In plain english: don't waste story games in streams with interruptions every 30 seconds. Then again, this one is probably 90% combat. But it was a real shame for example with Outer Wilds.
@The Last And First Time To be fair, Jon has done that before, some of the older live streams were broken into videos, some of the older Stellaris videos are in that form.
full series, not livestream. this game is beautiful and has so many features to show off. ff7 would really do well as a properly curated matn experience. maybe you could do this in biweekly installments.
I clicked on this as soon as I noticed it! I'm so excited for this game, but I don't have a PS4 to play it on, so I'm relying on youtubers to experience it. Thank you.
It is my 37th Birthday today, and I feel it is so just that this is the MATN video for it. FF7 was not my first JRPG, but it was my first 3D one, and probably my first of such an epic scale. I recieved it for my birthday and I played it for months. Months and months. It was practically glued into my PS1. I played it to 100%; all character stories and ultimate weapons, Golden Chocobo, all Master Materia, the works. And afterwards I played it still; I loved the Gold Saucer. It truly is one of the best JRPGs of all time; the script, the story, the characters, the music, the world, the art... groundbreaking then and still groundbreaking now. Plus, it opened the door to me to many other JRPGs of its scale.
Another entertaining video from you! Ive never played a final fantasy game but ive enjoyed watching people play this game. Id enjoy a video series of you playing the rest of this game
Hi Jon & Claire Greetings from South Africa, we're currently under 21 Day Nation Lock-down. Please Stream this! That would be awesome. Stay home, stay safe.
This was pre-ordered a long time ago as a gift. It will not get here until next week. I was then given a digital copy due to this and my internet has gone out in an outage. I didn't own a PS1 when I bought the game when it came out. The universe just has issues with me playing this game. For now, I have to live it through MATN. Thank you for the content and the time you have taken to provide quality entertainment. Cheers!
what owulda been really clever, would be to bundle in Crisis Core since most fans havent played it. Once they beat 7 they might launch the extra game and start to cry when they learn the backstory.
32:00: They're new recruits, Jon. For all we know, they showed up for their first day of training, were handed a gun and uniform, and sent out due to emergency circumstances. " A Greatsword CAST from carefully selected iron ore." What, is this the Made in China equivalent here? Real swords are forged, not cast.
Hey Jon, just a heads up if you press L2/R2 you can give commands to your party members without switching to them. Hopefully this'll make this already smooth battle system even smoother for you. I'd absolutely love a series of this by the way!
@@jet100a Oh, it's pretty enough, and the gameplay's not terrible (though it's pretty much a less good imitation of what everyone's doing these days... I miss the days when Final Fantasy was innovative...) The big problem is the story is brain-crushingly terrible. Nonsensical time travel elements, completely shitting all over all prior canon, and trying to turn the whole setting into some edgier version of Kingdom Hearts. Not that I expected any better from Squenix these days, but I don't give credit for living up to low expectations.
i don't mind that Square gave you the meat for free, it's only advertising if they gave you the gravy. a free/early copy of a game for a high profile youtuber is just a perk as far as i'm concerned. it's a damn good perk, but a perk nonetheless.
some words and concepts in Japaneese have no English equivalent. which is why some lines either make no sense or are completely different when spoken in japaneese.
A good translator can make things sound natural in a second language, even if it does miss some of the original connotations. Conversations that don't make any sense just mean the translation is sloppy.
how can you obey embargo when there isn't one? Seriously. From that description (no nda) deleting channels is extremely nasty. I guess i sit this one out.
I still can't decide if I like the new plot elements. Not that it ruins the game or anything as I'll always have my original on the PS1 and the very fond memories. Regardless it looks fabulous and I love the new combat mechanics making it worth playing again, the music is still awesome if not quite as fantastic as the old stuff for some of the tones they set. The super hard sounding music was brilliant for all Shinra stuff
Yeah, I'm not sure about the Hallucinations and the Dementors. I kinda like the Hallucinations, kinda not, but the dementors are weird. As you said, this is its own thing, and I am still loving it in total.
Hey Jon, Would you consider playing Convoy? Basically an FTL-y post-apocalyptic-y game that would be alot of fun to watch you play. Give tabby scritches for me!
Unbelievable, Jon, 3 minutes into the video and already, by using the FUKKEN ATB BAR you are superior to literally every single one of those gameplay youtubers that I watched so far. EDIT: Holy shiz, Jon, you're almost nailing the controls on this game. Have you been practicing? :D
Please continue this in a video series! I find it really annoying trying to focus on the narrative of a game like this with donations and chat interaction going on.
After all this time from the original ff7, I'm still wondering if Marlene is a descendent of the Ancients? The original ff7 certainly seemed to hint at that.
I'm so torn I really wanna watch this vid but i also want to play it spoiler free forself, i never played the original. I'll be back once ive finished it myself.
kind of glad it's coming so late as it means Jon most likely played it for a couple of weeks without using time travel. He likely pushed it back so he could end the video with kk slider and transforming.
@@ManyATrueNerd Yay! Sunday is going to be a good day :) (I'm Aussie, so Saturday = Sunday). For the record, I would LOVE an Animal Crossing livestream, if you should feel so inclined
Jon, since channels and videos are being taken down, i hope you were able to reach out to SE and clarify whether or not your NDA allows an hour of gameplay footage/video or only literally the first hour of the game... before you posted this video, i mean.
My unbridled hatred for you right now as you get to play 3 days early is that of a thousand burning suns. Jk love the channel and I'll watch this content later.
Rico Pfeiffer it’s had its ups the downs. On one hand it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. On the other hand it’s a change to a beloved childhood game. It’s conflicting but overall I’d still say I’m liking it a lot
@@MrGhosta5 well yes ive played it though it was a long time ago and they have already said there is a lot of new lore in the game so i want to go in feeling some what fresh

