  • Ever get this strange feeling of deja vu? Idunno, it's probably nothin.

  • Anyway, back in medieval times the signet ring was literally the signature (thus where we get that word and its purpose) of the nobility. You don't often see signet rings and wax seals being used anymore these days, at least by today's royals. The exception would lie with the Pope and with wax seal enthusiasts. But anyway, I better get back to the rest of this series, get caught up. Scientia potentia est. :)

  • Bravo on the FF4 redux. I love what they did with the graphics for this remake, reminds me of the SNES remake of the original Super Mario Bros trilogy. Anyway, you probably had many a fan school you on the definition of a signet but I couldn't help but present an add. 'Signet' is also derived from the Latin 'signum' meaning 'sign.' The signet ring was often used by many a noble to authenticate a message or document, much like the King of Baron used his seal to authorize Cecil and Kain's mission

  • Final Fantasy I, II & III only had 3 levels of cure, so I think Curaja started with this game.

  • What are LP's Long Plays?

  • After a small hiatus from your LPs, I'm back, and I can't wait to see what happens. No one does Final Fantasy better than HCBailly.

  • cecil: could this be punishment from the gods

    me: cosmos and chaos? (even though the cycles of war technically are not happen at this point

  • This the DLC version or the psp? just got the psp version but havent poped it in sicne its my 6th FF4 game and would be like 20th time to play it lol

  • @Adowel123 SNES, PS1, GBA, DS? Counting After years as its own as well ?

  • @Electricbassguy I also got the Super Famicon version off of Ebay just cause i like having it in my FF collection.

  • Yeah, the first four or five games of the Final Fantasy series always had four Cure levels.

    Later, they dropped it until 13, in which they added -ja and -sa. Which, frankly, felt quite weird to me. Heheh....

  • Signets are a type of ring used for putting a wax seal on letters. The Duke Atreides used one in "Dune". (which seems like a very HCBailyish movie in my oppinion)

  • The song at the end reminded me so much of ffxii

  • a signet is a type of ring usaully gold that has a coin engraved into it, my granddad made one for my brother but he doesnt wear it

  • what system is this available for?

  • @nintendoguy66 he is playing the psp version

  • yep they did cencoure the drunk thing...... sry if some1 already said that but im too lazy to check

  • Lol got the Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ad :P

  • @HCBailly @11:15, I was proud of you for not saying " 'Grousing?!?' What does that even mean? Well, I can guess..."

  • This game (ffiv psp, not after years) is soooo much easier than the ds version.. I was like realllly??? But it's my fav game of all time.. so.. it's cool

  • @thchampdee the ds version took all the tricks we knew from the original FF4 game, and tricked us if we used the same strategy for the PS/SNES version to the DS version.

  • @thchampdee I thought the same thing. I wished they had a hard mode you could turn on but well, it goes back to the original SNES version when Cecil was invincible as a Dark Knight.

  • Awesome, I'll definitely be watching this... (wonder why you didn't set it to active time battle) :?

  • On the SNES, is FF2 really FF4? I want to know this because i'm planning on getting it.

  • @Sonamyfan875 Yes. There are some minor differences, but this LP would apply to it.

  • @HCBailly There's Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 for the NES, then this V and VI for the snes and onward...

  • Why do the graphics look different from the opening, is the opening for the other games in the colection?

  • Dark knights are badass and so are dragoons its why i like this game so much

  • yeeesssss he's still doing words of the day ^.^

  • It sucks to get demoted from the NHL, especially if you played for one of the better teams. :P

  • But can we defeat the eidolon? - Nope, but you're welcome to slaughter another bunch of innocent people ;)

  • I have to try getting back into hcbailly and this is a good start

  • A Signet is a ring that has a sybolic seal set into it. Old kings used them by dripping wax onto their letters and stamping the wax with their signet, making it an official document form the king.

    Good video as always HCBaily, i love all of you odd ways of saying things. A SEEcret PASSAgeee!

  • HCBailly are you going to do a Lets play of Final Fantasy 13-2?

  • Biagan/C was one of my fav characters. I wish he really did join the party later on

  • Ummmm, how is Epic Rap Battles of History in the related videos again?

  • Dang. I was gonna do a let's play for this version of this game! Oh well. It'll probably be better if YOU do it. I LOVE YOUR LET'S PLAYS!!!

  • HCBaily, wait to do your let's play of FF X. Do the PS3 remake when it comes out! :)

  • "All too easy." Shao Khan?

    I pretty sure "eidolon" has an emphasis on the first syllable.

  • "Come to join me in bed?" HC you're too funny!!! hahaha

  • Oh man, so happy to see you do this, HCBailly. I missed the original run you did of FFIV so glad to see you tackle the update.

