I'd be interested in another long Final Fantasy look, maybe at 8 since that's probably one of the more interesting failures in Square's catologue, a game that isn't AWFUL but has glaring flaws coming after something as massive as 7. It deserves a better look than the Spoony "LOL CLOUD? MORE LIKE EMO GAY!" videos.

Did you see his little "review" for 9 that the reason he skipped over the game is because "I can't get over how everyone looks like androgynous furries"?

I've only played some of the Final Fantasy games but could never really get into them nor did I know what people saw in them...I mean I'm sure the older games may have been fun but the stories seemed...meh.

Also, remember when Spoony used to actually make videos?

The prequels are alright, but for some reason some people will get into some isnane rage if you say that. It's like a weird religion where the prequels are THE ENEMY and MUST BE DESTROYED.

They were all right. Which, you know, is a let down compared to the original trilogy, which were amazing, but it's not the loving end of the world. Get over it.

It's sort of strange since the art style that he seems to hate only really become apparent in CG cut scenes and there weren't a huge amount as I recall. I guess the portraits as well?

Do you think Cannon wanted to trade on the idea of canon in the sense of classic or universally accepted and just hosed it up like they did with every other part of their business?

Golam and Globus bought Cannon films in the late 70s early 80s, so I doubt that.

Besides, you say that like Cannon hosed all parts of their business up. They only failed when they tried to make big budget blockbusters. Had they stuck to low budget schlock they'd be in business today and thriving.

Also, they had Lou Ferrigno toss a bear into space. Give them props.

I can't believe I used to support that loving manchild, and now he's at his all-time worst. I really hope he just fucks off for good, all of his credibility went down the drain years ago.

He's already basically killed off what little fame he had left, it's basically only die hard fans supporting him at this point. It's going to be a slow death into irrelevancy for him and I doubt putting in the effort to reverse course from even this point in time will stop that from happening anymore.

Kinda sad to see that's how he turned out in the end, it always seemed like he had potential to be bigger than he was.

It seemed like all he ever did was bitch about Final Fantasy and Ultima and dig up obscure VHS B-movies that little to no-one gives a poo poo about. (okay maybe some MST3K fans out there if they heard about them)

Speaking of Ultima, did that Shroud of the Avatar actually went anywhere? I think it's been long gone now.

His Ultima series is actually really informative, fun and good. Like the episode sup to Ultima 8 are him chatting about the series and it's really interesting and charming. Yeah ther are some bad jokes, but it's clear he loves the series and it shows.

Ultima 8 was still really good and he clearly went into the issues that game had. 9 is when it went into stupid loving BETRAYAL memes and wasting loads and loads of time.

I've said it before, but the dude just burned himself out on being "I'M SO ANGRY ABOUT MOVIES AND GAMES" and miserable all the time.

Spoony's FF8 review will always be dear to me because he more perfectly articulates everything wrong with that loathesome game than I'd ever be able to, though I disagree with his assessment that FFX is worse. His Ultima and FMV Hell videos were all great as well. But dude has serious problems that last I heard he had no intention on getting help for, it's really no surprise he ended up the way he did. How he still has any sort of fans is kinda baffling.

Also I dunno if it's available to non-patrons yet but Todd put up a new video that is sure to upset a good number of people, maybe even more so than when he apparently made Fall Out Boy fans mad at him.

I know that Final Fantasy X has problems, but I can't bring myself to hate on that game, if only because it was the first Final Fantasy game I played. Nostalgia, yo.

FF VIII also has problems, but at least it's memorably bad and goes out of its way to be innovative. It might not have succeeded, but I'll take innovation over cynical corporate box-ticking in the vein of Final Fantasy XIII. (See also FF XII, although that game's better than VIII).

FF8 caused me to completely lose interest in JRPGs for over a decade. It remains the only game I've ever played that I'd say I well and truly hated (though Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel was really pushing it). If it weren't for Persona 4, and specifically Giant Bomb playing it, I would have probably continued on not playing any JRPGs made after 8.
