Ralph are you allowed to upload a review? I thought the world wide release isn't until the 10th
@@Stuy777 Allowed isnt the right word, is it right?
"I've struggled with jrpg dialogue"
shows xenoblade
well... no wonder, between that and modern square
Skill Up I just happen to get paid early this week on Thursday as I’m off over the Easter weekend, it must be fate.
"You can just listen to this video as you would a podcast" would've been the perfect spot to talk about your sponsor
Barret sounds like the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Love your Tropic Thunder reference.
And it was perfect
2 years later I'm replaying 7 remake and came back to this review, and I still don't understand what this means
@@justhaku9240 it's a tropic thunder reference
Love how Aerith is actually concerned for cloud when he agrees to the luxury treatment
Its more like
"But Cloud.... I'd do that for free"
I took it more of her being like, "But I'm right here, why are you paying for it?"
Jelly
10/10 for the music in the whole game. I would travel anywhere in Australia if there is a FF7R concert to hear it live.
**Spots a poisonous spider**
"Why do i hear boss fight music?"
**Sephiroth OST intensifies as the spider jumps at you**
True. The music in this game alone justifies the price of the game. That's also why I've paid another $100 for the limited Soundtrack. ^^ And I certainly would also love to visit a FF7re live concert - in my country or one nearby. Make it happen SE! :)
Loved all the music! Also the game was amazing just got the plat 🥰🔥
About the music, which version of Those Who Fight plays from 1:03 to 1:13? Thank you.
Speaking of audio, if there are any Breaking Bad fans here, considering the actor that played Badger voiced Wedge in the game, did anyone else have the issue of only hearing Badger talking to Pinkman whenever Wedge mentioned Jessie’s name in a sentence? I couldn’t unhear it. Amazing game though and the voice acting, audio, and music really are top knotch.
“And while it isn’t perfect, I loved it so so much. I really did”
Truly a great review
Note to self: Amass and set aside 3000 gil ASAP.
I see what you did there. I'll round you up with a 5100 gil minimum by that point. 😉
whack, you savage
Sounds like legendary puff-puff mischief to me.
How to understand the madam scene? How adult is this game? Do I see what I'am paying for or do I have to get a fanfic/microtransaction/dlc ?
the amount determines Aeris dress
Your first statement was all I needed to hear. Hope you're keeping safe across the ditch brother!
Kendal What boat them grade what boat them botch pewdiepie responds
So being lied to is all you need to hear.
Im surprised he barely touched the absolutely incredible music and sound design of this game in this review
Yep. I would often just stand around soaking in the music and ambience of the world
Watch acg for a more technical review rather than a narrative review. Both are awesome imo
Yeah I thought the same thing, how do you review FFVII and somehow ignore reviewing what is arguably the best part of the game, the soundtrack
"A railroad is linear" Yes, yes it is.
The linearity isn't the problem. It's how drawn out those sections feel. The railway and the sewers feel more like padding overall.
@@Kwazy-mojo This game suffers from the roller coaster effect. The highs are amazing, but the lows are just frustrating. I love this game to death, but every little thing it does bad is reflective of a two issues. The padding done to certain sections that took literally two minutes to get through in the original is insane. The collapsed highway with the robot arms. The train graveyard as well. The lack of urgency in key moments is the most insane part of it all. I love the music and combat, but removing these things, show how the pacing and level design are very weak.
The boss fights are amazing as hell though.
@@ThatGBAGamer those slow sections were added probably to make the game last enough to cut it in parts.
@Aaron9 I played the game in 2015 there is no nostalgia.
@@ThatGBAGamer hard disagree, loved how they extended a lot of parts. made me feel like i was a part of the world and not just a guest in it. i still had my sense of urgency in the train graveyard too. only thing i think was truly dragged out was the 8 floors of airbuster shit, but at the same time it felt cool how it waslike you were actually making the boss weaker
*deep inhale at the start* oohhh noo
Skill Up: Well, they pulled it off.
