I remember just turning 21 in '91 and a friend giving me the first FF and Nobunaga's Ambition and fell in love with both. 32 years later and am still buying the latest installments.
-
Three and a half hours about old FF games, I'm all in!
-
What a way to make a Monday so much better!
-
Correction: Toriyama was not a rising star when he did the art for Dragon Quest. It's easy to not realize it in the west, but the manga he did before DragonBall (Dr Slump) was widely successful. So much so that he was already a millionaire before drawing the first Goku image
-
3.5 hours of FF info! My Tuesday morning is now going to be the best one ever thank you! 🤩
-

It’s almost unbelievable that Nobuo ever struggled to make ends meet as a musician. My brain doesn’t even comprehend how that is possible.
-
I love you guys and the style of deep dive videos you do. I want you to know that you inspired me to write to Sakaguchi and Uematsu. I’m a struggling writer who grew up playing FF and these guys were already my heroes. Your description of their early struggles and how they defied all expectations was so inspiring to me. Thank you.

First time at the channel and I'm astonished at the quality and readability of this breakdown. Brilliant work. See you again once I beat some more Final Fantasy games (on 4 now!)
-
Thank you for this content seriously i would buy a physical copy of this documentary. Thanks for your hard work, Darryl & Lauren!
-
Great work listened to its entirety. I learned a lot. Thank you
-
Great video! Hori developed the original PC platform Portopia version himself in 1983, him and Nakamura didnt collaborate on developement of the original game in '83, they first collaborated on the Famicom port/version in 1985

man this was alot- one thing though im not saying nobuo isnt the legend he is and a genius- but youd be surprised how common it is to put some of your most memorable songs together in one go. in my genre shortest it could logically take is 45 minutes but with his limitations and expectations you can reasonably shorten that mandatory input time to 10 minutes. this usually just means that you had one of those momentum shifts, where you just hum and it comes together. ive done it twice now two of my easiest songs to get through was in such a momentum shift its just like how an athlete has their hot and cold phases. sometimes your mind just snaps into perfect harmony with the body-and you fully enjoy it so it even feels really brief.

Cannot wait for the 16-bit era!

Great video. I loved it as always