  • is this only on psp?

  • @xMUSTEDx I think this collection came out on ps2 first...

  • @bajan13k no it didn't this is it's only relase

  • Signet: A seal, as on a ring, used in marking documents as official, etc.

  • HAS hc done a FFX or FFXII

  • They should totally remake FF7 :)

  • I love this game. GO HCBAILLY! =]

  • I think that a signet is a stamp on a ring that people use to use in place of a signature

  • Im already liking the details I've noticed that were added to this version,the character sprites being sharp with detailed design,the dialogue seems enhanced well enough and how on the world mad the caste stands tall instead of looking like a sticker on paper,lol although I like that about the snes version,Im eager to see these enhanced details in some scenes later in the game,like with that signet

  • The sense I always got was that indeed, it was a demotion. Cecil's too disloyal to have such a pristine position as captain of Baron's resident air force, but still too strong a dark knight to be fired entirely.

  • Wow, this version really IS way better than the others.

    Someteam really put effort into the PSP version.

    Now if only there was an uncensored version with all the original content... oh well, censorship unfortunatly only became worse with the time.

  • HCBaily.. he doesn't say insolent FOOL.. he actually says.. "insolent CUR" but what exactly is a CUR!? did i miss something..? :o

  • i played this once, then ragequit after i died, forgot to save for like 4 hours

  • HCbaily, what if Cecil is afraid of the dark and he needs the moon to sleep. He's only a dark knight so people will never suspect him.

  • And we return to what is one of my favorites as well.

    "peasant village... burning it to the ground" - Leave us alone, Mel Brooks!

    Teaching us to kill for crystal (meth): great job, game.

    Nice reference to your Minecraft vid.

    Eidolon? Still prefer Esper or just plain Summon.

    Gremlins reference near the end, nice.

  • how long has it been sinds you said ''welcome to final fantasy IV!!''

  • In case anyone hasn't answered a signet is a mark of noblity. Usually on a ring to be used upon wax seals on royal letters or such.

  • It's dangerous to go alone... Please take this sword lol

  • HCBailly How come in previous LP's you talk alot about Dragon Quest 4? Will you ever LP it or another of the games in the future? Just wanted to ask.

  • @L3WCore He has said that he will be doing the Nintendo DS version of Dragon Quest IV after finishing Final Fantasy IV. I am looking forward to it.

  • Finally HCBailly I've waited for this!! :)

  • This version of the game looks the best that I have seen by far.

    I'm glad they take the time to enhance the game for some of the newer game systems.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this Let's Play!

  • what console is this?

  • @judgment666 Psp only, there were several other releases of it, the original snes, Gba(not exactly sure on this one since i never really got it for the gba), nintendo ds and playstation 1, this is the most recent and most popular considering thatthis has the original game with good graphics (Not like the ds's COMPLETE overhaul wich is extremely irritating), But it also has a wii side story called the afterstory, then a brand new spot inbetween FF4 and afterstory called interlude

  • @ktsjr15 The Super Famicom and SNES versions could be considered different versions from each other

  • @ff2paladin Oh yes i completely agree with you there, but if i remember there were not any huge changes to the game there

  • @ktsjr15 koo thank you for the info!! =D

  • @judgment666 Psp

  • @judgment666 PSP

  • Kain - The ORIGINAL bad ass in the Final Fantasy series. Dragoons are so ****ing bad ass.

  • If you played FFXI you would know what a signet is :) Hehe!

  • SLEEP IN FULL ARMOR

    LIKE A BOSS

  • SO EXCITED

  • I started playing final fantasy 4 when I was 5. Played it 35 times by the time I was 10. Now I have played it easy over 60 times by now...Already speed run this game 9 times...I don't have an addiction at all. ;)

  • what makes me a good demo-man? by watching HCBailly! on smidgen of less and kablooie!

  • Wait, I don't have to Defend every turn?! Damn it!

  • "Eidolons..."

    This makes me happy. FF9 references for the win.

  • How does Cecil sleep in the moonlight? Simple. He just puts the visor down on his helmet... :)

  • Oh, HC. As a fellow Let's play-er, You have the voice of a god. I mean that.

  • You know, I liked the voice acting in the DS port. I think they really did a good job (of course it would feel weird with 2d graphics). I haven't beaten that version yet. I love it but the problem is it's difficulty was sent through the roof.

    eg. I had to grind to get reflect in the GBA port for the one, special, boss. I got it naturally in the DS port.

  • Cant wait to see the difference between this and your old play through =]

  • And so begins my favorite game of all time! And, this has probably become my favorite version of this game. It was given a modern overhaul, while still being completely faithful to the original. I like the remastered soundtrack, but I also like the decision to use the original one, because that one is awesome, too.

