Psssh, how bout 19 years? The 19 years we spent since the Final Fantasy 7 Technical Demo for PS3 was shown at E3 2005!! Imagine our surprise when we saw that, and imagine our continued disappointment as the years dwindled by with no word that Square would ever actually do it. The mad lads did, boys. The mad lads did it, eventually!
There's just something about Max's passion for FF7 that is just so infectious. Legitimately my favorite FF7 creator. I can't wait to see what this new era of Rebirth brings us
This is for all of our fallen ff7 fans that are no longer with us, including my big brother. I’ll be playing in his honor ❤ this game means everything to me!
Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the game that made me get to know Max and follow his streams on twitch and watch videos on UA-cam. Thank you Max for this wonderful journey! I had so much fun everyday and I am happy to still continue it today with the second part of this game and in future expansions and games Max will play!!❤❤❤
I found him when I was watching reactions to the original remake announcement. Ever since then I always go to Max for the emotional aspect of his ff7 content and blitzz for the technical aspect of his content… between those two you have all your bases covered.
@HomeDefender30 Same here! He made me love this game even more! He is such a full hearted guy! Truly a great guy and he deserves to be so followed and be so popular! He is just a good soul and I love his truthful and honest reactions🥰
Absolute same. I first learned of max when he was on the easy allies spoiler cast and this whole thing has been made infinitely better as a result. Max is the perfect representation of how I feel about this game and expresses it as well as I wish I could. What a treasure
I'm turning 50 next month. This game is a big part of my life it got me through my darkest times. I just love this game and I'm just starting to play it rebirth. Thanks for this Max you're awesome.
i think the developer knew Max already since he met them already. So maybe during his podcast where he mentioned the next game name, rebirth, they probably watched Max video and took it that time.
I started this journey with Max like 3 weeks ago, because im new to his content in general. ive watched every single theory video or tangent he made about Remake and Rebirth and im happy to be here to watch him play Rebirth His joyfulness really captivated me Thank you for making me love Final Fantasy even more, Max!
Max’s excitement and joy is so infectious. It’s been a long journey to Rebirth and he’s been there with us every step of the way. So excited for this game, and THANK YOU MAX for sharing your own excitement and joy with all of us!!
I was already a dad when ReMake released but seeing Max become a father and then seeing him get emotional during the hard hitting moments during his recent replay, it really brought it all home because I knew what he was experiencing and I knew those emotions of his were genuine.
None of my friends were really ever in to final fantasy as a kid. A few were, mildly, but they didn't get excited about it like I did. As an adult, seeing the reveal of the remake i was taken back to that same level of excitement, but never really had anyone to share it with. It sort of put a damper on it for me. I didn't know of you back then. But I do now, and I know I don't actually know you, but, your untethered enthusiasm makes it feel like I have someone to share the excitement with. Thank you for that. I don't know if you ever think of the effect your content might have on people, but, I thought you should know.
I may not be watching live as you play the game, because of course I want to experience this as fresh as possible on my own, but it has been so fun getting excited and watching your reactions/insight into what this game might be. I cannot wait, dude. We are so goddamn close
Happy to have been apart of this journey. Favorite game of all time. Used to draw pictures of cloud and Barrett in 4th grade. Now I’m 34. Been a long time coming.
I'm 35 bro, this is the only game I am always attached to, I can't describe it to others my feelings for this game. I'm scared for when the 3rd installment is announced as that will be the beginning of the end, no more hopes no more dreams no more waiting as that's it's FF7 has ended 😢
@@Nadeem146 I’m with ya buddy. I stopped gaming back in 2013 and then when the announcement came in 2015 I picked it up again for the sole reason of playing this game. Brought me back into this world and I’m happy it did, gaming has evolved so much since the 90s and I’m glad I’m here for it
0:50 this moment just brings me back. I had forgotten the feeling of playing Remake for the first time. Realizing you're there in the slums again. The music hitting you and the visuals. Like being home again. And just the general excitement that you we're going to be on this journey once again. This was just the start. I remember discovering your FF7R theory crafting videos and podcast discussions with other content creators. It was super fun listening in on that speculation that 2020 summer. After that things kind of dissipated, atleast for me. But I always remembered Max for his excitement of the remake project. Later on when rumors swelled about FF7 Rebirths reveals in 2022 and 2023 I returned and started to follow the channel. It's been truly great to share in the passion and excitement. And I'm glad there's atleast a couple years left of excitement and anticipation for what could be revolving FF7 and this channel. Here's to many more fun times in the coming years!
