Thank you guys for joining me on my FF7 journey! Even though I haven't played og FF7, the characters and music are very much nostalgic to me ☺️ it's been ages since I played this type of combat, so I have to warm up 😂 EDIT: I also want to clarify that even though I played Crisis Core on my PSP when it first released, I never actually finished it 😅 I probably only played the first few chapters!

A friendly warning: In regards to spoilers, please be super wary of reading the comments while you're playing Final Fantasy 7. Especially because you'll probably attract a lot of new viewers starting this series, and a lot of them will spoil things easily and not care because of "the game is old" and "this is the most famous moment in gaming history" type of excuses.
@sagexsiren Probably not a bad idea to constantly reiterate that if you're asking rhetorical questions that you don't want answers. It's a struggle not to explain story stuff on this game because it's just so confusing the first time through. But it's supposed to be that way. You really won't get answers to all of your questions until part 3. Then the second time you play through the story, it's like a whole new game because you're playing it from a completely different perspective. I will also say that in my personal opinion, playing Crisis Core will spoil your Remake/Rebirth/Reunion playthroughs. If you don't want spoilers, don't do it. Don't even watch trailers. Trailers are targeted at OG fans and have spoilers for new players.
You only having played crisis core is gonna be a very interesting playthrough for you. But I can tell your really gonna enjoy the game! If I can leave any piece of advice going forward is that juggling characters can become overwhelming especially when you get a party of 3 but having the ability to slow time while in the command menu gives you plenty of time to plan and think. Looking forward to upcoming vods :D
It's been so long since I played it though, it will be like playing it for the first time 😅 I'm practically going into the story for this series without really knowing much! Last game I played that incorporated the party was FF Type-0... it's also been a while since I've played that lol, but hopefully I can get the hang of it in this game, and I will definitely utilize the slow time while in the command menu! 😄
I just finished watching your ff 16 play through and I am beyond exited to see you go on this journey. Favorite game of all time, enjoy! I know you will love it!
Yoooo Sage! i had no idea you would be starting the next FF so quickly! lmao isnt that an amazing surprise. Im so pumped! I would like to give you some pointers (non spoiler of course but feel free to ignore this next part) 1. Unlike FF16 this game is a combination of action and tactical combat. Centered around ATB, which you need to perform most actions. 2. Attacking will deal some damage but its main purpose is to build ATB to use abilities, magics and items (which is where the most damage will come from) 3. "Focused" labeled abilities are best used on "pressured" enemies. They deal ok damage but they do massive stagger damage. Magics are also good for this. 4. Blocking will reduce damage received, Cloud's block in "Punisher mode" actually counters most physical attacks which is broken. And thats about it. I Love this game and the sequel just came out and its just as amazing. I hope you enjoy this run!
Haha honestly I haven't recovered from FF16 😂 but I'm excited to start this series!! I appreciate the tips! 🤗 it's been ages since I played combat similar to this, so I will be focused on improving and understand the system! I'm so used to dodging, I really need to get used to blocking 😅
So glad you’re playing this game. This game and Rebirth which just came out have my favorite combat system in any video game ever. It’s a blend between turn based and real time action. That’s why it must feel different than 16 for you. You have to think about a lot concerning the combat. Like taking into account the enemies weaknesses, things like buffs, debuffs, status ailments, party members etc. They’re all in this game and they matter. It’s like the traditional Final Fantasy games which were turned into based. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You’re in for an epic journey
It's been sooooo long since I've played combat similar to this, so it's taking some time to get used to 😅 real time action combat comes so natural to me and is my preferred combat, but I'm definitely enjoying this!! I'm excited to get into the story of the whole 7 series! 🙌🏼
Everytime I watch someone play FF7 I just rejoice. Got into final fantasy through the 7 remake when the pandemic started it was the perfect game to get lost in and absolutely fell in love with the cast and now I'm obsessed with FF7 specifically. Watched advent children played crisis core and halfway through Rebirth and it's a ride
