Not gonna lie, Carl Sagan's speech with FF7's Main Theme got me real emotional.
I was genuinely waiting for that whole impassioned speech portion to suddenly turn into "And now in the remake it's about time ghosts lol."
Same, I'm Rekt!
Plus the footage of certain events from the OG FF7... oh boy, it's a good combo.
IIRC, Cid said something similar after he got to space.
"I always thought this planet was so huge. But lookin' at it from space, I realized it's so small. We're just floatin' in the dark. ......kinda makes you feel powerless. That's why I say this planet's still a kid. A little kid sick and trembling in the middle of this huge universe. Someone's gotta protect it. Ya follow me? That someone is us."
Wow it really fits well with the themes of the game.
I suggest that you pay ProZD a lifetime supply of sea basses, bass guy.
Surprise ProZD killed me XD
nah not sea bass. Pay him with C+
It surprised the shit out of me and I lost it
God the scene still hurts me to this day. I remember playing FF7 when I was younger, I got warned about what was coming. My mum had friends over that night, I get to the part where Aerith gets "cancelled"... It completely broke me. My mum's like "I don't think you should play this anymore" and I said "No, I have to KILL Sephiroth."
We all have our stories of that moment. I randomly started crying at school whenever I remembered and the teachers almost called my folks because of it, lol.
Just think decades or centuries from now, instead of kids haveing to read books of great works they will have to play FF7 for school and write a report on how it changed the world
You ended it, right?
@@TerryAVanguard Yeah no. People still read Shakespeare because mass culture didn't exist back in 1500s. There was only one defining status quo of cultural style at a certain time and Baroque in 1600s was the last of them that united Europe. After the French Revolution, Industrialization and mass producement of media products, our culture has become diverse and shattered.
To give you an example on how "empty" 90% of people in Europe were, the average Brit in 1500s knew 300 words... You don't think about much of anything with those words, not your economical status, not political ideaologies or your potential as a human being. The cultural consensus was defined by the rich and literate 20% who were very conformist against one another. This massive change to today's 99% literacy in the West has happened so fast through education and industrialization, we don't even realize how "special" art was before the 1800s and how it defined entire socioeconomic systems, monarchies and historical events.
That's why people will hear of Shakespeare in 2200s alongside the future pioneers in IT and coding and their text books will have a mention of gaming as a subculture with Minecraft being mentioned. Sadly, that is the truth. On the other hand, you can be happy to know that you lived at the same time as FF7 existed in humanity's cultural memory.
My first reaction to when Cloud was fighting Jenova/Sephiroth’s control was like, “wtf? Oh shit. NO NO NO NO NO!” Then Sephiroth kills Aerith, and I’m stunned silent. It hits me when I see polygon Tifa runs away crying, and I’m still in stunned when she’s laid to rest.
But it wrecked me even more when Tifa stayed with Cloud, and repaired his psyche in the Lifestream.
My wife and I were watching this together. For years she never truly understood why I love the original FF7 so much. And I could never find the right words the articulate that love. But 1:15 into this review I started to tear up and I think she finally understood what the game offered me when I was young and going through tough times. And for that, I can never thank you both enough. Now because of you both she wants to play it and see the game through her eyes. Please keep up the amazing work!
The exact same thing happened with me!!! Only difference was my moment was at 3:51
I’m actually super happy for you. I hope she loves it.
Oh wow, I managed to go through the whole review without a tear, and reading your comment acted like someone cutting onions to my face. Good job I guess!
Me too, Simon. Me too.
I cringed
I died at the edit of Barrett "This ain't for kids!" after Aerith death lmaoooo
"Aerith getting cancelled by a Samurai sword" 😂😂😂
stuff like that is why he's low key my favorite character in the remake
Well that feels unfinished... Oh sorta like the game!? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 holy sh
it's one of my favourite pieces of media too
is your boyfriend single
Indeimaus and look who stopped by
Super Final Fantasy 7 when?
What the hell are you doing asking if he's single?
Pro FF7 when, Civvie?
Oh no he found a new waifu
Shelby: gives a deep, profound, heartfelt monologue about the emotional impact of ff7.
