I think the graphics look better.
You can barely tell the difference but yeah I agree
I can't tell the difference if i'm being honest. I only ever played Remake Intergrade (never played the base PS4 version) and the graphics in Intergrade look like the graphics in Rebirth.
This is a good thing btw, the graphics in Intergrade were fantastic.
@@Karlach_It went over your head
@Way over their head 😂
Yeah the original looks old for some reason
You really have to squint to see the difference between these two
For sure
Not a bit... how dare they...
Even when squinting I can’t tell tbh
This was worse than The Last of Us Part 2 remastered
What are you doing here lol
Back when these types of graphics can only be considered “cinematic trailer” served for marketing purposes ,now they are in actual gameplay ,just wow
I love comparisons like these, really shows how far we've come.
😂😂😂 yeah games are just so much better now aren't they
@@user-ok3wi3yz6x Well I meant tech wise mostly but in some regards, yeah.
23:34 one of the best new renditions in the game! Had a huge smile in the third phase.
That battle theme has been stuck in my head for nearly 30 years lol
That's actually the Crab Warden theme from Remake. Source: It's been beaten into my ears over and over at high volume for the last 4 years.
Loved the comparison man thank you! Hope you do a comparison between the Dragon's Dogma games next.
Fantastic! I was hoping you’d make this comparison video
I remember playing Final Fantasy 15 way back in 2016 and thinking "If they remake Final Fantasy 7 they'll basically have to recreate the game world on THIS scale. There is basically no way we are getting that." Final Fantasy 15 was a game that was constantly defeated by its ambition to have the scope of a 1990s/2000s RPG, but the fidelity of a modern open world game. But old school RPGs cut corners with their world design in ways games like Spider-Man/Red Dead Redemption do not. Skies of Arcadia can have that huge map because it wasn't trying to be Black Flag where more stuff is seamless. Something is always going to give when you try to serve two masters like this.
Then comes FF7 Remake/Rebirth.
And when you consider the fact that they split FF7 Remake into three separate games, my old prediction was still technically correct. It could take us 8 years to get through FF7 because not only is this recreation adding a metric ton of new material, fully rendering all this stuff in 3D that was basically presented to gamers interpretively through map screens & pre-rendered drawings in the '90s is a massive undertaking in and of itself.
Part of me feels like FF15 walked to FF7R could run. Another part of me says this is the same situation as FF15 because Square Enix can't actually finish their over ambitious games on release, only now they're sticking you with a "to be continued" rather than scrambling to patch the holes with DLC. I'm still mad we never got all of Dawn of the Future.
Hi Nick930 first off I just want to say I’m a huge fan of your videos. I’ve been watching all of them for a couple years now and I just really loved them. I’m always happy when a new one comes out it’s always an event for me. With that said, I’m so glad you did the final fantasy seven videos. I just started Final Fantasy seven rebirth but I’m also playing dragons dogma two and I don’t know which one to play so I’m just going back-and-forth but maybe it would be cool to see a video like this with the two dragon dogma games. Thanks for the awesome videos. Keep up the good work! PS I don’t know if it’s just mine or there was some problem but I didn’t get any timestamps.
From Adrian from Canada
I absolutely love how you can see everyone in the buggy! Back in the early 2000s when I first played FF7 this something I always wished was possible. I used to draw my own plans for an FF style game and one thing that was very important was that you could see the characters in the vehicles
it's amazing how far technology in graphics has gone
Based on how the map in this game has tons of gaps and grey space and what the director has said in recent interviews about the Highwind in Part 3 I fully expect them to really focus on making part 3's world map completely cohesive. Maybe that's a dumb thought considering you would think they would get that technology figured out on the first try, but the way he described part 3 really made it sound like they are going to do that, and honestly I kind of think it's a great idea. Really make the Highwinds sense of complete freedom come alive.
The Highwind, with no corners cut, feels like it would be an insane technical challenge. Building the entire FF7 map to scale and letting you just fly anywhere? At the very least, I'm expecting some FF15 style invisible walls that stop you from getting close to Midgar.
