get that bag king
"Nailed it. I know. Thank you. Moving on."
This is still the single best line read in the game.
*Steve meets tomberry* "Oh isnt that kinda cute it isn't doing much"
Everyone else: *Screaming Internally*
the thing about the whispers/arbiters of fate is that, they are trying to force the story to go the way the original game story went. you could say they are like the embodiment of the purists, who want a 1-1 remake.
because, and this is the twist, this game is not a "REmake" its a "reMAKE". As in the same story being remade to fit a new narrative. basically imagine that this game is set in a parallel universe to the original game, and sephiroth from the original game, after being defeated, managed to hop into this "timeline" and is trying to change things so he can win in the end.
and by the end of this game, that's what he managed to do, take over the arbiters of fate, so HE can run the story in a way that benefits him.
its a play on the the word remake, as both a rethread of the same story, but also, a rebuild of that story in a diferent way.
which is also why sephiroth shows up to cloud earlier than he was "supposed to" because, that's the OG 1997 game version of sephiroth. manipulating cloud so things go his way.
this is why the whispers hurt jessie's leg, because in the OG game, cloud is supposed to go to that mission, not her, but in here, Barret didnt trust him enough so he wasnt gonna bring him, which forced them to act, and make sure cloud went with barret and tifa to blow the second reactor.
basically, everytime they act, its them trying to "course correct" the story back to its default progression. but sephiroth keeps messing with things.
Best comment
I wouldn’t worry abt making sense with the whispers, and the ending. You’re meant to be confuse-since it’s a trilogy. All you need to know is the current context you have now- they are the physical manifestation of fate, summoned by the life stream (the planet) Only Aerith, and Sephiroth have the ability to see what their fate is. So every time someone tries to change fate-the whispers would come, and correct it, like Barrett dying- he’s destined to live and save the planet. By beating the whispers: Cloud, and the gang are free from destiny, and are now choosing their own paths. For older fans is to let us know that the story gonna have changes. That’s all you need to know for now.
People always point out cloud being a dick to the old dude as an inconsistency, but he is literally just trying to get the old dude to go see moggie because lowkey he knows it’ll cheer him up.
If you walk by the old dude while you’re sneaking out in the middle of the night, you can overhear him telling someone how much of a good time he had meeting moggie and the other kids.
Cloud knows what he’s doing
I didn't know about this, there's so many amazing details in this game jesus
Yeah this! Everyone says that Cloud is a jerk but he did it because he wants to make the old guy realize he still has the energy to have some fun. Even the guy next to him tells you "you're a real dick, y'know, but on the bright side, it seems he's all fired up again" confirming that was Cloud's plan all along.
Cloud is a lot smarter and emotionally intelligent than he lets on.
@@Nigel222 More like, he's more emotionally intelligent when the matter doesn't involve himself.
Aerith transformed the dude in 24hrs
Bro got sponsored by Raid??? Actually made it out the hood
Outta the hood, into the ghetto :(
After the words "you know what company isn't evil?" I did NOT expect to hear "Raid shadow legends!!!!"
That had to have been ironic
2:21:45 thats interesting. Ive only ever heard Aerith say "I miss it.. The steel sky." But your game makes aerith say something completely different
I just did some research and it seems they patched the game early this year and changed the line to this one. Apparently it is more accurate to the Japanese translation they said, very interesting indeed.
@@MilkManStevewhen you play rebirth, it’ll make more sense to why they changed it too
@@Jakamoe87wait do they change this if you play physical version
@@mursid-hq9ey yep
Yeah they added that right before Rebirth released as I guess the developers felt it fit better and was a direct English translation of what she said in the Japanese voice lines of the game.
I made it 50 minutes before I pulled up subway surfers gameplay on the other monitor THATS how good this video is so far bruh
it might even be 50 more before you need family guy funny moments
I'm pretty sure the final scene is meant to make more sense if you played the original. The whole point of the scene is that they're "defying destiny woooo" and not explicitly redoing the events of the original game, presumably to keep the stakes high for those who did play it. (which I did recently)
It's still a bafflingly confusing sequence, but I hope that helps clear some things up.
