What is this other "Action" game? FFT, FFTA, FFXII, and... ?
Also, how are they going to fill up 13 retrospectives?
The only thing I can think of is...
10: Gameboy games
11: Mystic Quest and Crystal Chronicles
12: Chocobo's Dungeon
13: Overall summary?

Vagrant Story. It's an older game, released around the time IX came out- it's set in some continent featured in XII, which confirmed the story was related to FF. It also has some references to characters in FFT. I don't much more about it though, and I'm excited to see it.

Despite the fact FFT probably won't get featured in the next episode for more than four minutes.

--------------------

FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.

I'm under the impression that like the Phantasy Star Online games, is it online only?

yes. a friend bought it (not having internet) just to find out he couldn't play it.

since beating vagrant story about a month ago, it has become one of my favorite games ever. hopefully they feature it, i think it'd be a real treat.

meanwhile, my computer broke again, forcing me to use the handicapped "safe mode" which prevents me from seeing videos

This one should've said more about Tactics, and XII's story.

Agreed. I enjoyed it but felt it could've said more about Tactics' plot.

As for the next episode, I'm wondering if my interest will diminish seeing as the numbered series is done.

I really liked this one. Sadly, it makes me wanna play CC again, though.

That was interesting. Much moreso than Part X. As for Part XII, having very little experience in the first six games, I probably won't get nearly as much out of it as most people, but will be interesting nonetheless.

This retrospective has been great to watch. They've done a great job of telling an honest history of the games, without being outright negative to any given title, E.G. when they talked about VIII and X-2, two titles that seem to be less than favorites by a lot of fans. It's all just a lot of fun to really get a behind the scenes feel for some of my favorite games, and see how it's grown into this megahuge franchise.

Did anyone ever the comedienne who referenced FF Legends?

Part XII is now up, and seems to cover the various remakes (not watched it myself yet).

Ah, awesome. (Though this episode took forever for them to make...)

I can't wait for the final episode, sounds pretty damn exciting. I hope we don't all have to wait too long for this one.

That was a great chapter. I'm unsure whether I want to pick up a PSP or not, but with a number of remakes available on the PSP, I'm thinkin' about pickin' one up, though I've never been big on handheld consoles.

Part XIII will be fun to watch as it wraps up this great Retrospective piece.

That final episode...was just awesome. I loved every second of it.

I feel sad, knowing that I will no longer be looking forward to a new chapter every week.
