My little wishlist of ideas for FF9 remake:
- Optional sidequest of finding Fratley, culminating in an epic boss battle against him
- Punishment and redemption arc for Beatrix, because last time I checked, she's still a war criminal
- Consecutive battles against the Four Fiends
- Full experience of exploring the Mist Continent gates
- Backstory for Amarant and maybe some for Lani as well
- Sidequests or mini games related to rebuilding Alexandria and Lindblum.
- Will try to add more later lol
Fully explorable chocobo paradise. Fully explorable lindblum.
And I want it all in chibi style just like the original.
@@kueapel911yes to more areas and the same artstyle. My list is more of an expansion pack than a remake haha tho I think the world map could use a big jump graphics wise
@@kueapel911 Chibi style could work for a spin-off, but I think it would take away from the overall seriousness and the intended tone of the main game.
Maybe also the failure of Garland during the previous attempted takeover of Gaia, and how Alexander become the city.
If you're on the winning side by the end you're not a war criminal
My favorite game of all time. Don’t care what anyone says.
I love everything about IX.
Only FF I have played and best more than once.
I highly recommend FF3, I played it for the first time when the pixel remaster hit, I really wish this had hit the nes in English, I missed out bad
This is also my #1 game of all time and Ive beat most main series final fantasy games
You're not alone
FF7 will always be my personal favourite due to nostalgia but I do consider FF9 to be a near perfect game. There is very little about this game I dislike.
This is my favourite work of fiction so you're definitely not alone (pun intended)
I absolutely adore this game. The nostalgia is simply unreal for me with this masterpiece. A perfect game in every conceivable way, from its amazing cast, to flawless pacing, fantastic story and arguably the greatest soundtrack ever!!
My First Final Fantasy played, literally my childhood ❤
I'm an older gamer and I first started with the original Final Fantasy game on the NES
@@billcox8870 Damn, I could only imagine what it would have been like to experience the birth of this series first hand. You have witnessed FF from a very unique perspective. The ups and downs from the very beginning up until now.
I was fortunate enough to experience the launch of FF7. It was my first FF game. FF7 blew my mind and made me a fan of the series going forward.
That being said, I played FF9 a few years later and that game changed my life. It came out at the perfect time for me and resonated with me so much. Even until this day, it still makes me tear up just to think about it and how much it shaped my childhood. It's literally the perfect FF game in my humble opinion.
FFIX is my favorite game of all time, and your thorough lore breakdown only further cements my love for the game.
Nice :)
Currently playing through VI, and i cant wait to get to this game! Im playing through them in order and I-V have been a masterpiece of an experience! By far my favorite game series of all time!!
The best FF imo so full of character, the whole tone of the game and it's world is beautiful.
You mean the mist continent right? Since the rest of the world is basically empty. Best disk 1 of all ffs though for sure.
Vivi is such a good name though. In Esperanto it means "to live" 🥰
Absolutely loved this! Gonna rewatch and share a lot. More content like this please. FFT, XII or heck just continue with IX. I'm super impressed and loved it a lot.
As the Final Fantasy series progressed, the additional world building sprinkled throughout really deepened my experiences!
IX is also the most visually fascinating and most unique if you ask me
IX will always be my favorite, the music and world was so beautiful and colorful.
My favorite FF still to this day. Top 5 game of all time too.
Absolutely amazing video! I love following this channel because of videos like these
I don't think I've ever been this early for one of your videos. I enjoy your creations and I'm sure this one is going to be a treat too. Thanks for everything that you're doing!
9 is my favorite game ever. This video had so much stuff I didn’t know.
I love this recap of some of the lesser lore threads and how they tie into the bigger plot threads. It's such a rich world they created for FF9. Thank you for sharing your hard work on this!
This is my favorite kind of video you guys do. The smooth transitions like telling a story rather than listing things off. It’s pleasing to the mind.
Thanks going with this and can’t wait to hear more about the rest of the series.
What an awesome game FF9 is. Been like 3 years since I last played it and I’m getting that urge again. I have a save at the start of the game that has “that” thing already done so I don’t have to torture myself (ocd silliness).
Game has so much charm. Best Chocobo minigame, and while the card game isn’t as rewarding as 8’s, I’ve grown to like it once i finally understood it.
Quite a lot in this video I was unaware of! Great video!
I took the card game eriously for the first time on my recent playthrough and enjoyed it a lot! It needs a more thorough explanation in the game. I had to rely on CZcams videos to learn how it really worked lol
What’s “that” thing?
