It was clear when they release FFVIII Remaster... Im glad they add new upgraded graphic to characters, but the SE dont make it, it maked french studios by reverse enginering. And they piss everyone with new Squall look. He is not the same Squall as he was in old version of game. The main chcarcters cannot be more diferent from the pre CGI animated version of him. :D

After seing 21 hour long video movie FFVII Rebirth... I can say what developers plan to future. Story will be continue similar as original, but with multiverse. Sephirot now will not destroing only planet to gain all life, but he will destroy all planets in all multiverses as well... So they use holy materia from another Aeris, and in final battle, when all multiverse merge into one, Cloud defeat Sephirot, Zack return from another multiverse and Aerith come from another multiverse, and all be have a happy ending. Amen. Ultimecia will be finaly defeated and they can make definitely a remake of FFVIII. :D

2:43:45 Best part, this is really as it was. :D

O shit, i was cry again......

They should be aplied the PC Yuffie warp glich in the third game instalment as well. It would be funny when Cloud realise that Youffie in some circumstance can teleport to anywhere in world and time! :D That should be helping to defeat Sephirot as well. :D

Comprehensive, and thoughtfully edited. Herculean effort. I expected Remake to have some pretentious swerve considering the involvement of Nomura and Nojima--two men notorious for convoluted meta-themes polluting their projects. The game was definitely a work of love by the team; so much personality oozes out from the visuals and mechanics. A shame that their work was doomed to be tainted by Nomura & Nojima. I did a get huge kick out of the final battle, though. I paused, looked up the most appropriate Kingdom Hearts OST and immersed myself in Nomura's nonsense.

Excellent video. Looking forward to the next long one!

Never thought that a 3 hour video about this game could interest me so much, but you sir have said everything I needed to hear. As a watcher of my husband playing FF7R and someone who has never played the original game I can relate to the things you brought up. This game confused the heck out of me. Nothing was explained properly, the powerscaling at the end of the game was way too high and I didn't feel invested in any character but Tifa, which only comes because I liked her already before FF7R released. It is a fun game combat wise but not a well told story sadly. The notion of "eh, just let them look it up on google" rages me the most. As a writer myself I just hate that. It's your job as a writer to explain the concept and stuff surrounding your world and characters to me not google.

I'm still interested enough to keep playing the games, but I have to admit that I felt like there was a problem very early on. I had reservations upon hearing the game was actually being made, but the demo of the game with the first reactor bombing made me feel like YES, they are actually going to do this the way I wanted. Then, in the real game, they blow their load by revealing sephiroth basically at the beginning of the game after the initial demo portion and had the dementors show up. I was like, "Oh no." I didn't like how they handled the death of President Shinra, wasn't really a fan of all the padding, and they seemed to have this desire to remove the gore and blood that was present in the original. Changing the blood in the Shinra building to purple goop was an unnecessary change. And of course, there is the ending. However, the gameplay, music, and representation of the characters was pretty great. I hope that it all turns out good in the end, but I have my doubts. I am currently just now making my way through rebirth, and there is a certain level of excitement I have for what happens since I have gone out of my way to avoid spoiling the game for myself all this time.

Isn’t destiny a girls name ?

This might be the definitive video addressing the issues with the remake project, from the insufferable vocal minority of its fanbase, to all the questionable dev decisions. Well articulated, meticulously edited and engaging all the way through.

Where is the Rebirth analysis video? Oh, read the pinned. Too bad, you'd be getting many views and clicks and fame and glory and stuff. Oh well, fate wasn't kind to FF sceptics. And don't forget: there is a no-whispers mod on nexus.

