Dave! Robenhagen! There's a bonus scene in Nibelheim in the basement of Shinra Mansion! Explains certain things.
Yes! This! Definetly this!
As someone who’s never commented on what Dave does in this series, I’m very honoured to be mentioned as a stressed out viewer by Rob 😅
#vodsquad Being able to experience someone’s first time playing this amazing game at his own pace is such a gift. In a time when everything is too fast, too flashy, too overabundant, this series becomes something very precious. Thanks Rob and Dave, this is the true Rebirth of Final Fantasy VII for me ❤️
Very well said! Couldn't agree more
@@SomethingVeryWitty thank you! I’m loving this series so much and I just needed to say this 😊 I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so
Yay Yuffie sidequest! My favorite part of the game! I always replay this bit over and over!!!
Even after finding the materia trick. They still found a way to chill in the materia menu for a while 😂 Can't get enough of them menus.
Menuing is literally half the game if you play it right 🤣
It’s pure authenticity. You haven’t fully experienced an rpg if you haven’t spent hours wasting time in the menus.
How the hell did he do that? That's something I'm unaware of. Everyday is a school day. 28 year old game stop surprising
Rob knew us too well at the end, there.
I thought that 😂. I'll be honest though, even though I usually do it, I do agree that it's one of the worst parts of the game
@@ReproBates it isn't. that's just called sycophancy.
#VODsquad it is imperative that Dave finds and defeats ultimate weapon and explores the sunken airship. Just a suggestion ;)
Oh, and because it’ll be hilarious the ancient forest
and after meeting chocobo sage he has to do some chocobo breeding / racing. the chocobo race at gold saucer was loads of fun. i think dave will like it to a certain extent
There is no way Dave could've taken on the Gelnika at those Levels... even for the considerable rewards! 😄
The other suggestions are spot on though...
23:46 Bless you Robenhagen! You had me on the edge of my seat!
I was the one that commented about the quick materia change...but now I feel like we have shortened our lovely materia menu time! Sorry all lol So excited for this next bit!!!
“The next episode is going to be great”
I mean we have guaranteed a considerable amount of menuing next episode
#VODsquad If you press the assist button in a battle, you can see the name of the target you're targeting and any HP/MP of a monster you've sensed...once you get your materia back
You can actually just land right next to the city of the ancients, inside that crack in the ground for some reason (even though it’s not grass)
Just been listening to your redshirt cinema podcasts and now straight into this stream. As far as Monday's go, this has been pretty damn good. Thanks for all the amazing content guys!
Rob and Dave, go to Shinra Mansion's basement in Nibelheim, there's a secret cutscene
missed the awesome car ad fmv in shinra building too
Yes, go to the basement of Shinra mansion!
You know what’s weird? The game doesn’t call it the Sister Ray until it’s moved to Midgar, but when you climb on it as Tifa in Junon, it says “Sister Ray” on the side of the cannon. I noticed that on your playthrough.
yeah its always been the sister ray. i think it must be a glitch or something. always named in tribute to the velvet underground
I’m writing it off as a translation error. There were plenty of those, after all.
Love this series. Great job you two
Robenhagen is deep in the nostalgia during this epsiode!
Have to say I have been also.
Rob starts singing the ff6 victory tune- lol!
When I was a kid playing this, I didn’t have the internet to look up the code for the huge materia in the rocket. I wrote out every possible combination so X.X.X.X, X.X.X.O and so on and then tried them all in turn reloading the game when I failed. It took quite some time to land on the right combination.
I respect the commitment. I'm even less impressed with kid me learning it from the only other kid in my class who had already played the game. 😅
That sounds like it took quite a lot of patience.
Could be worse I didn't get it. And didn't get it till a couple years later when I downloaded a guide that had the code
You can land the highwind right next to the city of the ancients. No need to go through the sleeping forest.
Bugenhagen: "it's all Greek to me"
Cloud: "What's Greek?"
Bugenhagen: "........ I don't know"
You can do Midgar. All the side quests available now are still available on Disc 3.
You could almost say this is his "Davebut playthrough"
Love this series!
Yaaaaaas seeing dave use the materia trick. Ive been commenting that for ages.
I never had music gone during my PS4 playthrough, somehow it happens to you a lot
It happens if you play on PS5 - was a pain during a recent replay of mine. I think the port is a bit buggy. It's fine on a PS4 though!
#vodsquad I always get excited when its Monday because more Dave Strife and Robenhagen!!!! Then I get disappointed because I remember I live in Australia and have to wait until Tuesday to watch it
Same!
10 minutes into the video, and as soon as you see rocket town, I'm like, ⭕️🟥❌️❌️
Right important points!
*keep info bar at bottom of screen during fight and the sense info stays in the bar
*big gaurd in enemy skill is like m barrier and barrier for all.
*you can land next to mushroom thing near city of the ancients.
