Hi friends, and welcome to my first playthrough of Final Fantasy VII Remake! I'm THRILLED to be going on this adventure with you all! As of writing this, I'm 8 chapters in, so you'll get to see my authentic experience with the story and combat in the first several videos. This also means that any tips or advice you have will either be something I discover on my own or won't be implemented until later in the series. Please bear with me, as I definitely missed or misunderstood quite a few things. But that's normal for me during the chaos of learning a new game. It'll get better, I swear hehe. Thank you so much for watching! If you enjoy this video, please leave a like, subscribe, and say hi in the comments :) Time Stamps ☁ 00:00 Intro 00:45 My Final Fantasy Experience 2:13 Game Start 3:08 Chapter 1: The Destruction of Mako Reactor 1 1:11:01 Chapter 2: Fateful Encounters 1:56:25 Episode Thoughts
Also dont forget to use your ATB ,it fills when you do regular attacks , once a bar is full you can use items, use magic or use abilities. also FIRE MAGIC is good vs HUMANS and you can use to damage the annoying DOG too that the soldiers sometimes use. THUNDER/ LIGHTNING magic is good vs Machines. So make sure you use them they will do alot damage .
I swear, I never watched so many LPs of a game as I did with the Remake and rebirth so far. So much fun, watching new players explore it all. And since I'm out of LPs since a while, I'm happy I got your video recommended by YT. So have fun. I'm sure you'll like it
Understandable! There's something super magical about this game. I'm having a hard time resisting the urge to watch some of my favorite streamers react to the parts i've already played. Welcome in and thanks for watching!! :)
So excited to see a new streamer into the FF7 Universe. You will get confused a lot, but don’t worry you will eventually get answers to your questions. The game plays around confusing the player and it’s rewarding when you figure it all out! This is a masterpiece, you will have an amazing time with it.
Great gameplay 🎉🎉, Don't play Crisis Core after finishing this one, it will give you a lot of spoilers, it is a game for those who played the original, after the remake go to Rebirth and then wait for the third game to be released, Crisis Core removes the plot twists from the third game that will be released later.
Agreed. Avoid Crisis Core (and crisis core reunion) as well as the movie Advent Children. Both heavily spoil the future of the game. Best to save those until after the final game in the trilogy.
@@cloudsi hmm, I don't completely agree. It's true Crisis Core removes from equation one of the main plot points as it tells you exactly what happened... But at the same time it adds SO much emotional weight to the story and so much background to the characters, that I would say it's a fair tradeoff
I agree. Unless you don't care about spoilers, you should avoid Crisis Core. I would play it only after finishing the OG, in case you're planning to play that after Rebirth.
@MrDiomedes1977 except if you play ff7 first you get the emotional weight, and then I'd you play cc after you get more emotional weight PLUS the "aha" moment. You won't get that by playing cc first
Just found this video in my recommended section, this was genuinely so entertaining! I played the original waaayy back in the day on the PS1, and seeing the remake was such a treat! I hope you continue the series, it’s genuinely so lovely to see, maybe even go into rebirth! ❤
Great start! If the camera keeps bothering you, might try moving the camera distance back in the options, can give you a bit better view of what's going on.
Had so much fun watching you play one of my favorite games🔥😃great job with the mechanics of the game🙌🏼🥳 I especially enjoyed your interaction with the characters and your commentary👏🏼🥰thx☁️🎀🌼
Welcome to the ff7 universe!! Its such a wild ride and tons of fun I love finding new streamers dipping into it. Theres two popular "routes" with this series, because the "remake" series is a rebuild of the original it takes all the different games/movies in the compilation and kinda mixes them up, so for new players going into remake blind its usually recommended to continue to go blind from remake straight into rebirth. Some fans recommend playing crisis core but If you do youll technically get spoiled on stuff thats not revealed until later in the original game. The other option is going back and playing the original, then crisis core and all the other stuff in the series (but thats a big undertaking and not many streamers do it that way lol) regardless im sure youll have a blast! This story/game is iconic and highly renowened for a reason 😁😁
Thanks! I’m glad to be here!! Should I play crisis core after rebirth then?? I’ll most likely go straight to rebirth after this (once I’m able to play it since I’m on PC only at the moment 😭)
@@cloudsi if you want the full surprises and don't play the original then you shouldn't really play crisis core until even after the 3rd remake title comes out (its name isnt announced yet) because what it spoils wasn't in rebirth yet either, just hinted at. It's also worth mentioning that because its a rebuild of the series that the games will hint at or reference stuff from the original that you wont catch blind, they've kind of set it up in a way so that its fresh/interesting for people who played OG but also not tooooo confusing for blind players it walks a pretty fine line sometimes tbh lol.