Whew! 😧
"They pulled it off" -DUN, DUN, DUN!!
Why are you s concerned about his opinion?
@@megaham1552 I've found SkillUp's opinion to usually be very much like my own. Granted, his opinion doesn't shape mine, but it's always reassuring to hear from someone who's like-minded in that you know for the most part that if there's something you do or don't enjoy, you're likely to have the same manner of praise or problems with it. I also find him to be a reliable reviewer who brings fair points to the table with reasoning behind what he's saying instead of basing opinions on nostalgia or with rose-tinted glasses on (for the most part).
@@megaham1552 why do people commit suicide after getting bullied? Its just their opinion, after all.
@@megaham1552 coz i was ready to downvote if he didn't like it, it would've been top 10 anime betrayals 😢
Embargo just lifted? Phone is getting hammered with FFVII reviews.
Lmao ACG and Skill Up😂
@@AliHassan-ny1lo only 2 i watch
Same. It all got amazing reviews so far. Many fans loving it
IGN reviewed too but they are the twin of rottentomatoes 😂
The checks cleared as well. The praise they give this game while justifying the fact its not actually a remake is telling.
It's 2020 bro... why settle for one waifu? Have a harem of women, two gay men, along with 250 tigers.
What, only two? :D
Made my day! Some are missing the TK reference.
@C M The cutscenes, characters and dialogues are great. Much better even than in OG FF7 and almost everyone enjoys them.
No gay men!
@@DragonHeart613 It's 2023. Gay men was three years ago now its nonbinary unicorns.
Well done Skill Up. You nailed it: "FFVII remake is a game that can and will be torn down by many people for its business model and its minor short comings. But it will also be held up by many others for their sheer love and joy of it all."
I don't know if I'd classify the combat system as a 'minor' shortcoming, I know I'm far from the only person disappointed by it.
@@simplygreen5832 you're the only person i've heard that doesn't like the combat
@Aaron9 Okay, picture this for a second, a hybrid between the original combat system, FF13's non-static combat positioning and the area affects/combo attacks from Chrono Trigger, ATB system is fine. I'd also consider adding turn based repositioning along the lines of Trails of Cold Steel 'move' command. You're right I haven't played it but I've watched more than enough footage/reviews/livestream plays to come to the conclusion I dislike it. If you favor a more action orientated game with manual character positioning, great, I hope you enjoy yourself. As for me it's a hard pass.
Aaron9 yeah I loved the combat I find purely turn based games lackluster and hard to get immersed
@@simplygreen5832 wait... you've never played it and you're shitting on the combat. jesus people are stupid
Honestly, the fact that it's pretty linear is just obvious. That's hoe Midgar originally, and there's only so much you could do to pan that out. The game only opens up once you leave Midgar
There's rumors the next installment is more open world
@Sterman99 How much Tw3 did you even play? Must not have been a lot cause Tw3 is the opposite of boring imo.
Sterman99 damn, you described my worst fears about Witcher 3. Open world games are super tricky to nail I feel. If we’re being negative here, you can get big world that feels empty to great environments that feel alive but lacking in gameplay. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are the only ones I remember, where it was great in both gameplay and open world
Sterman99 bruh... did you just say botw had a better open world than the Witcher lmfao
Sterman99 bruh botw is the most over rated game I’ve ever played the puzzles suck and the shrines are boring as fuck there is so much god damn filler it feels so god damn empty... the Witcher had so much amazing dialogue side missions player choice etc I just straight up disagree with you lol and I think your opinion is dog shit
Actually, one of the best moments of my quarentine was hearing your first line followed up by the game's soundtrack, OH MY
Still can't believe it's been nearly 5 years since this remake was announced.
Feels longer for me never played any ff
It was announced like over a decade ago.
with less than 40hrs worth of content.. It feels like a cash grab to me.
@@z3nkin ya but 6 hours of garbage fps for sixty dats worth it cod
@@z3nkin it's a 1st part of a multi disc series, ffvii was 4 ps1 disc, midgar took what 4 hours of 80+ on the original game. 30 hours in a 4 hour part of the story.
