This whole game is about the archetypes of "bro"-class friends
With each affirmative grunt and fist bump, a small part of my soul dies. 10/10 video, would watch again
Translated anime game cutscenes are my religion. They always keep the grunts in and it's so awkward because we don't have such mannerisms over here.
Funnily enough, around here where I live (north-west germany) people do grunt somewhat regularly.... or I guess it's more like a coarse sigh mixed with a mumbled sillable than a full-on grunt. Either way, it's incredibly odd to hear something referred to as "anime grunts" when my grandpa does the exact same thing...
@@GumshoeClassic Your grandpa is an anime character
Teacher: Alright class, today we’ll be learning about math. 2 plus 2 is-
Jack: I DON’T GIVE A FUCK WHAT IT IS!!
Jack would absolutely be that XIV player who runs straight into boss arenas before the sprouts have finished their cutscenes
I love how jack punches everyone. Fiends, princess', other fists
1:23 He made them all fall down!
"From now on, you are the Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin."
This game is a fever dream. What. IS. HAPPENING....
Elden Ring is less confusing than this...
so essentially, all of the summons where once people and each final fantasy world was created because they reset the world wich is why you travel to the locations in each final fantasy world
Milky at 23mins just calling out the story xD I fucking loved it.

@@marcjehle2480 its funny as all hell. Though I remember Garland still being the final boss of FF1.
"You can't just give the medieval princess an Ipod!" has the same energy as "You can't just shoot a hole into the surface of mars!"
To be fair, Final Fantasy 1 had its fair share of enhanced technology, especially in the Flying Fortress.
@@zacharyyoungblood7013 Yea, in the original NES version Flying Fortress was a space station but it got changed in the remasters into just a generic castle in the sky. FF was always a mix of medieval and sci Fi since day one. It's just that most FF fans don't remember that, because most FF fans never played FF1 apparently.
Both games: watch me...
@@TheCyclicGamerMaybe, but in my eyes there’s a significant difference between high tech thrusters to make a flying station compared to an IPod…
A high tech thruster would of course require tech to be produced and maintained, but outside of that you just give it some form of power and it’ll work, can easily be magically powered…
An IPod also implies the existence of high tech audio recording equipment and likely (though not definitively) software. This implies the presence of tech to produce audio recording equipment and (if software is indeed involved) some form of computer to make that software on, the tech required to produce those computers, and programming languages. Programming languages then imply software to write code in (IDE’s), which means there must be IDE development software, also some sort of fantasy github or bitbucket, which implies some sort of INTERNET…
Sure, both are at least modern tech, but a thruster is something that can far more easily be explained as some form of magical technology compared to an IPod
@@jochem12jdj I'd wager that the Lufenians have some form of internet, and that Jack's Ipod is probably something from their society and not Cornelia.
i love how this entire games story can be boiled down to "the true chaos was the friends we made along the way"
“”””””””friends”””””””””
*fiends
And it holds true in the commentary as well!
the *"I DON'T GIVE AFUCK WHO YOU ARE!"* scene is just peak dnd energy
Perfectly describes that one member of the party who's upset over the BBEGs mini-boss evil army commander doing a long monologue about how they killed off the party's mascot or NPC that hung out with them from time to time
what's funny is it literally calls back to when Woody literally shut down Xehanort going "whatever it is you're talking about, i dont care."

To partially borrow a phrase from a friend, Jack really does have the vibe of that one murderhobo who ruins the campaign for everyone else because he keeps demanding to fight the final boss as soon as possible.
Fitting for the prequel to a game that took almost all of its inspiration from D&D. Lol.
This game has such fan-fiction energy, like someone fed an AI every Final Fantasy game plot and it came up with this.
Feeding all FF information to AI Dungeon be like:

its not an isekai, jack has late stage dementia and is in an old persons home and his party is his family and he cant remember and just wants everyone to shut up cause its too confusing. the monsters are nurses who just wanna give him his medicine

