1 thing all my friend and family need to know about FF Rebirth: the weekend of the game release, I don’t exist Edit: just checking in to make sure others have started “Not Existing” as well… the game is great
Falcon? To correct your statement. Disk one ended escaping midgar. Disk two ended after the incident in the ancient city; which seems to be true for rebirth. Disk three actually had very little on it which is prob why they put off the last two chars and their story.
My mom watched me play the original Final fantasy 7 when i was younger, she has recently heard about the remake and watched some videos on it, she is now very excited as she wants me to take my PS5 over for a weekend so she can watch me play the new remake .
I Remember when square lied and said FF7 remake "won't fit" in ONE game. Now it's not open world, and the story is different. That's already strike 3. Not to mention all the money stolen from player who played FF7 Last Soldier after killing it in just a year after release.
I hope it's a failure in comparison to remake (I know it won't be a failure in general) to punish the guys for fucking up the story in a way that was motivated solely by the need to drain the consumer of as much money as humanly possible.
@@jamesmiller5331 lol its not going to be a failure at all. They said from the beginning that the remake trilogy wasn't going to be 100% the same as the original, that it was going to be expanded on and altered slightly but still give you the feeling of the original, which so far has been done excellent. FF7 was a huge part of my childhood and I for one am happy the way these new games are going.
@HAbarneyWK sorry. I know you didn't request a small novel but obviously it's a sore subject that I have a lot of thoughts on. I see people say all the time "no one wanted to play the same game again" but I don't remember anyone complaining when the demo dropped and was basically a copy of the first bombing mission, just expanded a little. It just made everyone even more hyped for the game. I think a lot of people decided they were going to love it no matter what. Hell, *I* thought I was one of those people.
Not sure of everybodys definition of openworld but the director actually said the game is a openworld with seamless interconnected regions. There is also verticality to it and you'll need specific chocobos to be able to climb or fly.
I am so ready to farm nuts to breed me a gold chocobo once again. Now im kinda nostalgic for the good old times of resetting the game for hours to finally get the gold chick to hatch.
The technical definition of "open world" in gaming means your character has zero restrictions on where they can go at all times, it doesn't require something in the story to occur in order to proceed. This is why FFVII: Rebirth isn't open world because you can't get to certain areas of the game until you progress through the story (for instance, you can't get to Costa del Sol until you complete your first trip to Junon... or you can't get to Cosmo Canyon until you complete the Gold Saucer/Prison). That's why in this video he said it's "open zone", meaning if you've unlocked an area by progressing through the story, you can explore anywhere in that area.
@@nicholasnajibi3082 I grew up playing FFIV and VI. Wasn't the biggest fan of VII. The remake fleshed out the setting and characters. I enjoyed it much more than the original. The music was also fantastic.
Final Fantasy VII was my favorite video game of all time, maybe Chrono Trigger but most likely Final Fantasy 7 and that's why I hated the remake. I didn't think there was anything they were going to be able to do that would turn me off of a graphic update to this game but they found a way.
@@nicholasnajibi3082always at least one of you losers on every comment where an OG fan likes both. I’m 34 years old and likely played more FF games than you, and Remake is one of the best remakes to ever happen PERIOD. Once this remake trilogy is finished it will trump the original in my opinion. Take your nostalgia glasses off.
"open zone" basically how it used to be and that worked just great as long as you can back track! love to hear it! Getting cut off from a previous sections would be aweful tho!
@@fajaradi1223 well yeah i guess XII was like that. it has been to long. not sure if you could go back in X. i guess you could. star ocean 2 is a good example. you can explore the first Continent completely and get fisted by stronger enemies if you go in the "wrong" direction but to leave the continent you need to progress the story. or you could level up and get back to the story and steam roll everything if you want to. that game just has perfect balance! they dont make games like that anymore. not even octopath managed that since it is open world. maybe FF VII rebirth can do it.