I gotta say Max. Even though you're mostly a fighting game channel, your passion for FF7 as far as I've seen is unrivaled here on UA-cam. Your reactions and theories to Remake as it was coming out convinced me to buy the game and I absolutely loved it! I don't have a PS5 yet so I have been eagerly awaiting your playthrough of Rebirth so I can follow the hype as it's happening. Keep doing what you're doing, bro! Can't wait to see how it all plays out this time. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!
I see you as the greatest advocate for final fantasy 7.. there is so much love and reverence in your voice when you talk about it .. You reflect my feelings about this perfectly . Thank you mr dude !
Man, I found this channel through the Cloud Smash Reveal way back when. As a consequence I was dragged into a rabbit hole of this game’s world and Characters. I can’t say I regret it tbh, a complaint will not be heard from me. So… Thank You, Max. It’s been a great ride so far, and I can’t wait for it to continue.
You're the only guy I know who's ever been on the same wave length as me with FF VII and Remake, the things you love about it, the same exact reactions to reveals or moments in a first playthrough, I'm really grateful for that since I've always felt a lil alone in how I liked the game, it's really cool to see someone else feel nearly the exact same kinda emotions and passion I do for this stuff.
Max, you'll never read this but from street fighter to tekken to final fantasy. You inspire me to be greater and to fight for what I want. Your story, your passion resonates within like an infection. Seeing you cry about how you told your wife about the story of FF7 and thinking..GOD IM A NERD and then sticking with it and seeing all your fantadies come true is so amazing to see. From going to the gym to be a better father for Ripley to the friendship you have with yovideogames you are genuinley the most loving creator on this platform and on twitch. You deserve the world and I hope us and the greatest twitch chat to ever exist has given you that because you are a Dood. From the assist me to the future, thankyou and shine on BROTHERRRRRRRR!
I'm very happy that my first experience with this remake trilogy has been with you Max, your enthusiasm and love for this series is just so infectious. While 7 has never been my favorite Final Fantasy title (that's a tie between 9 and 10), This game and its cast now holds a special place in my heart and it's because of you. Thank You.
Max, I have to thank you again. You made me fall in love with this series. Even though I had never played it before. And it was strange to me because I had never had that happen before with just someone's words. I will be going dark tonight to then go looking in every inch of this world. And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.
It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.
Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on. In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together. I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then. Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.
Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a UA-camr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.
I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!
I'ts amazing to see someone react and feel about a game in such a sincere way as I do when it comes to FF7. I get goosebumps when watching your reactions to what is my favourite game. Thanks Max
Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁
To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it. And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther. Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.
I’m so happy that 3-4 years ago I decided to watch your playthroughs of the Remake. You made me one of the biggest FF7 fans and I’m glad for it. Off to the continuation of the Unknown Journey 🤗
Your passion for FF7 is amazing, dood. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but I will definitely be watching the UA-cam VODs. I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.
I'm so hyped that it's finally here my friend!!! Following you on this 9 year journey has been an amazing experience and I really appreciate letting us come along for the ride. I can still feel the emotions from playing FF7 in 1997 as a sophomore in college. I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here. SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Preloaded and ready to go in a little under 7 hours! Will be catching up on your streams once I get a bit ahead :) Been watching you since that very first reveal 9 years ago
I know this no longer matters, but it's because they released at different times. Like Australians got access nearly 12 hours before the rest of us@@brentabel5094
ITS SO CLOSE!!!!! 2022 I found Remake through Max and bought the OG and played. Legendary franchise and the Rebirth hype has been so real. Can’t wait for the streams to start! Will try to catch this on twitch to join the group! I seriously can’t believe it’s finally here!
to everyone who has been following along for the last ~10 years ... cheers to us and happy to know we made it through whatever we've endeavored through to get here
I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled
It’s been a journey Max. And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time. Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG. Thank you for being you. I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others. It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives. Everyone should at least give it a chance. It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything. *Keeping you Max, never change.*
Here we go boys, less than 24 hours the unknown journey continues. Get ready to laugh, cry, and have many fun enjoyable moments and memories. After 4 years Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is upon us. See you all on the other side at the end of this magical game. Let’s Mosey
Tonight my dreams come true, the dream of walking from midgar to kalm and seeing how it looks like instead of imagining it. I was a smal child when i played ff7 og. And this game has followed me all my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you square enix for making my dream a reality. ❤❤❤ And thank you Max for making me feel like im not alone of loving this game with everything i have.
