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]

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

 

[georly]

Pretty accurate. Loved the dinosaur bit.

 

[Dmonzy]

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

 

[Hades Hotgun]

I enjoyed it. Especially the FFTactics sprites.

 

[Arthr2ShdsJcksn]

Hey, I heard that monsters are coming back.

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

 

[Ladekabel]

I heard a rumor that monsters are coming back!

Edit.: Goddamn

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

 

[Blobbers]

Did the makers of this video only play Square JRPGs?

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

 

[StrangeTaco]

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

 

[Hugstable]

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

 

[BlackJace]

JK I have two forms

 

[Savitar]

SIGH

Times are tough.

 

[TimeEffect]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

 

[BennyBlanco]

voice acting is too good

 

[Crossing Eden]

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

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Better than FFXIII.

Aren't the Zeboyd games basically this?

 

[aly]

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

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Every JRPG ever = FF4 and FF7?

OK....

Better than FFXIII.

[wmlk]

Every JRPG ever = FF4 and FF7?

OK....

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

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Every JRPG ever = FF4 and FF7?

OK....

What part was from FF4?

 

[Andrefpvs]

I'd play this.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

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

 

[bennywhatever]

Earthbound is pretty close.

 

[AtomskEater]

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.

 

[johnsmith]

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

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

 

[Kudo]

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]

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

 

[MisterJoynt]

That was GOLD!

 

[Haly]

This was also the opening to Golden Sun.

 

[Robert at Zeboyd Games]

Earthbound is pretty close.

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]

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.

 

[Mcdohl]

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

Someone has never played Chrono Trigger...

Spoiler

BLASPHEMY

 

[Village]

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

 

[GVA1987]

I was getting Secret of Mana flashbacks with this video.

 

[Haly]

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

 

[Satch]

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

and Mother 3

 

[nubbe]

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

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

That was pretty great.

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

 

[Aaronrules380]

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

 

[Timedog]

Did the makers of this video only play Square JRPGs?

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

yessssssssssssssssssss

 

[orochi91]

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

 

[Aaronrules380]

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]

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]

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

 

[Truant]

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