It’s hard not to get all wistful and teary-eyed when you watch these videos of Final Fantasy VI‘s various landmarks, faithfully recreated in Minecraft by builder Felix Trapper and set to glorious Nobuo Uematsu-composed music.
You thought Tidas from Final Fantasy X had an awful laugh? Have you heard the original Japanese version?
Famed role-playing game music composer Nobuo Uematsu. Scenario writer Kazushige Nojima (Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII). Art director Hideo Minaba (Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy IX). And character designer Nakaba Higurashi (Baiten Kaitos).
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a game that exists. But for players, it exists only in screenshots and trailers. And has so for many, many years.
Futsuno Fantasy might look like Final Fantasy. Its initials, FF, echo Final Fantasy‘s. There are even Slime-like characters called “Slimy” (“Metal Slimy”, too!) and Chocobo-like characters called “Choko”. There are even in-game sprite maps.
The video is a little dumb, but I really enjoy this a capella cover of Final Fantasy‘s iconic chocobo theme.