Yeah I gathered that from the whole "killing destiny and fate" but yeah the whole sequence and what was going on and how was still omega confusing, I understand the outcome though atleast, to an extent.
it actually makes more sense if you look at this as a parallel universe/sequel of the original game. but the only ones who know this are sephiroth and aerith(at the beginning of the game).
its also interesting because its a remake in the sense of sephiroth literaly trying to remake the story in a way that fits his agenda. which the whispers are trying to stop at all cost. trying to fix any deviation they can, but by the end, sephiroth manages to kill the spirit that is holding destiny together. so it can go however he(sephiroth) wants.
We got another one boys.
Seriously though I'm always happy to find people who discover and/or enjoy the game for the first time!
It is incredible and I am very very happy I decided to play it. Can't wait for rebirth on pc.
The thing about Cloud's reaction to being asked to visit the orphanage ---- he's saying no promises because he wants the asker to pull through and visit it himself. So in a way, Cloud is trying to tell his friend "don't give up!"
Yeah I can see that, similar to his "you owe me a pizza" with jessie.
@@MilkManSteve he's trying he's just not that good at making friends yet 😅
'Clouds personality is inconsistent in the quests.' Yeah I get why you would think that if you haven't played the original. It's actually the most ingenious part of the writing.
First time watcher of your channel here. This game was my entrance into FF7. Played it last year in 2023. I fell in love with it. And it made me get a PS5 just to get rebirth. I enjoyed watching the summary of your playthrough! Can't wait to see you play rebirth! Your commentary is so funny this 2.5 hour video felt like 10 minutes I was so entertained.🤣
I'm glad you liked it. The game is amazing and I honestly did think about getting a PS5 too just because of it, but I'm still skeptical on the idea of a $570 FF7 Rebirth machine lmao. Can't wait to play it when it releases on pc though, hopefully soon.
It’s a damn shame that this video isn’t getting more views, it’s great
I appreciate you
I love the stairs joke. So unnecessary and they still did it. The games are full with stupid shit just to make it more fun, I'm really looking forward to the last.
Brianna White did a great job with aerith and she’s great friends with the voice actor of Barrett, which he doesn’t look like his big character lol
Aerith was definitely my favorite character in the game, voice acting was insanely well done by her as well.
@@MilkManSteve yeah she spent four years on making those parts they kept changing things certain wordings so forth as she was playing it on rebel gaming she described how things went and her difficulties with some of the stuff it was amazing she’d never played Final Fantasy until she started voicing aerith and she got hooked lol
I have never played any final fantasy games but I will enjoy watching this
Well you'll get to learn one
What's stopping you?
Can’t wait to watch this over the course of a month
Now you can't not play Rebirth. 😉
I plan on it, I need to know more
@@MilkManStevesubscribed. Cannot wait 🤣
@@MilkManSteve Then brace yourself, you're in for one crazy ride...
@MilkManSteve It will be a long game, people usually take about 80 to 120 hours to complete depending on how much extra content you do
Oh Yeah Let's Goooooo 😂😂😂😂
"aerith seems to know something about whats going on" this isnt a 1:1 remake, its changed. essentially the beginning of the game where you see aerith open her eyes, shes gaining memories from the lifestream. Aerith knows EVERYTHING.
However its now confirmed via Rebirth that she had SOME future knowledge which has now been taken away by the Whispers. So as of the end of Remake she no longer knows the future.
8:10 The whole bit where avalanche is bad at blowing up the reactor is actually a retcon, in the original their bomb blows up the whole plant, they decided to change it so they're not seen as killers but I'm not a big fan of the change, takes away the moral grey area of them going to extreme means to achieve their goals
Stumbled upon your video on my recommended page and I can't believe I set through all 2+ hours of it. It was fun watching you go through this game, always happy to see new players trying out this series. Thank you for the great content! I'm sure you're going to enjoy Rebirth a lot more, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it when it comes to PC.
I had an amazing time with it, and I'm really happy you enjoyed it, means a ton to me. Can't wait to play rebirth when it comes out, will be sure to make a video on it as well of course.
This video was super engaging man, I've already watched plenty of playthroughs since Remake and Rebirth came out but I really love how you let the cutscenes speak for themselves and stuff! Subbed, praying the PC version comes out soon to watch the Rebirth video man
Thank you man, I'm glad you liked it. Rebirth on pc can't come soon enough honestly.
