Barret singing the victory fanfare is the best thing in the game, and I for one can't wait until I can get it as a ringtone
Yeah, and don't you ever say it's bad!!!
I liked it the first two times...then it got annoying 😆
I actually thought it lost it's impact with Barret. When Prompto did it in FFXV, it was charming. Here it seems like they are trying(too ahrd) to make it a meme.
His voice isn’t good, but that doesn’t mean his rendition is bad.
Shlt is annoying
I love they kept Cloud’s animation for when the player interacts with something like a door that can’t be opened - the one where cloud shrugs and shakes his head. Made me legit laugh the first time.
Nathan Knaebel dude same! Haha
You mean when you try to get into Tifas house? ;) Yea, I see you there.
Me too lol
Yep! :)
@@swamdono lmao yess, also before that in the beginning when Tifa takes Cloud to his room and in the cutscene where she goes into his room after him I'm like ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , then I was met with disappointment later..
Also, Rude stopped Reno from shooting at Tifa in the helicopter because he has a crush on her, this was implied in the original game
Also if you attack Rude while playing as tifa during the fight on the pillar. Instead of fighting back, he grabs her arm and does a karate chop to stun her for a second :)
jb0258 He does that to Aerith as well. I imagine he's trying to avoid hitting them, as they are women, and less because of his feelings for Tifa.
@@SakuraAvalon Because he's not supposed to damage the ancient. Not because she's a woman.
tatri2 What does slamming Cloud into Aerith count as?
Atsuko Kagari well he’s technically not hitting her
Tonberry is a boss fight near Aerith's house. Its a side quest from the Madam right before going after Corneo for the 2nd time.
Challenge accepted ☠️👍
TwiztiD DieseL make sure to swap constantly for ATB, and have someone to cast Raise, all members should have cure. (I recommend Barret for raise and cure because he has a good distance from tonberry’s Stop)
@@Growmetheus The cure is unnecessary, since all his attacks r one hit KO.
Or just don’t get hit it‘s not that hard with Tonberry
Fernando Oliveira his scourge atk isn’t OHKO and can be survived with 900+HP
Best line in the game so far was from the pharmacist...
"Your friend fought a house?...
A house?"
Lol
Nah best line was from the weapon shop owner in Sector 7. When you first talk to him, he says "I ain't selling any weapons to you punk ass b*tch!" That had me dying! So NWA of him to say! Lol
@@jti13 I LOVE THAT LINE! Its mad funny
where do you find this marvelous line at? i think i missed quite a bit in wall market
@@bigstopowens a sidequest from the farmacist where you have to deliver medicine, I think it only triggers if you do Johnny's side quests
My favorite line in the entire game was "I ain't your bro."
When Cloud and Aerith are traveling across the rooftops...
Aerith: Shall we mosey?
Cloud: Let's.
Mosey is brought up a couple of times, I think it's part of Shinra's dialect. There are other phrases they keep bringing up that don't make much sense but I figured it's just the way they talk over there.
@@Carla-ec6xn It's old American wild west, and ranch slang. Mosey on now friend.
@@timothyswanson8773 ohhh cool! I think it's nice they made it part of their vocabulary
@Emmanuel Goldstein I got some bad news for you, buddy...
@@MarcosAraujo-ps3od did you play the remake?
they missed the wedge burning his butt part, in the original he burned his butt from the reactor explosion, and he didnt do that in this one, however he does get it bitten by a dog in one part. at one point jessie checks his butt and says the damage to it is like a minor burn.
Nice catch. The action and voice acting distracted me from obvious things like that.
he got hit by a bullet and not bitten by a dog...
@@marcschuringa9700 no, he gets bitten by one of the dogs and chased while cloud fights off the rest
@@Primal_Lupo He also gets shot at while taking the chain-grapple in Cloud's place. The reinforcements don't come in quite fast enough to save him that indignity.
Actually you're all wrong, a a bullet grazed his pants causing a minor burn.
Another call back would be when you do the secret stash of Corneo's side quest, you'll end up collecting 3 tiaras. They are Diamond, Ruby and Elmerald tiaras, which are also the giant weapons you fight against in the original.
They were also items you could get for Cloud in the original during the dressing up segment of Wall Market. Although I think the worst one was a glass tiara and not an emerald one.
If you look at the items in the inventory, the designs of the tiaras clearly resemble the weapons as well!
Idk why ppl wank so hard to this basic bs
@@ThePresentation010 why do you read comments? Oh, you have no life so you wanna feel like you have one by ripping on others, I see
@@ThePresentation010 Imagine enjoying content in a game
One of the turks ringtone is the victory theme song.
MikSIK. Rudes
ThaReal CLo it was either Tifa or cloud I remember it being in that scream when he’s at the church
ThaReal CLo It was Loz
Kakuzu567 Schultz your sooo right
Its as thing from Advent children as well.
