I see Razorfist. I click. I click again on the thumbs up. I click to turn my fucking headphones up. I sit back with my eyes loled back till you can't see any color. With a big toothless grin.
Or just vague references to any property that's remotely 'nerdy.' There was one point where a laugh track played solely from one character saying 'Dungeons and Dragons.' No jokes or visual puns, just a reference.
I had friends who had been jaded by the FF series who enjoyed FFXV but it does feel weird to have colorful monsters roaming around Southern California but then again, it started out as an experimental spinoff of XIII so it's to be expected. Now I'm off to play Dragon Quest VIII.
Am i the only one that found the "war" more interesting than this boy band simulator ? i wanted to see the large scale war i wanted to see struggle and chaos set in the FF world with magic and machine clashing, not search half the planet for the best cup of instant noodles.
***** Me too. I wasn't dissing the game just making fun of it. I was surprised that I liked it so much. Definitely not a Outlast\Amnesia clone that I thought it was from watching the trailer, glad be wrong on this occasion.
RE7 is one of my favorite games in a long time. I loved seeing them go back to their roots for a lot of design aspects. The first person approach actually worked really well with it and ultimately made the experience both refreshing and nostalgic. How is that even possible? I don't know, and I don't care; I can't stop replaying this game and I'm craving more. Speaking of which, time to play Madhouse with unlimited ammo; watch the fuck out mold monsters-here I come.
I know man! Been playing Doom recently, in all it's metal glory, saw a new Razorfist video and was like "The fuck is this music playing? It's not April 1st, is it?" I actually looked at my calendar...
@Rpground I've also have been playing Doom recently. I've been crying tears of blood and uttering satanic chants while playing. Its been fucking glorious.
While I haven't played the game myself yet, I have to agree that one of the biggest issues with Final Fantasy these days is the abandonment of fantasy, in favor of these weird semi-sci-fi settings. I guess this has to do with the fact that Square, for the past 20 years now, have been obsessed with creating another Final Fantasy VII (with the exception of games like IX, Tactics and maybe XII), desperately attempting to emulate its success, while having little to no idea what made it one to begin with.
You might be the only youtuber that can consistently make me laugh multiple times every video, the bit about molten silver made me pause the video. Rock on man!
I'm not upset about the boyband music whatsoever. Fits right into the context, doesn't detract from the character since it's not a recurring thing. Monsieur Razeurfouixst knows what he's doing.
As someone who routinely writes urban fantasy stories, I was actually on board with the modern setting 15 was sporting, but I was never sure how the final product was going to do. And now...Eh, I guess I can check it out when the price drops.
That after credits bit with cup noodles an actual scene from the game? Cuz that is just blatantly product placement, as in I thought it was an actual joke that you made. I'm really not sure cuz I wouldn't be surprised if it was real.
Makes me wonder how much Cup Noodle/Audi/Coleman paid Square Enix for that product placement. I wouldn't doubt that they needed the extra cash after all those years of development.
+sdzero *_"Makes me wonder how much Cup Noodle/Audi/Coleman paid Square Enix for that product placement. I wouldn't doubt that they needed the extra cash after all those years of development."_* Considering that; - This game was announced back in 2002 when they were unveiling their project for 13 as _Fabula Nova Chrystalis_ in JAPANESE magazine while peddling a game from Square that, at the time, had all the Final Fantasy Fan site screaming their head in horror when they saw the protagonist would share the spotlight with Donald and Goofy (personal anecdote; My best friend at the time kept saying that KH would be a flop and 13 would "change the world" based on the snippet of informations. Hindsight, right?). - That it got stuck longer in Limbo than Duke Nukem. - That 13 was such a flop that Kotaku reported picture of used and discounted bin full of copy all around the world. - That it was once cancelled than revived again - That they tied up the guy behind Kingdom Hearts (the only series linked to final fantasy that sell nowadays) to a chair until he finish/save the company's flagship thus delaying his own series for... Five to six years now since it was supposed to follow Birth By Sleep. Probably enough to make up for what was wasted on those game since 2004 (date they say they started working on FF13 and the Novalis) up to 2014 and finish that game. Edit: In essence, this series' title might be appropriate. This may be the "FINAL" FANTASY we ever get to see from Squ-enix. So, can we now talk about PROPER Xenogear sequel?
"So, can we now talk about PROPER Xenogear sequel?" Never? Xenogear isn't even a finished game to begin with. And of the write staff are retired or working in another companies making totally-not Xenogears. That game is a fucking mess.
