I can tell Leigh probably hasn't seen Advent Children from her reaction to Roche on his motorcycle. "That's not what vehicles do!" would've totally been her reaction to Cloud's motorcycle fight with Kadaj, Loz, and Wazoo.
So glad to see I wasn't the only one who cried as soon as Aerith's theme kicked in. There's just something about that moment in particular that's just so...magical.
You didn't pay attention! President Shinra very clearly signaled Heidegger to trigger an intentional demolition of the reactor after Jessie's explosive merely took out a small portion. The large-scale destruction was Shinra's own doing to paint Avalanche as destructive eco-terrorists. And this very detail plays into the added tragedy of Jessie's death...because she goes on thinking that SHE botched the bombs and caused all that damage and hurt all those innocents....but it wasn't her bomb.
I played the original in 1997 on the first pc. This game is a unique story in the world of video games. I liked this remake even more. Excellent video.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is gonna be a really special game to follow this next couple of years and your Journey through the games is gonna be so fun to watch as this video shows. Great Playthrough so many fun moments in it!
I wanted to mention about your comment, the original FF7 97' Cloud was a writing tool, pretty much a blank slate to showcase the other characters. No memory, only opinions are the ones that the player gives. The main characters actually create cloud, Tifa (friendship, loyalty), Aerith (love, sacrifice), Barret (camaraderie , family), Sephiroth (purpose, meaning), Red 13 (identity, religion, a soul), Cait Sith (guilt, regret, redemption), etc Cloud is meant to bring the plot front and center, it literally takes his death and rebirth to make him the Cloud we know at the end, that goes and saves the planet and defeats those in the way. The cloud in the remake has a lot more personality, but at his heart the developers still are leaving him as a 'reflection' of the main characters as he is built. Well his loss of memory is also tinged with a hint of a past moment in a "another life" then just his past, one that both Aerith and Sephiroth both seem to know a little more then they are letting on. Love the drama!
I have nothing constructive to add here, but my brain DID immediately go "OcaREMAKE of Time" and I felt like if anywhere on the internet would appreciate that it would be the comments section of a lee ex pee youtube video
Just found your channel and really like your vids. So great to see others freaking out over this game like I do. 😂 This game has been my favorite of all time since 1997 when I was 10. I went through a lot back then and this game really saved my life.
I don't know how purist fans feel about it but the twist about the Whispers was very surprising and exciting to me. It makes replaying the game interesting with the added context.
If anyone's still wonder why Sephiroth shows up so frequently in Remake, well...have you heard of the "Jaws effect"? That played a part in Sephiroth's grand reveal near the end of Disc 1 in the original. His role in the story was completely unknown up until we saw his sword in President Shinra's back. It's like how we waited until we finally saw the big shark. ...Of course, these days, things have changed. Sephiroth is VERY well known now, so the Jaws effect wouldn't have worked again. Thus, Remake gave him a very different role, as a recurring horrific presence. A nightmare hounding our every step.
Hey Leigh, thanks for sharing this. You are awesome. I've the content. Thank you so much. Had a real bad month. Stuff like this is helping me a lot... I feel the same way about all of this... cats and all... I wish I lived in that dirt pile full of cats... 🐈
yay! i really enjoyed your playthrough! im glad you made these videos for posterity haha these reactions are gold. also cant wait for the ending when you beat the final boss! holy shit that was fucking awesome
If you want a super-emotional game with super-fun gameplay, fantastic visuals, and jaw-dropping music, try Ori and the Blind Forest, and its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Don't play it on Hard Mode, though, because it'll probably murderize you even on Normal.
Oh ffs this made me realise, THAT part is going to completely kill me, I couldn't handle the intro with cloud and aerith, not ready, well never be, will play through though. It you weren't paying attention, she recognised him.
Ya know Cloud wasn't exactly no Zack cause all he had was that dickhead attitude and only cared about money. He just didn't have the heart & soul of a TRUE HERO like Zack. Besides Cloud isn't exactly himself and he has a serious problem as you saw here.
You spend all this time gushing about music and who's pretty.....which is fine, but....the NPCs in this game received so much attention to their number and individuality as well as the countless voice actors because of the primary theme of this game, and especially the revamped decision to highlight the human fallout of the events......characters have things to say! and they say them to immerse you and drive the major theme of the game home. But you just dismiss their dialogue and design to see more Tifa. Imagine being an actor for this thing, and you see some player like yourself just blow right past you..."Move!" and...they're forgotten. But they actually had things to say....takes just a second to listen.
That's the issue with background details like that. They enhance immersion, but don't stand out even if they're done well, and it doesn't make for great highlight reel material either. But still... I was staggered at the amount of recorded NPC dialogue in this game. It's truly immense. I don't think anyone will ever hear all of it in one playthrough unless they're very deliberate and systematic about it. I can say in the fallout of the first Mako reactor explosion it really helped drive the weight of that event home for me.
ok, sure :P You see Tifa flirting with Cloud - you gush. You see Jesse flirting with Cloud - instant screw-face. LOL - you cant hide it. But so looking forward to your next videos. Looking forward to your reactions

