  • Oh man, this is my favourite FF game too!

  • Rydia is like Nel from bleach. A little girl with green hair that kicks ass, and actually turns out to be a really hot chick.

  • 4 & 6 are my favorite sir!!~ I grew up with the two via the snes :l

  • You should use Gilbert when you get the chance. He's by far the best character in the game (especially if you get Loki's Lute and the ring-whose-name-I-have-forgott­en that allows you to replace sing with Chant, which gives every party member protect and shell.

    He goes from incredibly spoony to incredibly broken in a matter of minutes.

    Trust me, I've tried.

  • Awwww Yeah! 

  • are you going to name edward spoony cause that would be totally awesome

  • Is there a way to use a monitor as a big screen for the PSP? (not including recording software or anything). Handhelds kind of kill my neck...

  • Awesome HC

  • Favorite all time game too hands down. Ill be watching :).

  • This is totally my favourite Final Fantasy as well xD That is fantastic~

  • God damn. Square Enix really knows how to make such excellent FMV's combined with traditional Final Fantasy Music. Just watching + listening, while it's not necessarily "emotional", it already gets me a shocked up a bit. This is one of the reasons why I love the series. The game hasn't even started and it already brings me in that state.

  • I never beated a Final Fantasy Game unless u count da chocobo ones closest one done for me 7 i keep dying on sephiroth

  • something about this game is.. im. playing right now cause of NCS ...i thing i got dissapointed was.. some cutscene was from DS i think.

  • They need to do a similar remake for ff5 & ff6.This was the perfect example of a perfect remake!

  • Regardless of the bugs, the GBA version still deserves A LOT of praise thanks to the bonus content, IMO. Best bonus content EVER.

  • I actually just bought this. I will play alongside with you.

  • final fantasy 4....so hard on the ds

  • Soooo XIII-2....Thoughts?

  • I'll be getting a PSP and this game in February for my birthday! Can't wait! This LP is sure to be kickass!

  • Looks like we both agree on what we consider to be the best RPG ever, HCBailly! I thought I was alone in believing that FFIV was the best of the series - or ever. I was actually moved during the end of the opening when the party attacks Golbez... such a great game and an amazing story. Thanks for planning an LP of this!

  • @HCBailly Are you playing on the console ?

  • @08francklin He hooked up his PSP to recording hardware and he'll be directly recording it from that I believe.

  • my only complaint about Final Fantasy IV DS was that Kain and Palom weren't left handed

  • awww i was hoping 12 would be next

  • How "soon" is soon enough viewers for the Interlude and After Years? I hope that they are side LPs as soon as this Main LP is finished. Also, did you happen to pick up XIII-2 today?

  • If you didn't know HCBailly loved this game,you knew nothing about HCBailly.

  • Which part do you have to play first, considering timeline?

    Normal game > Interlude > After Years.... right?

  • @OnePieceFollower I'd assume that he would, It makes sense.

  • @GamingIdiot42Neo I meant in general :P That's the correct timeline right?

    Thnx for replying though ^^

  • what will be your main team for the game? will you switch around a lot or stick mostly to a single one?

    Maybe you could take votes on favorite characters and use the 4 most popular ones :P

  • I love this game. Nice to see you redoing it with all your new touches; the original one you did was good, but you've gotten so many more editing tricks since then so it'll be even better.

  • So it begins! I've been waiting so long for this LP!

  • Definitely looking forward to this one. One of the best games ever. :)

  • It's third favourite RPG for me and best in the Final Fantasy series. Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger will always be my favourites. Looking forward to this.

  • Oh yeah... Kain is totally wielding a Ryunohige. THAT AINT NO GUNGNIR.

  • This is my favorite RPG of all time.... I'm so glad your doing the PSP version as well...! Thank you!!! FFIV = THE BEST!

  • I just wanna clarify: are you saying that all the other versions of the game are all easier than the original SNES version of the game? And what exactly was wrong with the GBA version of the game?