Oh my, the characters are great! I've been so entertained by them 😂 between 16 and 7, I've grown attached to the characters and love them so much! But I totally get it, I've been pretty obsessed with FF16 since completing it! So did you enjoy playing Crisis Core before Rebirth? That's what the devs recommend but everyone is telling me not to do it 😅
@@sagexsiren yes i played crisis core after remake and It really made me appreciate zack's character. personally i would play crisis core before rebirth because square enix did release it before Rebirth came out which makes me believe it was intended to. granted there are plot points that are in crisis core that the og FF7 dealt with but for the remake i feel its fine for playing it before Rebirth
@@dstroxp I thought so! That was the order the devs recommended. Did you feel like the plot spoiled the story for you? That's what everyone is warning me about 😅 I honestly don't want to wait for the 3rd game to come out before playing Crisis Core, that would be too long of a wait for me lol. I also won't be playing og FF7 (because I hate turn-based 😬)
@@sagexsiren no didn't feel spoiled at all as there are many twists and turns in the story and I feel youll be fine in that regard yes itll probably be another 4 or 5 years befor part 3 drops 😅
Squaresoft (as I know them, sorry I'm leveled up😁) has always had and still do have some of the best graphical artists in the biz. Even going back to the PS1 games they still amaze. FF7 is my favorite and will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for the great beginning to the series😊
Oh man the good ol' ps1 days 😆 Ehrgeiz was my introduction to the FF7 characters. But, Kingdom Hearts is that for me lol! Brings me so many fond memories 😊 and will always have a place in my heart 🥹
@@Cloud_Strife0811 aww I never got to play all of them 🥲my last console was a PS2 and PSP so I played both KH1 & KH2 and Birth by Sleep. After getting my PS5, I purchased the bundle with all the games, so I'm excited to play them Gahh I'm excited for KH4!!
@@sagexsiren I hope you enjoy them. Just a little heads up. Re:Coded and 358/2 days aren't playable, they're just cutscenes😢 BUMMER. If you decide to play the KH collection on stream I will definitely watch. Gonna have your hands full with the VII collection though😂
@@Cloud_Strife0811 aww man 😮💨 good to know! I have considered playing the KH series for the channel 😂 at least I know one person will watch! But I agree, VII may take up my whole year lol
1:18:21 - They were Shock Troopers. Yeah, the way to deal with really aggressive bitches like that who also love to dodge your attacks is to block their attacks while in Punisher Mode, which unleashes a devastating counterattack when they strike you, effectively turning their own aggressiveness against them. This only works whilst in Punisher Mode. Blocking in Operator Mode is just normal blocking.
Great to see you embarking on this journey, Sage 😊 If I recall correctly, the original Final Fantasy VII was one of the first games I bought with my own money back then; I had a paper route when I was a teen, and FF VII cost me about half of a months pay! 😁 It was well worth it though, since the game (and the memories) have stayed with me since 🥰 And I really enjoyed the remake as well; I have not played Rebirth yet; I bought it, but I have not got the time to play it until summertime, most likely 😄😊 And as far as the crush goes, who can blame you? 😄😉🥰
I love how vividly you remember your younger days with FFVII!! Thanks for sharing! 🤗 Square Enix knows what they're doing with their character creations because they have some of the most GORGEOUS characters! 😍
I don’t usually smash the like button before the video starts, but this is a very special case. I love watching newcomers, especially to this game specifically start this game, I was new, but I’m not great at expressing my emotions and it’s cool to see others. FFVII Remake is so good you’re the first person in my subscriptions confirmed they were going to play Crisis Core as well❤ which makes me happy, and will stress me out less😂 But I hope you enjoy this game so much it’s so good it’s so freaking good, I don’t care how much people say rebirth is better - I mean this is just the start of the journey but these characters are amazing so it’s just delightful to spend time with them. And the music. I have never played a video game where I was moved by the music as much as in this one. These tracks are mind blowing.❤ Happy Easter btw Sage
Happy Easter! ❤ and I appreciate the smashing of the like button 😆 I'm really looking forward to learning the story and experiencing this series for the first time! And it's been AGES since I played the original Crisis Core, but sadly, I don't remember the story 😅 I know whenever I play a Final Fantasy game, I am in for some masterful music. I've always been a fan of FF music since I was a kid, so I know it's always going to be magnificent!
