My original copy of FFVII had four discs. It was the Platinum Edition and the extra was a demo disc for FFVIII. Then later on I received FFVIII for a birthday disguised in a generic alarm clock box. I completely lost it once I discovered what it actually was. Fond childhood memories. The FF trilogy on Playstation will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I'm Italian and I bought the game during a tour in France because I thought:" damn, a 4cds game! I have to get it". The game was obviously in French and, even if I could understand 1 word out of 3, I managed to enjoy and finish the game 🤣🤣
The reason is the time it was released. At that time it was in the same time a milestone was met in video game history. Those born in 1977 to 1981 experienced the revolution of gaming. And I'm willing to bet most people who are even watching this were born during that time. In 1985 the release of Nintendo signified the start of elementary school. Super Nintendo in 91 was middle education, and 64/Playstation was higher education prior to college. That was peak "coming of age" for gamers and when life was about the advancement of games. It also peaked the next year's following to go to college for computer science statistically speaking. This game came out right at that golden time. And it created a new playing genre of open world exploration mixed with amazing visuals and cut scenes.
Fun fact about holy: while there is no holy materia, there is the alexander summon, which is holy elemental. Moreover, you can combine it with an elemental materia on your weapon to deal holy damage with every hit. Oddly enough, some enemies in the Northern Crater die instantly when hit with holy elemental attacks.

@@franimal86 Great choice as well, but I've already done my play through of FFT this year haha. Emulators are always great, I got my Vita though. Are you playing the Ps1 version or the PsP?
@@lastclassairman imagine trying to earn money to continue bringing you the videos you love??? It's literally the least we can do to support them without donating ourselves..
The music of the final fantasy series is amazing all of the musicians involved should infinitely take pride in their work this also goes for most if not all square games.
I also played FF7 for the first million times on pc only. Playing through it for the first time on PS1 was definitely an experience. As great as the Original soundtrack is...I do sometimes listen to those old midi soundtracks for the nostalgia.
I remember….. being 12 and walking around town….. walking around school….. always looking for loose change so I could save up to buy FF7. It took almost 4 months but I did it. Every penny,nickel,dime I found went directly into my pocket. How happy I was when I found a quarter…. Let alone if someone gave me 1$. The work was well worth it, I fell in love with the game 😍
Just a quick note about the battle framerate you mention around 11:00 The battles ran at 15fps on both platforms, but the major difference was that the menu's themselves updated at 60fps on PS1 and were locked to 15fps (same as the battle animations) on PC, leading to a much slower, clunkier experience.
@Dawn Razor Menu's updating at 60fps have much MUCH lower input lag than menu's updating at 15fps, imaging trying to navigate Windows but every time you try to scroll to something it takes almost a full second to get there
@Dawn Razor Count yourself lucky I suppose, the reason it was even brought up in this video is because it was a major factor in the PC port of the time being the lesser version.
Not so fun fact: I spent hundreds of hours, more than I care to admit, chasing down rumors of reviving General Leo in Final Fantasy 6. So much in fact that I never cared to pursue reviving Aerith, my friends swore it was possible. Fool me once... fool me twice. 😅
Remember playin as a kid and would say I was "SICK" and needed to stay home. And I would play this all day long and night long.👌 my favorite game still to this day and I still play it time to time.
Look up the Final Fantasy Crisis Core storyline. It is fairly detailed, and a great story that dives into Zach, Sephiroth, Hojo, Vincent, Lucretzia, and Aeris.
Did You Know? FF7 Integrade's long awaited PC port comes out on Thursday and the gaming public got collective blue materia when we realized it was an EGS exclusive.
Square: "We are working on the FF7 remakes next chapter" Us: "OK, can't wait. Don't do anything stupid to make us wait even longer haha" Square: "Like what?" Us: "Well, I don't know? Something ridiculous like announce another remake of the game. Something stupid like that- Wait, what are you writing down?" Square: "Nothing." **Grapples** Us: "G-Give that paper to me!" Square: "No! Let go! Sakaguchi! Help!" Us: "Sakaguchi can't help you now!"
I love Crisis Core's a bit more, but both are really amazing. And for all the flack FF13 gets, its soundtrack is also really good. I frequently find myself humming Sunleth Waterscape :) Ugh, and how can I leave off FFXV, with songs like False di Fantastica? You know what? All of Final Fantasy's music is amazing 😂😂. They're very, very fortunate to have sourced some phenomenal talent that many other companies wish were under their belt.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley everything Nobuo created was gold, in my opinion. Many other composers for later games also created amazing musical scores as well.
@@reiddutchess9955 I agree: Nobuo is one of my favorite composers of all time! Top 3, easy. Along with Joe Hisaishi and John Williams. (it's obvious I enjoy a good, fun, beautiful story with excellent music, isn't it?) :P
Just popped on UA-cam to kill some time and this (although I'm subscribed) was first on my reccomended :D Looking forward to watching, thanks for the video!
Minor note (and sorry for being a pronunciation freak), but "Hama-uzu" is read as it's written. "Hama", meaning "beach", is a fairly common element in Japanese surnames; I was gonna go and find a list of people who worked on FF7 and had names with "hama" in them, but I was lazy and just went to the English Wikipedia article, which only mentions one: Shirō Hamaguchi was apparently the arranger for the 2003 piano album.
To me, Hamauzu will always be the composer of SaGa Frontier games. Those were great. What he composed for Final Fantasy, on the other hand, I like way less.
I love (almost) all things FF! Were the clips in this video from the International version? I swear I played FFVII, but I don't remember that content. I thought the composer and singer getting married was awesome. I thought the tidbit about Tose was amazing! I always thought they were bought specifically to expand the team. I never even knew that they were so integral in previous CG and gameplay!
What is the source for the development and staff employment figures for the presented FF games listed in this video? It just looks like an excel doc but I'm interested so someone please let me know.
I also feel insulted that they thought we needed an easy mode lol. Did they forget that Ultima and Wizardry, two of the hardest RPGs like ever, came from the US?
I've had Another Eden on my phone since release and kept getting busy with something else. I've started about 5 times this chrono cross expansion has me finally playing since you have to get to chapter 13 to play the chrono cross story, I like the game so far just finished chapter 6 and the first part of Persona 5 story.
Chrono Cross I can agree on, since the primitive 3D is kind of a mess, but for Chrono Trigger I think they just need to stop doing stuff like messing up the text boxes for their re-releases.
I don't know if this is Mandela effect type of thing, but I seriously remember my copy containing 4 discs. I got it second hand from a game shop (the ones who sold second hand games and pokémon cards) so may have been international version? Unless the UK did get that type. Also this music makes me so sad. I miss going through this game for the first time ever. That was the best feeling I've ever had apart from when my children were born.
I remember getting this for PC when it was released...just to get stuck at the train graveyard because the game would crash right as soon as you climbed up from the sewers and moved a few steps forward 😅. Had to wait for a patch release to fix it.
If it wasn’t for FF7, I’d probably still be playing Super Mario. It was like the only reason I even wanted to get a PlayStation, and then I found out all the other rpg’s available through the PS later on.
Anyone who’s obsessed with ff7, should check out the midgar minute podcast. No I’m not a part of it so it isn’t a shameless plug. They go through and break down chapter by chapter all the games in the lore, they’ve done remake, dirge, crisis core , advent children and are currently in the midst of before crisis
I'm glad younger gamers never experienced the annoying 80s n 90s PC gaming era where there were so many soundcards which was such a crap shoot if some games barely played any sound at all. But those who were very tech savy can find or make unique sound card like software to make games sound better or cursed from their original midi versions.
I wish first soldier wouldn't have just disappeared I absolutely loved it... I remember the last thing I heard was about the 10,000 tournament... Then it just poofed

