NOTE: FF7 lifetime sales are NOT 15M. Square-Enix, per their 2021 shareholder report, now fudges the 10M lifetime sales numbers of 1997 FF7 by including the 2020 FF7 Remake 5M sales on top of it. Not sure why they feel the need to mislead and inflate the original game's already impressive success.

I love how you included Cloud stealing Tifa's underwear :D
Orthopedic
@@mfntonberry Bet that'll be removed since she got modernized.
@@Rhyto i hope not there could be some funny dialogue or trophy's for getting them
Heh, gotta 100% the game for the full story, am I right?
I assure you, it is essential to the story
What a damn story. I still blame everything on Hojo.
Hodgy I totally agree.
I mean... Almost everything that took place in the Compilation was at
least partially his fault. That said, Shinra policies did little to impede him.
jenohva
Lol. Advent Children
I blame the lifestream. Get off your hyperbolic bum and do something once in a while you lazy light show! It coulda done something about sephiroth, shinra, hojo, or jenova at any time! yet it sit's back and says it's "healing" from one friggin piece of space debris. I've seen asteroids take more punishment and bounce back in less time! I bet if sephiroths entire goal wasn't to hurt the planet, I bet it wouldn't of even saved the day at the end of the game! It even cry's for help a few times! Useless! They should all move to a more proactive planet, cause this one does absolutely jack!
I don't think there will ever be another piece of art like FF VII. I've played games all my life. The day FFVII arrived, it was as if we had jumped forward 100 years, compared to everything that came before. I don't see how that feeling can ever be recaptured. Just watching this summary brought tears to my eyes.
+tjbanville OMG, I thought it was just me
To recapture, replay ;)
I finished revisiting this game on my vita 15years since I first played it. Loved every moment of the nostalgia.
Started on FF8 on vita to relive all the nostalgia I have from that game.
8 was my first FF and probably my favourite.
7 is a definite close 2nd though :)
theres only one more i can think of that comes close and thats xenogears, man that game was so underated with such an overwhelmingly big and great story, its till today the only game storywise to compare to ff7, althought other ff's had great stories too, somehow the 7 is by far the best one
xenogears is a great game thumps up
the good old day,s
tjbanville FF7 was incredibly special. There will never be another like it
My younger self is yelling at me like "see how in the hell was I supposed to understand this story when ur grown ass can barely keep up with it"🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤣
I feel the same way. I definitely didn't get it when I was a teenager. Xenogears is even harder to understand.
I'm really glad that you waited this long to do this game. I'm sure this has been one of, if not the most, heavily requested game you've gotten to do a RECAPitation for. However, given just how huge this game is and was to the RPG scene, and what it was as a narrative, it would be a bit much to just give in and do it. You do amazing work, and I believe that waiting as long as you did truly helped make the experience that much more enjoyable.
I'm sure that games like Dirge of Cerberus are possibly out of the question for RECAPitation, huh? I'd love to see you branch out into other RPGs that may not be as well known or remembered such as Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals, Legend of Dragoon, and heck even Mega Man X Command Mission (just to be really unique). Either way, my votes would go to Tales of Legendia and Chrono Trigger.
Keep up the great work, Mr. Mage. You rule!
+AzarFirefly Thanks for the great suggestions! It's funny, FF7 ended up longer than I normally prefer for RECAPitations, but it couldn't be helped as a lot of the false exposition had to be covered, then deconstructed, and then the true history revealed, so it ended up almost 2 plotlines worth of content.
I actually am working on Dirge of Cerberus right now, and its rather short so it won't be such a long wait for it. After that, FF6, and Type-0 are done, I'm considering Final Fantasy complete for now (Tactics and others can wait for now). Chrono Trigger is a definite Yes, Tales of Legendia was actually my first Tales game, so it has a place in my heart (the Tales series will not be overlooked), and I agree on doing some of the more overlooked RPGs, like Lufia 2, Skies of Arcadia, Grandia, Lost Odyssey, among others. Thanks for watching!