DUDE you'll love Rebirth then, can't wait
Neither can I, pc release PLEASE square enix
Loved this!!! Always fun to see someone play through this and genuinely engage with the little details that make it special.
Hope you're able to play Rebirth when it releases on PC! It addresses so many of the issues in Remake (ex. pacing, side quests, aerial combat) and elevates the parts that were already solid (especially character interactions and story delivery).
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I can't wait for rebirth as I've heard so many good things, super excited for the pc release.
this is genuinely one of the most intertaining playthrough videos i’ve ever seen why the hell does it only have 19k views
Well I'm glad you atleast saw it and enjoyed it, I appreciate you
Man he ain't fine fym?!?!?!?
Awesome video though, i have to watch you in a big while glad you're active and still comedic
Glad to have you back o7
Feels like a breathof fresh air, to find someone who appreciates how amazing Remake is. With all the weirdos hating Remake/Rebirth, using arguments that show that those people didn't really even touch the OG for at least last decade, it's really special to find someone who sees this game the way it is! Love it!
Recently I've just beaten the OG again for god knows which time, beaten Remake for the fourth time, and playing through Rebirth for the second time. All are absolutely amazing, each one deserves tons of love
I absolutely loved this game, definitely one of my favorite games I've ever played. I'm glad you enjoyed watching it :)
"This is Tifa, but you already knew that, didn't you?"
Yeah that's what happens when the game is older than the person playing it.
Thank you for the "take a bio break my dudes" at 25 minutes.
Also I got a stitch in my side at your first encounter with the hallmark terror of final fantasy fans, since tonberries are RECURRING ENEMIES 😭😭 "Who's that little guy, Yoda?" "He ain't doin' much..." *Barret gets shanked* [Confused yelling]
He looked so cute and innocent I should've known better
I loved how you were constantly questioning what is real and what isn't. Like cloud has a headache and sees sephiroth and you are like ok he's not really there, but then sometimes other characters could see him and you were like "oh wait maybe he is there. But no hes flying and stuff, what is happening?" You're reaction is great and it is what you should be thinking lol. I hope you play part 2 and can put together more of what is happening. Rebirth is 10x better than this game, it blows it out of the water. I dig how you edited this whole game down to a few hours, very good.
I'm glad you enjoyed my confusion so much lmao. I can't wait for rebirth on pc, hope it's sooner rather than later.
After 1 hour 15 minutes I realised something's missing...... Where's Chadley?
I don't know if this is a controversial or unpopular opinion, but I didn't like chadley very much, and I also forgot to do his stuff. So, not only did I not like him much, but he also got neglected on accident. All in all, probably my bad.
@MilkManSteve it is definitely not a controversial opinion, you would be in the majority. If you ever intend to play Rebirth then.. May Chadley have mercy on your soul.
@@MilkManSteve chadley is more of a completionist side objective. with his own arena like challenges, and rewards. most summons for example are locked behind him.
@MilkManSteve I didn't bother with Chadly in remake, I don't care about arena and challenge stuff. Unfortunately, he must be one of the executives' favorite characters because they make certain you don't forget about him or miss him in Rebirth. Rare materia and summons are locked behind his area scan missions and memory games. And everytime you look through his menu or do a scan or something he bugs you about world data. Imagine if Purah or Zelda kept calling you on the tablet reminding you to go to the divine beast or to city every time you finish ruin or subquest?
@@MilkManSteveExcuse me, but that is Gigachadley to you, sir!
thats great and all steve but when does goku and vegeta get introduced to the story
2 hours in, but you gotta watch the first 2 hours to unlock it
The blue hue is because it’s early morning, before sunrise
Okay butttt, you can't fault me for thinking it was a dream sequence with everything else going on right
@@MilkManSteve absolutely! To be honest I had the exact same response as you when I first experienced it!
Probably should have led with that….
Would you ever play the original? That would be super interesting
Definitely not against it, would also be an interesting perspective since I've only played the remake version and I know the original is different.
@@MilkManSteve I really recommed it, I played the OG a month before Remake and it made me appreciate it so much more. It enhances the experience a ton and is just a really good game by itself. The graphics are something you get used to after a while, but if playing it doesn't work out well, there are many good playthroughs on TH-cam. Very much worth checking out.
