Ocarina of Time - Is It Still A Timeless Classic? Nostalgia vs Reality
I did earlier this year on ps5 , the ff7 port is awesome , you have special features you can turn on that can help
@@Lordgrim1 are you able to speed up the combat? I remember they did that for the other PS ports.
@@ReplayJunky battle speed i believe so , you can also turn on full limit breaker as well which can help you get your other limit breaks fast using them over and over.
@ do you go for Aerith’s final limit break that way?
@@ReplayJunky there's a few you can, I challenged myself getting Omnislash on Disc 1 for Cloud it was so fun and frustrating as well. The battle arena vendor is so close to the exit. If you exit out of the battle arena you will lose all of your battle points lol. Happened to me when I thought I could save.
@@ReplayJunky thats how I did my Omnislash for Cloud on Disc 1 challenge it was fun and challenging.
Wtf are you babbling about, nothing about 7s gameplay feels dated. It flows quickly, actions are snappy, and everything works exactly as it should.
@@Leon14344_ I talk about the pros and cons in the full video, how most modern RPGs shy away from turn based gameplay and adopted the real time action RPG style.
Video was overall very good, but it doesn't stand out amongst the sea of other similar documentary content. What can you add that's unique to you or will personalize the videos going forward? Great stuff!
@@chillyprotocol I tried adding more opinions and examples of my playthrough in this verses the other ones in the series. What would you suggest for uniqueness/personalization?
@@ReplayJunky Double down on that even more. Consider talking about your experiences with your face to the camera. Show me about you specifically.
Well, Resident Evil was 2 discs on the PS1, yet they fit it on one cartridge by lowering graphic quality and optimizing assets.
@@Aaron-mj9ie yea they tried that with FF7 and it failed all the play test. Honestly I don’t remember a Resident Evil 2 cartridge
You didn’t get that Zack was talking to him?? WTF lol that had to suck. I bet hojo made no sense to you huh? Did you think tiffs was his sister? When Aris died was that a dream sequence? When you saw red13 did you freak out be a dogs can’t talk?
@@saltskull haha when the game first came out and it was my first play through, I didn’t know who was talking to Cloud. I was like 10 I think
Due to nostalgia, FF7 is my favourite. However through a critical lens I’d say FF9 is the best in the series. Playing 7 for he first time as a kid when it came out was just a life-changing experience. I never knew “games” could be so enthralling until I played 7. It was my first Final Fantasy so I guess I’m biased, but I did play Chrono Trigger as a kid as well before I played FF7.
@@RaphaelRemington6969 I’m pretty much in the same boat as you, I played Zelda, Mario and Sonic games and never played a RPG until FF7. It was such a game changer!
It is amazing, still holds up for me. I replayed it about 5 times ever since I played it for the first time in 2005. Cant say the same about Remake/Rebirth unfortunately.
So my issue with Remake was I was expecting, well a remake. I found out later that Squaresoft wanted to originally call it Final Fantasy 7: A Retelling, but knew that it would cause backlash in the community. Once I got over that this wasn't the same game, I enjoyed it more. Rebirth > Remake
But wait, there's more because Safer Sephiroth gets more stats and HP depending on who's maxed level, who has maxed stats, who has max HP and MP, and if Knights was used on his Bizzaro form as well as how long it took and what order you killed the cores before getting to his main body. Overall, no matter what you do, unless you are a speedrunner and do not actually need Knights, you can probably just use the overflow glitch to oneshot him with Barret or Vincent as they can consistently do it with their ultimate weapons
@@craigsands2567 that’s super interesting and I did not know Sephiroth’s stats varied! “But wait, there’s more!” 😂
@ReplayJunky deadass I beat the game at level 53 which is probably the lowest level you can be and to make matters worse, I did not optimize shit. My whole plan was have Vincent turn into Chaos
@ I liked Vincent a lot but his limit was underwhelming…my final comp was Cloud, Cid and Red
@ReplayJunky I had barely gotten to level 3 with Cloud and Cid was still at level 1 cause I never used his limits
@ oh Cid’s limits were so good! His last one was summoning the Highwing!!!
