Pretty great, great production values and pretty funny

Well done CH

/Slay me for 60+ hours of mini games if old (searched but found nothing)

Tenki · Jul 29, 2015

The village in flames and the people still having the same dialogues lmao

georly · Jul 29, 2015

Pretty accurate. Loved the dinosaur bit.

Dmonzy · Jul 29, 2015

So... many... cliches...

Hades Hotgun · Jul 29, 2015

I enjoyed it. Especially the FFTactics sprites.

Arthr2ShdsJcksn · Jul 29, 2015

Hey, I heard that monsters are coming back.

Pretty good, although the voice of the sexy henchwoman/final boss was slightly annoying.

Ladekabel · Jul 29, 2015

I heard a rumor that monsters are coming back!

Edit.: Goddamn

Second try: I can't wait to see the crystal shard!

Blobbers · Jul 29, 2015

Did the makers of this video only play Square JRPGs?

Eh, chuckled barely once. 3.5/10 it was a below average experience.

StrangeTaco · Jul 29, 2015

Im not usually a big collegehumor fan but that was pretty damn good.

Hugstable · Jul 29, 2015

Seems to mostly just be a riff on FF6/7 doesn't it?

BlackJace · Jul 29, 2015

JK I have two forms

Savitar · Jul 29, 2015

SIGH

Times are tough.

TimeEffect · Jul 29, 2015

See, why cant there actually be a game like this?

I feel like some indie team would have capitalized on a self-aware parody RPG

VegiHam · Jul 29, 2015

Rolled my eyes at the start. Thought it was going to just point out cliches it stopped being funny to mock in 2005. Was delightfully surprised. Loved the CGI; and the 'you were the final crystal' bit was hilarious.

This attack is powered by our love!

bobawesome · Jul 29, 2015

Because every JRPG is Final Fantasy, right? I usually get a chuckle or two out of their videos but this did nothing for me.

18-Volt · Jul 29, 2015

Seems like "every Final Fantasy ever". It was pretty funny nonetheless.

Sexy henchmen? Final boss? I can only think of the one in Golden Sun.

Crayon · Jul 29, 2015

The video was alrite. But now I want to play their comically derivative rpg.

BennyBlanco · Jul 29, 2015

voice acting is too good

Crossing Eden · Jul 29, 2015

"Now hurry, the Inciting Incident Festival is today."
"I heard a rumor that monsters are coming back."

DiipuSurotu · Jul 29, 2015

Better than FFXIII.

Aren't the Zeboyd games basically this?

aly · Jul 29, 2015

This would make an excellent kickstarter. Someone please get on that.

IdreamofHIME · Jul 29, 2015

Every JRPG ever = FF4 and FF7?

OK....

OK....

The burning village and going to the forest and battling a dinosaur is straight out of Xenogears.

What part was from FF4?

Andrefpvs · Jul 29, 2015

I'd play this.

themagicalkitsune · Jul 29, 2015

I can see Chrono Trigger, FFT, Dragon Quest VIII, Earthbound and a bunch of Final Fantasies.

Edit: Also pretty sure some backgrounds are from Super Mario RPG

Earthbound is pretty close.

I keep yelling for kick starters for goofy shit like this, and I'm not even kidding. I'd play the hell out of this game.

FF4 and FF6 both have burning villages and FF6 had a famous dinosaur forest used for leveling.

Kudo · Jul 29, 2015

None of the JRPGs I've played in past year or two, but I can see where they're coming from. Pretty entertaining video.

Ludger Kresnik · Jul 29, 2015

Less every JRPG ever and more every Squaresoft JRPG ever, but this was still pretty amazing.

MisterJoynt · Jul 29, 2015

That was GOLD!

Haly · Jul 29, 2015

This was also the opening to Golden Sun.

Earthbound is too earnest to really work as a parody. Most of NIS America's games are full-on parodies and then you also have stuff like Okage: Shadow King, plus of course, tons of indie RPGs.

The video wasn't as funny as I had hoped (too specific to FF, especially FF7) but it had some funny bits. I liked the townsfolk dialogue, the crystal, and the CGI scene.

Zxrophantom · Jul 29, 2015

Pretty funny, I'm totally the guy that says Nah! I got mini games/ side quests to do when you reach the endpoint to save the world.

Someone has never played Chrono Trigger...

Village · Jul 29, 2015

That was more like a couple ff's we played than jrpgs

GVA1987 · Jul 29, 2015

I was getting Secret of Mana flashbacks with this video.

Haly · Jul 29, 2015

Pretty much every Tales of antagonist faction has high tech, no? Meanwhile you start off in the sticks with houses made out of wood.

and Mother 3

nubbe · Jul 29, 2015

I'm pretty sure the final attack always is powered by frienship

Mr. Nice_Guy · Jul 29, 2015

That was pretty great.

"I heard monsters are coming back" will stick with me for a bit.

Aaronrules380 · Jul 29, 2015

TerraGaia bit made me laugh. It really does like such a generic JRPG world name LOL

This feels like more of a Squaresoft/Final Fantasy parody lol

I mean, they were definitely the focus, but a lot of other JRPGs had some of the same tropes you could find here, especially when we're talking oldschool ones from SNES era

ubercheez · Jul 29, 2015

Ha, that was pretty good. Reminds me of this one from a few years ago (also by CollegeHumor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kedjhnguKhc

DiipuSurotu · Jul 29, 2015

ITT: "B-b-but my JRPGs aren't like this!"

Truant · Jul 29, 2015

As someone who thinks all JPRG's are the same and are the most generic japanese trash ever, I found this funny,
