As a former dancer, when the later peeks at the game before release were shown, one of my first thoughts was that Cloud looked like a dancer to me. When that was later confirmed, it made me so happy. There's so many little things in stance and movement that you can instantly notice if you're overly familiar with them. Even spent a lot of time around the professional company that was in my city as I grew up

Over here in Japan, Suzuken X Maaya are like the power seiyuu couple and their voice hasn't really changed much since the time they were fan favourites as Zack and Aerith

I won't complain about the length of a FF soundtrack, they are epic.

I respect that Uematsu has the wisdom to know when to pass the torch. There will come a time when somebody has to step into his large shoes.

40kgs for a sword is massive! I'm a HEMA fencer, my two handed sword is about 3.5kgs, and it's a beast. I'll need to get on the MAKO obviously!

OMG, a chocobo race with Roche would be amazing, with him on a red chocobo.

Really enjoyed the fact he was based off a ballet dancer! Thank you for the content

13:23 You named the wrong Gundam Wing pilot. Treize did briefly pilot the Tallgeese II, but he wears blue throughout the entire series. The pilot typically associated with the Tallgeese suit that also wears red is Zechs, who was largely based on Char in appearance and story.

I finally got to play this thanks to it being free on PS Plus and boyyyyyyy was I in for a treat. Loved the game, wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. But everything from the combat, the modern take on the music, the voice actor performances, the introduction of novel characters, and even the big WTF twist at the end just had me so excited for what's to come. Currently doing Yuffie's DLC and it's also a ton of fun.

Expectation: Cloud got his muscles from intense SOLDIER first class training. Reality: Ballet.

Okay Cloud the pole dancer is stuck in my head now. I find it funny.

Cloud's design being based on dancers make perfect sense. That was exactly what he looked like

I liked how they added new characters that are not from the script its like a new story has been added. As long as the new character is interesting and does not ruin the story or something its all good

The remake soundtrack by itself makes my office job so much fun haha.

cloud poledancing? a shame we didnt' see that.

While I loved a lot of the songs in the remake my favorite is probably the jazz cover of “On Our Way” that you only hear at the jukebox

I think this has been said a lot but Roche is a fantastic addition, not only because he's a fun character but in the original game we don't have a chance to fight against high ranked soldiers, it's very interesting to see Cloud fighting someone with similar skills (aside from Sephiroth of course)

Speaking of magazines, one thing that frustrated me about Barret was an overheat mechanic, when so easily they could have done a reload mechanic. And in things like MPs they stop firing arbitrarily, when they could have used a reload mechanic for them as well to prevent oversaturating with bullets, rather than an obscure time limit for shooting before they stop.

Listening to this while gathering in FF14. Thanks for the upload.

I'm gonna say the miss remembered length of time in Midgar was due to it being a lot of peoples first step into RPG's. And or the demo disc... I must have kill the scorpion boss about 100+ times including remake! I restarted original VII, 3 or 4 times too only completing it through twice. Once being when it got released of steam. SO yeah, spent a lot of time in Midgar. and trying to rush though it to get too the main gain, it felt like it was longer probably.

We could've had pole-dancing Cloud?! I feel CHEATED! 🤣

It doesn't make sense that the voice actors were "too old" when the Japanese actors are older, and Ive heard George Newbern recently. He literally sounds no different. I think because they were on a time crunch and that studio that was working on it the first time did a horrible job as seen with the first trailer, they went to Warner Bros who probably agreed to help on the condition that they use their actors from their CW shows, which Teen Wolf is a WB property. Thats my theory anyway.

I can't believe we were robbed of a Cloud pole dance.

Best FF channel out there. Super entertaining and simple. Love it.

I'm sorry, Cloud is not my "favorite Buster sword-wielding hero" :P Good video though, the Barret thing was a surprise.

Im a bit sad that the pole dance scene is scrapped lol, bc it would be so interesting for Cloud to do that haha

The only thing I didn't know on this list was Roche's Gundam connection 🤔

Fantastic video once again, you know I had to click this one pretty darn fast when I finally saw it after a long day of work What a great way to chill after a hard day, listening to more fun facts about FF7R! I almost wish there could be bonus footage or something - fan made clips maybe - so that we'd get those Mature rated dance moves! It's VERY fun to imagine what kind of spice might've been there!