@@sagexsiren best decision I ever made with playing crisis core right after I finish the demo for rebirth, simply mind blowing, actually, I’m not quite done with it. I dropped it right after finishing a very specific mission in chapter 8 and now I’m trying to complete the game I think I was told there’s only 10 or maybe 12 chapters… But I hate being out of the loop, and I wasn’t even expecting to be shook 🤣🤣 I just wanted to know more about Zack
@@sagexsiren it’s a pretty much straightforward game, I’m pretty sure lots of people will tell you it’s pretty bad, but I think it’s really a fun way to at the very least gain more story knowledge, it’s definitely not anywhere near as complicated as remake or rebirth. It’s very self-contained. very much beatable within a few days time… Maybe two weeks if you’re really getting into it- I’m trying not to spoil anything
Poor girl going down the rabbit hole, that is Final Fantasy. It is a fun ride though. I look forward to you videos and thank you for sharing with us. Have fun, avoid spoilers, avoid back seaters. Just play how, and the way you want, enjoy the ride.
i love your play throughs, they are very authentic compared to most of streamers/gaming content creators. it’s like as if i was replaying the game from 0. keep the hard work!!!!❤️
1:46:00 Combat Tip: Go to punisher Mode and hold the block button. Cloud's counterattack in punisher mode eats melee attackers alive and fills your ATB. They will not have a chance. Edit* I think a few seconds after this time stamp, you also switch to punisher mode just as they were attacking and unintentionally did a parry that slaughtered one of them. Switching to punisher with perfect timing can also do this. 1:46:18
Well, watched the video, that was a great start... the battle with the Scorpion thing was so chaotic, good times 😄 ...I was trying to channel all my willpower to make you use the Phoenix down hehe
@@HamSolo-yy7xx haha aw man I did not sense it 🤣 Buuut, I also tend to save the items I have little of for later use 😅 and since I have an abundance of potions, that's my first choice lol
I just got into ff7 remake like in February and absolutely loved it!! Didn’t play the og but watched a ton of lore vids or just stuff that was important to know Then all a sudden I hear about a sequel and was going crazy 😂just beat rebirth last week with just about 100+ hours. Rebirth and remake definitely my favourite games for sure
I should definitely do my research on the lore since I didn't play the og myself 😂 I finished FF16 at almost 200 hours, so I'm sure I'll spend loads of time playing this series lol
Final fantsay 7 remake it's amazing, masterpiece and beautiful emotional ❤🎉 I love Cloud, Barret, Jessie, Biggs, Tifa, Marlene 🎉🎉🎉 That mystery woman florist cute ❤ And that creepy Sephiroth 🙀💥 I'm so freacking excited 😎🤘🏻 You're ready for final fantsay 7 rebirth 🎉🎉🎉 Let's gooooooooo 🎉🎉🎉
Happy Easter Sage if you do celebrate it and great video and I glad you playing this game it was my introduction to the story and word of FF7 and I played this game when it first came out and loved it
Bit older video, so not sure if you'll see this but... You noticed the lack of life and said the city is located in a desert. One detail I feel like the game doesn't quite drive home hard enough is that the mako reactors MAKE the land a desert. Consuming the lifestream like the reactors do quite literally drains the very life out of the surrounding area. So, it wasn't always a desert.
Oh so you're finally playing THIS! Well you're gonna love it😉👍🏿 All you need to know about Cloud right now is that he's really a lost man who doesn't exactly have his priorities in order acting like this rude closed off Ex-SOLDIER who only cares about money. He also has a fractured mind that's causing haunting hallucinations of that guy Sephiroth who's obviously a dark enemy of his past.