  • This is my favorite game of all time too HCBailly..just got done with my second playthru of the psp version

  • Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait. I started watching you because of your great detail to Final Fantasy 9 and kept wondering what FF4 was like due to you always refer to it when playing 9, like in the supersoft scene how you said the twins were in the same situation as Blank. I've never played FF4 so I really cannot wait to see what you do with this.

    Thank you so much for what you do, you really are amazing at this and watching you play brings back some good memories.

  • FFIV is my favorite final fantasy game as well as one of my favorite games in general too, I've been watching you since your Chrono Trigger LP, and are looking forward to this gorgeous game by one of the better LP'ers on youtube. :)

  • cool, cant wait. 1 question hve y ever done ffxii or plan to, or do u only do relatively retro gamed

  • hey HCBailey! are there many differences between this version and the FF4 on the wii virtual console? i was hoping to play along.

  • @MrMarktie Pretty much every version is the same, except for the DS version.

  • Yang looks like such a badass.

  • YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

  • This gone be imazin. Yeea.

  • Cant wait for this majestic Lets play HC Bailly :D

  • I remember that this was a 2mb game back when it came out on the snes, which was big at the time. Imagine that this whole game has the equivalent amount of data to your everyday high res picture.

  • I do say it does look much cleaner than your last tech demo, best part is you get to show the game to it's fullest potential as well as really show how good the recording quality can look with just some simple tweaks, but it looks good HCbailly great actually and of course your welcome I always enjoy giving advice when it's wanted haha and man so much to look forward to come February now, Hell yeah!

  • IM GONNA PLAY DUODECIM NOW

  • HCBaily, from what I understand about Final Fantasy.. FF3 and FF6 are the same game except 3 is on NES and 6 is on SNES. Is that true? If I understood you right in this video, this game is a re-port of FF2 from NES? I have FF1, 2, and 3 all on my old computer and im wondering if those are worth playing or if I can find those games elsewhere. Thanks!

  • @bballgolf72 That's not correct. The numbering for the US was switched around a bit because several games were skipped outside of Japan. FFII (NA) on the SNES is actually FFIV. FFIII (NA) is actually FFVI. All later ports of these games reflect the proper numbering. They're all great games, but the NES titles can be tedious. I'd say if you have the ability, give them all a try and see what you like.

  • @tyrennobile Thank You!

  • HCBailly will you be making an LP of Final Fantasy XIII-2?

  • @gamerkid44311 duh he does almost all FF Games

  • lol miner spoilers in the cutscene >.>

  • I might have to play along with this one. The agony of finding space on my memory cards though...

  • why r y going has original soundtrack ?

  • Are you gonna leave your old run of FFIV up? Or will this one replace it completely?

  • @s4ad0wpi

    It'd be pretty silly to remove his old LP just because he made one with the improved version.

  • @bleedingxxaurora Some LPers will redo an LP, and remove the original version. I was wondering if he was gonna do that, or if he would leave both LP's up.

  • @s4ad0wpi

    That's bonkers!

    Why not have double the fun?

  • @bleedingxxaurora Well, most of the time, they redo an LP because they didn't like the quality, or because they feel that they've become a better LPer sense the first one. As such, they want to forget all about the original LP.

  • @s4ad0wpi To each his own. I wouldn't want to forget my past and how far I've come since then. Still, I want to give the original FF4 the proper treatment. It deserves better.

  • @s4ad0wpi I'll leave the old one up.

  • FEBRUARY IS TOO FAR AWAY!!!!!! :(

  • Cool, Final Fantasy IV was one of my favorite LPs by you. Cant wait for this one.

  • cant wait!

  • SO EXCITED!!

    

  • It has the original sounds just like Pokémon HeartGold! Cool!

