Basically had the same experience, and you said it better than I could. It's a terrible introduction into Final Fantasy, yet it kept me curious. As mixed as I was by the story, the gameplay hooked me enough, being a nice hybrid of real-time and strategy based gameplay. Although I can't even finish a second playthrough, I'm still interested enough to play the sequel. FF16 has come out since then and seems like a nice entry point for Final Fantasy, I wonder how you feel about that game?
I’m really no expert on making popular videos, but I would change the thumbnail. I’d just show FF7R and hope that a newbie like me or an og FF fan would see that as your first and be curious about how confused you were.
Clearly I'm no expert on making popular videos either, haha. Yeah, there's definitely a formula to YT thumbnails that I either didn't know about or obstinately refused to follow when I made this a few years ago. Probably the right move for views would just be to slap Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud on there and call it a day. As for FF16, I haven't played it. I'm fairly selective about my giant RPGs since I don't have all the time I'd like to play everything and this year's been an embarrassment of riches. My experience with FFVII Remake didn't make me a fan of the series, but I'll say this: I respect how the series keeps reinventing itself and throwing out new aesthetics and ideas. Thanks for watching!