You know what, as well watching Max's videos i equally enjoy reading comments and other fans stories. FF7 has and always have a place in my heart, duno what it is but i love evrything and every second of it. Glad my dad just randomly picked up a £50 game in 1997 and a half and handed it over to me, i didnt ask for it i didnt know what it was, i probably didnt deserve it, i didnt have a memeory card, the 1 hour game time i got each play sess i would just try to get past a little further than last time to see something new or read a new dialogue. The struggle was real for about 6 months until i got a memory card. My dad still to this day doesnt realise what he done for me back then, greatest game of all time.
Been on this long journey since I played the game on my playstation 1 as a kid. Ty max for loving this game as much as us and being as excited and bringing us along on this ride and journey. Can't wait to see where this train will take us.
I was part of this journey, watching every single ff7R streams during lockdown.. It was such a joy and I've been rewatching them since. Now I'm fully hyped and ready 4 years later for this second part of the adventure. I don't even have a ps5 nor did I played FF7 and the remake, I just enjoy the passion of watching it through the eyes and experience of Max.
FF7 came out 3 years before I was born, so I never got to experience the original hype of the title and how groundbreaking it truly was. I watched my friend play it as a kid and I thought it was amazing, but I never truly understood how beloved this game was till 2015. Since then, being on this journey with all the original fans that played in back in 97, I feel like I'm experiencing a little bit of what it must've been like to be apart of it all during that time. from playing the original FF7 in 2016, to playing Remake in 2020, to now playing Rebirth tonight, I'm glad that I get join the many generations of fans and I'm happy we all get to enjoy this together
Oh Max, that was absolutely beautiful. Very well done! We love you, and this is a great time for all of us to celebrate together like it's a childhood Christmas.
I’d binge watched a lot of Max’s old FF7 stuff, so this felt recent to me and it’s crazy to see how spaced out they actually were, and the excitement building up over time!
I missed FF7 at release without a PS1. Max’s unrelenting hype and enthusiasm for FF7 has made me give it a try and I am now obsessed with it too. Thank you 🙏🏾 👊🏾
I cant decide wether to play this all by myself and finish Rebirth and them come back to Max's playthrough or play a chapter and watch a chapter of Max? Damn i gota decide by the morning !!!!!!!
I bought my PS4 a day before Remake launched so I can play it at launch and now I literally bought my PS5 today just to play Rebirth on launch. Growing up in the 90s and taking turns with my brothers playing FF7 is one of my favorite childhood memories. This franchise means a lot to me.
Our party is from the beagle timeline, I bet that the world they exited into from the singularity is the terrier timeline. Thats how they navigate having ff7 characters but a different world/event from what came before(OG). Zack is in his timeline its our party that's variants. That's the smoothest way of doing this, without ruining any narrative
between this and resident evil there is NO other person id rather watch than you Max. The level of enthusiasm you have is exactly how mine is. If my dad was still alive by god we'd both be watching you waiting to play the game ourselves. love you brother and im glad i found you so long ago and have experienced this with you along the way
IT'S HERE! Max's love for these games were what got me interested in FF7 Remake, and I have been a passionate FF7 dood ever since. Just want to thank both Max and this community for carrying the hype for these games. It's great to be surrounded by people who love this stuff as much as I do. EDIT: Lmao Max said basically the same thing at the end of the video.
Remember everyone to take a second while in the middle of your rebirth play though to take a second and just soak this game in. The first play though is always something special for games like this and I can’t wait 😁
In 2020 my dad passed of a seccond stroke. The first one happened on the early half of 2019 and everything changed, but I have good memories of him before and after the stroke watching me play the game. He never was too kin to more fantasy-like stylized art like this but idk... Makes me teary eyed that he won't be seeing me when I play this (whenever it comes out on PC). If I'm wrong and you're watching, love you dad.
it’s crazy most of us grew up with this game My dad used to play this in HS.. i’m now a full grown adult being 24 & hyped af about to play Rebirth I can’t tell you how weirdly affected I am by this game I cried at the last game’s ending. Regardless of the hate for advent children, it’s still one of my favorite movies Thank you pops for introducing me to this game and my sister & me are invertedly attached to this series by her enjoying Kingdom hearts because of my Aunt! Ironically the redhead of both games (KH & FF7) we’re both voiced by the SAME GUY!! Axel & Reno!