I enjoyed this vid quite a bit, I also thought you were dressed as Nero from FF7 😂

Only thing can fix dis game is call TVA or Loki 😂😂😂😂😂

I had a wild hair up my ass to revisit the Lorerunner’s post game discussion and saw someone in the comments mention this 3 hour video. So here I am, thank you in advance for helping me get through the last three hours of my shift at work 😊

The one game that needed a remake and they went in this dumb "fate" direction. Why they're trying to replace the original games mystery with some b-tier multiverse nonsense is beyond me. Aeriths death was one of the hardest hitting moments in gaming history and now they're toying with idea she lives. And you know its just bait for us to buy the next game

3:10:32 Not to mention how FFIV The After Years invalidates the events of Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 by saying that the Crystals are probes sent by The Creator to gather the evolutive data of those worlds and, if The Creator isn't happy with the data, destroy those worlds.

I’d rather pay 240 dollars for three new games than an extended expensive copycat of the original. This move was risky but it all worked out. If you want to play the original, just play the original. Don’t expect to pay over 200$ for the same game.

Aw, not gonna cry about how CONVOLUTED AND CONFUSING the ending is? unless you have more than 3 brain cells its pretty fuckin simple. Just admit you're a whiney baby that doesnt like change and believes the poorly translated and already convoluted story was in the original.

It didnt break shit, Clown. Tho I do want to make a video titled "When Nobodies using Anime Avatars Pretend to Know Better"

I feel like multiverse is a marketing technique. You keep the well known brand and characters and get to sell product to a larger audience than if you start with a new game with new characters.

Incredible effort! Hated the remake, loved OG FF7, great video!

NEVER play Rebirth then... It taints the most IMPORTANT scene of OG FF7 and left me in total disbelieve It made me almost *RAGE* Ps. Great Video with strong points, maybe a bit too long though for a Remake Series that is not Worth our Time

just commenting for the algorithm. not finished watching/listening but i think you've made a good video here... if somewhat long winded and laboured in parts.

Bro why the F you look like that 😂

Creatives are more and more making stories that "EVERYBODY" can understand is making more and more stories, turn to garbage. The Intelligent us, who understand body language, ways a character behaves around other characters. Being able to break down the smallest amount of dialogue, as well as what remained unsaid all weave into what can be an amazing story. The Story, world and lore of Dark Souls was mainly told through efforts of many fan theorizers and critical thinkers, who could break down all kinds of different interactions, and see it weaved by the collective into an amazing, and rewarding narrative. Now every character just blabs away explaining anything and everything so the less intellectually sound of the fanbase can make their own content where they seal clap at the most mundane of story elements. "Did ya see when da Emperor said I am all Sith, and Rey replied back I am all Jedi! I literally cried. Such smart writing. Can't wait to buy the Super Ultimate Ultra BluRayShadowXD version of Rise of Skywalker for $500. It comes with a keychain, makes the whole purchase worth it now excuse me as I go and drink my own urine" Head butting the wall for an hour I have found works in "getting me on their level" so I can not enjoy, but I guess with a concussion I to can Seal Clap for mediocrity. That Will Do Pig.... That Will Do.....

where to download this game?

I hate what they did to Sephiroth, he's basically just become FF Majima, except way less likeable.

I can't even begin to fathom the amount of knowledge, money, expertise and hard work that was put into the visuals, music and even character dialog, of these games. So much respect and reverence for the source material. Imagine the people who put so much sweat and tears into it, that they fell ill because of it. And then, here you come and put your little "master mind" story spin to it. Oh boy. They should know better. But it's obvious to me that they do know exactly what they're doing. Otherwise they wouldn't sanitize the games of emotion the way they've done. We can't have anyone feel something, for any reason, now can we?

This needs to be modded into the game now that rebirth has been out for awhile

People defending this game need to understand first you NEED TO PLAY THE ORIGINAL TO FEEL WHAT WE ALL OG FF FANS FEELS.... Second play some remake game and compare it to original like persona 3 , re2/4 , demon souls...all of this game stay loyal to their original , the plot , the entire story stay the same...but with ff7 remake the change the whole plot .....and don't get me started with that whisper thing 🤦

It could have been just like this with improved graphics. That was the dream... I remember I bought the PS4 just to play the remake. Once I started seeing the ghosts I was like hum what's this? Once I saw the final battle with Sephiroth and those 3 time whatever I was like they ruined it.😢 Why? The original had so much going on already even of they put some sidequests that would be enough. The hand massage part, the dancing act part so out of place from the original. From rebirth I only saw pieces. I saw the part where they're in corel prison (just cringy) and I was astonished and I saw Aerith's felt like crying but this time instead of sadness I felt like crying of anger for how much they screwed my favorite game and destroyed my dream that I wanted for so many years. Hopefully they don't remake anything else.

