    GAME: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
    AUTHOR: Square Enix
    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. It is a sequel to Final Fantasy VII Remake (2020) and the second in a planned trilogy of games remaking the 1997 PlayStation game Final Fantasy VII. Like its predecessor, the gameplay combines real-time action with strategic and role-playing elements. Set immediately after Remake's events, players control mercenary Cloud Strife and a party of characters principally comprising the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE, who embark on a journey across the Planet to prevent the megacorporation Shinra from exploiting its life essence, the Lifestream, as an energy source, and defeat former elite SOLDIER Sephiroth, who seeks to unite with the Planet to achieve greater power.

    The fact that Vincents biggest contribution this game comes from the card game sidequest and not the main story is very funny to me.
    Also, the way you triggered the scenes lead to a very weird thing. You last saw Hojo heading towards the temple of the ancients with Rufus, because you triggered that while heading to the point of no return. But after that you turned around and did the neibelheim protorelic, which was supposed to be done well before that, so now Hojo is just hanging out in his lab. Bro apparently forgot to turn the stove off and turned the helicopter around.

    The whole Queen's Blood storyline is basically a reversal of Yugioh's story and characters. The Shadowblood Queen and the Pharaoh are both spirits of ancient rulers who awaken in the modern day in the bodies of prodigy gamers and treat their opponents sadistically but the Pharaoh was a benevolent ruler who grew out of his sadistic tendencies while the Shadowblood Queen was a tyrant who reveled in her destruction. Regina like Yugi are young gamers who specialize in card games who are considered prodigies (Yugi is the "King of Games" whereas "Regina" literally mean "Queen") and worked hard for their title but Regina becomes obsessed with her title whereas Yugi only gained his title incidentally and cares more for his friends and family. The Emerald Witch resembles the Spirit of the Ring or the Thief King as they were both spirits of rebels who fought against said ancient ruler but whereas the Spirit of the Ring was cruel thief out for revenge, the Emerald Witch was a heroic rebel. Finally, Lidrehl Balmon resembles Maximillion Pegasus as both were creators of popular card games which are the focus of the story. But whereas Pegasus was fully aware of the dark occultic aspects of the card game and attempted to use it to revive his wife, Lidrehl is regretful of the dark power he unleashed through his game and only unleashed it through accident.

    Gilgamesh really decided to take the Sans Undertale method for wielding Excalipoor; even though it only deals like 1 damage per hit, he uses it to hit you like a bajillion times. If he can turn an complete joke of a weapon like that into something useful, he might actually be a Swordsman of Legend.

    To be fair, Gilgamesh showed how powerful he was even with the Excalipoor all the way back in FFV. Since, after you get the Exacipoor weapon your party members can only deal 1 damage when attacking with it. Meanwhile, when Gilgamesh uses the Excalipoor during his bossfight, he is able to do around 30 damage (which is still not a lot mind you, but it's still thirty times more than what your party members can do with it.).

    So fun fact about Gilgamesh, is that where he travels the multiverse seeking the ultimate weapon, he is cursed to always find poor imitations, harking back to Excalipoor in FFV. What's fun about this is that this also applies to the weapons of the final fantasy world he's in, such as his fake buster sword and nail bat in this game. In his appearance in final fantasy XII he has fake versions of Squall's gunblade, the buster sword, Zidane's daggers, and Tidus's brotherhood, and in later games even has Lightnings weapon and a blade that's supposed to be 'a nail of chaos' from Chaos in Dissidia. My personal favourite iteration of him is in FFXII-2 where he's part of the coliseum DLC, where he turns up freakin' strapped with several guns and rocket launchers (albeit to ditch them half way through the fight because he prefers fighting with swords).
    Gilgamesh could in theory live up to the claim of most powerful swordsman if he had claimed the actual version of these weapons, but alas, as long as he is Gilgamesh, he'll be fated to always find the fakes...

