@@FVDsame thing happened to me. In trying to get Tifa for the date scene and that really bugged me. Should have had a green exclamation mark next to Aerith so player knew talking to her progressed the story
@@justintantiongloc6987maybe i missed it but i didn’t see why he changed his mind he just kinda did? which it isn’t that big of a deal i still like the area just want sure if something happened
My sister was with me, when I reached Cosmo Canyon, and she saw the emotional impact it had on me as soon as the theme began. She said "I think we just lost you!" because I was just staring at the screen, feeling like a little kid once again. Then, later when The Promised Land played, I had to take a break. It was not the first time it happened. This game is a love letter indeed. The devs understand everything, they know how and where to hit. This is just great. All of this is great. I am not done with the game yet, but I enjoy every second of it, even the annoying parts like flying a chocobo through circles, because I can spend time with those characters I love so much
Same.. I just beat the game Saturday, took my sweet ass time. Took 147hrs to complete the whole thing and I can’t wait to do it all over again. I made myself go ahead and finish the game before I ended up getting spoiled online.. Enjoy your play through friend. It’s such a wonderful experience.
The Cosmo Canyon theme hit me right in the emotional core. The OG theme was already among my personal pantheon of greatest RPG music of all time, so hearing it remade so faithfully made me smile so much.
it's crazy how much love is put into this game. This isn't your standard triple A game, this is a game made by people who love FF7. Half of the amazing stuff in this game didn't need to be here. yet here we are
And yet they put godamn Chadley in there. This game focuses on the wrong things and shows that graphics does not mean alot in the end, I will still have a way more profound experience from playing the original.
The meme Chadley hate is so forced. He's not even a bad character to interact with. Y'all only say all of this weird stuff because your favorite streamers said it 🤦 @@HLl564
I am SO HAPPY with how they've worked out the characters of Tifa and Aerith especially. They've spent decades being reduced to "the sexy one" and "the innocent one", and now both of them are such well-rounded, nuanced women who have had their own personal journeys expanded upon. I was giddy when they were shown having Girl Talks and generally acting like real people 🥰
@@TheIceLurkerthat’s an insane take. There are so many instances of Tifa dealing with her insecurities and working on her confidence. She’s one of the most relatable characters
Max's final stream of this game was crazy seeing him looking through old trailers and piece the story together at the end and realize that they Cooked the story for this for years like 20 years it's actually incredible how far back they were teasing the story and nobody knew. The 20 Year Cook is crazy.
So I had gone on complete media black out all month. Unsubbed from Max channel to avoid spoilers. I had assumed he finished the game already! So Saturday night after I finish the game for the first time I immediately hopped on Twitch so I could see his reaction and to my complete shock, he had just finished the game. We probably finished the game around the exact same time lol
I teared up at the Cosmo Canyon theme and then again when the Planetarium cutscene played. The devs are absolutely in tune with the fans…in most regards. I’ve still got my problems with this game but overall an incredible experience. And half of that is the music which is just ridiculously on point.
I like how Cosmo Canyon's open world area music has a wild West theme. Red's voice reveal was amazing because we remember that Red is still technically a kid (16 years old) despite his age being 48.
The voice is awful and overdone like everything else in this game. I'd rather watch another 10 hours of Chadly fetch quest filler than listen to 1 minute of Red's Sonic impression.
@@Ace20A it's up there with Sephiroths AI generated bad guy dialogue, the fart ghosts showing up and swirling around every other scene, and anything Chadly.
I just hit chapter 9 with 60 hours in total. Colored every inch of the maps possible leading up to where I'm at, completed every zone area for Chadley and such. This game is absolutely huge.
35 seconds. I think this is the earliest I've even been for a Max video. I've been enjoying following your playthrough Max! I hope you enjoy the ride!!
The Advent Children song at the inn caught me off guard on the first playthrough. It took me a while to remember what it was but knew I heard it before.
Same here. I was about to leave the inn, then heard a few notes. I came back and listened to it for like 5 minutes straight. In case you were wondering, the title is "The Promised Land".