Yessir!!! and I do vaguely remember that Cloud is dealing with trauma and a fractured mind or memory loss. Definitely look forward to learning more about his character! 🙌🏼
@@gibbs615 yes lol that's why I was agreeing with you about Cloud 😂 but I haven't played OG7, I've only watched Advent Children and played Crisis Core on PSP. But that was ages ago, so I don't remember much about the characters or story
@@gibbs615 why would you want to spoil yourself?? The mysteries of the plot of FF7 are so important for the dramatic tension and the character arcs. Let her discover it for herself, ffs!
Hey sagexsiren, Nice video and a gameplay! Do the 3rd gameplays like Quantum Break, Little Nightmares & Little Nightmares 2, Callisto Protocol, Haunting Ground, Catherine, Bendy and the Ink Machine, The Medium and Detroit Become Human Do them PRETTY PLEASE! PRETTY 😍🥰
Glad to see you start your FF7 journey. I would recommend not playing crisis core (again) without playing the original as it will contain spoilers for both the original and the remakes. Spoilers that many people will already know, but if you are new to the story crisis core will definitely ruin a few things as its a prequel to the original game.
I Recommend not playing Crisis Core until after Part 3 is out. There are some major twists/reveals in Crisis Core that Remake & Rebirth intentionally won't tell you. So unless you don't wanna get spoiled, I suggest waiting until Part 3 is out since there going to save the reveals there!
This game is full of beautifull people yet Cloud still manages to be the most gorgeous out of them all, this man should be arrested for real. The way you use Cloud is far better than most people that play the game because most completly forget about his punisher mode, the ideal way to use Cloud is to think of him as a reactive type character using the counter of his punisher mode and right after that using focused thrust raises the stagger bar INSTANTLY and after they are staggered you just whale on them
My crush for him has never faltered 😂 he is indeed gorgeous!! I've noticed I'm naturally attracted to Cloud's punisher moves, and I finally got the counter down in the next video 😅 but I'm really enjoying my time learning the combat 😁
Hi Sage! Is there any chance we could watch you playing Life Is Strange? I really love this game and it would be so much fun to see the playthrough from your perspective!!
OG FF7 is the best game out of all you mentioned and you should play it. Tone, storytelling is completely different aswell as characters like Zack,Cloud and Aerith are basicaly retconed from their og versions. Also playing it og->rest is the best way - no spoilers but trust me.
@immortalart959 They are 50/50 at best. The characters are different to the point of Zack being a nice guy and not asshole style from og. Sephiroth introduction... is a joke compared to the masterpiece of og. The Remake would be ok as a game if it hadnt so much padding. Cutscenes are great and characters but the midgard part is too stretched out. They could've ended in Kalm and it would be better. Gameplay wise remake is a 7/10 for the dungeon layout It isn't nowhere near greatest game discussion.
@@wmen48 There's no way they could have done Sephiroth the same way in the remake series. Nobody knew who he was in 1997 so his mysterious identity in the game fit well. Not showing him till later worked because players had no idea who he was. In 2024 he's almost a household name in video-games, people know him from KH, Smash Bros, etc. Hiding him and saving his reveal would make no sense. In that regard they handled his character perfectly, introducing him early as a daunting, manipulative and nebulous figure who's toying with Cloud's mind. As far as other main characters like Zack, Aerith, etc... they have much more character, nuance, and fleshed out personalities in the remake series, especially Rebirth. Just because Zack is nice and not an a-hole doesn't somehow make his character worse. They've expanded on every character and deepened their relationships compared to OG.
@@ocean_0602 perfectly? He's a mustache twirling villain. I get that in rebirth he starts to manipulate Cloud better, in remake... appearence for appearence sake. Dumb monologues of nonsense. If they would do less is more and give a couple more things like with Tifa that would be great.
That's just me thinking out loud and asking hypothetical questions so you guys know my thought process 😁 I'm not actually asking for an answer and don't want spoilers 🙏🏼
Crisis Core spoils and ruins FFVII's story. Personally, I don't like Crisis Core at all because of that and other things I can't talk about here without revealing too much. I know I'm in the minority not liking at all, but I don't think anyone can deny the spoiler part. So at least hold off until you've played the main games, if you don't want FFVII's plot twists revealed that is. I know you said that you've already played it but don't remember much, which is good in that case.