The problem kinda is that Square Enix f'ed the whole implementation. I think it's okay to split in 3 parts but at the end it should be one game. Who needs the Highwind now? We have fast travel which replaced most of travel now.
@@crosis2 Well if you turn all the areas on the map that are still gray after Rebirth (which is a lot. Even in areas we technically 100%'d) into places only the Highwind can reach then you have a lot of game left that requires manual flight to access instead of fast travel. Islands in the ocean etc. I mean my guess is that they are going to just accept a level of abstraction here like the original. Meaning the planet will be relatively small and you will be able to encircle it just like the original. It will feel a little more realistic than the original in some ways i'm sure, but it will ultimately still require a suspension of disbelief. They tried with Midgar to make you believe you were in a massive city the size of what it would be in our world using a variety of techniques, but you kind of have to throw that out when you get into the open world. In reality the Grasslands would be much more massive, they wouldn't be basically empty, there wouldn't be 6 towns or whatever on the whole planet etc. This is afterall still a video game.
Just finished the game last night. It's easily my personal favorite game of all time. It finally took the top spot away from Xenogears for me after 26 years :D
It's a masterpiece
Of all time that tells me you haven't played many games
@@akiinmoonlight79a masterpiece of dog s***
You don’t mean that
@@user-ok3wi3yz6x Wow a sane person? Thanks for saying that, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!
I love this. Are you going to do a comparison with final fantasy 7 remake and rebirth?
I really enjoyed this game, although the amount of side content can get overwhelming, it's still the best game I've played this year followed by like a dragon infinite wealth
Side Content is great as i heard, and if there is alot of it is it bad? Its not like they forcing u to do it, its like Witcher 3
Fortunately the side content is pretty fun and when you activate a tower you only get like 2-4 icons on your map. It's not like Assassin's Creed where you get 12+ new icon on your map. lol
@@FIREDAN075
Side content is great! The only thing imo that I disliked was the towers and life crystal things that were all the same and kind of chorey because they offered nothing new.
Great analysis and comparison! I'm loving this game so far
Wish you would've said more about the exploration part. You said it's not as "open" as before, but I really want to know to what extent you can and can't explore the world, see certain places even before the story "officially" takes you there, etc. -- this is among the most important aspects of the PSOne era FFs, and it was dropped ever since FFX on PS2.
There's about 6 "open world" regions.
Grasslands
Junon
Costa Del Sol
Gongaga Jungles
Etc
Areas like the grasslands are fully explorable but are separated from areas like Junon through hidden loading screens. The cave connecting the two is huge so it makes grasslands and junon feel like totally seperate environments. The original game made it seem like the world map was all one massive environment
@@Nick930Oh, you reply! Thanks for clarifying some more :) But it seems that the game has mostly abandoned the feeling of true world exploration then, if it feels like disconnected areas.
In the earlier games I loved to be able to see villages, cities and other interesting things from a distance even if there was still, say, a river, mountain chain, or that swamp snake in the way of actually getting there. As well as a lot of areas that were completely optional and where the main story didn't bring you. Going there (early), seeing a world that exists outside of the main story line, that was one of the best parts.
After playing Remake I was quite disappointed in the game. Pacing was completely off compared to the original game, and not making it out of Midgar in 60 hours of play time was frustrating, and it seems I should expect more of that frustration from Rebirth (once it makes its way to PC). Sad.
? Rebirth is basically great, and is fun to explore like wut? I can understand Remake, but Rebirth, everyone will say it is fun and pacing is good, Open World is great like bro@@TheSimChannel
@@FIREDAN075gonna have to agree, and from what I hear they’re working on making the highwind work for part 3, meaning that locations will feel a bit more seemless
@@TheSimChannel What the f are you talking about, there is almost 0 exploration in the old FF games. It's pretty much a straight line till you reach the northern crater in the og.
The overworld is basically a 3D menu for location selection NOT an open world. Rebirth is open, more explorable and has in general more meaningful side content than any FF ever made. If you havn't seen anything except snippets, you will be fking mindblown.
Hi Nick930, great job on the direct comparison, I am excited to see what you may have for your Horizon Forbidden West PC direct comparison if you are planning one.