    Then, @ 16:50, when the classic FF theme kicks in, and Cecil & Kain exit the castle to begin their adventure...it just gives me goosebumps!

  • This is what I thought the DS version would be like..update the graphics and sound and all, tweak a few things, and keep the difficulty roughly the same. I did eventually beat it but never want to play it again..now, this game doesn't look like it's worth getting the system for by itself..but if they remade FFVI...yeah, that would do it.

    The original soundtrack is just upping the nostalgia factor that much more.

  • Ah, the Red Wings. Always pretend Cecil is Yzerman and Kain, Fedorov :P

  • Wow...these are such wonderful graphics. They sure show that good old sprites can still be beautiful, even with all the high tech CGI that a lot of games use today.

  • I love that he remade this series. :)

  • Just enough new to polish up the old, love the look of this version

  • So right after I finish FFIV, NCS starts his LP of it! Now, right after he is done, you start your LP of it!

  • Guys, guys, guys... Atlus might reprint Radiant Historia. :o They asked on their Facebook today if people would buy it if it was reprinted.

  • 9:40 To soon HCBailly. To soon.... :(

  • whats the name of the intro song?

  • @valmanzar16 at the very beginning, Prelude (Crystal Scales)

  • Now they need to do the same thing with ff5. Then I'll be happy.

  • Having watched NintendoCapriSun's LP of this game and watching SuperJeenius's blind LP of this game, I'm very excited to see your take on this game (even though you've done it years before)!

  • The quality of the video is just fantastic as always. I had a chance to play this version recently and I have to say I fell in love with it. Anyone who has yet to play this game is in for a real treat :)

  • Hahaha this is like the 3rd ff4 letsplay in my sub box... Hmm and im playing it too and my friend was a while ago... •_•

  • is this version the same difficulty as the DS one

  • @Redsoxboy77 Absolutely not. It's the easy version of FF IV.

  • @Redsoxboy77 i think the psp one is easier

  • hmm, so the Soldiers in the beginning have not be retroactively renamed. They still feel the need to keep shock value for anyone who later plays AY?

  • @ff2paladin What makes this more confusing is that they are named in Interlude, which is still chronologically prior to AY

  • 9:10 Kain doesn't need a room. He just jumps really high and goes to sleep. He wakes up every morning just before hitting the ground so he can land on his feet.

  • @Unclevertitle lol!

  • Still the greatest opening sequence in video game history! :-)

  • @HCBailly Which system is this version for?

  • @AxelAction PSP

  • Tell you the truth, I've never played FF4 when I was a kid. Only after watching your LP's of the older FF games (1-5) got me interested in playing them. And to say if I did play this game way back when, FF4 would definitely be on my top favorite FF games.

  • I love this game. Thanks HC!

  • This final fantasy has the BEST cid EVER. I hope they didn't remove the part where he gives the finger.

  • I just love the music when the game starts. im not sure the name of it

  • @nasur86 When he turns it on?  Prelude

  • @ff2paladin i actually looked it up on here. its cecil's theme

  • @nasur86 If you're referring to when you see them on the airship, then yes, it's Cecil's Theme (aka the Red Wings' Theme)

  • @HCBailly who is your favorite character from this game? Mine is Definitely Kain.

  • I absolutely love 16:50

  • @Randomizer903

    It does that do me every time I play it too.....

  • If I watch this Let's Play, I will likely remember SirRonLionheart's voices and personallities for each character.

    Like how Cecil eats gravel, for three-square meals.

  • Nice Gremlins reference

  • sorry i didn't make sence

  • cool your awesome by the way NCS

  • I had a dream lastnight that I had started over on this game, and found a rare drop straight away in one of the early caverns. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a Scythe and when I equipped it on T____ (spoilers) his attack went up to 26. Then I decided to put in a game genie code so that I could get all the rare drops. Then I woke up.

  • @NintendoCapriSun Did you dream about it, ya know, IN THE BATHROOM?

  • @NintendoCapriSun message me about that NCS i want to know more about this weapon

  • @NintendoCapriSun TA-TOILET T______

  • @NintendoCapriSun can't get enough of those Game Genie hacks, can you? Haha. Your LP of this was great, btw. Very entertaining.

  • No active battle mode, HC?

  • 04:35

    That is a very ugly room. It would look a lot better if it were narrower & maybe had some sort of decorative statues.

  • That moment of the game where Cecil and Kain, two childhood friends and comrades, depart on their adventure of a lifetime as the epic music's playing.... is one of my favorite RPG moments in my gaming life.

  • A signet is a ring with a design on it that lets people know the person with the ring speaks on behalf of the ring's real owner, usually a lord or a king.