Just found this channel on my recommended feed & I’m looking forward to another newcomer to the FFVII universe! Always a great time to see reactions from a blind perspective. Looking forward to the series and future episodes!
Well done, combat takes some getting used to. I love FF VII, imo one of the best stories ever written. Remember to guard in punisher mode > super strong attack if you do. Also, you need ATB to use abilities, magic and items. Happy playing! 🙂
Jesse's voice actress is the same one who voiced "Misty" the spiritualist in Cyberpunk 2077... who owned the crystal/mystic shop. And the Woman Jackie was dating. So, yes, u nailed it
Really loved this initial play through part! Glad you are already loving it, because this, and the next game (so far) just get better and better!) The original FFVII is one of the games that inspired me to an eventual career as a game designer/systems developer in the industry, but as both a fan and career, this Remake just does EVERYTHING right, and then some. Liked and subbed, and looking forward to the next part! 🙂
The frame-y stuttering at the beginning is just a weird bug the PC version has. I think there is a mod that fixes it, but not an official patch or anything.
I am so happy to see more and more people discovering the amazing world of FF7! Such an incredible journey and probably on of my favorite adventure series/games of all time. Truly incredible. You get A new sub as well! Hope you have fallen in love with this game! (As I know you're 8 chapters in now!)
This is my favorite game of all time, I've played it so many times and I absolutely love it.... I'm excited to see your reactions to it (I have yet to play Rebirth) but I'll play it soon and I can't wait to see your reactions to that too
Loved this! Think you got it, but Shinra was the one who set them up with the explosion. (Shinra pressed that button and caused it all). So excited to watch the rest 😊
This is the only ff game I've finished (at least this part, i havent played the second part or crisis core), I had no plans to play it but it was free on psn so i gave it a shot and loved it
Happen to see your channel on my recommendation, such a joy to see someone playing through FF7R for the first time. You've got a new subscriber! Can't wait to experience more of the journey ahead!
Your ability to pause is your ATB and items menu your meant (alowwed) to use abilities and items often youll get used to it the game does a pretty good job of throwing you into lots of varied combat early and a fairly tough 1st boss
Not sure why, but I just did not pick up on the ATB mechanics in the very beginning lol - thankfully it makes much more sense to me now. Appreciate the advice!
Yay! Just subscribed. I really like your energy and optimism so im glad i discovered you through this game. Edit: Ok actually positive feedback here, im really glad you dont talk over the music or dialogue too much, and when you DO, its actually like... substantial and not just to hear your own voice 🤭 Thats gonna make this playthrough so fun to watch because the music is extremely iconic, almost as much as the characters, and the dialogue is very dynamic too. Ooo im having so much fun watching you ! 🥳 Ok another update: So honestly, you didnt get a game over during the scorpion battle so i call that a win. Those boss battles can be tough because they all have their own weaknesses. But i think you understood it well enough and like i said, you finished it first try which is major. Jessie is voice by Erica Lindbeck (spelling?). She's voiced maaaaany characters. Your sound levels are great too FYI. Oh my gosh... are you my new favorite gamer?! Part two part two part TWOOOO
Omg thank you, this is all so nice!! 😊 And thanks for the encouragement with the combat, I was a little nervous to post the video because i knew I missed things but you're so right - at least I didn't die lmao
I love blind playthroughs of remake and rebirth im grabbing popcorn! Best games youll want to make time haha ... not sure if your saavy with PC mods but theres an hd photo realistic reshade thats 100 percent worth it .. think it adds ray tracing and stuff it simpy looks like a completly diff expirience from ps4/5 okay ill shut up Jesse wedge and biggs are in like 7 or 8 diff final fantasys at least
A really helpful mod that should help with the stutter is “Disable Dynamic Resolution.” It doesn’t change anything in the game but FF7R is constantly changing resolution, which can bog down a GPU. That mod stabilizes it to whatever resolution you picked.