I’m so happy 🥰 I hope you have a amazing experience with this game! It’s such a special game to me and I’m so happy to see you getting to experience it! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and have a great week!

@@sagexsiren best decision I ever made with playing crisis core right after I finish the demo for rebirth, simply mind blowing, actually, I’m not quite done with it. I dropped it right after finishing a very specific mission in chapter 8 and now I’m trying to complete the game I think I was told there’s only 10 or maybe 12 chapters…
But I hate being out of the loop, and I wasn’t even expecting to be shook 🤣🤣 I just wanted to know more about Zack
@@brieezy. let me know what you think of Crisis Core when you're done!
@@sagexsiren it’s a pretty much straightforward game, I’m pretty sure lots of people will tell you it’s pretty bad, but I think it’s really a fun way to at the very least gain more story knowledge, it’s definitely not anywhere near as complicated as remake or rebirth. It’s very self-contained. very much beatable within a few days time… Maybe two weeks if you’re really getting into it- I’m trying not to spoil anything
Found out you’re currently feeling the Clerith ship on Twitter and had to check you out. Hopefully I’ll catch up with your journey shortly.
I hope you enjoy my playthrough!! I've been loving it so far
Poor girl going down the rabbit hole, that is Final Fantasy.
It is a fun ride though.
I look forward to you videos and thank you for sharing with us.
Have fun, avoid spoilers, avoid back seaters. Just play how, and the way you want, enjoy the ride.
I don't mind going down the rabbit hole 😆 I shall enjoy the journey! Appreciate the pointers 😊 and thank you for your support! 💖
i love your play throughs, they are very authentic compared to most of streamers/gaming content creators.
it’s like as if i was replaying the game from 0.
keep the hard work!!!!❤️
Aww thank you for the kind words!!
Hi sage u really are going to enjoy this game and thank you for the hard work,edits and uploads u did for us this week we love youuu💯🔥
Aww I appreciate and love you guys so much thank you for the support, and I hope you enjoy!!!
Loved the original game and had a fun time with this one. Hope you do to, Sage
1:46:00 Combat Tip: Go to punisher Mode and hold the block button. Cloud's counterattack in punisher mode eats melee attackers alive and fills your ATB. They will not have a chance.
Edit* I think a few seconds after this time stamp, you also switch to punisher mode just as they were attacking and unintentionally did a parry that slaughtered one of them. Switching to punisher with perfect timing can also do this. 1:46:18
And so it begins...
What's this? A third new series all at once? You're spoiling us 😊
It's because I love you guys!! 🥰💖
Hah, it's appreciated and the feeling is mutual ofc
Well, watched the video, that was a great start... the battle with the Scorpion thing was so chaotic, good times 😄 ...I was trying to channel all my willpower to make you use the Phoenix down hehe
@@HamSolo-yy7xx haha aw man I did not sense it 🤣 Buuut, I also tend to save the items I have little of for later use 😅 and since I have an abundance of potions, that's my first choice lol
I just got into ff7 remake like in February and absolutely loved it!! Didn’t play the og but watched a ton of lore vids or just stuff that was important to know Then all a sudden I hear about a sequel and was going crazy 😂just beat rebirth last week with just about 100+ hours. Rebirth and remake definitely my favourite games for sure
I should definitely do my research on the lore since I didn't play the og myself 😂 I finished FF16 at almost 200 hours, so I'm sure I'll spend loads of time playing this series lol
@@sagexsiren I love 16 im replaying it again now!