I’m honestly still baffled how they got certain aspects of the original spot on without making it cringe or corny. I can’t wait to see how they do the dolphins 🐬 in junon
When fighting Reno for the first time in the church, and you step on the flowers Aerith makes comments. One of those comments is "your going to catch holy hell" which is an exact quote said in the original game by one of the grunts when Reno told them to not step on the flowers after he hypocritically does.
It was a small thing that I was like "ohhhh that cool".
So so good
I was waiting for that comment but it never came! Guess I should've stepped on the flowers 😂
I'm 27 years old and played the OG FF7 on PS1 but I never knew that leveling up to level 7 at the begining was a nod to game being the 7th main game. It's the gift that keeps on giving lol. Also you could say the Seventh Heaven bar is also a nod too. Man Square Enix really has a hard on for the numbers 7 and 13 for some reason
You know back in the old days it was Square Soft not Square Enix.
7 and 13 are really special numbers to them
@Ro Bear In Aeriths house in the remake theres books with the same numbers.
9 literally has the number 9 referenced all the time
wait till you get 7777 hp on one of your characters.
i like the fact that every boss fight has its own variation of "those who fight further"
And that every boss fight was turned up to eleven. Not a single underwhelming one. Honestly can't imagine what they have in store for the Weapons.
@@CidGuerreiro1234 I'm a little scared tbh. The Bahamut fight cranked up to 13 is my guess.
I love that both Crisis Core and Dirge or Cerberus get little nods, besides the Banora White. At one point, it is mentioned that there are G and S cells for SOLDIER candidates, these being part of Project Gillian and Sephiroth from Crisis Core. There is another nod to Dirge in the subterranean lab below Sector 7 - a subtle nod to Deepground being below Sector 0
This is crazy for me, so as I was playing today, I'm in the slums where after you sneak out of aerith house. So I remembered when I was a child playing ff7 I run into thee fucking hell house and they'd kick my ass to the point of discouragement... Fast forward today, I'm going through the slums preparing for the hell house... none to be found, get to the Colosseum... THE FUCKING HELL HOUSE IS A BOSS.....
I screamed.
I laughed my ass off! I too was wondering how in the hell they were going to add it in, and then when I heard them shout Hell House, I lost my marbles in laugher. I very much appreciated how much of a challenge it was too. I'm so impressed by their attention to detail with every monster, and using the full potential of some of the smaller less known ones.
i smiled and at the same time having goosebumps seeing it and fighting it, overall i really enjoyed the experience :)
honestly the hardest boss in the game thus far (I'm currently on chapter 17)
I was the same I’d heard it was in the game but no idea where so tiptoeing around hoping I didn’t bump into it then it ends up being a boss and not as hard to beat as I remember
When you are escorting Aerith through the rooftops and shes is about to jump down she does the same silly animation she did in the original when she is jumping from a rooftop to the other
I liked the cute banter back in forth "i thought you we're a soldier candidate?" "Soh petey"
Serioisly cute repy and shows how good aerith's VA is.
@@Chip-Chapley She is. She also sounds so natural, like she is improvising the entire time
HuevonMakor and she’s a super cute UA-camr
I kinda flipped out when they added Eligor in the Train Graveyard with a stealable staff weapon for Aerith just like the original game. I remember spending a good while to encounter and steal that weapon too
That chapter was awesome
I think you can steal it when he has lower health. But when he got lower health I forgot to steal it from him haha.
Can u get the weapon anywhere else
@@rovermg25 I think that's the only way to get it in the remake
@@laxking251 that chapter are awesome 🤣
The LOVELESS reference goes one level deeper - it's referring to the ending of the FF7R.
I won't spoil what.
I'm curious what you're referring to.
@Hu Kares I may know what you're referring to, but I'll rewatch what Genesis says.
Thank you! I was looking for this comment
"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess we seek it thus and take to the sky" a mystery people may look for with the coment of Loveless
These are flashes of the future if .
Yep, I’m an old FFVII fan and everything in the Remake experience was awesome. Other people nitpicking it complaining about the skybox and characters hair being pixelated and sub quests being fetch quests only plays the game just to play it then moving on. In the end, FFVII remake is pretty much a love letter to real fans of the title just like Advent Children.
Have you got to the end yet? I loved the game up until you got off the bike on the road at the end. Then shit went sideways
For the hundred times know the meaning of REMAKE and remaster
@@helleschi6131 and this game is Neither of those...
Remaster would've been taking the Original game, update graphics and music. For example, FF8HDRemaster
Remake: take the original story retell it, but with prettier graphics and sound, improved gameplay. Example: Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.
Taking the Original story, using the first 3 hours of it, then pushing it to the side in order to add cringy pseudo convoluted Fan fiction that would've been better suited for KH is NOT a Remake... it's a reboot or a VERY LOOSE adaptation.
