    After becoming pretty frustrated with all the Twitch VOD playthroughs of this, where people give 90% of their attention to chat, talk through the cutscenes, and rush through the game, I'm so happy to have found this one. You really give the game the attention it deserves and I'm so here for it. Thank you!

    Finally! It's weird since I hardly watch any let's plays nowadays but I've honestly watched through a ton of your stuff so far (Hollow Knight, Outer Wilds, Subnautica, and most recently Undertale and Cuphead) . You just have a certain energy of fun and wholesome yet really skilful and knowledgable when it comes to the games you play + how you pay attention and appreciate the little things is a joy to see. I'm really excited to see you play this game, it's one of my favorites and I think you'll love it as well. The characters, the gameplay and the music are some of the best in any game ever.

    1:29:46 The materia showing in your weapon was something that I always dreamed of seeing as a child. It seems like such a little thing, a small detail that I never thought would be explored, absent in all the FF7 media that came out over the years. Boy was I blown away that it was included in this game. It was like the devs heard a little boy's wish and granted it. Among many other things this wonderful game does, it's still this small detail that gets me.

    OMG I LOVE THAT YOU'RE PLAYING THIS, YOU'RE ON A WAVE OF GOOD GAMES RIGHT NOW, now, just a small tip because it's a common misconception, evading doesn't give you invulnerable frames, if the animation hits you in any way it will give you damage, it's better to defend to reduce damage and build ATB

    When this popped up in my recommended section i was stunned by excitement. This is one of my favourite games, and it fits you very well, so i am very excited. Great jacket, Princess Mononoke is my favourite film. The music is super importaint for the game design of this game, surely you understand why and how but this one of those games in which the music is as importaint as visuals. So seeing poor graphics doesn't even get picked up by my brain because of the greatness of this game, its phenomenal, just as an example. The music is, and has been, Classical and Heavy Metal inspired and can actually be found very similarly in songs of these two genres. I listen to the music on spotify and its a great example for how majestic this game is that its experience is equivalent to the best Heavy Metal songs.

    Ive finally decided to start playing through this as well, it's been sitting on my account forever.
    As someone who played the original when it came out, it's still incredible to see this in action - with the real time graphics light years ahead of the pre-rendered cutscenes of the day.
    Sometimes it's really wild being an OG, and seeing how far games have come.
    It's also wild how embedded in my psyche the music is.

    Very happy to see you start this one. I'm always impressed by your attention to detail - you're picking up on a lot of subtext that's extremely easy to miss if you don't already know the story, like Tifa being confused by Cloud's reply.
    Re: Cross-Slash, the reason it says it makes an "ominous symbol" is that it literally spells out the kanji for bad luck/misfortune, and its Japanese name translates to something like "misfortune slash." In the original game it paralyzed the enemy in addition to doing damage, hence the name.

The connected slots in weapons is to create unique combos for instance, the most useful one is combining "Magnify" and "Cure" to heal everyone! Good luck on your playthrough, looking forward for the next video :)

    The combat can take a bit of getting used to, but once you have the hang of it and are firing on all cylinders switching between characters and popping off abilities, it's genuinely one of the best systems there is. And that combined with the soundtrack makes for some really intense and exciting battles.
    Looking forward to the rest of the playthrough!

    I was thinking of playing this again before Rebirth comes out, but I think I might just watch your play-through instead. Lately you've played a few games that I just haven't been all that interested in, so I haven't been around. But, man, I've missed your Let's Plays! Your constant rambling is so lovely and relaxing, and when you get excited about stuff, like the lighting and characters, etc., I feel it right along with you! Thank you, Amber!
    I watched a play-through of this game by @StrangeRebelGaming, aka, Briana White, the Voice Actress of Aerith, (the flower girl), and it was so fun to see her react to her own character and the game in it's whole! She truly is as lovely as her character in this game! If you get time later, I recommend watching her play it!

Little tip: There is no shame in opening the commands or magic menu, taking assessment of the situation (while in slow mo), and figuring out your next 5 steps to get it under control. You're doing great!

    OMG best gift ever! gonna love seeing you play this and hopefully love it just as much as i do! one of my favorite games ever shared with Zelda since growing up 😇
    To answer if the games are connected or not, they are all self-contained, atleast within the numbers. So an example, 13 has 3 games called 13, 13-2 and last one is just called Lightning Returns i think, those share the same story, characters, world etc, then you have 7 which is its own thing and has nothing to do with 13s story and stuff. (i know this was a bad title to pick if you wanna get nitty gritty but hey xd)
    I love that you pick up all the little things and actually learn and look around, most people miss the bomb explosion and just think its actually Avalanche!
    Much love!