Worst ff ever. 9 and x are way better
@@skuba714 worst?!?!?! Really? Why do you say that?
I bought this on every console. PS1, Steam, iPhone and now just bought the Trapezoid PC game from 1998 and installing it on my Win 98 gaming PC
@@branscombe_ I bought it for PS1, PC, Steam and PS3 PlayStation Store haha
@ yeah the steam version with the Hoku mod-pack was 60fps and upscale pre-rendered backgrounds but it sorta looked too clean and took away from the nostalgia aesthetic
@ I used the 7th Heaven mods and yea I agree
Poor cloud love the tifa though
@@SwineofSlaughter yea that’s one of my favorite parts of the game tbh
FF7 lucked out on being the most popular, to the point where Square often treats FF7 as its own franchise separate from Final Fantasy as a whole, I feel it’s overhyped as a game just because it’s legacy, story and Aerith’s death. My favorites are FF5, FF6 and shockingly enough FF8 which is a weird black sheep to some.
@@brandonwilliams6119 I think FF8 suffered from following FF7. 8 also had a weird story line half way through haha
@ Not only the story but many people had problems understanding the Junction system which can be fun to break if you play the best card game Triple Triad.
@ I was just about to say that card game was AWESOME! 😂
L take bud. Graphics? Is Minecraft a bad game? Summon animations? Sounds like an attention deficit. How does the gameplay feel dated? No analog movement or turn based? Walk around and input menu commands is all of persona 5, is that game dated?
@@eclektric well I know in speaking with others, that one of their main reasons for not playing the game is the graphics. For me, I grew up with the game and it doesn’t bother me as much. Turn base for me is always the “true” rpg experience but it could be slow paced for others. I still love the game but there are some flaws with it overtime that make it difficult for some to start or return to.
@ReplayJunky art doesn't meet you where you're at, you meet it. People being turned off to country music doesn't mean country music doesn't hold up. People not liking animation doesn't mean animation is bad art. Not liking reading doesn't make books boring. Those people are entitled to an opinion but if they don't partake in it why are they key factor in deciding it's merit. If I didn't watch your video would what I had to say about it really matter?
@ I always like discussing video games with people, sharing opinions and experiences. The fact that you’re sharing your opinions is awesome, even if they differ from mine. You brought up a very good point. Pretty much saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Unfortunately some people don’t give games chances due to a multitude of reasons. Hopefully these videos can sway people into playing these classics.
@@ReplayJunky beauty is in the eye of the beholder but if someone doesn't open their eyes to view the subject and then gives you an opinion on said subject it can't be considered valid You aren't asking the question does this game attract new players, you're asking if it is as good as people say it is I disagree with you but also find your methodology in answering the question flawed You're two reasons for saying no are it doesn't look as good as games today and "gameplay feels dated". How does it feel dated when its mechanics are still actively employed today regularly. The world map? Random battles? No analog? Gameplay is very specific definable things comprising systems that are engaged with, so you should say what systems you engaged with that felt dated. Do legacy of kain soul reaver, that shits dated and sucks to play it sucked to play back then until they started talking. Does it hold up?
@ thanks for the feedback, this will help me in my next video. I’ll make sure to give more details.
Great game. Replayed it 100% a couple years back. Love the characters and the story however, the OST is unreal. Peak Uematsu just didnt hold back at all. FF8 is fun as well though much different than the other mainline games.