I haven't watched the whole thing, got as far as the scorpion but a couple of things that might help: - you read a reference to ATB quite a few times but didn't seem to understand what that was (which is fair as the tutorial doesn't do a great job of showing it). Bottom right graphic had your two characters with some info. At the top is HP (health) and right is MP (magic points). Under health is ATB and is split in to 2 sections. When you damage or get damaged you will see it fill up until a section is complete. You then get and audio and visual queue to tell you that abilities are now available. That is why sometimes you tried to heal and nothing was available to select... you need to have a ATB charge for anything that isn't a basic attack. Also, to the right of that is limit gauge. Once it is full it pulses and you then know who has a limit break available. - Magic - when you have an ATB charge you can use Magic. This shows up as 'spells' in the menu. Things like the scorpion are vulnerable to certain magics... the scorpion was vulnerable to lightning (Cloud told you in some dialogue). Using the right ones both does a lot of damage and also increases the enemies stagger bar. - check those corners! You missed a few item boxes. They love hiding them in little corridors or behind things! Hope this helps and you can enjoy the battles a bit more.
Appreciate all the advice!! I feel like I was very overstimulated during this first episode lmao. Watching it back I was like "omg Cloud told me to cast lightning?!" "There's an ATB charge?" 💀 Also I'm sad to know I missed loot 😭
@cloudsi I have watched a few of these and have thought the explanation about ATB gets missed a lot but I have also always thought the tutorial itself really doesn't help because it relies on you knowing where to look in the first place. And yes, missing loot is always very sad! Even more possibilities to miss it in Rebirth!
I'm gonna list you the names of the voice actors in case you're interested. Cloud Strife: Cody Christian Barret Wallace: John Eric Bentley Tifa Lockhart: Britt Baron Aerith Gainsborough: Briana White Sephiroth: Tyler Hoechlin Jessie Raspberry: Erica Lindbeck Biggs: Gideon Emery Wedge: Matt Jones For now this is all, but more characters are gonna join.
@@cloudsi I love that you're a Teen Wolf fan, everyone was talking about it when they heard the news about them being casted for this game😂 Also I haven't finished watching this and the next episode, but maybe I'm gonna comment curiosities or advices for the gameplay in case you're struggling. And never worry about not being able to do something at first, you can mess up as much as you want😉
@@laurajanco2i i have no idea how i missed out on the hype surrounding the VAs, but yea Teen Wolf was one of my favorite shows back in the day! Although I still haven't finished the final season because I heard it was bad and didn't want to taint my view of it lol. And go for it! I appreciate advice as long as it's not spoilery :)
@@cloudsi That's me but with The Vampire Diaries😂 Anyway, absolutely no spoilers from me, I'm only gonna talk about what you have just played at the moment. If you want to avoid spoilers I also suggest you to not get into the fandom for the time being because the FF7 one is famous for being... let's say intense😬
A new blind playthrough? Yes please! No chat distractions?? Insta-sub 😁 It looks like you realised in the edit what happened during the reactor bombing, and you were already suspecting the truth by the end of ch.2
Yeah, live chat always makes me anxious because there is ALWAYS that one dude, constantly spoiling or hinting too much. So in games like this, I highly prefer normal videos over live streams
All fans will agree with me say bump the music nobuo goes hard in this soundtrack he wrote alot of music in 14 as well and 10 since your familiar with those
(i have yet to experience Red Dead Redemption) Final Fantasy VII Remake is always the SECOND game of my recommendation after God of War series. Then its going to be Horizon Zero Dawn. i played Final Fantasy VII (OG) on PlayStation ONE decades ago. The story was very confusing for me with my very young brain, so do expect plot twists for the Remake as well. And because of that, i was leaning more towards Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX back then with their (kind of) more straight forward stories. And i am glad to know you have experienced the iconic Final Fantasy X. Glad seeing you play FF7R. Cheers.
I love a good plot twist so I’m excited for whatever comes next! It’s interesting how many things fly over our heads as kids! I’m glad to experience so many games for the first time as an adult because even tho I still miss some things, overall I understand so much more and can actually relate to whatever is happening. Also hell yea FFX! Actually traumatized me as a kid lmao but I have very fond memories of that game
Oh we love a blind playthrough! Be careful with the shipping community they can be Hella toxic 😂 however I'm excited to see you go through this journey!
i had the same framerate issues on pc aswell more on the cutscenes then actual gameplay so i think its more just a pc general thing rather then your pc just thought id mention
@@cloudsi yup i have just really started to go PC full time this year and deffs notice with games that didnt start out on PC and got ported later they seem to have the random issues. for me its always cutscene stuff lol
yeah here we go again following someone else's playthrough of 7 remake kkkk i played this in 1998 and still cant stop seein peoples reaction to this masterpiece!