Oh please do a full series with this!
This game was flipping amazing!
Game forces you to give the flower to Tifa, causing you to not get to go on a dream date with Barret. 0/10
Marlene needs that flower
Don't stream this please, I'd rather see this in video form if possible. Narrative focused games are more fun to watch in videos, the pacing's better.
In plain english: don't waste story games in streams with interruptions every 30 seconds.

But it was a real shame for example with Outer Wilds.

I don’t know why hearing him say “Hashtag Ad” so many times is disturbing. It’s like hearing a cat bark . . .
try listening ti "goot game" 30 times over
@@QueernMental Fallout: New Vegas... is goot
(seriously goot april fools joke jon)
Is it really a matn video if something doesn't trigger you by the end?
I keep on hearing Tifa say, "Hey Cloud! Can you do me a solid?" in my head at every opportunity.
"Shoulder deep!" 🤣
Just waiting for Barrett to warn Cloud not too fuck up.
Final fantasy 9 was the first game I played on the ps 1 and loved as a child. But 7 had such a cool story that I brought pretty much all the games.
6 is really good as well.
9 was the best.
8 is always a forgotten gem
true, 6 is great, 8 is a forgotten gem, 9 also great, but 7 is not so good
7 was my first ps1 game too, but 9 and 10 are my favorite.
"I love Jesse so much, Jesse is the best!" - you're gonna be so disappointed, Jon...

Happy Isolated Birthdays to us!
Jon: Diddly-Diddly-Dee
Me: Never change Jon, you wonderful man.
Thanks, Jon. You got me super pumped for when I get this game, hopefully Friday. Loving Tifa and Aeris so far.
It just hit me.
They got Star Ocean in their FF7.
STAR OCEAN 2 REMAKE WHEN??
Star ocean 2is my favourite rpg.
Loved second story.
Loved second evolution.
And would love love love a remake like this ff7 remake!
Tri-Ace IP, and they've been bought out by a telecoms company.
Star Ocean 2 is still my favorite RPG.
PorkPieDodger Do you mean "They got Star Ocean mechanics in their FF7."?
@@jazy921 Yeah but I was trying to do a bit of the "peanut butter chocolate" meme because I'm basic.
Please do this as a series Jon
08:44 It looks like somebody brought some technology back from Big MT.
Since I enjoyed "The Worst Courier" very much,
I wanted to ask you if we'll see a continuation with the FNV DLC or Fallout 3 soon?
Watch the end of the last Worst Courier video, he says he's going to do Old World Blues.
@@Tuskin38 How did I miss that...
not just any DLC, but the best DLC!
Wouldn't mind seeing it flipped with "The Best Courier". How does he act with absolute power I wonder.
at the end of the "grand finale" he said he was going to do old world blues as lv 1 naked useless steve.