I love Advent Children so much.
Its so bad yet easily so good.
You mean the one where he gets shot in the head? Yeah it was pretty cool. How does link beat that?
I seen it once and I can’t remember that guy lol
I bought PS4 just for FF7R.....at age 46.
My man
Making responsible monetary decisions is the sign of a true adult 👍
RESPECT +100000
RESPECT +7
...Never mind
RESPECT + 7777777
9:25
"Look at his face! Look at his hair. I just wanna touch it!"
Cloud: "Please don't. I'm not in the mood."
Tifa: "Four guys. At a MINIMUM."
Barret: "You know, 'cuz there's so much to hold on to"
@@Ingisen lmao tfs
Between you and Nyxipuff, the competition for Tifa’s heart is intense, but like Zack said:
“Embrace your dreams and protect your honor!”
“No one’s going to attack you, I promise…”
…Proceeds to get attacked by whispers and Shinra five seconds later.
It's only now that I realize she's probably referencing the Turks, who are usually watching over Aerith to some degree.
So glad to see I wasn't the only one who cried as soon as Aerith's theme kicked in. There's just something about that moment in particular that's just so...magical.
I was fanboying over Tifa almost as hard as you are. DAMN she look good.
I always say this to everyone I watch playing FF7
anyone who sits down and listen to the prelude have my absolute respect.
When the game arrived I had to do homework. I installed it at the same time and when it was finished I heard like 1 hour to the prelude
You love Tifa and cats. We are kindred spirits.
You didn't pay attention! President Shinra very clearly signaled Heidegger to trigger an intentional demolition of the reactor after Jessie's explosive merely took out a small portion. The large-scale destruction was Shinra's own doing to paint Avalanche as destructive eco-terrorists.

I'm here for the reactions and this is not disappointing

28:12 "Right in front of everybody??"
Total power move
Final Fantasy 7 Remake is gonna be a really special game to follow this next couple of years and your Journey through the games is gonna be so fun to watch as this video shows.

Love the drama!
We should have a remake as significant as this for Zelda the Ocarina of Time
I have nothing constructive to add here, but my brain DID immediately go "OcaREMAKE of Time" and I felt like if anywhere on the internet would appreciate that it would be the comments section of a lee ex pee youtube video
could you imagine legend of zelda the original reimagined to this scale
@@quinzou29f95 Hmm yeah Gerudo ladies in 4K
I loved these videos since I can’t keep up with 40 hour streams. I’ll be waiting for part 2 eagerly!
Just found your channel and really like your vids. So great to see others freaking out over this game like I do. 😂 This game has been my favorite of all time since 1997 when I was 10. I went through a lot back then and this game really saved my life.
22:14 my life in a nutshell. love your ff7 streams and that you're a cloti shipper
I fall more and more in love with this channel every video I watch
Watching this a day before rebirth releases. very excited for tomorrow!
When I looked at you subs I expected 50k plus... man this channel is underrated
The game is perfectly made. I love cats too, and I'm glad there are a lot of them in midgard
I don't know how purist fans feel about it but the twist about the Whispers was very surprising and exciting to me. It makes replaying the game interesting with the added context.
some of them hate it but not all of them
I'm so excited to see what they do with the story
Love your genuine reactions!
Love this, great work Leigh!
Your genuine emotions, and reaction is what i really love about your videos and dont let people say otherwise. SUBBED !
"Thats NOT what vehicles do!" lol i said the same thing

Its nice to see that youre so passionate and excited too at final fantasy.i love the games allot to.
Hey Leigh, thanks for sharing this. You are awesome. I've the content. Thank you so much. Had a real bad month. Stuff like this is helping me a lot... I feel the same way about all of this... cats and all... I wish I lived in that dirt pile full of cats... 🐈

yay! i really enjoyed your playthrough! im glad you made these videos for posterity haha these reactions are gold. also cant wait for the ending when you beat the final boss! holy shit that was fucking awesome
now i know who the cat quest was made for, good!
If you want a super-emotional game with super-fun gameplay, fantastic visuals, and jaw-dropping music, try Ori and the Blind Forest, and its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Don't play it on Hard Mode, though, because it'll probably murderize you even on Normal.
been waiting for this! missed your streams of it sadly :(
I started this game yesterday. Such a beautiful and epic game! enjoy the journey!