I bought the vinyl! Waited until after I beat the game to listen to it.. Gotta say I’m a bit bummed at the tracks they decided to put on it, “On Our Way” “Farm Boy” “Chadley Theme” “Grasslands de Chocobo” “Junon” “Under Junon” & “Materia Guardian”. It’s a cool collectors item but wtf why put Chadley Theme? Farm Theme? Both Junon themes? Was hoping I’d get Jenova, City of Ancients, Gongaga, Cosmo Canyon.. Hell I would’ve loved if they put the Queens Blood track on there.. Such a weird choice of tracks to put on the vinyl Square..
@@JudasLegion666 that doesn't raise tifas IQ though. Real astrophysicists are ignorant in many subjects that aren't astrophysics. Look at Neil degrasse Tyson, for example. Or mechanical engineer bill bye, being ignorant about climate science.
I would argue that these 3 games have all been developed together and what took this game so long was the fact that they had to create such a GIGANTIC world. I'm anticipating the 3rd game, unless they do the same damn thing for the northern crater, Wutai, Mideel and the ocean shouldn't take 4 years to get out
To be fair, those four years were probably mostly spent stopping the game from falling apart because of all the stuff they managed to put in than creating more assets for it. 😂
Cosmo Canyon, the music and the stories within hit me like a ton of bricks, such an excellent crafted area that I had been looking forward to ever since I started the game and it didn't disappoint.
What is sad to me is that every fan of other FF titles will probably never have this feeling of seeing a remake on this scale to the favorite FF (mine is 6). Because even I can see this is the best FF maybe since the classics. Crazy game.
57:55 Max Mittelman is absolutely PHENOMENAL as Nanaki! Both of his voices for Red are perfect for the character. Also I couldn’t help but hear King from Seven Deadly Sins when Nanaki used his real voice.
Bernard: "Hello, sir! Care to tell the folks at home who you are?" Cloud: "Yeah, hi. I'm a... um, terrorist... eco-terrorist. Very wanted. Killed many. Love card games."
I've been playing like 4-5 hours ahead of you and watching your gameplay videos afterwards so you can explain what the hell just happened and what you got and I didn't. I can agree its been fun so far :D
Well Max's predictions about Boogie knowing everything was incorrect but doesn't take away from the game. They just treated him like an old man who is stuck in his ways and not so much informed as we'd hoped he would be.
That Bugenhagen didn’t know everything though still was a pretty important detail with how these timelines/worlds were connected and who all had omni-knowledge and who didn’t. Sometimes the absence of something can tell just as much if not more than said thing being there.
Buddy I really started crying, when I first entered CC. The Ost drop, and the whole atmosphere. Took me back to my childhood, playing the OG version not knowing what I was doing back then😂
The glow up for Cosmo Canyon is insane. This was probably my favorite town in the game outside of Costa Del Sol all because of the story stuff that takes place there. Aerith's story to the people during the festival was truly SPECIAL.
The graphics of that game are works of art and works of art stand up. Its polished in style not realism. This game is so frustrating thats its a piece of shit of a game, yes game. You have a open world with nothing in it but padding and sats to touch a button to touch a crytals 30hrs and the next intallment doing the same shit. Yes this gane its unbelievable that cosmo canyon one of my fav places has fucking chadley in it. its packed full of npc i dont give a fuck about. Its a fucking holiday resort where the music is interupted by chatter.. People here are fucking delusion. The game shit the characters we love are great the graphics were never a thing. People just wanted to see more it come to life. And here it is coming to life and being ruined by bs. No give me pre rendered cinematic backgrounds like rdr2 and im fucking fine. And red 13 voice completly fucked this up for me... Wtf
@maxdood I hope at some point during your visit in Cosmo Canyon, that you had a moment to visit the Syldra Inn, just to the right of the stairs that took you up to the materia shop... there is some 'music' that plays in there I am sure you would appreciate in the lobby...