  • @toroplz4225
    @toroplz4225 7 місяців тому +2

    1:30:40 yes, each mainline FF game is a self contained story with it's own lore, but there have been some sequels to some final fantasy entries, but they've been treated more like spin-offs for the most part. In the case of FFVII Remake, they are remaking the game not only through a gameplay and visuals, but also some story beats. The original game was so huge at the time that the physical edition released with 3 disks. You can say that the remake is treating each disk as an individual game, but it will tell eventually the whole story in a trilogy

    • @stevenrhodes3462
      @stevenrhodes3462 7 місяців тому +2

Also, there are some hidden items, so look everywhere. Ciao

    You say you're a slow learner, but you're already better at using the defensive stance and parry than I ever was! A quick tip, make good use of the Assess materia when you get it. You will be able to instantly get an overview of already "assessed" (an ability the materia comes with) enemies by pressing the left bumper button. I didn't know that until after I finished the game, and it's so damn useful.
    Loving this playthrough thus far!

    @ATH8807 7 місяців тому

    This game is sooo good, so many highlights to look forward to. The music is especially great from start to finish.
    So I know you're way further now and have about a billion tips already, but I'll throw some out there anyway.
    You will want to get used to guarding and tanking damage. It's counterintuitive after playing dark souls but rolling really won't be as helpful here, though it does have its uses.
    Enemies will mostly target your active character. You can use that to get some heat off of whoever needs a heal.
    Your inactive characters will only basic attack, guard and dodge. No ATB moves, no triangle moves. They're pretty good at it too, but their ATB charges VERY slowly.
    Your active character gains ATB pretty fast, so constantly switch to whoever needs it most while issuing commands to the other two.
    Basically ATB ATB ATB.
    Most importantly, enjoy the game! 😊

    things the game tells you that you WILL forget early on
    defending charges ATB.
    Cloud punisher mode defending is a counterattack
    Cloud punisher mode cancels with a dodge
    Barret overcharge charges ATB
    Holding the attack button produces a different attack than mashing for some character. For cloud it works in both punisher and operator mode and they work different from one another.
    Red ! means dodge

  • @SwimmingRobot
    @SwimmingRobot 7 місяців тому

    Hey Amber! Great video as always! To answer your question about the games being connected. No they are all self-contained. However, the scope of this FF7 remake is so large that they made the decision to split the story into three parts. So this game that you're playing is only a portion of the original game that was greatly expanded to be its own game if that makes sense.

    This game was re-made very well. I will say that when I first heard about it being split up, I was very disappointed. Then seeing how well they fleshed out Midgar, the graphics quality, and especially the voice acting really helped to appreciate it more. So stoked you're diving into this world, and hope you enjoy the journey because it's worth it!

    The best early game thing to do, is to practice switching between characters frequently. You will get the most out of charging up multiple atb at once, then cycling through abilities.

  • @chrissolace
    @chrissolace 7 місяців тому

    Honestly you did quite good, as I was wiped in my first play through and had to use my Phoenix Down on that first boss.
    The combat is pretty unique, since it seems to be a hybrid between turn based (pausing to control characters and giving them actions, limited by the ATB gauge) but action based in how often you attack and spam buttons.
    Edit: The biggest tip I have is just try different things and have fun! The game is a nice ride that makes it hard to get off track or do something wrong. You can get overwhelmed with the details of menus or stuff but just take it at your own pace, since I started FFXV and got quite overwhelmed with the menus and it put me off from a great game! Most important thing like any other game is enjoying the ride!

    Each numbered Final Fantasy is self contained, but the story from the single original FF7 game that you grew up seeing is being split up into three games with this remake project.
    Fun fact: The original creator actually philosophically hated the idea of sequels and spin-offs. He called it "Final Fantasy" to symbolize treating every game like their last (which they literally had to do with the first one because they were going bankrupt) by putting all of their ideas into one single fully complete experience and putting it to rest, and then starting over from scratch again each and every time they made a new game. They stuck pretty closely to that principle for the first 9 entries, but after that, he got fired from the company by the more profit-motivated side of the business, so now they play pretty fast and loose with that idea (and successful numbered entries now have tons of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs).