Pay attention
Tifa's attack animations are amazing, easily among the best 3D melee animation I've seen
And she's totally hot@@
@@dannymartinez4827 Maybe the hottest video game character ever
@@iHaveTheDocumentsnah. I prefer Aerith and Jessie.
I wish I could watch this review, but I want to go in blind. So, I'll like the video, leave a comment, and just watch it in a few weeks.
>Go in blind.
It’s fucking FINAL FANTASY 7!!! Even if you haven’t played the original, you know the plot front to back!!! It’s like Star Wars!
@@darthsonic4135 But it's new content, new gameplay, a whole new experience.
Why not literally do what he said and don't "Watch" it just listen to it instead. He doesn't talk about spoilers......
@@blessedred Yeah, I ignored the video and just listened and I didn't really hear spoiler content.
@@darthsonic4135 I finished this two days ago (came out 10 days early in Australia) and trust me, they're is a LOT to be spoiled in this believe it or not. Even for the most hardcore FF7 fan.
Go in blind.
OH MY GOD RALPH
Your first line was enough for me, that was really all I needed to hear. I'm relieved, and can't wait for 10th. Thank you
Man....just hearing the music in the background of this review almost made me tear up. These new renditions of the FF7 classics are absolutely PERFECT! Cannot wait to hear them in the context of the game itself!
So how'd you find the music now that you've played it? The whole soundtrack lives in my head rent free still to this day!
@@philbarton2832the music constantly lives in my head rent free. I just got FF16 and I’m really bummed with the music in that game. It doesn’t transition well or fit what’s happening on screen. FF7 has the greatest soundtrack ever!
@@drgonzo123 Couldn't agree more, I genuinely think the ff7 ost is easily the greatest soundtrack in gaming.
I haven't gotten around to playing ff16 yet but looking forward to it!
Cried through about 90% of the game. Nerd Tears Club.
I came to know you because of your Nier: Automata review (I've already finished the game by the time I stumbled upon your video).
From then on, I decided to listen to you when in doubt and here you are, reassuring me that FFVII Remake will not let me down.
Thank you, I'll trust you.
8:42 Barret dabs like in the original! I'M SOLD!!!

“Certified Thirsty” - Ralph 2020
WOW, this is the first review pointing out the maturity of the story. I am officially sold!
Tifa is the only correct waifu.
Yes.
Jessie is also a good choice.
Edit: Nevermind. Tifa it is.
Yes.
WAIFU FIGHT!
Tifa who? The only waifu in FF7 is obviously cloud
I work in an "essential" job environment but somehow was able to convice my boss to give me the week of april 13 to 20th off. I think I know how ill be spending my free time!
Stay safe out there my dude!
It's a 30 hour game you'll have more than enough timr
@5pointgo Got a friend who's playing it right now, 40 hours in and he's not even started Shinra HQ yet
@5pointgo Game length is honestly subjective and depends on how much you like the busywork/sidequests that can extend it. Being technically able to last longer doesn't matter if it's not enjoyable to the people only getting thirty hours. That being said, I'm hoping it lasts longer for me.
@5pointgo I absolutely don't share your enthusiasm for sidequests. Maybe in an actual role-playing game, but not in a shorthand rpg. A lot of the latter have boring fetch quests without much consequence, and finding overpowered secret items tends to be something I reserve to future playthroughs. Not trying to shame anyone who likes being overpowered for their first playthrough, it just isn't fun for me.
Really nice touch with Cloud at the end. Brings back a ton of memories
Imagine if Midgar was cyberpunk 2077 style open world, where you could travel between sectors with train etc.. man I would have seriously looked at the view all day
I really like the combat in this game. There is so much stuff to customize, and so many different options in each given situation, which makes it quite hard to master.
I like the combo a lot, I just wish you could jump manually lol
It's desapointing in my opinion
Combat is amazing af.
