    He's baaaaack. :cool:

    The man who produced some hilarious reviews of Final Fantasy games of yesteryear (check them out on Youtube if you've never seen them) has now turned his attention towards FF XIII.

    Part 1 of 2 here:

    I didn't find it as funny as his reviews of VIII and X (perhaps because I played those ones, unlike XIII) but there's still some very funny moments.

    So glad I never went near XIII after seeing this.

    I couldn't watch all of Part 1. I think part of the appeal of the other two FF reviews was how hypercritical he was over games that technically weren't all that bad (they were pretty great actually). But FFXIII's problems are too numerous and obvious. His main gripes seem to be with the story and technology anyway. I'd like to see him do an actual on the fly playthrough with commentary a la Phantasmagoria, cutting out grinding obviously.

    Had the pleasure to meet the guy and conduct a panel with him at a local gaming convention. great guy xD
    I agree so much with this review. I mean FXIII was so bad in the sense it was extremely linear and explained nothing at all.

    Really like this guys videos...specially the counter monkey. Is his name taken from the FFIV spoony bard translation?

    I just couldnt get into this game and couldnt figure out why. I thought it was because of the linear corridors, but it was the same in FFX and i loved that game. It was the fact that i couldnt see the world in my head. Each location had no relevance to the one after it.

    It is. Don't think his latest series is as good because the older games are held in stupidly high regard by fanboys whereas everyone seems to hate FFXIII.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Everytime I watch this guy's videos I can't stop thinking about how bad that room must smell.
