Psssh, how bout 19 years? The 19 years we spent since the Final Fantasy 7 Technical Demo for PS3 was shown at E3 2005!! Imagine our surprise when we saw that, and imagine our continued disappointment as the years dwindled by with no word that Square would ever actually do it. The mad lads did, boys. The mad lads did it, eventually!
There's just something about Max's passion for FF7 that is just so infectious. Legitimately my favorite FF7 creator. I can't wait to see what this new era of Rebirth brings us
Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the game that made me get to know Max and follow his streams on twitch and watch videos on TH-cam. Thank you Max for this wonderful journey! I had so much fun everyday and I am happy to still continue it today with the second part of this game and in future expansions and games Max will play!!❤❤❤
I found him when I was watching reactions to the original remake announcement. Ever since then I always go to Max for the emotional aspect of his ff7 content and blitzz for the technical aspect of his content… between those two you have all your bases covered.
@HomeDefender30 Same here! He made me love this game even more! He is such a full hearted guy! Truly a great guy and he deserves to be so followed and be so popular! He is just a good soul and I love his truthful and honest reactions🥰
Absolute same. I first learned of max when he was on the easy allies spoiler cast and this whole thing has been made infinitely better as a result. Max is the perfect representation of how I feel about this game and expresses it as well as I wish I could. What a treasure
I was already a dad when ReMake released but seeing Max become a father and then seeing him get emotional during the hard hitting moments during his recent replay, it really brought it all home because I knew what he was experiencing and I knew those emotions of his were genuine.
Max’s excitement and joy is so infectious. It’s been a long journey to Rebirth and he’s been there with us every step of the way. So excited for this game, and THANK YOU MAX for sharing your own excitement and joy with all of us!!
I started this journey with Max like 3 weeks ago, because im new to his content in general. ive watched every single theory video or tangent he made about Remake and Rebirth and im happy to be here to watch him play Rebirth His joyfulness really captivated me Thank you for making me love Final Fantasy even more, Max!
I'm turning 50 next month. This game is a big part of my life it got me through my darkest times. I just love this game and I'm just starting to play it rebirth. Thanks for this Max you're awesome.
i think the developer knew Max already since he met them already. So maybe during his podcast where he mentioned the next game name, rebirth, they probably watched Max video and took it that time.
0:50 this moment just brings me back. I had forgotten the feeling of playing Remake for the first time. Realizing you're there in the slums again. The music hitting you and the visuals. Like being home again. And just the general excitement that you we're going to be on this journey once again. This was just the start. I remember discovering your FF7R theory crafting videos and podcast discussions with other content creators. It was super fun listening in on that speculation that 2020 summer. After that things kind of dissipated, atleast for me. But I always remembered Max for his excitement of the remake project. Later on when rumors swelled about FF7 Rebirths reveals in 2022 and 2023 I returned and started to follow the channel. It's been truly great to share in the passion and excitement. And I'm glad there's atleast a couple years left of excitement and anticipation for what could be revolving FF7 and this channel. Here's to many more fun times in the coming years!
None of my friends were really ever in to final fantasy as a kid. A few were, mildly, but they didn't get excited about it like I did. As an adult, seeing the reveal of the remake i was taken back to that same level of excitement, but never really had anyone to share it with. It sort of put a damper on it for me. I didn't know of you back then. But I do now, and I know I don't actually know you, but, your untethered enthusiasm makes it feel like I have someone to share the excitement with. Thank you for that. I don't know if you ever think of the effect your content might have on people, but, I thought you should know.
I may not be watching live as you play the game, because of course I want to experience this as fresh as possible on my own, but it has been so fun getting excited and watching your reactions/insight into what this game might be. I cannot wait, dude. We are so goddamn close
Happy to have been apart of this journey. Favorite game of all time. Used to draw pictures of cloud and Barrett in 4th grade. Now I’m 34. Been a long time coming.
