My personal favorite aspect is the enemy skills. Initially, I thought it was acceptable that the remake only included four of them. However, witnessing the stunning visual impact of Trine when the materia guardian used it against Cloud and Sephiroth in the demo left me utterly impressed. It's a game-changer! Let's make our voices heard , the devs should expand the roster of enemy skills.
I've got my hopes up that someone of the side content will be an Enmey Skill hunt, so to speak. When j think of just how many ES were found in this part of the game, they've got to have 8 to 12 of them jn Rebirth. .....I hope.
Less than a week out from Rebirth and this video is so very helpful. Not even 10 minutes in and I’ve learned more than I have playing the games naturally (it takes me a bit to pick up and connect concepts). It’s also very entertaining so thanks for that.
I initially did for myself but then I was filled with too much knowledge that making videos was the most constructive way to get it out. Believe me, things get juicy 😎
This was a good timeline of the series. At first I thought you were pronouncing Lucretia/Lucrecia's name incorrectly, but hearing the voice acting I can see why. I had a look and the Japanese version lines up, too. Will take a while for my ears to adjust. Watching Part 2 after this. Cheers.
Great video only one thing I wanna mention though. Remake is kind of reconing the whole Aerith is the sole survivor of the Cetra, which makes sense if you think about it. How can a full blooded ancient be around after 2000 years if 99.9% of them were killed off back then? They changed the script in remake when Elmyra states “Aerith is the Sole Survivor of the Ancients” to “ She is “Probably” the last of her kind. Even Hojo makes a quip saying Ifalna was the last “Pureblooded” ancient. This is setting up there may be more half-blooded or mixed Cetra out there somewhere. And honestly there has been a theory out for years (like back when Advent Children came out years) that Marlene is also part Cetra. Even in OG FF7 she has always been very keen to things that a normal 4 year old should not be. The final CGI scene in the original game she can sense Holy and the lifestream and Aerith before it’s even visible anywhere by midgar while she was all the way over in Kalm. Don’t even get me started in Advent Children stuff either the entire movie she is very in tune with everything and is the literal stand in for Aerith’s role 100%. She even knows where Clouds Geostigma is located before and he literally has told no one about it. The remake scene with them both I am fully confidently say is not Aerith giving her a future glimpse of the timeline…every future glimpse involves Blue/Green magic orbs and is instantaneous upon a touch. There was no magic orb with Marlene and she was hugging her for about a full minute before the thing happens….the world vibrates and she instantly calms down and Aerith wants her to keep whatever they experienced together a secret. Why? Because if they find out another ancient is around she would be a target the rest of her life. And lastly she tells Zack a scary man will kill her when she wakes up from her coma….if Aerith showed her the future, it would have been OG timelines future not Zack lives now future where everyone else is dead and Cloud and Aerith are both in a coma future….Aerith didn’t even know Zack is still alive until AFTER they kill the Arbiter of Fate and left Midgar.
I agree that they are heavily hinting at Marlene being a Cetra. I was going to start down that rabbit hole when I got to Advent Children. I say 99.9% but its most likely 90%. But because up until Ifalna, the Cetra were basically just legends and folk tales, trying to think about other surviving pureblood Cetra up to Ifalna is just fruitless at this point since the writers haven't really focused on it. At least until Remake. Great observations though. I'll definitely credit you when the time comes. ;)
i am taking the week off dor Rebirth release !! I will also be streaming but its more for sharing the experiences of this game with fellow enjoyers which i cant imagine a better thing to do !!!
I did a compilation of ff7 marathon myself, and I went into the deep weeds on this, hell I looked up the story of Dirge of Cerberus multiplayer (CAUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY A SHORT LIVED THING IN JAPAN) with translations in the cutscenes
When is part 2 coming out? I know you had covid and it is hard I understand but I really love your ff7 content and cannot wait for part 2 of you covering even more details. As a ff7 remake nerd, I can fact check and say you video was perfectly accurate. Love your content and cannot wait for the next one. ( I also understand what you are going through I had covid like 5 times. Don’t want to come off as rude I just love your ff7 content @Greysupernova)
