The golden era of RPG's were the Snes, between 93' to 97' roughly. The golden era of gaming lasted to approximately 2005-08'. The era of MMO's started in 06' for reals and peaked around 2010 I believe where it hit a downward trend by morphing into what it is today... uh, mostly crap honestly. Roughly like this. I can't say when the golden era of Arcades were.
I agree, i got FF7 ,FF8, FF9, FF10, & FF12 on my Switch like its the NES/SNES Era all over again... As much as i think FF13 isnt all that gr8, I'd LOVE 2 add it 2 my Switch Collection too...
The 2d backgrounds and 3d sprites was one of he best ideas for this game. It doesnt look AS DATED as the other like xenogears that did the reverse. And im STILL impressed by some of the backgrounds today.
Unlikely, since NG+ was a feature on the SNES game, Chrono Trigger. Related fact: It's now possible to bring Aeris “back to life” without altering the progress of your game: _HUGE FFVII Discovery Brings Aerith Back To Life!_
the twin horn ability's MP cost may seem random, but it's actually specifically FFFF in hex, meaning the game likely uses four bytes to determine MP cost.
Its kinda sad that nowadays you'd be hard pressed to find devs as passionate about their game as this guy was, they learned brand new technology, hired people from another country, and relentlessly tried to perfect the game just to release it for $50. Even the same company is like "here's the exact same game, pay us $207 for it" more than double than the cost of ff7 original if we count for inflation at $97.
right? imagine stretching out a 30-40 hour rpg to 150 hours stretched across 3 rpgs taking up most of the decade to even conclude if remake part 3 comes out in 2027 or 2028
I know there is at least one scene in the PlayStation version (at least in my German version) where they show Tifa's mouth. It's when they are alone outside Highwind after Cloud sent everyone else home.
Oh this can be explained. So basically the native PS1 versions don't have mouths by default on the model when they wander around. It's a disabled feature. Once brought over to PC this was reenabled so everyones mouths can be seen on field. However certain cutscenes like the Highwind scene did enable it for the purpose of expressing the scene better. Basically was done only as an exception for such scenes. Here is a small example actually: cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/Ys9VwHw3b8TuPnAHqHh8ia-1200-80.png
I love the 'what ifs' of this game. What if it was made for SNES or N64? What if this/that content wasn't cut? But my biggest what if: what if Square never lost (ie deleted) the source code? There were rumors of FF7-9 being remastered for the PS2. Had source code never been lost it probably would've happened. And decades later they could keep uprezzing and improving assets. It would've been amazing to see all the little details fleshed out in higher res. And we wouldn't have gotten the abortion FF7R turned out to be. Younger generations could play the original in perfect detail.
@@TheObsessiveGamer I appreciate the effort but a few still slipped through. 4:52 you can see that the character models used here in the cut content section for honeybee in are ones from a mod. 13:54 uses modded character models as well.

SNES, PS1 AND PS2 REALLY FEELS LIKE A GOLDEN AGE. The industry really has suffered when graphics became the focus instead of story telling.
Yeah, I remember even how I was dispointed in RPG games in PS3 era compared to how many great RPG we got in PS2.
The golden era of RPG's were the Snes, between 93' to 97' roughly.
The golden era of gaming lasted to approximately 2005-08'.

It's weird to have FF7 on a Nintendo console after all these years thanks to the Switch. It comes full circle.
wait, it is?
yuh n on mobile n on my smart fridge, plane, island, planet etc. .
To be fair, you could also somewhat say this about the Chinese nes demake.

@@cdizzytv3753I have have all the games on cartridge. Super neat.
In the PAL version, you can fight the tonberry in the northern crater

Yeah, I miss pre rendered background. They make a lot of PSX games looks better than PS2 games.
Ah, probably the 457th video on FF7 cut content..And I'm still gonna watch it
Maybe the "new game plus" thing was testing bringing data from one disc to the next?

40 hours of FMV cutscenes? Surely that’s a typo?
For sure. That's gotta be 40 minutes, as that's what the final game basically has.

Sakaguchi was the heart of FF. Since he 'left' Square (unofficially fired), it has never been the same. His passion oozed in his games.

Take a shot everytime you hear "materia".
I drunk dialed my ex and we're getting married! Thanks stranger!
i have distinct memories of encountering tonberry at the northern crater in the ps1 version... am i crazy? lol
Master Tonberry?
I'd say that you could meet regular Tonberries at the Northern Crater?
At the endgame, you definitely faced Master Tonberries.
Nice video, could you possibly cover the old Ssmpler demo that came with Tobal no.2?
@@TofuSG98 part 3 is gonna show that actually:)
I like it when you can tell that people actually enjoy what they're talking about on TH-cam you're not just spewing random facts
The title is about cut content and miniature show up an arrow to Aerith ? It is true for all interpretations of 'cut content'
Opening line: Last time...
Me: ...on Dragon Ball Z!
@@hitchhikerwithtowel2721 considering I have done a DBZ video on this channel too prior, it fits lol
I kind of like and hate the materia system I learn it when I play the remakes then forget then I have to relearn it again when the next part comes out
do old floppy - old demo disc episode dives n ill be your loyal subject, maybe even bromance favors too

that NES bootleg of FFVII has nothing to do with Square's SNES version of FFVII.
I think he's just using it to showcase what a SNES version of FF7 could've looked like.
@@supermariohack3218 yeah but it is clearly NES graphics and not SNES graphics.
I wish I could play every version they thought of