@@MilkManSteve Remake is rather newcomer friendly, but Rebirth very much expects you to know the events of the original game, as well as Crisis Core and The First Soldier storyline from the Ever Crisis mobile game. That's a big reason why all three of those storylines are in Ever Crisis, and why Crisis Core got a modern remaster
Crisis Core is a big fat SPOILER to anyone who haven't finished OG FF7's story. Not recommended for newcomers.
Very fun watch, friend :]
Glad you liked it :)
Loved watching someone experience it fresh! They did a phenomenal job remaking the OG, kept/expanded the good stuff while fixing the bad stuff. However I still like the og more cus of the story being in 1 game and without the "fate" stuff (Opinon subject to change depending on Rebirth/Part 3). I'm also waiting for Rebirth to come to PC, been dying to play it. I'd highly recommend playing the OG at some point (before or after) depending on if you want to experience all 3 remakes first, or go into them knowing what would have happened, seeing as they will probably change the story a bit, up to you. Great video! You got the sub :)
I'm glad you liked it, and yeah I plan to play the original at some point, still haven't decided when though. Thanks again :)
48:30 So you don't realize that Cloud is helping the old man, by protecting him, from himself from going somewhere dangerous.
Had some other comments explain it to me a bit more and I think I get it now, without the context it is quite a funny interaction though.
2:18:17 I love this bit. It's a 1:1 recreation of one of the last scenes in the original, where Cloud uses Omnislash and takes out Sephiroth. But because this Sephiroth is apparently the guy from that timeline, or knows the future (or... something, I don't know, I'm on PC like you, and haven't played Rebirth) he's able to parry all of the attacks, since he knows what's coming. It's almost the entire game in miniature: People who played this before, you THINK you know where it's going, but you don't. We're throwing the script out the window like the Whispers threw Wedge.
I never knew that, pretty cool detail for fans of the original
OMG I loved this playthrough of yours. Your commentary was just too real on the strange things/choices that happen in this game. We OG fans sometimes I don't even question them anymore, but your fresh perspective provided surprising insights on someone who is experiencing this game in a bubble. Your comment on whether Red also got Sephiroth flashbacks got me sending.
Anyway, I sometimes heard guest voices and a few of them seem to know the OG? They just stopped by your streams or is that more of regular things, that you guys stream/play together?
Yeah a good amount of my playthrough since it was over several days was recorded in discord voice chats with different friends or sometimes solo. I would stream the game to them while playing and my one friend Lucas had played the game before and the original, so having his live reaction to some of my reactions I thought was entertaining. Any other voices heard throughout just happened to be in the call at the time for better or worse lmao. But I am glad you liked the video, I had no idea what I was getting into and was very happy with the result.
@@MilkManSteve That's pretty cool. It definitely set the vibe of how you played the game, and showed that the game can be enjoyable in a more "I don't take this all too seriously" surrounding. In my opinion they did a good adaptation but because of this adaptation of something so old, things are still weird sometimes right? From your commentary at least I can see a lot of "why is it like this particularly?" moments and I am sure there are a lot of more that didn't make it into the video...
@@birchgarden2238 There were a couple less important parts cut out and some times where I just forgot to record something that didn't make the final cut. But I still think the video has most of the main things and my reactions to them. That's just the cons of condensing a 30+ hour game into 2 and a half hours.
2:13:29 Guess no one pointed it out here - that was the ending cutscene from the original FF VII
Which is obviously there mostly for those who know, but it's worth noting for newcomers as well!
So the reason for the Cloud dress stuff is because in the original, you had to sneak into Corneo's mansion as well, but you had to go around town finding different pieces of the disguise. A wig, the dress, and undergarments that you take from a gentlemen's club. It's one of those things where it hasn't aged well (there's quite a few of those in the OG), in a 'Haha look at the man in the dress look at how emasculated he is' kind of way (it was also the 90's...). Leading up to this games release, people were wondering if they would include Cloud being in a dress at all, because it is something people remember from the game, but times have changed it might not be as accepted now as it was then.
They managed to find a way to include it in a way that's respectful, entertaining, but also managed to eclipse the original imo.