  • Wait until February? You make me wait too long :P, anyway, even though ive only played ff13 and ff3 (DS version) I still think ff4 is the best (followed by ff9), but anyway, heres to a fantastic LP

  • I'm glad your finally getting started on this ive also just completed the DS version and it was HARD i mean scarmiglion screwed me over like 15 times before i beat him

  • Am i the only one expecting HCBailly to say something really funny when we meet Rydia and later (if you know what i mean) because of how many times he has said that he likes Green haired girls ;)

  • @Cheerfuljochan I wonder if hes watched Higurashi, if so i can only imagine how he reacted xD

  • I'm so looking forward to this lets play. its gonna rock my world!

  • I can't wait to see you Lp this game!!! :D

  • i remember I was bored one day so I started playing the ps1 version using the dance pad from my copy of ddr something or other got to tell you playing this with your feet is a whole new challenge but is super fun if you can handle it

  • FF IV also my favorite of all time

  • I.Love.This.Game HCBailly you are so awesome!!

  • HC Bailly playing his favourite rpg of all time! Can't wait!

  • Kain, the most bi polar character ever, and my favorite final fantasy character of all time, you actually get to see his face in the new dissidia that came out a couple months ago, cant wait to see this LP....super excited, the game that got me into RPG in the first place

  • Its a tie between FF6 and FF4 for me, both are pure ppure pure pure pure pure pure amazing

  • @Lirrink1776 same here man. same here :D

  • The best part about this is that it's my favorite game too. And this was uploaded on my birthday.

  • Thanks a bundle Henri, your excitement was really overflowing and just gave me the motivation to finally go through heaps of junk to find my handheld games which I get the occasional urge to play. Now with the LP I think I'll have the patience to finish it also.

  • Will you be using Auto-Battle a lot? I know I did.

  • This is awesome, can't wait for you to begin this LP. Have a question though HCBailly, since the bonus features from the GBA version was carried over to this one, will you be showing off the bonus dungeons, and all the extra stuff that the original game didn't have?

  • SO EXCITE

  • YES! First time I saw that intro and it rocks. LOVED the twins!

  • @schwindsichtiga The first time I saw it, it was on the DS. That was a while ago, I kinda forgot if it uses both screens in the intro.

  • Hoping they give FF6 some of the same treatment they gave this one in the future.

  • @Zenryu7 I agree!

  • @Zenryu7 I was hoping the same for FFV also

  • @Zenryu7 ff6 is so great and perfect they dony need to remake it.

  • But...You've already done FFIV!

  • @PokeymanTrainer

    ff4 is like that though. Once you play YOU CAN NEVER STOP.

  • @PokeymanTrainer He's re-played a bunch of his past LPs (e.g. Arcana, Seiken Densetsu III), and this is a completely new version, as he said. Much cleaner translation, sharper graphics, an interlude and the After Years, etc.

  • So you go through Ffiv again, then do the after years?

  • I AM GOING TO WATCH ALL OF IT AND LOVE IT

  • how do you record from a psp ?

  • @knatte95

    He's using AV cables to connect his PSP to his TV and he's using a capture card to record his TV screen from his computer.

  • Hell yeah, Final fantasy FUUUUUUUUUUUU as I call it because of all the revamped things from the original.

    Oh, How are you going to handle spoilers since you've already played this game once? Same as always?

  • @roetemeteor He plays all the games he LPs like five times before he LPs them.

    I don't think it'll be that much of a problem for HC.

  • I love the music for the beginning so much. It's a masterful combination of the Theme of Love, the World Map Theme, and the Main Theme of the game. I love it!

  • Aww, no arranged soundtrack? I was hoping you'd show it off. Oh well.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmhmmmmm­mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm FF4 my favurite

  • I have only played the original SNES version of this game, and I really didnt care for it. I love what the PSP has done to all the FF games released on it so Im hoping this version will spark interest in me, enough so I can play and beat it. Weirdly enough I have beaten FF1,2,3,5,6,7,9 But not 8 or 4, just cant do it... Its weird. But if anyone can make me interested in a game, HCBailly is the man!

