I think the combat is fun enough, but if you didn't like Remake's combat I don't see Rebirth changing that sentiment. P.S.

Frankly speaking, the moment you introduce multiverse theory and time travel into any franchise is the moment you have to realize the current directors and writers are 99.9% of the time going to massively fuck it up. These people can't even comprehend just how bloody painful and insanity inducing it is to try to explain that you cannot have a multiverse, time travel and a concept of destiny in one bloody place! If the multiverse exists then destiny is always whatever transpires within that set timeline and anything can happen thus the planet reacting to any "deviations" makes no sense. If there is no multiverse then Sephiroth's time travel shenanigans are doomed to fail as he cannot meddle with the creation of the current him without being trapped in an infinite loop of trying to alter his own fate. This is the same problem I have with bioshock infinite's BS ending....the writers forgot a basic principle. We are the sum of our past...change anything and we ourselves change as a person. If those changes to ourselves contradict the desire to go to the past in the first place it resets everything back to the original set of events that transpired in the first place. In short welcome to time travel purgatory...it's not your first time here but you sure as hell won't know that. At least...this is just my perception on it.

@Caio Coelho Remake and reimagination are NOT the same thing. The only way both FF7 and the remake can "co-exist" is if they continue the ORIGINAL story in it's own game. Until then, the original is still just the original game that released in the 90's. And the remake is seen as "FF7 but modern" which it isn't. I wonder how many new gamers are going to think this is how it always was because they never got to see the original FF7. This is a cluster-fuck of KH-esque timeline fuckery and unnecessary changes. If we give them a pass on these changes, it's only a matter of time before FF7 becomes unrecognizable.

Can you imagine a world where a Mario Kart Remake is a multiplayer FPS and no one objects to it?! You probably can't but you can imagine a world where FF7 remake is a third person action game and no one object to it though... FF7 Remake is probably the stupidest thing I've seen in gaming in my life, and I'm already 36 years old...

I'm so happy to be able to say that I'm old enough to have experienced final fantasy seven in its purest form before all this nonsense. This video hit the nail right on the head. It very well sums up my feelings surrounding this" remake" I've got into so many debates about these games. If you play this game and enjoy it, good for you. I'm honestly shocked at how many OG fans profess that they believe that the remake is the greatest thing they've ever seen. Some would even say better than the original. It makes me wonder how many OG fans are really out there. How many people are saying that they are OG Fans but have never REALLY played the original game. The reason I say that is because if you had played the original game and recieved the incredible experience and feelings of emotions from the game like I did, It seems to me that you would not so frivolously invite, accept, and welcome this non cannon, fan fiction BS into the final fantasy VII universe. For me, I do not acknowledge final fantasy 7 remake or rebirth as cannon. They are just fan fiction. I feel very fortunate to be able to say that I'm old enough to have played final fantasy 7 in it's purest form before all this nonsense and that I got to experience that journey. That experience is irreplaceable. But if you enjoy them please have fun.

I'm fearful if this is what Tetsuya Nomura is able to do now a days if Versus XIII would of been worse than XV if we got his version..

I'm late to the party, but thank you. The like to dislike ratio is skewed because of the modern day faithful to this convoluted franchise who look up message boards and videos going against their beliefs. They think opinions like ours will ruin the franchise when it is in fact the opposite. Part 2 will sell less, and even less with part 3.

So fascinating. I am not a Final Fantasy player but I have been looking into the series after playing other Square Enix games like Dragon Quest 11 and NieR Automata and man, I gotta feel for you guys. I've had some issues with storytelling and gameplay decisions in a lot of games, like story explanations in Xenoblade 3 being locked behind the DLC and games avoiding harsh subjects, but man, the one thing I HATE is when remakes or remasters fundamentally change parts of an original work. I don't have any problem with non-intrusive additions, but you don't do whatever they just did with FF7 Remake, is it so hard to have a story exist independently of anything else and be stand alone?

Yes, it was Sakaguichi that made FF good. The minute he left, it's been downhill. The last really good one was 10, which released on the PS2. Square has so many people in the wrong position and Nomura is exactly that. The only thing he's good at is drawing. That's it. He should have never gone beyond lead character designer. Every project he's worked on has been a disappointment. FF15, Kingdom Hearts 3, FF7 Remake. How he still has a job is beyond me.