It was amazing and probably one of my favorite parts of the game. The entirety of wall market was exceptional.
I loved how they did it but I was so shocked to see cloud DANCING
Someone get this man a PS5 pronto!
Always nice to see someone's first reaction to a Tonberry, lmao.
I want to see it, the sequel
When it comes to pc I'll be sure to drop a video on it then
2:13:44 - 2:13:56 whole segment had me weak, but playing off of what Red said to the first vision was what got me the most🤣 Video reminded me a TON of Joseph Anderson, easy subscription🤝
I appreciate you king, glad you enjoyed it.
1:39:45
Ah yes, everyone’s first encounter with a Tonberry 👀
If you're still didn't know, Sephiroth doesn't made a physical appearance in the Midgar section in the og, only mentioned by named. He appears in Remake before the part he shows up because he is SO recognizable and a famous villain that everyone knows him with or without seeing his face
And it was a terrible choice.
I had no idea why he was a bad guy that whole game lol
@@mac1bc Because the game is kind of sort of a low-key sequel about Sephiroth going back to fuck with the events of the original story. I feel pretty strongly that the game is more or less built to specifically make people who've played the original feel uneasy, because, in-story, something's *wrong.*.
@@nicholasrova3698 Disagree, but I get it some people only want it to be exactly as it was. I like them leaning into him messing with Cloud's head to the utmost, since it was the actual main story of the OG
@@Dayv018 I didn't want it to be exactly like before, but more like before than whatever this is supposed to be. Showing Sephiroth early happened for 'member berries sake. It was basically dangling Sephiroth in front of people who knew who he was because he was an iconic character instead of for actual good story purposes. It felt like a decision made by some corporate suit. Whereas people who didn't know Sephiroth were robbed of the better experience of mystery the first one had. Still... it wasn't by any means the most egregious aspect of the remake, just silly in my mind. Lol. Also, there was this weird homo-erotic energy whenever Sephiroth was on screen taunting Cloud... it was odd.
cloud being an inconsistent character, i mean, yeah, that's his character alright. due to spoiler reasons just accept that, it makes logical sense when you discover the truth... IN PART 3!!!!! also no, its not a joke, this is a massive character detail that is explained in the last part of the story(of the original game, and the third game will talk about it).
No Yuffie chapter in the video. :(
I did play the yuffie chapter but thought it would have added even more length to the video and made it even more confusing lmao. Yuffie is one of the most fun characters to play though I will say.
@@MilkManSteve Need a followup video for the DLC my man. This was a great watch.
@@FinalFreak16 Thank you, glad you liked it. Unfortunately, I never recorded the dlc and just played it on my own spare time. Will probably end up making a new video for rebirth when that decides to release on pc tho, so that's something.
"super cancer" fucking killed me
Great video man. I had a similar experience when I first played this game. I was only able to play a little of the OG game because my dad's computer got damaged and had to be replaced. I also had a Wii U and that console didn't have an FF VII OG port. When this remake project came out, I unfortunately already knew about some major plot details from the OG game. Even still, I had a lot of fun playing this game, and the new story elements, while very confusing and convoluted, still managed to keep me invested. I can't wait for you to play Rebirth. You're going to love it!
I'm glad you liked it, I'm super excited for rebirth to come out, the pc release can't come soon enough.
I really wanted to hear why or how you hated Final Fantasy, but I guess we'll never find out?
...Hi, I'm new here, in case you couldn't tell. TH-cam recommended this video for me, probably because I consume a lot of Final Fantasy VII content. It was quite a pleasant watch this Sunday afternoon!
Yeah sorry about that, the originally video title was somewhere between this one and "first time player explains ff7". This one ended up doing a bit better so I left it as this, although the intro I had originally planned for this title was lost. I essentially just had no interest or care for any square enix games and so I was against them (probably had something to do with that awful avengers game they made). But, because ff7's characters interested me since they are EVERYWHERE in online media, I decided to try the game. It also was on sale and on pc so that added to it. Sorry if the title was misleading, I'm glad you seemed to like the video though, means a lot to me. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask :)
@@MilkManSteve Cool, thanks for the reply! I hope you have a lovely rest of your day.
@@kono84 of course, you too!
