Final Fantasy XII HD Remaster: Gabranth, Cid, and Famfrit Boss Fight (1080p) 

and tbh for the first time in my JRPGs experinces, i prefer this game in english than the Japanese.

@@byakugan641 same

XII's dialog is amazing in English.

There was a strong star wars vibe with in this one. (your comment not the video).

Love that line.

Emilio Gueco Yes. Also survived a blast that took out Reddas and the entire top of the tower. Which probably means he got ejected and probably fell quite a distance down. Gabranth is just to angry to die.

@@godknightomega and when he's stopped being angry, he died

@@maicee7603 he didn’t die

@@SpikeySenjuSSJPapa He did die

@@SpikeySenjuSSJPapa Unfortunately, he did. Was my favourite ff12 character too, next to Gilgamesh.

Couldn't have said that any better. So many people don't like him and I've never been able to understand why, especially taking everything you've written into consideration.

Dude, I didn't even think about how Vaan maybe can be choosen as Nethicite wielder. Thanks for telling us, now I quite understand how it works.

He has a niche role in the story, by becoming Ashe’s “advisor”. Each time Ashe decides to do something stupid and selfish, Vaan is the first to call her out. “Don’t interrupt me Vaan” is a lot deeper than you think. He (and the people) are going to bear Ashe’s decision in the end, if she were to use the neticite’s power.

Both Vaan and Penelo are not a typical hero or protagonist in the game since both of them are just civilian that caught up in the war against Archades. However, both of them are not simply following Ashe just for the sake of adventure but because they know how war become catalyst of revenge. Vaan initially hated Basch for killing Reks since he only knew it after war has finished but he changed his mind after escaping from Nalbina Fortress, he sees that hatred only breeds destruction and knowing that Basch himself also a victim in that cycle, he decided to forgive him rather mulling over it. This also applies to Ashe as Vaan see herself as a victim to the cycle of hatred, Vaan wanted to prevent Ashe from falling into that cycle but failed to do so since her mind already driven by hatred since her husband Rasler passed away because of war. In the journey until the party reached Pharos or Ridorana, every single person that help Ashe always tried to advise her to relinquished the hatred and put an end to it as Larsa always tried to persuade her for peace, Reddas reminds her for the destruction of Nabudis because of the power she seeks and Vossler lost of faith to the cause because of his powerlessness.

Is that your final words that he's going to say to his son not I regret you running away or something or I loved you this whole tire time know if you just say go get lost you killed me so now go get lost

Last words from his father...

It's the theme of the whole game lol

@@michaeljara8552 it felt well to be a garbage-ass "protagonist" that almost no other character in the game cared about :^)

MANterruption!

"This game is all about me! Not you, you're a mistake!"

That was absolute, but too absolute for a character like her.

i thought im the only one who laugh at that lol

Anton Ironstag Yet, he has probably the easiest fight in the late game. Such a shame that both Ghis and Bergan had better fights.

Tragedy breeds hatred and Noah von Rosenburg died that day as he was reborn as Judge Magister Gabranth, to seek revenge and to finish off his own brother.

I can appreciate your opinion, but I feel Dr Cid is the best. Virtually everyone thinks he's crazy but in truth he's probably the most sane in all of Ivalice. Is he a good guy, good God no. But his overall intention is noble in seeking to grant the world freedom from predestined fate. Plus he has the best maniacal cackle in any game!

​@@jstalk1I feel, as well, that Cid is easily the best villain in the game. The path to Hell is paved with good intentions. And that path will easily steamroll your child in its wake.

Honestly Gab and Zecht and Basch and even Balthier carried the story. For my being my older brother and I both served in the infantry in the Marines in Afghan...we both came back and he's in prison I'm going for my PhD....he always used to drunkenly say I was a privileged college boy...he came from the same adoptive background. He was a volunteer so was I. We have a better relationship now even though he has two years left in his sentence....him being sober finally got him to ask when he gets out...can we hit go get an ice cream cone....imo when Basch bests his brother....he says it respectfully not Gabranth. "Then let this end...........Noah."

Sums up 1/3 of the game

@@gunawangunawansantoso4122 yes, yes they do

Rabbi Tovia Singer says to Jesus: 'You took everything from the Jew's from me.' Jesus replies back: 'Huh? I don't know who you are.'