@@Gamesnvibes ENJOY!!! I will replay on NG+ but I'm waiting till after Rising Tide is released so I can play it again with the new Eikonic ability
Final fantsay 7 remake it's amazing, masterpiece and beautiful emotional ❤🎉
I love Cloud, Barret, Jessie, Biggs, Tifa, Marlene 🎉🎉🎉
That mystery woman florist cute ❤
And that creepy Sephiroth 🙀💥
I'm so freacking excited 😎🤘🏻
You're ready for final fantsay 7 rebirth 🎉🎉🎉
Let's gooooooooo 🎉🎉🎉
Yesshhh I'm so excited for this series!!! Love all the characters 😍🔥🙌🏼
@@sagexsiren 😍❤🎉
This is a really fun playthrough to watch can’t wait for more!
Happy Easter Sage if you do celebrate it and great video and I glad you playing this game it was my introduction to the story and word of FF7 and I played this game when it first came out and loved it
Happy Easter Nicholas!! That is so awesome!! I'm really looking forward to playing and connecting with the characters ☺️
You're definitely going to enjoy yourself through this journey. Don't forget after remake, next is the intergrade DLC! Have fun!
Of course!!! We can't forget the cutie YUFFIE!!! 🥰
Bit older video, so not sure if you'll see this but...
You noticed the lack of life and said the city is located in a desert. One detail I feel like the game doesn't quite drive home hard enough is that the mako reactors MAKE the land a desert. Consuming the lifestream like the reactors do quite literally drains the very life out of the surrounding area. So, it wasn't always a desert.
You were doing so well lol! You really didn't see those barriers when the scorpion was charging the tail laser? Lol
Haha OMG I didn't hear what Cloud said at that moment, so I had NO IDEA I had to hide behind the objects 🤣🤦🏽♀
LETS GOO sadly playing Crisis core before Ff7 isnt the best idea it spoils a huge twist
Well I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I never finished Crisis Core and don't remember any of it lol 😂 so I think I'm good on the spoilers
Oh so you're finally playing THIS! Well you're gonna love it😉👍🏿
All you need to know about Cloud right now is that he's really a lost man who doesn't exactly have his priorities in order acting like this rude closed off Ex-SOLDIER who only cares about money. He also has a fractured mind that's causing haunting hallucinations of that guy Sephiroth who's obviously a dark enemy of his past.
Yessir!!! and I do vaguely remember that Cloud is dealing with trauma and a fractured mind or memory loss. Definitely look forward to learning more about his character! 🙌🏼
@@sagexsiren Yeah that's what I said that Cloud has a fractured mind problem. Also you must've played the OG FF7 game before.
@@gibbs615 yes lol that's why I was agreeing with you about Cloud 😂 but I haven't played OG7, I've only watched Advent Children and played Crisis Core on PSP. But that was ages ago, so I don't remember much about the characters or story
@@sagexsiren Oh I see😂 Well you could always look at a playthrough movie of the OG FF7 on here😉
@@gibbs615 why would you want to spoil yourself?? The mysteries of the plot of FF7 are so important for the dramatic tension and the character arcs. Let her discover it for herself, ffs!
I'm ready for this sage
It's going to be a BLAST!!! 🙌🏼🔥
Final Fantasy 7 is a great soundtrack that happens to have a game.
Haha I'd say that is most FF games 😄 I've been a fan of FF music since I was a kid, even if I didn't play most games
New subscriber here! Love watching you play; really hope you post your playthrough of ff7 rebirth as well!
I definitely will!!!
Hey sagexsiren, Nice video and a gameplay! Do the 3rd gameplays like Quantum Break, Little Nightmares & Little Nightmares 2, Callisto Protocol, Haunting Ground, Catherine, Bendy and the Ink Machine, The Medium and Detroit Become Human Do them PRETTY PLEASE! PRETTY 😍🥰
Glad to see you start your FF7 journey. I would recommend not playing crisis core (again) without playing the original as it will contain spoilers for both the original and the remakes. Spoilers that many people will already know, but if you are new to the story crisis core will definitely ruin a few things as its a prequel to the original game.
Love your videos
Looking forward to your thoughts on this Remake. The OG FF7 is an absolute classic. Hope you enjoy these playthroughs!
Thank you!!