I like most of the silly stuff in Rebirth. The in town NPC dialogue is the most inconsistent mirroring their lazier copy paste ugly designs, but I think the humor scales upward with the main cast and dedicated side characters being pretty good most of the time. I disagree the writing is bad because a lot of it builds off a subtle detail from earlier in the game or even Remake.

@interdimensionalharmony

Ай бұрын

Some of the serious stuff can actually be the problem for me with Rebirth's writing because I find it executed more poorly than the humor. An example being escaping Kalm where I feel the level design needed to be more tight and have your characters animate peering around corners or something along those lines because it definitely feels like those Shinra security officers are blind. Conversely, the 7th infantry unit in Junon is fine with me for that part of the game because it makes sense to me that you would have to be around incompetent security forces for everything that is happening story wise to work. So with the two biggest moments in the game involving the security officers, I felt the humorous one was the better written scenario.

I'll say this, the nomura fanboys are just too much at this point, but...kingdom hearts 1 as a stand alone project was a beast of a game with severely underated themes. The game held a deeper meaning than most people and fans alike cared to acknowledge, it's a shame really so much so that the later titles were never meant to exist, it was meant to be a one and done package. Like the Bible of video games, and biblical themes were littered throughout the project just like many other final fantasy projects. With it's success came forced sequels and poorly written stories because well, he accomplished the tale he chose to tell with that first title. Just like versus 13, that title was meant to be very much political like ff8 but more so. "A fantasy based on reality" hmm. Nomuras story telling could be a storm nobodys ready for but, isnt allowed to tell those stories by the corporate suits .past final fantasys and RPGs in squares arsenal were driven by deep political beliefs and religious or worldy veiws. But people hardly ever pick up on them. Go back and play some past titles and you'll see them scattered everywhere. Play ff15,kh2,3 and other recent enix titles and they're sparse. There's no soul in these current RPGs thus no driving force to tell deeply woven tales

FF7 original key themes: Human nature, the importance of human connection/interaction, nature and the treatment of nature by corporations ETC. you get the idea, decently normal themes, but very strong ones that hit the emotions hard and leave the player with a message. FF7 remake themes: The original ones + Fate, Timetravel bs, Sephiroph every-fucking-where, Tetsuya Nomura devil-magic, BS kingdom hearts convoluted ending and implications. This is a joke comment but seriously everything good in the remake is from the original, the combat is good but the ending and episodic-style gameplan for money ruin it, an it makes sephirophs character annoying

It's not just the remake that completely destroyed the themes of the original. Crisis core did that a lot too, especially regarding freedom, honour, and heroism. Almost none of those words are ever defined and just stay as nebulous ideals to motivate Zack. But what is freedom? In the OG, it's the freedom to choose what gives your life *meaning*. The original cast of FF7 (including Zack) follow this theme. Zack chose to save Cloud despite the lack of glory or honour that would be presented to him in return. But in CC it's just "wings and the sky" and "the freedom to move around and do what you want". I just hate how it's poisoned the fandom. It just feels so surface-level that talking about normal literary themes starts to sound pretentious.

Oh my.. how mad are you boy?

Here's the thing.... Nomura himself is a Nightmare in human skin. I'm terrified of seeing his name as a director. The fighting system is absolutely fantastic. And I LOVE. Crossdressing cloud. But...This game...There's so many problems that make this scary. 1) This game's gameplay is shockingly dated. The gameplay is also incredibly Illogical compared to FF15. (Cloud can superman jump in cutscenes but can't climb over a container? The fuck? Noctis can Jump...so it can be done...so wtf...) 2) Nomura is a nightmare writer...He wrote that literary nightmare that is FF15 and he wrote ALL of KH. That incredible insanity that is KS's plot. And at the end he gave himself the liscense to literally turn the remake into a reboot. It's not a remake. He literally wrote the characters murdering the literal "Enforcers of Continuity" so that he can do whatever he wants with the game. And that is genuinely terrifying. 3) Now that the continuity of FF7 has literally ended, We could be seeing anywhere between 3 to 10 FF7 Episodes...and that's hilariously not an hyperbole. If you know his KH work, you know he can take FF7 and run straight to hell with it and no one can honestly say he wouldn't do it. 4) I love how he fleshed out the characters, but...the problem is, it was marketed as a remake...not a reboot. A reboot is taking the look and feel of a game, and rebuilding the story line and even adding or removing characters on top of modernizing it. A remake, Takes past content, and modernizes it. Sure EP1 Is a 75% remake...but everything else is a reboot. FF7 Remake, ISN'T bad...but it's terrifying...because now that "The Arbitor of Fate" is dead. It's the wild west and Nomura's got a gun...and none of us are safe... If...and IF...he is capable of learning from his past works...FF7R...COULD be amazing...but it could also be total garbage. also, Hey Y2Ber guy. He looks feminine cause of that flipping canon crossdressing scene. If he doesn't look feminine enough, how is the Don supposed to believe cloud is a girl = 3= Ofc he's a pretty boy. It's not really hard to make a bunch of blocks look pretty other than giving it a pretty dress and extensions. That doesn't fly when you're rocking more than 5,000 pixels per character model = 3=