I... I did not see Dirge of Cerberus coming so soon. I would have thought after the large task of doing this, that you would have taken a break from the FF7 Mythos as a whole and move on to something else. Honestly, I'm glad that you are getting it out of the way, and moving on with other games, especially Type-0 as I've found that game to be quite enjoyable, but being part of the Fab...The Fabu Nova Crys....The 13 series thingy, I was not sure how in the world that truly could be... And then I remember that FF7 takes place 1000 years after the events of FFX as they are part of the same universe.
Tales of Legendia was my first Tales game as well, and I'm so glad to hear that it has a place in your heart. Whatever the future may hold in your decisions, I know that even newcomers will love and want to try these games out for themselves.
+AzarFirefly Wait, how is FF7 part of the FFX universe!? Are you SERIOUSLY going off the name of the kid "Shinra"? Because in that case, FF XIII is connected to MANY MANY final fantasy. (See: Palamecia, Lindblum, etc. )
No, there was a thing a good while back where Square came out and stated that both FF7 and FFX are the same universe, though (I believe it was this order) FFX is like a thousand or so years ahead of FF7.
AzarFirefly
FF X is a thousand years ahead of 7? As in Spira or Tidus's Zanarkhand?
(Note: i dont much about FF X's mythos)
Absolute proof that graphics aren't everything.
thats true, but you have to remember that back in the day, ff7s graphics where considered to be the top notch 1080p graphics that we see now.
Absolute proof that FF7 is overrated.
thats true (no it deserves the hype)) but you have to remember that back in the day ff7 was considered to be the top notch ff15 game that we see now.
jermjerm610
The story is ridiculous. Some of the character motivations are nonsensical or completely missing and the drama feels like it's written by a 15 year old going through an identity crisis. Materia system is one of the worst blandest overrated progression systems created.
It was overrated right from the start and deserves none of the hype.
It actually proves that graphics seem to be everything as Final Fantasy III(VI) was a better game in every respect aside from graphics.
+Toveri JuriRight, and minecraft is such a realistic looking game.Your opinion is just that, it doesn't explain away the fact that every story before and after Shakespeare is the exact same story told with different toys. So what does it matter that the story is lacking a little.
12:37 cloud steals tifas underwear
Superpower Dragon Lol. I got nothing on that.
VERY important to the plot
clearly he was boning her...?
But like if all the memories Cloud has from that flashback are actually Zack's memories, was it Zack who stole TIfa's underwear? :/
@@kaziashfaqulhuq8765
It's not necessary that all of those memories are from Zack, because Cloud was there himself. The memories were mixed up. And the memory of his mom calling him Cloud couldn't be Zack's memory.
He was too ashamed to talk to Tifa as he failed on what he was trying to do to impress her, but he still took the chance to sneak in Tifa's room.
The remake only covers the first 11:45 minutes of this video and that's just STORY details. This is gonna be crazy when we get the other parts man.
RasenRendan the crazy thing is that the whole story is going to change because of the arbiters of fate and how are they manipulating time in another parallel universe where zack is still alive
@@broski4u214 I KNOW RIGHT!! I'm so excited to see what Square Enix has in store for us!
Yea hopefully my great grand kids will be able to enjoy the complete remake...
On of the best stories in a game I have ever played, can't wait for the remake.
Absolutely brilliant work. Well done. Still one of my favourite stories of all time.
No other Final Fantasy before or since has achieved this level of storytelling. Using the word "masterpiece" to describe FF7 is no stretch at all.
It was good but it was flawed. I can't call it a masterpiece. I feel 6 is much better but only by nature of it being a mature game on the systems late life
@@luciferfaust I loved 6 as well and in many ways I really miss those snes days.
If it looked like 10 visually
Then it would be a masterpiece
"After hearing Barrets sad story about personal loss, the party immediately boards a train to the Golden Saucer, a theme park and casino." Hahha I didn't bat an eye to this as a kid but looking back on that now. That's funny.
I will never understand why people like Sephiroth so much. He goes from a calm and collected warrior to a genocidal maniac with a god complex in the span of a few days. i always chop it up to the Jenova cells, but its not a canon explanation...
