does a much better job, on top of being a much better game.

​@@okagron I 100% can't argue with that, even though I enjoyed FFMQ quite a bit. FF4, on the other hand, was one of the first RPGs I ever played, and is a fantastic introduction to the genre, much more so than MQ. Still, though, there's something very charming about MQ, especially the music. I still listen to the OST from time-to-time.

i doubt it but would love to see it happen

When he reviews Ghosts And Goblins Resurrection

i mean he might pop in for a trip down memory lane if anything. though he DID pass on since Ghost and goblins

@King Slayer What's left to say about the Classic Sonic games that hasn't already been said (aside from the fact that they're overrated)?

@King Slayer That's the only game he hasn't discussed. Not that it matters, since he's re-reviewing Classic Sonic...Oy vey. At least he's doing Metroid alongside it.

my first impression was Cloud in Smash 3DS

Well, not like most people in Europe even knew it was a Final Fantasy game, considering it was named "Mystic Quest Legend" over here.

@@Cyril86 I keep forgetting that happened! Still, not a good look for Square RPG's in general

At least my first Square game in Europe was Secret of Mana, so I got to play an amazing game way before Mystiq Quest. Just like Johnny said tho, the soundtrack is excellent.

@@KorenLesthe I believe my first Square game was also Secret of Mana. Such a good first impression to the company, even though that game does have it's own share of problems.

You'd never expect an RPG back then to suddenly pull out speed metal for some of its tracks.

+1 I also love the temple music, a calm one. I stayed idle into temples just to listen it.

FFV is so good as well. Will always be one of my favorites in the series because of the job system and freedom you get.

4,5, and 6 are all good

Too be fair, for the NES era they let difficulty slide to make the games seem longer then they actually would for a competent/experienced player.

FF1 NES is piss easy unless you play with thiefs only.

@@EclipsisTenebris Yeah, it's actually pretty easy. It's only "hard" because you tend to not do as many random encounters since encounters in the NES version are so slow compared to the remakes. The remakes are very easy tho, mainly because encounters are a lot faster and the encounter rate is much higher, plus you have MP instead of spell charges so magic users are actually viable this time. FF1 Dawn of Souls was actually the first Final Fantasy I beat, so yeah. Second was FFXII, though I'm also really close to completing OG FFVII and FFIV Advance as well. I've also beat a couple spinoffs like Final Fantasy Explorers and stuff.

It is, and Japan still thinks that about us

Originally FF5 was going to be released in America, but since Square thought it would be too Hard, they gave us this instead.

Apparently it is true despite Dungeons & Dragons, an American game, being the inspiration behind video game RPGs.

@@biggusdickusiv5883 Can we blame them?

Which is laughable considering that the first Final Fantasy is just DnD basic. Which was made in the US

@Tom Ffrench Not really JRPGs just wasn’t really popular in the US at the time and Square wanted to changed that, but thought we we’re too dumb so they went out of their way to make this game simple as possible. Hell it’s part of reason why we didn’t get games like Final Fantasy V initially.

I honestly wonder why they thought we would not like RPG'S? Maybe video games were really just that new in the world.

@@Rodneythehamster2 I can't count how many people I know who refused to play any game if it has turn based fighting, so it's actually pretty understandable for them to think American people don't like RPGs, because in reality they usually don't

You are very welcome.

Ironically his review did the same for me but for PS4. I even got the Xbox version for five bucks at a flea market.

He also appears on a number of SGB playthroughs on Johnny's other channel. L.A. Noire is a classic.

Phoebe helplessly joooooined

Aw yes. Back before I lost interest in ProJared because of controversy.

@@Rabbitlord108 ProJared was innocent tho. Completely. He literally did nothing wrong. Check out his channel again, he has a lot of new videos like his reviews of FFV, FFVI, FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX. (he still doesn't post very often) I'm glad I didn't unsub from him and other channels that got cancelled like Mangs until all the details came out. Luckily I've never been subscribed to a channel that was actually guilty of what they were being cancelled for. All the channels I watched that were "exposed" were able to later prove their innocence. ZeRO too. Unlike some people like LenTotally, Cosmadore, MiniLadd, and LionMaker, the people I watched were completely innocent. Twitter be wack yo.

@@krimsonkatt Congratulations. You've convinced me to give his content a second chance.

Well technically he's shown his face on SGB months ago.

His first debut was TooManyGames recap video.

@@shpladau years ago

I can see how it's insulting

At least the second FF that Europe got was better(not that its hard to be better)

I disagree! It's really not that bad of a game if you actually give it a chance. Sure it's easy to rag on it for it's simplicity, but it's still an enjoyable experience overall

That's because Mystic Quest already existed in Europe since that was the localized name for the first Seiken Densetsu (Mana) game on the Gameboy. In America it was called Final Fantasy Adventure, likely so that the FF name would make it sell better. Not sure if that worked or not, but it's actually a pretty good Gameboy game. If you like 2D Zelda, I'd say give it a try.

@@jacobmonks3722 Actually, unlike the first three SaGa games, the first Mana game WAS a Final Fantasy spinoff. There's plenty of FF iconography in the game (Moogles appear as a status condition, and you get a Chocobo buddy who later gets robot legs which allow it to cross water). And the Japanese name was even _Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden._ Later games in the series just moved away from it, and the remake severed its ties completely.

@@SilverHairedFreak25 I forgot that you could ride chocobo in SD1. But I am glad the Mana series became more its own thing. It's a very overlooked Square franchise.

Oh man. I remember that anime. That one was so good.

Johnny vs Yakuza wen xD

@@TheMountyPresents After SEGA buys Galaxytrail.

Exactly. It got me into the Final Fantasy franchise. I'd never even heard of it until my parents bought it. After this game, I got super excited for Final Fantasy 3 (or rather 6).

VI is piss-easy, dude. Half the playable characters have OP special attacks right out the gate, and once you get access to Espers, that only makes the game easier. Plus, depending on what version you're playing, you can make nearly any enemy vulnerable to instant death spells due to a bug. V has the Job System and lots of clever equipment setups you can do, but because of that, the designers compensated by throwing in tons of enemies with "fuck you, you lose" tactics.

He's present for some of the TooManyGames videos.

Like Johnny says Final Fantasy IV is better. Hell, I'd probably even recommend any Mario RPG as someone's first.

@@jacobmonks3722 I would say the persona games to, not the mainline SMT titles tho

I started with Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. It was an great start for my experience with RPG'S.