Vitor Grego why tho?
@@mistakenumber7880 sorry but the combat sistem is horrible, the camera angle in battles my god can't even describe how bad it is, and the npc characters look weird, ovral a desapointment 😥
YEAHHHHHHHH BOI!!!!! I loved it -TwoSix
Just discovered your page. I enjoy the content and you have convinced me to get audible. Thanks for the review and recommendation!
18:05 - The camera battle mechanics problem you're having can be remedied by locking onto enemies with R3, as well as increasing the in-battle field of view in the Settings.
18:15
"since enemies target whoever you are controlling"
I hope the shift isn't too extreme, but it might be interesting to add enemy movement manipulation to your tactics
I melt with nostalgia when I hear the music ...
I can't help but wonder how they're going to pull off the absolute pacing and narrative nightmare that is the rest of the game after you get out of Midgar. If they can pull it off it will be an insane feat. I'm almost skeptical we'll even get subsequent games in the series
You're assuming the rest of the story will resemble the original's... Play this and you'll see
I've just finished the original on Switch and I can't even start to imagine how they're going to remake this game in its entirety with these graphics. Will be an amazing accomplishment
i dont know if they know how they're gonna do it either. i'm equally worried as i am excited for p[art 2
looking forward to this channel.. feeling nostalgic while im watching ur vids....
I do, I remember De Grassi. And though it looms over my head, I feel No shame.
To anyone wondering: he addresses spoilers right at the start of the review.
Appreciate the heads up.
Okay please explain, which part that has been pulled off?
Doesn’t matter he ignored square developers plea not to spoil until after 10th
Trenchfood and sure enough, there’s a ton of them, quite specific ones too!
To anyone wondering: Most people have found this out before reaching this comment.
What an awesome positive review! I am patiently waiting for my digital download to allow me to play - all downloaded and ready and I cannot wait to get in to this game!
You could really tell the devs cared about this one. I felt the emotions and while it's not perfect this game is just so good and I loved every second of it.
It's awful, I got the exact opposite feeling like they didn't care at all and just wanted to cash in on the fandom.
I totally agree.
I completely agree. This game reinvented the wheel in such a way that it blew me away and gave me a new and deeper appreciation of the game than the original gave me.
My only complaints are the side quests and quest tracking. Not to mention a certain aspect in the fighting that whom ever you controlled the enemy would blitz and cheese you.
@@beefymario88 that’s your problem then
The devs cared about it, but the Director didn't give a hoot.
I... think there has to be more than two other parts, unless they're _considerably_ longer. Midgar is, like, the first third of the first disc. Sure, disc three is the last dungeon and a buncha sidequests but there's still a huge amount of disc 1 and, even if it's a bit shorter, all of disc 2. With as much as the expanded Midgar, they'd have to be blasting past stuff or massively expanding the next parts for only two to be needed.
4 parts is my guess
Turns out Rebirth is indeed much much longer
OMG review already out on your channel? This is a good morning indeed.
Combat and boss battles are hands down the stars of the game , they really nailed those 2.
Hey, you're spot on: I like the way you approach things
can't even get a sidequest about getting a 30 year-old virgin slot-car racer a girlfriend after being bullied by kids 9/10 terrible experience.
Game needs more Kiryu for sure!
Now that this is out of the way...Time to play the Yakuza series Ralph!
Yes yes yes
He really needs to review yakuza 0
I just played Yakuza 0 for the first time, what the fuck it's good
Love the yakuza series
@@wolfsblood5188 Right? It's honestly my favorite game.
Anyone asking for the song around 1:03, it's "Squats & Pull ups Mini-game Battle theme EXTENDED | Final Fantasy 7 Remake" here in TH-cam.
I was sooo nervous to watch or read reviews, then I saw yours pop. I stared at it for a solid 15 mins, loving and hating the fact that you didn't give away your opinion in the title. "Well...they pulled it off". Oh thank God. Yours is the only review I need my dude, thank you.
