"I'm choking on oxygen!" quote of the year so far.

As an old dude, former teen who played this when it first was released in 1997, I'm super happy a new generation of gamers are getting a chance to experience the magic all over again. Time for another adventure. :3

Cloud be all like: I had my sword drawn JUST for this cool as hell jump I'll put it away now

You know your gonna have a rough day when the sky starts singing the first two lines of One Winged Angel on your way to work.

I also thought of Zack at the canyon bit.

You've quickly become one of my favorite youtubers, you being so emotionally invested in games and the genuine reaction you have to the stories gives me life. Love ya nyx you're amazing. Please keep making stuff.

I was there 1997 on first day of release! And I'm so lucky to be alive after 23 years, to be there once again, on first day of the release of the remake! Holy shiit!! Life is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!

Me: Stop FF7 Remake, you will make Nyxxi cry FF7R: Nyxxi always cry Nyxxi *crying* : thats not true

The major 4th chord after 3:56 accompanied by the synth drop just nails it in my tear ducts

He protecc He attacc But most importantly He carry Buster Sword on bacc

2:52 Aerith heard boss music

You asked the rocks formation was the place where "you're my living legacy.."? Yes. Also after the credit scene where Nanaki brought his 2 cubs to watch post-apocalyptic 500 years later Midgar.

When Avalanche meets it's end, I'm gonna cry for them, for the first time in over 20 years, and I'm so ready/not ready for it.

I'm so glad I found your channel... Its the best. Seriously. The squeak you did when you saw the chocobo, made my soul squeak back. Thank you.

Y U gotta play that Crisis Core music dude, imma cry. Love the FF enthusiasm tho, you add to the hype of the remake, I still can't believe it's actually happening after all these years. The reunion is near.

You just played the original game and you're completely hyped for the remake. Think about what this does to people who played it back in 1997 or like me in the early 2000s. It brings generations together and you are the best example why this game is so freaking magical. I love how we all come together when we talk about the remake... Thanks for this emotional content you're spreading!

Your emotions give me even more emotions. Thank you.

Literally my reaction every time i watch / rewatch the Theme trailer, this trailer, and anything about this game. So. Stoked.

Your reactions are always the best and most relatable haha. Love it. So excited 💛 you can bet this will be the best and most hype game remake we will ever experience in our lifetimes! I actually hope you do a full playthrough of the game and upload it to KZfaq or put in your best bits!!! I want to watch all of it

Your reactions to videos are so cute I love how emotional you get

Seeing something from my mid teens have such an impact 23 years later on you younglings makes my heart happy! Mad love for all my FF family! Great reaction vids on your FF gameplay

Always enjoy your content. Your reactions are how I feel on a spiritual level about this remake.

I love how emotional you get watching it. I’m so ready for this game!

I keep watching your reviews and I'm always entertained with your enthusiasm and quirkiness lol Thanks for doing what you do and I can't wait for this either btw 🖤

Nyxi, been watching your reactions for a few months and some of your streams from time to time when I can, I must say I enjoy a lot your personality and you just being you :D! Keep being who you are! (Also, you are beautiful!)

Your nerdy over the top video reactions keep bringing me back to this channel. Well done, well done.

New FF7 fans: "Oh nice opening shot" Hardcore FF7 fans: "ITS THE ROCK!" Ps. I love your pure reactions and how your videos are edited, it adds to the emotion and fun

Your reaction videos are the best. Also I am so beyond hyped for this remake I can’t even put it into words

Seeing those cliffs hit me hard :( The music also hit me hard, the soundtracks to FF7 and FFX led me to want to write music for games which is where I am now! All because of a few beautiful people who decided to develop an amazing franchise!

love your videos nyxipuff my jaw dropped watching this april 10th i cant wait to play this it looks incredible the level of detail wow just amazing

I'm glad to watch someone enjoy what I have for like 30 years since ff2. I have only just found your channel , but I like that you do what you enjoy without care of judgment. I wish you well.

14 February...so I LOVE YOU NYX, your reactions and streams are amazing!

Damn your reaction is the best one I've seen yet, you even made me well up and I've seen the opening trailer a good ten times now and didn't well up once lol. I could easily watch you play the entire game -subscribed!!!

nyx : kick me jessie, kick me. I am volunteered as your kick target 😂 why do nyx like being hit so much?😂😂

I watched a lot of reactions to the remake openings but yours is the most properly overwhelmed out of the bunch. I’d like to react to this the same way as you do, but I’m just a grown ass dude now who played the original as a teenager

The moment that got me was as soon as the title screen hit. That makes it all feel real, and after all of these years begin for it to actually being remade just warms my heart! Your reactions are excellent! Thoroughly enjoy your videos, cannot wait to see the playthroughs of this monumentous game

Out of all the KZfaqrs I watch on Final Fantasy seven continent. You are the one with the most similar reactions to my own. This remake pierces me to my core. Every time I see one of these videos it's always a tear to my eye. I simply cannot stand it. The same way I felt watching the opening 20 + years ago when I played this for the first time. They've managed to recreate all those same feelings. In so much more detail. I know games have looked good for a while. But I truly believe that Final Fantasy 7 remake will continue the Final Fantasy tradition of upping the bar as far as quality of games go. This will be something that everything else is compared to.

haha your enthusiasm is always super catching, seeing somebody so excited makes waiting for this game way more fun

Your reactions are the best Nyx! can't wait to see u play and go crazy :D

Watching your heart break and melt in real time through tears reacting to your emotional connections to characters and locations from the original is just the right amount of wholesomeness I needed this morning.