Also shelby(10 seconds later): "check out these BAZONGAS!!!"
man tears were shed...
Who designed that character? Probably a man 🤔
@@Mutio86 Your point?
@@theatomiclemon1 Guess you haven't seen the Simpsons episode "Marge Gamer" - watch it it's great :)
Shelby needs to see what Tifa looked like back in the PS1 days.
“Ladies, open your eyes, this man is a ho!”
The most accurate statement of Cloud Strife throughout the remake.
Idk if ho is really accurate since he thot patrols the shit out of Jessie by shooting down every one of her advances and is really reserved around Aerith with the extent of their relationship being witty banter and a close sense of friendship. Only person he openly flirts with is Tifa.
He’s not a ho, he’s just a 21 year old with a mind of a 16 year old.
Oh no he flirts with Aerith quite a bit too if only because she makes it impossible not to.
Final fantasy main character is always a player. Like noctis smashes luna, cindy, iris, aranea, and gentiana
@@holitinne Yeah....Hey but so is Tifa just less noticeable. 2 adult children and a environmentalist as our hero's.
Aerith, Tifa, Chadley, Red XIII, Jessie: "Cloud, date me!"
The only thing in Cloud's mind: "huh, Sephiroth and his long sword"
At least Sephiroth never starts by slowly raising his sword.
Excuse me, Red 13 ain't no froot
Can't blame Cloud. He doesn't even know it but its the Jenova cells making him want to reunited with Sephiroth.
Ha lol
More like:"Huh? Sephiroth.....LET'S HAVE A DANCE OFF!!!"
"22 years later still upset by the death of his video game girlfriend" hilarious, but sadly I 100% emphasize
I think you mean empathize? Otherwise, I'm not sure where you're going there
Mine was Rose from The Legend of Dragoon instead. About the same time frame.
Rein Very underrated game
I remember wanting to burst out in tears as a 10 year old boy when Aeris died, but I had to hold them back because the room was filled with friends, but I think they were holding back tears too.
Honestly I never really felt bad as Aerith had basically no character...this time around though with how awesome she is in the remake that scene is going to hurt
6:58 Brianna White (StrangeRebel Gaming) said that was supposed to be her trying to do Don Corneo's laugh but that was the best she could do. Anyway, it was super cute.
Jesus feck you're good at this. The cut from the end of Sagan's speech to the intro screen of the remake choked me up HARD. That's... Damn. I'm real glad I found your stuff. This is incredible.
Boyfriend: *rage at cutscene*
Girlfriend: *summons raycon*
This was pure gold! :D
This is amazing!
The one time I've never been mad at an add.
Cloud mom: I bet girls be hounding you.
Cloud: Not really just mostly Sethiroth
😂😂😂😂 holy shit. Underrated comment for sure
☁️’s mom: Thats nice dear.
Seph's tall, older, successful, smart, mature, strong, responsible, and way more beautiful than any girl in Cloud's harem.
Cloud: if i want any hot girls, I will just turn myself into one.
@@ThePress00 he also has longer hair and a longer sword than all of them. :>
"Final Fantasy VII is one of my boyfriend's favorite pieces of media. Not because of how it compares to other games in his library, but how it compares to other events of his life."
your boyfriend gets me
E
He's OUR boyfriend now.
RPGs barely got published in Europe before FF7. So glad it was successful, my favourite genre.
My daughter saw this game and immediately changed her theme to ff7r. One of my proudest moments as a father
hahahaha
You have taught the new generation well my friend, be proud.
Lol at first I read "immediately changed her _name_ to ff7r" and I was like gotDANG I guess she did like it!
Theme?
"Ladies open your eyes. This man is a ho." Best quote of the year! Lol
I mean instantly giving a flower that is given to you *from a girl* as a courtesy to *another girl* is kinda a dick move, amirite?
@@XDD50Hz no it's awesome
I love her and this whole channel I seen every girlfriend review but her calling cloud a Hoe really makes think she doesn’t understand cloud as a character.
