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.

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 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!!

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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 !

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

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

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 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!!!

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.

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.

This dude really deserves the legacy streamer award!

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.

I literally been watching the remake journey everyday

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!

max being happy makes me happy!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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! 😁😁😁

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!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

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.

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.

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’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 🤗

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

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

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'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

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

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

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!

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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.

We love you Max, only a few more hours to go! Can't wait for Rebirth! ❤

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.*

I will never tire of Max's just LOVE and reaction to this series.

somebody who love this game as much as I do, I can't help but cry experiencing this journey with you and all of our brothers and sisters

The only thing better than playing a new chapter in this amazing remix series is playing it alongside Max!

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.

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.

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! ❤️

This is a beautiful montage that mirrors my thoughts exactly. Remake changed me. Thank you.

I will meet this game, like last time, with you, Max. Thank you

This dude joy ,positive energy and ever ongoing passion is like the Omnislash , the Limit that break your depression and put a smile on your face no matter how much Hp your depression have. Max is THE dude.

This is one of those I will come back and watch every few years for the rest of my life... Thanks Max.

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

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.

Tonight my dreams come true, the dream of walking from midgar to kalm and seeing how it looks like instead of imagining it. I was a smal child when i played ff7 og. And this game has followed me all my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you square enix for making my dream a reality. ❤❤❤ And thank you Max for making me feel like im not alone of loving this game with everything i have.

Max alone made me a Final Fantasy fan and of the RPG genre. That video of his journey to FF7 Remake is where it all started for me, and now I'm happy to have been a part of it!

Getting so close now. Been watching for so many years and can't believe we're at part 2 now. What a journey we've all been on so far.

This is why you won the legacy award, the passion you have is infectious and I can’t wait to see your play through

Its been a long journey…. Although it isn’t over yet, we are SO ready for what is about to come

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

I’d binge watched a lot of Max’s old FF7 stuff, so this felt recent to me and it’s crazy to see how spaced out they actually were, and the excitement building up over time!

This video, like all of Max's FF7 videos... has me crying. Ty Max for letting us join you on this amazing journey!

Oh gosh I'm gonna cry, what a journey it's been. ❤ I've personally been waiting since beating the original then crisis core around 2009

This remake project has brought me so much joy over the years. Even now, it continues to give and give and give. I found Max and his channel through it. Rebirth alone qualifies for the word, but the entire experience of all of this combined has been nothing short of magical. What they are doing with this game is beyond words. After having my own freak out moments during the game, my first thought is always, "I gotta see how Max reacts to that scene." 😅

I could say this journey with Max was amazing, but it's not even over yet. It only just begun! Let's go!

It's wild that I can love a game series that I never played and it's all thanks to you thank you Max for showing me how cool Final Fantasy 7 truly is.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful, can't wait for the final part of not only the trilogy, but also Max's journey

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

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE ONLY A FEW HOURS AWAY FROM REBIRTH!!! IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS DAY LOL. WAITING TO OPEN PRESENTS WITH MAX.

And what a journey it was. I gotta say remake 7 was a triumphant experience start to finish. One of the best ive ever played. Filled with love and passion throughout. You genuinely can feel the love here in this game its truly heart warming 👍.

Thank you Max, for letting us join you on this crazy journey of one of the best franchises in the world. Beyond excited to play, and watch you play, Rebirth soon. Let's fucking go.

Oh god, this video brought me to tears, this journey has truly been incomparable, and I can't believe is about to continue

The road to rebirth has been incredible, can’t wait until 4 years from now when we can finally see the end of this wonderful trilogy.

Dood, your FF7 content has been a guilty pleasure of mine for many years. Can't wait to get this party started on Rebirth tonight!

Love you, Doods. Enjoy your unknown journeys; thanks, Max and co!

Max my love for 7 knows no bounds, but you and your videos have made it infinity better along the journey.

You know what, as well watching Max's videos i equally enjoy reading comments and other fans stories. FF7 has and always have a place in my heart, duno what it is but i love evrything and every second of it. Glad my dad just randomly picked up a £50 game in 1997 and a half and handed it over to me, i didnt ask for it i didnt know what it was, i probably didnt deserve it, i didnt have a memeory card, the 1 hour game time i got each play sess i would just try to get past a little further than last time to see something new or read a new dialogue. The struggle was real for about 6 months until i got a memory card. My dad still to this day doesnt realise what he done for me back then, greatest game of all time.

I don’t have a means to play these games so I live vicariously through Max’s playthroughs. I love his reactions and his theories. I cannot wait to watch and experience the other games with him.

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

You're living the dream, man!! And you totally deserve it!!

I love this kind of videos❤ it’s been 6-7 years for me since I found max because of ffvii😊 I’m so happy to be here

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 ❤

I don't know why but seeing these videos where Max gets genuinely happy seeing FFVII stuff always makes me wanna cry haha
