And thank you Square for putting tireless effort into what looks like a dream come true. This is a rare kind of happiness.

Max I don’t know if you’ll ever read this or not, but I’d like to say that your passion and expression of said passion for video games has had an incredible impact on me ever since I found your channel. I didn’t play fighting games, and I still don’t regularly but I wouldn’t have touched a fighting if it were not for your videos covering all things fighting and Capcom. Similarly with JRPG’s and other Japanese games I would probably never have broken into that community had I not been infected by your sheer love for this shit. And more recently with FF7 , I had always known of FF7 and the final fantasy games, I had seen play through of 7 and 10 and 13 but had never played any of them. But after watching your enthusiasm for the game over the years and going back to watch playthroughs of the game as well as buying the game on ps4 to play through myself , I can say I’ve found myself greatly emotionally invested in the story characters and making of FF7. And presently I’ve just pre-ordered FF7 remake on my PS4 and can’t wait to play it. So for truly and fully filling my heart with a newer greater love for all things video game, I’d like to say from the bottom of my heart: Thank you dude, thank you.

I was born in 2000, so i just barely missed the FF7 hype growing up, and I never got to play it because I didn't have a Playstation or an emulator. I felt like I wasn't allowed to be excited for the remake because of that, and people were telling me I shouldn't get to enjoy it as much because I didn't grow up with the original. But I've been following max and his FF7 story since 2014, and have since been able to play the original because I have a PS4. His passion and love for this game and story is so contagious, and I feel like I have a connection to it all now thanks to him

It honestly makes me angry when people talk about it just being a money grab because you have to be an idiot to not recognise the passion and love that went into making it.

"What the hell is up with this keyart" "Time is not moving in a Linear fashion anymore" Max unconciously predicting the end of Remake part 1 lol

whenever i get down or awaiting news on rebirth, i always come and watch this particular vid, always cheers me up =)

FFS Max, you tearing up talking about the development team watching your reaction video always makes me tear up. I'm looking forward to seeing you play a game you've been waiting actual years for, its here Max. It's finally here! LET'S GO!

@Adam Thompson it's literally an alternate timeline that acknowledges that the original already happened "the first time around". The entire storyline is predicated on changing the destiny of the characters and world from their original timeline. That means the story doesn't exist without the original's - it's a sequel.

He should remake this video when the entire trilogy has reached its conclusion.

When the quarantine is over, go find you someone who loves you like Max loves FF7.

Time certainly does fly. I remember watching Max’s reaction to the official announcement live. I definitely shared the hype. What a crazy event! The main theme of FFVII over this video gives me chills. I can already tell this is a video I’m going to look back on fondly in the years to come.

Max has always been my go to comfort channel. Watching the purest reaction of him gives me the best goosebumps and brings out the childhood memory of myself playing FF7 for the first time. Thank you Max for the 100% purest OG gamer reaction ever.❤

Final Fantasy VII Remake Eve today! The big day tomorrow

Whenever I'm feeling lonely I come back to this video. As well as the Smash reveal of Cloud.

Can't believe I was there with the chat in every moment throughout these 5 years, here's to y'all my friends

honestly the whole time watching this i have a giant grin on my face. remembering all the great time with this game and the anticipation of the remake. I'm so stoked for this game. MAX thanks for being an awesome dood and keeping us up to date with everything. watching you get so excited made me love this channel more and more cause of your passion, honesty and hype for all the things you love. cant wait for you to play thru this game and i can literally be their with you experiencing twice.

Awesome, can’t wait, lost my old man waiting for this, he made me a big wooden buster sword when I was a kid, keep up the good work dood!

that story about the developers showing the staff reactions from the first trailer was really cool

@41tinman41

That's how you know how down-to-Earth the devs were to show Max's reaction to the reveals and to say that his enthusiasm for the game gave the staff energy. It's a back-and-forth between game maker and player, a cycle of positivity and feedback. It's what videogames are supposed to make devs and players feel. I thoroughly enjoyed Max's reaction to not just the reveal and the game itself.

These reactions were so me when I found out this was announced. My husband sent me the kotaku article covering e3 after the announcement and I was at work shouting in my office. This is my all time favorite game and part 1 of the remake did not disappoint.

My absolute favorite game ever. Got me through hard times as a kid when it was literally all I had to distract me from the unfortunate things happening around me. I'm in my 30's shedding nostalgia tears because of this video. Thank you for sharing your hype, and love with the rest of us.