Video kept me watching the full length, was really fun to watch you experience the game for the first time, hope you enjoyed it! Final Fantasy X is another great game if you wanted to try more from the series, since it has a pretty good remaster. Dropped a sub :)
Glad you liked it, I appreciate it :). I'll look into FFX, haven't done much research into any final fantasy except 7, could be cool to branch out.
Glad you enjoyed the game!! Really interested to see someone who's not familiar with the lore having fun with it. You're pretty spot on there with everyone thirsting over Cloud 😂😂😂
should play the DLC. That you can play on PC. Introduces one of the other main characters of the game and adds more context to some of the events of rebirth.
I did play the yuffie chapter don't worry, didn't include it in the video as I thought it would add unnecessary length and confusion to the ending, but I did enjoy my time with it.
Great video but skipping that jenova fight is a crime against humanity. No way you weren’t going nuts during that banger.
And you might as well buy a ps5 from the money you get from this video. You could wait for the PC release, but honestly think rebirth and a few other games justify the purchase.
You thought this game was phenomenal, I did too…rebirth is the best game I’ve played in the past decade. 200 hours of content to 100% it.
Cheers.
I didn't intentionally skip the jenova fight I just forgot to record all of it lmao. Glad you liked the video though and trust me, a $500 ff7 rebirth machine is something that actively crosses my mind every day. I really can't wait to play that game.
If you wanna know more, FF7 crisis core would be where to go then with rebirth the dirge of Cerberus that’s where Vincent came from which is right after crisis core then it’s remake and rebirth. I’m hoping they do a DLC Vincent and Sid before part three
Bro's giving me the ff7 lore guide map. I appreciate it lmao.
@@MilkManSteve Final Fantasy 7 advent children, the movie parts of that are in the remake those are some of those memory cut scenes if you haven’t seen it it’s those possibilities of the future
@@MilkManSteve Be warned, Dirge is technically a sequel to the original, which means it contains spoilers for the original (and therefore Rebirth)
@@mwalvis43 advent children is what got me into FF7, ❤ my dad burnt a disc of it back in 2005 and I was OBSESSED. My dad ended up passing in 2007 and I would go on to play ff and KH games to try to feel closer to him.
Also I played dirge of Cerberus and couldn't beat the final boss cause I didn't have enough ammo 💀
lmao the barret singing compilation was amazing
are you gonna do a video on rebirth? id like to see that
I'd love to once it comes out on pc
Bro you read my mind, the first thing that I thought about when you keep mentioning eco terrorist is that clips of people destroying arts. Recently they are spray painting the stone hedge.
Edit:I watch the whole video. Man it's really fun watching someone whose positive about the game. All the streamers that got early copy complain so much that I decided to not play the game. The OG fandom war not happy with "ghost thingy". Sephiroth showing up every 5 second and the astronomical amount of padding. Yikes.
Tho I saw clips of the new 2nd game. The exploration and the open world look soo good.
You got my sub, can't wait for the 2nd game but take your time.
Tho you might wanna play Zack game first (maybe watch the movie??)or you can ask your friends about what's best.
I was very interested in the movie, probably will watch it soon. Also looked into the prequel game a little bit but still unsure if I'll play it or not. Glad you enjoyed the video though, I appreciate you :) Can't wait for rebirth on pc
This is one of the best playthrough of FF7 remake ever, it's been a good week watching part of the videos whenever I have free time. I'm so happy that you enjoy this game! Unfortunate that there's no recording of the Yuffie DLC but very excited for when you get to play rebirth for sure, it's gonna blow your mind haha
I literally can't wait to play rebirth, very excited. I'm glad you enjoyed my playthrough, means a ton to me :)
Just clicked on this. FF7 has a huge place in my heart. I love the story and the game always reminds me of my late dad. Do you have any plans on visiting the og? Or crisis core reunion? Ik theres mods for the og that make it a bit more pleasant to look at.
I have no immediate plans to play the original, although I'd probably like to sometime in the future. I have been thinking of playing crisis core just because I've heard its a sort of prequel that helps introduce some characters, which sounds pretty interesting, we shall see.
I'm not seeing an explanation in the comments, so I guess I'll give it for anyone curious.