The genre called "Bara" is very popular in Japan and it is made by Gay men and the theming and art is all masculine in tone and stone while Yaoi tends to be made by women and follows how a lot of women in Japan tend to like softer and feminine-like guys (look at the popularity of J-Pop & K-Pop Boy bands for example). So it really gets annoying how some people (usually Americans from what I notice) get all bent out of shape and think it's gay when a male character is not hyper masculine when the irony is that masculinity is something that a lot of gay men like.

the worst thing about this whole mess is given the universal adulation of the game from people that have no idea what they are talking about you can feel the pressure to like the thing that your body is rejecting like a virus. a sort of self gaslighting occurs where you think perhaps im just not seeing what these others are seeing. but the differences in the fan base are stark. modern fans want to date tifa and draw fan fiction of her. i just wanted to see her get trained by zangan and recover from the damage the past wouldve done to her. modern fans want to see jesse flirt with cloud. real fans enjoyed the justification of her joining avalanche. there is room for a remake. but not by the people currently there at square enix

Little bit late to the party but everything you said is true. Wish more people saw this. Nomura's writing in KH was fine (haven't played KH3 yet) because your party literally consist of Donald Duck who somehow uses MAGIC and Goofy who fights with a SHIELD. So already, all sense and expectation of reality is pre-subverted. But when you bring this hack into the environment of an established and beloved storyline with serious tones and carefully crafted relationships, and completely veto it to interject your own fan fiction while having the audacity to simply title the game "Final Fantasy VII Remake", it is incredibly disingenuous and frankly a scam. But people love the pretty graphics and the 4 action packed cutscenes so whatever right.

Go check out Creative Business Unit 3, the makers of FFXIV. It's the most "Final Fantasy" since X, which was the last true final fantasy game (not counting XI.)

Nomura is more of a visionary then a story teller, he started as a character designer but overtime he became a director starting with Advent Children and then Kingdom Hearts. And here the problem his style never changed, he knows how to make cool looking scene and set pieces. He not a writer he has ideas that works on a visual standpoint his first idea on a Final Fantasy was VersusXiii which turned to FFXV however it was considered too dark because the original plot was about a kingdom Yakuza style death worshippers hence why it was heavily censored and altered because Square didn't want to make two verison of the game one internationally and one for China. And don't get me started on Kingdom Hearts on how Nomura basically decided get creative controll because the original writer left after Kh2.

I was so excited for this remake and then i encontered those freaking ghosts of midgars christmas past 😣 ,they had goldmine of a story to work with and they made some of the most stupid choices imaginable with it 😑