Think of it like how we explored the overworld in the old FF 7 but the dungeons and towns are actually fully there and there is no loading screens. You see Junon from the distance and you can go there and seamlessly walk into the town with no loading. People dont want to call it open world because we arent free to explore every corner of the map from the start of the game. As far as im aware..the only load screens will be fast travel.@@fajaradi1223
Insanely hyped for this game. The first part was amazing. Final fantasy 7 was actually the first RPG ever played and it holds a very special place in my heart
3:26 There appears to be a summon available for each region that you can collect by defeating them in Chadly’s virtual arena; they are very, very hard fights; you weaken them by finding and activating the hidden divine intel zone in each region; I heard this takes them down to 1/2 strength
@@michaelhanson5773 - Nope. I've played through the flashback part of the demo, since the full game will save that progress, but I haven't touched the other part of the demo.
Damn. Thats like a third of our lives (hopefully less). Ill never forget getting stuck on both ff9 and ff7 and getting frustrated at the pool one summer and going home and unstucking myself. Good times, playaz
Everytime I hear a youtube mispronounce something thats said a thousand times in game, it reminds me that they're just reading off a script for these things lol
He also said nibble-heim. It's knee-bowl-heim. Then he said Costa del Saul. I think it's pronounced Costa del Soul. THEN he said Golden Saucer when it's just Gold Saucer... but that's me getting picky. Sometimes I call it The Golden Saucer too. 😂😂😂
Quick clarification: I do believe the developers have stated that the zones are connected seamlessly with no loading screens. I guess "open world" could also imply that the player can experience the story in a non-linear way--which i don't think applies here--but this game is "open world" in all other senses of the term.
It's not open world because you can't go anywhere at any time. You are free to explore the zones at your leisure, but to change zones you have to either fast travel, or take a specific route. ie the cave after the midgar zolom.
thats not true at all. Once you get to a certain point of the story you can go anywhere. If you were in rocket town or something you could get on the tiny bronco and make your way back to junon. You dont have to travel back through every "linear" path that brought you to rocket town in the first place.@@bonanzabrandon6877
For more context for anyone who doesn't know, the third disc had to contain a lot of prerendered CGI cutscenes, which left little room for actual content. With the first two discs covering 98% of the game, the structure here makes perfect sense.
Yeah it definitely wasn't for pacing reasons, or narrative. I think a lot of us don't remember exactly HOW MUCH CGI was in the third disc, not just the climax of the game but TONS of spots in the Northern Crater itself has massive CGI sequences as background. Those sections get so hyped that we often didn't even notice our pre-rendered background is now uh, a full motion video lol
I just bought FF7R last week on steam as my first FF game ever. I havnt been able to put it down, it's so amazing. I can't wait for this to release on PC
I just finished remake for the first time on ps5. Already have 40 something hours on one save file, going to complete the story again on hard mode and then platinum
The thing im most excited for part 2 is just the Re-imagining of the golden saucer. I hope its just as crazy, depraved, and wacky fun house as before and they dont hold back. The mini games and all that should be a treat. It HAS to be one of he BIG highlights of Part 2
Did people really think they would cut Cait Sith?? Sure, he was probably the least played character by a substantial margin but his character had a pretty big role in the original's story...
If he was forced into my part and died, I left him dead. But, yeah, he's pretty important to the game. There's no way you could cut the character without altering the narrative significantly.
I think most people doubted that they would cut him, but were wondering if he would still ride the giant moogle because in Advent Children and the Vincent spin-off, it was nowhere to be found.
I remember decades ago when he died grabbing the black materia. I was happy they killed him off. Then all of a sudden from a distance...im cait sith 2...🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Ironically, Cait Sith was one of the most powerful characters in the original game and an absolute must-have in the speed-running community. I think a lot of people just saw his lower base stats and the fact he was a rather bland character and just didn't want to use him.
Ah, FINALLY someone acknowledging that the bonding mechanic was already present in the OG FFVII, even though hidden. Hearing it presented as a new thing from so many professional outlets drove me crazy... Thank you Falcon!
Oh man my first original playthrough I went though close to 100 mates with my black chocobo without getting a gold one, eventually beat the game without one..my second playthrough, first time I was actually mad it only took 1 try, the amount of time spent on my first go was ridiculous l.
@@Dan-Simms I think there is somewhere on the backend that forced the game to give the undesired result. I had the same issue in the past. I remember seeing a video on the scripting specifics and it turns out I was the one making the mistake. I'll have to find that again...