I can think of grinding Zidane to level about 12 in the beginning of the forest…
@@katyadade1041 Jump rope, 1000 jumps. I have a file saved where I did it at the start, I refuse to ever do it again lol.
I'd really like to see this video format for Final Fantasy XIII. There were so many details within the worlds of Cacoon and Gran Pulse that weren't obvious or were simply never really conveyed in the game's narrative itself. For having three whole games, I think it might be the least understood of mainline FF game settings.
Loved the video. I actually learned a few things from this one about FF9 I had not known before.
I would like to see a continuation of FF9 as it looks like just the surface was scratched (barely made it halfway through disc 2, there has hardly been mentioned any of the lore outside of the mist continent).
Of course any of the Final Fantasy series would be really cool to see a video on. FF8 is one I would really like to see as it is my favorite in the series.
The most unbelievable part of ANY of this is that Brahne had a husband
I like to believe that Brahne used to be good-looking before her husband passed and she got corrupted by Kuja. It makes sense considering the OG Garnet looks a lot like summoner Garnet/Dagger, i.e. relatively attractive. You wouldn't get that if your mum looked like.. that.
@@BiggusNickus That said, people can change alot in few years. Antipsychotics cause metabolic syndrome and people get obese and moonfaced in year or two. Like with Quetiapine/Olanzapine/Clozapine or glucocorticoids.
What im derailing, in fact, is the assumption that you may not even recognize a person after in just a year of two of bad metabolic syndrome, drug use or manipulation by mist :P
Lol
This format was so good! I was wondering how you're gonna squeeze in 50 facts fluidly and you did it very well!
Very well-done video, especially how each bit of info pretty seamlessly leads into the next.
Awesome video. I’m always down for in-depth FF lore.
Loved this! I really enjoyed this format.
This was very interesting, and well thought out. Thanks dawg!
This video was amazing, gents! Please, if you're able, make more in this style. I never had the chance to play this as a child and this only increases my desire to rectify that. Good job!
Ooh it’s time!! Fantastic stuff as always Team FFU!! Still waiting on the Remake!!
Wonderful video! I could have listened to this for two hours since it's such an interesting game.
Thank you for this. I haven’t played this in probably almost 20 years, and this made me really happy.
So much new lore info! So cool and interesting!! Where did you get all those???
It's amazing!
Awesome video. Please do more!
I love this game, great video. Now I don't remember are there other games in the series you've done this kind of video or is this a first of a series to come?
I always like to know more about Hilda life while she was in captivity on another continent. She seem to spend a great deal of time with Kuja and i am intrigued with how their conversation would have been.
My favorite FF ever
thanks alot guys for this awesome video
much love
You should absolutely do tactics. Its a very hard story to follow for first timers
Playing through it right now on my PS3. Loving every bit of it🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
This was great! Would love to see something similar on FF8 or FF10
Yaaaaay my favorite
THIS WAS SO GOOOOD!!
Who would have thought that after 23 years of playing this game in and out I learned so much more in depth lore on one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you so much. I'm looking so much forward to the remake and hope square enix will give it the love and tribute it deserves. That being said i hope they will make similar choises than what they did in vii remake. It will never replace the original and for that reason alone i hope they will make it an epic experience keeping respect and love for the original vision.
"your not alone" playing in the background. Goddamn i love that song. That scene gave me goosebumps
Love this format
This video was great, I want more like this
My favorite FF,the soundtrack makes me so emotional and that’s rare
this is one smooth video, good job! I loooooooooooooove FFIX
Even though I was only 16 when this came out I still enjoy listening to the lore
Would love to see you give the same treatment to FF6 and FF8, just finished replaying from 6 through 10 and the nostalgia brings me back to being a kid in the 90s 😅
Great job I am currently playing it on my switch
5:58 omg wild DFFOO footage used! Wasn’t expecting that tbh lol.
But also, brb mourning incoming EOS for that game sob.
I was expecting this to be more list-like and instead it was more of a story. Kind of half way between a 7 things you didn't know and a character origins. Once I realized what the premise was, I really dug it and I think FF9 was the perfect place to test this concept! I would welcome more in this style.
My favorite final fantasy game. A wonderful love letter to the series.
Awesome! Whats the Source of all the infos, where did u get them?:)
never clicked a video so fast in my life. ff9 is my absolute favorite thing and i always love to learn more things about it
Does this video perhaps mean that FFU thinks FF9R will be announced soon? 😗
This video is fabulous. I'm curious, is this format a recurrent series? Are there versions for FF8 and FF7?