There are some things I forgot to say in my first reply (essentially, additional thoughts on this video), but screw it; I’m gonna say the rest of it here and now, just because I can I don’t buy their excuse to make it episodic, because there are games that are actually over 200GB worth of File Size with no strings attached, and FFXIV, which actually has a far bigger world than Remake’s Midgar, is comfortably standing between 40 and 60GB, depending on the platform, so they could’ve done the full package easily with their own tools... but if they insisted on keeping it episodic, a “Remake”, and having Part 1 be Midgar-only, they should’ve allowed us to explore *all* of Midgar, not just re-imagined versions of original locations. Aside from the mistakes within the game, I liked how they redid some moments from the original (changed Cloud dressing up as a girl to a dance session, followed by a bunch of Honeybees dressing him up as a girl afterwards, or maybe the fact that Rufus is now hella tough to beat, or a few more changes), and I thought many of the voice actors nailed and/or brought new life into select roles- especially John Eric Bentley’s portrayal of Barret- and I did think that, despite complaints on the episodic nature, they did surprisingly well with further fleshing out characters and locations (I know because I see a lot more Jessie fanart than ever before), even if I wish they actually kept it faithful to the original... and of course, the soundtrack will never not be phenomenal. Despite the long list of negatives (more on that in a bit), I actually found that there was more positives than negatives overall. Even though it has some positives, I will not hide the overwhelming negatives either... and trust me: there are far more than what the video listed. If you’re okay with more spoilers, let me list the additional mistakes one-by-one: 1. I kid you not, Sephiroth appears once every 1-3 cutscene(s) to haunt Cloud just because he can, and it reaches a point where he gets more screentime than half of all other characters 2. We got a new character named Roche who is quite literally an anime maniac with a Red Bull-infused motorcycle, and that’s all there is to his character 3. Despite the Plot Ghosts trying to keep everything like the original, they (and the writers) forget about some things, such as letting Wedge live... until they throw him out a window near the end to kill him for real 4. Near the end, Sephiroth actually kills Barret, then the plot ghosts revive him not 5 seconds later... by the way, that’s my personal non-favourite of all the mistakes 5. Before the ending, you fight a giant purple monster made up of the plot ghosts, and then after beating them, you fight Sephiroth almost exactly how you would in Advent Children 6. And of course... any form of subtlety in whatever foreshadowing we got to Aerith’s death in the original is now painfully on-the-nose in a way that makes it appear like they can’t decide whether they want to hide it or not 7. Worst of all, the ending sends the gang to an alternate universe Either way, against all odds, I might still buy this game if it comes to PC due to my nerdy desire for a Cloud Power Fantasy... but as sad as it is to say, that’s all it has going for it.

Returning back to this (because it's a great video to listen to and you should do more) your remark on Cloud's appearance is very striking to me because it is one I immediately think of and try to make to others. A pre-internet masculinity of being more stoic with the eyes telling the story in an almost telepathic manner. His chin is pointy in a feminine way and other features. It's hard to explain be he just doesn't have that molded SOLDIER look to him in a world as harsh as his. It's all very contemporary (his look and demeanor) even though being tough is an eternal physical and mental being which just furthers makes it clear it's for new fans and people are aren't aware of more older/eternal ideals. I miss the ambience/ether of pre-internet life where you could almost read the atmosphere instantly between people and they understood your role. Sephiroth is meant to be a top man amongst men but he just looks dorky and sad. Real shame because the game and characters I just mentioned have been phenomenal through my younger days and had the potential to be even greater with the advent of technology that the PS4 offers. Perhaps, Sakaguchi's absence has pained it's development but also the people on our side of the world are probably too tainted to even understand the purity of what we are wanting.

Any video that talks about how Nomura isn’t much of a director much less a story teller barely gets ten thousand views.. yet if a video is made praising him and calling him a ‘genius’ then it gets one hundred thousand or more.. no questions asked by the unbelievably brainwashed fanbase who will tear you to shreds for pointing out EVERYTHING wrong with his non-existent talent and ruined games!

I hate it I hate it so much very annoying when a franchise forces time travel bullshit Completely ruins the plot I finished the game and went from angry to sad to Afraid The dialgoue was cringy The horny internet have boners on stupid fan service and devs listen to them The game feels like fan fiction The ending the Nomura pixie happy dust What's going on???? Arieth gonna survive now? To this point I just want the whole project to be canceled and erase this entry from existence

Square hasn't made a good Final Fantasy game since FF10 and we all know it's true.

I have only played FF X and FF XII Time to play the old FF games 💪

I’m replaying 9 right now on PC with the amazing Moguri mod which upscales the entire game in widescreen with remastered backgrounds, highly recommended

I just finished this the other night. The member berries are on point but we got gyped into accepting a tiny portion of the experience. It's basically a playable ff7 movie with collectables.

Do you have a post play through review? You were pretty spot on with everything you said. I’d love to hear your thoughts after actually having to sit through KH4... I mean FF7R.

Crabs in a bucket

I think it’s actually Hideo Kojima.

You really echo everything I felt leading up to and after this game's release.