Bought FF7 on PS 1 in 1997. Double CD Jewel case. Didn't think it would be good. It was so good, friends would come over to watch me play it. We started alternating who's playing so we could complete it
The thing for me is i want my summons from the Remake playthrough. I think Bahamut didn't get the glory it deserves because of the limited areas we could summon him.
I loved Triple Triad, even joined an online version of it and played that for years and met some cool people through it. FF games really do make some great mini games
Same, I was always bad at it. Especially as a child I just didn't understand. Had to learn when it came to Playstation though so I could get the platinum.
I always SUUUUUPER appreciate it when they make it fairly easy to respect your ability points in RPGs. As some of us wants to experiment on different play styles.
This is my most anticipated game of the year! So hyped. Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 reload surprised me and I bet this game will blow my mind. So hyped.
I remember buying the PS1 with FF7 through grey import for (back then) about 1500 guilders - 700 euro's-ish today. How time has flown and how excited I am for this iteration is uncanny!
I'm so glad the exclusivity deal is only 3 months. Might still take 6 months to a year to see it on PC tho but if the PC port is as good as 15 was then it's worth the wait.
@TomMSTie1138 I'm not a fan of that in general. It always bugged me that Xenosaga and Mass Effect always restart you at the beginning of the next game. But I understand that they already have to carefully balance it for new people who didn't play the new game. Still, they could at least give you Gil or item bonuses for a little head start.
I don't usually comment on the presenters of videos like this but well done, you explained these points very well and added some very solid ideas to the mix.
I think I saw somewhere that they said there was no planned Vincent DLC at the moment. They said that the story they are going to tell with him would be enough to “please the fans”.
10:41 the buggy is likely back due to the devs having the desert blockade from the original game. there were quicksand barriers around the Corel Prison, making it impossible to escape it, once inside. the buggy was the only way to cross the desert. it was also our only way to cross rivers, so perhaps there will be unpassable river sections in the world? But, we did see flying and wall climbing chocobos, so who knows how useful the buggy will be? The continents on the world map is also vastly different from the original. I like that
They’ve actually said that by the end of the game that you’ll be able to walk/traverse from one end of the map to the other, without being obstructed by zones. Although I take your point it is open zones and chapter/story based progression. Nice videos 😊
Square wants to make this the best game ever and as memorable as the original which I'm so here for. This is way more than I could have asked for I never thought I'd see the day that they actually remade the game and they're doing it so big. I'm so excited I literally cannot wait. It's gonna be so hard if we lose aerith after two whole amazing games with her.
They mentioned Arieth’s fate in the showing… something about your relationship strength could change her fate. Perhaps it’s possible to either save her or not in this game 🤔
@cassidyart_s Ok cool, I can assume Ill be done within a few days then! Ive been super addicted to it but Im starting to get that itch of wanting to move on 😂
You miss the theory crafting! To each their own, but I enjoy reading the crazy fan theories and getting into discussions boy how the story is going to change. And since 15 and 16 weren’t for me, I’m seeing the 7 trilogy as the only offline FF game worth my time presently.
12:36 I've played the original on PS1 more times than I can remember. If they put a new path in the game where I can save Aeris (Yes that's what she's named in the European version) I'm all for it. I knowthat in the Japanese version there is a path called "Resurrect Areith".
Really excited for this game. Going to get my PS5 tomorrow as this is the first game on my must play list that is PS5 exclusive. Probably not going to watch a lot more videos on the game from now on, as I want to avoid spoilers. One question I have about the dating mechanic is if it will affect the song 'Promises To Keep' that Aerith is shown to be singing. It would be kind of crazy if there would be versions of Tifa, Barret, and Yuffie singing that song or even getting their own unique song.
I think Open Zone is the perfect compromise and it fits FF7 better than an open world game. RPG’s back then were practically "open zone" too, with the world map being a nice illusion to mask that
I'm excited to find out if they kept the Chocobo nest found on the train tracks path to Corel. That was one of my favorite little secrets of the original.