@@groanhammer282 only thing I liked about FF8 was the card game 😂
I played this game for the first time about 4 and a half years ago (around the time Remake came out) and it blew me away by just how impressive it is for 1997. I thought it was stellar all the way through and I never wanted it to end. …I finished 100%’ing FF7 a couple weeks ago and this was when it started to show its age a bit more. I didn’t wanna use fast forward or save states or anything to do this, so I was at the mercy of how it was in its original state back in 1997, and my god can it be a bit of a slog at times. 98% of my playthrough was still a breeze and I’d even say 99.99% of my playthrough I actively enjoyed, but attempting to 100% this (which included grinding out 99,999,999 Gil, obtaining at least one of every item in the game (and there are NUMEROUS missable items), and even mastering every single materia type in the entire game…) was a bit much. I 100% pretty much every game I play, I 100%’d and got Platinum on both Remake and Rebirth and the last .1% of the og FF7 was a nightmare. Constantly going back and forth in and out of the Northern Cave to grind out AP and Gil, then to run out to heal as well as restock on elixirs (which required running in the tiniest spot on the world map next to the Gold Saucer for a rare encounter which I then had to Morph into an elixir) which I’d then feed to the Magic Pots in the Northern Cave for their ridiculously high AP payout… I could have beaten the game at around 85 hours but it tacked on an extra 20 hours to do the rest of it. I am well aware 100%’ing an RPG should be a lengthy process (I loved doing it for Rebirth and that took me 300 hours) but the slow pace of the battles and lack of QOL features in the original made this process a bit of a nightmare. Still an 11/10 game, would replay it in a heartbeat lmao
@@HS-mn6jc that’s what every fan feels, yes we recognize the flaws but the story is so amazing that we trudge through it. But for some new players to the series/game I can understand the gripes people have. That’s awesome that you 100% the game! I did back in the day before achievements, except I could never beat Ruby or Emerald weapon…
W-summon quadra magic knight of the round then mime twice 🫡
@@greencastle337 it’s the only way!!! 😂
It's FF7's graphics that make the 3d remakes of 3 and 4 feel like they fit in.
@@Coreisus true 😂
"The gameplay is flawed due to lengthy animations", but what? KOTR is optional, the combo to use it four times is optional, and fighting the Emerald Weapon is also optional. You're making it seem like every battle requires a six-minute cutscene, which simply isn't the case. Materia, Limit Breaks, ATB, and exploration are all excellent in FF7. While the graphics are dated, it's important to remember that this was a transitional game from 2D to 3D, so it's completely understandable for it to be a bit rough around the edges, a better fair comparison will be against 3D games from the same year.
@@andresnoguez4497 well I agree and I said it was end game and optional. It was a way to stress how long summon animations can be. That’s why I’m happy the game got a remake to showcase the story with peak graphics.
@@ReplayJunky lol the remake isn't a remake at all, it's a sequel (which is fine btw). If you played either game you should know this.
Yea, I played Remake and I'm still working through Rebirth (80 hours +) It still has a lot of similar things so I classify it as a "remake". Are you happy with it being a sequel vs a remake?
@@ReplayJunky I believe FF7 was a complete experience as it was released and the additional material was quite poor. The "Remake" games are fine, they do their own thing and tell their own story thats a sequel to the original, as a concept it's fine. The quality of either game is a different talk tho
@@OniramKenobi so as a fan of the original, coming to Remake and Rebirth is a fun trip down memory lane. Seeing certain scenes and places (Gold Saucer was AMAZING) was very cool and nostalgic. Things that the team changed, really just felt off. (Will avoid spoilers) But the new games are just that for me, a chance to see it from a different view. They are not greater than the OG. I'm curious how people that have never played FF7 feel about Remake/Rebirth.
Aside from the graphics, absolutely holds up today
@@gzsprout yea the graphics are definitely an issue for newer players to the series. Sprites hold up well but those damn polygons…lol
There's a charm to it, though. New players also shouldn't go into a game released in 1997 with 2024's expectations. Everything needs to be played through the lens if its own time. It's called growing up for many.
@chemicalbeef3128 agreed. I love them, still. I know they turn a lot of people off, tho.
@ yes I agree, I just don’t like how people avoid it due to its age…
This was my first JRPG as well. I think I was 17 when this came out. I remember the marketing behind this game was intense, it was everywhere. At the time this looked better than any game that had ever been made before. The way the game starts by thrusting you so hard right into the middle of the Avalanche vs. Shinra war was awesome! No dicking around town first to get to know everyone. Then spending the rest of the game chasing after Lord Edgelord and being one step behind was the constant carrot on the stick. For over 100 hours my main motive was "I'm gonna find this motherfucker and wreck his stupid, smug, Aeris killing, weeb sword wielding, Jenova ass sniffing face! ". All of the characters were written well enough to be loveable and to understand their motivations even with some of the muddy narrative. To me, the materia system was incredible (except for the leveling grind). All of the music was peak, even if some of the tracks were incredibly repetitive. This game has not aged well and is hard for me to go back and get in a full playthrough. I play it in chunks. This is not the best game ever made but it is my favorite game ever made. I'm with you as well King, FF8 was a turd sandwich, like WTF that's what we get after 7? To this day I'm still trying to wash away the memory of the 10-15 hours I put into that game. Sorry for the long comment, there is just a ton to say about this game!