I forgot just how much this game throws at you from the beginning. I LOVE FF7 Remake but i do think they could have spaced the mechanics tutorials a bit more to make it less overwhelming
So many people who discover Final Fantasy love it. Which is why Square is a bunch of morons for making their games PS5 exclusives instead of creating new fans. Well, I hope you enjoy it :)
@@cloudsi thanks! I am not sure whether it is current trend of streamers or any rew regulation whatsoever that streamers nowadays use simple portraits as yours. Back then many streamers positioned their portraits at the lower corner of screens and it looks like their backgrounds were not visible except their gaming chair. I think that was much better.
It's understandable if it takes someone a while to get a good grasp on the combat, but it can be frustrating when it repeatedly seems like you're just not even paying attention 😔
understandable, i watch myself back and realize i'm just not processing things sometimes and could see how it would be frustrating for others to watch. This is only episode 1 though, so if you can get through the next video or two (its ok if you cant lol) I really started to turn things around and take my time learning the mechanics.
@@cloudsi Thank you for understanding, and taking the time to respond! It would have been easy to dismiss some random guy's criticism 😅 You've convinced me to give it another chance. As a fan of the game, I really just want you to give yourself the best chance of enjoying it! That's where my feelings come from. I'm glad to hear you are getting the hang of things in later episodes, and whether I stick around to the end or not, I truly hope you enjoy the game!
I was wondering if you were going to say that you had at least heard of or seen the original game, but it sounds like you aren't that familiar with it other than these characters being iconic😂 So far from what I understand, this is a completely rebuilt version of the original original game, it's different but many of the same assets are in it alongside the characters-the compilation is just including a lot of things from extra content. FFVII is square Enix's baby, the devs went absolutely crazy, releasing new and different types of lore over the years.❤
I mean I knew of this game and how popular it is, but nope! Never played the original, only other FF games. I’m so ready to dive more into the world/lore!! From my experience final fantasy always has incredible stories, so knowing this is their baby has me very excited!
I feel like it's easier to play the game with Mouse/keyboard and custom key bindings, if controller is not for you. but the standard keybindings are terrible so don't use those :D
Hello, welcome to FF7. I do want to warn you though to not let anybody in your comments or chat discourage you from making any choices that you want to make in the games. The community for this game is very toxic and there's a strong possibility that they will try to bring you down no matter what side you're on. Anybody who belittles or insults you in any way over your way of thinking or tries to persuade you to do, think, or interpret things their way is not a fan of the game, they're just insecure and they only care about being right. Think for yourself, interpret the game how you wish, and don't let anyone bully you around no matter who they are. Hope you enjoy the game, and please stay safe.
@@BaldusCattus Well tbf, the shippers kind of take over the community. The ship wars is the only thing that I see the fandom talk about. You also won't believe how many people have told me personally to stay away from the fandom. I've seen a lot of people in this community, not all, but a lot of them act like a cult and if you don't cater to their will, they go as far as to harass you, insult you, or even threaten you over it. Some people in this fandom even defend individuals that have committed crimes all because they share the same opinion on the characters. Frankly, it really doesn't matter what you're trying to discuss when it comes to this game, it 95% of the time ends up leading to an argument. It's no joke...
It's gonna be fun to see how her opinion develops. I'm a [REDACTED] myself and I always love to watch if players will choose the same as me or different 🎉
Ya know you really should've watched a playthrough movie of the OG FF7 game before starting this new remake of it cause there are some parts in this that are gonna confuse you.
@@gibbs615 it's okay to be confused. FF7 is a game that really makes you think in a good way. You don't have to play og FF7 before Remake, but you often want to play it after because it's so good ;)
Ill mention it just because its easy to miss this. Sephiroth is a psycho. When he says: Run cloud... Run away! You have to leave, you have to live and then smirks. Those were Cloud's mother last words to him. So cloud gets pissed off.