Yes! I will admit, the ending really did have me in flux for a few hours. I contemplated, thought to myself for a long time, and then came to the same conclusion. Furthermore, I read a couple articles about people talking about it, and helped me really wrap my brain behind what the Hell I had just experienced, lol. Ultimately, I cried. Just a little, but cried none the less. I cried because not only did I have my own revelation of what really just happened, but to me, Star Wars, The Matrix, and Final Fantasy VII are the ultimate story lines in my opinion, but something about 7 has always stood out to me more than the rest. It's something I have deeply loved since 1997, and to see the respect to the most minor details, the beyond updated graphics and fighting style, while honoring the style of Crisis Core, the in depth story to each individual, the much darker look at Shinra, the true emotions of the people around them, and over all bringing Midgar to life, even beyond what they did in Advent Children, while still! Giving us at the end, that fight we've all craved after watching Advent Children.... I could go on and on, but all around, yes! This was an enormous love letter to us fans that I have waited 15 years for! After all this time, and finally experiencing this game to its fullest, there is no telling what's going to happen next! I hated how certain people's....paths were changed, hoping not to reveal any spoilers, and are now in the air, but this is them setting up to later give us the greatest Final Fantasy VII game we've ever seen, because don't forget, this is just the beginning.
Now that I've said my long peice, let me add the one Easter egg I was slightly sad not to see. I was hoping there would be a reference to the typo in the first batch of originals where Aerith says, "This guy are sick." It would have been funny to find that same guy, and for her to say that, then clear her throat, and say, "Sorry, I mean this guy's sick." Lmao
@@DO4M bruh it's not even like kh, and how is it fan fiction if the same guys that made the original wrote it.
And Zack's fighting style mimmicked Angeal's a lot. So in a way, Cloud's the third in line.
Singing the victory theme was something Prompto does in FFXV, too.
They do it in a few games.
The Crowd in the slaughter house in Lightning Returns did that as well. xD
Who? FFXV? Sorry I erased that game from my memory
@@RogueSeraph Square should release the next game labeled ff XV and just act as the original never existed...
Yes, but nobody likes Prompto.
In the original church u throw barrels at the enemies to save areis, in this game it's a chandelier but if u look in the attic u will see the barrels as a nod to the original 😉😉😉
Aerith* jeez..
@@HereticSaiko 🤣🤣, I spells it as I says it
I seen one barrel and made me think of that!
Dont spoil pls. I dont even know who areis is.. Great thanks for the spoilers
@@vanzwho854 Shouldn't be reading the comments on Remake videos until you finish the game, dude.
This is a small, *circular* reference, but Cloud's interaction with Aerith at the church also has some overlap with Zack's meeting with Aerith in Crisis Core. (Zack meets Aerith for the 1st time by falling through the church roof, very similar to the way Cloud would meet up with her years later.) It's a small touch, but the first faint *"Hell-llooo!"* that Aerith says moments before Cloud wakes from his fall is an exact replica of "Hell-llooo" she voices to wake Zack in Crisis Core. The Remake seems to have incorporated many of Aerith's mannerisms and auditory speech patterns from the Crisis Core installment as well. (For anyone wanting some fun comparing the two, Gamer's Little Playground has a video entitled "Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII All Cutscenes"; the church scene with Aerith & Zack can be found at the 1 hr, 16 min mark.) :)
(Small unrelated sidenote: I'm both happy AND disappointed that Cloud doesn't have the option to call her the 'slum drunk' this time, lol.)
Wrong. Cloud meets her first in FF7. Then bad storytelling comes along, and the same plot device is recycled again in Crisis Core. Which is a pretty dumb game across the board. Dont get me started on how 1-dimensional Zack is, or how convoluted the science behind Sephiroth Clones became, or Angeal in his entirety.
Like the previous person said, that scene happened first in FF7 and was then used again in Crisis Core, except that I actually liked the game and Zack unlike the previous commenter lol
Yeah same and i liked Zack and CC too
I'm waiting for her to drop the line, "dilly dally shilly shally"... Chills man...
Aerith's kid flashback has her with the Pink Ribbon in her hair. It's not like there are no others ribbons, but the one she wears was giving to her by Zack
There are tiaras that you find and sell that are references to to the weapons of the original. Diamond, Emerald, and Ruby
False, they reference the tiaraas you could get when getting a dress for cloud
@@lucagordon5770 Well hes not false those are also the names of the weapons
@@woolf123 true enough I guess
Yeah the tiaras aren't just named diamond, Ruby and emerald they actually have shapes similar to the Weapons themselves
@@lucagordon5770 Watch the shape of the Tiaras in your inventory.
I love how Jonny is telling everyone hes friend defeated a house and people just look at him as if hes mad.
While on subject I'm saddened they did not have the rene stepping on the flower scene. I thought this was important. As a reminder in the original he tells the soldiers not too step in the flowers and then without realising he ends up walking all over them and the soldiers try to point this out too him. I loved this interaction in the original game I was gutted when it was not in the remake.
OMG SAME!!!!! I went specifically looking for that scene.. sigh... makes me wonder what other funny/charming sequences they're gonna cut out..