"Spend your pity elsewhere," that's probably my favorite line of Cid's. He knows who and what he is; the price he had to pay to what had to be done (in his mind). S-tier character right there.

Hahaha!! "FAMFRIT TO ME!!"

Balthier : Time to upped the ante, Adrammelech go!!!!

Vaan: And Reks! Everyone: Vaan, we have a life crisis here. So, shut it!!

BlackSkullArmor this is so true on so many levels

I mean sure he's a street rat and all but he's right.

That was Vaans golden Moment of the Story, just 1 quote, but enough to bring a whole big Character Development! For me the Highlight, and a Big KING Moment! And yes, I know Ashe, Basch & Bathlier are the true Main Protagonists, but it feels much more like a anime, Because vaan is chilling with all this wise Supuriors. They created him just for the Protagonist FF Clishee, but created a much better, ABSOLUTE UNIQUE Feeling.

Y'all hate on Vaan, but what about Penelo? Isn't she just as useless? Why only Vaan?

All Judges have this very distinct bucket inside head voice

He took his last & best chance for a Unexpected 180° Plottwist Ultimate of 10 slashes of doomnes of Darkness of Hystory Of Universe.

Wtf 10 combos. What's the celling

@@farikkun1841 12. The lower your health relative to your max health the higher the number of hits you can do in a single combo. (this also applies to enemies that can do combos, including a couple superbosses with an insane amount of HP and whose standard attacks have a 5% chance of just killing you outright)

Basch is such a king!

Who’s the 3rd one? Judge Basch?

@@JNZLNTHNY Balthier. Before he ran away, he was a judge, but not reached judge magister rank.

Japanese equivalent of the Legacy of Kain series in terms of writing quality.

I still blame my occasional weirdass speech-patterns on XII

feels like Shakespearean esque to me

@@byakugan641 speaking of which, the Occuria all speak in Iambic Pentameter- a complex form of rhyming that Shakespeare always used.

@@bobmcbob49 Similar in Final Fantasy XIV

Venat is a traitor to a house of tyrants.

You also use fallen angels and the most of the main cast is motivated by revenge and personal grudges. Obviously the villains are bad, but the main characters are getting there.

@@SaraphDarklaw Funny thing, cause in FFT we get to see more about the so-said angels, and they're far from what FF XII tells about them.

And he became Venat's slave in turn.

Liberate humanity from his brethen's accursed weave? It sound's similar to archangel Michael

Heavily inspired by Dune and Star Wars, but fuck, yes.

@@LeuNoeleeste well the main plot is inspired by star wars heavily (hell Gabranth is so much like Vader) but I don't think any star wars has dialogue as good as this.

Helel Alexander hahahahaa 💀

Helel Alexander thanks I needed a laugh

Not really, the game introduces us a conflict that is never resolved in the end of the game.

someone needs to make it a mod now

I get pissed at Ashe every time she does that, but deep down I know that *Vaan* is the one who's out of line.

Had such a crush on him even if he was problematic

Meanwhile I use Balthier and summoned Adrammelech to upped the playfield.

Fantastic localisation

@@Papercut625 Who said that? 2 or 3 nutjobs?

@@coolguy02536 back when I first played this game as a senior in high school, I was one of those people. Watching it now, I obviously had no idea what I was talking about. The dialogue is incredible and the characters are far and away better than 99% of rpgs out there.

​@@ElPresidenteAndycitomany young lads just want some type of edgy character and romantic anime type of things. As long as we get older, now we understand this type of story lmao.

Agreed kind of wished square would do as much sequels and spin offs as they did for ffvii for other ffs like ffxii and viii. Ffxii-2 would be awesome seeing ivalice in present day graphics, hell I wouldn't even mind the same combat system. Ffxii def has 1 of the best worlds in ff history.

@@silkil7100 well there was revenant wings but it was quite different

@@silkil7100 it's a part of Ivalice Alliance settings, from FF Tactics series and then FF12. Sadly the spinoff sequel that supposed to continue after Revenant Wing with Basch as the main character have been cancelled. Fun fact, the man that directing FF12 also create Vagrant Story before leaving the game because of health issue, after his departure developer decided to put Yiazmat to honor him.

I would say there's no better scripted FF game, though Type-0 has solid writing as well, and great voice-acting to boot. XII does have some direction mistakes with voice-acting though. Lines read in ways that don't make sense until you stop to think of how it was meant to be read.