The great thing about the episodic nature of the series, is that Square can take any criticisms on board for this game and iron them out as the follow-ups are released.
That and they can focus on each segments new game systems. Open world, airship navigation, side quests, endgame etc etc. Everything gets more attention and time. I wouldn't even call it an episode. This is more like FF13 that had two follow up releases.
Yeah that worked real well for half-life 😏
@@gooberglop8461 I don't think you can compare Valve and SE. One company has financially motivated to release games and the other one can lay back and release nothing. Valve stopped being a game developer around the time of the Orange Box and Steam gaining momentum. I think its shameless how they've behaved in the gaming sphere for years now and I found the VR release to be an immense slap in the face for any normal consumer that might have loved HL. Two totally different situations here.
@@mikev8746 Squeenix is still developing but they are mostly a publisher now and a large portion of their efforts go into publishing games from other companies as well. I feel like the burnout from episodic developing is real and seeing a game deteriorate over time rather then improve is a real possibility. Plus they chose a horrible genre to do this too, JRPG's are massive, long adventures and waiting 1-2 years at best between parts is going to feel horrible.
@@gooberglop8461 Thats a good and fair point you're making. I'm currently more on the positive side but who knows how I will look at it when time progresses. There's definitely also a chance it will just get worse with ever release as Square fumbles near the finish line. The first outing though made a good impression for me. When it comes to JRPG's I think it's a mix. Compared to every other genre I think these games have the most the gain and lose when it comes to possible remakes. I'm certain we wont get the next part for 2-4 years at best so the wait will suck. But from my experience the eventual pay off will be worth it. Once you have everything in your hands a decade from now there's simply more value in having 3 parts. You will truly be able to play it from beginning to end with the scope the original had. Absolutely no modern game has offered that much, even games such as GTA and RDR were shorter and felt less 'grand' than a traditional JRPG from that era. This is partially because of how JRPG's heavily rely on abstractions. The characters during the prerendered exploration parts aren't properly scaled, the battles aren't really turn based. The player sort of 'decodes' these things in his head and figures what they are meant to portray. Which means that these large scaled PS1 JRPGs came with a sense of scope that is partially an illusion. The more technology progressed the harder it was to recreate this illusion due to the realism of it all. Which ends you up at games like FF13 and even FF15 in terms of scope and such. That's why I think having three games developed on the Remake has possible advantages, one of them being increased scope and content.
Glad to know that it's good . Will buy it when it comes to PC next year.
smart man
Is it coming to PC?
bloozism it’s only exclusive to PS until April 2021. Should be coming to PC/X Box around then.
I'll be getting it on Series X next year. As well. Currently playing Kingdom Hearts 3 on Xbox Gamepass. Then will play Nier Automata on Game pass as well.
Not, it wont
I really enjoyed your review. It was very objective for a huge fan like yourself.
Also my friend and I decided to get Cactuar tattoos soon! Super excited! 😊
2 reviews I always look forward to, acg and skill up
This last hour I’ve been hit all at once with FF7 reviews and decided to watch your video first. Well done review, Skill Up. Definitely going to be playing this
You can feel in Skill ups Facial Expressions how much he Loves the remake:)
Nice Review. Stay safe out there
Thanks for the heads up early on! Ill watch after I grind all materia and levels to max if possible!
Who’s here after Sony announced this will be the free game for P.S. Plus?
I just have to say I really enjoy you and your content. Thank you for this review.
Thank you for watching :)
I wonder when the second part will come out. I hope within the next couple of years, though if that's next-gen, there will be a lot more work on the tech side. We'll see. In the meantime, I'm convinced I need to get this!
They can reuse all the textures and character models so it won’t take that long.
@@DaveSkylark111 aged terribly so far.
I classify 2020 the year of the Remake (even more so than 2019). Also the year of iconic soundtracks being remade and me desperately searching for how to acquire them.