She’s not supposed to know that at that point in the game… why do you even spoil it, that’s beyond me. @cloudsi: Luckily knowing that piece of information is not a -big- deal but I’d advise you to be extremely cautious with the comments. As you can see, some FF7 fans just love to spoil the game and ruin the fun to new streamers for some unknown reason. I would suggest to have some mod to review the comments before reading anything to avoid more important spoilers. I’ve seen it on some other new FF7 streamers and it’s very sad how toxic this community can be :( Can’t wait nonetheless to see the rest of your playthrough!
@@lyozixv ugh yea I had a feeling this was spoiler territory. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be super mindful about reading comments. Hopefully being a little bit ahead of recording will help somewhat too…
@@cloudsi Yeah was spoilery. The storytelling is kind of subtle in a lot of ways, the spoiler is 'subtle' when it comes up, it's been such a long time many people don't pick up on it. Maybe he was saying it for that reason, but yeah, still a spoiler. Hope you enjoy your ff7 adventure :)
@kwpineda5663 dude really? Yeah its an easily missed thing but you bring it up later when it gets missed not before that moment even happens. Why do yall spoil 😭😭

This is a masterpiece, you will have an amazing time with it.
Bring on the confusion! I fully trust the process with FF games. Thanks for watching! 😊
Oh, another blind playthrough, this will be fun to watch. I hope you have as great a time with this as I and many others have

Welcome!! And omg yes I have fallen in love! It’s so hard to stop playing 😭
This is my favorite game of all time, I've played it so many times and I absolutely love it.... I'm excited to see your reactions to it (I have yet to play Rebirth) but I'll play it soon and I can't wait to see your reactions to that too
The "30 min time limit" is a total mind-F by the devs, knowing full well it takes the average player a maximum of 7 min to escape the reactor! 🙄🤣
Lmaoo, I wish they would have actually given us a challenge.
Loved this! Think you got it, but Shinra was the one who set them up with the explosion. (Shinra pressed that button and caused it all).
So excited to watch the rest 😊
I did get it! But not until I started editing the video lmao
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the first ep!
This is the only ff game I've finished (at least this part, i havent played the second part or crisis core), I had no plans to play it but it was free on psn so i gave it a shot and loved it
So far its so much fun! But I knew I'd probably enjoy it - i'm already a big fan of FFX (highly recommend) and FFXIV.
can't wait for the next video, I love this game
Happen to see your channel on my recommendation, such a joy to see someone playing through FF7R for the first time. You've got a new subscriber! Can't wait to experience more of the journey ahead!
Yay! Thank you and welcome in!!
I'm a simple man. I'll subscribe for any blind playthrough!! Have fun!
Haha thanks and welcome!!

Ok actually positive feedback here, im really glad you dont talk over the music or dialogue too much, and when you DO, its actually like... substantial and not just to hear your own voice 🤭
Thats gonna make this playthrough so fun to watch because the music is extremely iconic, almost as much as the characters, and the dialogue is very dynamic too.
Ooo im having so much fun watching you ! 🥳
Ok another update:
So honestly, you didnt get a game over during the scorpion battle so i call that a win. Those boss battles can be tough because they all have their own weaknesses. But i think you understood it well enough and like i said, you finished it first try which is major.
Jessie is voice by Erica Lindbeck (spelling?). She's voiced maaaaany characters.
Your sound levels are great too FYI.
Oh my gosh... are you my new favorite gamer?!
Part two part two part TWOOOO
Omg thank you, this is all so nice!! 😊
And thanks for the encouragement with the combat, I was a little nervous to post the video because i knew I missed things but you're so right - at least I didn't die lmao
I love blind playthroughs of remake and rebirth im grabbing popcorn! Best games youll want to make time haha ... not sure if your saavy with PC mods but theres an hd photo realistic reshade thats 100 percent worth it .. think it adds ray tracing and stuff it simpy looks like a completly diff expirience from ps4/5 okay ill shut up
Jesse wedge and biggs are in like 7 or 8 diff final fantasys at least
Hmm ok, I may look into the mod! I typically go completely vanilla for a first playthrough, but ya never know!

- you read a reference to ATB quite a few times but didn't seem to understand what that was (which is fair as the tutorial doesn't do a great job of showing it).
Bottom right graphic had your two characters with some info. At the top is HP (health) and right is MP (magic points). Under health is ATB and is split in to 2 sections.
When you damage or get damaged you will see it fill up until a section is complete. You then get and audio and visual queue to tell you that abilities are now available. That is why sometimes you tried to heal and nothing was available to select... you need to have a ATB charge for anything that isn't a basic attack.
