• Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 4: In the Name of Love

    This chapter has a lot of JP grinding for the 100% class achievement, so I sped that up 8x. Cutscenes and most dialogue at normal speed. The Midlights Deep fights are slowed down to 2x speed. Yes, I know I missed a couple of treasure items, and I forgot to do the books, but I…

  • Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 3: The Valiant

    The story continues! Still really enjoying The Ivalice Chronicles. I know a lot of folks like the War of the Lions, but I now consider this to be the definitive version of the game. Like in the other videos, exploration, menus, and battles sped up 4x for efficiency. Cutscenes and most dialogue at normal speed.…

  • Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 2: The Manipulative and the Subservient

    Chapter 2 of my Final Fantasy Tactics playthrough! Again, I’ve played this game a lot in the past, so my goal here is to just do the full 100% achievements run, which means a lot of grinding. It honestly took a little getting used to in the beginning, but I’ve come to appreciate the updated…

  • Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles – Chapter 1: The Meager

    I’ve started my Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles playthrough, and I’m loving every minute of it. The original is one of the greatest games of all time, so I was so hyped for this remaster! It does not disappoint. A ton of quality of life upgrades and fully voiced dialogue have been amazing additions.…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 14: End of the World

    We’ve reached the end! The last chapter of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Since we’re past that point of no return, Chapter 14: End of the World is a pretty straightforward chapter. There’s no side content to distract you, the cut scenes are aplenty, and the fights are epic. There’s a lot to unpack here, and…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 13: Where Angels Fear to Tread

    Warning! While the entire world is now completely open, this chapter includes a “point of no return” when you try to advance in the storyline. So if there was anything you’ve missed (if you skipped the Chapter 12 quest explosion), or anything else you were planning on doing, do it now! I, admittedly and unfortunately,…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 12: The Golden Key

    Just when you think you’re getting close to the end, Chapter 12 punches you in the face with well over 15 hours of additional content. This chapter is a behemoth. You can technically speed run right through the main portion of the chapter, which takes place entirely in the Gold Saucer, but if you’re trying…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 11: The Long Shadow of Shinra

    Oh boy, we’ve arrived at Nibelheim… The surrounding area here was a bit of a surprise, but I like it. The entire coastal region with the islands and caves were a nice touch, the river leading up to the Chocobo Sage was beautiful, and the bridge to Nibelheim felt ominous, until it opens up around…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 10: Watcher of the Vale

    Finally, a full video without any audio issues! Watcher of the Vale brings us to Cosmo Canyon, home of Nanaki (AKA Red XIII), and after living in Las Vegas for 6-7 years, this zone’s landscape is Western America in a bottle. It’s gorgeous. It reminded me of so many of the hikes I’ve gone on…

  • Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Chapter 9: The Planet Stirs

    This is the second longest chapter in the game, so if you’re just starting Chapter 9, get ready for a ton of content to get through. For example: Aside from the difficulties I ran into navigating Gongaga (your mileage may vary), I actually really liked this zone. You get a solid Cloud freak-out scene, and…