However in real life yes a Guy acting like that is a “hoe”. However a guy being a hoe = he’s a player. Which isn’t cloud at all but yea
@@lawrencelord9777 we're just joking around lol
@@GirlfriendReviews It was good. You had me litteraly laughing out loud for a solid 10 sec. when you said it.
"Aerith getting canceled" is not how I'd ever expect I would hear someone describe that event.
"that event" is not how i'd expect i would see someone describe that moment.
@@jazy921 "that moment" is not how i'd expect someone to describe that one thing that happened that one time in a certain place
@@williamwright9673 "that one thing that happened that one time in a certain place" is not how I'd expect to witness someone describing an Aerithial swordfucking.
@@trident042 "Aerithial Swordfucking" is not how I'd expect someone to depict trauma.
@@vii9779 "trauma" is not how I'd... wait, that's exactly how I would describe Aerith's death.
"What's a Fat coc hobo?" IM DEAD 😂😂😂
Fatalitie
ron jeremy
That was a great almost 4 minute long intro, I felt every second of it, 10/10 would recommend, mostly because, when you are about to cry, you get hit with boob jokes
Who thought it before?
Biggs was modeled after Hot Shot Charlie Sheen?
That Carl Sagan speech attached to FFVII footage is some seriously powerful stuff. Came here to laugh and instead teared up. Amazing how FFVII's themes have only become more relevant throughout the years.
Absolutely feel the same way. Caught me by surprise. Still, in retrospect it's interesting how games like this shaped my ideology and moral compass.
What’s powerful about believing life is ultimately meaningless?
I had the same meltdown, some definitely important stuff being said.
"Look at all those chickenth" is the most masterful deployment of memes on this channel so far. 11/10
I see your "Look at all those chickens!" and raise you "This cocksucker here.. I found him in a storm drain" 🤣
i laughed at both those memes so hard. Theyre so good at just dropping random memes into their reviews :D
"I get older... they stay the same aaage" :]]]
Simp
I just laughed hard at that, brilliant
I never knew I needed Sagans "Mote Of Dust" set to the FFVII theme in my life.
But here we are.
Epic AF
100% agreed. I was not expecting this and it hit me right in the feels.
Not gonna lie, Shelby's speech about FF7 and the voice over made me cry a little bit, FF7 taught me about loss, grief, and acceptance. God I love this game
My comment got hearted ;-; I've been noticed
@@SomethingWittyRW funny since for two whole weeks, the only person who saw your comment was the uploader (wether it was shelby or her boyfriend, who knows?).
NOT ANYMORE. liked
"I didn't particularly enjoy watching my boyfriend play with his balls for hours at a time, but I did enjoy the salt."- Girlfriend Reviews, 2020.
Iconic
this.
And this is she's a rising star
"For starters, what's a fat cock hobo?"
They both excellent. Just don't give credit to the girlfriend only. Editing is done by the boyfriend, any video can be good and funny with good editing.
Player: "I cast Limit Break!"
Game: "I cast Cutscene!"
Player: "Noooo!"
This is how I feel when I'm fighting any boss that has a 2nd stage.
*glares at Sekiro*
@@RoninRoan89 Being given a second chance to overcome death sounds super cool until you realize most of the bosses have this ability as well.
It was I, Custscene!
This just sounds like a prozd video waiting to happen.
Player: I cast heal.
Enemy: I cancel the animation.
Player: Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Can't believe you guys got Lysanderoth to voice this
Let's hope he got paid
Pffft, that was Chadicus. You can tell because his mic has a gun.
His machinations lay undetected for years.
He was sending us their regards
4:44 Out of the characters that interact with him, Cloud is actually very nice and respectful to Tifa from beginning to end. There has been a conscious removal of scenes that confuse the player about Aerith and Tifa. I’m so glad SE is stamping out the whole Love Triangle nonsense; it’s 23 years overdue.
and they never did a love triangle after FF7 og lmao, thank god they learned
Holy hell, not gonna lie - Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan always, ALWAYS brings a tear to my eye. And you pairing it with this soundtrack... well, I thank you. That was beautiful.
Yep... It is such a damn strong speech. Gets me every time
I'm weeping right now. I love both Carl Sagan and the original FF7 so them put together like that absolutely struck a chord and pulled my heartstrings.