A. Fantastic. Video. Well done.
I loved this video and would love to hear more about this game. Ff9 is my favorite ff and I hope the remake will look good and be as faithful as it can be
Are there anymore videos like this about ff9?
This video was freaken awesome.
Please make a video with the whole of ff9 lore
About time while War Of The Vision (WOTV) Collab with FF IX,and this video came out,thanks! 😍
Dug the lore dive. I’d love to see more videos like it
Don't remember where exactly, maybe at Vivi's grandpa's home. There is a meta message of Hironobu Sakaguchi to us.
Great entry for the series.
27:27 I very much love this format and want more of these videos - do final fantasy 7 next please.
My only critique would be cycle in more music for one this long - 9 has a fantastic soundtrack and while you picked three of the best pieces on the soundtrack, there's a number you could have cycled in - the same will stand for final fantasy 7.
Otherwise, 10/10 on this concept and video type
FFIX will remain as not only my favorite FF game but also my all time favorite video game. The story, characters, music and lore is what made it stand out among the others for me. A timeless classic
More, please. Thank you.
I would be happy to see this format used on any other game in the franchise
I used a guidebook for this game to make sure I get to see all the different little secrets that the developers put into the game. It was quite enjoyable.
Wonderful as always Sir!
Final Fantasy 4 please!
Ff9 is my favorite game. So I was more than happy to learn all of this lore i wasn't privy too. Because a lot of this I didn't know.
Love the concept and would love to see more. How about FF4 or 5?
9,7, 5 and 6 will always have special meaning to me
Damn! This video gave me the mood to replay FFIX.... Again ahah. ;)
hold up 14 and 22? DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER!
FFIX is my first FF and the one who also pushes me to try the other FF Series
This has some great parts & i'd like to see you give FF6 the same treatment!!!
Absolutely love this game and beat it several times! My only complaint is Necron, why the random end boss that had nothing to do with the game?
Best final fantasy 👌🏿
Your voice reminds me of a horror story narrator I love.
Bit of a correction. I doubt Lowell dressed up as a moogle in the play due to the fact he is recognised without the suit and not with it. I believe he would have played as a human, shown by the fact that the ladies weren't there to see moogles but Lowell. I believe he would have starred alongside the moogles instead.
Talks about Final Fantasy prequels is nothing new but this video proves the insane potential for an FFIX prequel, just imagine seeing the ascension of a young Steiner or maybe Queen Brahne descent to madness
Wait you're telling me Beatrix is 18-19? I swear she was in her late 20s, early 30s.
Kuja save did set things up....
People are always excited when i remind them both summoners became queens of two respective kingdoms in the game eventually. A lot of people have forgotten Eiko was adopted by King Cid and Queen Hilda in the game epilouge.
Final Fantasy 7 is my favourite RPG and game of all time but its really easy to see why FF9 is loved by so many people that number probably exceeds how many love Final Fantasy 7
I remember making a riddle about General Madeleine. You forgot to mention that she was inspired by Joan of Arc.
How the f did Steiner beat Beatrix?!?!
FFIX was my very first FF game. And it developed a soft spot for me in the series as a strong Adventure/Racing/Fighting/Stealth Gamer at the time. As a young teen at the time, I played the series backwards up to FFIV (always skipping V for some reason) lol. It’s pretty cliché to say FFVII is the best RPG game but IX will always be special to me. It has everything, the nod and references to previous titles, the theme, the story, the character development, even the music!. I still love this game to this day.
V>>>>>>>>>>>>VIII
My first Final fantasy Game 😍❤❤
I loved the FF X 50 facts video a lot and this one a lot less. It felt more like running through the main story and less like little bits of lore here. I'm doing a poor job of giving useful feedback I realize but I liked the overall execution of the FF X video a lot more, that's all I can say. I'm also a huge fan of this type of content so keep making these please :)
Do them all!
This game has my favourite design of moogles. Hell, my username came from it. 😆
My favorite game ever
I hope there's a remake soon for this game
Theres rumor its in development.
Can you explain why gods are mentioned once or maybe twice by freya and never again. All in disk one lol unless I missed something
I just restarted this game on Steam with the Moguri mod
I think FF10 would be a good one to cover, you may ever be able to do 100.
I didn't know Steiner actually beat Beatrix in a duel... especially given how broken she is.
Can you do another one of these videos please