Well, this game promised Chaos and by god did we get it.
29:12 Knocking someone out by punching them in the solar plexus is the Japanese version of that western action trope where bopping someone on the head renders them safely unconscious for an hour. It's almost as ubiquitous as the anime grunts
You can technically knock out someone with a body blow, but it has to be in the liver.
@@imatiu It's almost easier to disable someone by stomping their instep or via a rabbit punch than to knock them out with a liver shot.
It’s about as logical on how Medieval armor in most games and especially shows gets penetrated by a sword immediately even though they were *specifically made* to not be broken by swords
Hell, this has been done even in _Dragonball_ to a _fucking Saiyan,_ and it absolutely worked.
Didn't Kakyoin did that once during The Tower fight as well. He shuts down a potential witness of a Stand fight
As I saw someone say elsewhere, it's great to finally have a protagonist that wants to skip all the cutscenes.
It's especially funny since this is the game where the players would never skip te cutscenes because of how hilarious they are.
But... we already had that, his name was Asura...

@@Tonyd5736 why does that sound like an actual thing? You know what, I'd actually try it
For those curious, the reason why Sarah dies, but can still get kidnapped by Jack is - according to the game's Wikipedia page - because at the end of the game Jack and his Fiends travel back 2000 years in time to set up the conditions that will create the Warriors of Light, which erases everything that happened in the game. No, really. This whole game was a DnD party realizing they had a bad party build, and deciding to reroll and start over.
are you really telling me... that this game pulled the same "We need to make sure this never happens, so let's go back in time" ending that Sonic 06 did?
@@FizzieWebb Well, considering that the original Final Fantasy is about time looping over and over how else could it end?
That's right.
After what Jack has done to Lufenian, he and his co travel 2000 years into the past and have since waited until the King and the set up for the supposed prophecy came.
Hence Jed quotes, "It hasn't been our friend, the king reign yet." Or something along that line.
When 2000 years passed. Jack triggers the whole prophecy by kidnapping the princess. Then fights WoL.
If WoL dies, he reset the timeline again using the crystal matrix he stole from Lufenian.
@@TheOverlordEND This game really puts a new light on WoL and Garlands words to eachother in Dissidia, especially at their 1-on-1 showdown.
Considering how the WoL and Garland both draw from their Dissidia representations in design and moveset, I think it's probably intentional. To paraphrase what WoL says to Garland there: the cycle of battle shall come to an end, and I shall save you too.
@@Awaken_To_0
Hmmm, then possibly the fight we are shown in the video is the Chaos fight? Because I don't think the time between WoL arriving at Cornelia and fighting Garland the first time can make them stronger.
It only makes sense that it is WoL vs Chaos, much like how in OG game we require Bahamut's blessing before facing Chaos.

If anyone who only has a passing knowledge of Final Fantasy (like me) and you're wondering why that cute gremlin almost demolished them, that's just what Tonberries do. Bow before your new Tonberry overlords.
Craziest Tonberries still gotta be the ones from 9 that slowly walk towards you in groups of 4, randomly turn left and right with no discernable pattern, and stab each other dead if they happen to run into each other like it's some weird game of chess. Fun times.
been playing ff games for a while now, so when I'm playin a new one and run into one of those adorable little slime monks I legit yell in terror
The first time I encountered one was in the FF7 battle square. At first I though it was just some dumb damage sponge enemy since it was just wandering around. Then it one hit killed me.
I now live in fear of the Tonberries. They will destroy us all.
Cactuars, tonberries and malboros. the FF trifecta of fuck you. The dark souls of FF enemies.
@@abbycaldwell3166 dude i was playing 15, and a Tonberry was just, there. he wasnt even messing me up either. and then suddenly i get the prompt to summon.
And Ramuh shows up and *nukes* it.
Tonberries are so terrifying even the GODS go all out when they appear.
In 7 years, some 20-something is going to fondly remember that stupid edgy game they loved back in the day.
Then they're going to say "bullshit" and walk out the door while playing Limp Biskitz.