I know this is off topic but I really hope that 7 years from now when FFVIIR-3 comes out they release it on January 31st and on 3 discs, just like the original. Bonus points if it makes it out by 2027 marking 30 years to the day!
They never call the planet Gaia or Earth in Remake or Rebirth nor in OG FF7. If you want to call it a name, just call it Hoshi since they always call it that in Japanese. In English they will sometimes call the planet 'she' or 'her' but in Japanese they always say Hoshi. If you need any additional reason to think of Hoshi as a name, the communications officer on the Enterprise was Hoshi Sato.
@@iNsOmNiAcAnDrEw Ya it gets to the point that in my later Parts where I just refer to it as “the Planet”. They also don’t have the years addressed as 2000 or anything. Past 1999, they address the years as 0001 and so on. For everyone’s sake, I still address it as 2000 and up because at that point it’s semantics
My waifu is actually Aerith. Guess I can’t like or sub 😢. In all seriousness and unpopular as this may be, I’d like to know what kind of star system did Jenova come from. Is she just some kind of Lavos like in Chrono Trigger? Or is she one of many other Jenovas just flying about the universe and eating worlds?
The calendar we use in IRL is based off the birth of Jesus, Anno Domini , "Year of our Lord" as it were. FFVII calendar begins at the approximate crash of Jenova. Hope that clears it up.
I guess I can't suscribe because Aerith is my girl ): Jokes aside, thanks for putting this all together. It's been...a while. I had even forgotten the Before Crisis reveal about Rufus and Avalanche until someone jumpscared me with it recently, I'm vaguely dreading how many details.
Ready to be hit with a painful nail... The planet's name in Japanese is Hoshi, or "Star"... Now check out Bugenhagen in the rebirth trailer in the planetarium.. it appears we will get the proper name, as opposed to the name given to it by western magazines based on the similar FF the Spirits Within, which similarly has an earth Gaia(LifeStream) versus an alien Gaia (Jenova, alien LifeStream).
Why do you need to know anything? Why can't you just go in and play a video game for the first time without knowing every possible detail there is to know?
Pro tip. Just play the original. Mod it if you need to. The remake is terrible. The only decent thing about it is the music. They raped the best game ever made
This was very frustrating to watch. There is some really good stuff here: video editing, sound editing, logical flow of thought, good pacing… and then every two and half seconds there’s a desperate attempt to make a joke which comes off as both pandering and whining. Backing off the poor attempts at humor would drastically cut down your run time and streamline the entire video.
I appreciate your input, and understand that what I think is funny isn't for everyone. But at the end of the day, I want to make something that I like. If these videos were was just information spewing, my ADHD brain would've given up making this series months ago. Thank you for the comment
@@graysupernova I apologize for being brusk and rude. I could have given my input more politely and from a standpoint of kindness. You’re right that humor is subjective, it just seemed to me that perhaps the attempts at jokes were a bit heavy handed and too frequent. I think a bit of humor would fit nicely into a video like this, but it seemed to be the focal point instead of a nice sprinkling of levity. I’m not suggesting the omission of humor entirely, just to ease up on it a bit. Like I said, you’ve got a lot going for you here. Your production does a lot of things very well; better even than most videos like this I’ve seen. At the end of the day, as you said, you must make something that you like and that you’re happy with. Hopefully the agitations of one internet irritant haven’t dampened your enthusiasm to continue your work.
I truly do appreciate the criticism. As well as the kind words on the reply. Luckily for both of us, these next videos going forward actually have more humor in the form of furthering my points as opposed to going off the rails. My personality isn't very well know to people so I felt I should reveal a bit more in the first video. Hope you like it!@@worldsbestpantz3445
Sorry you didn't like bro. I can definitely see why and respect that you at least gave it a chance. If you have that FF7 itch that the Remake didn't scratch, highly recommend 7th Heaven mod manager with the Steam Final Fantasy 7. I was playing through New Threat 2.0, no joke, the best FF7 experience I have EVER had.
That Matt Mercer Vox Machina clip was SO well timed. You have great comedic timing. Just finished Rebirth, so I'm eating good today
Amazing video man! I loved it and now i'm on an FF VII Marathon to prepare for Rebirth!
This was really entertaining and well put together, looking forward to more!

