Close to four years later...the Unknown Journey continues tonight.

Let's take a moment to remember all the FF7 fans around the world who have passed away before getting the chance to play this ❤

man this journey has been insane, i can’t wait for tonight

One of the most charming things about Maxs FF7 content, is that he doesn't do it like a game news guy, he is literally just a megafan!

These last 4 years and before that have been everything 🙏🏾

There's just something about Max's passion for FF7 that is just so infectious. Legitimately my favorite FF7 creator. I can't wait to see what this new era of Rebirth brings us

I am so fuqin hyped to play through and then immediately watch your Vods on twitch of the same things i just played

I can't believe it's 4 years ago. Rebirth is gonna be amazing.

The fact max nails every prediction is crazy to me. Which makes me have the theory that creators of FF7 watch maxs theories and ideas and uses them.

how the hell did you make me nostalgic and emotional over a game i have never played before

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the game that made me get to know Max and follow his streams on twitch and watch videos on KZfaq. Thank you Max for this wonderful journey! I had so much fun everyday and I am happy to still continue it today with the second part of this game and in future expansions and games Max will play!!❤❤❤

I'm turning 50 next month. This game is a big part of my life it got me through my darkest times. I just love this game and I'm just starting to play it rebirth. Thanks for this Max you're awesome.

I started this journey with Max like 3 weeks ago, because im new to his content in general. ive watched every single theory video or tangent he made about Remake and Rebirth and im happy to be here to watch him play Rebirth His joyfulness really captivated me Thank you for making me love Final Fantasy even more, Max!

I was already a dad when ReMake released but seeing Max become a father and then seeing him get emotional during the hard hitting moments during his recent replay, it really brought it all home because I knew what he was experiencing and I knew those emotions of his were genuine.

Max’s excitement and joy is so infectious. It’s been a long journey to Rebirth and he’s been there with us every step of the way. So excited for this game, and THANK YOU MAX for sharing your own excitement and joy with all of us!!

The passion and love for ff7 resonates from you so much Max

I cant wait to play this game. But even more than that, i cant wait to watch you playing this game!

Happy to have been apart of this journey. Favorite game of all time. Used to draw pictures of cloud and Barrett in 4th grade. Now I’m 34. Been a long time coming.

This dude really deserves the legacy streamer award!

I may not be watching live as you play the game, because of course I want to experience this as fresh as possible on my own, but it has been so fun getting excited and watching your reactions/insight into what this game might be. I cannot wait, dude. We are so goddamn close

0:50 this moment just brings me back. I had forgotten the feeling of playing Remake for the first time. Realizing you're there in the slums again. The music hitting you and the visuals. Like being home again. And just the general excitement that you we're going to be on this journey once again. This was just the start. I remember discovering your FF7R theory crafting videos and podcast discussions with other content creators. It was super fun listening in on that speculation that 2020 summer. After that things kind of dissipated, atleast for me. But I always remembered Max for his excitement of the remake project. Later on when rumors swelled about FF7 Rebirths reveals in 2022 and 2023 I returned and started to follow the channel. It's been truly great to share in the passion and excitement. And I'm glad there's atleast a couple years left of excitement and anticipation for what could be revolving FF7 and this channel. Here's to many more fun times in the coming years!

Can’t wait to look this back a few years later when pt3 drops just to see how far we’ve come

None of my friends were really ever in to final fantasy as a kid. A few were, mildly, but they didn't get excited about it like I did. As an adult, seeing the reveal of the remake i was taken back to that same level of excitement, but never really had anyone to share it with. It sort of put a damper on it for me. I didn't know of you back then. But I do now, and I know I don't actually know you, but, your untethered enthusiasm makes it feel like I have someone to share the excitement with. Thank you for that. I don't know if you ever think of the effect your content might have on people, but, I thought you should know.

I see you as the greatest advocate for final fantasy 7.. there is so much love and reverence in your voice when you talk about it .. You reflect my feelings about this perfectly . Thank you mr dude !