8:00 Reminded me of a similar situation in Final Fantasy 12 with the interaction between Gibbs and Deweg: "A soldier doesn't complain about his post, Gibbs. Granted it's hot...the city reeks of sweat...and I've sand in places sand has no right to be."
Lunchtime viewing materia(l): Sorted! :D
13:20 She picked that up from Zack in CC 😭😭😭
watching this again because this game is my absolute favorite of the year that is 2020.
Those troops trying to stop you reminds me of "Let me see your war face"
13:20 "This one's a little weird, sis"
@@Grimpachi No it isn't...
He says "to a buff Danny Glover" I love it.
By God I love your honest and open reviews, Skill Up... and by God I loved this Remake too.
22:15 - Nailed it, I know. Thank you. Moving on.
I loved that bit so much lol
"Well...they pulled it off" Instant screaming.
Your absolute passion for Final Fantasy oozed throughout the review. I hope to see similiar passion when the eventual FFXIV-review comes out!
Started this on PS Plus around a year ago following completion of FF16. I enjoyed it so much I decided to try this. Eventually though around Charles 9 I got distracted by another release.
Knowing Rebirth was releasing at the end of the month I picked this back up about 2 weeks ago. Currently halfway through chapter 17. Doing everything outside the hardmode trophy and 9 bridal dressed trophy.
I’ve enjoyed the game more and mor the closer I get to the end.
I feel super blessed to be able to pick up FF7 Rebirth tonight as soon as I finish Remake!
My first game when I bought my first PlayStation. Been part of my childhood and glad that SE remade a part of it. I hope they complete it all. Cheers!
I'm not even an FF7 fan but I felt the relief and joy to be had in hearing how you first started this video. I wish the same applied for RE3 😔
Unfortunately the roles are reversed I feel. I think RE3 is a more worthwhile buy than this. Not a fan of splitting the game up. You're buying only a part of a 180 dollar game at least. Absolutely ridiculous.
@@Odie50000 So you think a 5 hour game is worth 60 dolars, but a 35 hours game is not just because it is not "complete"?
@@VitinRitsu Correction, RE3 is a 20 hour game at least because of the number of times you need to play through to get everything out of the game. Including the Shop, Nightmare, and Inferno difficulty modes as well as those modes boasting RNG and moved items and drops.
@@VitinRitsu Indeed that is correct. At least RE3 is complete. Why would you spend $180 on a complete game sold to you in 3rds?
@@Odie50000 I haven't played either of them yet but I was VERY excited for the RE3 remake (played it to death back in 1999). I do wanna reserve my opinion on it for when I play it but there does seem to be some uniformity in everyone's response towards it (game length, underwhelming potential, etc). though I can see what you're getting at about a full priced game being a "complete" package as opposed to a full priced game only being a part of a greater whole.
Damn. I knew I should've brought over my PS4 to the campus.
What a good review, definitely my favourite review so in depth! Skill up 👍🏻
Great review! Normally appreciated your detailed examinations and explanations in your videos, and I guess I'm plugging the PS4 back in, eh?
Also, hell yeah for Audible! Ever since our company went full quarantine for the pandemic, they couldnt figure out how to tech the remote working... so they have me commuting 2 hrs each way to work... at... a remote office. Needless to say, those 2 hr drives killed me and my podcast lists. Until I found Audible and now I can catch up on ALL those books I never found time for. Thanks for the promo!
A more honest title for this game would be “Final Fantasy VII Rewrite”.
Rewrite?
@@justghoul yeah cause they changed a significant amount of story
@@arkiststark Especially the ending.... ooooh boy that ending. Its going to be... controversial, to put it mildly.
Zach Strong it’s going to be the most controversial piece of media since the last Jedi. I’m gonna come back to this video in two weeks to see how many people shit on skillup for actually liking the game and the ending.
@@TheAceLewis wow that sounds like some epic fuck up by square mate. Gonna have to play this soon
I had the first playstation but never played final fantasy so this was all new to me and it's definitely one of the best I've ever played by far
Great review as always
I loved that Emet-Selch reference 😍
man I played this game, it was my first final fantasy ever, I never even played the original, and every time I think about this game I either get incredibly happy or I cry, depending on what I'm thinking about in the game.