I’ve been going for the platinum and I’m 125 hours in still not done with all the mini games and only in chapter 3 for hard mode. This game is insane. If it’s not game of the year I’m never watching an award show again lmao
1:10:10 Tiger Fangs were in the big room you had to fill with water in the Gongaga reactor. There was a small passage in the upper corner in the room you had to move the cube to plug in the computer 🤘🏻
I don't know why, but once I got here to Cosmo Canyon the magnitude of this game finally hit me. I had tears streaming down my face as I slow walked through the town listening to the NPC convos. The level of love and care that went into this was a gut punch I just wasn't prepared for.
its amusing for all the time max spends just walking around and looking at places, he misses a lot of weapons XD not a bad thing or a complaint just funny at the end of my run i actually missed one, cait sith's resounding megaphone. looking at the info of where it was make me a bit less surprised i missed it
Hearing the Cosmo canyon song literally brought me to tears it just took me back to when I was a kid playing the original. Ive never had a video game take you through a emotional roller coaster like this one and remake for the matter of fact.
^^^^ I just want to say, my internet handle has always been Bugen ever since the late 90s because I was such a big fan of Red XIII's grandfather, Bugenhagen.
When you went on about aerith being from the future with sephiroth in your finale on twitch, I'm not so sure, as if you see reds event on the ferris wheel at the golden saucer he says that in midgar both him and aerith could see the future whilst they were in hojo's lab
I absolutely LOVE how the soundtrack integrated different traditional folk instruments into each city/area themes, it really helps give them even more identity and scale
Outside the seminar is my favourite background talk, where the guy claims he has become so in tune with the planet that he can hear animals speak, and he even recently heard a dog creature clearly saying “I’m back!”
Crazy how massive this game is, and there is still at least 3, maybe 4 major locations left. Heck, maybe more if Wutai is in this game (following blind, please don’t spoil).
The Griffon on 01:30:00, Replaces a Card and Adds its power to another ally in the Red mark on the card. Which is diagonally on top right of whichever you're replacing. It's my go to for Destroy and Enhance combo.
The Kaboom ability from the red megaphone is when I decided to try using Cait Sith more. I still don't fully get how to use him but it's helped a lot being able to activate that upgrade.
Except for Tifa, Max doesn't seem to know these characters as well as he thinks he does. Every conversation with anyone besides Tifa he either chooses the wrong option or the meh answers that slightly increases their trust. He poorly hides his favoritism for Tifa, and it shows way too often. I treated the whole party equally in my initial playthrough, everyone had an 80% in favorability toward Cloud after I was done.
@@MarcRodriguez1 Yet, earlier in his playthrough he claimed he was "trying" to get Aerith for lore reasons because of what happens later. If Max were playing as Cloud, he would treat both women equally because Cloud likes them both. Instead, he has been not so discretely favoring Tifa over Aerith.
One would assume that Cait Sith would be sympathetic with the Planetologist being the most resonable Shirna executive, but when they tell you, "You are nothing everlasting" that REALLY tick him the wrong way
Are the vods for everything that happens after this video available? Not sure I want to wait for the RUclips uploads if he’s actually finished it already. Especially if some of the videos are gonna be dedicated to side quests near the end.
This was goddamn magical! A 'marriage proposal' indeed. Got kind of teary-eyed seeing Buga-baby's planetarium. I also love seeing Max react to all this stuff with such genuine love and awe.
Max JUST beat the game a few hours ago as of writing this. For context this episode takes us to hour 68, and Max finished just under 130 hours. … we are barely halfway through
Wow, he's in Cosmo here and there's still another half to go. I'm pumped because I'm around this part too and I want this game to last a lot longer still.
1:46:11 haha I was wondering if anyone else would catch the Little Mermaid reference. When Max caught it I went “YES!!”. Such a cool reference and an incredible attention to detail.
Ngl, after the immediate overwhelming emotion of getting to Cosmo Canyon with the theme and everything, the NPCs gave me this eerie feeling of being stuck in the middle of a cultist stronghold...😅
Yes! And everytime they referred to themselves as planetologists I couldn’t help but associate Scientologists and just think of them all as effin nuts. 😂

I'm anticipating the 3rd game, unless they do the same damn thing for the northern crater, Wutai, Mideel and the ocean shouldn't take 4 years to get out
I was thinking, "They didn't need to go this hard" at pretty much every area of this game.
