What's your favorite Scene from Final Fantasy VII? Check out my main channel with over 100K Subs! Follow my Twitch, I'm playing Final Fantasy VII Remake LIVE tonight!: twitch.tv/philiphartshorn
When the main title screen started playing. I cried in such happiness that it quite frankly was so unreal. Was four years old when my parents got it and Re2. Just beautiful
@@PhilipHarts not to mention I appreciate you and Maximilan Dood's fantastic energy. Glad to see you doing well, and brother lets enjoy this masterpiece!
@@PhilipHarts tell me about im on chapter 5 now and wow even after doing all the current sidequest it i cant get enough of it its a real beauty and i cant wait to see your response as a film maker standpoint.
I love the sheer passion of guys like maximillion dood, but the well measured professional opinion is an amazing perspective to view this game from as well. After beating this game and having no one to talk too about it as the two other people I know playing it, haven’t beat it yet...being able to view both channels and getting both perspectives has been amazing.
After the very first encounter you level up toooooooo "Lvl 7" - just like the original. Nice touch. Also HOLY S**T you have the Tifa Theme - EU so I can't get it and now my heart bleeds.
I dont think anyone can ever be prepared for any piece of media to have such a profound impact on them and us longtime fans most of us probably played this in our formative years so the way we now see our world is partly influenced by what we saw of this world... me personally i learned about loss from this game it was literally the first time i felt real loss.... a few years later i experienced the loss of family member for the first time and i believe this game helped me to process and get though that time in my life..
That’s beautiful! Love that mindset and it makes sense! I’m so glad we can all connect on this! Such an important message to share, FF7 means a lot to us.
Hmm. It's understandable that you're a bit blown away just like everyone of us when seeing it first time, but honestly speaking there's very little filmmaker commentary here. I mean, it's not a problem in a strict sense, but it's also kinda what this series is marketed with. I like how you mentioned you're not ready to see the 7th Heaven, somehow it feels like all my favourite FF7R commentators have said the exact same thing about this game. Jessie has thrown a serious wrench in the virtual GF discussion.
i love the artistry that while barrett is giving his big speech about the cause and being there for his crew the backdrop is the burning ruins of the sector they destroyed while the Shinra theme plays, it raises those questions about could Avalanche be the villains because from an ignorant third party view they look like villains because they are quite literally terrorists, juxtaposed with the fact theyre the protagonists and we know its more complex
13:20... pretty dark how cloud kills the guy that can help identify him before he leaps into the train. Of all the playthroughs I have seen I have yet to hear anyone comment on that. To me that, coupled with Reno and Johnny paint cloud as a pretty violent and troubled young man.
Did they add in new scenes? Some of the things I'm seeing here, I can't remember seeing when I played it. Like the paramedics and Sephiroth when meeting Aerith.
I really like your reactions and the analysis - but I would like to see less hard cuts in your playthroughs. I know we always talk a lot on Twitch, which of course should be cut out. Even in normal fights you don't miss much and it's not bad if something is missing. But I find it sad that key scenes and dialogues are missing or cut out. Also because I was very hoping to see your reaction at certain moments - and of all things those are missing. ;) Nevertheless I will not stop "looking up" all the things I missed. See you soon on Twitch and keep up your great work! ^^
Actually incorrect, he know Cloud's face because he was in the same training section as Cloud in the past, while both were still the same cadets. And this officer was still inside Midgar when the other sent to hunt Zack. He never sent outside of Midgar.
5:07 “this is the first boss, wonder what the end boss will be...” Just slightly bigger. Just a touch longer in duration. Just slightly more dramatic. Just a smidge more epic.
Everyone ive watched play has had these excited jaw on the floor reactions to hoping off the train and seeing the slums and the plate overhead..... it may sound strange but it feels natural to me like im not seeing it for the first time its like familiar to me as if i been seeing it just like this all my life.... i know im weird ;P but this game feels like home....
@@PhilipHarts that's not really what I meant it wasn't surprising for me I wasn't like oh my God look at this I was more like this is what it's supposed to look like if it had looked like anything else then I'd be disappointed there was nothing for me to react to in a shocking manner because it was exactly what I thought it was going to look like..... the feeling I got when I first saw the slums in the plate overhead is kind of hard to describe..
I'm still pissed that you got that background design :D But jest aside :d How will that game look on the PS5 or the PC? Real UHD or QHD with 60 fps? 11:49 - 11:50 (but the whole scene) Did you notices how perfect the soundtrack into changed to the battle theme? I just get goosebumps remembering it 😲
Not sure if you are going to see this phil but try running up to the npcs a bit. Thy have quite a few lines to them. Some have nothing, others have one but a lot have 2-5 different lines of dialogue. Thees actually a lot of interesting things to learn that just makes this place even more alive.

