Rex’s reaction to Annabella was hilarious. I felt the same.

Oh boy. GGs Rex.

Great stream 😂

FF7 Rebirth and FF16 are amazing games, BOTH! each game has their own strengths and weaknesses, and they double down on their strengths! FF16 does better some things than 7 and vice versa. FF7 Rebirth focuses on the open world and RPG aspects better than 16, like party management, character build up, side quests and exploration. While FF16 focuses on the story and action combat experience, a visual spectacle with a compelling story and acting, it makes every fight so different, and it keeps topping itself as the game goes on and you never expect it, it keeps surprising you. I love to have FF games as different as this, so every game can have their own identity.

3:01:51 I saw a comment from Ix thunder saying old players are the ones downplaying this game. Well, gotta be like NES era old players, because I consider myself an old player, I was like 14 when I player FF8 for the first time and that game had been out for at least 3 years then, AND I LOVED THIS GAME. And that "pattern" didn't start after 10, it started after 7. The "hate trend" started with 8 (for not meeting the players absurd expectations after 7), then 10 (hating on Tidus and silly laughs but ignored the whole story), then 13 (for being linear and stuff even though FFX was linear too and I didn't see anyone complaining about that in 10), then 14 (the original 1.0 but well deserved tho), then 15 (also kinda deserved for its atrocious development process), and now 16 for being "too different", and action oriented even though FF15 was ALSO action oriented and no one complained about that specifically... People are dumb, or forgetful... people don't know what they want or don't even know WHY they like or dislike something.

What a hype stream this was. Loved the reactions to the various phases of the boss fight! Top content dude.

I came in here so late.. FF 7 rebirth is 10/10 masterpiece game ever i played. Aerith is number one for me as one of my favorite characters of all times beside Cloud. Tifa, Red, Barret and Yuffie are great characters to me. Aerith is main reason why i love everything about her: sweet, beautiful, adorable and has great personality

Thanks Jinx3d95 for the 100 bits at 2:36:54 🥰🎉 Rex missed it he was too hyped from the fight 😆

Solid review. I was so into this game the first half and was recommending it to all my friends. By the second half, I was telling those same friends "Nevermind! It's not really worth it." But because they were playing the exciting first half, they argued with me. When they reached the second half, many just put the game down. It suffers from pacing and editing issues. The side quests become very boring, and you start to see the pattern. Go to a location, do a simple dungeon crawl, have a great boss fight, go back to base, and do too many boring side quests. The story and dialoge over explains the same concepts and then repeats those explanations. Slavery and magic bad. Got it! I don't need 20 hours of side quest dialoge to explain it again. Jill is relegated to being Clive's therapist. If there is an excuse to have her sit out a fight, then the writers will take it. It reminds me of Sakura from Naruto, where you keep hoping she will get her moment, but it never happens. I did enjoy the main villain. I won't go into more in case of spoilers.

Rex you had hdr on Because the colors look kinda nice

The tragedy and regality of the boss theme hits harder after seeing Dions flashback.

ASCENSION!!!!

Let's fucking go

Such an emotional journey watching you go through this game. It’s by far one of my favorites. The ending has me in tears every time ❤️😭

The performance was never fixed like Yoshi p promised I will never trust him again....I thought it was a great game though just not a great final fantasy

Rex your build to normal enemies is better to bosses and the boss build is better for normal enemies 😂 :)

This is where I ended the game, because aiming during this fight just defeated me, and I didn’t feel like getting good at this point. So I don’t really know a whole lot of what happens after this.

One of the best games I've ever played masterpiece

I don’t give a fuck I LOVE this game. Respectfully

I grew up in the Golden age of jrpgs, Chrono trigger, Final fantasy 6, etc... I understand the need to take Final fantasy into a new direction, however, this was the first Final fantasy game that I literally could not finish. It was just too bland. Not to mention I like my optional content, like hidden characters hidden bosses.. the equipment system was absolutely awful. Crafting didn't need to exist at all. Pretty much every side quest was super boring.. I could go on for a while, but let's just say I wasn't a fan of this one

short answer: Cid's daughter

Clive is the most raw and badass protag in the entire series.

there is rumour a ffx pt 3 a new sin aka Seymour will it happen probably not square just remake ffx

I agree with this. The beginning of the game up through Cid's death was 9/10 at least. With Cid out of the party, 90% of the interractions were stiff and uninspired. Jill is incredibly bad. As the game went on, the highs became higher and the lows became lower. Overall I was just disappointed the momentum from the beginning and the incredible interplay of Clive and Cid wasn't mauntained.