It might be time for my annual replay of FF7.....
I was thinking that all last week but went for FFT on my emulator to switch it up a bit
@@franimal86 Great choice as well, but I've already done my play through of FFT this year haha.
Emulators are always great, I got my Vita though.
Are you playing the Ps1 version or the PsP?
Im litterally obsessed with anything final fantasy 7 related
I'm right there with you
Make it three fellas
Me too!
We're all now brothers
Yeah I like the ff7 world alot. It's too hype with how much the world has been built up
I always love these "Facts about" and "Complete evolution of" videos! Keep em coming!
Yeah, definitely my favorite types as well!
Except for having to watch 30 seconds of ads
And even when it’s a “sponsored video”
@@lastclassairman
You can always just skip forward though.

Sephiroth's theme is one of the coolest theme for a villain that they made it just literally sings him haha
Ff7 the gift that keeps on giving
I also played FF7 for the first million times on pc only. Playing through it for the first time on PS1 was definitely an experience. As great as the Original soundtrack is...I do sometimes listen to those old midi soundtracks for the nostalgia.

It's almost impossible to play on the PS4 version, you keep accidentally skipping options in menus and clicking the wrong thing
@Dawn Razor Menu's updating at 60fps have much MUCH lower input lag than menu's updating at 15fps, imaging trying to navigate Windows but every time you try to scroll to something it takes almost a full second to get there