Just have to say you’re hilarious Falcon. Even without seemingly even trying. Your cadence is as close to perfect as it gets and I generally agree fully with your perceptions of games. Subscriber for life. 🙏🏽
How about the twin pack deal. One of the best marketing tactics I've ever seen. Preorder Rebirth before it comes out, and we'll give you Remake and intermission
13:15 - So yeah, this is what I think they're getting at. Aerith is still going to die (in JRPG terms, the word 'fate' tends to mean 'destination' or 'end'), but she's going to give Cloud the White Materia first, so he can do a thing later on in the third game that he wasn't able to do in the original. I think this is going to be how they stop the Geostigma from happening.
The hidden affinity mechanic did more than determine who you went on a date with at Golden Saucer. It also determined what happened under the Highwind. IYKYK
There probably wont be a Rebirth DLC with playable Cid or Vincent. I think it was Hamaguchi that said he would prefer to continue on the third part and get it done faster than work on side projects and DLCs for Rebirth. I completely agree with that sentiment, because another full 4 years until part 3 would be rough
Would be cool if there were some crazy sequence of events you have to do to save "you know who". Or if you even can, considering they are "fighting fate/ destiny", Id assume anything is possible at this point.
My fiancee had plans for us to see her parents for this weekend. I told her Ive been waiting 4 years for this game and i just seen your parents a month ago so they can wait lol. She didnt take it very well but hey this game is awesome
I think whoever you bond with most and go out on a date with is who gets killed by sephiroth in the end, but with all these different timelines implemented in the game it will make us believe they are dead and gone for good but then in the 3rd game they will bring them back somehow in a different timeline. Just a theory but I’m sure they could make that work somehow. What do you think?

Disk one ended escaping midgar.
Disk two ended after the incident in the ancient city; which seems to be true for rebirth.
Disk three actually had very little on it which is prob why they put off the last two chars and their story.

"I remember when Final Fantasy 7 was ONE Game!"
"Sure Grandma, lets get you to bed."
That's even funnier if you count Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus as part of the first game.

Disc 3 was basically the end. I believe the only reason it was needed was because the the ending was so big it needed its own Disc to fit it.

The person you bond with and go out with in Gold Saucer is the one Sephiroth kills

Bought FF7 on PS 1 in 1997. Double CD Jewel case. Didn't think it would be good. It was so good, friends would come over to watch me play it. We started alternating who's playing so we could complete it
The thing for me is i want my summons from the Remake playthrough. I think Bahamut didn't get the glory it deserves because of the limited areas we could summon him.
I loved Triple Triad, even joined an online version of it and played that for years and met some cool people through it. FF games really do make some great mini games
8:00 - I can say this with the utmost sincerity, I sucked at "Triple Triad" mainly because I didn't understand how the mechanics worked 🙈
It was basic math, bro
Tetra master is way more confusing
Same, I was always bad at it. Especially as a child I just didn't understand. Had to learn when it came to Playstation though so I could get the platinum.
Gameranx, please, im trying my best to forget about my most anticipated game of the decade to make this final week and a half go faster
I always SUUUUUPER appreciate it when they make it fairly easy to respect your ability points in RPGs. As some of us wants to experiment on different play styles.
I can't wait to go to the golden saucer and cosmo canyon. Especially cosmo canyon. That music and vibe really triggers super warm fuzzies.
I like how you say Midger instead of Midgar. The joys of different dialects. Respect
This is my most anticipated game of the year! So hyped. Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 reload surprised me and I bet this game will blow my mind. So hyped.
Zelda was more innovative, it's only a 5/10 bro.
I watch every one of these videos knowing full well that I’ll never play most of these games
I don't have a ps5 that's my reason 😔
All PS5 games should have 120hz mode and 90fps.
I remember buying the PS1 with FF7 through grey import for (back then) about 1500 guilders - 700 euro's-ish today. How time has flown and how excited I am for this iteration is uncanny!
I'm so glad the exclusivity deal is only 3 months. Might still take 6 months to a year to see it on PC tho but if the PC port is as good as 15 was then it's worth the wait.
im getting goosebumps just because im so excited. we waited more than a decade for this fam.
If you have a saved game from Remake/Intergrade, do you keep your levels/stats/materia, or do you have to start over?
