FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF12, FF13, FF14 Custscenes

Be prepared to potentially get teary eyed for the end of each of these.

EDIT: Added Dirge, CC,10-2 & 11, wish I could update the topic name. XD

Idk about you guys but I need something to tie me over.
I don't even smoke.. Or drink.
But I feel like I'm having withdrawls..lol..

I did not make these but I thought it couldn't hurt, to point directly to the full playlist pages and condense them into some simple links.

Thank you to all the people who made these clips and more importantly, the ones who made the cgi in the first place.
I sincerely appreciate the time you took. :)

SIDE NOTE:
God what have we been missing?
It really makes me sad sometimes..
Look at all the magnificent ideas in these CS's and I bet half the dev team hasn't even seen them before.
They need to have a day or even a week at work, where all they do is watch every CS from every FF game. I think that would really give them a better idea of what this world is really capable of.
It feels like we live in the bible days sometimes..
We had freaking Alexander as a city...
We have towns that uproot themselves and fly around and attack each other..
We have ultimate weapons and ruby weapons and insanely high tech airships and machina..
FF is more than a game now.. It's a never ending story.

Now if you will excuse me.
I have some videos to watch. :D
PS: I would pay for a full HD rendered compilation, of all the FF games CGI.
"Hint hint", SE if you are listening, "hint hint hint hint"

I'm still crying over this. :(

It all began with a stone, so the legend says.
In ages past a sentinent jewel enormous and beautiful banished the darkness.
Its many colored lights filled the world with life and brought forth mighty gods.
Bathed in that light, the world entered an age of bliss.
Until after a time, the gods fell into a slumber
That world was called

Great intro, don't know how you don't like it :) Please add this one at least.

Ugh, you are so right. How could I leave that out?. I feel ashamed.. ; ;...
I was looking for 11 CS's and I just kept finding cruddy ones so I gave up.
It was so long ago I totally forgot about that one. Thank you sincerely.
It needed to be in there.

If anyone finds more good ones, please let me know and I will add them immediately.

Yea, that was like a life changing event for me when I was a kid..

:O You're telling me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y027L...AYlcNgMvomtfgA isn't a good Custscenes from FF11. But As for FF Custscenes one of the reasons why this series Is(was) great

If you find any good ones, please let me know and I will update this immediately.
It has been years since I played 11.
I appreciate the info and I have updated the 11 section.
Thank you. :)

I know there are more good ones out there.
I skipped half of my 14 cutscenes, so hell, I don't even know what they were.
I hope I can watch them sometime. I always skipped them, because people were always rushing everything in 14..
Even I was guilty of it and I wish I hadn't now.

Lol I was typing it up like right as you where adding that xD, but great to see you adding some in from 11, And yeah for 14 I skipped a lot of CSs cause I was always in a rush to do stuff kind of sad when I look bad at it.

Also for FF14 might want to add:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT2Ka...mtfgA&index=12

I know when I 1st seen this quest CS made me want more.

Wouldn't be fair if I didn't.. I really can't believe I even forgot some of these..
I was as end game as you can be in 11. Beat everything that you could beat.
Can't believe I forgot so much of it..
; ;

EDIT: I would prefer not add the other clip, due to too much in game footage.
GUI, chat log, etc.
But ty. ^^

I spent a lot of time in 11, mostly end game but toward the end of my playing I played for myself. SO I went back and enjoyed some old Custscenes, and places. When I recorded CoPs ending cause I loved that whole story line.

Always a treat to re-watch FF cutscenes. While I loved the ver. 1 story and enjoyed all the cutscenes, I've always wanted more from them, specifically from climactic parts. For anyone who's watched the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, I'm sure you all remember when we first walked into the underground goblin city in the Misty Mountains. I couldn't help but wish that's what our cutscenes will be like for the beastmen cities in ARR:
http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/...psbc739ce9.jpg

And this concept art:
http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0db8f443.jpg
has always made me wish we'll get something to the scope of this from LOTR The Return of the King.