To be fair, those four years were probably mostly spent stopping the game from falling apart because of all the stuff they managed to put in than creating more assets for it. 😂
Cosmo Canyon, the music and the stories within hit me like a ton of bricks, such an excellent crafted area that I had been looking forward to ever since I started the game and it didn't disappoint.
What is sad to me is that every fan of other FF titles will probably never have this feeling of seeing a remake on this scale to the favorite FF (mine is 6). Because even I can see this is the best FF maybe since the classics. Crazy game.

Ah, the serenity and splendor of the moment. It's beautif..
"There! IT IS TIME!!!"
Yes, thank you miss. I can see. Thank you.
57:55 Max Mittelman is absolutely PHENOMENAL as Nanaki! Both of his voices for Red are perfect for the character.
Also I couldn’t help but hear King from Seven Deadly Sins when Nanaki used his real voice.
Every once in a while I'll hear ol' Ryuji in there. I just wanted one "For real!?"
Its the same guy??? Wooooow
@@DoomsdayMayBeOkay I kept thinking “why does that high pitched voice sound so familiar” then I remembered KING.
Bernard: "Hello, sir! Care to tell the folks at home who you are?"
Cloud: "Yeah, hi. I'm a... um, terrorist... eco-terrorist. Very wanted. Killed many. Love card games."
My god at Barret's reaction 58:58. Goddamn hilarious lmao
a Don Corneo impression😂
I've been playing like 4-5 hours ahead of you and watching your gameplay videos afterwards so you can explain what the hell just happened and what you got and I didn't. I can agree its been fun so far :D
Cloud and that Terminator smile 😂
1:45:11
You could see Spira with that telescope 😶
Well Max's predictions about Boogie knowing everything was incorrect but doesn't take away from the game. They just treated him like an old man who is stuck in his ways and not so much informed as we'd hoped he would be.
Maybe part 3 he’ll know more after coming to his old ways realization in this game.
That Bugenhagen didn’t know everything though still was a pretty important detail with how these timelines/worlds were connected and who all had omni-knowledge and who didn’t. Sometimes the absence of something can tell just as much if not more than said thing being there.
He seemed pretty informed; just not willing to admit that the information was correct.
This game had me in nostalgic chills and tears the whole way through. 20/10 game.
Red's real voice reminds me of simba from lion king.
I cried when i walked into Cosmo canyon and the music kicking in
Buddy I really started crying, when I first entered CC. The Ost drop, and the whole atmosphere. Took me back to my childhood, playing the OG version not knowing what I was doing back then😂
The glow up for Cosmo Canyon is insane. This was probably my favorite town in the game outside of Costa Del Sol all because of the story stuff that takes place there. Aerith's story to the people during the festival was truly SPECIAL.
I'm in love with Cosmo Canyon,
Maybe the best area in the game for me
コスタ・デル・ソルが最高です❤
@@user-xd3in9qv3yCosta del Sol 2nd best ;-)
I don’t get why people complain about the graphics, I played the OG ff7 game and the graphics now are crazy good.
The graphics of that game are works of art and works of art stand up. Its polished in style not realism.
This game is so frustrating thats its a piece of shit of a game, yes game. You have a open world with nothing in it but padding and sats to touch a button to touch a crytals 30hrs and the next intallment doing the same shit.
Yes this gane its unbelievable that cosmo canyon one of my fav places has fucking chadley in it.
its packed full of npc i dont give a fuck about. Its a fucking holiday resort where the music is interupted by chatter..
People here are fucking delusion. The game shit the characters we love are great the graphics were never a thing. People just wanted to see more it come to life.
And here it is coming to life and being ruined by bs.
No give me pre rendered cinematic backgrounds like rdr2 and im fucking fine.