HERE, HERE!!! White Wind was my go to for every playthrough. Super useful when you don't have All+Cure and All+Esuna
I've got my hopes up that someone of the side content will be an Enmey Skill hunt, so to speak. When j think of just how many ES were found in this part of the game, they've got to have 8 to 12 of them jn Rebirth. .....I hope.
@@Calculusman1084 I hope too. It will go down a number score if i have less than 8 skills
Dude, I’ve been a huge fan of everything FF7 and you just taught me so much.
Happy to help! Glad I achieved my mission with the video
This is the first video I've seen of yours, and I'm thoroughly entertained. Keep 'em coming!
Loved the video. Looking forward to part 2!

Loved this video 🫶🏼 looking forward to part 2!
You did a great job on this video. Definitely subscribed
Incredible video and editing! You earned yourself a subscribe. On to part 2.
Just the video i was looking for. I’m a new player In FF so everything lore wise seems daunting AF. Thanks for the video!!
Yo you need more subscribers. Underrated YT'er right here. Keep em' coming.
Amazing video, excited for the future parts!
Great production quality my man
Looking forward to the next episode!
subscribed :) really liking your vids. hopefully you have all the parts out before Feb 29th. lol
That was a hilarious UA-camr cameo between NSP, Blitz and Max 😂
i like how you touched on the materia for the purpose of covering its importance in the story. and then nodded to it subtlety. well played 😂
I just subbed, and this is a Great video. superb on the video editing with the sourced out clips on every subject. Explaining the history and product
Love your video! Keep going 😁
I love how you took the scene with Vincent and put the clip of Matt Mercer in there😂 perfect
I went through TeamFourStar’s Machinabridged for the refresher lol thx for digging deeper for us 😎
I initially did for myself but then I was filled with too much knowledge that making videos was the most constructive way to get it out. Believe me, things get juicy 😎
Great video! As others have said, educational AND very entertaining.

Great video, loved the quotes from Advent children and the music, keep it up for feb 29th 👌😂
Great video man! Fun an informative :)
I would love to see a Jenova horror like scene of her landing and taking out Cetra in scary ways
Wait till I get to the novels. Got a great JENOVA-like moment that had me going 0.0
@@graysupernova LET'S GOOO !!! I'm looking forward to the video !!
Does this have spoilers for anything because the only final fantasy 7 media ive played or even watched is ff7 remake.
1:59 - 2:10 Hope that helps
4 weeks waiting for the next part of this, I'm waiting sir :D
I understand how TeamFourStar feels :P Its coming

Currently playing remake
When’s the next part ? This is the best breakdown I’ve seen of the story in an engaging manner
Currently editing Part 2 but I got the geo-stigma know as COVID so I'm hoping to have it at the end of next week.
Hope youre feeling better. Came to the comments to see if the next part was near finished and saw this. Get well.@@graysupernova
I had no idea that Nibelheim was the location of the first reactor 😮 that would explain why Jenova was originally stored there of all places

FFVII New Threat 2.0. Its amazing

Damn. This is good.
Dude you got about 8 subs today . You should actually do more ff7 content
That's pretty much all I'll be doing until Rebirth. Potentially after as well to discuss my thoughts, feelings and theories. Thanks for the support! ❤
What I'd like to know is if my materia and stats will carry over
My waifu is actually Aerith. Guess I can’t like or sub 😢.

We need Part 2!!!
nice video
Commenting for the algorithm 👍
Part 2 when?
I had the COVID and had to move in a winter strom. I'm trying, bro! 😅 Hopefully this Sunday
@graysupernova6598 glad to hear it! Hope your feeling better and settled well. Looking forward to more content, this was a great first recap
14:17
I'm sorry isn't this the Umbrella Lab under Raccoon City? 😂 see same universe
Dude I was gonna make a similar video on my channel. I subscribed
What do you mean by “instead if Jesus, we have Jenova”?
The calendar we use in IRL is based off the birth of Jesus, Anno Domini , "Year of our Lord" as it were. FFVII calendar begins at the approximate crash of Jenova. Hope that clears it up.

I will forever pronounce it may-ko
7:30 Actually it’s midichlorians
INSERT COVID JOKE HERE 😂😂😂😂 You get a sub, sit!
Funny enough, the joke was on me because three days after my post, I got the VID
Ready to be hit with a painful nail...

I didn't know that. I prefer "Star" over "Gaia". I'll address it as such from now on.
Since this is a “things to know before FF7 Rebirth”. Why use footage from that game?
King shit making these
You actually like the remakes? Did you hate the original?
You lost me the moment you said “its more akin to a sequel”.
I subscribe coz I support Tifa, not Tifa and Cloud, just Tifa
😂 HOLY JENOVA....
Covid joke inserted