I agree now it's worth saying the point of that in the original was to show an element of connection between him and Airith. And in fairness they managed to show this connection another way.
But like you said I kept expecting it too happen in 4 different parts of the scene so I built my self up even more.
Never mind
It is in there...during the fight if you step on the flowers you get some fun dialogue. Also before that if you walk through the flowers as Cloud, Aerith says now she has start working all over again. :) by the ways you can make Reno step on the flowers in the fight too. It’s incredible how much thought and care went into this game
Donta Crowder following the goo scene annoyed me. I soooo prefer the original following the massive amount of corpses and blood. It really gave you a sense of terror to the power of this person that you’re chasing. This one did things in a different way, I’m not saying I don’t like it, I just think the original did that scene so much better.
What I liked about that interaction was that the shinra troops were on a more equal footing with Reno. Being able to speak up against him like that. Presumably because Reno doesnt care much for regulations and treats his colleagues like people. It shows a lot of character wich thankfully was reflected quite well in the remake. Im looking forward to seeing Elena and more of the Turks. Though I fear their involvement with Corneo will be replaced by Leslie.
Small meta easter egg, on chapter 2 when Cloud boards the train and they are going through the crowds of people on board, you actually spot Kyrie, a character introduced later on, on board, pickpocketing.
She's also seen in chapter three in sector 7!
MrKnaives I forgot about that!
Johnny was also there i guess
@@mimuxx2764 It would be funny if Johnny and Kyrie end up together by the end of the Remake despite her stealing from him. Those two seem kind of like they would deserve one another.
Kunsel from Crisis Core gets a name drop, in the shinra HQ while looking for the informant, and there are a couple spots where you can find tonberrys outside of VR
A couple? Where only found 1 in a sidequest and that’s it.
I lost my shit when they referenced Kunsel lol
Same xD would've been cool if he actually showed up😂
I wanted to wait to see him. I wanted to find out if he ever got promoted to first class since crisis core era. Why Square Enix got to toy with us like that?
@@chelseykate14 I was legit mad at Cloud for asking Tifa and Barret to keep going XD I was like CLOUD I HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS TO SEE KUNSEL'S FACE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND
10: Reno's phone has the victory theme as its ringtone.
Definitely an advent children reference!!! That and rude constantly changing his sunglasses!
Pretty sure that's Rude's phone.
You could also mention that 'Loveless' was inspired by MBV's album of the same title which was listened to heavily while they were making FF7.
That's not "singing" Barrett is doing. Consider it a victory "shout". A post battle haka grunt. It's a win, just leave him alone.
To hell with you, Beret's singing happens to be my favorite part of the game. Xp
"Where could they be goiiiiiing. Embarking on an adventure to find some treasURE!"
He sounds like robert downy jr in tropicthunder
It's kinda like Prompto from FFXV. He's the cheerleader of the party.
I’s settle for a remaster of crisis core. Even not a remake, a remaster of that game is good enough for me just to experience the tame ❤️
I still have my psp just so I can play this game. It would be good if they’d put it on the PlayStation though cause it’s such a good game and answers some of the questions from ff7.
Blaze Flamestrike I couldn’t agree more! Maybe it will come as a dlc but who knows? Here’s to hoping 🤞🤞
Go beat FFVII Remake...you’ll be very surprised, we might be getting a lot more Zack Fair than we thought...
But how many episodes will it take to complete the whole game? 10 maybe?
mac1bc I’d say closer to around 5 games in total. Mostly because if they are adding the open world element/over world from the original it’ll be reusable assets for the rest of the games. Midgar also will be reusable to a point since we visit it again towards the end, with optimization getting better and better for the same size game you could probably get about 100-150 hours per game. This one is supposed to be around 60 if memory serves (meaning all content, not skipping cutscenes, doing all side quests etc.) so if each future installment is about 100-150 hours each (considering expanded lore and now brand new story elements, expansive locations like Junon, Nibelheim, Nibel Mountain, Gold Saucer, Cosmo Canyon etc. quests within those, new mini games, explorable areas within those locations, expanded lore on the locations, and additional characters, etc.) I would make a hypothesis of the total being around 500-600 hours of story and content. For the entire FFVII saga. They announced that it would all be playable on the PS4 (PS5 has backwards compatibility and likely will see FFVII Remake and subsequent releases even further optimized) so I believe that would be roughly enough to accommodate Square Enix’s ambitions on this Remake. Who knows they might try for a total of VII games and include even more stuff from the compilation like before crisis or maybe add on to the end and explore stuff like deep ground, from Dirge of Cerberus. Funny enough I think there was an Easter egg in Wall Market referencing deep ground. 2 ladies are talking about how there’s this job that pays extremely well but you can’t apply for it and you have to get selected for it. The other lady responds with it sounds shady. Which was how deepground did get a lot of their personnel but it could also be just how Hojo’s gets some of his experiments. Promise wealth and riches and instead end up a monster. Meh, I can say though I’m already looking forward to the next game.