Also, to the right of that is limit gauge. Once it is full it pulses and you then know who has a limit break available.
- Magic - when you have an ATB charge you can use Magic. This shows up as 'spells' in the menu. Things like the scorpion are vulnerable to certain magics... the scorpion was vulnerable to lightning (Cloud told you in some dialogue). Using the right ones both does a lot of damage and also increases the enemies stagger bar.
- check those corners! You missed a few item boxes. They love hiding them in little corridors or behind things!
Hope this helps and you can enjoy the battles a bit more.
Appreciate all the advice!! I feel like I was very overstimulated during this first episode lmao. Watching it back I was like "omg Cloud told me to cast lightning?!" "There's an ATB charge?" 💀
Also I'm sad to know I missed loot 😭
@cloudsi I have watched a few of these and have thought the explanation about ATB gets missed a lot but I have also always thought the tutorial itself really doesn't help because it relies on you knowing where to look in the first place.
And yes, missing loot is always very sad! Even more possibilities to miss it in Rebirth!
You need to run the game in DX11 on PC. DX12 makes it choppy on PC for whatever reason. Hope you enjoy the game! It's quite an adventure!
I'm gonna list you the names of the voice actors in case you're interested.
Cloud Strife: Cody Christian
Barret Wallace: John Eric Bentley
Tifa Lockhart: Britt Baron
Aerith Gainsborough: Briana White
Sephiroth: Tyler Hoechlin
Jessie Raspberry: Erica Lindbeck
Biggs: Gideon Emery
Wedge: Matt Jones
For now this is all, but more characters are gonna join.
Cloud, Sephiroth, and Biggs were all in Teen Wolf!! You have no idea how happy this makes me lmao
@@cloudsi I love that you're a Teen Wolf fan, everyone was talking about it when they heard the news about them being casted for this game😂
Also I haven't finished watching this and the next episode, but maybe I'm gonna comment curiosities or advices for the gameplay in case you're struggling.
And never worry about not being able to do something at first, you can mess up as much as you want😉
@@laurajanco2i i have no idea how i missed out on the hype surrounding the VAs, but yea Teen Wolf was one of my favorite shows back in the day! Although I still haven't finished the final season because I heard it was bad and didn't want to taint my view of it lol.
And go for it! I appreciate advice as long as it's not spoilery :)
@@cloudsi That's me but with The Vampire Diaries😂
Anyway, absolutely no spoilers from me, I'm only gonna talk about what you have just played at the moment. If you want to avoid spoilers I also suggest you to not get into the fandom for the time being because the FF7 one is famous for being... let's say intense😬
A new blind playthrough? Yes please!
No chat distractions?? Insta-sub 😁
It looks like you realised in the edit what happened during the reactor bombing, and you were already suspecting the truth by the end of ch.2
Yeaaa...it was basically no thoughts all vibes in the reactor moment for me lmao.
Welcome in and thanks for watching!
Yeah, live chat always makes me anxious because there is ALWAYS that one dude, constantly spoiling or hinting too much. So in games like this, I highly prefer normal videos over live streams
All fans will agree with me say bump the music nobuo goes hard in this soundtrack he wrote alot of music in 14 as well and 10 since your familiar with those
Welcome to the rollercoaster ride of FFVII. Enjoy your stay! 😊
Thank you!!
To fix the stuttering issue switch to direct x 11 instead of 12 i believe or vice versa can't believe they never fixed that
Thanks!! I will look into this!
My favorite game of all time, hope you enjoy it.
Save limits for when the enemy is staggered for most damage :) enjoy the game
(i have yet to experience Red Dead Redemption)
Final Fantasy VII Remake is always the SECOND game of my recommendation after God of War series.
Then its going to be Horizon Zero Dawn.
i played Final Fantasy VII (OG) on PlayStation ONE decades ago.
The story was very confusing for me with my very young brain, so do expect plot twists for the Remake as well.
And because of that, i was leaning more towards Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX back then with their (kind of) more straight forward stories.
And i am glad to know you have experienced the iconic Final Fantasy X.
Glad seeing you play FF7R.
Cheers.
I love a good plot twist so I’m excited for whatever comes next!
It’s interesting how many things fly over our heads as kids! I’m glad to experience so many games for the first time as an adult because even tho I still miss some things, overall I understand so much more and can actually relate to whatever is happening.