Carl sagan voice sounds like smart kermit to me somehow.
Have a poster with the whole speech on my wall, it's so thoughtful and eye-opening!
The "look-at-all-those-chickens"-girl really got me :'D
Yes!! Me too. That was peeeerfect
That shit was adorable.
08:12 enjoy
I'm literally in tears. Unable to manage the emotions that bubbled to the surface due the beauty of your script's intro.
.... then 3:43
Now, I'm crying for different reasons.
That was a really good use of Carl Sagan. Honestly that montage makes me want to play the original.
You never did?
I wasn't expecting a cameo from Carl Sagan.
Excuse me but were did you got your profile picture? It's beautiful.
They didnt pay him either.
Where? I didn't see or hear him
Am I CarlBlind?
@@andrefilipe9042 Xenogears.
He's Wiseman from Xenogears. The only Xeno game that deserves a remake, imo. Not gonna shit on people who enjoy Xenoblade Chronicles and are excited for the remaster, but when I was a kid, I'd regularly compare Xenogears and FFVII and always thought Xenogears was the better of the two.
5:55 I just heard Matt say in a livestream how annoyed he was that no-one said anything about his Rick And Morty/Cloud animation here, and I gotta say, it's great but I didn't notice it the first time.
For reference, I believe the last game to be rated "Pure, certified, bananas" was Yakuza 0.
And that game is amazing. A certified banana means it's a must play
*a-bananas
i thought that cloud had his hand on wedge's ass during the skydiving section and i was finally happy that the only guy that deserved cloud was getting some love
We did too lol
He was just jealous that Jessie got a feel.
I cried like a 13 year old girl when I saw Aerith again in the remake.
Me at the end of Red Dead Redemption 2
Same
Cloud: GET HELP
I cried during the intro when I played the demo. I cried again during the intro when I played the full game.
soyboy lmfao
You deserve an award for that intro.
Hell yeah, Carl Sagan with some FF7 cutscenes. Hit me in the feels real hard. My favorite review video by you guys.
Oh god, the IASIP reference for when Cloud sees sephiroth in his visions is too good 😂😂😂
FriedTofu I was freakin dying
It was perfect! It's all I'll see now in replays..
“yellow flower obtained”
...
“yellow flower lost”
had to pause after Carl Sagan's speech to wipe my tears... never thought I'd have that happen in one of your videos
the transition from Carl sagan's heartfelt "pale blue dot" speech to Tifa's heart-pounding bazongas- thats the best heart-to-heart u can hope for... loved every bit of it...
That intro monologue was an absolutely beautiful, eloquent, and perfectly succinct explanation of what made FF7 such a memorable story to 11 year old me. Wonderfully written and illustrated.
All kidding aside, that intro all the way up to the title splash was masterfully crafted. The writing, the editing, the music placement, everything. Well done.
When you learn Cloud's real true backstory, his personality and demeanor make so much more sense and it was rare to give main characters this ambiguous slow burn to learning the real origins of themselves in the 90s.
i really liked the character development in some of the side quests. like when he goes from flaming that old man to helping those kids for 3 gil. that and the fact you unlock secret quests for doing all side quests kept it fresh for me. oh and the combat
That seamless and brilliant transition into the Raycon ad made me sit back, smirk, and let out a single clap of adulation.
This game is such a sweet memory. I'll never forget the trauma of seen my main healer killed off at the tender age of 10, crying my eyes out for a week because I learned main characters don't always triumph and survive, and than struggling to find the next best healer for my party who turned out to be Nanaki 😌 yes sweet memories indeed
I've probably watched this video 20 times over by now, and Carl Sagan saying "every young couple in love" as the chocobos run past Aerith and Cloud still makes me cry. I don't know why, it's just such an oddly beautiful moment.
Was 15 when Aerith (who was definitely Aeris) died. I had experienced some deaths of characters I liked in games, but Aerith was different. It wasn't that she was some silly Waifu, Aerith clearly symbolizes hope and innocence. Her death clearly symbolizes the death of those things, and for many of us it represented the deaths of our childhood.
