That Matt Mercer Vox Machina clip was SO well timed. You have great comedic timing. Just finished Rebirth, so I'm eating good today

My personal favorite aspect is the enemy skills. Initially, I thought it was acceptable that the remake only included four of them. However, witnessing the stunning visual impact of Trine when the materia guardian used it against Cloud and Sephiroth in the demo left me utterly impressed. It's a game-changer! Let's make our voices heard , the devs should expand the roster of enemy skills.

Amazing video man! I loved it and now i'm on an FF VII Marathon to prepare for Rebirth!

Dude, I’ve been a huge fan of everything FF7 and you just taught me so much.

This was really entertaining and well put together, looking forward to more!

This is the first video I've seen of yours, and I'm thoroughly entertained. Keep 'em coming!

Loved the video. Looking forward to part 2!

Loved this video 🫶🏼 looking forward to part 2!

You did a great job on this video. Definitely subscribed

Incredible video and editing! You earned yourself a subscribe. On to part 2.

Less than a week out from Rebirth and this video is so very helpful. Not even 10 minutes in and I’ve learned more than I have playing the games naturally (it takes me a bit to pick up and connect concepts). It’s also very entertaining so thanks for that.

I just subbed, and this is a Great video. superb on the video editing with the sourced out clips on every subject. Explaining the history and product

Amazing video, excited for the future parts!

Great production quality my man

Just the video i was looking for. I’m a new player In FF so everything lore wise seems daunting AF. Thanks for the video!!

That was a hilarious KZfaqr cameo between NSP, Blitz and Max 😂

subscribed :) really liking your vids. hopefully you have all the parts out before Feb 29th. lol

Yo you need more subscribers. Underrated YT'er right here. Keep em' coming.

Great video man! Fun an informative :)

i like how you touched on the materia for the purpose of covering its importance in the story. and then nodded to it subtlety. well played 😂

Great video! As others have said, educational AND very entertaining.

Love your video! Keep going 😁

Looking forward to the next episode!

I would love to see a Jenova horror like scene of her landing and taking out Cetra in scary ways

Great video, loved the quotes from Advent children and the music, keep it up for feb 29th 👌😂

Really entertaining video, you deserve more views.

I went through TeamFourStar’s Machinabridged for the refresher lol thx for digging deeper for us 😎

I love how you took the scene with Vincent and put the clip of Matt Mercer in there😂 perfect

Great video only one thing I wanna mention though. Remake is kind of reconing the whole Aerith is the sole survivor of the Cetra, which makes sense if you think about it. How can a full blooded ancient be around after 2000 years if 99.9% of them were killed off back then? They changed the script in remake when Elmyra states “Aerith is the Sole Survivor of the Ancients” to “ She is “Probably” the last of her kind. Even Hojo makes a quip saying Ifalna was the last “Pureblooded” ancient. This is setting up there may be more half-blooded or mixed Cetra out there somewhere. And honestly there has been a theory out for years (like back when Advent Children came out years) that Marlene is also part Cetra. Even in OG FF7 she has always been very keen to things that a normal 4 year old should not be. The final CGI scene in the original game she can sense Holy and the lifestream and Aerith before it’s even visible anywhere by midgar while she was all the way over in Kalm. Don’t even get me started in Advent Children stuff either the entire movie she is very in tune with everything and is the literal stand in for Aerith’s role 100%. She even knows where Clouds Geostigma is located before and he literally has told no one about it. The remake scene with them both I am fully confidently say is not Aerith giving her a future glimpse of the timeline…every future glimpse involves Blue/Green magic orbs and is instantaneous upon a touch. There was no magic orb with Marlene and she was hugging her for about a full minute before the thing happens….the world vibrates and she instantly calms down and Aerith wants her to keep whatever they experienced together a secret. Why? Because if they find out another ancient is around she would be a target the rest of her life. And lastly she tells Zack a scary man will kill her when she wakes up from her coma….if Aerith showed her the future, it would have been OG timelines future not Zack lives now future where everyone else is dead and Cloud and Aerith are both in a coma future….Aerith didn’t even know Zack is still alive until AFTER they kill the Arbiter of Fate and left Midgar.

Great video!

Awesome video ❤

Great video. Keep it up.

