OKAY I KNOW NEXT WINTER COULD MEAN LIKE DEC 2023-FEB 2024, I WAS BEING A DUMMY, BUT STILL THE FACT THAT IT'S THAT CLOSE... WHAT. THIS IS CRAZY.

Here's some context JC: Ever Crisis is a collection of remakes of the compilation of FFVII in the style of the original game. The compilation includes Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus. Also, Crisis Core has been locked to PSP for years, so it coming back and being on all consoles is a pretty big deal.

It's such a beautiful thing to see new FF7 fans join in on the fun with the rest of us. Remake and Rebirth, etc are made so that even new fans can experience it to the fullest.

Also came into FF7R as a new fan and loved it . A year later I did my “homework” aka play the original and watch the other FF7 stuff. So hyped

It's so awesome that this is your genuine first time experiencing this story. If you really want some insight I highly recommend watching Maximilian dood and especially his video with easy allies

Man I’m so excited for this, your play through made me love ff and I can’t wait to see how part two goes

I have a gut feeling that Zack got revived and may be a buddy that cloud is with you on your journey with his friends which is actually exciting actually, which seems to me in the video while carrying cloud, that's the blood of the enemies he fought

You have a lot of cool stuff to look forward to, man i woudl love to be new too FF7 all over again lol. Its nice to see a newer fans take on things :)

bro the mako reactor music always give me chills!!! and i love JC excitement!!

This is fucking amazing. Love you jc and crisis core and rebirth are for sure a preorder

I only know Final Fantasy from the Opera Omnia mobile game. It’s actually pretty fun and has a story that branches across every single FF game

Dude I'm with you. I'm not new to FF but I am new to FF7 and I'm experiencing it for the first time with these remakes and I want to keep it that way. But damn, I'm confused too! Staying away from spoilers, especially right now, is next to impossible.

Its nice to see a new fan like JC of the FF7 series to see this trailer. I dont want to ruin the story, but im excited to see you play part 2! Its hands down one of the best FF series story's.

I’m so excited they seem really confident and I can understand why it’s going a lot smoother and faster than Remake part 1 !!! The assets are mostly already done, important characters have already had their design completed, the world engine and gameplay is already worked on. I’m so so so excited

Just for context-- nothing spoilery. Ever Crisis is going to be a general overview of all of the compilations you just saw flash before you at the very beginning. However, it's also going to include new content that even us OG fans don't know about-- Sephiroth's beginnings, which is why you see him with short hair. This is going to be very new for everyone.

This showing was actually really hype, like you I barely know a lot about FF franchise but it was still amazing!!

love seeing newer FFVII fans, enjoy the ride~~

Im so ready for you to play crisis core

I have an assignment due in 3.5 hours, only 20% of the way done. Choosing to watch this anyway lmao

It's great to see the perspective of a new player (and probably a new hardcore one hehe). Yeah, a lot of things might be confusing but considering what the director said, you won't need to play the original to enjoy the remake trilogy. Great reaction.

They went unreasonably hard on that final fantasy menu theme techno remix

Jc we love the content, will we finally see a certain twitch channel playthrough kingdom hearts??? 🥵

I hope you stream Crisis Core.

JC I think you would really like the original FFVII and I hope to see you stream it sometime

Had no idea this was going on, only knew because my Twitter feed blew up lol

im thinking if they use the R for part 3 its Final Fantasy 7 Reuion it makes sence cause of Remake and Rebirth but idk but im hyped for rebirth

Why did stop on the MMO after 1st entry?

Hope to see you play Crisis Core FF7 Reunion! Zack Fair is the best 💘

14 gets better as the expansions go on, the first is the roughest

NEXT WINTER is technically December 21, 2023 to March 21, 2024. I guarantee this game is not coming out in 2023 most likely March 2024 but Square loves to delay FF games so this will probably be Fall 2024.

Dude, you really shouldn't care that much about people thinking you're "faking" or that you're a "noob". I also got into Final Fantasy through Final Fantasy VII Remake, and it's become my favourite videogame ever. It's just good that you discovered a game and loved it and are now intrigued to see what projects they're creating about Final Fantasy VII. I hope to see your reactions to Crisis Core Reunion and FF7 Rebirth!

niebelheim flashback as stated from og ff7

ZF is the most liked character in the whole franchise- a well agreed on opinion by many

Just realized that if people new to the series play this Crisis Core Remake/Remaster before playing OG FF7, they're going to get massively spoiled on the big plot twist of FF7.

When you get the time, you should play the original as it’s going to be really important in terms of the remake trilogy story. I played remake first and then went back to original. After playing the original, I went to replaying remake, and there’s so many things starting to make sense about what the remake trilogy will be about. Also recommend watching Advent Children Complete (better version movie) after beating original FF7.