For #5 , how the ending (of LOVELESS) was different, I thought it was foreshadowing to actual FF7R where the ending is vastly different (whereas the rest of the game is the same as the OG)
There are posters with a cat and the description was "see through there eyes". That reminded me of caith sith
And the fact Cait Sith shows up in full briefly at the sector 7 plate cutscene.
@@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506 one thing that always confused me with Cait Sith, does he have an AI in there with his own personality, or is it always Reeve? Because in the scene in Remake, i am guessing it's Reeve using it to check out the damage, since he seems to be the one guy with a conscience at Shinra.
Recht_voor_zijn_raap wich chapter is that ? I never saw him but i had some spaced out moments so that could be why loll
@@jamiemsm4883 I think Reeve may have actually been trying to go stop the plate drop, but was way too late to even reach the sector.
*Honey Bee Inn scene
Square Enix: no
Nomura: yes
Me: yes
@VerumRex How did they butcher Tifa?
@VerumRex you do realize that she's wearing a sports bra basically the entire game, right? Any woman with boobs will tell you how much they compress and with Tifa still having what looks to be a large D, that's saying a fucking lot considering she's wearing a skin tight sports bra and then a shirt over it. Tifa is still stacked to the rafters, you're literally bitching over titty pixels my dude
@@LucianUchiha if you also play Dissidia NT. Tifa's breast is the same is the remake. Even without the black 2nd layer sports bra.
As for the other clothing changes, pretty much all the characters have some minor alterations one way or the other.
Me yes yes yes
Seriously, you're not going to mention the 3 empty Magitek armors from FF6 in the Sector 5 Junkyard? They modified them a little to make the cockpit closed but I knew it was them as soon as I saw them!
Thomas Ladwig I scrolled down looking to see if someone mentioned this. Thx
They really are "armors" but Magitek Armors are way cooler than that =(
It could be some prototype, but yes
If only Biggs and Wedge could be around to work on them...
I KNEW i recognized then from somewhere!
I thought they were just supposed to be old exosuits. The Magitek stuff looks way more 19th Century Industrial Revolution, influenced.
I'm probably the only person that adored Edgelord Genesis and his constant quoting of not Shakespear.
"Even in a morrow barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return. To become the dew that spares the land, the seas, the skies. I offer thee this silent sacrifice."
This ish is my jam!
Because it is terrible? Do you just enjoy pedantic?
I gotta give props to tabata. He sure knows how to make people hate & feel annoyed with Genesis & Hollander respectively
@@JemXem Because they're just discount Sephiroth and Hojo wow so original and unique. They could have done so much more with a little bit of creativity and thought.
@@Ask4This I know your saying this just discount sephiroth like it a bad thing. But that is what they are
I enjoyed him as well and thought he added some real depth to the story and universe. Despite others seeing him as a 'discount so-and-so' I think he was very original. Besides, he emulated Sephiroth so its no wonder he seemed similar in some ways. Genesis added to Sephiroth's backstory more, giving him some more normality instead of him being this stoic, god-like man.
When you finish with jessie's mission and parachute back to the slums when wedge takes you to his cats in my opinion is obviously a reference to the notorious big which may sound funny but "biggums" "Reggie" "smalls" just cant be overlooked
Holy fuck I’m a giant biggie fan and I didn’t realize that. Thank you.
When you save theres a little icon in the corner thats the original save station symbol
That cloud punisher stance resembling sephiroth is a stretch imo. It looks far more identical to rikus stance on kingdom hearts
Ah! That's it! THANK YOU! It was bothering while I was watching 'cause I knew that stance but couldn't put my finger on it for some reason.
Hi boss
bungi fish THANK YOU, IM KIND OF MAD THAT HE SAID THAT, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAHAHAHAHA
YOU'RE RIGHT HOLY CRAP
It is a stretch. Sephiroth uses two hands in that stance. Cloud only uses one with the other outstretched. He's incorrect.
The tonberry was a boss fight for a side quest and also in the VR.
Heck even a Malboro is in the game!
xGhostCat wher eis the malboro?
@@tommasotedesco Hard Mode
Not to mention the Hell House on hard mode spits em out like bad candy!
When I saw Tonberry show up at the side quest yard fight, I laughed like hell remembering the original.
Matheus Ossiliere how do you find him ?
There is a nice nod to AC where Cloud meets Sephiroth in chapter 17, he holds his left arm where the geostigma is shown in AC.
And how Hojo mentions S and G class to mate with Aerith, the G class is a CC nod
Not sure if this is a good thing or not 😅
ayo spoilers
So much fun. Just started my hard mode playthrough cant wait until part 2!
Me too
The Corneo cup has the victory theme, thank you.
I love everything about this game. if I had to pick my favorite moment in the game, I would say the first boss fight with Reno. in the OG game all you did was run. but this time...I mean I loved how hard that fight was as well as how fun it was. honestly I loved all the boss fights.
