Final Fantasy video retrospective: Part V
And here's where Final Fantasy went mainstream: Final Fantasy VII. Multiple discs, video cutscenes, a memorable death, and something called a PlayStation, made this the break-out installment in the series. It even spawned numerous spin-offs and a movie. FF VII was also the game which got the Roman numerals back on track.At this point we wouldn't mind seeing a PS3 remake of Final Fantasy VII, which haunts the system and gamers since that silly tech demo at E3 2005. SquareEnix is bringing Final Fantasy IV back around with a graphics update for the DS. Shiva knows SquareEnix isn't opposed to rehashes. Who knows, we could see a PS3 remake -- at least it would be a system seller.See also: Part I & II, Part III, Part IV
Final Fantasy video retrospective: Part IV
GameTrailers continues their Final Fantasy retrospective solely focusing on the last game in the series to get the Roman numeral mess-up treatment. Final Fantasy VI, or Final Fantasy III to the west, was the last game for the series in the 2D era, and the last Final Fantasy game in the numerical series we'd see on a Nintendo console. From here on in it was PlayStation all the way.See also: Part I & II, Part III
Final Fantasy video retrospective: Part III
GameTrailer's Final Fantasy retrospective continues as it covers the wonkiest of times for fans of the series outside of Japan. This episode starts with Final Fantasy IV, what gamers in the west came to know as Final Fantasy II, and ends with Final Fantasy V, which didn't even come out in a non fan-translation version until a couple years ago. Although Final Fantasy VI ended up becoming Final Fantasy III, everything got back on track by the PlayStation's Final Fantasy VII. So, western gamers missed out on few different Final Fantasy games before everything finally got corrected as those titles made their to the Game Boy, DS and PSP. We're definitely looking forward to the Final Fantasy II, er, IV remake coming to the DS.
Final Fantasy retrospective beginnings: Parts I & II
We definitely enjoyed the Legend of Zelda retrospective and we're happy to see Brandon Jones, who wrote, produced and did the voice-over for that saga, is back to tell the Final Fantasy series in the same style. Due to the madness of E3, the first episode of the Final Fantasy retrospective got lost in the fray. You can watch the first episode above and then as a special gift from us, check out the second episode after the break. The other eleven episodes are expected to come out weekly.