Yea I remember after the Aerith scene, I was so pissed and I wanted to kill Sephiroth right then and there!!! lol I think the problem with FF8 as well is that it had to follow FF6 and FF7. I honestly think that's probably why FF9 gets high praise, it's compared to FF8.
I love FF7, but it’s not the best in the series. I think ProJared said it best, “FF7 is the most important one, FF6 is my favorite one, and FF9 is the best one.” Personally, FF4 will always be the game when I think of Final Fantasy. Took all the best things of the first 3, added compelling characters, and an in depth story. Pretty game changing for 1991. FFX has an amazing battle system, but the story is trash. Not a fan of the characters either. FF5 has an amazing job system, but the story is too silly. FF8 has an incredible world, but it tried to be too ambitious so the story gets kinda convoluted. There is also the GF/draw system that could have been better implemented. FF12 was a fun expansive world, but some of the characters fell flat. The story also feels rushed, but that’s because the development traded hands a bunch. FF13 is just terrible. Not a FF game at all. FF15 could have been great, and even though it was “in the oven” for years it still came out half baked. They tried to tell the story through all this different media rather than just have it in the game. Square always getting too ambitious. FF16 is still up for debate, but I’ll probably never play it. I don’t want/need a PS5.
@@hugbuzzard wow very in depth. I know FF6, FF7 and FF9 are always up at the tops fighting for the number 1 spot. I do believe the reasons for it are always valid. Like who was the best villain? Sephiroth or Kefka? (I feel like that statement is going to open a can of worms…lol)
FF9 is whimsical with funny dialogue, but it's so damn slow and fraweren't. Extremely boring game. FF10's story being trash is also probably the weakest take I've read so far. Easily one of the most thought-provoking and relatable stories (to humanity). A character like Wakka gets so much flack but he portrays the eye-opening transition many humans have probably felt over time realizing things they thought to be true since childhood werent.
ang ganda nila
si!
Its not as good as ffix, but its still one of the three best games ever made
But is FF9 good because it followed FF8??? lol
FF1 = Mobile Suit Gundam FF4 = Gundam Wing FF7 = Gundam Unicorn (comparison is based on introduction to the west and popularity internationally)
hahaha I love the references!
thanks! im actually a big fan of Cloud cuz i rewatched FF7AC a million times as a kid but never played the game! In looking at other comments i'll probably look for a "definitive"/QoL mod for emulating it, which is what im currently doing for old pokemon games
@@driptcg yea I recommend it! I believe the mod is 7th Heaven. You can look into it and if you need help hit me up and I’ll gladly steer you in the right direction
This game is so iconic and important. The story is still among the best in the genre imo
@@Yeaster I am so enthralled with the story, I don’t think any can top it.
FF 3-5 & 10 wants a word. FF 7 + 3D = attractive to normies.
hahaha I love that line! "FF 3-5 & 10 wants a word"
Best way to play it nowadays is through PC with mods and a slight speedhack for making the battles a little faster. That's the way to go, this game still holds up till today, much better than those crappy Nomura remakes.
Yea, I agree. Those mods make the graphics much easier to tolerate. For someone new to the series it's probably a good idea to add them.
I hate when people complain about the summoning animations.. Glad you clarified about KoTR being an end game summon, plus Emerald Weapon is one of the few enemies that could survive the combo you suggested
@@trufreedom yea my real issue with the summon animations comes from many attempts at Emerald Weapon and failing. Watching my combo go off, 10 minutes later and still dying. My attempts were when I was younger and I know there are better strats but damn was that infuriating haha
About KoTR even WITH 9999 HP 999 MP against the CARRY ARMOR boss I'll never fight it WITHOUT summoning all 13 Knights to off it instantly even WITH The PS4 versions GOD mode cheat on where at 9999 HP you'll never DIE since it can only arm grab 2 party members not all 3 of them.