Revisiting your FF7R videos is like opening a time capsule of emotions. Thank you Max for taking something you were passionate about and sharing it with the world. Your efforts have inspired many of us to get up everyday and chase love and happiness. Can't end this comment without also thanking the devs. Rebirth IS the greatest game I've ever played and that is entirely due to the passion and care that oozes out of it's final product. Know that if I could hug each and every staffer, I would!
Only people who were there like Max in 1997 truly understand this overwhelming feeling of emotion, of nostalgia, we feel. Because this isn’t just about FF7 but the time we remember that is associated with the time the game came out.
Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.
I honestly can't shake the feeling that Part 1 felt like a 40 hour demo leading up to Rebirth (i haven't played Rebirth yet obviously but it's just a feeling i get, can't wait for tomorrow)
I became a FF fan in 2021 when it was suggested by my manager that I’d play the remake since I love RPG games. I never played a FF game for whatever reason (I’m 30 years old for context). I had no idea what I would be in for in a series I’ve never played before. But I’m thankful that I am and am thankful for finding this channel shortly after that time.
Close to four years later...the Unknown Journey continues tonight.
Reading this got me hyped af
amazon is trolling eu players fr mf says its gonna come tomorrow 8PM!!!
@@KINDABERRYsame I’m crying lol
Tonight?
Not until tomorrow morning for me 😓
Let's take a moment to remember all the FF7 fans around the world who have passed away before getting the chance to play this ❤
I was almost one of them back in 22. Glad I lived but so many brothers and sisters didn't. We gotta enjoy this game even harder for those we lost.
Well said on all accounts. 🔥
Rest in peace we'll see them one day in the lifestream
That’s actually a very kind sentiment that I didn’t expect someone to make.
Rip dad
man this journey has been insane, i can’t wait for tonight
The unknow journey continues tomorrow (or today if you plan the streamers)!
@fernandozavaletabustos205 No, it continues tonight. My pre order unlocks at 9 pm.
Enjoy it!@@whenyounutinhermouthandshe
Same can’t wait!! 🤗
I'll be missing it, going dark myself of course but I'll be cheering from the background.
One of the most charming things about Maxs FF7 content, is that he doesn't do it like a game news guy, he is literally just a megafan!
Yeah!!
These last 4 years and before that have been everything 🙏🏾
Can’t wait to watch your playthrough as well man!
3 years

how the hell did you make me nostalgic and emotional over a game i have never played before
The fact max nails every prediction is crazy to me. Which makes me have the theory that creators of FF7 watch maxs theories and ideas and uses them.
“Give the fans what they want”

And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.
It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.
Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on.
In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together.
I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then.
Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.
Shine on my friend and remember that you are not alone!
Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a UA-camr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.
There are absolutely no videos that bring me more joy than watching Max hype over anything Ff7
I literally been watching the remake journey everyday
I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!
I'ts amazing to see someone react and feel about a game in such a sincere way as I do when it comes to FF7.
I get goosebumps when watching your reactions to what is my favourite game.
Thanks Max
Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁
get that money! enjoy your 1st session when you get back
@@StillWeRide Absolutely!! Thanks and same to you!! 💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it.
And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther.
Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.
I’m so happy that 3-4 years ago I decided to watch your playthroughs of the Remake. You made me one of the biggest FF7 fans and I’m glad for it. Off to the continuation of the Unknown Journey 🤗
Since 23.12.97 i have loved final fantasy 7
And fawned over it ever since, and tomorrow I'll be there too ❤
Good stuff brotha - watching your FF7 Remake experience was THE reason I started my own content creation journey. Thank you for being You, MAX!
I love you guys please enjoy your journey! Getting a ps5 tonight just to play this!! So excited.
Your passion for FF7 is amazing, dood. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but I will definitely be watching the UA-cam VODs.
I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.
Oh gosh I'm gonna cry, what a journey it's been.
❤
I've personally been waiting since beating the original then crisis core around 2009
This dude really deserves the legacy streamer award!
I'm so hyped that it's finally here my friend!!! Following you on this 9 year journey has been an amazing experience and I really appreciate letting us come along for the ride. I can still feel the emotions from playing FF7 in 1997 as a sophomore in college. I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here.
SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Preloaded and ready to go in a little under 7 hours! Will be catching up on your streams once I get a bit ahead :) Been watching you since that very first reveal 9 years ago
I don't get how you can play in 7 hrs. I live on the West Coast and mine. I can't play till 9 pm, which is 11 hrs.
my deluxe didnt show up because bestbuy wont ship until release...fuck that i bought a digital copy for midnight😂😂😂😂
@@brentabel5094time zones
I know this no longer matters, but it's because they released at different times. Like Australians got access nearly 12 hours before the rest of us@@brentabel5094
ITS SO CLOSE!!!!!