  • in all honesty in the military taking another's life is a last resort, unless your life is in emediate danger and you have been given the orders that deadly force is nessasary

  • HCBailly, have you ever got one of the dropped summons when playing any FF4 version?

  • @slymily Yes, I've gotten them several times after having played it 30+ times.

  • @HCBailly no joke you played ff4 30+ times

  • @awsome2031 Probably more like 40. I lost count.

  • @HCBailly I've easily put that into Chrono Trigger. Find a game you love, and its not hard to play it that much.

  • I played the PSP version of FFIV on a road trip, only discover that the text somehow became screwed up and mixed togeather on my PSP. No mroe FFIX or IV for me anymore. Thanks for the LP HCBaily.

  • Oh I loved the GBA version. I'm not sure what people find so wrong about it. If there were any issues, I never ran into any of them. In fact, I loved the "new content" added to it, if you get what I mean? Best secret boss ever. Too bad they never expanded upon that for the After Years. Wouldn't that be something?

  • Im a big fan of the 2D Psp version , yet the cinematics and voice acting of the DS 3d version is great.=) Both give a similar yet distinctly different level of enjoyment. If you can , try both. =P

  • i cant listen to the main theme of this game without thinking of brentalflosses' lyrics

  • I'm getting nostalgia for a let's play... :p

  • Hi HCBailly little "thumbs up" from France !

    I discovered your channel a cloudy day, looking for a walkthrough for Final Fantasy 9, and let me tell you one sing, I loved your video instantaneously !

    You are really awesome, i really like the way you describe a game, and act like you don't know the story or what will happen next.

    So thanks a lot for all you video i'll continue to watch your great job !

    Good night :)

  • 11:38 Three idiots reference

  • Haha, I love Kain! Probably my favorite character in FFIV.

  • Cecil...he's the hero Baron deserves, just not the one is needs right now. He has to leave, he is...a Dark Knight!

  • Cecil still answers to the King's command. He just lost his position as captain of the Red Wings, but he is still a knight of Baron... Well, at least for now.

  • Wow I might have to go pick this up 4 used to be my favorite of the first 6 but ive only ever beat 1 and 4

  • @rsmovingbush Hey, at least you've completed the two most difficult Final Fantasies ;)

  • @RockBanned most difficult wow really? 1 wasn't at all tough and I figured out the rat tail to level up heroes classes without a faq, and 4 was not tough at all untill i hit the last dungeon. Many save state was done the day I hit the last dungeon in 4.

  • @rsmovingbush All those things are true. My point is that all of the other ones are still less difficult. Well maybe not 3..I've actually never played 3 to be honest, so I can't say for sure.

  • we didnt hav this technology when i was young

  • Can I play along with the DS version I got stuck so Dx?

  • HCBailly, do you plan on LPing The After Years?

  • It seems like this game was made with exactly you in mind, HC.

  • @speyeker Yeah, pretty much. It does everything right, in my book.

  • Yes nostalgia from back when I watched your original FFIV LP. This also means the return of the "secret passage!" line :D

  • The helmsman on the air ship needs to cut back on the coffee. I doubt that the gears in the steering mechanism are tight enough to actually respond to those twitchy movements.

  • Whoa. The game looks nice, but I don't have a PSP.

  • Okay, when you said you thought this version looked better than the DS version with its full 3D character models and scenes I didn't believe it, but holy cow! This is beautiful!

  • I have to get a PSP!!!!!

  • HCBaillyisms i've heard so far:

    MONSTERS!

    Treasuuuuuuuurrrrree!

    Final.. FANTASY... FOOOOOOOOUR

    NO.

    But thou muuust!

  • You forgot to mention that Kain just made a reference from Final Fantasy II.

  • I like the intro they had in the advance version it was really cool.

  • I would of liked it if they had brought some of the extra cutscenes from the ds version over to the complete collection. For example, I believe when you talk to kain at this point in the game for the first time it shows a scene of cecil and kain training.

  • My favorite of all final fantasy games. I enjoy the zeromus final boss its so dang fun.

  • Will the bonus dungeons be part of the main Let's Play?

  • I feel like this is a bit lazy compared to the DS version, they had voice overs and actual custscenes that looked AMAZING even with the DS's low poly count

    I am disappoint

  • I never really watched far into your FF4 LP, so I guess this is the one to watch from now on.

  • I think there is a typo in the description HCBailly, you wrote sans instead of and I think.

  • Finally got my internet back today and this was on my front page. :-)

  • im really looking forward to this LP FF4 and 6 are my personal favs sooo.... :D

  • HC Bailly, my only request is that when you encounter the "babbling giants" you keep the voice over to a minimum so that we can all enjoy the best piece of JRPG music ever written.

  • Oh man, the original world map theme takes me back. Such a good composition.