@@veghesther3204 ah that's cool!
Yeah because why would you use Knights on a damn Cactuar?
@@ReplayJunkyI feel u tho.
Just hit me. Orochimaru pulled a Sephiroth with the curse-marks.
@@Artoniz88 it’s a good move! Lol
just found out about your channel. as someone who grew up gaming in the 90s, i love this nostalgia clarifying series. thanks for creating
@@justincase43 thank you for your comment and glad you found the channel! I love the 90s for games, so many great games. What are your top favorites from that time?
@ snes era… final fantasy ii and iii (iv/vi), secret of mana with a multiplayer action rpg was so novel to me. seems like you were big on rpgs based on your vids
@ yea I was! FF7, FF6, A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger
Yeah this game is still amazing. I played it when it first came out when i was about 9 (36 now) and I've played it so many times. However, i think my favourite is FFX. Its a tough call this 7s music is too good
@@dannyboi87 the music is amazing! I got the soundtrack on a collector’s edition vinyl set a few years back. Was totally worth getting a record player to play them haha
I'm just going to throw this out there. Of the non mmo mainline FF games the ones that used turn based combat are the ones people are more likely to agree are good or great while the ones that use "real time combat" get at best mixed opinions. So I hard disagree with the 3 out of 5 for combat I'd would put it at 4 or 5. I'd even argue that long summons aren't a huge problem if you're not trying to get the game done more quickly as content because they level slow cost a lot of mana and in a normal play through are rely only used in boss encounters.
@@blarghts I can see your point on that. I for one love turn based but always got frustrated waiting on animations like summons. For my first playthroughs I relied a lot on summons. (I was young) As I got older, I agree with your statement that I used them less and less. Partially because I didn’t want to watch them. So if you give combat 4 out of 5 that should but FF7 up to 4 out of 5 total. I can live with that haha
I didn't play Final Fantasy VII until 2008. All I ever heard was the best RPG ever. I decided to give this game a try and it's great, but it's not the best RPG ever. Some people say I feel that way because I was 18 when I played it, or I didn't play when it was new back in 1997 Honestly I feel it falls short of Final Fantasy 6 in many ways. Which I played a year before this.
@@Vyse195 I think the argument of “you didn’t play it back in 1997” is compensating for the graphics. Back then it was new and fresh and “revolutionary” but later on it didn’t age well. But if you in fact didn’t judge it by graphics and purely on story and combat, then that’s great. And yea, I hear from a lot of people that FF6 is greater than FF7. And in my opinion, that’s the only FF game that I can live with people saying is better haha.
9 is better than 7, despite many people's disagreement. The story, in particular, is better written , even though it is not as epic. I would much rather be able to understand wtf is happening, and anyway, nine is superisingly dark for a game with such a “childish” art style, though I hate this particular criticism. It definitely aged better than 7 did. Literally made me an existential thinker too, the writing is that good.
@ 9 was really good and yes was very dark with Vivi. Honestly one of the reasons why I don’t go back to play it is that I find the first 3-4 hours sooooo boring haha
They should make all modern games with super long cutscenes and make them totally unskipable. Curb your -tsm.
@@snake098765 lol omg
I remember having the debate about FF6 vs FF7 back in the day and I was a FF7 fanboy until I replayed them recently. FF7 is still great to me but no where near close to FF6.
So I haven't played FF6 in like 15+ years...does that mean I need to replay it? lol
@ReplayJunky yeah it holds up way better than FF7. I hate to admit it.
@@JahWillBlessKwaz that makes me sad... lol
I have no nostalgia for this game. I’ve tried to play it five times and always fall off sometime after leaving Midgar. The experience is so clunky and the story and characters aren’t grabbing me at all-I’m going to try for a sixth time. Wish me luck!
OMG you have to play pass Midgar! That's when the game opens up and the story gets really good. Grit your teeth and play it through!