I'm 35 bro, this is the only game I am always attached to, I can't describe it to others my feelings for this game. I'm scared for when the 3rd installment is announced as that will be the beginning of the end, no more hopes no more dreams no more waiting as that's it's FF7 has ended 😢
@@Nadeem146 I’m with ya buddy. I stopped gaming back in 2013 and then when the announcement came in 2015 I picked it up again for the sole reason of playing this game. Brought me back into this world and I’m happy it did, gaming has evolved so much since the 90s and I’m glad I’m here for it
I gotta say Max. Even though you're mostly a fighting game channel, your passion for FF7 as far as I've seen is unrivaled here on TH-cam. Your reactions and theories to Remake as it was coming out convinced me to buy the game and I absolutely loved it! I don't have a PS5 yet so I have been eagerly awaiting your playthrough of Rebirth so I can follow the hype as it's happening. Keep doing what you're doing, bro! Can't wait to see how it all plays out this time. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!
I see you as the greatest advocate for final fantasy 7.. there is so much love and reverence in your voice when you talk about it .. You reflect my feelings about this perfectly . Thank you mr dude !
Man, I found this channel through the Cloud Smash Reveal way back when. As a consequence I was dragged into a rabbit hole of this game’s world and Characters. I can’t say I regret it tbh, a complaint will not be heard from me. So… Thank You, Max. It’s been a great ride so far, and I can’t wait for it to continue.
This is for all of our fallen ff7 fans that are no longer with us, including my big brother. I’ll be playing in his honor ❤ this game means everything to me!
Max, you'll never read this but from street fighter to tekken to final fantasy. You inspire me to be greater and to fight for what I want. Your story, your passion resonates within like an infection. Seeing you cry about how you told your wife about the story of FF7 and thinking..GOD IM A NERD and then sticking with it and seeing all your fantadies come true is so amazing to see. From going to the gym to be a better father for Ripley to the friendship you have with yovideogames you are genuinley the most loving creator on this platform and on twitch. You deserve the world and I hope us and the greatest twitch chat to ever exist has given you that because you are a Dood. From the assist me to the future, thankyou and shine on BROTHERRRRRRRR!
I'm very happy that my first experience with this remake trilogy has been with you Max, your enthusiasm and love for this series is just so infectious. While 7 has never been my favorite Final Fantasy title (that's a tie between 9 and 10), This game and its cast now holds a special place in my heart and it's because of you. Thank You.
Max, I have to thank you again. You made me fall in love with this series. Even though I had never played it before. And it was strange to me because I had never had that happen before with just someone's words. I will be going dark tonight to then go looking in every inch of this world. And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.
Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a TH-camr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.
I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!
You're the only guy I know who's ever been on the same wave length as me with FF VII and Remake, the things you love about it, the same exact reactions to reveals or moments in a first playthrough, I'm really grateful for that since I've always felt a lil alone in how I liked the game, it's really cool to see someone else feel nearly the exact same kinda emotions and passion I do for this stuff.
It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on. In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together. I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then. Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.
Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁
I’m so happy that 3-4 years ago I decided to watch your playthroughs of the Remake. You made me one of the biggest FF7 fans and I’m glad for it. Off to the continuation of the Unknown Journey 🤗
Your passion for FF7 is amazing, dood. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but I will definitely be watching the TH-cam VODs. I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.
I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.
Preloaded and ready to go in a little under 7 hours! Will be catching up on your streams once I get a bit ahead :) Been watching you since that very first reveal 9 years ago
I know this no longer matters, but it's because they released at different times. Like Australians got access nearly 12 hours before the rest of us@@brentabel5094
I'm so hyped that it's finally here my friend!!! Following you on this 9 year journey has been an amazing experience and I really appreciate letting us come along for the ride. I can still feel the emotions from playing FF7 in 1997 as a sophomore in college. I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here. SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled
I’d binge watched a lot of Max’s old FF7 stuff, so this felt recent to me and it’s crazy to see how spaced out they actually were, and the excitement building up over time!