That was actually one of the few battles that seemed shoehorned in to me. I felt the scene leading up to it where Cloud wakes up and meets Aerith again was extremely rushed and didn't give you much of a breather between Airbuster and Reno.
@@fergalstackstreams It's Final Fantasy, I don't think getting a breather in the game would be very fun.
Almost everything Barrett does just makes me smile. I love him so much🥺
Everything was perfect. His updated writing, the excellent localization and John Eric Bentley’s performance were absolute perfection.
I think they did an amazing job with this remake so far. The attention to detail is absolutely ridiculous and on point! And boy oh boy did they nail the crossdressing segment of the game. I was questioning how they were going to pull it off but was surprised with how well it turned out. The whole experience has been really really good for me.
This caught me, too. 20+ years ago, that whole thing was kind of a big deal and unheard of in video games. I was wondering how they could possibly recreate Don Corneo's character and the whole cross dressing thing without making a complete joke of it but they absolutely nailed it.
@@anubrakahn2970 implying a 5 minute QTE dance scene on the stage of a cabaret isn't a joke
I like how even though they changed it, they still included the dress shop clerk and his drunk father in a sidequest.
You don't even mention that the Gym NPCs are based on real bodybuilders' name
Ronnie Coleman
Jay Cutler
Jules Bacon
Being a huge fan of bodybuilding and gaming and seeing both those worlds collide was amazing 😍
Hi my friend
as a long time bodybuilding fan, i can't believe what i just read
Also, many of the benches you rest at have the old save icon from the original game on them. Thought that was neat.
CauseOfTheCollapse not only that, some, if not all, are placed in the exact same locations as the save points as well
@@benjaminvo1872 The most out of place one is seeing one of these bus/park benches in the middle of Hojo's lab.
My favourite little nod in the game so far is after beating Reno you go into the roof of the church.
In the background are the barrels you'd drop onto the guards in the original.
A great little flourish
EVERY Crisis Core reference is absolutely invaluable to me.
When Hojo spoke about Project G I almost lost it
@Maverick M16 he didn't have to, Project G wasn't a thing in the OG, it's definitely a Crisis Core thing. Project Gillian made Angeal and Genesis.
@Maverick M16 he does say Project S and Project G
Aerith not liking the real sky is one more
Wait, the shampoo easter egg is actually a reference to Crisis Core being a reference to Sephiroth's hair care. He apparently uses a bottle of that brand each time he washes his hair.
Yep...a WHOLE bottle 😂😂😂
Barrets fanfare rendition is still better than Gameranx calling Midgar, "Midgur" lol
Ouch
And Abzu Apps
Or calling Mako "Mayko"
@@Nicking989 To be fair, Abzu being called Abs is a veteran thing. In the TRUE AND COMPLETE FFVII, Abzu was called Abs. It's how people stil say Aeris, instead of Aerith.
@@DO4M True, I never actually noticed that before and I own the original non platinum PSX version. Guess it just shows how long it's been since I played it.
When the Hell House came into the arena I had flashbacks to multiple game overs.. lol
The Hell House was the first boss that gave me actual multiple game overs.
@@EbuCallinav I'm now playing that chapter on hard mode and am getting game over screens in the present lol.
the level of detail that went into this whole game is frankly, insane, so much goes to the level of 'they didn't have to, but they did it anyway' and its honestly great to see.
Best easteregg have to be in the ending when Zack walks by Aerith and she quotes: She misses the plate sky.
To quote Zack: That girl said the sky frightening her but this looks to liberating.
*sob*
in the japanese dialogue for the game, aerith simply says that the sky is scary. freedom is scary. she does not reference the plate specifically.
You can add the design of AVALANCHE troopers is exactly how they look like in Before Crisis.
Wait, someone actually mentions that the ending of Loveless has changed this year..?
The level up! First thing I noticed when I played the demo, it made me so happy
FF VII is hands down my fav. game. I was ultra-excited for the remake, but simultaneously deathly afraid they'd fuck it up. Getting ready to fight Rufus. Square finally proved they could still make games. I'm in love with it all over. Couldn't ask for anything more...okay I could ask for the fanfare music proper, but that's a pretty small complaint. They absolutely nailed it. I just desperately hope we get world map to explore on part 2, and retain our character and item progress somehow - please! I'm also super happy there is a whole new generation of gamers that may fall in love with this as well. Hats of to Square. Big balls move with this game, just like it was back in the day.
Daniel comeback when you beat it because that ending...
0:16 By Shiva...it's Aerith with a Steel Chair!!!
That Hellhouse was the one enemy I questioned how it would work in the remake
Jeremy Levesque I was like wtf am I looking at 😂
Me and a friend were wondering how they'd pull it off in the remake, and that they probably wouldn't. Walking through sector 5 and it didn't show we figure, yeah it's not happenign is it... I was cheering when it showed up at the Colloseum
For me it was those weird teapot robot enemies with an old man head popping out to put a status effect on you that I thought would not be put in.... the madmen did put them in.
