Remember the end of season 1 when Tifa said that Cloud felt safe when she was around and Cloud snapped at her? I don’t think she’s wrong after this season :)
@@bigmcdick4916 I think Tifa's portrayal has been very well done the whole series. Tifa liked Cloud since she was little, but she kept it to herself. Meanwhile Cloud had a massive crush on Tifa, but he felt shun by her and her friends and decided to joined SOLDIER. Additionally, Tifa is suppose to be very guarded and unlikely to share her feelings after all the things that happened to her. So she is always putting a "tough girl" image, which abridge does marvellously well. Tifa's ability to hide her feelings from liking having Cloud around can be seen from ep1.
Evangeliman never player the game, but the story is like the part of the Bible to PS1-era kids. Know most of it in bites so i could je hyped and excited for the right things
16:43 Anyone else notice how Tifa was forced out of the room after she said “f*** your suit”? Something tells me Rufus finally snapped and told the guards to just kill her as soon as possible. 😂
Details, man. This abridged series has better character consistency than actual serious movies and TV shows. For example, when Red XIII first says he "smells the cosmos" Barret scoffs at him like everyone else. When he gets lost with the black materia in here he casually says "I think I just sniffed the cosmos". That speaks levels of how fond Barret has become of Red XIII.
If they do this for Dirge of Cerberus, I need them to have every single "I'm so sorry!" Lucretcia uttered in that game 😂. You would be dead if you took a drink every time she said it...and I need Tifa to take that up as a challenge, lol.
often the somber scenes end up as joke setups, too. its more like a back n forth with the later seasons of TFS dubs and i like it since i think it makes the jokes paced out better i love jokes with buildup
I have to say, that his Abridged Series made me care more for the story than the OG did. No discredit to the OG, but after I played the Remake and now followed this series, I have to say, that the characters in this abridged series are superior to the Remake and OG (in my opinion). Of course, one could say, it's because of the humor and overexaggeration. But it's more than that. You made me care so much more about the characters and I love every single character, especially Red and Tifa. Tifa for me has the best arc in the series. She's this loud mouth girl, who gets in everybodes face just to insault them, yet she knows she can be an annoying brat and works on it during the series. She develops empathy for Yuffie and Cloud and deeply, she cares for everybody on her team, especially Cloud. I like that. From "SHOULDER! DEEP! CLOUD!" to "Do you even have to ask?". Fucking perfect. Can't wait for the next season. :)
Yeah, at first I hated the decisions on Tifa, but it actually served the story to make Tifa very unlikeable and Aerith very likeable first, and then have Tifa soften up later on. In the OG and the Remake, Tifa and Aerith are already both nice and besties even. Here, it is worked towards and deserved. From _STOP FUCKING FLIRTING!_ To being the last one to leave her grave and leaving flowers to her deathbed with red eyes. EDIT: You did literally the same with the second last sentence. Wow.
It's funny, if we take out the funny one liners and curse words in the abridged, we basically got anime-worthy voice acting with storytelling to surpass a movie. I mean, if you want to make an anime or manga of F.Fantasy Seven just take the people from this abridged and tell them ''do this but more in a more serious tone and tone some of the jokes down a bit''.
It’s engaging in its own way and purely subjective, but I can understand why some people would feel that way. The lack of voice acting in the original might bore some people but at the time that was commonplace in video games as a whole, especially with RPGs. So that means that there is a different “version” so to speak for everyone after the read dialogue. This is an even more imaginative take on that, and the storytelling is good in its own right especially as a piece of comedy. I prefer the original and the remake, but I also hold this as a work on its own merits and it was surprisingly good. It’s definitely a feat in of itself to take a likeable character, rewrite that character into someone unlikable, then sufficiently write well thought out character development within the constraints of prioritizing comedy while simultaneously incorporating key aspects of the original characters as they were conceived and then reinventing those aspects and their interactions with each other. It wasn’t a quality that I would have expected from a fan group. It actually surpasses writing from some professional releases of media that I’ve seen often elsewhere in very predictable and formulaic ways. As you noted, Tifa had the most significant changes whereas everyone else more or less stayed themselves but with more humorous dialogue incorporated into their interactions. The other thing being that the story progression of this abridged series occurs more quickly due to not having to level up characters and materia, do side quests, etc. so it keeps the pacing moving along to an extent which is unique unto itself since you’re not playing a video game (an RPG from the 90’s no less). I enjoy them all greatly for entirely different reasons. This was refreshing for me regardless due to how difficult it becomes for me to take an interest in anything or become invested or feel desire for bothering at all the older that I get year after year. I end up going years at a time without being interested in anything at all, so finding this was a pleasant surprise. Evaluating the differences in their work compared to the original and the remake sort of…”rekindled” (for lack of a more appropriate word) some things for me from “way back when” I guess? Anhedonia has steadily gotten worse over the past few years in a highly regressive way so anything that helps is always welcome. This abridged series rejuvenated my interest in the game (the remake did to though it sort of had to “grow on me” before I became genuinely excited). Prior to that I hadn’t really given much thought (if any at all) to FF7 in over almost 17-18 years.