Also hell yea FFX! Actually traumatized me as a kid lmao but I have very fond memories of that game
Indeed the women in this game are lovely. The flower peddler is SO cute and pretty
1:17:43 She is Misty from Cyberpunk 2077 lol.
Final fantasay you'll love this games very awesome, funny and emotional ..let's goooooo
I already love it so much!!!
@@cloudsi 🎇🎇
New journey LET'S FN GOOOO 🎉🎉🎉
WOOO! 🥳
Rock on! Thank you.
Very nice gameplay
Bib Big like
Thanks!!
Well, if this might be your new fav game. You are in for a good ride, as the next part is all of this just better.
Love to hear that!!
Oh we love a blind playthrough! Be careful with the shipping community they can be Hella toxic 😂 however I'm excited to see you go through this journey!
Haha I will never understand shipping wars! Let people like what they like.
Says you have 4 ff7 videos uploaded but i only see 1 available is there a way to dip into the others ?
Those are my prescheduled uploads! They’ll be uploaded weekly every Friday :)
i had the same framerate issues on pc aswell more on the cutscenes then actual gameplay so i think its more just a pc general thing rather then your pc just thought id mention
Thanks! I did start to realize at some point that it was just a weird cutscene thing. Love when PC ports have random issues lol
@@cloudsi yup i have just really started to go PC full time this year and deffs notice with games that didnt start out on PC and got ported later they seem to have the random issues. for me its always cutscene stuff lol
yeah here we go again following someone else's playthrough of 7 remake kkkk i played this in 1998 and still cant stop seein peoples reaction to this masterpiece!
be ready for the post game depression after ff7 rebirth because that game was even better
I forgot just how much this game throws at you from the beginning. I LOVE FF7 Remake but i do think they could have spaced the mechanics tutorials a bit more to make it less overwhelming
Haha oh boy yea I was struggling the first couple episodes. The combat is fun but it’s definitely a lot to get used to.
I never had a problem with the mechanics, learning this is very easy.
So many people who discover Final Fantasy love it. Which is why Square is a bunch of morons for making their games PS5 exclusives instead of creating new fans. Well, I hope you enjoy it :)
Ugh yea I’m not a fan of console exclusives, it’s so sad when new games come out and half the gaming population can’t enjoy it
You should follow how other streamers do to minimize your portrait so that it is not too big.
you mean you don't like watching my big head instead of the gameplay?
@@cloudsi thanks! I am not sure whether it is current trend of streamers or any rew regulation whatsoever that streamers nowadays use simple portraits as yours. Back then many streamers positioned their portraits at the lower corner of screens and it looks like their backgrounds were not visible except their gaming chair. I think that was much better.
It's understandable if it takes someone a while to get a good grasp on the combat, but it can be frustrating when it repeatedly seems like you're just not even paying attention 😔
understandable, i watch myself back and realize i'm just not processing things sometimes and could see how it would be frustrating for others to watch. This is only episode 1 though, so if you can get through the next video or two (its ok if you cant lol) I really started to turn things around and take my time learning the mechanics.
@@cloudsi Thank you for understanding, and taking the time to respond! It would have been easy to dismiss some random guy's criticism 😅
You've convinced me to give it another chance.
As a fan of the game, I really just want you to give yourself the best chance of enjoying it! That's where my feelings come from.
I'm glad to hear you are getting the hang of things in later episodes, and whether I stick around to the end or not, I truly hope you enjoy the game!
@@byteheist of course! I'm not opposed to constructive criticism when done in a respectful way :)
I was wondering if you were going to say that you had at least heard of or seen the original game, but it sounds like you aren't that familiar with it other than these characters being iconic😂
So far from what I understand, this is a completely rebuilt version of the original original game, it's different but many of the same assets are in it alongside the characters-the compilation is just including a lot of things from extra content.
FFVII is square Enix's baby, the devs went absolutely crazy, releasing new and different types of lore over the years.❤
I mean I knew of this game and how popular it is, but nope! Never played the original, only other FF games.
I’m so ready to dive more into the world/lore!! From my experience final fantasy always has incredible stories, so knowing this is their baby has me very excited!
I feel like it's easier to play the game with Mouse/keyboard and custom key bindings, if controller is not for you. but the standard keybindings are terrible so don't use those :D
haha i've actually gotten much more used to using a controller now! I can thank this game and elden ring for that lol
You should do ff7 rebirth after this
Blind playthrough and never played the og? Oh I'm very interested in your perspective of the game now.