ITS SO CLOSE!!!!! 2022 I found Remake through Max and bought the OG and played. Legendary franchise and the Rebirth hype has been so real. Can’t wait for the streams to start! Will try to catch this on twitch to join the group! I seriously can’t believe it’s finally here!
To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it. And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther. Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.
I love your FF7 content Max. You are a fantastic content creator and I'm so thankful for having you in the community of the game I love most of everything! ❤️
It’s been a journey Max. And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time. Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG. Thank you for being you. I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others. It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives. Everyone should at least give it a chance. It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything. *Keeping you Max, never change.*
I'ts amazing to see someone react and feel about a game in such a sincere way as I do when it comes to FF7. I get goosebumps when watching your reactions to what is my favourite game. Thanks Max
I was part of this journey, watching every single ff7R streams during lockdown.. It was such a joy and I've been rewatching them since. Now I'm fully hyped and ready 4 years later for this second part of the adventure. I don't even have a ps5 nor did I played FF7 and the remake, I just enjoy the passion of watching it through the eyes and experience of Max.
Been on this long journey since I played the game on my playstation 1 as a kid. Ty max for loving this game as much as us and being as excited and bringing us along on this ride and journey. Can't wait to see where this train will take us.
Oh Max, that was absolutely beautiful. Very well done! We love you, and this is a great time for all of us to celebrate together like it's a childhood Christmas.
Watching you experience this game was probably the best content I have ever witnessed. Your reactions and love for this series shines so bright and I can't help but smile and cheer alongside you. I cannot wait to watch the next two games from your perspective.
Your final fantasy 7 content is honestly so good i cant help but smile when watching every video and stream of it from you, the pure joy and excitement is so lovely to see. thank you max for sharing you love for this game with all of us!
I love your channel for your passion of some of my favorite games. Thank for being genuine and always being so welcoming with your content. We love you Max and cannot wait to see Rebirth videos
During the height of Covid, I found your FFVII remake videos, and have watched all of this content. I remember loving the game in the past, and then it faded as I went on to other things, and stopped playing games regularly. I remember the disappointment that it wasn't on PS3, and then when I heard about it, I was all in. I have loved playing it, and since then, FFVII R and FVII have come to the top as my favorite games. You're playthroughs have been wonderful to go through. I look forward to everyone you do. Thanks for everything you have done over the years. Cant wait to play the game tonight.
What a journey! The greatest thing about it is the intensitiy and the amount of different emotions Max has gone through and being able to understand and feel them too. I remember when I first played Remake, taking my time with it, sometimes I would stop playing and just looking at the screen listening to the it's soundtrack and feelling like I was in a dream. What a great feeling.
Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.
And what a journey it was. I gotta say remake 7 was a triumphant experience start to finish. One of the best ive ever played. Filled with love and passion throughout. You genuinely can feel the love here in this game its truly heart warming 👍.
Here with you Max, will be grabbing my copy tomorrow and so looking forward to joining you on this journey and thankful to have a content creator like you spread the joy of final fantasy 7.
I missed FF7 at release without a PS1. Max’s unrelenting hype and enthusiasm for FF7 has made me give it a try and I am now obsessed with it too. Thank you 🙏🏾 👊🏾
This remake project has brought me so much joy over the years. Even now, it continues to give and give and give. I found Max and his channel through it. Rebirth alone qualifies for the word, but the entire experience of all of this combined has been nothing short of magical. What they are doing with this game is beyond words. After having my own freak out moments during the game, my first thought is always, "I gotta see how Max reacts to that scene." 😅
Your theory videos and roundtables were what got me into your channel. I would always come back after new reveals to recontextualize your theories. Now I’m an avid viewer and a new fighting game fan. I can thank you for all that. Thank you Max for all your hard work and love for gaming!
I cant wait to play this game. And to wach your playthrough as soon as I've finished the story. I found your channel through your reaction to the announcment of FF7 Remake and since than you are the first one to check for anything FF7 related. I love your energy and enjoy sharing the love for FF7 with someone, even if its just through your videos or streams. I wish you a lot of fun with your first playthrough in just a few hours. And everyone else as well who awaited this for so long!
