I dunno. Maybe it's cuz I'm used to Souls and other FromSoft games, but nothing in any FF game ever struck me as all that creepy..
In my opinion, the scariest monsters in Final Fantasy were the unknowns in Final Fantasy 7. What the hell were those things?
Seriously, just imagine the fake president's transformation sequence from ff8, in modern graphics
Honestly, I think you could do full lists from individual games
Excellent video, as always. I hope you keep introverting, your main Final Fantasy so-called themes, into your luxurious and extravagent videos.
Personally, nothing skeeved me more than Helletic Hojo. Except Adel. Screw Adel.
i was hoping to see Hephaistos savage transformation from ffxiv, that whole scene is disturbing
The first time seeing the summon Anima in FFX, i think Seymour summoned it.
Do anyone of alpha predators that hunt in FF worlds? I would put Behemoth high on that food pyramid.
Diablos is not creepy like I’m sorry
Interesting…. I hadn't really considered it until the topic came up, but I've never found anything creepy in a Final Fantasy game. I suppose if I had to choose, I would say enemies from Final Fantasy X in general. Not their design so much, but when you consider that fiends are the angry souls of people's loved ones, it's half unsettling and half heartbreaking. It's extra messed up when you think about how some lonely widow or orphaned child probably tried to track down their loved one's fiend in a fit of desperation and sorrow, believing they could tame it or reason with it, and instead got taken out themselves.
Some transformations in the game of bosses just are some what creepy. I am looking at you Jenova!
But I also wonder, are you up on taking suggestions for videos even if they could be theories or not?
This is an unpopular opinion but i always loved Diablos since the first time, especially when i noticed it was Gravity based. Chadarnook on the other hand always scared me the first time with the lore of game and especially with the music playing in Owzer's House at this time…
FF7 was my first rpg all those years ago so on my third playthrough of the game I was genuinely surprised when I encountered the yin and yang monster in the mansion basement
It may not fully reach the creepy spectrum, but id almost say the Sin Spawns that you fight specifically in Operation Mi'ihem. At this point of the journey you're told about the importance of killing any nearby Sin Spawn because if left unchecked, Sin comes back for them. During your war to Mushroom Rock, you see the Crusaders gathering to do an operation, while holding cargo of Sin Spawns. It's not uncommon for monsters in FF to gather together and fuse into something, but this Sin Spawn, that we never get to see them be fully separated or fight them separated.
Don't know if this is intentional or not on the game developers but the flying malboros from FFIX. It always freaked me out when one tentacle rises in the air and thrn the whole body follows….pretty creepy.
– Mindflayers need love too.
I hope Gerogero from FF8 is here…..seriously that thing was an abomination
Hope you are taking plenty of remedies and get well soon.
I think the Tonberries in XVI were the closest I've ever gotten to getting genuinely creeped out by anything in Final Fantasy.
The Marlboros in VIII startled me the first couple of times due to them announcing their presence with "Hah!" as it changed to the battle screen.
And, while benign, I found the automated Tonberry in Rebirth to be slightly creepy.
Finally, FFX and FFXV get some love.
Hey how come in not mentioned as a supporter?
Diablos scared no one
Ardyn Izunia being Jesus stand in and Noxis a descendant of Judas was so cool.
If you want to know about the Tonberry lore in FF14, do the Scholar job quests.
Diabos is one of my favorite summons of all time, along with Anima
Both not very pleasant visually
I only have an emotional support chocobo. Sadly no emotional support moogle.
Indeed, those creatures were creepy… However, there have really only been two Final Fantasy enemies that appeared in my nightmares when I was around middle-school to teenage: The Behemoth from Final Fantasy II (SNES, which is actually Final Fantasy 4), and the Atma Weapon from Final Fantasy III (SNES, which is actually the Ultima Weapon from Final Fantasy 6).
I forgot exactly who it was. But that zombie like boss in ff8 on the train kinda gave me the creeps when i first played a few years back. I really have to replay it.
Hope we get a zombie aerith in next ff7 remake part 3
The vermin enemies from FFX2 scared the living daylights when I first saw their silhouettes onscreen. The way they move and how they look like spiders scares me.
Spoiler for FF7 Rebirth (not sure what amount of time is appropriate before these warnings don't really need to be given, but I'll just be safe for now).
While certainly not an enemy in the traditional sense, I think the creepiest thing in Rebirth was Cloud when he was being possessed by Jenova, turning him into an enemy, in a sense. Having him chase after Aerith while giggling and saying her name in that sing-song voice…holy hell, that was so off-brand from Cloud that it actually was scary. Worst yet, if you try to fight back in that segment, which I kept doing, Cloud grotesquely twists his body in a zombie-like way, but still stumbles forward. His head twists back and it's…just awful. You literally cannot fight the progression in that moment and the more you fight it, the more disturbing it becomes.
If you stop fighting and move forward, his arms dangle and swing, like the puppet Sephiroth keeps calling him and his head lolls on his shoulders. He runs in a very unnatural way, like a zombie with a speed boost, pulled along like a puppet on strings. The whole moment as he chases Aerith for the black materia is haunting and very well done, cementing it as actually one of my favorite moments in the game.
Anything akashic in Final Fantasy XVI. Especially poor Theodore.
My suggestion’s are both from type-0 the freak enemies and the dracobaltians
C'eith were in type 0?
Appreciate the BGM!