2:15 "*I'm getting goosebumps*" You're not the only one, same here ;) I get chills and goosebumps everytime there's a new trailer of that game. I've played many videogames, and FF7 is the only one that gets me deep emotions and feelings everytime. And as I can see I'm not the only one lol. I hope you're gonna have a blast playing the remake. Take care !

Yeah. That was pretty much my reaction shot for shot, emotion for emotion. The moment the "estas imperis" first started I got goosebumps. I absolutely love the emotion behind everything you said. "Video games are magic" is my new favorite quote. Can't wait to see that Death Stranding play through!

Your reaction to the panning city shot was abou the same as mine. It’s effing gorgeous

You're definitely on the top of my list of reactors/streamers. SO HYYYYYPE

You somehow express out loud what my soul tries to say when I watch this. Favorite reactions ever.

Youre one of the few genuine people left for KZfaq hope you keep it up puff

I'm right with you Nyxipuff, problem is everytime ive watched this my eyes just overflow with tears but im not crying, I've waited all my life for this. Enjoy it and eveyone else to go back home.

Where so close to having this game in our hands its like waiting for kh3 for a second time

I remember when I was 5 years old 23 years ago and I wanted to be cloud. Now I want to be WITH Cloud and Tifa. I want to make that love triangle a love SQUARE.

Me encanta como lo sientes y como te emociona, parece que lo viviste en su día como yo, esto va a ser muy grande, estoy deseando que llegue Abril... 😭

The music so far has just been amazing with everything. That song had such an eerie vibe with the one winged angel sorta in it. I kept getting nervous when ever that song plays something bad is about to happen haha.

Why the hell am i getting emotional watching this again with you, but i didnt when the first time i watched it?!

Ive seen the Opening Movie being online but I waited for you reaction to watch it the first time then aswell :)

I wasn't emotionally prepared to watch it, and, I wasn't emotionally prepared to watch YOU watching it.

I was 17 years old when I played FF7 back in 1997. It was amazing back then but seeing this remade is like going back to my younger years. I can't believe I am 40 now. I think most of the original gamers who played this when it was new has to be around late 30's or 40's as well lol.

Felt the same way. So glad it’s been preordered for a long time. The original and A/C got me through a lot of bad times as a kid and early team. Taught me that games could be a great escape in bad times. I’m so happy they kept most of the main theme intact. I’m with ya, I got the feels from this too!

You're the only person I've seen reacting that picked up the song in the intro was one winged angel slowed down. Props to ya!

Hi NyxiPuff I honestly Love your Intro showcasing the old ff7 train scene 0:20 You are so pretty and lively. Love your content. Keep up your work. ♥️💯💥

Nyxi, you are my spirit animal!

Just found your channel. Loving it dude.

I dont know you, just came her cause a reaction compilation, and i have to say, i really can feel your emotions of seeing this, your childhood emotions getting back cause of this remaked scene, i can feel it and its amazing :')

Just so you know, nyx, I subscribed when you geeked out on the ribbon physics, ga-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ah.

i love your reaction! so sweet.

Idk why but "Bet even Sephiroth would help her" XDDD Killed me. I am honestly so excited for this game! I only recently found your channel but already love your gaming videos!!

I started way later than most folks, having only gotten the game for my birthday in 2002. But holy hell, I was floored by that original intro and the transition to gameplay.

I love when you get so excited, you start shushing yourself.

Can't wait to see you finish it

Your reactions are my spirit animal

I played the original game shortly after it first came out. As a 34 year old man, I was not expecting a mere opening to make me tear up this much. Oh the nostalgia! Your reactions are so great. Can’t wait to enjoy this game along with you!

Your reactions are the best

The opening with the desert-type landscape and the eagle, reminded me of the beginning of Shadow of the Colossus.

I felt the same as you when I saw the video I played on the ps one there by 98. I can't believe to see this again.

3:17 Most people: No the flower! How could you?! Me: That flower symbolizes reunion, and since it got crushed, it symbolizes a reunion that never happened... *SOBS.*

great reaction! this gave me all the feels too! what a classic

I've been playing this game since I was 10. I am now 31 years old. I have been waiting for this for damn near 21 years. I'm so happy to see other people exited for this. To share what defined my younger years(as sad as that sounds) to a new audience makes me so happy. I watched your play through of the original, it was like reliving my first time playing. Thank you for that. I haven't had those feelings for a long while.

