This is an excellent piece of criticism. Instant subscribe! Your bit with the caption on it being dire to use AC as a bar for "ff7 understanding" got a genuine guffaw out of me.
Great video! The cliffhanger ending is such a threat. But Square's the one who put the threat on the table so I understand and respect that you have to address it.
Excellent video your editing is incredibly confident here. Actually never played Crisis Core knew you destabilised Wutai to extract mako and assumed it "knew what it was doing" so it's very funny to find out that it actually wasn't at all critical of the evil mega corp for having a paramilitary organisation that aids it in its goals.
The Wutai stuff is the closest the game gets to being actually compelling in this regard but it's over before it even begins, really. The conversation I show in this video is legitimately the only time the Wutaian perspective is presented. Getting ahead of myself here but I am extremely happy that Remake has dug much more into the Wutai stuff.
fuck yeah. i replayed CC a few years back after playing through it once as a FF7 fanboy in high school and i was aghast at basically all of what you talk about. Zack fuckin sucks! He learns that Shinra is gangstalking him and his girlfriend and he thinks it's fine! A goddamn shinra killdrone rocks up to his gf's place and the NSA agent watching her says it must have been a malfunction don't worry about it! Like, he's either the most amoral person to ever exist or he's so stupid it makes Shinra more evil for hiring him at all. And yeah, if it was written more competently, more honestly, with more daring, they could have made it a story really worth telling! Zack and Angeal having their dreams corroded and worn down until they're clinging to some ephemeral conception of honor as some veil to hide their guilt, Sephiroth becoming more bitter as his only friends desert Shinra - and, by extension, him - hell, even Genesis could be compelling as he reckons with being Ship of Theseus'd out of his own body by the alien cells replacing his own with identical copies he doesn't control, delaying his own death by turning people who look up to him into copies of himself, constantly reciting the same poem because, so long as he still remembers it, as long as it still means something to him, it means he's still himself. They could have cooked! Looking forward to and dreading Rebirth in equal measure, but only looking forward to your follow-up!
After watching this video, my feet were already under the blanket and my boyfriend smiled. Let's just say I made him feel better because of this video :')
I got it on switch thinking "I can play this on the journey to my girlfriend in Finland" and then while I was still at the airport waiting to board I already had to switch to a different game lmao
@@finnj.1786 i guess in the end its nostalgia for me cause i used to play it on the way to and back from school, oor while waiting till club activities started. I remember being glued to my phone(i had a psp emulator since my parents were strict) and when i finally was an adult and got my first paycheck i bought a psps and the game and binged it. Might be nistalgia or that its literally better on the psp but i love the game. But something with the remaster feels akward
Great video. Youve fully converted me on my perception of crisis core

So used to reading your reviews in my own tone of voice, so this is an interesting experience for me lol
Anyway, as is typical for you, this rules!

@@Woodaba Oh!
33:52 Justin Trudeau
what did he mean by this
If Sephiroth is ur husband does this mean I can nab Bakura
you can try.............
My biggest mistake was buying the remaster to the ps5 and not the switch cause its so hard to sit through it in session longer than 30 minutes max
I got it on switch thinking "I can play this on the journey to my girlfriend in Finland" and then while I was still at the airport waiting to board I already had to switch to a different game lmao