Austin Felton I hate that in the game it’s a slap fight instead of Tifa giving her that one good right hook. Made no sense to me so seeing this is all sorts of satisfying.
Teamfourstar is sooooo much great content this is probably my favorite 1: Final fantasy abridged 2: Fallout 4 3: DBZ abridged 4: Hellsing 5: Krillen plays alien isolation
@@chrisramos3454 ...I kinda don't like that Idea, frankly. It's like saying we should forget the original....ironically when the Remake unfortunately RELIES on knowledge of the original for appreciation of its story, given that it's officially going the cosmic retcon route, which, for something that's MEANT to be a remake, i'm rather skeevy on. Not saying the cosmic retcon is bad, but it doesn't belong in a REMAKE.
@@reyonXIII it seems you confuse remake and remaster because usually a remake implies there will be big changes from the original that includes the story but ok
@@chrisramos3454 I think people are the ones getting confused and using "remake" as an excuse to give the definitely deviating points a pass. For comparison, let's look at an older remake of an old FF, IV for the DS. THAT is a proper remake. While it makes minor deviations here and there for characterization purposes that further enrich the story of the game and gameplay, it never goes so far as create something potentially alters the trajectory of the story in another direction, or at least creates something that distracts from the story as the Whispers and Sephiroth's extremely early arrival do. Were this a proper remake, the final boss should've been a souped up Motor Ball or even an entirely new Shinra mech is the last thing that separates AVALANCHE from outside Midgar. NOTHING Sephiroth involved. That was part of the mystery of the original. The Final Fantasy IV remake on the DS is why I cannot consider VII to be a proper remake anymore.
@@chrisramos3454 A remaster is meant to clean up the audio and graphics of a game without actually creating new assets, plus minor changes to the UI. A remake is supposed to remake the game from the ground up with a new engine while staying as true to the original as possible, you might add some quests and lore and tweeks some things here and there, but it has to still be the same game, the best remake ever made so far and the greatest example of how a remake should be made is Resident Evil 1 REbirth. What you're talking about, ie remaking a game AND changing the story is not called a remake, it's called a reboot. Final Fantasy VII Remake is none of these: -It made from the ground up in a new engine, so it's not a remaster. -It's not a remake because the story is undertaking major changes. -It's not a reboot because the original story is not erased in favor of the new one, its story still acknowledge the existence of the original game. It's basically a sequel, but since most of it is the same as the original, you have to come up with a new word to define what this is. I define it as a Requel, a contraction of a remake and a sequel.
The news part is hilarious. Tom makes so much sense XD Can't see the exact second it starts on, so I'll just say it begins a few seconds before the 13 minute mark.

@@kaedox you know, i had always assumed it was oil. but most of the plot makes more sense actually... yeah, radiation is a bit more spot on with some of its affects. maybe a little combo of the worst aspects of both?
@@MSCDonkeyKong Mako to me always had an oil meats nuclear parody. I mean the reactors remind me of nuclear making materia "that gives you magic powers" but on top of that, the life stream hints of being oil. Oil to me makes more sense as the planets "blood".