Awesome video. Great highs and lows. These kinds of community journeys don't happen that often, and it's really affirming to see one like this and know that there's a shared feeling even if it's with strangers. Thank you for being a focal point.
I can't thank you enough for streaming/uploading your gameplays on youtube, as someone who doesn't have a PS5 and probably won't have one on the near future! I became a FF7 fan because of your chanel and your excitement for this game made ME fall in love with it. I'm so excited to experience Rebirth!!!
Max alone made me a Final Fantasy fan and of the RPG genre. That video of his journey to FF7 Remake is where it all started for me, and now I'm happy to have been a part of it!
I can't wait to watch your playthrough, and I am grateful you are putting them up on TH-cam for me to enjoy. I will definitely be watching these, but only after I have played the portion that you have. I share your passion for this game and want to experience it for myself first. Then there is nothing better than reliving it through your gameplay and reaction! Good times are among us!
I love you and your stream/content Max! I'm proud to say I've been a part of your community for the past 5 years or so now. While I will most likely wait to watch your playthrough after I've experienced the game for myself I hope that you and everyone have an amazing time together and that the game is all you've dreamed of and more ❤
I remember first discovering you 4 years ago. I had just finished up the remake and tuned in to watching you play the ending. I've been a fan since then and its been incredible to watch you and your FF7 journey especially to someone like myself who felt so passionate about this series and what's to come. Cannot wait for tomorrow.
Found you through FF7R stayed with you bc the fighting game content fell in love with yo video games thank man you make content fun watching you feels like me n the crew and the way we game you are actually a dood and I'm here for it can't wait to play Rebirth then jump to a vid to see how you engage
Max, man, I love this game so much, I feel incredible excitement at the prospect of experiencing what's next. I just finished Rebirth and about to start my second playthrough, and was looking around at some videos and found your channel. I don't know anyone personally who loves this game as much as I do... But you're just like me, you can't contain your excitement for what, to me, is the most important trilogy ever. I'm so glad to see you're just as enthusiastic (if not more!) than I am. Glad to know I'm not alone in this.
Your "Road to Remake" video makes me emotional every time I watch it. Can't wait to rewatch this video once we're all excited for the release of part 3. When I watched your playthrough of Remake, I was new to the series. I'll be playing through this game before I jump into your playthrough this time, but thank you for being the biggest reason why ff7 is my favorite game of all time.
I’ve been following your Final Fantasy VII journey since it started. My niece and I have had our own journey. I have been sending her a countdown everyday, for 166 days, 7 hours, 4 minutes, and 49 seconds. I can’t wait to watch you play. You embody everything it means to love this world and characters and have seen all your TH-cam videos covering the game. They’ve made the wait a thousand times more bearable.
I'm here since the beginning, and like many of you, i will be here til the end. I cannot believe we are experience. And going through all of this with max is such a treat.
Close to four years later...the Unknown Journey continues tonight.
Reading this got me hyped af
amazon is trolling eu players fr mf says its gonna come tomorrow 8PM!!!

Tonight?
Not until tomorrow morning for me 😓
Let's take a moment to remember all the FF7 fans around the world who have passed away before getting the chance to play this ❤
I was almost one of them back in 22. Glad I lived but so many brothers and sisters didn't. We gotta enjoy this game even harder for those we lost.
Well said on all accounts. 🔥
Rest in peace we'll see them one day in the lifestream
That’s actually a very kind sentiment that I didn’t expect someone to make.

man this journey has been insane, i can’t wait for tonight
The unknow journey continues tomorrow (or today if you plan the streamers)!

Enjoy it!@@whenyounutinhermouthandshe
Same can’t wait!! 🤗
I'll be missing it, going dark myself of course but I'll be cheering from the background.
One of the most charming things about Maxs FF7 content, is that he doesn't do it like a game news guy, he is literally just a megafan!
Yeah!!