Your voices of the planet prediction was spot on and pointing out how forced sephiroths couce was in AC was perfect. I felt the same way.
.......Seph Pining Down Cloud It was kinda Hot and smexy! >:D
Sephiroth used to give me the chills when I was a kid. I’m a grown ass man in my late 20’s and he still does o_O. Love the commentary by the way XD
When the main title screen started playing. I cried in such happiness that it quite frankly was so unreal. Was four years old when my parents got it and Re2. Just beautiful
I feel this too. So real for me, something about seeing the buster sword made it all real and it hit me hard... Can't wait to play more in a few mins
@@PhilipHarts not to mention I appreciate you and Maximilan Dood's fantastic energy. Glad to see you doing well, and brother lets enjoy this masterpiece!
Tifa's theme hits me like a ton of bricks. I don't know why, but it makes me feel so vulnerable, like I need hug or something.
YES, I always need a hug whenever Tifa is on screen lol she is too much!
omg you're playthrough is gonna be amazing, watching your react to and analzye the game. Hopefully it'll be a full playthrough!

The great commentary has led me to your Twitch and have watched this vod even though I've already played lol. Fantastic cinematic game!
Amazing! Thank you so much!! I’ll be live again tonight and we can all discuss together!

Dude became an instant fan, saw 3 videos. Well said and awesome perspectives. ✌🏾
Still can’t believe I’m playing FF7 remake... it must be a dream right???
Please continue this through the end of the game!! Your commentary is wonderful sir!
Thank you so much! Doing the full FF vii remake play through on my twitch and then uploading here!
@@PhilipHarts glad to hear you are uploading it here since its hard for me to watch streams all the time i usually end up missing them.
The security Officer was recognized Cloud face, not the Buster Sword. Cloud was one of Security Officer (as Infantrymen role) in the past.
"I hit him so hard, he returned to the planet."
That just made my day. 😂🤣
been loving this game. seriously man, it's gorgeous! combat is SO fun too.
After the very first encounter you level up toooooooo "Lvl 7" - just like the original. Nice touch.
Also HOLY S**T you have the Tifa Theme - EU so I can't get it and now my heart bleeds.
Yessss the TIfa theme is life, I HAD to get it!

Wish you had more views mate. I really appreciate your perspective, both as a complete fuckin' nerd and as a film maker.
Thank you! You guys commenting etc really does help!!

Something to point out is, listen to Shinra's speech when he had Barret at gunpoint and compare it to Barret's speech. Notice how similar they are?
I had a stupid smile on my face the whole time I played it on the first day

“It’s like this train.... it can only go where it’s rails take it.”
I was bummed they cut that quote out...
So far i loved chapter 2 when the battle theme kicks in. Badass epic section with chopper following you. Just started chapter 3 so not too far in yet.

I cut out much less after this video to show more cutscenes
@@PhilipHarts Yeah, I recognized it. Am in Part 3 now :) So enjoyable!
Whats cool is Sephiroth only showed up to try and stop Cloud meeting Aerith but the Whispers stopped her from leaving until she meets him.
Wow. Your right. I didn't notice that he knew the sword. He must be one of security officers that killed Zack.
Actually incorrect, he know Cloud's face because he was in the same training section as Cloud in the past, while both were still the same cadets. And this officer was still inside Midgar when the other sent to hunt Zack. He never sent outside of Midgar.

Agreed. Everyone is losing their minds for good reason.

this is the greatest game of all time again. imo
greatest story ever told
God damn! Sephiroth is like a basketball center! 🤣
He’s bigger than that haha he’s like Hagrid from Harry Potter size
@@PhilipHarts Holy shit! Every Sephiroth scenes with Cloud makes him looked like a Hobbit 😂
Barret is Shaq XD Sephiroth is Yao
Sephiroth!!!!!!!!!!
The legend!! Can’t believe how well he’s depicted here - by far the most fantastic representation of Sephiroth ever
Stupid game. Making me fall in love with Jessie like that. SQUARE ENIX YOU BASTARDS!!!