Indoctrination. A lot like Saren from Mass Effect, a being far older, far greater, than Sephiroth and was part of him from birth slowly degraded his mind and his motives for its own benefit. Jenova infects, Reunites, and then rides the husk of the world left behind in its wake to the next world it encounters. It's why Sephiroth went from "Hero of the Wutai Wars" and a collected and strong mentor figure to a man declaring war on humans, to a man seeking eternal power, and finally becoming a monstrous and inhuman form, the same thing that happened to the Cetra when they were also infected with Jenova's cells. There's a lot more I could say, but it would make for a very long comment. XD Let's just say, I have been doing research on this topic for months since the remake was announced because I still believe the main villain in the story is Jenova, not Sephiroth.
@@SupremeEmperorRei thats absolutely true. A part of me wonders if theyll save sephiroth and aerith somehow cuz nomura bullshit. This game was perfect as it was imo. Remake is still coolish though. The polish is insane.
25:50 am I the only person who finds this hilarious? 😆 😆 😆
As someone who's played through the game many times the recap is really emotionally dense and is just such an emotional rollercoster. At the same time I enjoy calling out what's happening next and hearing the story retold once more.
25 years later... and that scene still gets to me.
I think its the 3rd video about recaption of ff7 i watched today. All great full of details. I had played this countless of times and im still comming back on every platform possible. I dream that some day someone will make it to epic tv series with quality of witcher/game of thrones so more ppl could enjoy epicness of its story.
your views and subscribers SPIKED since the last time i watched your videos like 2 years ago. GREAT WORK
You absolutely did a great job telling this story
Watching this effects me in a way that no other person would be effected. It is weird. It makes me think. It makes me question. Connecting to the writers and the game content. How some things relate to IRL and such.
Ty for the refresher. This was and still is the greatest FF game ever.
Cheers.
I've played the game a ton of times and you helped me realize stuff about the story that I didn't know. Well done
Thanks a lot for this. I watched one LP of this game before but that player didn't fully explore all there is to the story. This recap really helps me find all the missing links.
Even though I've played FFVII a dozen times I watched this because your videos are very good and actually there was something you said here that I never caught before. "When a soul seeking Holy reaches the Lifestream" indicates Aerith praying for Holy would never have worked if she lived. And that being the case, I wondered if she knew this all along.
Amazing recaps. Keep up the great work and thank you for doing these videos, really enjoying them.
This guy are sick.
You are seriously amazing man, I love your work!
Keep it up
Looking forward to FFVI!
Thanks, I played last night for 1hr, while my wife and son slept. I know I can not play this game again right now, I simply dont have the time. It was nice to play the first bit of the game, now as I clean up this morning, I can listen to the great summary. Was reliving a Christmas memory, as I got PS1 and this game 21 years ago for Christmas. After this will be the soundtrack.
Final Fantasy 7 was my favorite RPG of all time. And that's saying a lot. A truly revolutionary game with innovative gameplay, character development, fueled by an epic story that was larger than life, it was a true masterpiece. I only wish I could play it all again for the first time.
Short verson. Ff7=greatness
Cloud, dude, get with Tifa, not Aerith
Think that's the point though.
*Spoilers*
Meaning that the Cloud/Aerith pairing is mostly there because Cloud thinks he's Zack and Aerith notices
Think that's the point though.
*Spoilers*

Amazing how the fandom completely misunderstand the Cloud/Aerith relationship. Always made me sad because their bond is a decent part of the story. Sigh... So, no, Cloud doesn't "think he's Zack" (just borrowed the mannerisms, confidence and his first class soldier point of view... and of course, the sword). He doesn't have Zack's memories of dating Aerith, for one thing. He liked Aerith because he simply did. And Aerith came to go past the Zack similitaries and genuinely fell for Cloud (look no further than Case of Lifestream by Nojima for confirmation that Aerith's romantic affection lies with Cloud... he's called her "beloved"/"lover" in it). This relationship is meant to represent the connection between love, life and death (the original FF7 commercial was kind of spoilery about this). This is a theme that was dear to Sakaguchi after he lost his mother. He wanted to portray what it is like to lose someone you love unexpectedly and how you deal with it (regrets you may have, etc)... But also that death isn't the end of hope. Isn't the end of existence or love either. It' pretty inspiring but it goes over so many people's head because the fandom majorly decided only Cloud/Tifa and Zack/Aerith mattered/were true.