I love that Clouds attempt at being a cool guy comes off as him really really wanting to be cool and failing at it.
Sometimes he lucks into doing something actually cool. Like when he stealth calls Tifa beautiful at the bar, but yeah he’s a huge awkward goober and I love how they portrayed that in this game.
I feel like he was always supposed to be trying way to hard to be this gruff cool guy and the iffy translation back in the day and limitations of the hardware made it a lot less obvious
And then his most confident moment: "Nailed it. I know. Thank you. Move on."
I love that one addition more than anything else.
Alakaizer Yeah all the wall market stuff was great. Seeing Cloud get thrust even further outside his comfort zone than in the original was hilarious, I died when Andrea dipped him.
That is his whole character. He is a lonely kid who wants to be Zack.
Is this the same girl that made bass guy parody of bad guy from belly eyelash
Yes it is 🙂
Welcome aboard. This channel is wonderful.
Linus, eat your heart out, Girlfriend Reviews just showed EVERY OTHER TH-camR how to properly implement a segue into an ad. 10/10 would watch again. 🙌🏻
God, I still come back to this video every once in awhile because of how well made it is, especially that beginning part. Good job guys.
videogame: has a minor annoying thing
girlfriend reviews: that's what inspired us to create this channel
There aren’t many channels or series that make me consistently laugh and giggle, but this is definitely one. Such high quality content. Genuinely funny
That segue into the Raycon ad was smooth. You're getting good at this, Shelby!
The amount of love you guys put in these videos is just amazing. Been here since the 200k and can't wait to see the new videos you guys put up.
Thank you so much. Been getting a lot of negativity today and it's nice to be appreciated for our efforts!
for a while I really thought the beginning voice was an old trailer of FF7 LMAO
Heh, yeah, I almost said, 'Too bad they did not know they were going to make the Advent Children movie, and Crisis Core animes, now this commercial is really dated.'
I never played the original so I actually thought it was a real trailer. And when ProZD showed up I was like "what does he have to do with this". Didn't recognize his voice.
So the FF7 Remake is perfect since.. I did not hear a "hold up a minute"
Perfect if you're watching. Not if you're playing.
That goddamn crane ✊
My only gripe is that it’s not the complete game. Outside of that I absolutely loved it. Not that anyone was asking hahaha.
6:05 New definition of unpolished loading: "long awkward silence"
I did not experience this once while playing it so maybe it's been fixed since they played? Idk
@@Dave_ja_vu Very possible. Games get patched post-release all the time.
@@Dave_ja_vu no, it was like 6 months before they released any kind of patch and it was a minor bug fix. what he showed was probably the most extreme example, but if you sprint towards an objective or conversation marker the game takes a couple seconds to load it. you probably either didn't sprint very much or just stopped frequently to listen to ambient dialogue or it was just never long enough for you to noticed. and i don't think it got patched because i'm 99% sure they basically reached the limit of what they could do with that engine and hardware and instead focused on the ps5 upgrade, what we got is basically as good as they're going to get it on ps4
God bless whoever edits these videos. The always Sunny bit, the bubbles line and the "look at all those chickens" all got me.
That was one of the smoothest sponsor segues I've ever seen
"Is these a hand job store?"
lmao😂😂🤣🤣
I’ve only played the remake, and the whole time I was aware on Aerith’s fate. It was heart breaking, but made my time with her that was sweeter. It’s not beautiful because it last forever.
She doesn't die yet tho
That was awesome watching you run down on the original ff7 (one of my most beloved life events) and then mixing in Carl Sagan's pale blue dot speech (my favourite speech).
So thanks, you are awesome!
This is literally my favorite TH-cam channel I get so happy when I see you guys upload:))
Best girlfriend reviews opening ever 😭❤️
And best product advertisement segue ever 😂
I really feel the need to thank you for this piece of content. The combination of seriousness and hilariousness is perfect and it really does justice to one of my favourite games of all times. You had me going from tear in the corner of my eye to literally laughing out in a matter of seconds.
3:31 actually made me tear eyed.