4:05 "An orchestral version of Jimi Hendrix's 'Purple Haze'"?
Sir, you have my full attention!
There’s also the Alexander summon materia, which is the only way to deal holy damage afaik
True.
With added effect or elemental? I never know the difference
@@jeremybrandt5779 With Elemental. Added effect is to either inflict or protect against status effects, like Poison or Sleep.
Hamauzu is also the main composer for the music in Dirge of Cerberus.
i still really want to know about Sephiroths backstory, like his childhood, how he grew up, who trained him, where did the Masamune come from.
Look up the Final Fantasy Crisis Core storyline. It is fairly detailed, and a great story that dives into Zach, Sephiroth, Hojo, Vincent, Lucretzia, and Aeris.
Did You Know? FF7 Integrade's long awaited PC port comes out on Thursday and the gaming public got collective blue materia when we realized it was an EGS exclusive.
Wish it was Christmas morning 1997 again, getting this again for the first time
You should note that FFVII on PC came with four discs in Europe. There was the installation disc too. :D
America, as well. Really the only thing different on the disks themselves, were the FMVs.
FF7 came with 4 discs in the UK - Disc 4 came with the FF8 trailer
Video starts at 3:03
Geeze you had the "Angermax" limit break by the time you got to Airbuster? You must've grinded a ton.
Fun Fact:

Anybody look at the title and was like “Challenge Accepted.” 😂
Let's choco-go! 👀
Awesome timing.. I’m about to go to a FF7 remake symphony concert
enjoy
Have a great day
Lucky! Enjoy that
Don't forget though (point 4)... that Holy COULD still be inflicted, but only through the summoning of Alexander.
You can link it with elemental to have holy attacks

One thing we all know is no matter how flashy it is the remake will never touch the original
I hope it does. Different but just as good
4:37
For a moment I thought my mind's playing tricks on me.
Just popped on UA-cam to kill some time and this (although I'm subscribed) was first on my reccomended :D Looking forward to watching, thanks for the video!

Hamauzu didn't only do XIII and VIIR, he also contributed to X, though Uematsu was still lead composer.
And the entire Final Fantasy XIII trilogy
To me, Hamauzu will always be the composer of SaGa Frontier games. Those were great. What he composed for Final Fantasy, on the other hand, I like way less.
Now, now. You forgot, as far as games with Earth Crystals are concerned: Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. The first crystal is the Earth Crystal.

So is KotR’s 13 attacks related to the 13 directors?? I never understood why 13 cuz according to legend, there were maybe 12 to 25 to 150??
11:59 they had also plans to revive Aeris on the PC version.
I also feel insulted that they thought we needed an easy mode lol. Did they forget that Ultima and Wizardry, two of the hardest RPGs like ever, came from the US?
Its also the reason we got mystic quest as well. Funny enough mystic quest was my first final fantasy game.
am I hallucinating, or was the theme for the ice fields/icicle town based on Blue Danube?
What is the name of the background music for the 2nd half of the video? Where did you get this variation for the song those who fight?
I came over to this video from the notification while playing ANOTHER EDEN haha, and then the intro.
Wish you'd put the Kickstarter ad at the start of the video, i saw it at the end of the 23 minute video and missed the deadline by 13 minutes =P
I must find that 4th disc, where to start?
Yeah! More FF VII stuff!
This!
I remember cringing when the battle finale music played on PC, it was the holy grail of "do not mess with this."
The ever so faint sound of a Discord notification at 4:37
How did Claud have the hardedge when he jumped off da train? Amazazing
Been enjoying The First Soldier on my android. Its a good FF7 fix, if anyone hasn't tried it yet xD
Not big on battle royal games but I couldn’t resist
This game is still a gem!!! Great video you guys!! I always love these!!
Using regular ol Ramuh on a M. Tonberry.? Epic!
Didn't know about that fourth disc, that was interesting.
Your sponsor link isn't working
4:55 is that emet selch I see?
19:12 song name pleasee!!!!!!!!!!! omggggggggg
I didn't know about the fourth disc...
Is your kickstarter closed? If so then why link it in a video released today?

Lame as fuck
Chrono Trigger/Cross REALLY need a remake... Seeing them with modern graphics !
Chrono Cross I can agree on, since the primitive 3D is kind of a mess, but for Chrono Trigger I think they just need to stop doing stuff like messing up the text boxes for their re-releases.
Cant believe I missed out on the kickstarter project.
Haaa just learned about the kickstarter and i'm 1 day to late 😢
Is there another way to get in ?
damn I love the Chrono series it always sucked in my mind that the Chrono world hasn't continued to be expanded.
Modern square would screw it
@LeBron Omar FF7R is turning out to be a decade long mess
I don't know if this is Mandela effect type of thing, but I seriously remember my copy containing 4 discs.

What do u think of Sleepizi's take on FF7 remake story and direction? Have you watched it?

Ah darn. I missed the Kickstarter. Will the book be available for non backers eventually?
Oh! Could you do a history of ff7 speedrunning?
Another Eden was actually pretty good for a mobile game, I didn't know it was on Steam.
I have the platinum version of FF7 ps1 and It came with 4 disc's, but the 4th was just a trailer for FF8
I knew some of this, but not all of it, thanks for the information ;3
This was great. Hope we get one of these about Final Fantasy X or X-2 next!
How do these companies keep LOSING source code? That literally should be IMPOSSIBLE lmao!