Then again, the Cloud/Tifa relationship can be majorly misunderstood too.
*Spoilers :* Cloud's best partner was Aerith. She dies and he has to deal with it. Tifa is the one he first wanted and got in the end (unless we consider the original ending where Cloud and everyone die and reunite with Aerith.... I've read in an ultimania that Cait Sith's affinity prediction for Cloud and Aerith actually carried some kind of hope... maybe it has to do with this ending)... but she's also someone he doesn't have a natural affinity with. Nojima explained it himself while talking about Case of Tifa (novella), Cloud and Tifa are inherently incompatible, which makes their relationship a flawed/rocky one from the start. And it can be interesting in itself. It's another side of love in life (always felt like one of Cloud and Tifa's uniting factors was their feelings of loneliness... and being survivors of Nibelheim... the only ones they know of). A lot of relationships in FF7 were flawed (Cid/Shera anyone ? or the whole Vincent/Lucrecia/Hojo thing... unhealthy as hell... no matter what angle you prefer to view this other "love triangle"... also, as sweet as Zack and Aerith seemed to be, Zack was still openly flirting with other women... which hurt Aerith... and would hurt most young girls in her shoes).
RadicalDreamer17 I entirely forgot about the Vincent love triangle and I wouldn't say Tifa and Cloud were incompatible even in the beginning.
@@RadicalDreamer17 and who is the other woman you talking about? Someone clearly didn't do any research of Crisis Core, left alone playing it.
By the end of Advent Children, Aerith and Zack were finally reunited in lifestream. Shipping Cloud with Aerith is just dumb.
Looking forward to you doing a TFS recap of Final Fantasy VII.
The plot twist in FF7 is what put it above FF6, not the graphics.
Nothing is above FF6. You're just a casual who came along when 7 came out like most of the final fantasy "fans"
@@OGTH-camEnjoyer thats your opinion i played 6 first and agree that its a great game but i still prefer 9 and 7
@@OGTH-camEnjoyer
Gatekeeping at its finest
@@Xenosaga cool
@@OGTH-camEnjoyer 6 is boring and garbage 8 is so much better than that trash game bud
*WARNING*
FROM 27:55 onwards i recomend to pause go for a snack a glass of water, go to the bath then comeback as the normal rpg ends here...
Literally from 27:55 shit goes from 0 to 100 *REALLY FUCKING FAST*
This was my favorite game of all time until I played Chrono Trigger. Please do a recap from Chrono Trigger.
Thanks for making this dude. I'm old now and don't have the time to fully replay the game, but this is almost just as good.
God! Just watching this makes me want to replay it for like the 20th time!
Can you do a RECAPitation for Xenogears and Legend of Legaia?
+jmad01 Xenogears seems to be a popular request, so it'll be soon after Final Fantasy for sure.
Cool can't wait. What about Legend of Legaia?
2 of my favorites!
Yeah Xenogears is the best, but one of the lesser known squaresoft rpg's.
This was so well done. I'm huge fan of this game and I know a lot about it, but this was good refresher.
awesome job on this video! I definitely had trouble following a lot of these plot points when I was a kid.
After the FFVII remake, I wanted to refresh myself on the story as I have not played all the way through FFVII since I was a youngin and never played Crisis core or Dirge. Having watch your 3 videos I feel like I know FFVII better than I ever did and how much I missed!
I forgot how dark some of the stuff was in this game. I played it originally when I was like 13 or so when it came out..but ya, suicide, murder, tragedies. Jeez. Haha. Good job on the video dude, I really like you're recaps; they make me feel nostalgic about the 90's playing all of these games.