We’re all gonna need counseling after seeing this realistic Aerith ummm well you know what happens. I can’t see them changing that as that’s like one of the biggest moments emotionally in gaming period.

April 10th, This is going to be amazing. We've all waited so long. But are we really ready to relive that tragic moment in HD and this kind of quality. You all know what moment I'm talking about. The gaming world will cry once again.

Great channel. I just discovered it. 'When I was your age' (Throw in obligatory middle-aged man joke here) I remember watching the original opening. It exploded my head. Now there's this. I know exactly how you feel. And as much as I love the visuals, the musical arrangement on this game is my absolute love. If it told me to do something, all that I could say is 'As you wish'.

How can you NOT get the feels after watching this one? My goodness.

I don't know what's more impressive this opening or the fact this video was edited so quickly

I played this game on the original PSX back when I was 14 years old. It blew my mind. It is the game of my life. Even my nickname in real life is "Seph". I've played the remake, and also saw your gameplay videos. To me, the remake is PERFECT in all senses. Everything is like in my dreams. I'm so happy they did it. Now, waiting the part 2.

Hah, I was waiting for this

Was waiting for this! Huge yay! :D

I need to complete this part and am already eagerly waiting for part 2 and how you traverse those rocks and valleys and get to Kalm, and then towards the Chocobo Ranch with the lovely and cute Chocobos, then ill save and just walk towards the Midgar Zolom just to see how big he will be.........aaaah I can't wait for everything... give me all of it now xD

Can't wait to play as best girl -Tifa- Cloud.

wow, your's was so cute! and perfectly genuine. You have no idea how long I have waited for this re-make. Lets all enjoi together!! :D - Kupo

I can't wait any longer for this game, this game was born with me!

Just before the transition to Aerith really hit me as it zooms into the little girl's eyes in the park whilst she is looking at the Mako Reactor. I think it was showing the darkness and eariness of using lifeforms' engery to power every day technology. Preventing the dead from resting and finding peace, using the children playing in the park area who have this somewhat innocent attachment to life was impactful. But also the links To Aerith, not only because of the park in the slums but also her attachment to the life stream and the planet's cries. I believe that this was one of the main themes this was portraying as the newer sections, the foreboding music and small hints of A One Winged Angel, which shows the metropolis that is Midgar and how Mako is utilised for virtually everything, cars, lights, interesting with the dead flowers as your are draining life force for power, there is no life force to grow flowers even with the sunlight enveloping the upper plates. This class like system is also demonstrated in the newer sections till the old transition of Aeirth. This all links to how Aeirth has her connection to the livestream, can grow flowers and is located below the plates in the slums. Pretty malevolently beautiful.

Love your reaction videos to squaresenix ones. Love the world! It’s even replicating Advent Children!!

2:36 when my tears could no longer be contained

What I like is we see how much life is going on above AND below the plates. This really hammers home the loses after the section plate is dropped. T_T

The thing that amazes me to no end is how smooth the transitions are from what we've been shown of this game between cutscenes and gameplay. For instance, we saw in the E3 trailer that after this opening movie plays the camera simply pans around Cloud and we're in control fighting enemies. Also, during the first boss fight there are cutscenes that transition between the different phases of the fight all the while maintaining a very beautiful video quality. At first I thought the cutscenes must all be pre-rendered but looking at how the footage has changed from the trailers to this it seems more like it's rendering much of this in-engine and it simply employs a detail slider to increase the visual fidelity when we're not in actual combat. This is possibly a core effect that can be used in Unreal Engine 4 natively as I remember similar things Hellblade but the transitions just seem so much smoother here.

I like coming back to this.

The first scene on the wastelands near outskirts of Midgar. It's continuation from the end of CC.

The beginning must be a glimpse of the larger open world.. A tease! Can't wait for the 2nd part already.

The reaction I was waiting for

Ich hab ganz mit dir mitgefühlt, ich hab auch die Pisse in den Augen gehabt. Ich hab damals auch den ps1 Teil 7 mal durch gezockt ❤️ das beste Spiel, das es je gegeben hat ❤️ Ich habe allein beim Intro vom Remake gestimmt 10 Liter Tränen vergossen vor lauter Freude 😭 so cool, so liebevoll umgesetzt, so liebevoll im Detail ❤️ einfach perfekt ❤️

i never seen girl more love final fantasy 7 than you :D amazing

8:32 "Yeah I bet even Sephiroth would help her, he has manners." perhaps this was the plan in one of the earlier developments where they'd be exes. Yoshitaka Amano also drew one of his beautiful works based on this!

Nyx you're so god dang funny. Love it.