*press run away for a split second when back attacked to right the direction you're facing.
*shinra mansion basement has another scene worth checking out.
*will Dave be breeding chocobos to gain access to various secret areas?
keep em coming
If Robenhaugen tells Dave what the giant materia is really for, Dave has lots of grinding ahead of him
Wutai.... in this case it's going to be the calm before the storm.
I've only been catching the VOD lately, as work has been crazy. Ho hum.
I think you can swap materia by the players name and swap both weapon and armor all same time.
I always do the Wutai side quest much much earlier than this. But any of the random side quests disrupt the ending tension. Chattinf with Chocobo Sage certainly doesnt scream "end of times".
Think about grabbing the Contain Materia sometime!! Want to see that in action. Scratch the white chocobo behind the ear and give him a mimmett green 💚 🐔
He doesn't respond though if you don't have enough Greens, and Dave hadn't bothered with that side of things, so...
Did Rob say to give Yuffie the long range materia? And Barrier? When she already has enemy skill Big Guard available?
Rob really hates Wutai…Are we sure he’s not part of Shinra?
Bugehnagen was another cait sith
#Vodsquad I'm on holiday in Devon and I'm still tuning in. Wouldn't miss an episode for the world
Surprised no one knew the materia trick! You can actually click on the character name and swap ALL the materia at once, if i remember correctly...
Oh, we know. They just don’t listen to us 😆
Someone set Dave up the bomb!
Weekly highlight. Sit down and enjoy some more Dave Strife.
Why does the music keep failing to load? I don't remember that happening as much as this.
1:09:36 you can definitely park the Highwind there
Don't really like the Wutai sidequest but at least it means more episodes before it ends
Also, when Dave says Magic Source is sounds like magic sauce, which I giggled at. Dave gives Dave all the magic sauce to make him more powerful
how can you not like it? it reveals so much about a different culture - the last bastion against Shinra.
@@seanp8220 you got good point, I guess I was mostly thinking the items you get from completing aren't essential
can confirm that all huge materia changes nothing, one playthrough i let them have it all to see as a kid lol
Got my fake "live" comment read out on stream, thank you Robenhagen.
more final fantasy 7 HYPE!!!!
You could've landed just past Bone Village right next to the entrance past the sleeping forest. Would've saved a couple minutes. Going to be a shame for this to end, maybe more Final Fantasy lets plays?
Could have sworn bahamut zero came from the Corel mission, but it’s been a while
My life has been in a dark place, and Dave Strife and Robenhagen have been one of the lights in the darkness! Thanks for the entertainment.
and everyone else...
It's hard to believe we are getting so close to the end. And there is still so much to do. There is powerful naturally formed materia to collect. The Chocobo Sage will reveal more every 10 battles. Chocobo Racing & the Battle Arena at the Gold Saucer have some good prizes. Don't forget at the bottom of the ocean there is the sunken ship with the tough enemies (and some other things).
And that's just a few things. Also, a lot of that you can do after your revisit to Midgar though the rewards may be different. In fact, you have to wait until after that revisit to get Cloud's....uh, I mean Dave's...Level 4 Limit Break and Red XIII's ultimate weapon.
With a gold chocobo, or even a mountain one, I think, you can bypass bone village and go right to the City of the Ancients because you can walk right to the exit of the sleeping forest bit.
You can also land the ship on the path inside the ravine, directly outside the Forgotten City.
Nearly on save slot 10
Don't worry Dave. Deep down even Robenhagen knows that everyone should see Wutai at least once. This is the Way.
altho the monsters in the pagoda are gonna be a piece of pish
All I can say is if Rob really thinks the Wutai side quest is boring, then (1) he doesn't remember it that well (which is clear since there was no reason to do Yuffie's materia yet), and (2) he could have had Dave do it during a less climactic part of the game. What's the point of getting Yuffie anyway, if you don't do this bit of the game?
Late to catch up on this but it’s a ruddy joy
Nah, even if the four Large Materia are on it doesn't work. Shinra even knows it isn't going to work. Especially since the characters know that feeding Meteor more Lifestream energy is a bad idea.
Finally catching a live stream! Great to chill out after having a dental appointment.
1:19:59 the fact this isn’t needed for this part of the game makes it hilarious 😂
The hate for Wutai from Robhagen..... He must be Shinra
Fingers crossed for Wutai next week 🤞
I have beaten this game over 10 times. Probably closer to 20. I have never seen that cutscene with the plane taking off from Junon. My mind is blown.
Also Dave don’t forget. You can select the character’s name to move all of their materia in one go.
it was on the preview of the game before the game even came out. the rocket too.
Show Wutai some respect
only non westernized place in the game really
@seanp8220 yeah you're probably right.
Interesting to think what each city/ continent represents
I should've said this on the last video but Rob seems to have forgotten how limit breaks level up.