And red 13 voice completly fucked this up for me... Wtf
The Cosmo canyon theme has always had a special place in my heart. To rehear it with these visuals is almost to much
This place is Sedona, Arizona. Red rocks and proximity to the Grand Canyon. Full of crystals and vortexes and everything.
@maxdood I hope at some point during your visit in Cosmo Canyon, that you had a moment to visit the Syldra Inn, just to the right of the stairs that took you up to the materia shop... there is some 'music' that plays in there I am sure you would appreciate in the lobby...
I’ve been going for the platinum and I’m 125 hours in still not done with all the mini games and only in chapter 3 for hard mode. This game is insane. If it’s not game of the year I’m never watching an award show again lmao
And than you have to replay the story on hard..
I LOVE CAIT SITH SO MUCH, HE WAS SO TIRED, HE HAD TO SLEEP
Haha "Wow, dude. Bugenhagen's fuckin' HOUSE."
1:10:10 Tiger Fangs were in the big room you had to fill with water in the Gongaga reactor. There was a small passage in the upper corner in the room you had to move the cube to plug in the computer 🤘🏻
I don't know why, but once I got here to Cosmo Canyon the magnitude of this game finally hit me. I had tears streaming down my face as I slow walked through the town listening to the NPC convos. The level of love and care that went into this was a gut punch I just wasn't prepared for.
Did they ever explain what Buggenhagen was riding around on?? Looks like a giant orb of support materia.
its amusing for all the time max spends just walking around and looking at places, he misses a lot of weapons XD not a bad thing or a complaint just funny
at the end of my run i actually missed one, cait sith's resounding megaphone. looking at the info of where it was make me a bit less surprised i missed it
1:39:13 I always dreamed of Bunge house was like this
I spent so long refusing to acknowledge Destruct decks, until i realized how broken you can get. Nothing like scoring over 100 points in one game.
The first time i saw Cosmo Canyon, I had so much emotions.
Not gonna lie, went back to the vod to see the rest because I really wanted to see what happens next
literally was about to comemnt the same thing, can't wait anymore just watching twitch vods!
Unless you did that before this video, idk how you're at the end of the video considering he just uploaded this 15 minutes ago
I've finished all the vods and I'm just waiting for the end later today.
@@BearWith_You twitch not youtube
@@DavidsonMoslak Yeah and Im saying how could they possibly of watched the video already to wanna go watch on Twitch
Hearing the Cosmo canyon song literally brought me to tears it just took me back to when I was a kid playing the original. Ive never had a video game take you through a emotional roller coaster like this one and remake for the matter of fact.
The next part is gonna be a good one. Nanaki backstory and overall story arc.
That Cosmo Canyon theme song fucking slaps!
^^^^ I just want to say, my internet handle has always been Bugen ever since the late 90s because I was such a big fan of Red XIII's grandfather, Bugenhagen.
I really hope he checks the hotel in Cosmo Canyon, he is for a surprise hehe.
I cried so much during the entire cosmo canyon storyline progression. It was everything I hoped it would be! Red's voice actor nailed it!
When you went on about aerith being from the future with sephiroth in your finale on twitch, I'm not so sure, as if you see reds event on the ferris wheel at the golden saucer he says that in midgar both him and aerith could see the future whilst they were in hojo's lab
I absolutely LOVE how the soundtrack integrated different traditional folk instruments into each city/area themes, it really helps give them even more identity and scale
Outside the seminar is my favourite background talk, where the guy claims he has become so in tune with the planet that he can hear animals speak, and he even recently heard a dog creature clearly saying “I’m back!”
Crazy how massive this game is, and there is still at least 3, maybe 4 major locations left. Heck, maybe more if Wutai is in this game (following blind, please don’t spoil).
The Griffon on 01:30:00, Replaces a Card and Adds its power to another ally in the Red mark on the card. Which is diagonally on top right of whichever you're replacing.
It's my go to for Destroy and Enhance combo.
Watching max play QB is the most frustrating part of these 😂
The Kaboom ability from the red megaphone is when I decided to try using Cait Sith more. I still don't fully get how to use him but it's helped a lot being able to activate that upgrade.