Horizon is next. Then i want to get back to finishing my next documentary. Too many games releasing
Does this mean you are almost done with your Prince Of Persia Documentary?
Soundtrack is brilliant but there are a lot of audio mixing issues that make it difficult to hear the dialogue as an example. I’d love it if those audio issues were fixed.
I run the music at 6/7 and everything else at 10 from the menu, cleared the dialogue volume issues right up :D
I think each game does things better than the other. For instance I'm loving the detail and proper scale of Rebirth, that said I really don't like that certain areas we could freely visit in the original get closed off completely, namely the Mt Nibel reactor and upper Junon. I don't care if it makes sense story wise to close them off, I want to go back up and poke around and see all the detail the developers put work into.
It's called Chapter Select, if all you want to do is sight see, it's as quick as fast travelling in most cases.
Can barely tell the difference between the two... gonna need another video ;)
in remake is the gold chocobo still suposed to be rare ? we met so many
You were kind of disingenuous about the Tiny Bronco making it sound like you can only take it between Costa and Junon, but every zone in the game has a port that you can take the Bronco so you can still get close to "taking it around the world".
Im not being disingenious. The bronco is SIGNIFICANTLY limited when compared to before.
You can't go through rivers and cut across continents. You're stuck in the Meridian Sea, and that's it. You can't even reach the grasslands anymore or see Midgar.
@@Nick930You can take a river directly to the Grasslands port. Every region has a port for the Tiny Bronco in Rebirth.
@@DM-jk4cpwell by direkt so are you fast trevlig? That is not the same thing
@@AnjektusStudio Direct as in you can access it without leaving the Tiny Bronco. You don't need to fast travel.
@@Nick930 A cave leads to a port in the Grasslands. Every region has a port - Corel has two (one being Costa Del Sol and one to reach the desert side).
"You need a chocobo to get into this cave"
OHOHOHO. I see what you did there 👀
Keep digging
Alone in the dark original and remake comparison please
the biggest change i kind of hate is where are all the hidden good loots , all you get sometimes are weapons in purple containers
so in general there arent like hidden materia or hidden summon materia in areas like in the original game wich made it unique
and that part is inprinted in me as a final fantasy 7 game so i gotta fucking uncover alot of areas just to get dissapointed like damn nothing here -_-
I replayed the original just a month ago and honestly quite staggered at how brilliantly it holds up. Still emotional, exciting, delightful, funny, and thirsty 💦
No.
Making a direct comparison between ff7 remake and ff7 Rebirth: NO
Making a direct comparison of ff7 classic and ff7 rebirth: Oh hell yes!
i wanna see a video of all the boss battles comparison og & rebirth
Chocobo catching is a throw back to classic-era Final Fantasy titles, namely ….. wait I can’t remember which one. V maybe??
The game was missing Ultima Omega and Emerald weapon. I haven’t played the original in so long I think it was on the second disc. In this remake it might be on the third installment.
Yea that seems to be exactly what they go for. This feels like the real disc 1 since it's just going to the towns for the first time and building the party's character arcs. Next game has to tackle all the kaijus and meteor etc
Would love to see the history of the souls games 2009-2022
Are you planning to do a FF documentary ?
Nah Rebirth is F nuts, the fact they were able to release such an ambitious game in this age is really something.
It really is an amazing game. They basically took everything that worked in Remake and made it better in Rebirth. My hype for Part 3 is very high right now.
let's forget the fact that they need to splice a game into 3 parts. what a greedy company 😂
@@dinand28 Yes, let's, because each game is its own game and worth 100+ hours of content.
@@CidGuerreiro1234 60$ for 30 hours game is still expensive
@@dinand28playing through Rebirth alone took me about 100 hours and i still have ALOT to do in it
I am wondering if you played the original FF7 🤔.
Chocobos featured extensively and useful in many situations in the original FF7.
I remember watching my buddy play the original now im playing this remastered version XD so crazy
"Chocobos don't actually get all that much screentime" [in the original FFVII]
They had even less screentime in VIII and IX, and (if memory serves) were optional in only a couple of areas in X. At least in VII chocobos were essential if you wanted to acquire some of the game's most powerful weapons and materia.