IDK how you guys found things I STILL don't know about this game and actually still care about is frankly astonishing. I clicked on this video expecting to be proven wrong here, but I vastly underestimated you guys. I genuinely didn't know and somewhat cared about all of this. That should not still be possible. Bravo.

I really loved the dance sequence. I didn't expect it at all.

Seeing the materia junctioned in the equipment like visually - makes me so happy

That voice acting one, that makes it seem like there's been some shady back hand deals going on with CBS, or other parties involved.

Cloud is a Soldier. Genetically modified. If you increase a normal person's muscles, tissue resistance, etc., 10x over, 40Kg is a joke of a weight to wiggle about.

I'm really curious if they include the Key to Sector 5 side quest in the remake. It would be interesting to be able to explore more when freely returning to Midgar.

A quick correction here, it was not Treize Khushrenada who wore red in Gundam Wing, but Zechs Marquise. And the later was Known as the Lightning Baron/Count. Good Video as usual by the way, have a good one.

It would be more than “pretty difficult” to wield a 40kg sword ;)

Didn't think I'd see Char in here! Haha Gundam and FF have been my favorite series for as long as I can remember.

I see a new remake video, I instantly watch

That Roche guy looks like the devs took inspiration from Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Damn, I wanna see Cloud pole dance. :D

I will never forgive them for scrapping the pole-dancing scene.

So i found out that if the timer expires in the first mako reactor explosion and you get a game over in that particular way the game sends you back to title screen with no option to retry, and rightly so because theres no reason to take 20 minutes to get out and if you die like that you need to go back to the beginning and learn how to handle the basics better

Im wondering if theres any easter eggs that are shared with the original ff7

Hey man think you can do a in depth story explanation for Stranger Of Paradise, would love to hear a explanation of this especially since the new dlc is out

I would have loved the pole dance

"Heavy weapon" Crisis Core/Dissidia: The Buster Sword is light-weighted.

RIP to Vincent Price who would have been awesome as Vincent Valentine. 👍

I remember playing this game the first time. My friend and I hired this and the PlayStation from The video store and we were surprised that it came with 3 disks. Nevertheless, we had no idea what to expect, had not heard of it nor any previous FF games but we gave it a go...for about an hour 😅 After blowing up the first reactor, we assumed the rest of the game would navigate in the same direction with several more reactors to blow up - so we stopped playing. Fast forward a year and another friend gave me a copy and insisted I give it another go. So I did. And I was not disappointed. Far from it. Not only did the story go in a direction i never would have guessed or dreamed of, but it was a story I'd never ever come across, ever. My life stopped for this game and to this day, it's my most favourite game of all time and the best have I've ever played. I'm still playing it on my smartphone but God I wish i could play it again for the first time.

Really great video but you got one thing wrong at 4:38 the german cast was also changed like the english one

pd: perhaps is the largest on videogames. But the one who broke Guiness Record for more soundtraks is FF14

I need this channel and Cloud dancing, wow

13:40 sorry, but zack will forever be my favorite bustersword wielding protagonist ehehehehe

No way, Roche is a Char Clone? I can't believe it!

ehh i still think the english VAs could do their characters. if the other languages can keep the bulk of their original cast despite aging, then why couldn't the english ones?

Can you discuss about ELEMENTS in your next video please? I am a big fan of yours. Thank you.

When it comes to the voice cast I just hope they don't have someone play Cid like a hillbilly again

Do barret next for the final fantasy origins series

Rosch has the same JP Voice Actor as Avdol (from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure).

You need to sample some of the remix tracks available from OC Remix for your videos

No pole dancing I was robed

aahhha love Sokens photo man, ahahahhaah

There's no way that the Buster Sword weights 88.15lbs. The blade is too short and not wide or thick enough to match that weight. At least, not unless it's made out of a heavier material than what you'd normally make a sword from. If the Buster Sword is any kind of real world sword making metal, it would weigh 50lbs max.

another FF7 video??? 🤩 yes please!

