    It's amazing how this went over the head of so many people on Spoony's site. Though I'm sure alot of them are just Final Fantasy fanboys in disguise who just want to undermine Spoony for speaking blasphemy upon FF!

    I'll never get people who limit their RPG gameplay to one character or no magic or whatnot, though when I first played Final Fantasy I actually restarted early on and played with only a group of 4 Fighters, but that was only because of how simple it was. I regretted that later in the game though.

    I remember when I did the quest for Bahamut and he changed my Fighters into Knights, it was the coolest thing I'd seen in a game. It lead to my first geek moment the next day at school when I told my friends about it and they just stared at me awkwardly since they had never heard of Final Fantasy.

    And boy, Doctor Insano has not aged well, you'd think SCIENCE could help him with that. :D

  • Carbacs

    wo
    never stop even to think about the first ff or hes s plot.

    btw time paradox are lame and time travel pointless for if u manage to go back to the past in order to modify the future it wont work cause it ment that what u ve done has already been done before so by trying to change the future u actualy end up creating the future u dispice

    beliveme it took me 5 time travels and 2 dead cows to truly understand it

  • Gamerafan17

    yeah our belief of time travel is all based on specualtion for all we know we coulkd go back in time to kill our grandfathers and it may or may not become null and void for all we know we could actually kill our grandfathers but by some miracle we're still born to go back in time and kill our grandfathers hell for all we know time travel paradoxes are bull shit and instead of going back in time the past of the history of our own world we instead go back in time to the past of an identical world on the multiverse. But I'm just saying we have know idea how time works be it in ripples or in waves or hell in retarded ducks killing themselves we will never know. :)

  • Thatpirate

    Why only 2 dead cows, When I traveled back in time I killed off all the Dodos... Why did I do that? I thought the next one would taste better... Now I know, that everything tastes better with Stern's Secret Blend. That's right Stern's Secret Blend a mixture of brown sugar, honey, garlic, jalapeno, and twenty other herbs and spices. It makes everything taste sweet, spicy, and makes women want to get their stanky on your hangdown.

  • Dectilon

    I can sort of see the idea. It's like trying to see if you can beat all the bosses in some Megaman game without using the boss weakness. However, for the entirety of an RPG? That must get tedious...

    Also I think mad scientists enjoy having facial hair. Mustasches to twirl and beards to stroke while planning master schemes.

  • ThatWhiteGuy

    Dude, the thief isn't the red guy. Thats the FIGHTER!!!

  • Cferra

    Backstory of Dr. Insano? Nick work, Spoony! Though, old Spoony looks like Dr. Wily. But, good work!

  • Vyon13  - Lawl,

    very nice oh great sponny one, also i give props for the Dr. Who ending, i showed the ff8 reveiw were you were like "exterminate, exterminate, exterminate" but none of them got it :(

  • DeathsHead419  - Awsome

    Such a great video, but I'm confused. Which is the Apirl fools part, hating Final Fantasy I or the Dr. Insano origion?

  • DanManX

    I think it's a bunch of things. The video made us think he would bash FF8, but he didn't, and then I know he's mentioned being a fan of Final Fantasy (at least prior to 8), so I'm sure hating FF1 was a joke too. The Dr. Insano bit might've just been for kicks, I don't know if it was a "prank."

  • avidfan141

    for some reason i cant see the video(and it dosent work even on spooney's site)

  • SpoonyOne  - Disable adblocker!

    If you're having problems seeing the video (like a black screen), you probably need to disable any adblocker software you have for this site. Blip sometimes runs pre-roll ads before videos, and I think that's what you're getting hung up on.

  • 1010110  - tearing the FF games a new one

    if you really feel the need to tear any final fantasy game apart you should take a look at final fantasy tactics advanced.
    all the shit-tacular rule changes you hate from triple triad plague the entire game. it's not just in a mini-game no no no it's the entire main battle system. and by the way did you know alchemists could change the rules of battle? What the fuck kind of sense does that make? the reason i have trouble with the final fantasy series is the inconsistency between American and Japanese releases. AVGN took an episode to explain that and it's shit:!:

  • DeathsHead419  - Sounds good....

    Ok DanManX, That sounds like a pretty good assesment. Oh ya, he complained about FF VII being the end of the more simple older FF games.

    I still hope that that is the Origion of Dr. Insano though. His fans forcing him to review Final Fantasy VIII driving him to a life of insane science, so he could travel back in time to take over the world and get revenge on those who drove him to madness, with science and the power of the presidency!

  • ClarkSavageJr

    How interesting...they were just discussing time paradoxes and how fucked up they can get on LOST just an hour ago...and now it's being showcased here!!! Fate...or coincidence?!

    ...Coincidence. :P

  • Deimos1984rd  - Fucking epic man...

    That was just beautiful man I kid you not
    this is one of my favorite reviews you've ever done the ending was awesome as well...

    HAIL INSANO!!!!!

  • Zalaralith

    Final Fantasy I still makes more sense than Lost.

  • trigger12

    jesus spoony, you really did go overboard. but hell, i hate finaly fantasy games, there too weird, the characters are throughly stupid, i mean underdevopled, and annoying(Thats better)

    worst of all is combat system. Turn based? are you fucking KIDDING me? i could never understan. are the guys a square, complete nutsacks, who wanted to try something orgienal, yeah, but in the end, they couldve dont something like, look some reviews, or do some fucking playtesting!

    its boring and i hate them all, as well as anything related to it. Advent children was only good for the fightscene though. ;p

    coudl you please bash the resident evil games? PLEASE? its right up there with this.