    Fun Facts about Gilgamesh, both the FF and Fate versions.
    -In the story The Epic of Gilgamesh, the namesake hero has the Gate of Babylon which is his vast collection of items and weapons he had obtained. Which is why FF's Gilgamesh is collecting the weapons and gear of those from different worlds. All the while, the Fate version has world destroying weapons in his Gate of Babylon and automatically gets everything which is created after his death added to his Collection. And yes that does include video games and the consoles to play them on.
    -The Fate version of Gil has his design be a slight reference to the hero of The Tower of Druaga franchise. With the hero being a boy named Gilgamesh who wears Gold Armor. Well this reference applies to the Archer(Adult) and Ruler versions of him. The Caster and Archer(Kid) versions aren't in golden armor.
    -FF Gilgamesh is cursed to have fake/imitations of the weapons he's adding to his collection.
    -There would automatically be a battle between both the FF and Fate Versions of Gilgamesh. After all, they're both the best at what they do. So they would fight to see who is better.

    So... is Jenova the Shadow Queen? That's what it sounded like to me. Or at the very least its a metaphor for Jenova with the Emerald Witch being like the Cetra or something.
    ... Does that mean Jenova is Zorc and Sephiroth is Bakura?! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

    Great side quests part. They were entertaining and also a hard battle, too. ^_^
    I really like the card game "Queen`s Blood" side quest and was a bit surprised that Vincent had the secret counter card "Emerald Witch", but it was very fitting, too. He is a mystery and can see the ghost realm, too (it reminds me a lot of the Shadow Realm from Yu-Gi-Oh). ^^
    I am looking forward to the continue of the main story (and some other new quests, too). ;-)

    To answer your question about whether or not it’s possible to beat the final QB opponent without the Emerald Witch. It is. I had a deck (one that I found online cause I suck at deck building) that I ran with for the later half of the game that focused on sacrificing your own cards to power your three in the back column. The Shadow Queen card actually helped me beat her by weakening my own cards. Won with something like 105-0. It was very cathartic after getting demolished in QB for the whole game

Funny enough it didn't even hit me that i didn't ever use witch card until i beat her

    Another piece of new interesting lore is created because of the Shadowblood Queen. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say… a Queen of tremendous power, that fooled her enemies, ruled with the ability to make others believe people who were dead had returned.
    It is never confirmed in the game, but there are a few hints that the Shadowblood Queen in reality is Jenova. I can’t say the biggest piece of evidence because you haven’t made it to that section yet, however a few pieces of dialogue that she says highly suggests this. Those being when she calls Cloud a puppet. Only one other person in the series calls him this. And he has a huge connection to Jenova. It is only a theory, but one I wholeheartedly believe in.

    Maybe it was because I was using Cloud Lv 3 limit breaks, but I beat Gilgamesh on my second try with Tifa and Yuffie, mainly just because how much damage they can dish out.
    I honestly found the summon refights a bit more tricky, although those took a few tries too. There's certainly ways you can build yourself to help out but I beat him fair and square, without exploits.

  • @Jeddy027

    Vincent showing up in 2 side quests made me wonder if Cid got some side content with him. Doesn't look like that will be the case.
    Also, I wonder how they're going to handle the world exploration in part 3. Are they going to just continue using this map, but with the rest of the FF7 world added on? Like what Tears of the Kingdom did. I don't know how this game ends & what state the world & characters will be in when it does. But thinking about how the OG progressed, make me wonder if a certain flying ship will be a key part of Part 3's world exploration.
    Also, the added global conflict between Wutai & Shinra & borders being closed will highlight the need for independent air travel.

    • @XainRussell
      @XainRussell 29 днів тому +1

      Agreed. Like, yeah, a ton of it is optional, but the game really loves to encourage you into doing most of it, especially when there’s so many character moments attached to them, and who wouldn’t want to fight Gilgamesh so that’s a ton of minigames and side quests that just became mandatory if you want that experience.
      Honestly, after replaying Shadow of the Colossus recently, I’ve really started to have an appreciation for games that know exactly what they want to be and don’t try to extend beyond their core gameplay loop. There’s no faffing about in SotC and it just felt nice after hitting so much burnout in games like Tears of the Kingdom.
