you're in for one hell of a ride! I fell in love with the game in 1997 and watching people discover it for the first time always warms my heart :)

The original FF7 is the best game ever made. This Remake is a real love letter for that game. I'm so happy it makes so many people join this world, but also it makes many play and love the original too!

No its Final Fantasy 6. Aeriths theme is heavely inspired by Celes. Sephiroth is not near on that level as Kefka. The whole One winged angel is inspired by Kefkas winged appearance. Aerith singing in Theatre? Ah yes thats the very conic Celes scene in Theatre singing again! And so on. 6 is THAT good of a game, that 7 had many inspiration of it! XD

Loving the playthrough so far! As someone that knows the game very well, watching her shoot the weak point at the back... while standing in front of it... was mildly frustrating... but I've done far stupider things while playing games so understandable lmao. Looking forward to the rest!

Strange Rebel Gaming killed the VA role for Aerith!!! Welcome to the fanbase of FF7 can't wait to see how you journey goes

yes, ATB is quite important. back then on original, it was even the only mechanic of doing all things. there was no "filler" actions while waiting for ATB going full (because OG FF7 was completely turn based, with option to play with either active ATB where enemies have their own real-time turns and don't wait for player's input, or passive ATB where enemies will wait their next turn indefinitely until the player issued a command on ATB-filled character), the other difference is, there was only one ATB on each character. Classic control mode lets the system do these filler actions automatically while giving the ATB parts being handled by players, is now the closest thing that made FF7R feels similar OG FF7. though FF7R now have more than 1 ATB charges per character, it's usually still better to consume one of them whenever they're available (unless for certain actions that benefit from consuming more, like Barret's Focused Shot, more ATB charges consumed = more damage and stagger). they're not supposed to be kept at 100% for too long, and they're not being carried over to the next battle session.

Well now, you're in for quite a journey. You just popped in my feed but I subscribed to follow along. Remake is a trilogy, which is both an actual remake and sleeping 5th entry into a compilation of prequels/sequels to the story of the original ff7. Welcome to your first journey into Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy as a whole. Every numbered entry is another world, another story, another adventure. A quick spoiler free primer... Midgar is a city-state, and the largest most advanced city in the world. It is run by a corporate government that through money and backdoor dealings, has taken control from thr Republic of Junon (the second largest most advanced city in the world, and the former capital of the nation). There is an entire world out there, but this first of three games focuses on the city-state of Midgar, which was built upon 8 towns, which became its 8 sectors. (There's actually 9 sectors, the headquarters is Sector 0). You start in sector 1, and during your escape in chapter 2 you will be in sector 8. When you open the menu there is a button to see a 3d map at any time to show where you are in the city as a whole. A note: keep track of expressions to catch what characters are thinking. This story runs several layers deep, with symbolism everywhere (a simple example, Barret and his glasses; with them on he puts up a front, with them off you get the teddy bear behind the act.). Anime style noises help to direct you to important expressions. Example at 17:07 "I should know this, why cant I remember? What would a cool person say?" Enjoy your journey.

Take your time with this one and explore your surroundings because they're chest and items. This game has great looking environments and 🎶 ✨️👏 . . . You're doing really good. 👍

That was also my first FF game and I had a blast. I'm sure you'll love it too no doubt.

you picked the best final fantasy to start with as difficulty curve is easy. It has great in game tutorials. The Story is just amazing too. I really pumped for Rebirth after wanting those Previews. Decided not to play the demo as its only 11 days to go. Also you can guard and counter with cloud in punisher mode on non red attacks it works wonders on riot shield enemys.

Glad I found you through Baldur’s Gate 3 …which I never finished but FF7 is favorite , and I loved Remake back in 2020. I would watching people experience Remake for the first time.

34:26 . She's so adorable. I love when she dance/bops around like that. 😊👏

Oh cool. I got into "Final Fantasy 7 Remake because of "Maximilian Dood and Strange Rebel Gaming KZread channels. It's his dream game. And Strange Rebel Gaming she is Aerith in the game. I have physical special edition on PS5. I'm waiting on "Rebirth. Very excited to experience this amazing wonderful game with you. 🌷

Paige love your videos!! You’ll love this game. It’s so good!❤❤❤ Gives all the feels. I’m currently replaying it myself. Hope you have fun and keep up the good work!

Jessie is voiced by Erika Lindbeck. At the beginning you mention Night City so you would know her as Misty in Cyberpunk 2077. She’s pretty prolific. She’s Magilou in Tales of Berseria, Cassie Cage in Mortal Kombat 11, and many more things. Tifa is Brit Baron, who was in GLOW on Netflix, Aerith is the streamer Strange Rebel Gaming. Biggs is Gideon Emery who is also prolific. Cloud is Cody Christianson who did some TV acting. Wedge and Barrett are also big actors. Meanwhile the girl in sector 7 slums who keeps track of your monster kill count is KZreadr Brizzy Voices, and KZreadr Arin Hanson (Game Grumps, EgoRaptor) does several minor Additional Voices. I have a love of Voice Actors and knowing their filmographies. Kind of a hobby.

