https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/8e0c133c-323f-4492-b51c-d23bdc4c46d4 In the first video in our three-part series, we tell the story of how the 1.0 version of FINAL FANTASY 14 came to be. How FINAL FANTASY 11 inspired its design, the ways in which the game fell short and how Square-Enix and the development team reacted to its failure. Noclip operates entirely through the funding of its members.