i really like how theyve handled the story so far, its close to original but its got new and changed bits.
I can't believe this is really happening! I can't wait for this to come out on PC.
Hey Jon, just a heads up if you press L2/R2 you can give commands to your party members without switching to them. Hopefully this'll make this already smooth battle system even smoother for you. I'd absolutely love a series of this by the way!
I never realised when I was kid playing this that Ether is a actual drug. Fear and Loathing style. :P
We were somewhere near the Golden Saucer, out in the middle of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...
Please make this a complete playthrough here on TH-cam! PLEASE!
Never played in these as a youngster, are they highly reccomemded ?
The original is. This "remake" (which isn't a remake at all) is trash.
Dont listen to that negativity they haven't even played it. Wait and watch more gameplay and then you choose.
I’ve nearly completed it. It’s not trash but it’s not a remake. Play the original first then play this. Trust me it’ll make sense
@@tananari47 why do you think it's trash? Did you get it early or just a snap judgement? From what I've seen in the video it looks really good!
@@jet100a Oh, it's pretty enough, and the gameplay's not terrible (though it's pretty much a less good imitation of what everyone's doing these days... I miss the days when Final Fantasy was innovative...)

Wow seems like the presentation has improved massively
VIDEO SERIES!!! WE DEMAND IT!!! :D
Played the first good bit of the game so now can actually watch it.

Yeah, I don't even understand them having him mention it, but oh well.
I'd somehow forgotten how weird the dialogue in Final Fantasy games is.
some words and concepts in Japaneese have no English equivalent. which is why some lines either make no sense or are completely different when spoken in japaneese.
A good translator can make things sound natural in a second language, even if it does miss some of the original connotations. Conversations that don't make any sense just mean the translation is sloppy.
Full Playthrough???
Last time I was this early No Kill was still ongoing
how can you obey embargo when there isn't one?
Seriously. From that description (no nda) deleting channels is extremely nasty. I guess i sit this one out.
How many times has Jon played FF7 now?
"Are you safe from the hammer of Doom? .. no" but short story, yes.
I still can't decide if I like the new plot elements. Not that it ruins the game or anything as I'll always have my original on the PS1 and the very fond memories.

i loved the magic system in this. It was awesome. Seems pretty unchanged :)
What? Jon misty got her bike at the end of the johto arc when she had to go back to being the gym leader.
Ugh this looks *so good*.
I wish I had the hardware to play this now, not wait a whole year....
The flower aerith gives Cloud is just his hairdo
Is that Johnny voiced by Yuri Lowenthal I hear?
Hey Jon,
Would you consider playing Convoy?
Basically an FTL-y post-apocalyptic-y game that would be alot of fun to watch you play. Give tabby scritches for me!
Honestly, I'd like to see a whole Hashtag Ad series of videos.
He knows that you can do more than hold the attack button down, right?
Unbelievable, Jon, 3 minutes into the video and already, by using the FUKKEN ATB BAR you are superior to literally every single one of those gameplay youtubers that I watched so far.
EDIT: Holy shiz, Jon, you're almost nailing the controls on this game. Have you been practicing? :D
My goodness did they ever nail the Tifa update. SHEESH
Please continue this in a video series! I find it really annoying trying to focus on the narrative of a game like this with donations and chat interaction going on.
Is the game like a telltale game or an actual remake of the original game with all the features & choices the original game have?
I'd love a series

Curse you John.... I'll be back in a few days to watch.

good video.
you should start an elder scrolls online series it's gotten a lot better since launch on consol at least

Why is the video not showing.!?
Only thing I have installed to block content.. is my add blocker ;)
So unrealistic. No way does Tifa have to pay any guy for anything.l
For real, she'd be comp'd all over Midgar! :D Both for her looks and her combat ability.
Nobody bats an eye at Cloud just strolling down the street with a giant sword on his back?
dudes walking around with swords on their back is a surprisingly common sight in midgar.

Hi jon
Series rather than stream!
i came when i see the menu ui
I thought they insisted that you don't upload/make content from this until release?
I think this video will get taken down before long

MrGhosta5 the gameplay is better than the original. It’s the best final fantasy gameplay by far. The story not so much
That's called a remaster not a remake, which there is a FF7 remaster.
I adore it graphically. But honestly, I'd have preferred the old battle system in its truest sense. Then it'd be perfect in my opinion.