This was a good timeline of the series. At first I thought you were pronouncing Lucretia/Lucrecia's name incorrectly, but hearing the voice acting I can see why. I had a look and the Japanese version lines up, too. Will take a while for my ears to adjust. Watching Part 2 after this. Cheers.

4 weeks waiting for the next part of this, I'm waiting sir :D

I did a compilation of ff7 marathon myself, and I went into the deep weeds on this, hell I looked up the story of Dirge of Cerberus multiplayer (CAUSE THAT WAS ACTUALLY A SHORT LIVED THING IN JAPAN) with translations in the cutscenes

When’s the next part ? This is the best breakdown I’ve seen of the story in an engaging manner

When is part 2 coming out? I know you had covid and it is hard I understand but I really love your ff7 content and cannot wait for part 2 of you covering even more details. As a ff7 remake nerd, I can fact check and say you video was perfectly accurate. Love your content and cannot wait for the next one. ( I also understand what you are going through I had covid like 5 times. Don’t want to come off as rude I just love your ff7 content @Greysupernova)

I had no idea that Nibelheim was the location of the first reactor 😮 that would explain why Jenova was originally stored there of all places

i am taking the week off dor Rebirth release !! I will also be streaming but its more for sharing the experiences of this game with fellow enjoyers which i cant imagine a better thing to do !!!

I know this is off topic but I really hope that 7 years from now when FFVIIR-3 comes out they release it on January 31st and on 3 discs, just like the original. Bonus points if it makes it out by 2027 marking 30 years to the day!

Dude I was gonna make a similar video on my channel. I subscribed

Damn. This is good.

nice video

When's part two. Cant wait.

We need Part 2!!!

When will part 2 be released?

Does this have spoilers for anything because the only final fantasy 7 media ive played or even watched is ff7 remake.

Dude you got about 8 subs today . You should actually do more ff7 content

What I'd like to know is if my materia and stats will carry over

Commenting for the algorithm 👍

15:52 where is that gameplay from?

14:17 I'm sorry isn't this the Umbrella Lab under Raccoon City? 😂 see same universe

I will forever pronounce it may-ko

part 2 ?/

I guess I can't suscribe because Aerith is my girl ): Jokes aside, thanks for putting this all together. It's been...a while. I had even forgotten the Before Crisis reveal about Rufus and Avalanche until someone jumpscared me with it recently, I'm vaguely dreading how many details.

My waifu is actually Aerith. Guess I can’t like or sub 😢. In all seriousness and unpopular as this may be, I’d like to know what kind of star system did Jenova come from. Is she just some kind of Lavos like in Chrono Trigger? Or is she one of many other Jenovas just flying about the universe and eating worlds?

INSERT COVID JOKE HERE 😂😂😂😂 You get a sub, sit!

What do you mean by “instead if Jesus, we have Jenova”?

Ready to be hit with a painful nail... The planet's name in Japanese is Hoshi, or "Star"... Now check out Bugenhagen in the rebirth trailer in the planetarium.. it appears we will get the proper name, as opposed to the name given to it by western magazines based on the similar FF the Spirits Within, which similarly has an earth Gaia(LifeStream) versus an alien Gaia (Jenova, alien LifeStream).

King shit making these

I subscribe coz I support Tifa, not Tifa and Cloud, just Tifa

Part 2 when?

7:30 Actually it’s midichlorians

Since this is a “things to know before FF7 Rebirth”. Why use footage from that game?

😂 HOLY JENOVA....

You actually like the remakes? Did you hate the original?

You lost me the moment you said “its more akin to a sequel”.

Covid joke inserted

Kadja was cool would of been better if he wasn't cry baby

This was very frustrating to watch. There is some really good stuff here: video editing, sound editing, logical flow of thought, good pacing… and then every two and half seconds there’s a desperate attempt to make a joke which comes off as both pandering and whining. Backing off the poor attempts at humor would drastically cut down your run time and streamline the entire video.

Why do you need to know anything? Why can't you just go in and play a video game for the first time without knowing every possible detail there is to know?

Pro tip. Just play the original. Mod it if you need to. The remake is terrible. The only decent thing about it is the music. They raped the best game ever made

i dont give a fuck... 😊👍

FF7R was terrible. I’ve tried to play through it twice and stopped both times. Game is so bad and disappointing.