Iam playing final fantasty remake it amazing game love the game cannot wait to play final fantasty rebirth
I play rebirth in parallel with a beautiful modded version of FF7 Steam. It’s so cool.
I was hoping that I could replay the remake and have the whole game. But after playing Rebirth, I see why they wanted to break it up. I enjoyed rebirth more than remake but once the next one comes out, I may replay them all again. I love how much they are putting into FF7, love this game why I was young, love it even more when I get to relive it. I applaud Square Enix for making a great game 👏
I like the improvements they done, just sucks some of the locations you don’t get to explore like in the og
So wait until the final game? Wutai was optional, Yuffie was optional, Vincent was optional, these games are better in every way, have faith.
Being a hardcore OG fan, and having very huge expectations on this project since the beginning, I can say they have surpassed every expectation. This game just felt like a dream come true, in every aspect of it.
Classic was an amazing game for its time, and Rebirth is also an amazing game for its time. Love final fantasy
Man I wish some day they will make a FF9 remake. Even the original Final Fantasy creators themselves said it is their favourite game. The Moguri Mod for PC is a great improvement but still far behind a real remake.
I agree, IX needs a remake more than any other PS1-era Final Fantasy. The game was rushed towards the end so certain characters and their storylines (in particular Amarant and Freya) felt inconsequential and underdeveloped. A remake could address those issues. If they keep the chibi, whimsical-fairytale aesthetic, maybe taking inspiration from Kena: Bridge of Spirits, it could be a lot cheaper and easier to remake than FFVII as well.
@@jamesgravil9162The Memoria Project is a great example how the remake could look like.
I believe an FF9 remake was in the Nvidia giga leak, which has been proven to be accurate with a bunch of games on there releasing after the leak. So fingers crossed FF9 remake is happening.
No, FF8 should be remade next.
Horizon Forbidden West PC vs PS5
Honestly i'm not seeing much of a difference. On PS5 HFW runs at a stable 60 FPS and has amazing graphics. On high end PCs HFW just looks slightly more sharper and has a longer draw distance.
you have to make a forbidden west ps5 vs pc vid
Rebirth is amazing and hopefully wins GOTY. This game is nuts
Really wish you did a comparison between Rebirth and Remake.
What? Why? They look practically identical aside from increased poly counts for character models.
The completely different environments and scant gameplay mechanic changes almost mean the video at most would be like.. 6 min long.
Id rather cover other games. This comparison alone took 2 weeks
@@Nick930 Do the differences between Dragon's Dogma 1 and Dragon's Dogma 2 pretty please
@@Nick930 There are many who complained that Rebirth looks considerably more blurry than Remake and I just wanted your insight on why that's the case. I'm assuming they might be using a new engine and it isn't polished yet.
@@StreetFamzzNo, it's cause the PS5 sucks.
@@StreetFamzzNO new engine. They using the same as the one for Remake. The diffrent is that Rebirth is a really big Game. The enviorments are big and that makes to comprimice
This makes you really stop and leaves you in awe. How far graphics has come is kinda insane
For ps1 game. The world was very big
Do a comparison of Persona 3 and Persona 3 reload
Really come along way
I feel like this video is making the game out to be something that has "TOO MUCH TO DO" and at the same time "NOT HAVING ENOUGH". I feel like the environments did a good job brining to life those small towns in a big way. Like it seems like any of the side content that is mostly "optional" is being portrayed as a negative part of the game. I feel like some of the mini games are indeed a little too fleshed out...but overall I feel like its well balanced in a game of this era! If they didnt have those games or if they were just boring and not too creative, a lot of ppl would've been making a fuss about it. Its not like that and a lot of ppl are still making a fuss about it. You cant win in this era of gaming. Queens Blood is absolutely amazing and had just the right amount of content with it. I actually wish it hard more lol!
There is plenty to do in this game, and I would say its 95% fun to do it all. Which is a win in my book. Fully completed this game at about 160 hours which was def worth the money.
I like all these upgrade except the Ubisoft style handheld marker and towers
This game is insane and MASSIVE. Best modern action rpg out there on the ps5. Im playing it after dragon dogma 2 and I love it.
