Also if very hard had shirtless Seph and at around 25% hp gave him a final smash, just to add that “oh sh-“ intense/final boss feeling.

      Terry had 50 songs from across SNK's different games not just from Fatal Fury
      Steve while more minor still had music from the spin-offs so it wasn't just base Minecraft represented
      and then Final Fantasy gets nothing from anything other than 7, besides the Chocobo hat which isn't tied to a specific game. And I assume the Sephiroth spirit board will only have FF7 characters on it as well. They even finally implement a boss rush but have it locked to Sephiroth only.

      @TenderViddlez 3 года назад +2

      @@darknesswave100 How can YOU tell they don't mean it? Don't be so sure about Max because you don't know him either. He didn't even play FF7 when it came out, he thought RPG's were "for nerds" at the time and eventually played it after it was already hailed by many as THE best game ever made. He says its his favorite game, but mentions nothing about any of the other FF's in the series (bar FF11). That is VERY peculiar and HIGHLY unusual... Especially when it's supposed to be his "all time favorite" game. I vaguely remember him stating he didn't start gaming really until the PS2 era. He's two years older than me, but I grew up playing all the games from the "golden era"... (these were all the RPG's on SNES and PS1 when RPG's were the biggest genre). You mean to tell me he missed all that? I've also noticed he misses details and tidbits even about FF7 that a die hard fan would know off top. Max doesn't even discuss the lore of FF7 at all... Just the surface level stuff. Don't be so quick to say others "don't mean it when they say they love it".... because you don't know them either. Max sheds a few tears in a viral FF7R reveal reaction video and all of the sudden he's the guru? Shit doesn't add up to be honest. Good guy, but I think he's a bit opportunistic when it comes to this FF7 thing. After all, people automatically think "Max" when FF7 comes up on social media now... Pretty shocking considering "RPG's are for nerds". And that statement is pretty consistent with him considering he has a gaming channel, but doesn't play any JRPG's.