Same dude... Sounds very similar to my experience. I keep checking my phone looking at the tracker waiting for it to arrive. I have no idea what I'm going to feel or react when I have it in my hands, but THIS game, THIS experience is SOOOOO much bigger than "video games".

Got me through a lot of domestic abuse as a kid. It’s more than just a game to some of us.

This video literally made me cry when the announcement part was shown. This was all my excitement and pain. My love for Final Fantasy 7 has no bounds.

Anytime I feel Rebirth is too far away, I watch this video and remind myself, it'll feel so good when we get to play it in about a month from now and how we've been waiting since 2005 for this to become a reality from what once was a dream when I was a young kid. Thanks Max!

That story about the team looking at his videos for motivation is justice porn. It gives payoff to the bottomless passion that Maximilian Dood has for FF7 in the best possible way. It is literally manifesting greatness into existance by merely hoping and wishing for it.

mLarv And there’s no brakes on this AVALANCHE Train.

It's crazy to know that fan's reaction and love for this actually spurred on the development team.

This just popped up on my feed again and what a journey and the "unknown" is still yet to come in about a week

Watching this literally less than 24 hours before Rebirth comes out. Man it sure has been one hell of a journey so far. I didn’t grow up playing FF7 but Max very quickly made it a big part of my life and I don’t regret a single moment going down this rabbit hole 🙂

That developer story is great at bringing the feels. I still can't believe that this game is finally here. Somebody pinch me please.

That smile, that damn smile is so infectious I’m happy for a game to come out that he’s so excited to have a remake for. I never played FF7 but I know that look of pure joy and happiness that he had when about this game.

So this has got to be one of the best FF7 related videos in existence. The emotions that this piece of work invokes is incredible. Love your channel Max, thanks for everything that you do.

God man I'm getting so emotion rn from this video we are getting rebirth in 19 days and counting it's crazy how far we've come man I cant wait to play man😭

This is the first vid I watched from Max ever since I played FF7R. Never played the original but loved it. This game made me passionate about gaming again. Played and finished countless games after FF7R like Bloodborne, (which has now made me a souls fan) KH, DMC, FF15 and tons of games in my backlog waiting to be played. Going to the play the original in the future but me discovering this channel has been the best thing so far this year. ❤️

I fucking cried! the passion around this game is just so beautiful and the little bit about the developers watching your vid to inspire them. I hope part 2 is amazing

Anyone here after the announcement of Part 2? Holy Balls i'm stoked!

Max’s journey and playthrough of the ff7 remake trilogy means more to me than my own and i even have remake in my 10 favourite games of all time. His genuine joy is just super infectious.

6:27 - And it worked man... I mean, I simply clicked on this video to get a pick-me-up from Max's reaction to the first ever announcement of the Remake. I always get goosebumps and it makes me smile so hard, it's like the same feeling you get surprising someone with a gift they've always wanted. Also, when everyone was shitting on the ending of FF7R (myself included) I awaited for Max's reaction to that on Twitch as he played the ending for the first time, I was waiting for him to join us with the misery of disappointment, but he ended up reacting to it so positively and his theories blew my mind so much, that it got me hyped and excited for it all over again! Made me realise it's ok to let go and just enjoy the Remake for what it is, rather than pick at every flaw of what's missing from the OG FF7 experience. Max's love, energy and enthusiasm for this entire project has been the cherry on top for the Remake experience. Thank you Max!

The Final Game... *Chef's Kiss*

3:15 Who Would Ever Know Max Predicted The Year FF7 Remake Drop 😳🤯

4:03 That face always gets me. The sheer excitement over the span of 1 second is amazing.

I started my rpg/jrpg journey in 87 with Phantasy star and have been hooked on those type of games ever since. When FF7 came out in 97 i thought i was going to have fun just like i did with countless rpgs that i played before that. I did more than just "have fun" i was floored, i was shocked, i was blown away, yes i was never quite the same after that. Sure i have played countless rpgs/jrpgs since then but no game and i mean no game has given me the same emotional ride like FF7. UNTIL i played the FF7 remake. Now if only they will finnish the rest of the story before i die...i just want to die happy.

Who's here 2023,i just watched this and started crying bruh😂

Now this, this does put a smile on my face.