12 using old english so the words are like poem

And "YOU WERE NOT THE KIND TO TAKE BASE REVENGE! I AM NO FALSE SAINT FOR YOU TO USE!" I love the anti religion themes of this and 10.

@@patnewbie2177 "anti-religion"? WTF?

@@infomaximus2348 I see what they're saying, I dont know if its necessarily anti-religion but they definitely use the idea of belief as a tool for manipulation

HAHAHA!!😂😂😂😂

The Unstable Brony ;_; I didn't.

Actually enjoyed the game, busy playing it again and I'm at this tower now, just have to reach the top though. Probably the most difficult part of the whole game for me.

Bro you must have gotten zodiac age it's amazing, more secret bosses you get to choose your own class and shit. And you get to put dialogue in Japanese so you don't have to hear vaans ugly voice actor

Dissidia FF Opera Omina!

He was supposedly the villain representing for FF12 but the staff chose Gabranth over him(Dr. Cid) and Vayne

Penelo too.

That would be because Vaan's character was actually rewritten _at least_ twice over the course of production. He used to be rugged and world-weary, then he was changed to be a more touchy-feely character, then they tweaked him again to be energetic and a little bit of a dope due to the Japanese VA that was cast for him. Given his changing personality and really vague orphan backstory, it's hard to really establish him as a character among them. Especially when he gives up on the only halfway-concrete motivation his story had (avenging his brother Reks), albeit it does indeed move along Ashe's arc. If you think about it, he really does feel swept up in all of this, almost sacrificed to the others' stories. Same thing with Penelo. I wouldn't have had a problem if they were, say, major NPCs, but they wield the same immense power as the others and just...kinda stand there.

jean carlo aww yes. I hope Masamune + Genji Gloves + Berserk is still a thing :)

nice :D

well he is Captain Basch von Ronsenberg of Dalmasca!

this kinda weird question.but made me curious. that all soldier ever feel hot lot sweating and hard breath almost all day in tight and full armor like that? o_0

YES YES YES!!! Best cutscene and dialogue in all of Final Fantasy!

Lol vaan would definitely be able to defend him self.

Keep that theory to yourself, usually characters don’t have their weapons they equipped during the cutscenes and pretty much each character is overpowered.. just look at their quicknnings, Van would be to defend himself even barehanded, they all have defeated so many huge monsters already at this point

Ironic, considering Gabranth, is the same one who killed the king of Dalmasca before the peace treaty was signed that night... Was the king of Dalmasca involved with the fall of Nabudis? I really wish the SE sequel overlords could have focused more on Basch and Gabranth, since they had a history. As much as I love Vaan, it just didn't feel like he belonged in these events. However, one reason being, him only to understand what being a sky pirate would entail.

In all of final fantasy too

you mean All the Franchise? FFXII has the absolute fantastic script-writing. Not too edgy and the dialogue is quite poetic.

10 is good as well

I vote for 12 TZA as well, it's soo good

Ummm... 4, 7, 9 X boring and X-2 was a lame sequel XII ... no comment

@@eliazarcone That's ma Boiii, it's a honorable Mention. Most Original Story in the Franchise. And easy one of my 3hrd Place (2nd is World of Final Fantasy) FF12 will be ever my absolute Favorite Game of all the Time!

@@sadosgames 7 is overrated

King Jae yes

How do you forget the best part in the game lol

Yes it was. I only remember because I kept a save file just before this and went back to it often because Gabranth’s voice makes me feel feelings.

Yes it is

Balthier your dad loves you to best be off of how grown you are and started a new journey of a adventure.

Trying to steal his immunity

Viera be the Ivalice Baddies lol. I'd def take one home.

@@theerealatm they are partners not couples

@@Omega-jg4oq with beira benefits.

Cid was daddy

Cid at least deserved more development. I would love if there was more insight into his and Balthier's relationship, the game didn't explore it much but what it did show it did it very well.

No, we cannot escape the past. This man is living proof. What is your past, Daughter of Dalmasca? Did you not swear revenge? Do the dead not demand it?

There are videos about these topics all over RU-vid. Checkout Shadiversity, Skallagrim, Scholagladiatoria and Metatron's channels they are a good for this.