Cait Siths speech is sooooo good ❤️ It’s awesome how TFS made me care about a character I didn’t really give to much of a crap in the og. In the abridged Cait Sith is one of my favorite characters 😍

Austin Felton I hate that in the game it’s a slap fight instead of Tifa giving her that one good right hook. Made no sense to me so seeing this is all sorts of satisfying.
Orcaluv26 Yeah all people who don’t believe in God are in denial 🙄
27:22 Just imagining Reeve shouting on the other side through Cait Sith during this makes so much sense and is hilarious
Be honest, “dream of becoming a god his...Final Fantasy” was a Taka joke, right?
Teamfourstar is sooooo much great content this is probably my favorite
1: Final fantasy abridged
2: Fallout 4
3: DBZ abridged
4: Hellsing
5: Krillen plays alien isolation
Krillin plays outlast and the dbz game with tien vs buu. The latter is perfection.
so were just gonna ignore cloud throwing sepheroth with the power of vitamin D 43:45
So since the remake is going the alternative reality route, this is now canon
I thought the compilation of ff7 became non-canon. I mean they said that ff7 was going be built for a new era so...
@@chrisramos3454 ...I kinda don't like that Idea, frankly. It's like saying we should forget the original....ironically when the Remake unfortunately RELIES on knowledge of the original for appreciation of its story, given that it's officially going the cosmic retcon route, which, for something that's MEANT to be a remake, i'm rather skeevy on.
Not saying the cosmic retcon is bad, but it doesn't belong in a REMAKE.
@@reyonXIII it seems you confuse remake and remaster because usually a remake implies there will be big changes from the original that includes the story but ok
@@chrisramos3454 I think people are the ones getting confused and using "remake" as an excuse to give the definitely deviating points a pass.
For comparison, let's look at an older remake of an old FF, IV for the DS.
THAT is a proper remake.
While it makes minor deviations here and there for characterization purposes that further enrich the story of the game and gameplay, it never goes so far as create something potentially alters the trajectory of the story in another direction, or at least creates something that distracts from the story as the Whispers and Sephiroth's extremely early arrival do.
Were this a proper remake, the final boss should've been a souped up Motor Ball or even an entirely new Shinra mech is the last thing that separates AVALANCHE from outside Midgar. NOTHING Sephiroth involved. That was part of the mystery of the original.
The Final Fantasy IV remake on the DS is why I cannot consider VII to be a proper remake anymore.
@@chrisramos3454
A remaster is meant to clean up the audio and graphics of a game without actually creating new assets, plus minor changes to the UI.
A remake is supposed to remake the game from the ground up with a new engine while staying as true to the original as possible, you might add some quests and lore and tweeks some things here and there, but it has to still be the same game, the best remake ever made so far and the greatest example of how a remake should be made is Resident Evil 1 REbirth.
What you're talking about, ie remaking a game AND changing the story is not called a remake, it's called a reboot.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is none of these:
-It made from the ground up in a new engine, so it's not a remaster.
-It's not a remake because the story is undertaking major changes.
-It's not a reboot because the original story is not erased in favor of the new one, its story still acknowledge the existence of the original game.
It's basically a sequel, but since most of it is the same as the original, you have to come up with a new word to define what this is. I define it as a Requel, a contraction of a remake and a sequel.
It's taken me too long to realise the moment Cloud says "Lots of ups" was over a clip of Red while "high", and I appreciate that so damn much!
"Tifa... I say this with zero humorous intent. Cloud... he f**cked up."
Me: Burst out laughing anyway
When Sephiroth is revealing the truth, anyone else notice the cameraman still blinks? Isn't he... oh, I dunno... DEAD?!
Yeah that happened in the game too, so creepy haha
Nope, he's dying, but not quite dead is all.
He’s basically in stasis.
AVALANCHE SPPPEEEEDDDD!!!!
‘man, wish i can use this speed when i drive’
“Just getting over an identity crisis is all” I felt that.
Who else is here to binge watch the series after the final movie release date was announced?
Me
Movie?
Huh? What did I miss?
The news part is hilarious. Tom makes so much sense XD
Can't see the exact second it starts on, so I'll just say it begins a few seconds before the 13 minute mark.