Have 160 hours in this game adored every minute.
No spoilers but this man got a checkpoint I didn't know existed in the final boss fight, I was stunned
Aerith is precious!
I’m so ready for your story analysis Max, blow us away like you did when you finish Remake! Lol 👏🙌
Lol of all places, you just didn't visit the hotel for the advent children music, that is where i got goosebumps 😂
The bar with the choir is amazing
staff retention is one of the biggest reasons that they were able to do it in 4 yrs 80 % of remake staff stayed on to work on rebirth
The glasses he have actually look kinda cool ngl
Except for Tifa, Max doesn't seem to know these characters as well as he thinks he does. Every conversation with anyone besides Tifa he either chooses the wrong option or the meh answers that slightly increases their trust. He poorly hides his favoritism for Tifa, and it shows way too often. I treated the whole party equally in my initial playthrough, everyone had an 80% in favorability toward Cloud after I was done.
In a previous vod, Max said he’s trying to play as if he is Cloud. He’s not trying to 100% (at least not this playthrough) he’s in it for the story.
@@MarcRodriguez1 Yet, earlier in his playthrough he claimed he was "trying" to get Aerith for lore reasons because of what happens later. If Max were playing as Cloud, he would treat both women equally because Cloud likes them both. Instead, he has been not so discretely favoring Tifa over Aerith.
I'm glad this got uploaded. The patch from two days ago bugged my Ultimate Party Animal quest and I'm sick of the G-Bike minigame.
One would assume that Cait Sith would be sympathetic with the Planetologist being the most resonable Shirna executive, but when they tell you, "You are nothing everlasting" that REALLY tick him the wrong way
Christ this game is gorgeous
I cried when I got here.
I’d love if a side quest explained why the fuck he’s floating and how he’s the way he is. He’s a complete mystery in OG game and this
That orb has got to be the one Float materia in existence, I'm convinced
2:11:29 this was the first and last time I heard Earth in this game instead of Gaia
Are the vods for everything that happens after this video available? Not sure I want to wait for the RUclips uploads if he’s actually finished it already. Especially if some of the videos are gonna be dedicated to side quests near the end.
All vods are on twitch.
This was goddamn magical! A 'marriage proposal' indeed. Got kind of teary-eyed seeing Buga-baby's planetarium. I also love seeing Max react to all this stuff with such genuine love and awe.
Bugenhagen kind of a passive aggressive POS
Max JUST beat the game a few hours ago as of writing this.
For context this episode takes us to hour 68, and Max finished just under 130 hours.
… we are barely halfway through
Wow, he's in Cosmo here and there's still another half to go. I'm pumped because I'm around this part too and I want this game to last a lot longer still.
130?! Holy hell lol, thats like 17-4 hr episodes lol i wont be finished until like late April/May Lets gooooooo
Nostalgia hit me like a truck when I heard the cosmo canyon ost again.
Dang I have 170 hours in and I'm finished, and I'm ready to see Maximilian get to all the super awesome stuff! I'm here for the reactions, man!!
The Easter Egg in the hotel gave me goosebumps
1:04:26 Straight up Dinkleburg energy on how he says his name
1:46:11 haha I was wondering if anyone else would catch the Little Mermaid reference. When Max caught it I went “YES!!”. Such a cool reference and an incredible attention to detail.
Ngl, after the immediate overwhelming emotion of getting to Cosmo Canyon with the theme and everything, the NPCs gave me this eerie feeling of being stuck in the middle of a cultist stronghold...😅
Yes! And everytime they referred to themselves as planetologists I couldn’t help but associate Scientologists and just think of them all as effin nuts. 😂
Yep, same 😂 this is why I would prefer living in Gongaga instead of Cosmo Canyon. That and the heights. Yeesh.
I had goosebumps too Max at 1:00:00. Absolute nostalgia hit. 😢
Ahhh shit bro when that Cosmo Canyon music hits!!! damn!! this game is incredible bro
