Many years ago I wrote an article about the (then 14) primary Final Fantasy logos and what plot points they either allude to or outright spoil. Now we’re finally nearing the release of FFXV, which means hey, why not, I guess I’ll make a VIDEO about the logos now.
My knowledge is pretty off the top of my head, so while certain parts are probably dead on, I’m sure there are pieces of XI, XII and XIV that aren’t entirely spot-on, and maybe even II and III while we’re at it. BUT, I do love this series so very much and have enjoyed more of them than not.
I always loved looking at these things. We didn’t really get a sense of what was going on with the logos until FFVII in 1997, but from 97-01 we got so many ports & re-releases – each with new or updated logos – that the whole “logo thing” was pretty common knowledge by the time XII finally landed in 2006.
Thoughts? Faves? Least faves? Corrections? Lemme know!
Top notch stuff Brett. As a guy who has only played like half or so of the FF games, you gave me a lot of cool information I didn’t know before.
Great video Bret – well done!
In the FF7 logo there’s a round piece of materia along the meteor’s tail. If I had to guess, I’d say it Aeries’ Holy materia but it could also be the Black materia.
There’s also the (USA only?) FF7 box art of Cloud standing in front of the Midgar Shinra Building – but whatever – fun video, thanks!
Holy balls, this was a damn good video. I hope this casually explained thing becomes a regular series.
Great stuff! It’d be interesting to see other series explored via their logos or box art.
Good video, glad to see it’s tracking well on YouTube as well.