I felt that had they added in like 4 open world chapters in-between chapter 14 and 15, and cut some of the fat out of the early game, FFXV would have been incredible. I enjoyed it a lot and sunk 60 hours into it (which I haven't done in an RPG for quite a while), though it did have some disjointed story moments and some Grand Canyon-sized pacing issues.
Y'know after waiting for a whole decade for the game that got me to buy a PS3 in the first place I should already be on this, but not only has it been a long time since the words _from the developement team behind Kingdom Hearts_ sounded like a good thing to me but when I caught word that they still needed to patch in crucial chunks of the story............yeah I might just pass on it altogether now, my enthusiasm towards it has dropped to about rock bottom......
Hey Razor, big fan! As a german whos always trying to get better in french and english i can learn more about the twists and niceties of the english language from you than reading fucking mark twain while getting more entertained! Keep up the tongue splitting!
Nearly a decade later, Crystal Chronicles is still by far my favorite game with "Final Fantasy" in the title. We used to take our characters to the bucolic farm town, run off into a field, and position our characters facing each other in a circle. Then we'd form a real-life circle of our own and smoke a blunt. We did this every time we smoked, and to this day no Final Fantasy game has left me with such fond memories. I'd guess it has something to do with the whole "local multiplayer" thing that they failed to ever properly replicate in subsequent games. Oh, and the game was really fun, too.
Honestly I'm not going to lie but I enjoyed XIII a hell of a lot more than XV. Say what you will about the quality of the plot but it at least had one. XV just has a bunch of random cutscenes all glued together with no cohesiveness whatsoever. And at the end of the day I at least felt like I was playing a jrpg not a watered down western RPG. XV at least for me a was a complete disappointment and one that was certainly not worth the 10 year wait for something that is being compared to the "worst" FF (XIII)
I agree. XV is incomplete, empty, and has no identity. I played many old FFs and XIII did not disappoint me. The worst FF is obviously XV, because, it's not even a Final Fantasy game and it's unfinished product sold at full price. Even Tabata says it's unfinished, which is why Square Enix is STILL working on the game.
Razorfist. Please, as long as RU-vid allows you to posts videos, don't die a day sooner then me. Keep up the great work! You and AlphaOmegaSin are officially more entertaining then cable television!
It seems like In every one of these videos, Razorfist manages to misuse a word in his attempts to sound verbose. Tonight, that word was "Rhodesian," which applies not to the ancient Greek city-state that once boasted the Colossus of Rhodes, but to Rhodesia, the former name of Zimbabwe. The word he was looking for, in vain, was "Rhodian."
I don't deny his talent, nor do I deem this video a complete failure (I'm a sucker for some FF hate). But this is not the first time I've seen him do this, and it diminishes the product every time it occurs.
+TheGabeed Its not the type of thing most people would notice. Hell I didn't notice it and I'm usually a stickler for these things. He probably knew what the correct pronunciation was and said it wrong for the sake of maintaining a flow.
"Einhorn IS Finkle! Finkle IS Einhorn . . .! Einhorn is a MAN . . .! Oh, my GOD!!! Einhorn is a MAN!!!" I know all there is to know about the crying game . . .
Speaking of Japanese games, are you gonna do Nier: Automata and the booty shots when it comes out? Giant robots, post apoc, bullet hell with a thong wearing basically magic robot ninja lady. What's not to love?(the idea of)
Sad thing is that 4 years later, Final Fantasy XV has sold ~8.5-9 million copies. It had to sell 10 million (in that one article briefly shown at the start) in order to just break even. Ouch.
I was thinking about picking this one up, just to check it out. But seeing those water effects...maybe I should just wait for the inevitable HD remaster on the PS4 Ultimate Master Pro VR?
I remember watching a stream and i did a doubletake when i saw the Coleman logo. For me that breaks immersion hard i could never get into the story while seeing these irl brands. I think they did it recoup some of the money on development.
I'm enjoying the game so far. Don't really care about the product placement of the car since I cared more about killing shit, hearing people bitching about dubstep is basically an internet checklist at this point ("it's basically I hate it because internet" not saying that's you, you actually give reasons), but the Cup Noodle placement is annoying as hell. I like the stuff but fuck we get it they paid money for it. At least with past ads in FF games they stayed in Japan and you rarely saw them.
animeasskicker look for dubstep pre 2011 you'll find what it's really meant to sound like I hate that the Internet is all dubstep hate yet only hear the new really annoying sounding tracks once it got big America, where no offence but the whole feel and sound of dubstep got raped by robots, listen to chillstep even. It like all genres is not ALL bad.