The original was my first FF and I finally got around playing the remake a few months ago and boy oh boy was I blown away. I consider myself a die hard FF7 fan and this remake felt like Square decided that I'd been working too hard, dealing with too much crap and I deserved a break. Loved the game, 10/10 even with its shortcomings, I can't wait to play the rest of the series.
Finished the game yesterday and already playing through it again. I am so excited for where they are taking this re-telling. Another Awesome review bud.
Is there any type of new game+?.
99range92def As he said there is the option to chapter select and bring items over. Can’t say much else as I don’t want to be that guy.
how long is the story
brittney Whelp. Ralph did say his play time was about 35 hours with almost all side quests complete. I think he said it was about 30 hours without side quests which is more than fair.
@@seth-nico ok ty
I crack up every time Barret sings the victory tune.
3:33 yes the experience is the most important part. Massive ff7 fan here and I always wanted to see a complete overhaul and I got one!
glad to hear you enjoyed it as much as I did skilly
how good was that ddr section
here's hoping because they have the engine and a lot of assets they can go full steam ahead on part 2
You looking forward to making Darkest Dungeon PvP videos? ;)
Omg so amazing
Top 10 ff waifus?
@@SkillUp agreed. The characters are just perfect.
I think it will help part 2 will be on next gen consoles, open world games still didn't look or feel the part on consoles this generation. They will have way more design freedom on next gen. With all the main systems down they can focus on the open world part of it completely while iterating on what's there right now. In retrospect I think it was a genius move for them to split the game up. It really is a win-win for both the publisher and the developer but also the consumer. Everyone gets more time/money/gameplay/quality etc etc.
FF games starting in the early 90's are the reason why I fell in love with video games. I'm pretty torn here though. The complaints against this part of the remake could be forgiven if it was a flawed early chapter of the game. But it's the whole game as it exists for now. Seems like it would be a far better plan to wait two years for them to complete this project.
I think two years might be optimistic. The best comparison we have is FFXIII which released a new game every two years. I expect VII:R to be the same. And given that they stretched the opening few hours of the first disk of three disks into a single release then I doubt it'll be finished with only one other release. Not to mention SE says they don't know how many releases it'll be too finish the game, so they don't have a solid plan and are making it up as they go. We could be in for a long wait for a finished game
Digital copy looks so tempting right now. Stores are closed until May, and I already paid for the physical deluxe copy.
Finally found a helpful review. Thanks bro :)
I watched a lot of your review. But I never see any review you did when you speak of something so passionately... like you really means every words you said. Like I could feel the feeling you are trying to pour... because me too... I'm really happy that FF7R is happening and that it is what we expect it to be.

Me: Tifa, we made it, Girl!!! He's not talking about the drink!!
Why do you think she has to go
Great review! Good to hear the combat is one of the strong points. I'll probably hold off on this for a while, still a little annoyed about it being multi-part, I'd understand it if it were half of the main story or something.
gotta love that this is coming out on a 4 day weekend and i'm not socially obligated to go outside. Queue that victory theme music!
Just want to say thank you for being so open about the spoilers in your videos. It's often hard to watch other TH-camrs Reviews without getting spoiled or warned.
I honestly feel that "it's linear" is just not a valid criticism. Some of the greatest games of all time are linear. There's just a difference between good linearity and bad linearity.
13:10 Corkscrew tunnel....
Ah yes, another next level pun
I love this fucking game so much and I hope they put Golden Saucer in the next one
1:16 someone please tell me what's the name of the track that starts at 1:16
It sounds amazing and I've been searching for it since the e3 2019 demo trailer
Dude I’ve been looking for it too but now luck :(
main theme of Final Fantasy VII remake! It's really great, give it a listen!
@@rezalzalahmusic7605 Thank you kind stranger