Kill 80 opponents for a level up.
Glad you’re just playing however you like and you’re ignoring the backseat gamers.
They’re not though. They’re doing Wutai even though Rob clearly doesn’t want to.
Should pass on the Yuffie side quest and do some Chocobo racing and breeding in order to obtain THAT materia.
Wutai is at war with Shinra. It's vital to extend the world building.
I really am going to have to go back to ep 1. I still cant get out of that big corp building at the beginning... its a maze...
Enjoy your play through!
Uhh cant wait
Algo comm. 🎉❤
Robenhagen is in Los Angeles?! I just moved there this weekend.
Welcome to LA!
if he's gone to find himself on walkabout he went to the wrongf place
Wooohooo!!! Wutai next week…..
Hunt down the flying weapon (Ultima) and keep doing that until you can't any more....
Also, I quite like the Wutai side quest! Could have been done when getting the Tiny Bronco as good for levelling.
Curious did Rob manage to ever get the master master materias? That's something I never managed
If you can beat Emerald you get a set for free... no mean feat, I know, but easier than 1000 hours + Grinding 😉
I had been wondering if I had missed an episode or if you hadn't gone to Wutai. Now I know. Lol
I think theres probably a conspiracy to keep Dave from knowing about white wind. lol
Robenhagen prob forgot, lol, plus Angel Whisper is much better at the Endgame...
they still havent learnt that you can click the name and exchange all materia! not just one row at a time!
I have been screaming this nearly every week. Surprised people weren't going nuts in the live chat each time he took 5 minutes to exchange materia. The funny thing is I don't think he has to do it again 😂
I'm sorry, what?! Gotta try this out.
@@paulcadogan4940haha I’m with you commenting here and there. They’ve at least made it somewhat quicker!
You don't need to earn every limit break to use the 4th level, you only need to unlock the first level 3 limit. You could have used Cosmo Canyon episodes ago.
FYI ❤
Ahh, so the quest Rob was initially mad at was the Pagoda one, and he had completely forgotten about the materia quest.
Rob, this has the Turks, Don Corneo and Yuffie back story. It's a *brilliant* quest!
Why does dave use barrier materia when the enemy skill barrier is superior? Or am i mistaken ?
Cos he's still learning.
@@jomega_gaming well i hope he reads that comment it will help him out alot
coz he's not very good? lol
@@jomega_gaming still?
@@seanp8220 i mean giving that robenhagen was the one that told him to get this skill i always wondered why he just never mentioned it again.
Then again he fid say he was gonna let dave play it as he wants
Will you do the turtle paradise side quest
So fun fact, if you have enough materia in your inventory, yuffie hits a limit and you still keep whatever is over her limit.
Really!?😮 Did NOT know this. I think I've never skipped the area once it's reachable so not enough materia at that point.
I lost count of how many times I said “STEAL” at my phone during Diamond Weapon fight.
diamond weapon was far too easy. nothing exciting about the fight at all...
The Sun Set on that one 🥲 No biggie, though. Dave doesn’t really use Yuffie
Hopefully you''ll walk Dave through the easy Gold Chocobo glitch after he beats the game so he can harness the power of KOTR.
This!! It takes maybe a half hour? Totally worth it IMO
Wow that was the most worthless I've ever seen Cid be in that lock puzzle.
I sure hope Dave is going to play Remake, Intermission and Rebirth after he finishes the OG
Yuffie + Conformer = easy Morph
Are you using ps1 console? Or an emulator?
If console, how are you streaming it?
Likely just playing on PS5 and just using a PC with a capture card to stream with something like OBS
Dave received trophies. So this is PS4 or PS5... (betting PS5)
Coke not Dr Pepper Rob.......🙀
Dr P now has Sweeteners in it, which has ruined it. Don't know if that's Rob's reasoning, but it sure is mine...
what does Rob have against Wutai though...the 'ruins the momentum of the story' argument doesn't really hold water because the player isn't forced to do the sidequest only at this point in the game, they could have done the quest earlier on. disclaimer that Rob is my favourite access member and I basically discovered the channel through his videos but it is pretty bizarre how his mood suddenly soured around the whole Wutai thing. I do get the annoyance around viewers being pushy and backseating about stuff but I'd honestly rather Dave skip it if Rob is going to be so miserable throughout the entire quest.
Honestly, I was more annoyed at them returning to Bone Village to dig for the Sector 7 key before fighting Diamond Weapon. Talk about a momentum killer 😅
Sector 5* key
Robenhagen can you please tell Dave you can swap whole rows of materia between characters if you press left when on the materia exchange menu. I am one more protracted materia swap from a brain aneurism.
Never mind you did it thank the lord, it was me with the tip last week Dave. You and everybody else are welcome.
@@Mckolas_whistling_front_teeth have to re-edit all the old ones now to ommit the slack materia swapping