Skid Mashr not entirely!

@@hithere12345 happy to know that remake can be so mindblowing without knowing the OG. I guess you ll go back to it before part 2 comes...
Skid Mashr thanks for replying!
Dude I haven't played this but this made me want to. I played the original. And I loved the cat reactions too lol. I want them 😺
I'm involved in things...Dangerous things...So keep your distance -Cloud
Oh ffs this made me realise, THAT part is going to completely kill me, I couldn't handle the intro with cloud and aerith, not ready, well never be, will play through though.
It you weren't paying attention, she recognised him.
Finally, I've been waiting for this!
Would’ve loved to see you react to the intermission DLC with Yuffie
This games music is so goooood!
This is good content. Great playthrough.
11:33 Tifa it's like after twenty years you return home as an old man. At least for me.
Love the energy!!
OK troughly connections with final fantasy 7, crisis core and dirge of cerberus
Congrats on 3k!
0:32 "SOLDIER 2nd class Zack, on the job!"
"Right in front of everybody!, Jesse doesn't give a shit!" Lol Ofcourse!
6:40 = The three piano notes that triggered PTSD all around the world x)
She had the same reaction to reunion as cloud did lmao
"take this moment... sniff sniff..."
It’s almost too good to play!
Subbed cant wait to see more
I’m appreciate The first part of the game and I appreciate the game and the characters on the ps4 system
Final Fantasy 7 the revenge of the cutscene
Should watch TFS parody version of ff 7.
Try not to forget Vincent this time around in Niebilhiem mansion in basement unless different in remake.
loveeeee your commentary!!!!
the materia on their hand is SO MUCH BIGGER than the one already slotted in the weapons and armor...
care to elaborate, Square Enix?
Apparently it shrinks when slotted into a piece of gear
Have you watched advent children, and I recommend playing xenogears, ffx n ffx-2....
Tifa 💚
Love to see new streams 2022 i love your channel you are my fav streamer you should try Rachet and Clank the rift and also Horizon Forbidden West
How do you not have a million subs!?
Nice Video,4 chapter in half an hour!Wow ...my first clip lenght is 45 min and it's just the 1° chaprter 🙂
WE ARE THE SAME PERSON
So question for you. My daughter wants to play ff7 remake but I believe she should play the OG first. Whats your opinion?
The remake is better enjoyed if you know at least a little about the original
Leigh, have you seen Advent Children or watched the Last Order anime? I feel like you should check them out!
hello :)
You still have the serie recorded in your twitch? I love see streams!
You ARE so pure.
yes, Sephiroth is a tall seductive villain XD
love it
22:14 Ever since the age of 13
I think Jessie was trying to make Biggs and Wedge jealous by flirting with Cloud in front of them.
I originally played this in Japanese but I like the dub so far. Might do an English playthrough.
I cook it in for the first time what I played as well
16:42 lol!! I wonder if it's just a blonde instinct to hate the guy
Missed several lines of Wedge dialogue. Keep talking to him. For all the hype over the voice actors....try and pay the respect. They worked hard.
Wtf
Yeah,Vincent Valentine rules
sick ps4 theme
Safe to say that I love Jessie Strawberry lol
*Raspberry
Is that a really loud fart?
Where's the full vods?
30:36 hold your expectations, its all in your eyes LUL
Final fantasy x?
16:44 is this the origin story of Leigh the NPC slayer?
gimme part 2!!!
right now please !
at 20:45 I let out an audible "oh my god".
i love her
I love Jesse , why? because she gives no fucks.Lol
I hope this isn't shocking but I'm 90% sure you're a lesbian.
Wow Jesse's so thirsty
nc reactions!! tho play ff7 cc also u will feel the game even more
You are so sweet and lovely!
Ya know Cloud wasn't exactly no Zack cause all he had was that dickhead attitude and only cared about money. He just didn't have the heart & soul of a TRUE HERO like Zack. Besides Cloud isn't exactly himself and he has a serious problem as you saw here.

if you want to see that you should probably watch the entire playtrough on twitch and not the resumed version of it on youtube
God. You cry a lot huh. I can imagine you crying over a cookie 😂😂🍪
LOL you make me laugh with your dislike of Jessy.
ok, sure :P
You see Tifa flirting with Cloud - you gush.
You see Jesse flirting with Cloud - instant screw-face.
LOL - you cant hide it.
But so looking forward to your next videos. Looking forward to your reactions