So the “Pro” in ProZD stands for “pro bono”
The transition to the raycons was amazing. It was so good I almost didn’t realize it was product placement. Very well done
Wow, first time seeing this channel. As a 90's kid who discovered the power of FF7 I'd have to say this a really dope video!
This was a masterpiece of a review. The Carl Sagan bit is a stroke of creative genius. And yes as a 90’s kid a lot of this resonates deep lol.
The moment that shook me the most was when Cloud went “Like I give a shit”.
And I was like, oh, okay.
My wife did not like watching me play this. I understand why she couldn’t accept anime bullshit as an answer. 😂
Naw she doesn't like you looking at tifa's rack all day man
Show her the honey bee inn scene!
Moch Iqbal Nurjaman she saw it, wasn’t impressed 😂
Abi Rizky no, Tifa’s big ole titties are looking at me. I’m just trying to be a scene kid with a big ass sword in peace.
@@DrGaslight187 Most woman actually screaming when they are shown the honey bee scene. I don't know what's wrong with your wife.
i love that you guys just run with your narration these days!! you rly don’t need a pun every minute to be entertaining!
NGL, that was a perfect segue to the ad read there at the end
You guys have one of the best channels on TH-cam! Your comedic timing and pop culture references are top notch, thank you!
That transition to the sponsor was absolutely perfect.
The limit break explanation at the end was spot on.
That ad in the end was really smooth!
ProZD is so damn good, i legitmentally thought that was the original trailer guy.
7:10 caught me way off guard I repeated that part 1000 times and literally could not breath
You had something so beautifully at the beginning then immediately ruined it with pointing out how good tifa looks lmao I love it
This was such a good review I too was so impacted by this game as a child thank you for this that's all I have to say.
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO HIT ME SO HARD IN THE FEELS WITH THAT INTRO?
that was the best advertisement transition I've ever seen. I'll buy a Raycon
Found your chanel yesterday and binge watched almost all your videos. I loved the CoD review. I just missed the review of warzone in there.
Are you gonna make a seperate video about that? Would definetely love that.
I just want to say thank you for all of these awesome reviews Girlfriend reviews. You have the most entertaining and honest reviews I've ever seen in TH-cam not to mention the best edits. Hats off. Much respect to you and more power to your channel. Subbed.
Could we get a Fire Emblem Three Houses Girlfriend Review?
I want that too but I'm scared that they're gonna make a review based on one route
FE is also NOT a fun game to watch. . .unless you know precisely what you're doing, and even then turn based grid combat has a very small appeal crowd.
True I want but I know won’t happen
you got the whole smash bros. line up, give it a rest
@@matthoelker3782 Uh. . . Except there are more Mario and Pokemon characters than Fire Emblem characters. Not sure why peopleg to so readily ignore that fact other than the meme itself. And wanting someone to review a FE has nothing to do rwith Smash, FE 3 Houses was a fairly decent game all things considered, ans ad whether Nintendo fans agree or not, the series is quite successful, of course Nintendo is going to push it.
"Where that lady come from?" LOL
You two are awesome! I would watch your Twitch Stream the day after my own game play and it was just nice to feel like I was playing this game with someone. You are both hilarious and insightful. Thanks for sharing your content and opinions! :)
Why was the intro made me emotional??? 😭 The life lessons and the nostalgia my god 🤧
No one:
90's Parents: We're talking about space magic.
The Sephiroth scene had me in tears. I couldn’t breathe!
That first 3:45 of this video might be the best thing you've made so far
The comparison from our planet, to FFVII to Carl Sagans Pale Blue Dot, you did an amazing job.... Gave me chills.....Everything combined... It hit me hard...
This game is the only reason why I became a game developer. I said myself I would get into Square enix and be part of the Remake, unfortunately life had different plants to me lol.
@BALD CAT lol he did not become a developer thats what he mean
did you become a gardener??
@@leonard9624 He says that he had become a game developer, but couldn't get into Square Enix
@@chuchuleptitrain I had to quit learning 3d for years, just came back 3 years ago, I' m not a developer but I do sculpting for 3d printing figures and still thinking to go for the game developer route.