12:56
Maybe it's because Cloud has Midoriya's voice actor, but I can't help but think of Cid as some sort of Old Man Bakugo 😂
FINALLY someone else saying they noticed
That's clever
Lol clever🤣
I’d read that comic
Except not a raging pyromaniac with a hate boner for everything that isn’t him.
I am so greatful for this. You guys are hilarious and still kept the story of the actual game. I couldn't wait for this full season to come out. Really looking forward to the rest 💪
9:52 Rufus: "Cid old boy! How's the unemployment line?"
Cid: "Not as long as your daddy's shadow you've been standing under.... ya bitch"
I fucking love Cid. He has the greatest responses.
I CANT BELIEVE YOU LOUSY BASTARDS made such a wonderful piece of work! Absolutely loving it, and thank you so much for your hard work!
Zack: You are my living legacy.
*Cries*
Ahhh yes everyone forgets that clouds mother was Hispanic and had her last name as his middle cloud “Ramirez” Strife
Nah, the mother's surname goes second in Spanish names (i.e. [father's surname] de [mother's maiden name])
@@RabblesTheBinx oh well the clouds father was Hispanic then
Cloud- Barret promise me something.... don't f**k up ok.
Barret- Damn Cloud.... you alright.
i can't fucking breatheeeeee AHAHAHAH
"That's a whole lot of WHATTHEFUCKERY to unpack!", best line in the season. xD 3:30
I'm genuinely curious about what happens when Mako energy is exposed in space and where that bit of lore was going.
Mako is a nuclear energy analogy
radiation's not the best
@@kaedox you know, i had always assumed it was oil. but most of the plot makes more sense
actually... yeah, radiation is a bit more spot on with some of its affects. maybe a little combo of the worst aspects of both?
Mario Strikers Charged Donkey Kong it created TANKCERATOPS
@@MSCDonkeyKong Mako to me always had an oil meats nuclear parody. I mean the reactors remind me of nuclear making materia "that gives you magic powers" but on top of that, the life stream hints of being oil. Oil to me makes more sense as the planets "blood".
Anyone else planning on playing through FF7 Remake using the battle parties Machinabridged used?
I just wonder how the remake is going to handle Cloud's crossdressing! Let's face it: 99% of the guys in Final Fantasy (and JRPGs in general) are prettier than the girls, so...yeah...
@@Gyarren They removed it
@@dtrain8530 no , there is in the remake , and looks beautifull
Probably.
@@dtrain8530
They did not remove it, you'll be playing dress up buddy.
"It's like you said, Barret: There ain't no getting this train off."
WHEEZE.
That lingering shot of the bouquet painfully reminds us of what we lost. We fight… for Aerith.
Tifa: Barrett, are you okay?
Barrett: I sense... A disturbance.
Cid: you let me take care of that.
Cloud: yeah good call.
Barrett: Fuck up averted.
I love that at the end of every season you can see how far they have leveled up
Cait Siths speech is sooooo good ❤️
It’s awesome how TFS made me care about a character I didn’t really give to much of a crap in the og. In the abridged Cait Sith is one of my favorite characters 😍
1:11:04 god, I can't get over that delivery from Vincent's VA, it's so good
Funnily enough, giving yuffie the black materia would make the most sense
Hell yeah! Now we can marathon the four available seasons back to back.😃
I love that they do this. It makes the pre-season binge watch so much easier
swag!
I love you guys. On point humor, awesome work, the best version of FF7 and its Charakters there is. I hope you never stop doing this and continue this - you guys left a legacy with that. Might even go further with FF8 and 9. I'd love to see that with all my heart.
This series has unironically made me understand the plot of FF7 way better
VII years later and I'm still listening to this like an audiobook. VII years later, it's still brings me joy.
"WELCOME TO EARTH BITCH!"
Cid you are a treasure.
“The joke is dead.”
Yeah, and so is Aerith! HAHAHA...Oh, I made myself sad. 😭
You sure did. Now, go sit in the corner, and think about what you've done! If you need me, I'll be grinding for when I kill Sephiroth.
12:55 By far the BEST News Segment in this whole series.
judgin from that thumbnail art, someone else feels the pain of the fill tool.
???
I actually understand this.
The news part with the scrolling news, "the editor who writes this....has been sacked", nice. Monty Python reference. :)
Haha nice spot.