Heeeeeey, welcome to the family! Hope you enjoy the game! We're bouncing off the walls, waiting for Rebirth.

interesting that she recognized Cloud from Smash Bros. but not Sephiroth, hope you enjoy the game, its one of the greats

37:14 . She didn't give a damn about that chest once she started fighting. 😂

Glad to have you on board the final fantasy train, or whatever you want to call it. Ff7 might be my favourite game ever, and I'm thrilled with how they caught the vibe in remake, which you'll see. Don't listen to people saying "you should play this" or whatever, the developers made this game in mind to be as appealing to brand new final fantasy gamers as well as the old ones. Remake is supposed to be many peoples first foray into the franchise, so it's all good, I've seen a couple of "well ackhtually"s in the comment section, ignore them. Enjoy my favourite game of all time.

I just finished playing the demo. Tip. Dodge a lot and get behind enemies. Straight on attacks. Maximilian Dood has videos you can watch to learn more on lore. I'm pretty you will grow to love it. 😉👍

Welcome to the emotional rollercoaster. Enjoy the ride 🙂

For the most part every Final Fantasy is its own standalone thing the only point of commonality that I can remember is that some enemies are shared by some of the games.

@Invalidationcoded

5 ай бұрын

they often share thematic elements. "summons" in the series are re-used quite often, but sometimes they vary, and other games don't have materia. "gil" is the common currency in pretty much all of them, as well as chocobos. oh and there's almost always a "Cid", that's a fun recurring character archetype

The best thing about Final Fantasy games is you can find one numbered game and just play those. VII has several games, movies and books associated with it’s universe. X is also a good one (and rumoured to take place in the same universe, which none of the others overlap at all). VII is by far the most beloved of them, as it was the first to move away from a medieval setting.

"why is he tripping out so much" OH BOY

I love this game so much

Hope you enjoy this

if you find time can you play FF16 after FF7 Remake and before Rebirth ?, it will be interesting to see your perspective as NEW PLAYER TO FF GAMES on the difference between the two games...

36:12 . Cloud can fight in the air too. Just move closer to your enemies. 👍

Bit late at this point but the weak point to shut off the shield was on the scorpions ass and u kept shooting it/hitting it from the front doing almost no damage or bouncing. Just for future reference if you ever replay the game.

With Cloud just keep attacking. And just spells and items when you needed. It's a quicker and more satisfying way to take down enemies. 👍

luckily all final fantasy games are in there own universe so they don't have anything to do with each other, final fantasy OG 7 was my second FF game and it still remains my fave of all and FF7 remake is a great recreation of the first section of the original, i was worried at first of making a 3 or so hour part of the original into a stand alone game but i was so happy with the result.

Use fire spells against humans, lighting spells vs machines, and aero/wind spells vs flying enemies. Little pro tip.

You should play the original final fantasy 7 when you get a chance. That way you can compare the original details over the new ones. A lot changes have been introduced into the remake.

Love seeing new people play this game... I still suggest playing the OG alongside this.. You will understand it more and will LOVE the OG game.. Doesnt take long on PS4/5 to complete.

You're gonna LOVE this FF7 Remake game believe me!😉😁 All you need to know about Cloud right now is that he's really a lost man who doesn't exactly have his priorities in order acting like this Ex-SOLDIER who's so rude closed off and hardly caring about anything but money.

Welcome to the addiction! Shoulda played the og first! But gotta start somewhere!

Combat help. Switch to normal classic if it gets stressful. You can still control or let them do their own thing. The characters automatically do the best environment strategies for boss fights, showing you what to do. Also let's you take a step back and learn the party system, command system, etc. Also, set the battle camera to zoom out more to make it easier to find environment changes, as each time the scorpion goes to use the laser more debris fell down, that you'd have to retreat to. Basically it's a "get away from me" move. Enemies take more damage from behind than in front. For the scorpion you had to ram your sword in its butt. More advanced help: earn ATB fastest by attacking. Leveling needs to be done but you'll get tutorials when it is time, and it's done to weapons for actual choices. The rest is done automatically but any time you get an "Orb of # materia" you should see if you can equip it. Different characters are better for different tasks. Better to dodge than block if you can. Better to use environment to tank than to have to dodge if possible.

You should also reeeeaaaaly play Final Fantasy IX (9); it's even better than 7. 😊

So you've decided to dip your toe into some Final Fantasy 7? You absolute weirdo, you insane person, psychopath, don't ever change. Dont know where you get the idea to jump into amazing games I've played, but keep it up, this is why I'm here. This world might be a little different from what a witch is used to; it's all industrial and machines, technology and magic fusion like He-Man, remember He-Man? It's like that. Also, don't rely too much on potions to heal, healing magic heals far more HP, but it has to be cast, leaving you open more than if you take a potion, it's a balancing act. But magic can level up, potions can't