The FF7 Remake games are sort of these "spin-off remix sequels", not one-to-one recreations of the original FF7 game. The original came out years ago, and many of the biggest twists have become common knowledge, which means the story would have less of the intended impact on new players. So, they decided to flip the idea of a "remake" on it's head, with the subtitle having a double meaning.
That being said, the premise in FF7 Remake is that Sephiroth, the one from the end of the OG game, somehow gets sent back to the start to relive the events. This first part is literally him goading Cloud and friends into defeating fate, so that he can eventually win the actual final battle. Aerith either always had premonitions, and hid them better in the OG game, or she got the ability here as a way to counter Sephiroth own foresight. Regardless, that's the reason they're acting differently (OG Sephiroth wouldn't really know Cloud exists at this point, and we wouldn't learn he is even still alive until President Shinra gets stabbed) and dropping hints/foreshadowing for OG game events ("You can't fall in love with me", "I see you failed again", etc.).
It's actually kind of cool. With destiny itself defeated, the players no longer have the original's plot to rely on. We no longer know if or which characters will die, if certain scenes will still occur, or if things will go completely off-the-rails. And a lot of effort was put into crafting this new take, which they didn't have to do, so that the Remake games can, decades from now, be remembered as more than just "the newer, prettier one".

Also, the humanoid cat with the crown that shows up when the plate falls is a character that is introduced later in FF7, and is just making a cameo here. It's name is "Cait Sith", which is from Scottish folklore ("cait sith" literally means "fairy cat"), and is actually pronounced like "caught shee".
"This shit was so coherent untill 2 hours before the end", welcome to my hell and the nonsense that is the remake changes
YES!!! Please play Rebirth, its such an incredible game and worth all the time and energy you inevitably put into it.
FF7 Remake was a very special game for me at the time since its what introduced me to the OG FF7, which is now currently my favourite game of all time.Though Rebirth has got to be my 2nd favourite video game of all time, right beside the OG. Its genuinely so fun to play and the pacing is wayyy better than remake. It has my favorite gameplay from a RPG, and since its adapting the best part of the OG games story, it lends to the whole experience being so special. I've fallen so deeply in love with the franchise in the past 4 years now, and Im so happy to see a new fan join the ride : )
cant wait for your playthrough of rebirth
I can't wait to play rebirth, the pc release can't come soon enough. I'm glad you enjoyed my playthrough, I appreciate it :)
Yo, i really enjoyed this video, i really love people experiencing this game. (Fresh and peeps who played the og). Will be looking forward to your +5h rebirth video.
Altho only a small note, be sure to check out reviews when pc version is out since square is notorious for butchering pc ports. Remake had some issues at launch, not sure if they got fixed or not, so not sure if they will make rebirth their first good port or not.
Got it, definitely something to look out for then, I appreciate the warning. Also, glad you liked the video :)
56:59 That’s like a B&B.
57:13 Your friend had it - Dongtong is like a name, but could also be roughly translated as “East-side”, and the rest is like a shopping street.
Your RL interactions are ducking awesome.
23:00 I'm happy i wasn't the only one to not read this on my first playthrough lmao, only figured it out on my rerun
Why would I read, must kill enemy brain empty
YESS! cant wait for Rebirth
1:40:00 ah yes.... I was waiting for the Tonberry trauma...
Holy shit it’s here
I haven't slept in 20 hours
2:04:40 Oh THANK YOU. Someone finally said it. Remake is like a reverse dating sim in which everyone is thirsty for Cloud.
And he was wanting NONE of it
HELP I HAVE NO IDEA IF I MADE THIS UP BUT I FEEL LIKE I REMEMBER SOMEBODY NAMED MILKMANSTEVE MAKING A SONG CALLED “tax evasion”
I REMEMBER SOME OF THE LYRICS:
Tax evasion, tax evasion
Got four counts of home invasion
I eat cereal with no (f) rasins
I’m just a cow who’s been grazin
IS THIS REAL OR AM I INSANE???????
