Shout out to my boy Masafumi Miyamoto for opening up that computer shop and hiring a young man named Hironobu Sakaguchi as a salesclerk. Without that happening, we wouldn't have any of these games-lesser-known or otherwise.

When you said Record Keeper, I got a pain in my heart. So much of my phone time went into tht game. I hope they release it as a full release one day.

They put so much into the gorgeous pixel animations and of recreating every game in the franchise, old and new, and adapting them into a retro 16-bit style. Some of their music remixes were incredible, and honestly the gameplay loop was fairly engaging. Record Keeper is still going over in Japan, so I have no idea why they stopped the global service…

World of Final Fantasy Maxima ? -Dissidia Duodecim Prologus Final Fantasy Time to watch the video to see how wrong I am. Edit: 0/7 - Oh well, I tried.

@SolstaceWinters 9 месяцев назад

I'm more of a FF nerd than my brother, but for some reason, he was weirdly excited about Explorers when he found it. So much so that he got me a copy (thinking "oh he likes FF, so he'll play it with me")... and yeah, it was insanely barebones. But looking at the Explorers Force, it did look much better and have more depth to it. Pity it was heavily gacha'd. They could have had something to rival Monster Hunters if they weren't so bloody greedy.

I sunk so many hours into Brave Exvius, but I made one fatal error: when signing up, I used "log in with Facebook." So when I deleted Facebook about two years later, it also meant I lost my whole account. I had Katy and Ariana, as well as a bunch of limited event characters. It was such a fun game to play but I'm still reeling from that mistake!

@sometimes...icomment7456 6 месяцев назад

Seeing that Tower defense game reminded me that i had actually played it. I think i remember it being a bit difficult and never beating it. It also reminded me of my first ever mobile "game" download on an old flip phone i had. I say "game" because it was barely one. It was some Chocobo themed game where it had 4 different mini games or so.i think like 3 of them were basically just guessing random things to win and one might have been math based. I remember feeling pretty unhappy with it

@GothBoyUK 9 месяцев назад

There was a mini-game that, I believe, may have originated on the black and white WonderSwan. I never had one of those but recall it was ported to Windows and had a tie in to one of the main games and allowed you to gain (IIRC) a Ribbon - the most powerful item. It feels like it would be around FF7 or FF8. Basically it was a chocobo that just wandered around in given directions until it found treasure. Or am I completely misremembering it? A lot of water has passed under my bridge since those days! I don't think it was a tie in with the console versions that I started playing from X onwards, or with Chronicles on the Gamecube. 🤔

@rond6135 9 месяцев назад

Yeah that was Chocobo World! It was for 8 and I think it even let you get special GFs.

@GothBoyUK 9 месяцев назад

@@rond6135 I knew I wasn't imagining it. At my age everything feels like a Mandela Effect. 😂

@LimeChana 8 месяцев назад

Chocobo World. It was for FF8 and it was released for the Japanese exclusive PocketStation. It was essentially a memory card that could also download tiny games from games that supported it. It was basically the PS1 equivalent to the Dreamcast's VMU if you know what that is. I think the PC port (PC specifically, not the Steam version) added it as a feature.

@yt_n-c0de-r 8 месяцев назад

The PC version came with a standalone EXE that ran a PC port of Chocobo World and you could use it's features to obtain the 2 (or 3 if you by playing it strengten boco itself) extra item-based GFs (moogle, healing [like Cait Sith's moogle dance in FF7] and moomba, single fire attack) On PSX you can get these items by cheat codes, they are still there - just not accessible by play

@yt_n-c0de-r 8 месяцев назад

Speaking of WonderSwan There was a Chocobo game thare too. Hataraku Chocobo (Working Chocobo, kinda a Harvest Moon of FF...), one of the first standalone Chocobo Games.

@Tazer_Silverscar 9 месяцев назад

Square has a really bad habit of assuming that many games they put low effort into are going to make big bucks. They should probably do a bit more market research to confirm what will actually work for their audiences.

@gurvmlk 9 месяцев назад

I mean, when you look some of the garbage that gets released nowadays to some degree of success, it makes sense to assume that minimum effort can lead to big bucks. The problem is people only expect that from games made by a single person, or the like. Not a legendary company like Square. So when Square tries the same thing, it will never be as well received because people expect better from them.

@josephjennings3146 8 месяцев назад

8:08 omg i remember the championships and stuff around it. It wasnt as popular as pokemon but it was honestly fun as i tried it too. Along with their other mobile card game that was i think similar to it. Before it just vanished. And i think it was that, that overshadowed the original.

@josephjennings3146 8 месяцев назад

Please correct me as i think it was named heavansward or something. There was like a tutorial on it and everything and it was only on tablets. Dunno about phones. I really wish i remember as i do not have access to my email that had it (very very old gmail)

@thisWinglessAngel 9 месяцев назад

I was there on one of the first few Digital Card game streams and i was actually interested in it, of course it being a mobile game means that not only did it not get ported but it's essentially lost to the void now. The mobile aspect of square is my least favorite part about the company. So many lost little gems. Final Fantasy Explorers as well. We need a mainline console version of the series.

I mean it's tragic, in a way, as I absolutely grew to love "The First Soldier" and I hate battle royale games for the most part but what finally got me to give up is that I did not want to have to spend 200 to 500 dollars every month just to get the skins I wanted because it was all literally gambling when it came to SKINS.