I gotta say Max. Even though you're mostly a fighting game channel, your passion for FF7 as far as I've seen is unrivaled here on KZfaq. Your reactions and theories to Remake as it was coming out convinced me to buy the game and I absolutely loved it! I don't have a PS5 yet so I have been eagerly awaiting your playthrough of Rebirth so I can follow the hype as it's happening. Keep doing what you're doing, bro! Can't wait to see how it all plays out this time. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

This is for all of our fallen ff7 fans that are no longer with us, including my big brother. I’ll be playing in his honor ❤ this game means everything to me!

4:22 Roche and Max saying "Come On" at the same time always gets me

Man, I found this channel through the Cloud Smash Reveal way back when. As a consequence I was dragged into a rabbit hole of this game’s world and Characters. I can’t say I regret it tbh, a complaint will not be heard from me. So… Thank You, Max. It’s been a great ride so far, and I can’t wait for it to continue.

Max, you'll never read this but from street fighter to tekken to final fantasy. You inspire me to be greater and to fight for what I want. Your story, your passion resonates within like an infection. Seeing you cry about how you told your wife about the story of FF7 and thinking..GOD IM A NERD and then sticking with it and seeing all your fantadies come true is so amazing to see. From going to the gym to be a better father for Ripley to the friendship you have with yovideogames you are genuinley the most loving creator on this platform and on twitch. You deserve the world and I hope us and the greatest twitch chat to ever exist has given you that because you are a Dood. From the assist me to the future, thankyou and shine on BROTHERRRRRRRR!

I literally been watching the remake journey everyday

I'm very happy that my first experience with this remake trilogy has been with you Max, your enthusiasm and love for this series is just so infectious. While 7 has never been my favorite Final Fantasy title (that's a tie between 9 and 10), This game and its cast now holds a special place in my heart and it's because of you. Thank You.

It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You're the only guy I know who's ever been on the same wave length as me with FF VII and Remake, the things you love about it, the same exact reactions to reveals or moments in a first playthrough, I'm really grateful for that since I've always felt a lil alone in how I liked the game, it's really cool to see someone else feel nearly the exact same kinda emotions and passion I do for this stuff.

Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on. In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together. I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then. Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.

Max, I have to thank you again. You made me fall in love with this series. Even though I had never played it before. And it was strange to me because I had never had that happen before with just someone's words. I will be going dark tonight to then go looking in every inch of this world. And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.

I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!

max being happy makes me happy!

Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a KZfaqr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.

There are absolutely no videos that bring me more joy than watching Max hype over anything Ff7

I’m so happy that 3-4 years ago I decided to watch your playthroughs of the Remake. You made me one of the biggest FF7 fans and I’m glad for it. Off to the continuation of the Unknown Journey 🤗

Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁

Good stuff brotha - watching your FF7 Remake experience was THE reason I started my own content creation journey. Thank you for being You, MAX!

I love your channel for your passion of some of my favorite games. Thank for being genuine and always being so welcoming with your content. We love you Max and cannot wait to see Rebirth videos

Your final fantasy 7 content is honestly so good i cant help but smile when watching every video and stream of it from you, the pure joy and excitement is so lovely to see. thank you max for sharing you love for this game with all of us!

Preloaded and ready to go in a little under 7 hours! Will be catching up on your streams once I get a bit ahead :) Been watching you since that very first reveal 9 years ago

Your passion for FF7 is amazing, dood. I unfortunately will not be able to join, but I will definitely be watching the KZfaq VODs. I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.

I'm so hyped that it's finally here my friend!!! Following you on this 9 year journey has been an amazing experience and I really appreciate letting us come along for the ride. I can still feel the emotions from playing FF7 in 1997 as a sophomore in college. I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here. SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic video! So glad you did another one like this for Rebirth. Really sets the scene as we make way into your exciting playthrough!

4:06 how did he predict this? 😂

I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled

Watching you experience this game was probably the best content I have ever witnessed. Your reactions and love for this series shines so bright and I can't help but smile and cheer alongside you. I cannot wait to watch the next two games from your perspective.

I have rewatched all thos . Playthroughs and interviews snd theories. Your passion for it got me into this ff and it's beautiful

Been on this long journey since I played the game on my playstation 1 as a kid. Ty max for loving this game as much as us and being as excited and bringing us along on this ride and journey. Can't wait to see where this train will take us.