I was making a gunpla while listening to this video 😊

I’m happy they didn’t make Cloud pole dance smh

Does anyone else notice that when you are in sector 5 and look up, you are still under the sector 6 plate? Have a look, it is more obvious after the sector 7 plate drop. Am I crazy or am I right?

having trent Reznor on the soundtrack would make it perfect

Wait what is the footage of char from?? I've never seen it before

Winter 2023 is dec 2022 to March 2023. The release was set for winter 2024.

Yea dude with the bike kinda reminds me of Dante from devil may cry

Hamuazu Hamuazu Hamuazu. You even have it on screen.

“FFVII Remake has the biggest collaboration of composers in the history of video games.” Eh…Super Smash Bros Ultimate says hi

I played the remake and being so excited about it I enjoyed it at the start but as it got further in and they added the entire new plot thread around the spirits I completely lost interest. I beat it out of sheer stubbornness to see it through and I guess I was so uninterested in it I forgot they tried to kill barrot I had high hopes but I lost any interest in them trying to do this

going to play this again soon before the crisis core remake that's not a remake/remaster that isn't a remaster

I love all of your FF7 (original and remake) content. FF 2 and 3 (US), 7, and 9 are by far my favorites. I see a video on one of them, I gotta check it out.

Funny point about the VA's (specifically Aerith's). I hear people complain about Aerith's (English) VA in KH all the time (and I agreed to an extent), I just recently I heard her Japanese VA in KH for the first time (first time seeing the game in full Japanese outside of speedruns that don't show cutscenes) and it almost threw me off how she sounded identical to FFVIIR (since I didn't know Maaya Sakamoto has always voiced Aerith). Almost weirdly identical given that it was 20 years ago.

Oh no please don’t say that Roche will be in Rebirth

I feel cheated at that last fact now. 😔

Not brining Zach VO from Crisis Core proves it was garbo

It's incredible that not only did they keep the Gay segments in the Remake, but they doubled down on it and expanded the Gay segments. Going on to create original Gay characters altogether. That's groundbreaking for Final Fantasy.

Typo in the title 😉

Man as a person who only played the remake and not the original game, I didn't think this video would just start talking about big spoilers with no warning

Have they said why they renamed Aps?

Hey no big deal, Clouds VA is named Cody Christian. Not Christianson. Hahaha. I do the same thing all the time.

10 was the last one with a decent soundtrack

"hamuazu" 🤔

Not gonna lie, my favorite fact was the pole dancing one

RIP pole dancing Cloud

"While some things like the Whispers were more controversial..." Yeah, fuck those guys. No need for them whatsoever. I also disliked the dancing bit in the Honeybee Inn since it runs counter to introverted Cloud, who tended to stand off by himself and not draw attention to himself (apart from fighting competitions, like the Battle Arena).

Heads up before this gets more views - there's a missed word in the title

I’m torn when it comes to the English VA for Sephiroth. On the one hand, maybe this is the director’s vision: that Sephy sound bored by everything around him, that his inflectionless tone is the right direction. On the other hand, tho, I just really really like the guy from Advent Children. I thought he did the voice right: subdued and monotone, but still cool and menacing. The new guy is just, meh. Reading straight from the script meh. Idk maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m in the minority. Cloud is great, everyone else is pretty good to great.

I really don't mind they changed the voice actors. The new ones are way better, specially Aerith. The only mistake I can point is wasting such a recognizable voice on Biggs. Gideon Emery deserved a playable character role, or at least a major character. Red XIII or Rufus would be a good match for his voice.

Grear content

His name is Masashi Hamauzu. Not Hamuazu. The A goes before the U. Sorry, I worship this man.

I really like how they fleshed out details, it really wouldn't work if we went through the story as simply as the original. That said I really could have done without the Lamp level being so long and the entire Train Graveyard really destroyed the urgency of the part of the story. Game would be better without.

I see FF7 and I have to click 😅

Hamauzu’s name is pronounced Hama-Uzu. Just a heads up.

The most surprising thing I learned from this is that people liked Roche? That whole section was cringe, should have been cut in its entirety.

Soken bae

While there are many people still saying Uematsu is the best composer for FF soundtracks I still love Yoko's compositions much more. It's just sad that she did the soundtrack for the worst mainline game so far.
