We're hosting a special event in the UK where you'll get to meet and hang out with a ton of Final Fantasy voice actors and content creators! More info here: https://lu.ma/ffpubquiz?utm_source=ytcomm1

Its tradition for every new player to be hit with Bad Breath at some point and question what they are even doing with their lives.

I always thought it was hilarious that a Dinosaur could cast Meteor 🌝

Sees title, immediately remembers the great malboro inside the omega ruins

Feels like a stretch to claim Midgar Zolom is a random encounter - It literally wasn’t random at all, and fully broadcasted that you would run into it

The Malboro  in FF VIII used to scare the crap outta me. Unprepared that thing would screw you right from the start leaving you to watch your party endure a slow and painful death. Plus that laugh was creepy as all hell.

New Players: "What's this little green guy? It's actually kinda cute..."

Veterans: "Oh crap! That's a Tonberry!"

FFX-2 via infinito floor 81. That basilisk that can petrify you THROUGH RIBBON was a double take

It wasn't the T-rex in the Garden training area that always got me, it was the one in the forest just outside the Garden that did.

The dragon from ff9, when you climb up the ladder after saving the mog stuck under a bell. If you were unlucky enough it would use thundara on its first turn and wipe your whole party.

Yan the sheep in FF9 is the cutest, cruelest, and unexpected encounter I have ever had in FF9.

Farming Brachiosaurs back in the day for Economizers is among my favorite FF memories!

The mindflair from tactics was a pain in my ass as a child

I've been caught by surprise by a Malboro in FFVII at Gaea, since then i always wear ribbon when possible... The T-Rexaurs got me the first time i've played FFVIII but ever since i always grind Triple Traid ( i love that mini game so much 😍😍😍) combined with Diablos abilities i make a joke of this monster everytime i replay FFVIII; Mental Attack Death 100% or the more amusing one Pain 100%. I love seeing kill itself by the poison while it can't attack you anymore because of blind. 🤩🤩🤩 Change it into a card before he dies and that's 10 AP without leveling up your characters. 😉

Trying to guess 5 of them before watching the Video

1-Warmech/Death Machine (FFI)
2-T-Rex (Thanks thumbnail because I'd have went for Ruby Dragon Island closest to hell for FFVIII)
3-Yan (FFIX)
4-Malborro... any really but let's say FFX because if they ambushed you, you're dead.
5-Hill Gigas (FFVI)

Edit: Darn, after 10 seconds of the Video, I'm reminded of the Brachiosaurus from VI, I don't think I'll do too well.
Edit 2 : I wouldn't call the Midgar Zolom and "Random" encounter
Edit 3 : Got only 2 (and one of them is the Thumbnail monster...)

Fun fact! Black Chocobos in the end game of FFTactics would considered significantly more dangerous than Reds. If you uses the Ninja Evade Team (It basically meant everything in the game only had a 3% chance to hit you because you duplicated some specialty swords and were dual-wielding them.) a Black Chocobo's Choco Ball ability still had a 66% chance to hit you. It's damage also scaled differently than a Red Chocobo. So at max level, you might survive the Choco Meteor. But Choco Ball would often hit for 999 and one-shot a party member. Most people didn't run into this, because they never got their party members to level 99. In FFTactics, at least the PSX version, story battles did not scale to your level (So you could over level things.) Random battles, however, did scale. Meaning you'd run into level 99 Black Chocobos. It was absolutely the mos terrifying creature on the battlefield.

The sauron just outside of rabanastre in ff12 is a solid wtf moment lol

Yan deserves an honourable mention, you see it and just think 'look at the cute wee thing, it'll be easy to kill' and then it starts spamming Meteor and you regret the decision.

In FF VIII, those who really unlucky (myself) can encounter T-Rexaur at very beginning of the game in the forest betweeen balamb garden and fire cavern, imagine fighting that in your very first battle of this game with only lvl 1 Quetzacotl and Shiva with no magic to junction.

3:19  blinding the T rexsaur is a good way to gain AP early if that’s something you want.