  • Hello this is HCBailly and welcome to Let's Play Final Fantasy IV... I love when he says that. And have a good day.

  • ive played all the final fantasy games through 13 (excepting 11), while haveing some conflicts with gameplay elements or other things that kinda mess the game up, nine has to be my favorite gameplay wise, graphics wise is 13, and story wise would go to eight, but it would need to flesh it out alot, and fill in the plotholes first, so instead it goes to four, so nine, thirteen, and four, hcbailly is now doing, or has already done, all my favorite final fantasy games

  • FF4 is one of my favorite ones behind 7 and 10 cant wait to see you go through it i never finished it

  • This is also MY favorite final fantasy game and the the RPG that beats it is Tales of Vesperia in my opinion. Gonna watch this LP religiously :P

  • *the only 

  • TO THE MOOOON

  • THIS MUSIC... sob.... *manly tears*

  • What a great way to start an lp HCBaiily :D

  • If you had to choose between the DS version and PSP version, which one would you prefer?

  • @demonicstrife09 I'd choose the PSP version because of the battle mechanics, though I do love how they fleshed out the story in the DS version better.

  • My favorite ff is ff6

  • ff8 is my favorite and the very first game i ever played on the playstation i just fell in love with it it is my all time favorite game and my favorite in the series i am a huge ff buff as well

    i haven't really played any of the ff under 7 but i really want to so i might have to go get a psp unless i will be able to play all the ff on psp on the vita

  • Seriously looking forward to this.

  • YES :D FFIV Is my second favourite Final Fantasy :D

  • Since this is an updated LP kinda, will we get voice acting from HCBailly from the text?

  • @thakpn1 If you want that sort of a thing, I suggest you watch NintendoCaprison.

  • HCBailly, since some music pieces are replayed a lot (like the regular dungeon theme), I was wondering why not switch over to the new arrangement for the length of a dungeon or so. That way, we can experience a taste of the new arrangement., while still enjoying the original bgm.

  • Love it when remakes of games give you the option to hear/enable the original sound track (And I mean the music it had in it's original version).

    Bit Like HeartGold/SoulSilver where you get an item that lets you hear the original music from Gold and Silver.

  • Yay, Final Fantasy IV is by far my favourite in the series and was the first I played. I'm so looking forward to this! HCBailly, you're an awesome man!

  • HCBaily, the last 30 seconds got me so pumped, i cant wait for the lp to start.

  • My favorite Rpg is Disgaea. Great story, characters, and stats and levels that could make any good man cry. Though the grinding is a pain in the ass sometimes. It's still a fun game, if you like Tactical Rpgs/JRpgs.

  • Lol at the 1 dislike.... wonder who it is?

  • Damn you HC Baily, I'm too spoiled on your already completed LPs, I guess I'll distract myself from this lp by watching Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, although I've played both and played through if not most then half of the endings in Trigger...

    lots of my life was spent on those endings.

  • Dear HCBailly, I'm writing to you to inform that I as well think FF4 is THE best game of all time. I remember playing the anthology version on the ps1 so much that my parents actually almost threw the console away because of the "loud plingplong calculator sounds" that I would just listen for hours even when not playing the game itself :D

  • how do you record from your psp hc if i may ask o-o? do you have a custom firmware?

  • FF4 is up there on my list but my favourite RPG is Rouge Galaxy for the PS2

  • HELL YES!!!!

  • Well may favourite FF is still FF9 but this one is up there. I've only played vis the DS version and that was good and difficult enough for me to enjoy it.

  • I'm hoping HC will bring back his scooby doo impersonation he did way back when he first lp'ed this game. Good times..,

  • I'm so jacked for this

  • I didn't really like ff4 cause I felt the world was too big and i got lost all the time , that's why i preferred ff13 and especially ff13-2 which is a million times better then the original , yeah I know i'm a casual ff player

  • @postnjam

    So you never played FFVIII or XII...