2022 I found Remake through Max and bought the OG and played. Legendary franchise and the Rebirth hype has been so real. Can’t wait for the streams to start!
Will try to catch this on twitch to join the group! I seriously can’t believe it’s finally here!
max being happy makes me happy!
to everyone who has been following along for the last ~10 years ... cheers to us and happy to know we made it through whatever we've endeavored through to get here
4:06 how did he predict this? 😂
the devs watched that interview and were like
im on part 15 of Max's rebirth series and im coming back here to see this video again to appreciate Max's Genuine want of this games vision
I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled
Well that definitely would explain some stuff
Who were the other people invited?
It’s been a journey Max.
And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time.
Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG.
Thank you for being you.
I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others.
It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives.
Everyone should at least give it a chance.
It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything.
*Keeping you Max, never change.*
Here we go boys, less than 24 hours the unknown journey continues. Get ready to laugh, cry, and have many fun enjoyable moments and memories. After 4 years Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is upon us. See you all on the other side at the end of this magical game. Let’s Mosey
Max’s excitement for this has me excited to play the game more. Gonna be dope. The unknown journey comes 💯
The only thing better than playing a new chapter in this amazing remix series is playing it alongside Max!
Max's happiness is so contagious man I cant wipe the smile off my face seeing this dude geek out.
somebody who love this game as much as I do, I can't help but cry experiencing this journey with you and all of our brothers and sisters
Its been a long journey…. Although it isn’t over yet, we are SO ready for what is about to come
Tonight my dreams come true, the dream of walking from midgar to kalm and seeing how it looks like instead of imagining it. I was a smal child when i played ff7 og. And this game has followed me all my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you square enix for making my dream a reality. ❤❤❤ And thank you Max for making me feel like im not alone of loving this game with everything i have.
Idk why watching his reactions bring tears to my eyes
The road to rebirth has been incredible, can’t wait until 4 years from now when we can finally see the end of this wonderful trilogy.
3 years
Hello Square-Enix devs who are using this video as a motivational pick-me-up during the development of part 3. You are legendary!
You know what, as well watching Max's videos i equally enjoy reading comments and other fans stories. FF7 has and always have a place in my heart, duno what it is but i love evrything and every second of it. Glad my dad just randomly picked up a £50 game in 1997 and a half and handed it over to me, i didnt ask for it i didnt know what it was, i probably didnt deserve it, i didnt have a memeory card, the 1 hour game time i got each play sess i would just try to get past a little further than last time to see something new or read a new dialogue. The struggle was real for about 6 months until i got a memory card.
My dad still to this day doesnt realise what he done for me back then, greatest game of all time.
Been on this long journey since I played the game on my playstation 1 as a kid. Ty max for loving this game as much as us and being as excited and bringing us along on this ride and journey. Can't wait to see where this train will take us.
I was part of this journey, watching every single ff7R streams during lockdown.. It was such a joy and I've been rewatching them since.
Now I'm fully hyped and ready 4 years later for this second part of the adventure.
I don't even have a ps5 nor did I played FF7 and the remake, I just enjoy the passion of watching it through the eyes and experience of Max.
FF7 came out 3 years before I was born, so I never got to experience the original hype of the title and how groundbreaking it truly was. I watched my friend play it as a kid and I thought it was amazing, but I never truly understood how beloved this game was till 2015. Since then, being on this journey with all the original fans that played in back in 97, I feel like I'm experiencing a little bit of what it must've been like to be apart of it all during that time. from playing the original FF7 in 2016, to playing Remake in 2020, to now playing Rebirth tonight, I'm glad that I get join the many generations of fans and I'm happy we all get to enjoy this together
Oh Max, that was absolutely beautiful. Very well done! We love you, and this is a great time for all of us to celebrate together like it's a childhood Christmas.
FF7remake was the highlight of my Mandatory lockdown.
first FF7 playthough was the highlight of my gaming life.
4:22 Roche and Max saying "Come On" at the same time always gets me
I’d binge watched a lot of Max’s old FF7 stuff, so this felt recent to me and it’s crazy to see how spaced out they actually were, and the excitement building up over time!
Im rewatching old VODs of the original FF7 playthrough and it is amazing to see where we are now
I missed FF7 at release without a PS1. Max’s unrelenting hype and enthusiasm for FF7 has made me give it a try and I am now obsessed with it too. Thank you 🙏🏾 👊🏾
I will never tire of Max's just LOVE and reaction to this series.