Hello, welcome to FF7. I do want to warn you though to not let anybody in your comments or chat discourage you from making any choices that you want to make in the games. The community for this game is very toxic and there's a strong possibility that they will try to bring you down no matter what side you're on. Anybody who belittles or insults you in any way over your way of thinking or tries to persuade you to do, think, or interpret things their way is not a fan of the game, they're just insecure and they only care about being right. Think for yourself, interpret the game how you wish, and don't let anyone bully you around no matter who they are. Hope you enjoy the game, and please stay safe.
Thanks for the warning!! Thankfully everyone so far has been nice and welcoming, but it is only episode 1 😂
@@cloudsi No prob!
That's overselling it a little, at least for this game! Most toxicity comes from dumb shipper-wars.
@@BaldusCattus Well tbf, the shippers kind of take over the community. The ship wars is the only thing that I see the fandom talk about. You also won't believe how many people have told me personally to stay away from the fandom. I've seen a lot of people in this community, not all, but a lot of them act like a cult and if you don't cater to their will, they go as far as to harass you, insult you, or even threaten you over it. Some people in this fandom even defend individuals that have committed crimes all because they share the same opinion on the characters. Frankly, it really doesn't matter what you're trying to discuss when it comes to this game, it 95% of the time ends up leading to an argument. It's no joke...
Before we even we even begin this. Guys, stay civil about ships alright.
No. Jessie is the one. I will debate all comers.
As someone named Garrett, Barret has always been one of my favorite FF characters.
Haha love it!!
Peak
You forgot alot of treasure chests. Keep your 👀 open for them, then i will continue watching your playtrough 😉
oh no the pressure is on!
@@cloudsi don't take it seriously. I'm just another loot goblin 😅
You did good for someone who's not used to gamepads 👍🏻
Greetings from 🇦🇹Austria 🇦🇹
Diesel-punk. ^_^
I'm buckled in!!
Drop a follow on twitch, saw u were on 99 so i had to make it 100 lol
omg thank you!!
*_Another Clerith in the making? Let’s wait and see! 🤞_*
It's gonna be fun to see how her opinion develops. I'm a [REDACTED] myself and I always love to watch if players will choose the same as me or different 🎉
Ya know you really should've watched a playthrough movie of the OG FF7 game before starting this new remake of it cause there are some parts in this that are gonna confuse you.
I think I’ll be ok! I’ve heard this is ok to play without previous knowledge of the OG game. I feel like the confusion will all pay off eventually
@@cloudsi Yeah but in this remake there are newly added things that were not in the OG game before.
@@gibbs615 it's okay to be confused. FF7 is a game that really makes you think in a good way. You don't have to play og FF7 before Remake, but you often want to play it after because it's so good ;)
@@HolyJonte Well I suppose, still I think it's best to play or watch the OG FF7 first.
Ill mention it just because its easy to miss this. Sephiroth is a psycho. When he says: Run cloud... Run away! You have to leave, you have to live and then smirks. Those were Cloud's mother last words to him. So cloud gets pissed off.
Ahhh what a freak! Does that info come up later in the game? If so, no more extra info please haha. Can’t wait to learn more about him eventually
She’s not supposed to know that at that point in the game… why do you even spoil it, that’s beyond me.
@cloudsi: Luckily knowing that piece of information is not a -big- deal but I’d advise you to be extremely cautious with the comments. As you can see, some FF7 fans just love to spoil the game and ruin the fun to new streamers for some unknown reason. I would suggest to have some mod to review the comments before reading anything to avoid more important spoilers. I’ve seen it on some other new FF7 streamers and it’s very sad how toxic this community can be :(
Can’t wait nonetheless to see the rest of your playthrough!
@@lyozixv ugh yea I had a feeling this was spoiler territory. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be super mindful about reading comments. Hopefully being a little bit ahead of recording will help somewhat too…
@@cloudsi Yeah was spoilery. The storytelling is kind of subtle in a lot of ways, the spoiler is 'subtle' when it comes up, it's been such a long time many people don't pick up on it. Maybe he was saying it for that reason, but yeah, still a spoiler. Hope you enjoy your ff7 adventure :)
@kwpineda5663 dude really? Yeah its an easily missed thing but you bring it up later when it gets missed not before that moment even happens. Why do yall spoil 😭😭
