    Its such a shame the comment's in every ff video turns into a competition...ff7 vs ff7r , tifa vs Aerith, cloud vs zack ...shut the fuck up already , the fucking internet is poison. Being someone who played the og in 97 and it being one of my all time favs, it was a dream come true seeing these characters brought to life with modern day graphics..like if you truly love the world of ff7 then surely seeing it brought to life like this would be an emotional moment it was for me and ive embraced the changes. Also if you actually are paying attention to the clues and hints, it's not straying too far from the OG as you might think. OG is great and so are these remakes.

      He appeared in a couple of flashbacks. Zack had three important things in the story - that he died, that he was aeriths dead ex and something that hasn’t been fully covered in the remake yet. He was always dead from the start and there was no alternative universe stuff. Him being dead was a really important plot device and honestly in many ways he was a better character because he served a very distinct and important purpose which was greater than whatever it is they’re doing with him now, which mostly seems to be fanservice. The point of his character was always that he was dead.

    @kurnganrio 18 днів тому +4

    The tonality and atmosphere of FF7 is impeccably conveyed, and I wish Rebirth had done a better job at crystallizing the original's perfect balance between goofiness and darkness. The music when you find the beast you had to go through hurdles to avoid or kill is eerie, tense and riddled with the desperation of a tormented Cloud set on stopping a megalomaniac. In Rebirth, the visual beats strike with an almighty crescendo but it's a little too overbearing. When you find the snake in the PS1 version, no glissandos, diatonic changes or complex modulations are necessary to evoke that fear. It's just a spooky melody.

    • @jaybee4288
      @jaybee4288 17 днів тому

      Some of rebirths sound was just a bit odd choices. Like the Kalm music changing 3 times in short order when you walked around the town (Kalm, chadley, jazz) or the Cosmo canyon battle music that sounded like two tracks not fitting together properly, the scarlet boss music being too low volume, and the weirdness of the commentary and tracks in the keystone arena quest. Most of the new tracks was forgettable. I do like Gus’ theme and Regina’s theme though.

I thought the scene was good because it had voice acting, but the changes were basically Player sees that Barrett wasn’t responsible, Dyne got beat up and tied to a chair by baseball bat guy, your whole party got beat up and taken hostage by baseball bat guy, the prison isn’t scary, it’s a fun minigame place, Dyne has anime robot arm now, Dyne gets killed by Shinra as a hero rather than take his own life, you get no time to rest because palmer shows up and then the Turks and then car racing.
      To me all these changes were worse. But it was still a nice scene with the music and VA.

    Having played the games in this order:
    FF7 Remake
    FF7 Original
    FF7 Rebirth
    I have to say. While I appreciate the combat in the remake version of FF7, cos turn based ain’t my thing, so much of the charm of the OG is lost in the remake versions.
    The story of the original game is convoluted enough as is, but remake series insists on adding more characters, and confusing plot elements to make the story even harder to understand. From Zack being an almost nothing character in the original game. To now being shoved front and centre for fan service wore me thin really quickly.
    But… The thing I found most unforgivable was Aerith’s death scene. That scene in the OG is so raw, and shocking at the time. Whereas rebirth applies twists and turns of confusing time travel multiverse slop that rips the impact out of that moment. So sad.

      @@kurisu3000 I kind of agree an I'm not nostalgic for the original. I feel like the vibes in a lot of these clips are a lot stronger on the original, I don't like how muted the color palette is on the remake by comparison. The scenery is a lot more grey in the remake.
      I think rebirth is a solid remake, though I haven't played the original, hence me not having nostalgia for it. I do think that the original FF7 has some personality that the remakes (mainly rebirth) are missing though in large part because of the art direction change.I think 7 remake felt more accurate to the vibes of FF7's Midgar than Rebirth feels with all of its locations, they aren't bad but side by side they don't feel like they capture the original's atmosphere.
      Not bad at all and the scope of the game is massive so I don't think they could labor over every location as much as they did for Midgar to make sure they retain the original's atmosphere, the locations obviously have to be much larger and explorable from all directions so it takes a lot more time to build out a modern FF environment than it did for the old pre rendered ones.
      For a remake of a game I love and grow up with, I kind of want them to retain the original atmosphere and feeling of the world, this is why the ps4 remake of Shadow of the Colossus was a massive disappointment to many SotC fans, they really fucked up the atmosphere by removing the mist, removing the expressions and many animations from Wander, and just having photo real textures/dense polygonal detail which betrays the original art direction by Fumito Ueda. They should've looked to The Last Guardian more as a reference while remaking SotC because that shows what a more modern Ueda game would look like, the mist and lighting are super important to get right.
      If I grew up with FF7, I could imagine that those inconsistencies would matter a lot to me in these remakes, just like they did for me and SotC.
