| Pros: |
- It’s that time of the year to review FTV. A site I first reviewed in 2007.
- I try to make these reviews a little different from my previous one of the same site. I don’t know if the high production values makes members think this is not an amateur site, but it is with a few exceptions.
- A steady update schedule of 4-5 updates per month. I believe they snuck some remasters in there too as bonus updates.
- I’ve been a member on this site for so long I think I have my own tag, that’s how well their tags work once you figure them out.
- I really don’t need to talk about the quality of the photographs or videos, do I? I will in the bottom line.
- It’s a strange pro but important one. The site does what it says it’s going to do. You get what you paid for.
- Being my 500th review it’s going to contradict this one, I would just be happy with a membership to this site and no others. |
| Cons: |
- It looks like to me they’ve decided to lay off using the public nudity tag even on the scenes that show public nudity in the preview picture. I’m sure there’s a reason behind it but I relied heavily on that tag.
- Those split videos are now one of my favorite parts but other people will see them as cons. |
| Bottom Line: |
This is review #500. If you had told me in 2007 that I would be writing my 500th review in 2021 and it would be of FTV Girls, I would have said, “What took me so long and FTV is still around?” As much as I talked about the 3 straight years of Zishy membership, it’s not quite as impressive or concerning as my 8 straight years of at least 9 months (per year) of FTV memberships. I first reviewed FTV in 2007, my first year on PU and the first year of PU.
I have explained this in previous reviews of FTV and will again. It’s something I see as a negative for some. The videos being in parts. It took me about 10 years to figure out the point of it. It is to make it where you can download only the parts you want. Because FTV does touch on different fetishes, there are some parts of the “full” video, some people don’t want or in my case, I sometimes only want the exhibitionism part of the video. Considering the FTV new scenes are in 4K, I believe it’s even more of a positive. One of the newer scenes is a total of 23GB for the video parts. I would not be happy about downloading 23GB to watch 6 minutes of exhibitionism at the first of the video. Even if I downloaded the 1080p, it would be around 10GB total and I wouldn’t be happy about storing a 10GB file or waiting on it to download just to watch 6 minutes of it. I figured this out when I couldn’t come up with a negative reason for FTV splitting the videos. Some sites (I won’t name them), split videos up so they can release one today, the other tomorrow, to make it look like they’re updating more and to boost their video count. FTV doesn’t do that. They release all the parts at the same time. It’s a feature built for improving the member’s experience with their content. Maybe I can see why it wouldn’t hurt to have a full scene download option but can tell you, I wouldn’t be using it.
I’m surprised they aren’t using their public nudity tag as much. You can look at the preview right now and see that at least half of the last 30 updates show public nudity but none of those have the public nudity tag. If that keeps bringing in more public nudity then I won’t mind or complain at all.
The models are the most important part to FTV. So many people do not realize this is an amateur site. I know there are a few exceptions but as an example, of the last 30 new models, 29 were shooting their 1st ever porn scene. I’ve said it before, every porn star started somewhere. It’s not FTV’s fault if the model goes on to film 468 gangbang scenes and that’s a major selling point of FTV for me. You get to see these models that you may never see again or that you may see fighting 16 dicks in a gangbang. I don’t believe a lot of these models go on to careers in porn. I see them more as curious, playful, often silly and flirty young women who just want to make some money and do something they may not ever get the chance to do again.
The quality is exactly what I expect from FTV. The newer videos can be downloaded in 4K, 1080p and one smaller one. Since I only download the parts of the video I want, I do download the 1080p. I usually only download 720p on other sites. The older scenes do have a drop off in resolution but outside of their earliest years, FTV has almost always had very high quality. Their pictures can be downloaded and the high resolution zip files are 5200 long end. One of my biggest compliments for FTV is the colors in their photos and videos. Their pictures and videos are life-look looking, natural lighting, instead of the lighting we see a lot of studios use that make the models look like they’re glowing in the dark.
Something has been fixed that I felt was a bigger con than the split videos. The filenaming system has been updated. For years, maybe even a decade, the scenes were all numbered 01, 02, 03 and so on. Which meant you had a bunch of 01 scenes like this 01, 01 (1), 01 (2) and no way to know who was in the video without opening it. Here is a filename of a video I just downloaded earlier “sinclair-(scene number) - 01”. That’s a major deal if you’re an organizational weirdo like me. I even looked back and downloaded a few old scenes, all scenes have the new filenaming system. That’s how you make a 99 site a 100. The site has proven time and time again to be the site I return to and my bank statement would tell you the same thing. I can’t think of anything I would change on FTV. Some of the models this year are easily in the top 10 FTV models of all-time and they were 1st timers. It’s the best site in porn, for my tastes and after 500 reviews, I have no reason to believe there’s one I’ve missed. They also use CCBill as their billing processor, not that I cancel it very often. I usually try to join it 3 months at a time, then take a month off, then back to a 3 month, month off, and back to a 3 month. If all other porn sites were free, I would still pay for FTV Girls. |