Cloud and Tifa were meant to be together 😍😍
Thanks for this! I've tried playing twice with my save file either getting corrupted or wiped. Quite an iconic story :)
Still mildly confusing. I can't believe everybody says this is the best Final Fantasy. Not by a long shot in my book. Thanks for the explanation though.
The story evolves over 60+ hours so of course it's confusing when retold in 45 minutes ;)
The way Cloud moves in his flashback kinda reminds me of Zack from kingdom hearts birth by sleep. Zack is also a soldier who learned about Sephiroth's true plans before Cloud and was the main protagonist in the prequel, Crisis Core Final Fantasy 7. Also, in kingdom hearts 2 Cloud claims that Sephiroth is the darkness in his heart. In Aqua's main story ending in kingdom hearts birth by sleep a black feather drop down on Zack and Zack gave a shocked look and disapeared.
Crisis core final fantasy VII has the best story in my views. N i like zack more than cloud
This is how I interpreted the ending (before advent children) the meteor is seconds away from hitting Gaia and it responds by releasing holy, the screen turns white as it releases its energy. However did it spare humans, did it think we were a threat. The only one we knew survive wasRED but that was 500 years later
Good work! Another amazing video!! :)
btw you can only get the underwear of Tifa when she's not in your party. Cloud is a perv. lol
you can only get the underwear in the flashback so of course Tifa isn't in the party.
That narration was perfect!!
You do such a great job. As a player, you tend to forget or not make certain connections when you play through the first time. You made ff8 more comprehensive for me. Having played it when I was pretty young, I missed or overlooked a few connecting details. I only wish I had discovered this series sooner.
5:06 I like to pretend you said "it leads to Walmart, a particularly seedy area even for the slums"
Awesome job man! I've completed the game but never really got the full story. Thanks for that! :-)
Great video, just one thing. What you called omega weapon is actually ultima weapon.
Great Video!! It was nice going back in time. Hope the remake is just as awesome.
i always thought it was May-ko, like the shark not Mah-ko
alex mccottry it is May-Koh. it is definitely not Mah-koh
It is mah-koh. In japanese, "ma-" is pronounced only as "mah"
Warren Fulp I say its May-ko. why apply the Japanese pronunciation when the rest of the game is english?
Because many words have a definitive pronounciation dependant of its origin. That's why Zidane is pronounced zee dan and not zai dain. Or a more real example burrito and not burraitoh
dUsTjUnKy2000 it's Mah Koh they pronounce it this way in both advent children and crisis core. I think dirge of Cerberus as well
Amazing work! You've earned my sub!
The best final fantasy in the series. Who else agrees?
Me
Frankly I dissagree. The Best final Fantasy is 1 otherwise 7 wouldnt exist.
Nice,I enjoyed watching.A Big thank you for your video
Such a brilliant game.
Love the series you have put together
Man.. the remake new direction is gonna be a mess. Like one huge mess.
Tetsuya needs to be stopped. someone summon holy.
They did a great job so far but I'm VERY worried that they mess it up. Lots of potential but KH is like the worst franchise ever so....
My man
Brilliant video!
Also, it was Ultimate Weapon that attacked Mideel, not Omega. This is important because Omega Weapon is present in Dirge of Cerberus.
1. Aerith deserves more before she dies, She deserves to experience love with Zack somehow. Her story is so tragic. She’s always been so helpful to everyone and strong hearted but never seems to win.
2. sephiroth needs some sort of option for him to redeem his humanity
3. Cloud and tifa need to blatantly confess their love for one another at the end
4. We need a game with the centra war
5. We need an advent children game or dlc
Your gonna need to redo this :)
The remake expanded only midgar, so how are they gonna expand the rest of the stor- oh wait... they defied fate so...
I never knew that is how you said Cait Sith.
"Ketchu" makes more sense than "Kate Sith"
A very well done video! Epic naration
Ive rewatched this so many times over the years lol.
we can all agree that this game is the face of FF Franchise (kill me if i spelled that wrong) . i've never even tried to played it. i mean i had this one on PS1 but it was my older brother PS1 (...and FFVII) and i was only 6 years old so my parents didn't want me to play games. afterall i was playing at night when everyone were asleep but just tried to beat the final boss...and i didn't understand everything what they're saying and why they even there...
but i really want to finish it now ;.; .