I also wish we could fight or at least show us do the finishing blow after a boss. While I understand fighting would be difficult for several logistical reasons (like having separate animations for each battle class), all we do is take out or put away our weapons! How amazing would it be if our party escaped from the Kobold capital city like the goblin escape scene from the Hobbit or a full war while riding on chocobos like the XII intro. Instead, we only get "glimpses" of epicness then go to gameplay or cutaway once it starts getting good.

Did they ever explain that voice "Hear... Feel... Think..." ? Or were we just suppose to chalk it up to our "echo" powers?

While we know it's connected to the echo, I think the full explanation was supposed to come in future main story quests. Guess we'll learn the true meaning in the "rebooted" main story in ARR?

What is it, like 15 years? FFVII cut scenes still make me shed manly tears.

I have the 3 opening movies for Grid, Limsa and Ul'dah already in there.
The other two are too text heavy. Just looking for the high production value CGI CS's really. :P
Thank you though.
But at least they are here now for anyone who wants to see them.
Still looking to add the good ones if I am missing any.

No problem, figured it didn't hurt to offer all the cutscenes since the other FFs were also a collection of all of them. Here's a list of the "high-production" XIV cutscenes that use voices and not textboxes. These are just the ones from my memory so maybe there's more?

Never the Twain Shall Meet (Limsa) - Ocean battle with the Sahagin
Never the Twain Shall Meet (Limsa) - The clouds gather after the Y'shtola/Sthalmann fight
Beckon of the Elementals (Gridania) - Khrimm lighting a tree on fire
Beckon of the Elementals (Gridania) - The clouds gather above the cleansing ceremony
Calamity Cometh (Ul'dah) - Corguevais summons the minemites to attack
Calamity Cometh (Ul'dah) - The clouds gather above Ul'dah as Niellefresne dies
Futures Perfect - Gaius/CoK battle in Mor Dhona.

They won't do that because their bosses don't care. :(
Btw that websites got some NSFW ads and thumbnails.

watching these cut scenes reminds me of what made me fall in love with se and the ff series. the stories grabbed hold of you emotionally and you had to keep playing just to see what's next.

i feel this is part of what is holding this game back and has been holding mmo's back for quite a few years now.

wtf no FF 4 when Cecil turns into pld!!!! Sadface

Best cs from 13 btw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQb-t...D25E41A3F068C4

Excellent and thank you very much. :)
Those are exactly what I was hoping to see.
I also just tracked down the best quality I could find of Crisis core, Dirge of Cerberus and X-2.
I updated the OP.

Indeed cant forget about the older games many good CS could been made.

Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOcmdymYws4
Not in game but taken from it xD

Great FF collection there but I actually think you needed to add the real final cutscene for FFXI... there really were some excellent cutscenes for the WoTG expansion and the add-ons.

Also, for FFXII there was definitely a more extensive ending that may have been illustrative in that list. (Personally, I still think the Gabranth/Bosch ending was the best because his true honor was restored on an even higher level).

Great job compiling them nonetheless.

If anyone can help me locate them, I will add them immediately.
I have really been wanting to condense them all into one place and those other CS's in 11, would be a great addition.
I just don't know what to look for or where to find it at this point.
If there are any other HQ, CG, CS'S for the FF series I am missing, please let me know.
Or even better, post a link and I will slap it in there. :)

I don't need to watch FF7, 8 and 9 cutscenes on youtube, I'll just play them on my ps3 (infact I have been playing FF9 last few days, just completed the Lifa Tree.)

XD I been playing FF8. I normally play all FFs in order I beat FF7 last Dec. I play them when I'm bored and want to kill a lil time. It is always a treat though to rewatch the CSs. This is a great post. Can only hope FF14: ARR will deliver the same quality scenes we all learned to know.

FFXII Ending (scroll to 1.35 in the video to see Basch's highly fitting ending). Although Balthier was my favourite character, Basch was a close second because his unwavering sense of duty was everything to him. He had failed to protect his mother, his homeland, and his king... but in the end he was given a new purpose that restored his honor as a true protector.

I loved FFXII for several reasons and it remains one of my very favourite FF games... the excellent story, the excellent environs of Ivalice and the excellent gambit battle system (that was actually a very polished A.I infused version of FFXI's macro battle system).

Bump. Why loose all the pretty. :)
I saw someone asking about where cutscenes are in another thread, so thought I'd bump this.