  • trigger12

    also, the ending of your review reminds me a shitload like Timesplitters futureperfect, where jacob crow, the main villian, goes back in time and tells his younger self about blah blah blah, and the younger crow does tell mad hatter jacob, but why?

    timesplitters was incredibble, but the plot always sucumbs to the damn time travels, and that dosent even get into, the time you save youself, literally! lol

  • trigger12

    oh yeah, the four stones part is fairly new for its time, but yes, reeated like hell, where a plot revolved around objects. Im tired of it, piriod!

    love the balls thing lol

    man, i wish i coudl just chat.

  • Professor Sleth

    This really had me on the floor. I have seen some crazy ass reviews but this takes the cake. On my list, the one rpg that beats all on the WTF factor was final fantasy 10. The combat was nothing to complain about but the plot felt like it was made through 20 trips of LSD. Anyways, great review, can wait to see more.

  • Bonkers  - Yeah,...

    but honestly, even if FFX wasn`t good compared to other games of the series (I really did think Seymour was a very qweak villain) I honestly liked the game. I mean come on. It wasn`t "brilliant" but still it wasn`t as bad as now FF8 or XII. I always hear "FFX was crap" and... I don`t want to be some angsty fanboy but "come on". Tghere are thinks to complain like "no real freedom to explore this world" but better as FFXII or this piece of crap called X-2 (which is only for fans wo want to jerk of by seeing Yuna a la Lara Croft) was the game at all.

  • Star_Sage

    An origin story for Dr. Insano. This guy needs a comic book, or a skit show, or something.

  • FatAnon

    Wait... if Dr Insano was created in this episode, then how is he in previous ones?

    TIME PARADOX!

  • rmlohner

    Awesome that you used some of HCBaily's stuff. That guy rocks; I don't care what Retsupurae thinks.

    Finally the origin of Dr. Insano. Very impressed with your acting there as Spoony becomes Insano right before our eyes. Now you just have to reveal where he got the goggles.

  • jacktchance

    Dr. Insano shows no mercy!

  • Mr. Easterband

    When I watched this I was thinking "It's april 1st, only a joke. Nothing to rage about. Just April Fool's Trolling. Nothing to rage about..." as my rage started building up to the point where I was like "JUST SAY APRIL FOOLS ALREADY BEFORE I EXPLODE!!!". And Luckilly it came.

    I personally love Final Fantasy 1 for the NES, since it is the game that saved Square and gave birth to one of the greatest videogame series. The game it self is great on it's own, all of it's flaws were pointed out by Spoony. (Which shows that you can make "hate videos" for almost anything).

    I call this a successful April Fool's Video that almost had me punching the computer screen in anger.

  • Dectilon

    What exactly was incorrect? Yes, Final Fantasy 1 saved Square, which is fortunate, but was it really that good a game?

    A while back I replayed 6 again for fun (and it WAS fun), but after having played 1 for a while I think I'm going to give it up. The encounter balance is just too broken, and up to 9 enemies in the same random battle? It takes forever to get anywhere!

    So, apart from the ability to choose classes for your characters at the start of the game, where is its better qualities?

  • sgtdeath

    well compared to many other nes titles ff1 offered a much bigger story then other games at the time also garland is one of the most intimidating villains of the series if you play dissidia you know what this guy is like he is a machine, also this game featured the four fiends which apeared in ff9 as well you can c how it all began, sure its not perfect, my issue with it is the targeting and how you can attack open space. it is my least favorite final fantasy except for maybe 12 but it is still a good game that is full of nostalgia i hope you do talk about all the games even though i love them i can take jokes and im curious what flaws if any you can find with ff4 and ff6 which in my opinion are the two best games of the series.

  • Shinigami

    That was funny april fools joke.

  • Alemme01  - Too bad...

    I'm kinda sad that you really hate this game. Sure, it's got its flaws, but it was a fun game to play. But I'm sure you'd think Final Fantasy 2 (4 in Japan) is at least tolerable.

  • Seraphim Sisters

    Alemme- It was an April Fools joke =P

    Not only is the video funny, but the reactions of those of which the joke went over their heads is even funnier.

  • gamenerd04

    That is an awesome origin for doctor insano!

  • dorko4u

    The crappy Final Fantasy series made SpoonyOne go insane and turn into Dr. Insano...

    IT ALL MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!

  • Draxo

    This is pure awesome :D

    Anything Dr Insano touches turns to gold!

  • Hawkster

    You created a Time Paradox!

    Insano you can't do that!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bahamut

    When I saw that there was the 10th part of the FFVIII review already, I knew it couldn't be anything to do with FFVIII itself and I was right. I really liked this satirical review of the original Final Fantasy and even though this was a joke review, I didn't think FFI was fantastic (I've only played the GBA remake, BTW D:), but for its time, it was good.

    Also, I'm surprised at how many people are taking this review seriously. It was an April Fools' joke, so why take his thoughts on FFI literally?

  • BananaJane

    Priceless Dr. Insano origin! :D

  • avalonknight

    One of the best April Fool's videos I've seen, all because of Dr. Insano.