Nomura is the biggest hack? Just so you know the Kult of Kojima follows the world's biggest hack and think he's a genius.

The only person whos keeping SE alive is Yoshi P and the XIV dev team

I feel similarly about Nomura, but I have to disagree with the title to this video. Shigeru Miyamoto is the biggest hack in the games industry by a long shot.

@@jahithber1430 I think Nomura is still capable of making good games because Square Enix is smart enough not to allow him complete control over the creative direction of their company. Since the restructuring Miyamoto is now essentially an executive producer for any Nintendo-owned IP that he feels like poking his head in on and I imagine that’s why most of them have become so stale.

One theory I've come up with recently is that nomura is throwing a shit fit on a massive scale because he got kicked off Final Fantasy Versus 13, which became FF15. He's pissed at the very concept of Final Fantasy, so he's intentionally destroying Final Fantasy 7's chance at a remake [unless the episodic mobile game counts lol], as well as totally derailing his own project, Kingdom Hearts, by eradicating any presence of Final Fantasy in KHIII and seemingly forcing a barely changed version of his FFV13 story into that universe. Like KH is weird but the Yozora stuff introduced in III is totally out of KH's established feel. Hell, one of Yozora's cutscenes is an almost shot-for-shot recreation of that FFV13 trailer with Noctis in the back seat of the car looking edgy and angsty. And if you've seen the teaser stuff for KH IV, oh dear God, they've TOTALLY changed the art style and now it's going for photorealism same as Final Fantasy. He's just being a child.

Yep I've been saying Nomura was a great character designer but my god he sucks as a writer and director. I passed on FF7R cause it's built on false advertisment and undeserved hype. I mean Nomura made it more Kingdom Heartish with the ghosts. Screw this game and I say that as a superfan who played FF1-15. BTW FF14 shits on FF7R

Have you played new threat? It's a mod for rhe original FF7 that changes some of the plot points a bit, for example the cross dressing scene is gone, you can skip some of the really long story segments etc..., and I think it's fucking amazing, because it is a fresh take but keeps the original core story in tact and is respectful to the original. The point being that I wouldn't have been angry about ff7r if they had at least kept the core story in tact, but they didn't. It's not as though they just cut a couple of scenes here and there, or just added more, they straight up changed fundamentally what the plot is actually about... This is not final fantasy 7, it is a bad fan fiction and I am so fucking sad to see how they butchered probably the greatest gaming experience ever produced. I will stick to just playing a heavily moded original ff7, the new week shit and the new shitty fans that got on board with KH and ff13 can honestly go fuck themselves. FF was a legacy, a true juggernaut of gaming ruined by pandering to weebs that think another variation of "emo time traveling with parallel universes" is good story telling. They have given square-enix a licence to butcher their back catalogue and destroy its own legacy. It's so depressing, I waited 20 fucking years for this.

A much better remake of a much better game is getting released on May 29th. Save your money, peeps.

@@PtolemySL At first I thought so too, but it's technically a remake. The graphics are completely remade using a new engine, the gameplay during combat is supposedly improved from the Wii version (which was already solid), and it features new compositions of old songs. While I can't vouch for how it fairs compared to the original, Xenoblade is my favourite game, and the remake looks to be a respectful improvement, so it's definitely worth checking out if you haven't before. Also the Panzer Dragoon remake apparently hasn't reviewed well in comparison to the original, so I'd be cautious about that one. Sucks that the original is so hard to get nowadays.

Just like mgs we are never gonna get a true remake for 20 years when most of the currant guys are gone and it’s a pure passion project

Nomura could take a shit, title it final fantasy 7 anything and square enix say "Canon"

these comments are fucking hilarious

You can separate Final Fantasy's quality from X onwards. Until X you got a right narritive in one package. After that it's BS.

I would definitely have to say: No matter how they end this, I can’t sell to my sons, why this consumed my childhood.

He always does this, I didn't even know the third birthday/parasite eve PSP was his fault till some time ago and it makes sense thinking now.

100% agree with everything you say. Nomura is insane

Couldn't agree more. An incredibly beautiful game with awesome game play has been tainted by the irreconcilable distortion of the brilliant original game. It makes me very sad.

5:21 This is where he actually starts talking about Nomura.

Please, play Rebirth. Your meltdown will be legendary!