its a roller coaster with big highs and valleys as only a handful of the side quests are worthwhile and they are all at the end. best enjoyed without spoilers and going into it completely blind. jaded *i hate everything made after the year 1999* type people need not apply.

id even take a serviette, nah not to eat it .... promise 6:06

It was alright, ok story, but nearly 100% of the side quests are generic fetch/kill quests and are forgettable. I can only think of 1 side quest atm, and I’d just finished it. Bland open world that’s empty. The gears basically useless. You get a slight upgrade every so often. Doesn’t really feel you have much choice or freedom. For me, it’ll prob go the route of ff15 for me where I can’t even remember any of the story or how that played out. Not too much is memorable other than boss fights.

Wards are like adopted children, in this case a politically advantageous seizing of custody. She was collateral. I think the only thing ruling out kidnapping, is that Jill's father likely agreed (relictantly I'm sure) to give up custody.

A game with some of the hypest highs i've ever seen in any video game ... followed by some of the most uninspired side content i've ever seen lol. Overall, still a good and solid game

I loved the game, but it needed weapon variety, at least 2-3 optional dungeons and it would've been cool to see status effects on a timer/cooldown you could use items for. I think weapon variety adding the ability to switch between weapons and combo attacks with the eikons would've been great. The story and music are top notch though. It oozes FF

I think you made fair points on all accounts Rex. Cid was a stand out. And alot of people did feel that Benedicta's role was cut painfully short. Idk if I subscribe to that but I don't blame people who felt that way. Jill's story next to Tifa lacks a bit of "punch" but her story with Clive is one of the best written love stories in FF. The combat in this game like you said is unlike anything else in FF. Just absolutely sick. The bulk of the quests and extra dialogue are probably the most mundane parts. I'm glad you're enjoying this game overall and I think in the end, this game will age extremely well.

Like you said.. "you dont want ff being fifa." I feel like you're right about this game contrasting. Knowing tje ff franchise, hopefully they learn from the downs you were talking about and listen to their fans to make 17 more immersive and complex. I feel like thats just what they do. Also, when i was watching yesterdays stream, you said something like "what is this dirge?" And i do see simmilarities of the game in this beautiful piece of art. Cause thats how i feel this game is..ART. Some folk will appreciate what they have and some wont.

I really tried to like this game but i just couldn't , too many deal breakers : no weapons variety , only one single character in the entire game , scripted summons , terrible sidequest design , no minigames , clunky run mechanics and bad camera and field of view and lastly the game's performance is probably the worst ive seen in the series (at least in framerate mode) This for me is ultimately one of the worst games in the series .

I'm just glad Rebirth learned from this game and Remake in terms of lame side quests. This game story wise is amazing. Even the concept of the summons being transformations is refreshingly new while still providing us with the summons we all know and love. I think storywise you will like the remainder of the game.

I actually like watching people play through this game. Upon finishing it, I think I enjoyed FF 15 more, which was a highly criticized game. I think this game is a 7 or 7.5 game out of 10 with 11 out of 10 moments .

I agree that Final Fantasy as a series is strong because it tries new things. As much as I LOVE FF16, I also don't want every FF game moving forward to be like 16. I really want to see Final Fantasy 17 be in a traditional turn based format, in the style of Octopath Traveler.

You forgot the mention the MUSIC.... oh my GAAAAWD the music is FIREEEEEEEEEEEEE

For me is similar for FF7 Remake and Rebirth. Sometimes they did right but some others just trash development decisions.

First half, 10/10, second half 5/10

I thought the game was fine from a gameplay mechanic standpoint, although I feel that FF7 remake and Rebirth were better just mechanic wise. Story wise.........i'm a bit conflicted I really liked the first like 1/3 of the game but then the rest of the story kind of devolved into kind of.......'meh' till the end. I've certainly seen worse stories in RPG's and other Final Fantasy games, I guess I just wished they could have taken what I really liked in the first 1/3 and kept it going till the end.

I agree with you that you appreciate that XVI exists. I also share the opinion that Final Fantasy is good because they don't stay the same in every iteration of the mainline series. There will be some parts that I have to adapt to, and that's okay. Of course, that doesn't mean that it cannot be criticized.

ill say it again this shouldve been a one off movie. the writing was amazing and combat but the world and actual exploration and rpg mechanics were absent.