These last 4 years and before that have been everything 🙏🏾
Can’t wait to watch your playthrough as well man!

The fact max nails every prediction is crazy to me. Which makes me have the theory that creators of FF7 watch maxs theories and ideas and uses them.
“Give the fans what they want”
i think the developer knew Max already since he met them already. So maybe during his podcast where he mentioned the next game name, rebirth, they probably watched Max video and took it that time.

Max, I have to thank you again. You made me fall in love with this series. Even though I had never played it before. And it was strange to me because I had never had that happen before with just someone's words. I will be going dark tonight to then go looking in every inch of this world. And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.
4:22 Roche and Max saying "Come On" at the same time always gets me
Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a TH-camr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.
I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!
You're the only guy I know who's ever been on the same wave length as me with FF VII and Remake, the things you love about it, the same exact reactions to reveals or moments in a first playthrough, I'm really grateful for that since I've always felt a lil alone in how I liked the game, it's really cool to see someone else feel nearly the exact same kinda emotions and passion I do for this stuff.
It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good stuff brotha - watching your FF7 Remake experience was THE reason I started my own content creation journey. Thank you for being You, MAX!
max being happy makes me happy!
Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on.
In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together.
I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then.
Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.
Shine on my friend and remember that you are not alone!
Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁
get that money! enjoy your 1st session when you get back
@@StillWeRide Absolutely!! Thanks and same to you!! 💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
I’m so happy that 3-4 years ago I decided to watch your playthroughs of the Remake. You made me one of the biggest FF7 fans and I’m glad for it. Off to the continuation of the Unknown Journey 🤗
Your passion for FF7 is amazing, dood. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but I will definitely be watching the TH-cam VODs.
I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.
I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.
Since 23.12.97 i have loved final fantasy 7
And fawned over it ever since, and tomorrow I'll be there too ❤
Preloaded and ready to go in a little under 7 hours! Will be catching up on your streams once I get a bit ahead :) Been watching you since that very first reveal 9 years ago
I don't get how you can play in 7 hrs. I live on the West Coast and mine. I can't play till 9 pm, which is 11 hrs.
my deluxe didnt show up because bestbuy wont ship until release...fuck that i bought a digital copy for midnight😂😂😂😂
@@brentabel5094time zones
I know this no longer matters, but it's because they released at different times. Like Australians got access nearly 12 hours before the rest of us@@brentabel5094
4:06 how did he predict this? 😂
the devs watched that interview and were like
I'm so hyped that it's finally here my friend!!! Following you on this 9 year journey has been an amazing experience and I really appreciate letting us come along for the ride. I can still feel the emotions from playing FF7 in 1997 as a sophomore in college. I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here.
SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im crying dude, i love your passion for this game Max. This is my chilldhood! So ready to watch you play this game.
I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled
Well that definitely would explain some stuff
Who were the other people invited?
I’d binge watched a lot of Max’s old FF7 stuff, so this felt recent to me and it’s crazy to see how spaced out they actually were, and the excitement building up over time!
ITS SO CLOSE!!!!!
2022 I found Remake through Max and bought the OG and played. Legendary franchise and the Rebirth hype has been so real. Can’t wait for the streams to start!
Will try to catch this on twitch to join the group! I seriously can’t believe it’s finally here!
There are absolutely no videos that bring me more joy than watching Max hype over anything Ff7
To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it.
And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther.
Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.
I love your FF7 content Max. You are a fantastic content creator and I'm so thankful for having you in the community of the game I love most of everything! ❤️
It’s been a journey Max.
And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time.
Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG.
Thank you for being you.
I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others.
It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives.
Everyone should at least give it a chance.
It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything.
*Keeping you Max, never change.*
I'ts amazing to see someone react and feel about a game in such a sincere way as I do when it comes to FF7.
I get goosebumps when watching your reactions to what is my favourite game.
Thanks Max
I was part of this journey, watching every single ff7R streams during lockdown.. It was such a joy and I've been rewatching them since.