I cant decide wether to play this all by myself and finish Rebirth and them come back to Max's playthrough or play a chapter and watch a chapter of Max? Damn i gota decide by the morning !!!!!!!
I will meet this game, like last time, with you, Max. Thank you
I bought my PS4 a day before Remake launched so I can play it at launch and now I literally bought my PS5 today just to play Rebirth on launch. Growing up in the 90s and taking turns with my brothers playing FF7 is one of my favorite childhood memories. This franchise means a lot to me.
I know each of these videos by heart, what a journey
I can't wait for the next years of excitement and hype around FF7 with y'all
1:01 i remember graduating college and playing FF7R when it came out. So much is different now. So excited to join Max and y'all on this journey!!!
Our party is from the beagle timeline, I bet that the world they exited into from the singularity is the terrier timeline. Thats how they navigate having ff7 characters but a different world/event from what came before(OG). Zack is in his timeline its our party that's variants. That's the smoothest way of doing this, without ruining any narrative
between this and resident evil there is NO other person id rather watch than you Max. The level of enthusiasm you have is exactly how mine is. If my dad was still alive by god we'd both be watching you waiting to play the game ourselves. love you brother and im glad i found you so long ago and have experienced this with you along the way
This is a beautiful montage that mirrors my thoughts exactly. Remake changed me. Thank you.
Thank you max!! Loved this game when I was younger, I literally shed a tear playing tifas theme in the rebirth demo, Shine on Dood and enjoy
IT'S HERE! Max's love for these games were what got me interested in FF7 Remake, and I have been a passionate FF7 dood ever since. Just want to thank both Max and this community for carrying the hype for these games. It's great to be surrounded by people who love this stuff as much as I do.
EDIT: Lmao Max said basically the same thing at the end of the video.
OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ONLY A FEW HOURS AWAY FROM REBIRTH!!! IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS DAY LOL. WAITING TO OPEN PRESENTS WITH MAX.
Remember everyone to take a second while in the middle of your rebirth play though to take a second and just soak this game in. The first play though is always something special for games like this and I can’t wait 😁
In 2020 my dad passed of a seccond stroke. The first one happened on the early half of 2019 and everything changed, but I have good memories of him before and after the stroke watching me play the game. He never was too kin to more fantasy-like stylized art like this but idk... Makes me teary eyed that he won't be seeing me when I play this (whenever it comes out on PC).
If I'm wrong and you're watching, love you dad.
it’s crazy
most of us grew up with this game
My dad used to play this in HS..
i’m now a full grown adult being 24 & hyped af about to play Rebirth
I can’t tell you how weirdly affected I am by this game
I cried at the last game’s ending.
Regardless of the hate for advent children, it’s still one of my favorite movies
Thank you pops for introducing me to this game
and my sister & me are invertedly attached to this series by her enjoying Kingdom hearts because of my Aunt!
Ironically the redhead of both games (KH & FF7) we’re both voiced by the SAME GUY!!
Axel & Reno!
Revisiting your FF7R videos is like opening a time capsule of emotions. Thank you Max for taking something you were passionate about and sharing it with the world. Your efforts have inspired many of us to get up everyday and chase love and happiness.
Can't end this comment without also thanking the devs. Rebirth IS the greatest game I've ever played and that is entirely due to the passion and care that oozes out of it's final product. Know that if I could hug each and every staffer, I would!
Only people who were there like Max in 1997 truly understand this overwhelming feeling of emotion, of nostalgia, we feel.
Because this isn’t just about FF7 but the time we remember that is associated with the time the game came out.
The demo for rebirth alone blew my sack off that was one of the best demos I have ever played in a long long time.
We love you Max, only a few more hours to go! Can't wait for Rebirth! ❤
Im crying dude, i love your passion for this game Max. This is my chilldhood! So ready to watch you play this game.
Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.
I honestly can't shake the feeling that Part 1 felt like a 40 hour demo leading up to Rebirth (i haven't played Rebirth yet obviously but it's just a feeling i get, can't wait for tomorrow)
Here we are, and we will be here in four years or so for the finale. What a great journey it has been!
I became a FF fan in 2021 when it was suggested by my manager that I’d play the remake since I love RPG games. I never played a FF game for whatever reason (I’m 30 years old for context). I had no idea what I would be in for in a series I’ve never played before. But I’m thankful that I am and am thankful for finding this channel shortly after that time.