Didn’t expect to get another one of these but I love it! Always love retrospectives, documentaries, etc. Thanks for this one Max! Shine on!

I know each of these videos by heart, what a journey I can't wait for the next years of excitement and hype around FF7 with y'all

I cant wait to play this game. And to wach your playthrough as soon as I've finished the story. I found your channel through your reaction to the announcment of FF7 Remake and since than you are the first one to check for anything FF7 related. I love your energy and enjoy sharing the love for FF7 with someone, even if its just through your videos or streams. I wish you a lot of fun with your first playthrough in just a few hours. And everyone else as well who awaited this for so long!

Im crying dude, i love your passion for this game Max. This is my chilldhood! So ready to watch you play this game.

I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.

Thank you max!! Loved this game when I was younger, I literally shed a tear playing tifas theme in the rebirth demo, Shine on Dood and enjoy

I love you and your stream/content Max! I'm proud to say I've been a part of your community for the past 5 years or so now. While I will most likely wait to watch your playthrough after I've experienced the game for myself I hope that you and everyone have an amazing time together and that the game is all you've dreamed of and more ❤

During the height of Covid, I found your FFVII remake videos, and have watched all of this content. I remember loving the game in the past, and then it faded as I went on to other things, and stopped playing games regularly. I remember the disappointment that it wasn't on PS3, and then when I heard about it, I was all in. I have loved playing it, and since then, FFVII R and FVII have come to the top as my favorite games. You're playthroughs have been wonderful to go through. I look forward to everyone you do. Thanks for everything you have done over the years. Cant wait to play the game tonight.

Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.

Oh Max, that was absolutely beautiful. Very well done! We love you, and this is a great time for all of us to celebrate together like it's a childhood Christmas.

It's always such a joy to see these videos and your excitement about FFVII! Happy for you Max

Here with you Max, will be grabbing my copy tomorrow and so looking forward to joining you on this journey and thankful to have a content creator like you spread the joy of final fantasy 7.

I love your FF7 content Max. You are a fantastic content creator and I'm so thankful for having you in the community of the game I love most of everything! ❤️

Amazing! I've been watching you because of Ff7 and it's been really fun going in this journey with you and the fam. Thank you!

It’s been a journey Max. And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time. Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG. Thank you for being you. I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others. It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives. Everyone should at least give it a chance. It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything. *Keeping you Max, never change.*

ITS SO CLOSE!!!!! 2022 I found Remake through Max and bought the OG and played. Legendary franchise and the Rebirth hype has been so real. Can’t wait for the streams to start! Will try to catch this on twitch to join the group! I seriously can’t believe it’s finally here!

Max....this video was amazing man. I was right here for each part of those moments you showed. Seeing them 2gether like that tho was def something special. Can't wait 4 2nite to start my playrhrough. But even with that excitement, 4 my own run...I def can't wait to see your journey in Rebirth.

Your theory videos and roundtables were what got me into your channel. I would always come back after new reveals to recontextualize your theories. Now I’m an avid viewer and a new fighting game fan. I can thank you for all that. Thank you Max for all your hard work and love for gaming!

I'ts amazing to see someone react and feel about a game in such a sincere way as I do when it comes to FF7. I get goosebumps when watching your reactions to what is my favourite game. Thanks Max

I can't thank you enough for streaming/uploading your gameplays on youtube, as someone who doesn't have a PS5 and probably won't have one on the near future! I became a FF7 fan because of your chanel and your excitement for this game made ME fall in love with it. I'm so excited to experience Rebirth!!!

I can't wait to watch your playthrough, and I am grateful you are putting them up on KZfaq for me to enjoy. I will definitely be watching these, but only after I have played the portion that you have. I share your passion for this game and want to experience it for myself first. Then there is nothing better than reliving it through your gameplay and reaction! Good times are among us!

Max, man, I love this game so much, I feel incredible excitement at the prospect of experiencing what's next. I just finished Rebirth and about to start my second playthrough, and was looking around at some videos and found your channel. I don't know anyone personally who loves this game as much as I do... But you're just like me, you can't contain your excitement for what, to me, is the most important trilogy ever. I'm so glad to see you're just as enthusiastic (if not more!) than I am. Glad to know I'm not alone in this.