You gotta admit that having the ability to turn people into blood crystals after doing a killing blow is pretty sick.
its pretty fucking cool, too bad it disappears once jack gets his ass beat by level 5 adventurers
it COULD be....if it didn't result in every bosses death looking identical and thus not being memorable
@@sarafontanini7051 how can you say that when the animations for each boss are so unique. They even contribute to phase 2 transitions.
Like the dark Knight you kill his horse and throw the corpse at him which he smashes in mid air. Then for the full kill you repeatedly knee him in the head repeatedly until you remove the head and then impale him on his own spear.
With behemoth he resists the crystallisation becoming a crystal dragon in the second phase.
With the chimera, you start to crystallise the wings and that causes the extra heads to sprout out then for the final kill you bait the heads to attack the main body to finish it off.
With the zombie dragon you rip spines out and turn them into crystal projectiles to throw and finish it off.
I could go on but compared to most games, that is way more attention to detail
It's actually meant to be a "realistic" depiction of the death animation in 8-Bit games. How the enemy sprites turns red and dissolve into pixels.
Also Jack: "I'm gonna hold back so these random guys stand a chance."
What makes me laugh is the idea that this badass Garland, who totally wrecked everyone and flooded the world with darkness, got his face pushed in by some level 5 heroes.
Tbf, he seemingly reappears at the end of the game perfectly fine (likely due to the time loops)
also he said that they will "train" the heroes of light themselfs so... he probably let himself get trashed to an extent to give them fighting exp, only to come back later has a final boss and then get trashed and killed for real
Level 5 is where you discover the power of friendship that’s why

Trust me, you now have even less knowledge of FF1. Negative knowledge.
I wouldn't worry TOO much about he says. This is a PREQUEL to FF1 and changes literally NOTHING about it(not to mention the whole "time loop" deal that FF1 always had actually so any of his story quarrels are irrelevant since they don't matter when it loops around again.)

Milky guessing the plot doesn't hit as hard when the marketing outright says "yeah he becomes Chaos shut up"
*Everyone* guessed the plot in the demo, so they just outright said it and shifted attention to how it happens/what the context is.
Ya know I remember hearing that the devs were disappointed with all the "Chaos" memes when the demo came out...which would imply that they actually take this story seriously to some extent. I find that hilarious.
I just... I just can't... see how this story is in any way serious????? I just...
I don't think they were disappointed necessarily, more annoyed that people trashed it. The story does take itself seriously by the back half, but the first half is full of a lot of goofy characterisation for Jack that the shift is jarring.
That's not true. They were surprised at the amount nothing to do with anything else
Welp when you make something gotta take it seriously
@@Vugtis_El_VillaVODS IDK about that. I've seen and played media absolutely don't take themselves' seriously and thrive in their goofy shenanigans to great effect. Like, say, most of Borderlands.

@@zomboni1312 Technically speaking that’d be the first 2/5ths if you go from I to XV.
I think the most funny thing about this is that the story setup *is* promising. You know they just took out all the worldbuilding/character development, and setup required to make it work. That said, Jack is a legend, and no you can't take my angry child away from me.
The story is basically "good on paper". I think it comes together decently by the end, but that first half is pretty inexcusable. And Jack is basically the only character with any depth by the end of things, which feels a little flat. It generally feels like it suffered from a lacking budget overall, this game. A lot of stuff feels cut.