How the fuck do you know about tax evasion
@@MilkManSteve was it real? I don’t know if it’s just headcannon
@@laminatedpeanutbutter it still exists on my channel, super old and barely any views, insanity
I need that PC port to come out just to watch you play Rebirth
You and me both
aint no way i fell for the clickbait 😭this was soso fun to watch and u def earned a new sub. also im glad im not the only one who thought everyone in the game wanted to get in cloud's pants lmao
I'm glad you ended up enjoying, I appreciate you
Your ad pissed me off but it was well executed lol 😂I couldn’t help but laugh when you said you know who is not evil?…. lol
What editing software do you use❤
A combination of sony vegas for the cutting down of most clips and small edits, and then adobe after effects for more advanced editing. I'm probably a bit outdated as I've just been using the same stuff I've known for the past 5 years, so there is probably better options out there if you're looking for something to personally use.
@@MilkManSteve I recommend Davinci resolve free version to try it out it has 90 percent of the features of the paid version but in the free version I use it has a built in after effects that’s better than after effects it’s called fusion it’s really good you should try it out it will save you money and it’s a lifesaver
@@MilkManSteve you should try out Davinci resolve free version I use it, it has 90 percent of the features in the paid version and in the free version it has this thing called fusion and it’s like after effects but it’s way better you should try it out it’s a life saver

Bro said Raid wasn't evil 😅
Always happy to welcome to a new fan
I'm glad to have finally come around
This IS a sequel by the way.
Final Fantasy VII REMAKE is a late entry into the Final Fantasy VII series or "Compilation".
glad you enjoyed it. i was new to ff when this released and had the same reaction to you in the end. rebirth is great too, hopefully its out on pc soon
Can't agree more, I wanna jump back into more of it so badly now
A lot of people don’t realize that a lot of these quests that they’re doing in remake Connect with what happens in rebirth if they don’t do all the missions they miss out on who the characters are
Im just subscribing for the eventual rebirth play through
I'll see you then o7
Loved your playthrough! It's really nice to see the perspective of a new player :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I had an amazing time with it :)
23:48 shinra really needs to do a mental health assignment for their super soldiers
I absolutely loved experiencing ff7 through your fresh perspective but i think i loved the commentary with the homies enen more!
Thanks for the entertainment! (:
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
very good vid, watched the whole damn thing
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Well I’m subbed! I wanna see you play rebirth!
I appreciate you, and I will 100% be playing it once it comes out on pc don't worry.
If you played the original FF7, the ending would make more sense. The whispers are basically the developers forcing you to follow the same story path as the original game. They show up whenever something could potentially change. Once you defeat them, the remaining story for games 2 and 3 becomes unlocked and can go anywhere.
Yeah I figured all that out by the end
Why do Americans always go for bullseye and not triple 20
programming
it's in our genetics to prioritize center mass
They grew up with their faces glued to a screen. They've never played darts in real life, so they have no idea what to do.
Sub for the Eventual 5 hour rebirth highlight🤣
On a side note anyone who like the turks
Just point them to the sector 7 plate
Collapse
We stan new Final Fantasy fans. Time for you to play XVI too!
If it ever comes to pc, maybe
I bought ps4 after they announced remake, I bought ps5 because of Rebirth, ff7 always be my most favourite ff. But ofcourse there are alot of great sony exclusive and 3rd party games I play along 💯
Hope you enjoy Rebirth
I can't wait
I thought the final line from Aerith was "I miss it, the steel sky." Am I tripping?
They changed it apparently about 5 months ago, think it had something to do with either translation or the new game, I'm unsure.
It was, but this is a more accurate translation. The original translation made sense because in remake it seemed as though aerith was just commenting on her distaste for the sky as portrayed in cc, since it took away zack and ifalna. But with rebirth there is a second implication, which is that aerith sees the broken sky that you see in rebirth, so it had to be patched
I always smile when I see people play a FFVII game for the first time. Glad that you enjoyed it. I love the original and love the Remake games even more.
I loved it, thank you for watching it :)
I recently finally played RE7R and thought it was fine. What brought it down for me was the shear amount of forced slow moving parts of the game. It was like Square Enix didn't want anyone to completely the game in less than a certain time or something. The slow ladder climbing, the really slow shimmy sections. I don't care if it's "unrealistic" someone can shimmy at Mach3. I'd rather that than 15 second of slowly going pressing right. Because they never add anything to the game except to pad
Those are definitely there as hidden loading screens, atleast the shimmy sections for sure since they are usually hidden and take a decent length of time. The ladders, yeah those are a bit more egregious.