My feelings exactly, this journey has been wonderful❤. I look forward to watching your Rebirth playthrough after I have finished my own.

I love you guys please enjoy your journey! Getting a ps5 tonight just to play this!! So excited.

What a journey! The greatest thing about it is the intensitiy and the amount of different emotions Max has gone through and being able to understand and feel them too. I remember when I first played Remake, taking my time with it, sometimes I would stop playing and just looking at the screen listening to the it's soundtrack and feelling like I was in a dream. What a great feeling.

Since 23.12.97 i have loved final fantasy 7 And fawned over it ever since, and tomorrow I'll be there too ❤

OMG I remember watching all these videos, you gave me goosebumps again! You got me even more excited to play the game this week!!!!!!!

Awesome video. Great highs and lows. These kinds of community journeys don't happen that often, and it's really affirming to see one like this and know that there's a shared feeling even if it's with strangers. Thank you for being a focal point.

I ordered the physical edition so I won't be catching any of the streams or watching the vods here until I've gotten and played it myself, but I can't wait to experience it (sort of) alongside you and this community once it gets here just like I did with Remake! Thanks for all the years of love, positivity, and batshit (and terrifyingly accurate) theories and discussions Max!!

This just made my day, can't wait to experience the game with you! Thank you Max!!!!!!!

Max’s excitement for this has me excited to play the game more. Gonna be dope. The unknown journey comes 💯

Bless you, Max! And damn it, why did this bring tears to my eyes? I'll be hanging on every moment of your playthrough. Continue your good work, my dude!

I was part of this journey, watching every single ff7R streams during lockdown.. It was such a joy and I've been rewatching them since. Now I'm fully hyped and ready 4 years later for this second part of the adventure. I don't even have a ps5 nor did I played FF7 and the remake, I just enjoy the passion of watching it through the eyes and experience of Max.

This video is the actual illustration of the word HYPE! I can't wait to be part of this journey following you Max! Thanks for all you do!!!

Sadly I’ve never caught your streams because of my work schedule, but your FF7 vids on YT are simply the best. The genuine excitement for what’s to come is infectious and I can’t wait to continue the journey. Thank you Max dood

I've been following you since 2015 when remake first announced! I've laughed, cried and been through the high and low emotions of the ff7 rollercoaster since then! Thanks for all your streams & videos Max!

Max's happiness is so contagious man I cant wipe the smile off my face seeing this dude geek out.

Thank you for everything, Max. Thank you for introducing me to the incredible saga that is the Final Fantasy. Thank you for helping me for so long. Keep the fires going, man.

I really enjoyed watching this again, experiencing this media phenomenon with you and this community. I can't wait to watch your play through and reactions but will have to come after I reach the end. With love ❤️

I truly love this game and the excitement you show for it is amazing.

To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it. And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther. Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.

Your "Road to Remake" video makes me emotional every time I watch it. Can't wait to rewatch this video once we're all excited for the release of part 3. When I watched your playthrough of Remake, I was new to the series. I'll be playing through this game before I jump into your playthrough this time, but thank you for being the biggest reason why ff7 is my favorite game of all time.

Revisiting your FF7R videos is like opening a time capsule of emotions. Thank you Max for taking something you were passionate about and sharing it with the world. Your efforts have inspired many of us to get up everyday and chase love and happiness. Can't end this comment without also thanking the devs. Rebirth IS the greatest game I've ever played and that is entirely due to the passion and care that oozes out of it's final product. Know that if I could hug each and every staffer, I would!

Most epic fan journey I've ever seen. From one lifelong FF fan to another, thank you Max👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve been following your Final Fantasy VII journey since it started. My niece and I have had our own journey. I have been sending her a countdown everyday, for 166 days, 7 hours, 4 minutes, and 49 seconds. I can’t wait to watch you play. You embody everything it means to love this world and characters and have seen all your KZfaq videos covering the game. They’ve made the wait a thousand times more bearable.

Found you through FF7R stayed with you bc the fighting game content fell in love with yo video games thank man you make content fun watching you feels like me n the crew and the way we game you are actually a dood and I'm here for it can't wait to play Rebirth then jump to a vid to see how you engage