@@SapphireDragonDX I'm kinda disappointed he didn't say that
it really would have just been the most.... i wanna call it redonkulosly thing, that i would have laughed to death.
Barrret: "Already made that joke."
I've played ff1 and I unironically love this game. The sense of humour in the first half of the game is great and then the ending is nutty and I loved it. Then on your second playthrough, the throw away dialogue you hear between your companions early on has a double meaning. For example in the second level, you hear your team mates saying "Jack is something else, do you think he could be the one?" The way the game is setup this just sounds like generic "wow strong main character, he really could be the one to kill chaos" when if you know the ending, you know that's not what they mean at all! Same with when you fight astos, leading up to it, he keeps asking "who am I?" And acts disappointed with your answers because he wants you to say "his friend" but your answers keep confirming the lie and you're unintentionally hurting him. I thought it was really clever how they used the corny humour and back drop to really drive that contrast between the first and second half. Sure the graphics are ass and the level design is pretty basic but the gameplay was stellar so honesty shaping up to be my goty
Ah yes my favorite kind of video! One where Shen laughs! Wait, that’s all her videos…
"let me get this straight, you think this game is good?"
I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
The game is fucking phenomenal. But, ya know, gotta be contrarians.
yeah pretty great, i loved it no matter how many forced laughs she make
I’m so… very confused. The fact that none of the sequence of events are edited together and they talk like a mix of Solid Snake and FF15 characters makes me question my sanity 😭
Also, “Looks like my crystal is vibrating” is my favorite line
Like a phone
This game is a fuck streak from start to finish
I also thought this was supposed to be like a remake of FF1 which is why I compared it so much to FF1 hence why I was like "W HA T" every minute
I think you were way too harsh on this.
But why? It was never supposed to be a remake
@@angellara7040 Because the marketing for this game was all over the place and after he said "My name is Jack, Jack Garland" I lost all interest in watching more marketing
@@DuelaDent52 Really? Irony aside what is good about this game? The gameplay is a watered down Nioh clone where the jobs do little to nothing at all.
Weapon and armor designs are incredibly bland or outright ugly (Personally)
The story also isn't fun, Garland is not a sympathetic villain at all and Jack doesn't help that case. He goes the entire game telling people to shut up and fuck off and being an ass and then in the last 80% of the game has a complete 180 in his character and starts to really care about his ""friends"" and question all he's doing which is tonal whiplash in a 15 hour game. Dissidia did much more for Garland as a character than Jack does. I know Time Loops are a thing and that this is just one of the loops but even then that feels more like a cop out answer to avoid talking about this mess of a game.
@@Milkythesquid what a contradiction. Did you think it was a remake or not?
I'll say it again: this game has a distinct smell. A 2009 capcom smell.

Oh hi Chaos
@@elvinglass2465 what a story chaos
OMG yes. "Oh hi, Chaos! This is my future final boss, Jack Garland!"
Honestly, despite Shen and Milky ribbing on the party, I actually really like their dynamic. Most of the scenes aren't shown in this video (in fact, I don't think any of them are), but Jack is more than the gruff 'screw everything, let's go just' guy he comes off in the beginning (the part of the story where all he is is just an impulse to kill Chaos). He actually does develop over time and the group's dynamic actually works for me. I can see them being friends and getting along. There are points where Jack does talk about how he comes off as angry when he does mean to, and the party makes jabs at him for it too.
It's definitely a memey game, but I actually felt bad in the finale. I just think that going into w/ the impression it would just be one big joke while not really trying to take it seriously does make you blind to certain elements. It's why I laughed at Dead Space the whole way through when most people are spooked going through - I was w/ people that led to me trying to be funny/entertaining. Some kinda of media don't really work in groups if you're expected to pay attention to sporadic moments.

"you called the entire story" like the game wasn't called final fantasy origin and the main characters name wasn't garland and all his friends weren't the exact number to be the fiends. the jump to guess it was a villain origin must've been a big one.
Real talk wasn't much of a villain orgin by the end. You don't really get to be evil. By the time the "story" is done, the game has gone out of its way to justify your actions so you don't have to feel bad.
Deeeespite that being why most people picked up this game in the first place. To be an over the top final fantasy villain.
What blows my mind is this isn't even a prequel from what I keep hearing, it's practically it's own thing, in it's own universe, set in FF1...
... and I'm okay with that. Cuz it looks stupid fun, and I love stupid fun LOL.
It is technically a prequel to FF1 because it always had "time loops". This game is simply the one before FF1.