  • @postnjam i can see the contradiction, i hate the linear style and no overworld since ff 10, yeah i know im a bit more than casual ff player.

  • I just know that opening theme is gonna be played at my wedding. Looking forward to it, HCBailly!

  • Didn't the GBA version allow you to use any of the characters after the essential plot points? It may have been glitchy, but I *really* liked that about that version of the game.. Most of my favorites are the under appreciated characters who get pushed to the side.

  • @Icedevimon13

    Near the ending you can change the team, but that version have too much ATB bugs. PSP version is cool, but I prefer the fan translation of the first japanese SNES game.

  • HCBailly, how do you plan to handle the bonus dungeon in this game?

  • I'm so excited!

  • I wonder how you will handle this. You already made an FF4 LP before.

  • DS version is the best imo

  • i have this game and im at the final part :P

  • I hope Interlude and After Years don't come too much further after this one. They're what I'm really wanting to see but I refuse to tip any of my money toward Square-Enix these days :P

  • This always has been and always will be my favorite game ever. its perfect in every way.

  • I dunno. Having watched a few lps of the original game for the snes i wouldnt mind the new soundtrack. Would be refreshing.

  • I have never played this game. Looking forward to follow it. :)

  • i'm looking forward to this LP

  • firts final fantansy 4 secon interlude ther the after years I don all this games

  • Love this game can't wait for it Hcbaily :D I prefer the arranged soundtrack tho

  • I loved this game! I only played the gba version on my phone via emulator but it was easily one of my favorites! The ds trailer also gets me so pumped when I see it!! Can't wait for this :D

  • the only version of this game that i have played was final fantasy legacy what was an online version of this where you can play with friends

  • I don't know why, but I always feel that when you begin a new LP, you would start it off with "This is HCBailly, signing in". :P

  • Goosebumps near the end, looking forward to seeing this one HC! ^_^

  • HCBAILLY!!!!!!!! I am have been waiting for this. And now we all expect you to but everything to this, cos atleast it is your best FF :D

  • Hm. I've been avoiding this game for a while. Might give it a try now. Probably my least favorite game in the series though. *prepares for backlash*

  • @bajeezus1234 *backlash*

  • @divick630 *explode* I wasn't prepared for that.

  • I actually liked the remastered soundtrack more than the original BGM on the PSP.

  • Can't wait I'm so looking forward to it

  • Wohooo! Incoming alot of nostalgia moments <3

  • 1:48 is incredible. I love this arrangement

  • I have owned this game for several months now but never got the change to complete it. I will start again and play allong ^^

  • @HCBailly I hope you include the interlude and the after years as part of the main project or at least do them in sequential order although you probably would do that anyway, but just to let you know it can't be considered complete without the interlude and the after years included with the main game. i will leave the decision up to you though

  • This is my favorite Final Fantasy game. So I got to ask HCBailly, what is your fastest time it took for you to beat the Super Nintendo Version of the game. My Fast time was just under 12 hour. I know more trick though so if I tried hard enough, I might be able to beat it in under 9 hour.

  • Zeromus didnt like this D:

  • Epic. The way you timed your favorites talk at the end so that the Title came up as you were talking about it was great. Really looking forwards to this LP, and seeing how it might differ from the original LP you did.

  • So is getting the game on the PSP a better (not to mention cheaper) choice than downloading the original and the After Years separately on the Wii? The Wii versions are what my original plan was since I tend to get further in RPGs if I'm playing them on a console instead of a handheld, but if the PSP version is better I might as well take it. I mean, I'll need SOMETHING to play while my sister's hogging the TV to play FFXIII-2! I mean other than the PSP game I got for my Bday last week. LOL

  • @TheInunah Yes, definitely.  It's far cheaper, and The After Years is much nicer to look at on the PSP, plus bonus content.