While watching this again im trying to figure where will the 2nd game end since the first stops at 11 mins.
you just earned a new subb, great content
Final Fantasy Summary:
FF I: Restore the orbs and fight a villian
FF II: Stop an evil empire
FF III: Bring balance to Light and Darkness
FF IV: Stop a Lunarian who wants to destroy the human race
FF V: Stop an evil tree mage from summoning a sealed darkness
FF VI: Stop a self-made god and end magic's misuse
FF VII: Stop someone with John Carpenter's The Thing from becoming a god
Thanks for the recap!
so much nostalgia, thank you!
That music at 34:00
The Rebirth Demo brought me here to remind myself what I experienced decades ago lol
In Mideel Tifa looks like she’s giving Cloud a Beat Rush and Dolphin Blow.
BEST FUCKING GAME EVVAAAHHH! CANT WAIT FOR THE REMAKE!
i forgot cait sith was gaelic, it fascinated me how many different labels or terms had the word cait or sith/sithe in mythology
I can't believe you wouldn't take Aerith to Gongaga!
bro, nice video!
Hold tight, Caith Sith
He's got a frisbee
When i bought this game i was in elementary school, just started my english class... i had no idea what's story was going on. But in the end i reached the last boss, winged godly Sephiroth lol
***** dude , that was excellent.
mightve been said before but around 40:00 Ultimate WEAPON is mistakenly referred to as Omega WEAPON. Also watching this vid has brought me to the realization that the main thing that bugs me about CloudxTifa is that Tifa is a bit of a creep throughtout the game
How so?
This is why when people ask me what FF7 is about I just say "uh, I don't know if I can explain it. Just play it. It's awesome." You did a good job, it must have taken forever to collect all of the data for the video. Thanks.
Matthew Etter Shinra are a fucking corporation that controls the government. That's a good start to fascism.
The easiest way to explain it is you are trying to steal underwear and save the world by raising chocobos🤪😐😐😐😂😂😂
I’ll admit, while I get why people love this game. It’s among my least favorite in the whole series. The game had been put on such a high pedestal by others that when I did get around to playing it, there was no way for the game to live up to how much people had hyped it up for me.
@@thedeepfriar745 The crazy thing is as much as I loved the whole hype of the game, I never truly dove into the game (never even played it fully until recently, but for some reason I know so much about it). I think the charm of this entire game and how it sits on #1 for me on my top 10 games I've ever played (and I played a lot of games lol). the overall story is the best, but that's that. The OVERALL story. so in order to truly appreciate why nerds consider this the best title ever, you need.... to dissect shit from like 7 different other things, movies, animes, books, guides/explanation compilations, ultimania-shit and all these other things. But once you learn it you can truly understand how groundbreaking this is. But with all that said,
tl;dr, this game is actually hype, as hype as they told me it was, but it is only appreciated as "hype" if you REALLY get into it and learn everything you can about it, in the order of which everything was released.... which is hard to do in this day and age because it took so long to get the "full picture/scope" of the game.
Damn! The story in this game is no joke!
So fucking epic!!
Sam Adams checkout "Xenogears" if the game and story of ff7 is something you like
It is a joke it is Trigun with Swords

Makes me understand why changes were made because damn this plot is a slog XD. Still great but Damn
But didn’t you just spoil the rest of the story for yourself? lol
andreee123123 nope the ending of ff7r makes it clear that the other two parts of the game will be different than the original.
@@EdElric15652000 No, Nomura specifically stated in an interview it will still follow the core beats of the original with some changes.
He said that about the game just released.
The whole of Chapter 18 was about changing destiny.

Now everything in Crisis Core makes so much more sense to me.
This RPG was bloody well written. Thanks man

...So am I the only one who thinks Cloud and Tifa smashed?