@@DestructiveSlayer you act like garland dying just to reappeared at the end of the original isn't weird
A story this nonsensical and just ends with getting beat up by four weak ass warriors using basic ass weapons and tier 1 magic. Wonderful.
of course being defeated allows him time travel to the future so he can send the four fiends to the past after becoming chaos. somehow.
And then those same four ehroes murder him in the future as the final boss and end his plan somehow.

The only real difference from what I understand is that MGR somehow made it work, and this one didn’t.
You guys were a bit hard on the story, i found it pretty interesting to get the story of FF1 from Garland's standpoint. Also for once, SE try something new and it give some freshness to the series.
The whole thing about Jack not giving a fuck about exposition is hilarious and meme material. The game has no point retelling the story, we already know the FF1 lore, why would you want them to repeat all the stuff ?
It might not be a 10/10 but i think it was still good. Also the whole thing you say about them being weaker that a lvl 5 goblin is just dumb, if we follow your logic, characters from FF X-2 or FFXIII-2 got weaker after their first game since they went back lvl 1 ? That's just Game Design.
Never played any FF. This game is absolutely beautiful.
They aimed to make an over the top absurd game. And they succeeded. By god, they succeeded.
Imagine the pitch meeting of this game, head director kicked in the room with huge gacha box that contain most random things they could possibility think of and every dev have to roll the gacha one by one for plot making and can not reroll.
Don't forget Tetsuya Nomura is involved with this game. There was one video who had a reaction that is simply "Who made the story?" and then saw Nomura in the credits and had an "Understandable, have a nice day" reaction.
@@kriscubero6778 He's the one who do 10 rolls every time he got a chance to rush to guarantee SSR asap
What you described is Nomura's specialty
Now we need to slap YishiP into it and we wait for "Stranger of Paradise:Realm Reborn" then repeat the same history again. Ho Boy
I think the best thing about this game is nothing in the game is really out of line with FInal Fantasy as a whole. Like it is the most Final Fantasy esque Final Fantasy game and it's great
I kid you not, I was on the verge of tears at 27:00 because of how fucking ridiculous that scene is + Shen's laugh🤣. It's so funny how serious this game is and wants to be. Also Jack is literally me when I'm tired of game that I'm too committed to quit 🤣🤣.
Shen thank you for making a video of the fucking video game ever. This is truly the first to get 32 trillion
Milky doesn’t get it how amazing this game is, the absolute drive of jack, the bro friendship, and the perfect timing grunting ;)
Fantasy elements? Check. Sci-Fi bullshit future stuff? Check. Some weird combo of the two? Check. Utter confusion as to how anything fits into anything else. CHECK CHECK CHECK. Yep Definitely a Final Fantasy game.
Yeah, don't forget the original game is where the ancient sci-fi tech started, or WARMECH will remind you (given the absurdly low chance you run into it) ~w~
Add weird grunting and you’ve basically got it
Infinite time loops? Check.
Garland being brought back in time by the friends to become literal Chaos? Check
It is 100% final fantasy 1
Imagine going back in time to show this game to Sakaguchi as he was working on the original FF1.
Also, Milky @ this entire game: "Look at how they massacred my boy..."
I'm with him tbh, FF1 deserved way better than this.
@@fhey7903 it's a prequel and all it does is show how jack became garland, FF1 is still fine and untouched chill
@@crazygamer4260 at the end of the day if you enjoyed this acid trip that’s what matters. Let this person hate it if they want opinions aren’t exactly law🤷♂️
Imagine thinking FF1 was written with any more cohesion than this when it literally has time travel shenanigans and giant robot fights. Final Fantasy was ALWAYS this, y'all.
@@ZackofSpades i mean, sure it has those aspects, but it doesnt go THIS crazy
FF1s story atleast doesnt start eating itself out of confusion
25:41 Every time Milky goes on a tangent, I just end up rolling on the floor with laughter
Is it the grilled cheese rant?