We still have Triceratops Tank and Ghost Ship to look forward to (:
Get ready for Ghirofelgo in the Shinra Mansion. That weird thing with the guilotine as it's lower half.
after doing a side mission in the sector 7 slums, the quest giver mentions a secret lab underneath sector 7. thats a dirge of Cerberus easter egg.
Is it? Because you did go to an underground lab eventually in the game. I initially thought it’s deepground but no references at all while you’re in the secret lab
@@JackMihoff6969 haven't gotten far enough in the game yet to go to a secret lab.
Its foreshadowing for a dungeon later in the game.
IIRC The Tsviets were kept under the Shin-Ra building aka Sector 0. Vincent lands on the Sector 7 Graveyard IIRC when attempting to raid Midgar in DoC.
@@DO4M Which is dumbshit storytelling. Shinra accidentally blew up several reactors in the past. Why the hell would they keep one underneath HQ. Storytelling at its finest lol....... I reject DoC
disliked Barret in the original, LOVE him in the remake. I cried so much today at the ending when he said Daddy will come back. They have put so much soul into this game!!
But he's exactly the same...
My favourite Easter Egg in FF7:R was fighting a heartless from kingdom hearts 1 at chapter 18 (same boss sora fought back then before leaving the island)
This make me are sick to my stomach.
Uhh what the hell are you talking about???
@@TigerWolf111 probably the harbinger of fate
I see what you did there ;)
I still can't decide if I hate the ending or not. I'm so conflicted.
Troll lol funny tho
True ending lost to time? that feels kind of on the nose when you've completed the game.
It's not, if you beat the hidden boss in Crisis Core, you get the last act
Worst day ever and i come in and find Gameranx uploaded a video 2 minutes ago. Thanks GR. i needed that.
I may be looking too far into it, but the fact the Loveless play has a different ending may be a nod to how this FF7 remake has a different ending...
Didn't Prompto also do the victory theme in FF15 once in a while? It's been a while since I played 15 so I don't remember.
Yes, prompto also did it.
He sure did prompto use to be the first to die lol his so shit
@@gurentgc3546 Thank You
@@ivenzeh Also Thank You
yep but I think the best song from 15 was the chocobo them when prompto sang it lol but it got annoying after the 3 time hearing it.
I truly hope they remake FF7:Crisis Core
That game is awesome.
Andrew Mendoza they can’t because it uses the likelihood of a real life person „GACK“ in this case and therefore its a legal minefield unless they pay him large amounts of money.
Or just give us a steam port. Finally.
4:35 WRONG, the way he holds the sword and walking speed kind of resembles more his guarding stance in Kingdom Hearts, in fact in this stance he seems to share more attacks with his KH self including the way he smashes the ground when holding square.
I’ve got final fantasy and I was worried it wouldn’t be great but I love it and would recommend it to anyone even if you haven’t played the original
I thought it would be to short since its only midgar but iv put well over 40 hours into it already☺
Edit: just checked my save had to correct that lol
Yeah IF you haven't played the orginal. This one was horrible.
@@turkishgypsy270 I beat it in 15. Short ass game. They ruined it.
does it have the classic turn base combat or is it the terrible "hack and slash" kinda combat?
@@nostradamusofgames5508 so it's kinda hack and slash, but its quite tactical. I hate hack and slash games, but you cant just mindlessly attatck constantly and win.
0:46 leave that man alone, he’s having a good time!
I have to admit, I've never played a Final Fantasy game in my life, but enjoying you video.
They're all pretty good. 15 a little less and this one was just garbage.
@@herooftime9921 ff7 remake isn't garbage
I like what they did to the music of the pinball machine. Nice little homage there more than anything.
*GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU*
I just love that they retained the identity of the Turks from the original game and then in Advent Children.
Disappointed that Elena doesn't make her debut at Shinra Tower. It would have fit to have her arrive with Rufus but I can understand not wanting to introduce another character so late in this story.
I got excited when I saw hell house, it was one of them enemies I wanted them bring back!
Nicely done guys
Don't get me started on hell house, it was a wall for months in the original game and seeing it in the remake, when I was excited for the most part, it was downright frustrating and PTSD inducing
A wall for months? It was a regular enemy.
@@ryancronin7897 was it? Maybe I'm thinking of something else then, regardless I have mixed feelings about seeing it again
Yeah, it was a frustrating "regular" enemy in the original. When I was a teenager, my mom bought me a PS and FF7, but she didn't know she needed to buy a memory card. I played for several hours straight and lost to the Hell House. A couple of times.
My favorite reference with the PS1 version is that when we advanced in the game we should change the disc. Now we need to wait a year and buy a new game, very cool.
There's 3 disk but they'll make 5 parts. Full price. Oh and the director announced at least a ff7 remake in 10 years again.
@@hikari67 haha so funny absolutely funny original and relevant joke!^^
@@hikari67 Why do you guys insist on spreading bulshit. He never 'announced,' another remake in ten years. He said he loves FF7 so much and working on this he could remake it every ten years and be happy with his job. He was saying that just to describe how much he enjoyed this project.