I Recommend not playing Crisis Core until after Part 3 is out. There are some major twists/reveals in Crisis Core that Remake & Rebirth intentionally won't tell you. So unless you don't wanna get spoiled, I suggest waiting until Part 3 is out since there going to save the reveals there!
This game is full of beautifull people yet Cloud still manages to be the most gorgeous out of them all, this man should be arrested for real.
The way you use Cloud is far better than most people that play the game because most completly forget about his punisher mode, the ideal way to use Cloud is to think of him as a reactive type character using the counter of his punisher mode and right after that using focused thrust raises the stagger bar INSTANTLY and after they are staggered you just whale on them
My crush for him has never faltered 😂 he is indeed gorgeous!! I've noticed I'm naturally attracted to Cloud's punisher moves, and I finally got the counter down in the next video 😅 but I'm really enjoying my time learning the combat 😁
Hi Sage! Is there any chance we could watch you playing Life Is Strange? I really love this game and it would be so much fun to see the playthrough from your perspective!!
It's on my list of games to play! 🤗
Things the game doesn't tell you...
Block while in punisher mode to counter attack.
hold L1 to use multiple items/spells when not in battle.
OG FF7 is the best game out of all you mentioned and you should play it. Tone, storytelling is completely different aswell as characters like Zack,Cloud and Aerith are basicaly retconed from their og versions. Also playing it og->rest is the best way - no spoilers but trust me.
@immortalart959 They are 50/50 at best. The characters are different to the point of Zack being a nice guy and not asshole style from og. Sephiroth introduction... is a joke compared to the masterpiece of og. The Remake would be ok as a game if it hadnt so much padding. Cutscenes are great and characters but the midgard part is too stretched out. They could've ended in Kalm and it would be better. Gameplay wise remake is a 7/10 for the dungeon layout It isn't nowhere near greatest game discussion.
@@wmen48 There's no way they could have done Sephiroth the same way in the remake series. Nobody knew who he was in 1997 so his mysterious identity in the game fit well. Not showing him till later worked because players had no idea who he was. In 2024 he's almost a household name in video-games, people know him from KH, Smash Bros, etc. Hiding him and saving his reveal would make no sense. In that regard they handled his character perfectly, introducing him early as a daunting, manipulative and nebulous figure who's toying with Cloud's mind.
As far as other main characters like Zack, Aerith, etc... they have much more character, nuance, and fleshed out personalities in the remake series, especially Rebirth. Just because Zack is nice and not an a-hole doesn't somehow make his character worse. They've expanded on every character and deepened their relationships compared to OG.
@@ocean_0602 perfectly? He's a mustache twirling villain. I get that in rebirth he starts to manipulate Cloud better, in remake... appearence for appearence sake. Dumb monologues of nonsense. If they would do less is more and give a couple more things like with Tifa that would be great.
6:50 telling you would ruin the story, that plays a really big part in the main story.
That's just me thinking out loud and asking hypothetical questions so you guys know my thought process 😁 I'm not actually asking for an answer and don't want spoilers 🙏🏼
Good Morning Princess Sage how are you is Morning
Hellooo Steve, hope you enjoyed your weekend! Have an amazing week! 😊
@@sagexsiren
You have a great week also sage good job on your first play through of that game
@@steveelamon803 Thank you!!
cloud would crush u too. i can tell
@@xtaticvibeclout I would not mind that one bit lol 😂
Crisis Core spoils and ruins FFVII's story. Personally, I don't like Crisis Core at all because of that and other things I can't talk about here without revealing too much. I know I'm in the minority not liking at all, but I don't think anyone can deny the spoiler part. So at least hold off until you've played the main games, if you don't want FFVII's plot twists revealed that is. I know you said that you've already played it but don't remember much, which is good in that case.
I’m so happy 🥰 I hope you have a amazing experience with this game! It’s such a special game to me and I’m so happy to see you getting to experience it! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and have a great week!
Thank you, my dear! I look forward to falling in love with this game, like I did FF16 I hope you have an amazing week and take time for self care 🙏🏼💖
New subscriber pls play all the uncharted series
Will do! Thanks for the recommendation, and welcome!