Now I'm fully hyped and ready 4 years later for this second part of the adventure.
I don't even have a ps5 nor did I played FF7 and the remake, I just enjoy the passion of watching it through the eyes and experience of Max.
Max's happiness is so contagious man I cant wipe the smile off my face seeing this dude geek out.
Max’s excitement for this has me excited to play the game more. Gonna be dope. The unknown journey comes 💯
Its been a long journey…. Although it isn’t over yet, we are SO ready for what is about to come
Been on this long journey since I played the game on my playstation 1 as a kid. Ty max for loving this game as much as us and being as excited and bringing us along on this ride and journey. Can't wait to see where this train will take us.
I will never tire of Max's just LOVE and reaction to this series.
I love you guys please enjoy your journey! Getting a ps5 tonight just to play this!! So excited.
Oh Max, that was absolutely beautiful. Very well done! We love you, and this is a great time for all of us to celebrate together like it's a childhood Christmas.
somebody who love this game as much as I do, I can't help but cry experiencing this journey with you and all of our brothers and sisters
Watching you experience this game was probably the best content I have ever witnessed. Your reactions and love for this series shines so bright and I can't help but smile and cheer alongside you. I cannot wait to watch the next two games from your perspective.
I know each of these videos by heart, what a journey
I can't wait for the next years of excitement and hype around FF7 with y'all
Your final fantasy 7 content is honestly so good i cant help but smile when watching every video and stream of it from you, the pure joy and excitement is so lovely to see. thank you max for sharing you love for this game with all of us!
I will meet this game, like last time, with you, Max. Thank you
I love your channel for your passion of some of my favorite games. Thank for being genuine and always being so welcoming with your content. We love you Max and cannot wait to see Rebirth videos
I have rewatched all thos . Playthroughs and interviews snd theories. Your passion for it got me into this ff and it's beautiful
During the height of Covid, I found your FFVII remake videos, and have watched all of this content. I remember loving the game in the past, and then it faded as I went on to other things, and stopped playing games regularly. I remember the disappointment that it wasn't on PS3, and then when I heard about it, I was all in. I have loved playing it, and since then, FFVII R and FVII have come to the top as my favorite games. You're playthroughs have been wonderful to go through. I look forward to everyone you do. Thanks for everything you have done over the years. Cant wait to play the game tonight.
What a journey! The greatest thing about it is the intensitiy and the amount of different emotions Max has gone through and being able to understand and feel them too. I remember when I first played Remake, taking my time with it, sometimes I would stop playing and just looking at the screen listening to the it's soundtrack and feelling like I was in a dream. What a great feeling.
Thank you max!! Loved this game when I was younger, I literally shed a tear playing tifas theme in the rebirth demo, Shine on Dood and enjoy
Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.
And what a journey it was. I gotta say remake 7 was a triumphant experience start to finish. One of the best ive ever played. Filled with love and passion throughout. You genuinely can feel the love here in this game its truly heart warming 👍.
Here with you Max, will be grabbing my copy tomorrow and so looking forward to joining you on this journey and thankful to have a content creator like you spread the joy of final fantasy 7.
Didn’t expect to get another one of these but I love it! Always love retrospectives, documentaries, etc. Thanks for this one Max! Shine on!
Getting so close now. Been watching for so many years and can't believe we're at part 2 now. What a journey we've all been on so far.
Im rewatching old VODs of the original FF7 playthrough and it is amazing to see where we are now
The road to rebirth has been incredible, can’t wait until 4 years from now when we can finally see the end of this wonderful trilogy.
3 years
I missed FF7 at release without a PS1. Max’s unrelenting hype and enthusiasm for FF7 has made me give it a try and I am now obsessed with it too. Thank you 🙏🏾 👊🏾
1:01 i remember graduating college and playing FF7R when it came out. So much is different now. So excited to join Max and y'all on this journey!!!
This remake project has brought me so much joy over the years. Even now, it continues to give and give and give. I found Max and his channel through it. Rebirth alone qualifies for the word, but the entire experience of all of this combined has been nothing short of magical. What they are doing with this game is beyond words.