Do you really think they could remake the original as one single game for $60 with todays production and standards? Did you cry about there being three Mass Effect games?
@@ryancronin7897 That's an unbelievably good point that I've not seen before. Doubt anyone would be pissed if it were a new game series and not a remake.
I'm a new fan, I'm playing the remake, but I already love how the story is telled and the fights are made.
Never have seen this kind of 'beauty' in a game. I really love running around and just explore the slums or making side quests or even find all the music.
May someone explains me, what it is up with those so called episodes of FF7? Will we get another game after this one but completely relayed to it? If so, I'm more than happy but will we also play with the things we achieved in this game now?
Zero O the final fantasy remake is just only 1/10 of the original . In the original you can finish the Midgar part for only 3 hours
Did anyone notice if you choose the stairs in the Shinra HQ building, as you get farther up, and Cloud walks slower, the music starts getting really muffled and distorted, like they are having auditory hallucinations from being exhausted. lmao
The punisher stance also looks like Riku’s battle position
Wouldnt it be the other way around? Riku's stance looks like sephiroth's
The score on the pinball machine to go to the ‘secret base’ downstairs is also 7,777,777 ;)
lucky 7's ftw! =D
Wow I never noticed the Zack and Sephiroth battling stances. Great job noticing. Also the Palmer in the Honey bee inn is so hilarious!
Ive only heard the barret battle end singing a couple of times. if it was too often itd be very annoying but its pretty funny with how little you hear it
If the remake ends with:
“... and then Aerith wakes up”
Imma flip a table.
@@DontForgetOldKolobok nah. you are burning piece of KNF KNF KNF UNN UNN UNN
You seriously spoiled this shit for so many people? And also fucking dare saying something stupid as that, when you look at the game and you expect they ruin a remake that is actually better than the original to do something shit like that? Have you no shame?
@@DontForgetOldKolobok i gusss you played a different game then
So much worse.... at least for me. But some ppl actually said that they liked... so...
@@alexmurador its different from the original. Thats not a bad thing perse. People are autistic as fuck and cant handle changes.
You guys are the best UA-cam channel for reviews and stuff like this! Keep it up
Loveless is also a part of the OG Final Fantasy VII. Cid talks about it on the highwind in part 3 I believe(?). But still, if you talk to him on the highwind at some point, he mentions Loveless and about how he fell asleep during it, and how someone had to wake him up because he was snoring. He talks about how the ending was special. So it’s a bit of a reference to both games
I dont often give a thumps up. And even though I liked your vid I didn't think about doing it. BUT then came the fact about hellhouse... My absolute favorite enemy in the game. I totally agree with you. Well done.
The hell house was the best unexpected battle ever
damn wanna play these game so bad, but sad I have no console for this game, but it's really great to see alot of references from crisis core from speed demon's sword is zack original one, to the apple, genesis loveless and also the original one from the original ff7 but I learned actually that leveling lvl 7 was references to the series number same as crisis core. Also I have a theory that the shinra operator or those troops one of them recognize cloud, thinking these are one of the dude's work with cloud in the crisis core in one of the mission in the snow. or the dude when there asked to be lined up.
The sword you mentioned is a standard issue SOLDIER's sword.
@@Svoorhout85 yea
@@Svoorhout85 but damn still reminds me of zack fair beginning hehe
09:02 Tonberry is actually in the game.. He is an optional boss in Chapter 14 in the sector 5 slums near Aeriths house.
I bust out laughing big time when you get to the Shinra HQ building and pick to go up the stairs instead of the elevator. As soon you walk in, Barrett says 'you have got to be shittin' me'. 😂
I was laughing about that for several minutes.
First cool thing I noticed: Yuffie is sitting on the train after the bombing mission telling some guy next to her to chill out. I would have walked right by her but I recognized her voice and took a second look!
It's not Yufffie it's Kyrie, a character of the book "Turks - The kids are alright"
Thats Kyrie. Shes the one whos spreading the news in Sector 5 that Avalanche is working with Wutai and then asks for money from the crowd.
Tonberry shows up in the arena! He's a mean boy.
Hell House on hard mode spews three Tonberries every like 5minutes. It's a nightmare.
@@Mischievousharlequin If you Triple Slash the Tonberries twice as soon as they come out, you'll take out all 3 of them.
@@jcarson3721 I know. Doesn't stop it from being nightmare fuel.😂😂
As someone who never played the original, I absolutely LOVE the remake. One of my top 5 favorites, literally replaying it right now
Do the clips in the background come from what they have recorded on their gaming system or is their some sort of video stock website where they get all the clips from?
Two different soldiers recognize Cloud and one says they'll go get Kunsel, the soldier 2nd class loyal mentor to Zack.
Rude nudges the helicopter to knock Reno off balance on the turret so he doesn't hurt Tifa when they're trying to shoot down Cloud because he likes her.