    I think they did a really great job with this remake! It's fun to watch you play through it for the first time.
    Couple tips about combat:
    1. You'll want to get used to issuing commands to your teammates on a regular basis. Any time spent without them doing their specials is kinda just leaving damage on the table.
    2. Dodging is often less effective than simply blocking attacks. FF7R does not give any i-frames while dodging, a-la DS2, so you really only want to dodge when trying to evade a big area attack (like the Scorpion's EMP). I noticed you trying to dodge the Scorpion's missiles and eating a lot of damage from them.
    Hope that helps, looking forward to the next vid!
    Have a great day!

    OOOH This game is SO GOOD! Don't worry about the combat, you'll get it with practice. It's like nothing else I've ever done, but really fun once you get it. Story and characters are great too. Can't wait!

    I love this game. I am in anticipation of receiving rebirth as I pre-ordered it. I have to say your playthrough is the most entertaining play through I've ever seen. You are so animated.😊
    Edit: just wait till you learn how to slide down the ladders. You'll get to the bottom so much faster.
    Edit2: you are defeating the scorpion without dying. I must have died five times before I figured out how to beat it.

    All the mainline releases are different universes (FF 1 through 16 are 16 different worlds) but there have been a couple of repeats through side games and sequels.
    FF6 had "The After Years" an episodic sequel.
    FF7 had a compilation consisting of a movie "Advent Children", "Dirge of Cerberus" (a shooter) and "Crisis Core" (a PSP prequel)
    FF10 had "X-2" (Ten Two)
    FF Tactics shared a world with one of the FF MMOs (FF14 I believe?)
    FF12 had "Revenant Wings"
    FF13 had two sequels "XIII-2" and "Lightning Returns"
    Additionally, FF9 was an homage to the pre-FF7 games, having many visual similarities, and though still separate worlds, FF1 through 3 were pretty much graphically identical. Also, Chocobos and often moogles (or Mogs) are present among all the games.
    Fun fact: The numbering for FF was tumultuous through localization. 1-3 were considered too similar for Western audiences, so they only released the first one here on the NES. What was FF2 for us was Japan's FF4, and our FF3 was their FF6. Suffice to say, when FF7 came out, many English speakers were like "Huh? What happened to 4-6??"
    Even more fun fact: The original Final Fantasy was named so because it was Squaresoft's (the company that eventually merged with Enix, making SquareEnix) last ditch effort to not go bankrupt. I think it succeeded.

    You are gonna LOVE this FF7 Remake game! I am one of those people who have played the OG FF7 before too and the sequels and the prequel as well. I've been waiting for this to happen and it finally did. Anyway I guess you already know about how Cloud is a lost man right now who doesn't have his priorities in order acting like this merc who's so rude closed off and hardly caring about anything but money. Also you saw that he's got a fractured mind problem that causes haunting hallucinations which are mostly of that Sephiroth guy.
    Furthermore those ghostly things you saw were NOT in the OG FF7 game before!

    You mentioned tips, so I'm just going to pop a few in here and hopefully you'll see them.
    First of all, you're doing great with the combat, you picked stuff up pretty quickly, but there are a few things I'm not sure if you've realised or not. Often you had full ATB for one or both characters and didn't use them. You can see the blue bar underneath the HP of each character and that is the ATB bar. You should use them once you get them, because they are far more powerful than regular attacks, which do very little damage. This isn't an issue early game, but will become one later, so make sure you're using ATB to use spells and abilities. Situationally, it makes sense to save them though (if you feel you'll need to heal, etc), so use your judgement, which you'll build up as you keep playing I'm sure.
    Another tip is don't worry about using the shortcuts to use abilities and spells. I've seen some lets players do that and they forget about all the other commands they have available to them in the menu. Personally, I think it makes more sense to use the menu, especially early on.
    Finally, don't be afraid to stop and look around more carefully. You said you have tunnel vision and I believe it because you looked right at two chests and didn't even see them (and you missed one entirely right at the beginning). Not a big deal because they only had items inside, but some chests do contain useful equipment and stuff, so yeah, don't feel the need to rush. The game throws a lot at people and if you aren't used to it, it can feel overwhelming. Take your time to learn. We're here to watch you play, no matter the pace.
    I loved this first part and I'm so excited to see you play more! ^.^

    Taking time to learn and read the tutorials is good and fine.
    I've watched a lot of bad Let's Plays over the last decade, and the ones that are the absolute worst... are when they skip or talk over a tutorial, then spend the entire episode going, "How do I do [the thing tutorialized]?!" It's so frustrating.
    Your way is better! It's like going on a journey together. :3