You start over, unfortunately. Those two bonus summons are all that you get for completed save files.
@@drewtheunspoken3988 Yup, Leviathan and Ramuh are the bonus summons you get if you have saved data from Remake.
@@drewtheunspoken3988 oh poop.
@TomMSTie1138 I'm not a fan of that in general. It always bugged me that Xenosaga and Mass Effect always restart you at the beginning of the next game. But I understand that they already have to carefully balance it for new people who didn't play the new game. Still, they could at least give you Gil or item bonuses for a little head start.
I don't usually comment on the presenters of videos like this but well done, you explained these points very well and added some very solid ideas to the mix.
I do not expect this. But it would be cool if the party interaction mechanic was tied to Aerith's fate.
What about Fort Condor? Battle Strategy-mini game?! ( that was my fav! Phoenix Summon)
Already pre-ordered and taken time off work to play this masterpiece. The wait is killing me though.
I really hope they nail the Gold Saucer, one of my favorite moments in video game history was running around that place.
👍
"I'm not sure why they didn't include a minigame called 'Hold my beer'😂😂😂"
I think I saw somewhere that they said there was no planned Vincent DLC at the moment. They said that the story they are going to tell with him would be enough to “please the fans”.
Number 11: Sweet Baby Inc are consultants on this game.
10:41 the buggy is likely back due to the devs having the desert blockade from the original game. there were quicksand barriers around the Corel Prison, making it impossible to escape it, once inside.
the buggy was the only way to cross the desert.
it was also our only way to cross rivers, so perhaps there will be unpassable river sections in the world?
But, we did see flying and wall climbing chocobos, so who knows how useful the buggy will be?
The continents on the world map is also vastly different from the original. I like that
They’ve actually said that by the end of the game that you’ll be able to walk/traverse from one end of the map to the other, without being obstructed by zones. Although I take your point it is open zones and chapter/story based progression.
Nice videos 😊
👍🏼
I'm so excited for FF7 Rebirth, in fact I haven't been so excited for a video game in years
The one thing i hated about the remake was that your rolls didnt have I-frames, got tired of getting wacked every time an enemy decided to attack.
Square wants to make this the best game ever and as memorable as the original which I'm so here for. This is way more than I could have asked for I never thought I'd see the day that they actually remade the game and they're doing it so big. I'm so excited I literally cannot wait. It's gonna be so hard if we lose aerith after two whole amazing games with her.
They mentioned Arieth’s fate in the showing… something about your relationship strength could change her fate. Perhaps it’s possible to either save her or not in this game 🤔
We just need to level her to 99 before we get to that point, right?
To Falcon, you forgot to say at 8:53 On motorcycles
Probably THE ONLY GAME worth my preorder deluxe edition money lol before even seeing reviews we know it’ll be great unlike some other titles this year
Delux edition myself, base edition for my brother.
It's already been beaten by Tekken.
I was literally just talking about rebirth because I beat Persona 3 Reload yesterday! Thank you ❤
How many hours did Reload take you? Im on hour 80 in late November. Not sure when its going to end
@@oceano87 it took me 98 hours close to 100 to beat this game!
@cassidyart_s Ok cool, I can assume Ill be done within a few days then! Ive been super addicted to it but Im starting to get that itch of wanting to move on 😂
@@oceano87 that's completely understandable lol it's a long game and the ending is really worth it
What i need to know is why you guys are so awesome
All thanks to your support
I’ll wait for the it to be complete.
You miss the theory crafting! To each their own, but I enjoy reading the crazy fan theories and getting into discussions boy how the story is going to change. And since 15 and 16 weren’t for me, I’m seeing the 7 trilogy as the only offline FF game worth my time presently.
This game and the trilogy as a whole would be considered the best game of all time when its all said and done.
That belongs to zelda - and nothing else.
you said we known what happens for 17 years ... bro 27 years lol
12:36 I've played the original on PS1 more times than I can remember. If they put a new path in the game where I can save Aeris (Yes that's what she's named in the European version) I'm all for it.
I knowthat in the Japanese version there is a path called "Resurrect Areith".
Anyone else think they got Cid wrong?
I took the day off on launch for this. I have a 4 day weekend to get into this and I am stoked.
