The Complete Story of Final Fantasy IV

Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy IV, the game that took the storytelling of Final Fantasy games to the next level by featuring a cast of dramatically compelling characters, and by presenting its narrative as the real focal point of the experience.

A narrative that has since then served as an inspiration for subsequent Final Fantasy games on numerous occasions. It even inspired a direct sequel entitled Final Fantasy IV The After Years, as well as a 3D remake, but in this video, we’ll be focusing on the good old pixels. Or maybe I should say the new old pixels since this retelling will be based on the Pixel Remaster version of the game.

It's going to be a long way from here to the moon and back, but I hope you'll be with us every step of the way

Holy crap! People casting Meteor to death, selflessly turning themselves to stone to stop walls from crushing their friends, and another HAND DETONATING A BOMB!?
The party in this game dies such epic deaths that songs should be sung about them for generations!

This was the first game i remember getting really emotional about...when the twins sacrificed themselves i definitely shed some tears

[KreatorOfDeath]

YEESSsss, I just beat this game. You guys are the best! CAWW

[ryanern]

Easily the best series of all your video categories. You guys are so effortless with your delivery.

This game is what turned me into an RPG fan as a kid way back in the early '90s. I played FF1 on the NES and Dragon Warrior too, but they were a little too difficult and hard for me to grasp as a young child.

Everything about this game drew me in immediately. The beautiful sprites, amazing music, the story and characters, all had such an amazing charm to them.

It doesn't get as much praise as some of the later games in the series (specifically FF6 and 7), but for the time this game was the pinnacle of RPG's and I'm glad I played it when I did. And I'm even more happy that they did a proper pixel remaster of it.

Thanks for the video!

Now I want to play FF4 just to watch your recap :)
You are extremely talented in covering all the necessary story information without making it a 4h long video.
Sometimes I rewatch some of your “complete story” videos of FFs I played just because I really enjoy your style, voice and humor.
Best of luck to you and your channel!
I appreciate your work very much.

I finished this game for the first time a few years back. It's nice to relive the story with your video, thanks!~

[UrbanBeatz]

Fantastic video, brings back nostalgia. Also ties in with what's happening in FFXIV currently 😊

[redbeet]

you are one of the best story teller I have found in this entire community! Love the way you narrated. It would be better if you put english subtitle too. Anyway, please keep it up!

[tobiaswalker]

Splendid Narration! Makes me want to play the game again, and love text styles

[viciouscykl]

Yes!! I've been waiting for this one- my favorite story retold in that silky, sultry voice. Thank you!

[LongTran-kpkz]

This was an AWESOME recap! Thanks for that refresher!

I just finished the game 3 days ago so this was great timing to look at my journey.

Ah yes, the Final Fantasy game of no stakes.

I kid, but it is a bit weird that everyone in the party survives except Tellah. We lose Sara, Edge's parents, and the King of Baron, but everyone else miraculously survives deaths that really should have ended them. Edward, Polom, and Palom surviving makes sense. Yang's survival is ridiculous, but at least they show that the fairies saved him from his sacrifice. Rydia's survival is equally contrived, but acceptable.

Cid's survival, on the other hand, is just insane. The dude died in an explosion big enough to collapse a tunnel to the underground. He just randomly appears alive and well with no explanation whatsoever besides "he got lucky". The dude blew himself up with a giant explosive and then crashed into the ground at terminal velocity. The dude should have been ATOMIZED by that.

One of my favorite final fantasys I remember rushing home the third grade to play this

[weaselanomoly]

I appreciate these stories
Was wondering if the star ocean games were on ur radar
Just found yall
Glad I did

[GRIFTYRODRIGUEZ]

sorry to only watch half of this, but this is the PERFECT video lmao. i just save Yang and it's been a long time since I played so I had NO idea wtf I was doing in the story lol

[watching.learning]

This is the definitive version of Final Fantasy. Unique job per character, a world map, random battles, and the binding elements- crystals, eidolons, etc. FFIX is my favorite in the series but Cecil is the best FF character (Vivi came close but didn't have a solid ending).

The best of the pixel series (I-VI). The 3D remake made good use of the camera during scenes. The best iteration of the game. But they could've made the music timing much better. The music in most scenes were out of place, didn't match the mood.

great retelling of a great story about deception, delusion, remorse and the virtues that carry us through. Really liked the game genie codes used 9999/1300 hp. Still. Kefka makes a more wholesome villain than Zeromus

[muckypup-riot]

CAWW, this is awesome, thanks, super high level Ff content here.❤