@@NickAsNickName damn, right it is. 😂😂😂
This is what happens when you build your game around an abridged series
What do you mean by an abridged series?
Please explain
I see many uncultured people in this reply section
And by many I mean two
I might be completely wrong but doesn't "abridged" just mean a series with a single storyline that continues through every game?
@@deer8071 that’s an ongoing story. “Abridged,” in this context, refers to a specific sort of parody that rose to prominence around 2008-ish online, wherein the footage of the original show/movie/whatever is edited up and given a joke script. The different series created by Team Four Star over the years are actually really fantastic, I’d highly recommend them.
Dissidia: “For one who has lost all memory, why did the dream have to be so....cruel?”
Stranger: "Bullshit" *plays Limpbizkit on phone*
The best kind of prequel: absolutely unhinged
Pretty sure the ending literally give away that Garland purposely lost to the warrior of light at the beginning. Since he said he was going train the warrior of light themselves.
Ahh, I understand now
Jack didn't want to kill Chaos, he wanted to kill the EXPOSITION!
Maybe if he killed the exposition, he wouldn't turn evil
I don't get the hate this game gets over others in the series. This is what _every_ final fantasy game looks like to me.
22:28 “you should touch it as much as possible” you could have phrased it differently other words exist 💀
This story is just so boring, the characters are so uninteresting, and the only redeeming quality I see in this game it’s so bad it’s hilarious
It’s literally the room
I’m only six minutes in and I’m pretty sure I’ve whispered the words “oh my god” to myself in delirium 40 times already
Jack IS the expedition, literally the moving plot device.
Technically always was
@@angellara7040 OH, i didnt think of that as a past tense- good one.
I need more characters like Jack, significantly better than any attempt at story making ngl
So the point of Stranger of Paradise is that it’s to Final Fantasy 1 as Wicked is to the Wizard of Oz. The Lufenians basically told the story of Final Fantasy 1 to offset the evils they perpetrated before the start of Stranger of Paradise. It is in fact a true retelling of the tragedy of Garland. Which explains why, while Lufenia is a real world versus the fake that is Cornelia, Lufenia somehow exists as an actual town in Final Fantasy 1. Because it doesn’t actually exist in that world. Jack did nothing wrong, Lufenia is evil, and Stranger is a VERY good game.
Jack doesn't have time for anyone's bullshit or anyone's lore exposition
I haven't seen a melt down and a I CALLED IT moment in a game sense in such a long time. Like this whole video reminded me of my own experience with 15 as I ranted at a friend for an hour about what Ardyn story line was gonna be. Milky done-ness was a whole ass mood.
still would have preferred if we'd been able to get the ending from that one book...
Thing is though, the trailers and box art (and whatever you call the art that's shown when you boot up the game) made it pretty clear that Jack was Garland and your friends were the fiends. The Lufenians were the actual twist of the plot.
Milky is why I couldn't finish watching this video
@@ebitoro4590 Jack being Garland was SUPPOSED to be the twist, but when everybody figured it out from the demo they decided to make it the marketing instead.
Except Milky has no fucking clue what he's talking about. As usual.
I can't believe I almost choked on my soda just at the mention of G R I L L E D C H E E S E
I don't even know what's happening in these cutscenes, but Jack ignoring everything and telling everyone to f*ck off is giving me life
Also the bro-fist cult that they're forming is killing me
Protag: *grunts
*"Anime grunt" counter pops up
_Oh this is gonna be good~_
29:50 that edit fucking killed me🤣
The commentary on this and Shen´s fkn laugh... I´m in love. This is the content that I need in my life.
Are you telling me that this game is the edgy version of Final Fantasy 1 where you are aware of everything and you just want to destroy chaos?
WHAT?
I like the memes...I love it Shenpai thank you...and Milky too
Nope, is a prequel.
@@ALVACCION Hmm...now it makes sense (?)
@@ALVACCION technically both, time shenanigans
Star Wars had Anakin. Now FF1's turn to have Jack.