I'm only up to gongaga in rebirth but feel like at this point the original game had abit more of a serious tone less of this fun bright quirky feel i know the original had that to but not this much lol still enjoy the combat tho
I havent played the original since it came out in 97, so i had forgot a lot of the story. It was nice though, playing it again ith much better graphics. 9/10 for me.
I like the music from the original better. They did score Rebirth well but the execution is off. Sometimes the music needs to be louder to emphasize more emotion and other times it's way too loud (like when you get the pirate treasure and Red is reading the paper, you can't hear what he's saying because the music is way too loud)!
I fucking love this game !
I hope they makes something like FF7 Intergrade but with Vincent.
Here's a tv that looks like an apple.
Thanks
I finished half of the game and holding off till they release a patch or PS5 PRO version. Game is so blurry that I thought my sights were going bad lol
Synergy abilities can only be used once each party member has used enough ATB bars. has nothing to do with how much damage has been dealt
Honestly this game isn’t a remake it’s a sequel the story’s different and in order to know what’s different you gotta play the old one and of course the whisps are basically mentioning events in the old games whenever they show up to keep the timeline correct
So I don’t see this game as a remake more of a sequel
The story’s not different in the oh they reconned it instead it’s different in the old games are cannon and the new games are cannon and take place in another universe that mentions the old one a lot
I’ve got this feeling in the last game they’re gonna drop some massive plot bomb that just blows everyone’s minds, there’s definitely some form of long term planning here and I wouldn’t be shocked if they don’t even let on fully what’s happening until the last game’s climax.
I just say it's a Re-quel. Or a retelling at least. 90% of the story follows the exact plot points of og but they are expanded upon and developed even further. That's how "remakes" should be imo. Retain what happened with the classic material and repurpose it for modern day.
@@ziontea7045 I mean the fact of changes stuff and acknowledges that this isn’t how it’s supposed to be kinda sets it up as a sequel in a way
a re-qual is a good way to describe it
i've always wondered why people say 'golden' saucer instead of gold saucer. it's never called golden in the games. it's never written as golden. and yet it's something many people continue to get wrong
Its almost like it doesnt matter and will continue to not matter
It's bizarre to think that both Remake AND rebirth only covers disc 1 in the original, and still the time to takes to finish the remake alone is longer than the entire OG game.
Disc 3 is literally only Northern Crater content, let's not hype it up that much buddy.
It would be amazing if the Star Wars remakes could receive the same level of care ,attention, and superior craftsmanship as this. I wish that a capable company like Square Enix could bring their exceptional skills to the Battlefront and Knights of the Old Republic series, allowing us to experience truly worthy remakes of these cherished titles, instead of the lazy cash grabs of Aspyre. The work Sqare Enix has done for the Final Fantasy 7 remake prove they are truly worthy and capable of bringing new life into beloved but dated titles.
I get what you're saying, it's not 100% seamless. But the game is already pushing Unreal Engine 4 as it is. It isn't a Rockstar engine. I think for the Next Game since it's going to be even larger they need in Unreal Engine 5. I can't imagine the underwater section and even mountains to still be in the same engine.
Actually by the end of the game it is completely seamless. Due to the tiny bronco
@@SevoraLF It is seamless in the end, however will Unreal Engine 4 HANDLE that?
Its absolutely not "completely seamless." Just like the map in tony hawks american wasteland wasnt actually one giant open world.
It just loads areas in giant sections with hidden loading transitions that are barely hidden (see the shot i captured of the bronco driving towards junon as a clear example)
Oh it definitely will stay in the same engine. Expect part 3 to also be unreal 4.
Game engines are like new cars and the tools you need to work on them. As soon as electric cars became more common place, mechanics needed to relearn basically everything they knew because the systems and methods and tools they used for older cars were not applicable anymore.
Same thing for game engines. If they go to unreal 5 they'll have to remake every asset over again from scratch and development will take twice, if not 3 times as long.
@@Nick930the mental hoops you keep jumping through to prop up the original ff7 in comparison to remake is strange
Synergy abilities has Chrono Trigger written all over it. My prediction is so good it’s not even a prediction. I guarantee Square Enix is developing the game. Most likely be announced after FF7 completion.