It totally happened xD
+Devon Lewis SO happened that when she discovered that they saw it all, she literally fell on the floor with embarassment (I hope the word is right)...
+Devon Lewis According to the higher-ups of FF VII production team, they did have sex, so... yeah. Cloud/Tifa is the true bonafide canon pairing.

Well, they might not live past the next day. So might as well make the most of what time they have, right?
+Shamus TheKnight Even so, Cloud seems too stoic to have sex on his mind at a time like that.

Edit: WOW! thanks for the likes.
This guy are sick.
solaire of astora it’s a joke. In one scene, Aireth incorrectly states ‘this guy are sick’ in the English version of the game early on in the story.
Yes he are
Hojo wants to breed RedXIII with Aerith? that's fucked up..
Ekky Arya Understand one critical fact about Hijo and Shinra: they don't give a fuck. About anything. These are the same people who found a 2000 year old mummy in a cave and said "let's inject it into ourselves." This is the same guy that impregnated Vincent's love and injected the fetus with alien DNA. And when Vincent had a problem with it, Hojo turned him into an immortal vampire. One must wonder if Hojo has a PhD or if he's just a guy who owns a lab coat.
elevate07 Both probably, Hojo is the example of a madman scientist who is a real dick.
Honestly, Hojo isn't that different than the real life nazi Dr. Mengele
wow you really deserve recognition for all the hard work you have done. it must have taken you soo much time to capture and put together all the in game footage. awesome video and an amazing job done!! keep up the great work!! :3
"They rescue a dolphin." i couldn't stop laughing after that part
For the remake, will have to ask the boss for a 2 month vacation. The only difference back then and why I was able to play the entire FF7 game (prior to Zelda:Ocarina of Time) was because I was just a kid. Now I'm 30, full time corporate office job, kids, wife. I will still play it though, no matter what, but i'm not sure if the experience will be quite the same, or be quite as spectacular compared to the first time around. The level of detail in this video is unprecedented, it even makes me question my own conscious. 18 years ago, seems so long ago, but this video makes it feel disturbingly recent, as if I've traversed the very fabric of space and time itself, aka the lifestream.
azura13liss I'm worried about what they'll do to Cloud and Aerith. What made them great was that they had many facets to their personalities. I really hope the writers don't strip away all of their quirks and make them defined by one thing
azura13liss I hope they do not stick to that episodic parts idea. I would rather they take their time and release a whole game.
+Outlaw8908 In their defense, tho? I could EASILY see FFVII getting remade and released, essentially, a "disc" at a time. Kind of like with FFVIII, the disc breaks were arranged at perfect moments of the story such that each "disc" kinda perfectly serves as a sort of "act" structure. I mean:
Disc 1/Act 1: background, characters and setting get introduced, the Party meets up, the conflict begins, the characters are forced to set out on their journey, plans to stop the antagonist are set into motion, and the act ends with a stun to the audience and a set back for the Party.
Disc 2/Act 2: The Party attempts to recover from the shock dealt at the end of the first Act, but is set back as Sephiroth "compromises" Cloud, mind controlling him and later putting him into a coma, forcing Tifa to stay behind and care for him. As she does, however, Cloud's past is revealed to not be as he claimed it to be, and in a natural disaster, both are flung thru a fissure into the now-exposed lifestream. The pair manage to escape -- fixing cloud's mental and physical medical issues in the process, and the conflict gears up for its final showdown.
Disc 3/Act 3: Final preparations are made, and the Party faces off against the antagonist and their plans, defeating said antagonist and ultimately saving the planet's future with no time to spare, while leaving it (somewhat) ambiguous as to whether the Party is successful in not only stopping said antagonists plans, but also in stopping them with enough time left that nobody is killed in any ensuing disaster.
Don't worry it will be great that's why it's taking forever they don't want to fuck up such a classic and it will be like an escape from work back to the carefree days of childhood when all that mattered was what happened next in ff vii and when the hell is viii coming out lol
If you're passionate about something, you'll find the time. ;)
There are always the weekends.
I have no interest in the remake myself, but I hope you enjoy it when it comes out.