I was the same way, I tried over and over and never got it I booted it up and streamed it over discord with some friends and... That totally changed the experience I'm nearing the end of disc 1 now and I'm totally hooked
@@MrSaturnMusic that is awesome! I love that and want your opinion after you finish!
this game still rules....i played this in 2000 on PC and several times afterwards...the graphics suck but that's why its so charming...but im old and obviously biased...kids today might hate it
@@logancrawley2634 kids definitely have a hard time getting over the graphics
You truly cannot talk about "best game ever made" without this one being mentioned
@@jamesmayo9533 I agree!
I play this at least once every year and every time I find something new and come away impressed with what they achieved. FFIV-X will likely remain some of my favourite RPGs and in some cases games of all time.
@@Ragingspoon yea it’s my comfort game, I love coming back to it. Still playing FF7 Rebirth with over 80 hours in it, trying to 100% it. Have you played the remakes?
FF7 isn't even the best Final Fantasy game, let alone best of all time.
What would you consider to be the best Final Fantasy game?
7 is the best amd popular overall, butt gameplay wise its x @@ReplayJunky
@ oooo I didn’t like X, what did you like about it? (Tbh I haven’t played that game since release)
@@ReplayJunky I'm still a big fan of 6. I think FF7 is maybe the 3rd best one?
@ 3rd?!?! What’s the second lol
YES.
Hell yea!
in 2024 it can be rough to play if you don't have the ps1 nostalgia. but mods breathe an ungodly amount of new life into the game and I'm enjoying a playthrough right now.
@@Shazammo I actually did try those mods out and I do agree it does help a lot. Unfortunately there wasn’t a mod to skip the summon cutscenes 😂
Call me a nostalgic fanboy, but I think FF7 graphics are unique and kinda cute, it's called chibi style and from what I heard it was an artistic choice, it wasn't chosen due technological limitations. FF8 took a more "realistic" approach but the result is not great, everything is very low res. FF7 battle graphics are wayyy better.
@@giuliobonasso3663 that’s interesting, and here I always thought it was due to graphical limitations. Ok I’ll give you that, but what’s the deal with unskippable summons??? Lol
@@ReplayJunky tbh id believe it was because of limitations. ff7's development was notoriously sketchy and they are lucky they got a totally working build (hence things like the debug menu still being ingame)
@@Shazammo well I think they were also dealing with leaving Nintendo and from what I read the N64 was failing to run their test demos
Greatest game ever made!

@@ReplayJunky I don't know if I'd go that far but it is definitely in the running.
@@olstar18 What would you consider the best? Maybe top 3
@@ReplayJunky Difficult for me to really give an actual best but maybe ff6, the original deadspace and either star ocean end of time or the orignal xcom depending on how I feel that morning.
@@olstar18 I like FF7, Chrono Trigger, A Link to the Past
In hindsight, I actually love the polygon character models! Especially because, as you said, the combat and cutscenes showed off better visuals. The polygons come off endearing to me and because they were only used in FF7, which gives it so much identity (for better or for worse haha) vs the other FF's! All in all.. I think your rating is fair! This game is so highly loved imo because of it's characters and for me, I think they carry it to 4/5 Buster Swords!
Only .5 Buster Swords higher! I'll take that haha! It will and will always be my favorite game of all time, the story and the twists were so good back then. It strangely is my comfort game.
My biggest issue with this video is you comparing Chrono trigger's combat to combat from "modern rpgs" like Elden Ring, which are in a different subgenre with completely different combat systems. They're not really comparable/it's a bad analogy when you could and should have been comparing CT to modern turn based games like Persona or newer Dragon Quest.
@@baixiaolang that’s a fair point, but I never played persona or dragon quest. I’ll definitely keep that in mind moving forward! Thank you
Maaaaaan these criticisms are disingenuous. ATB vs ARPG is not an apples to apples comparison. May as well say "This ATB game doesn't have as much action as a modern FPS or racing game." The silent protagonist is a deliberate story decision and was very common at the time for a player insert Character. See Secret of Mana, FF7 etc Backtracking and exploring the time travel changes is like, the whole point of the game. The multiple endings was a huge selling point. Modern games still do that to great succes
@@marquisdan7659 this video was more for a gamer in this generation of gaming, that never played and whether they should give it a chance. Plus highlight things that were great but also things that have not aged well