After having my own freak out moments during the game, my first thought is always, "I gotta see how Max reacts to that scene." 😅
Your theory videos and roundtables were what got me into your channel. I would always come back after new reveals to recontextualize your theories. Now I’m an avid viewer and a new fighting game fan. I can thank you for all that. Thank you Max for all your hard work and love for gaming!
I cant wait to play this game. And to wach your playthrough as soon as I've finished the story. I found your channel through your reaction to the announcment of FF7 Remake and since than you are the first one to check for anything FF7 related. I love your energy and enjoy sharing the love for FF7 with someone, even if its just through your videos or streams.
I wish you a lot of fun with your first playthrough in just a few hours. And everyone else as well who awaited this for so long!
It's always such a joy to see these videos and your excitement about FFVII! Happy for you Max
Awesome video. Great highs and lows. These kinds of community journeys don't happen that often, and it's really affirming to see one like this and know that there's a shared feeling even if it's with strangers. Thank you for being a focal point.
I can't thank you enough for streaming/uploading your gameplays on youtube, as someone who doesn't have a PS5 and probably won't have one on the near future! I became a FF7 fan because of your chanel and your excitement for this game made ME fall in love with it. I'm so excited to experience Rebirth!!!
Amazing!
I've been watching you because of Ff7 and it's been really fun going in this journey with you and the fam.
Thank you!
Max alone made me a Final Fantasy fan and of the RPG genre. That video of his journey to FF7 Remake is where it all started for me, and now I'm happy to have been a part of it!
I can't wait to watch your playthrough, and I am grateful you are putting them up on TH-cam for me to enjoy. I will definitely be watching these, but only after I have played the portion that you have. I share your passion for this game and want to experience it for myself first. Then there is nothing better than reliving it through your gameplay and reaction! Good times are among us!
I love you and your stream/content Max! I'm proud to say I've been a part of your community for the past 5 years or so now. While I will most likely wait to watch your playthrough after I've experienced the game for myself I hope that you and everyone have an amazing time together and that the game is all you've dreamed of and more ❤
I remember first discovering you 4 years ago. I had just finished up the remake and tuned in to watching you play the ending. I've been a fan since then and its been incredible to watch you and your FF7 journey especially to someone like myself who felt so passionate about this series and what's to come. Cannot wait for tomorrow.
Found you through FF7R stayed with you bc the fighting game content fell in love with yo video games thank man you make content fun watching you feels like me n the crew and the way we game you are actually a dood and I'm here for it can't wait to play Rebirth then jump to a vid to see how you engage
This video is the actual illustration of the word HYPE! I can't wait to be part of this journey following you Max! Thanks for all you do!!!
Max, man, I love this game so much, I feel incredible excitement at the prospect of experiencing what's next. I just finished Rebirth and about to start my second playthrough, and was looking around at some videos and found your channel. I don't know anyone personally who loves this game as much as I do... But you're just like me, you can't contain your excitement for what, to me, is the most important trilogy ever. I'm so glad to see you're just as enthusiastic (if not more!) than I am. Glad to know I'm not alone in this.
Your "Road to Remake" video makes me emotional every time I watch it. Can't wait to rewatch this video once we're all excited for the release of part 3.
When I watched your playthrough of Remake, I was new to the series. I'll be playing through this game before I jump into your playthrough this time, but thank you for being the biggest reason why ff7 is my favorite game of all time.
I’ve been following your Final Fantasy VII journey since it started. My niece and I have had our own journey. I have been sending her a countdown everyday, for 166 days, 7 hours, 4 minutes, and 49 seconds.
I can’t wait to watch you play. You embody everything it means to love this world and characters and have seen all your TH-cam videos covering the game. They’ve made the wait a thousand times more bearable.
I'm here since the beginning, and like many of you, i will be here til the end. I cannot believe we are experience. And going through all of this with max is such a treat.