I didn't finish FF7 Remake because I dislike the battle system. Still it is a good thing because of the changes made to the story.

I wished so badly that they had simply embellished on the towns we visited. And i was even ok with the side quests and new characters and deeper looks into already known characters. But the whispers appearing in remake just kinda set me off. It was then that seperated this from the OG (which i see now can never be topped) and look at it as its own story. I feel its all a bit convoluted. Throwing all this space time crap in it. Bringing Zack back, while he was a belived character IN HIS OWN GAME, was just sloppy and unimaginitve, i feel, to the story. It was kinda cool combat wise but also just why??? It was such a beautiful story to begin with. Aerith should have been definitely gone from the moment we reached her. It took so much away from the impact of that specific moment. When i first played that game almost 30 years ago, that scene hurt. There was no need to bring in all kinds of other nonsense to try and appeal to a wider base. This game is a masterpiece in itself. But sadly, Square enix fell victim to the multiverse plague that has manufactured most of our media here lately. I will not contest its beauty, the remake, because....well come on. I love the soundtrack as well. I just wish they had given us what we really wanted and deserved. Im also going to have an unpopular opinion about how the temple of the ancients section ended. Anyone who played the original knows what sephiroth really made cloud do after the temple collapsed into the black materia. Im not saying that it should have gone that far but i also think they could have made Cloud a bit more threatening towards Aerith while trying to get the black materia back from her. They had no problem dialing it up a bit with Tifa at Gongaga. It just didnt feel all that suspenseful as it seemed they wanted. Idk maybe a weird critique. But i will agree that they could have stayed a bit more true to the original and had this be a genuine remake. But i will play part 3 because as i said i do enjoy it as its own seperate game for the most part. Plus ive never been able to not finish a story, be it from a book or game so im compelled to lol

Square Enix has been trying to use the theme of "defying fate" for pver a decade now. Its still boring af.

Much better than what they actually did in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

There are three groups. Those who dislike the Remake trilogy and like the orginal. Those who just like Remake and have not/will not play the original and those who like both. One group is eating good.

If they made the story more about life and death rather than about time, the remake would had been better. Even better if they kept the nit and gritty the original had in it with its steam punk vibes. FF7 is basically Goth Final Fantasy, while FF8 is Emo Final Fantasy. FF9 and FF10 are pretty much the same, happiness is sadness, light in darkness. I think a lot of what they had changed could had been kept if it had adapted to what FF7 originally was, a Goth Final Fantasy, a Final Fantasy about Life and Death. FF7 is much more like FF6 even though FF6 has more to do with misery than it does with a fundamental question of what even is life. FF6 is more about why someone lives while FF7 is about why am I alive?

They shouldn't have whispers in FF7. Instead maybe go further into Spirits Within with the concept of Planets having a lifeforce and can literally suck out someone's soul at least then you are still in the FF7 setting. Also keeping it dark and aboding would had helped too.

I understand time travel. I revamped/reset this universe enough times while retaining memories of doing it prior that I am a real time traveler, in a manner of speaking.

The problem with the remake is that it doesn't understand what FF7 was about. The theme of it. FF7 is about how life is fleeting and no matter how much you enjoy something, it will be gone before you know it. That is what Aerith's death represents and why it was crucially part of the story. To make it better with this remake is to have that done more than once. Jessie's death in part 1, Aerith's death in part 2, and maybe Red XIII in part 3 or something like that since Red XIII becomes a kid or reveals he always was a kid and so his tragic end would solidify what the motif of the story that no matter what, you will always be haunted by sudden end of life. Then again, maybe just the original ending where the planet decides whether we live or die would had been good enough as a final end to this story.