---*An Analysis: How Square Enix is at a Unique Position in History, and How They can Either Make or Break it*--- With the release of FFVII 25th anniversary content and footage as shown by Square Enix, I started to ponder to myself in wonder regarding how Square Enix seems to be in such a unique moment in history in which no other company, in no other medium of story-telling, has ever been in (at least from what I am aware of). I'm referring to the fact that Square Enix has the unique opportunity to correct their story-telling sins of their past, on top of succeeding on their new narrative direction, if they do it all correctly. But allow me to back up a little bit. When FFVII Remake was announced way back in 2015, everybody was obviously excited over the idea that their beloved game was getting the treatment that every other remake gets: an overhaul in visuals, modernizing the gameplay, but leaving the story intact. But lo' and behold, we were met with an idea and meaning of a remake that was very different from what fans anticipated. Rather than a 1 to 1 remake of the story, as we all now know, FFVIIR is in fact a sequel for all intents and purposes. Met with mixed reception as far the story is concerned, many fans were (arguably) justifiably upset over the direction they went of doing a sequel rather than simply retelling the same story we are all familiar with and love. And the crazy thing was, their reimagining of what a remake was for them, was to make a plot featuring alternate timelines, time travel, or something of this nature. Although the reality of what is exactly going on is still up in the air until we get clarity from Rebirth, what we do know is that the inclusion of Whispers definitely turns things on its head, and makes it a sequel, not a retelling of OG story. Whether it's alternate timelines, time travel, etc, I find it fascinating that although Square Enix is not really known for strong storytelling, they decided to go a direction that not even AAA game studios like Rockstar or Naughty Dog, companies known for their top-tier writing and narrative, would probably ever dare go. Why? Because they understand how difficult and delicate it can be messing around with the timeline and details of a story, which can create major plotholes, extremely convoluted story, etc. But then they released news of the upcoming game FFVII Ever Crisis, with the tagline, "Another Possibility for a Remake?", and it is in the true meaning of this statement I would argue rests so much of the fate of Compilation of FFVII. Although Square Enix only knows it's true meaning, I'd like to explore the only three possible interpretations I could see coming from this tagline, and my thoughts on how their direction they take as a result, rests the success of FFVII Compilation. 1st possible direction - 3rd timeline: first thing it could mean is that they will create yet another timeline that strays off in another direction, but I don't think they would be that stupid or reckless. They've been there, done that already with Remake, and to do a third timeline would take the possibility of plot holes, inconsistencies, and convolutedness to astronomical proportions. It would fail before it even started. So I doubt this is the direction they will go, but if they do, then God have mercy on their souls! 2nd possible direction: exact retelling of OG FFVII, and rest of Compilation: in the question of, "Another Possibility of a Remake?", could they perhaps mean giving us the remake we desired in the first place? it is in this they can fulfill the vision of fans everywhere, in giving a remake which fans desired this whole time, complete with the presentation they are familiar with, and updated graphics. It is in this that they can have not only fulfilled their own innovating and risky story-telling through their vision of what they wanted Remake to be, but also fulfill the vision of fans by delivering OG story through Ever Crisis, in which case it can be a win-win. But is this really the best outcome? 3rd possibility: retelling of OG story and compilation... But with some revision for consistency and quality sake across compilation titles. This would be the best approach I think they could take. We all know the quality and consistency of story-telling across the different compilation titles vary quite wildly, with only OG FFVII and Crisis Core (to some degree) considered to have good story-telling. And we also know that, for better or worse, Square Enix had announced years ago that all of FFVII Compilation is considered canon, which means with all it's flaws and inconsistent level of writing and cringe characters included. But who's to say that they mean the OG compilation? What if they are referring to Ever Crisis compilation? Could they be righting (by rewriting) their story-telling sins of their past by making the quality and details and characters strong and consistent throughout all the titles? Because it is only in this approach that FFVII Compilation can truly be successful. And with the inclusion of what is seemingly alternate timelines, it's all the more important that they make sure all the story details add up and there are few discrepancies and weak-writing as possible. And as fans have noted, the likes of Weiss and Nero were already represented in a more respectable and less cringy manner in Remake Intergrade, so if they did that with them, it leaves open the possibility that they may revise the representation of certain other characters as well (*cough* Genesis *cough*). So I believe Ever Crisis is a pivotal title that can make or break the success of FFVII Compilation as a whole, considering it comprises everything of Compilation outside of the 3 Remake parts. And they are in a very unique position because I don't know of any other franchise, in any other story-telling medium, where a company has given themselves the opportunity to retell their franchise's story, but with hindsight on what can work better and rewriting those aspects to equalize the level of writing across titles. So which path will Square Enix take? Will they possibly cement FFVII Compilation in history as one of the strongest, most intriguing narratives in video game history? Or will they make "FFVII COMPLICATION", making it one of the most convoluted, poorly written narratives by introducing yet another timeline, and simultaneously failing to redress the sins of their past? Only time will tell how this will all unfold and where the legacy of FFVII will be left. I wish them all the best

OK so you said out of all the games that are announced, this is your most anticipated. So let’s say, hypothetically, a new sly Cooper was announced. Would that take its place? 😂😂

You should try Final Fantasy X/ X-2 Remaster. FFX is a masterpiece. When it came out it was revolutionary and in the opinion of many, it has one of the best stories in the FF series.

I played the OG FF7 after FF7 remake. How tf are they going to do do a part 2 when midgar was literally like 4 hours and that was the whole first game

Yeah bro, third parts like the original, maybe we play the 3rth part in Playstation 6 lol, but we got Re4 remake meanwile we wait the complete Game

Play FFXV, that's one that I really loved. If you liked VII Remake, you'll probably enjoy it a lot.

Bro, play the original before playing Rebirth. I think it will really enhance your experience when the time comes. Cheers

u have to play crisis core man, you will be surprised

So final fantasy 7 rebirth is literally: Change the timeline and make things different so Sephiroth is gonna be on the good guys side now?

Sounds like someone needs to play all the original final fantasy games to understand everything

I would highly suggest playing through the original FF7 before you play crisis core. If you ever plan to, do so beforehand. One of the biggest mysteries and best twists in a game will be spoiled otherwise.

woah this dude should be on asmongold's stream

Dude you need to play ff10 like ASAP

Play FFXV it's fun

Did you understand thats a sequel not a remake? Remake isn't what the game is..... its what the story is

you need to stream the original so we can get triggered at you lol

The 7 remake is really fun, not a big fan of the changes to the story though, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