Midrock What? Always was.

I love Balthier x Fran♥️♥️

Yes... but that doesn't answer why the old gods, the Occuria, would just give up after the destruction of the sun cryst.

Their words were to Ashe Occurian: Ashelia B'nargan Dalmasca. We see your heart desires power, and power most holy shall we grant. Seek you the Sun-cryst, slumb'ring star. In tower on distant shore it dreams. The mother of all nethicite, the source of its unending power. The Dynast-King, his fallow shards, coarse trinkets cut from Sun-cryst's light. Occurian: In time that are long passed away, we thought to save this Ivalice... and chose Raithwall the Dynast-King. He took the sword and cut the Cryst. Three Shards he took from its gilt grasp. His words and deeds run through your veins. Occurian: The treaty held with kings of old is but a mem'ry, cold and still. With you we now shall treat anew, to cut a run for hist'ry's flow Occurian: Now take this sword, this Treaty-Blade. Occurian seal, mark of your worth. Cut deep the Cryst and seize your Shards. Wield Dynast-King's power! Destroy Venat! Occurian: The nethicite is ours to give, to chosen bearer or to none. The heretic trespassed and set the rose of knowledge in Man's hand. With imitations they profane, it is anathema to us. Occurian: The humes ever skew hist'ry's weave. With haste they move through too-short lives. Driven to err by base desires, t'ward waste and wasting on they run. Occurian: Undying, we Occuria light the path for wayward sons of Man. Oft did we pass judgment on them so that Ivalice might endure. Eternal, we are hist'ry's stewards, to set the course and keep it true. The chosen is our hand, our fist, to let live some and crush the rest. Princess, you have been chosen. Take revenge against those who stole your kingdom. Fulfil your role as savior. So it looks like they wanted to make sure the empire and Venat couldn't pervert the tool of the gods.

Actually, if you read into it, the Occuria believe they are the one to guide man's hand and control their future. The items like the Sun Cryst are things they give to man and entice them to follow their path. The plot with the manufacted nethicite and Cid's fervor is that the stones are made BY the hands of man instead of being given to them. The entire plot set by Vayne is to give the power of man back to them and in destroying the tools of the Occuria, their sway can no longer affect the path of man.

cracks me up anytime i see it.

@@Rottypops Anything's a "clone" if you reach hard enough.

@@coolguy02536 The parallels are quite startling in this one, but, yeah, the differences are substantial enough to not feel like a rip-off.

@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 Meanwhile, the parallels between FF9 and Dragon Ball are an actual concern.

KpopAnime7392 Yes king bomb was the real deal back in the original ps2 because of his "renew" which he keeps spamming especially if you are planning to get zodiac spear in necrohol of nabudis. Oh and I forgot to mention the annoying group of baknamy raping vaan's party when at low level lol.

Actually I looked it up when I had trouble, He only uses Renew twice then you can kill him, Tho he keeps inflicting Oil, and of course he's a fire bomb lol. But yes The Baknamy's could screw you if your not ready, considering some of them are invisible and just appear

Rayquazawen They were already there waiting for hours on the window ledge. Just shooting the breeze waiting on you.

Bad writing.

They could have just followed from behind.

The group didn't exactly know where to go when they arrived at riddorana, or exactly what they were looking for. So they had to explore, while Cid laid in wait.

This is video game logic. Where you go through trials and tribulations, 100 floors, solve puzzles beat bosses unlock doors and when you reach the top the enemy is already there. 😂

Think about it, as strong as he is, he is nothing but a human. He's skilled enough to hold his own against the whole group alone for a while... And only through dexterity and sheer willpower (he wasn't on nethicite like Bergan). Cid, on the other hand, was connected to Venat, used nethicite, held tons of magi-tech weaponry and called upon a monster so powerful that even the gods feared it. It comes to show that the group has gone a long way, from clearing rats to fighting against one of the strongest knights in Ivalice, Noah Fon Ronsenburg.

@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 point seen and taken, but I'm just saying that Gabranth could've been a little tougher to warrant all the buildup he got (he killed King Raminas, he killed Rex, he framed his own twin brother, from the starting point he was the central antagonist and it was only until Vayne stopped playing the long game and killed his father to take the role of the big bad

He got bitched slapped by daddy Cid so hard

almost guarantee it was when he first went to Geruvegan.