I hate how he says Mid-ger
Im curious if Dirge of Cerberus will get the Integrade treatment? Could possibly be a future spinoff title
Goty contender
🤞
Not even close
Really excited for this game. Going to get my PS5 tomorrow as this is the first game on my must play list that is PS5 exclusive. Probably not going to watch a lot more videos on the game from now on, as I want to avoid spoilers. One question I have about the dating mechanic is if it will affect the song 'Promises To Keep' that Aerith is shown to be singing. It would be kind of crazy if there would be versions of Tifa, Barret, and Yuffie singing that song or even getting their own unique song.
I think Open Zone is the perfect compromise and it fits FF7 better than an open world game.
RPG’s back then were practically "open zone" too, with the world map being a nice illusion to mask that
Never thought I would play a Final Fantasy but this one is certainly catching my attention O_O
I'm excited to find out if they kept the Chocobo nest found on the train tracks path to Corel. That was one of my favorite little secrets of the original.
So... open zones like Elden Ring with Limgrave, Liurnia, Mountain top of the giants?
Yep.
I’ve only played the newest one with Clive was wondering if I should give this one a shot even if I didn’t play the original
Absolutely, don't worry about the OG. You can try them later, and it's almost free (about $6 or so).
Just have to say you’re hilarious Falcon. Even without seemingly even trying. Your cadence is as close to perfect as it gets and I generally agree fully with your perceptions of games. Subscriber for life. 🙏🏽
I think the best part of aeriths fate is that they have everyone questioning what will happen even though we all know her original fate
Excited for Witai, weapon fights, the highwind and the Sub for part 3.
How about the twin pack deal. One of the best marketing tactics I've ever seen. Preorder Rebirth before it comes out, and we'll give you Remake and intermission
13:15 - So yeah, this is what I think they're getting at. Aerith is still going to die (in JRPG terms, the word 'fate' tends to mean 'destination' or 'end'), but she's going to give Cloud the White Materia first, so he can do a thing later on in the third game that he wasn't able to do in the original. I think this is going to be how they stop the Geostigma from happening.
In the PS1 version you technically could get "Knights of the Round" on the 2nd disk. I'm seeing at least the black Chockobo in this trailer.
I thought you needed gold to get the knights?
This is the most excited I’ve ever heard Falcon! Excellent to hear how enthusiastic you are for the game, it’s got me hyped. 👌🏻🙏🏻
I feel like this game is going to really surprise everyone. It looks amazing.
I'm calling it now. Zach will be a full time party member at some point in Part 3!
flying around eos with the regalia type f worked, i dont see an issue with full highwind control
The hidden affinity mechanic did more than determine who you went on a date with at Golden Saucer. It also determined what happened under the Highwind. IYKYK
So, does your progress from Remake carry over? Weapon upgrades, levels, etc?
Nope this is treated as a separate game.
seeing cid in beautiful fidelity makes me so happy to see and causes remniscence of ps2 cid from kh
There probably wont be a Rebirth DLC with playable Cid or Vincent. I think it was Hamaguchi that said he would prefer to continue on the third part and get it done faster than work on side projects and DLCs for Rebirth. I completely agree with that sentiment, because another full 4 years until part 3 would be rough
Would be cool if there were some crazy sequence of events you have to do to save "you know who". Or if you even can, considering they are "fighting fate/ destiny", Id assume anything is possible at this point.
My fiancee had plans for us to see her parents for this weekend. I told her Ive been waiting 4 years for this game and i just seen your parents a month ago so they can wait lol. She didnt take it very well but hey this game is awesome
I think whoever you bond with most and go out on a date with is who gets killed by sephiroth in the end, but with all these different timelines implemented in the game it will make us believe they are dead and gone for good but then in the 3rd game they will bring them back somehow in a different timeline. Just a theory but I’m sure they could make that work somehow. What do you think?
Daang!!! I was sooo very looking forward to play (even just see) Valentine!
Vincent Valentine has always been amongst my favorite game character.
I really hope they include the section where Cid goes into space with a shuttle!
Will there be a before you buy for outlast trials?
Good question I don’t give a fuck about this candy coated AAA overrated horseshit