Oooo that would be cool. I heard good things about chrono trigger but never got to play it as a kid
@@Nick930 Chrono Trigger was the creator of alternative endings.
Obviously the first ff7 will have our hearts but that’s because we were simple humans at that time. Now though idk 😂
why tf its not on pc yet
Imagine showing this video to someone in the 90s
25 years from now they will be saying the same about us lol
Honestly, I can’t tell which one is PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 5. Look very similar 😮
🤣🤣🤣
I see Queens Blood more FF7 Tripple Triad inspired than Gwent.
So when can we expect The crew motorfest comparison? Been look forward for it for like 6 months 😅😊
I think shadow textures are slightly better
Some of the textures in the game make me upset. I've read this is a issue with unreal engine 4
10:03 “Not for the better”? At least this time, Cid isn’t coming off as an abusive husband, and it gives a better connection with him and other main characters such as him being the one that helped Aerith’s biological mother and her get somewhere. Whereas in the original he felt kind of forced. These TH-camrs really need to stop looking at the past through rose-coloured glasses.
Yea I just replayed the classic n def see why that had to nerf him quite a bit lol
Remake vs rebirth please :))
You can sail to the grasslands.
you leave queens blood alone..........its absolutely fantastic lol
Imagine what the re-REmake will look like in 2054.
why not compare ff7 intergrade to this new game ?interested what changed..
Characters have higher polycounts.
Environments are different
Game is longer.
Synergy attacks and folio are new
Thats about it
@@Nick930Thank you for information Nick . I really like yours "History of" videos
I was disappointed to not see tankceratops and biker guys in rebirth.
The biker guys are utilized in a late game side quest in Kalm/Grasslands Region. Wish they were used a bit more though.
@@Vagrant7z oh cool. I haven't done all the side quests yet
Rip trankceratops
@@Vagrant7z ? y are you pretending to be upset a mob you might never see, is a part of a side quest...??? ?????
Am I the only one who strongly prefers turn based non seamless battles? Its part of why I preferred FF to Dragon Quest in that era
yes you are the only one
Yes you are. I think these battles are kind of like a mix of Chrono Trigger, Eternal Sonata and Dragon Knight 3 where they fight for you, but you determine the big moves
I feel like the way they do combat in remake/rebirth is near perfection.
@@inthebeginning4751 I hated it so much I only played for an hour or two.
I'll never forgive them for taking out the ENTIRE rocket town section. I wouldn't agree with but I'd at least understand if they just changed how mean Cid was to Shera but no, They cut the entire thing and the way they changed Cid's entrance to the story means there is no way they will be able to write it as it was in the original. Many of the minigames are awful and the way they changed Shinra manor section also sucks. Other than that, I'm enjoying it for the most part.
They probably were just set on saving rocket town for part 3 but needed Cid’s character for Rebirth so did his intro like that instead. Rocket Town should def be in part 3
No Chocobo dance - No sale!
Will you be doing a dragons dogma 2 review goat?
Imagine FF6 or FF9 like this.
i am playing ff7 rebirth just for queens blood 😂
the bottom line is this. rebirth allowe us to relive a story and characters we loved but could never make us love them on its own.
they changed way too many things of the origianl story
some were cool that they deepened some characters
but some I wish they kept the same
Wonder if the Turks will kill Cornielo in Wutai in part 3
its a completely different game idk if its even worth comparing anymore
I kinda wish they let it bake for a few more years personally, maybe until UE5 was ready, it’s not bad but it could be much better. Feels a bit dated already
Why does this square Enix team have such a problem with texture quality?? I don’t get it. I’ve never seen modern games this bad.
most modern games are 1/10th the scale and carve everything up into tiny little instances with ten billion tight crawl spaces to disguise their poorly optimised load times.
You actually can dock in each region in rebirth they just don’t show up on the map out right
You can dock at designated locations. You cant dock at any beach wherever you want like before
@@Nick930 true
good
Way more great additions have been added than omitted and most of the ones that were are going to be in the 3rd game. Get this negative bs outta here with not for the better bs
