Unskippable: Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII

Brooding and the impossible hairdo go together like guns and swords.

Wait, why would Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving?

Hmmm I've never actually seen the older final fantasy games.... this was a learning experience for me. How on earth did these sell like hot cakes so well?
Good bait and switch. I salute you!

 

[BlindMessiah94]

That made my day, thank you, haha.

 

[Willeus]

Hahaha, I wasn't expecting them to keep going along with FFIII, the whole time I was waiting for it to cut to XIII. Loved it.

Simple, it was a SNES game, and that was some of the best graphics you could find for the console, no holds barred. Gameplay wise it was fun, but once you got the the 2nd half of the story, the whole game got super-boring, super quickly...

Which translation was this? surely the soldiers were Biggs and Wedge, Rather than Vicks..
still, great game, great vid.

lol pissa

That was pretty lame. And I don't mean the deceit, it was just a really lame commentary. Drag on much? Worse than the organ in the intro.

Also, FF3 was fun.

The bit about the "monster palette swapper" was sheer genius.

 

[Wolfram23]

Lame. What's the point of April's fools jokes anyway?

Pegans celebrated the new years, and the religious ones who adhere to the roman calendar essentially called anyone who celebrated in April, fools. Something like that I'm no historian.

Dorks

Oh jeez, you guys went OLD school! What's more, you grabbed the SNES version, which bailed on the FF6, and turned it into FF3!

Clever boys.

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

Ouch, the bait and switch. Was not expecting that. Kudos.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Nice prank guys! I loved the mode 7 jokes. "Come on men, just a little more mode 7 to go!" That one was awesome. What did happen to those other 6 modes anyway?

That was the original SNES release version. There were tons of mistranslations, especially Vicks and Wedge // Biggs and Wedge. Probably the most notable being that this was called FF3, and not FF6.

 

[sigma2]

That was an awesome prank!

I really thought you guys were gonna do FFXIII.

 

[ZeroVex]

Touche Unskippable. Touche.

 

[I Resurection I]

WOW..... ummmm i feel like i just got cheated out of a deal....

Oh well.. it was still funny

Maybe i will celabrate April fools all week

 

[Daze]

Oh what a dreadful trick! Thou shalt not be rewarded with any kudos!
..
Didn't get the "mode" thingies...

Put simply, Mode 7 is what SNES games used to make textures actually rotate and scale (become larger/smaller). Given that this was the SNES, it was a lot more impressive back then than it is now.

Hahaha, I wasn't expecting them to keep going along with FFIII, the whole time I was waiting for it to cut to XIII. Loved it.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing the whole time, too. I'm kind of hoping they still do Final Fantasy XIII for real in the future, but this one was pretty good.

Jolly good show.

I can appreciate a good April Fool's joke, even if it is a bit early.

That being said there best be some FXIII action next week all up in here.
