The more I've tried to think about it like this, the more incorrect it feels... I mean, purist fans don't really have all that much say on the matter of whether or not Remake should be an exact copy of the original, and even the purists have acknowledged that many of the changes are for the better (with most of them only complaining about the inclusion of the Whispers and the themes and narrative devices that they brought into the mix)... I can see why some people feel that the Whispers are a representation of purists, but to me they feel far more like representations of something far more abstract, like creative limitations imposed by the original game, rather than a specific group of people...
This is a masterclass example of how to manage player expectation. You come into this boss fight thinking "i can just roll and slash my way to victory" and then the game tells you: I will force you to change your strategy, doesn't work pal. I hit a massive wall first time fighting Reno and afterwards I came to realize the importance of blocking, counter and atb management! The game taught me to be a better and more assertive player. Plus the music is absolutely fantastic! Best boss fight imho
I played the first part of the game but then for some reason didn’t touch it for a year. When I got to Reno I didn’t know what the hell to do and it took a painful amount of time for me to realize there was a block button 💀💀
I was so happy they kept the "You're gonna catch Holy Hell!" line...albeit they transferred it to Aerith but honestly that makes it even more hilarious
The music isn't just a remix, it's an adaptation specifically for the new imagery. This is *the* theme for a couple regular guys so badass they spend half a fight just walking around and observing the target.
1:31 "so, you had enough yet?" "no, I don't believe that I have". The damn cutscenes, narration, music, boss fight give me chills. This game is just perfect
@@Killer_Kris7 I would assume because you don't fight Sephiroth this early in the original game. But goddamn I really don't care about that. I got chills up and down my spine when that song kicked in. The boss fight itself was incredible too!
I'm gonna miss my guy Quinton Flynn as the voice of Reno, but it seems that, in order to hit the reset button on what everyone already knows, they had to start with someone new for all these crucial roles to offset some of the silliness that Advent Children set. The new voice of Reno, the new theme, and the game play during this specific battle do this really well.
For real, aren't the Turks basically superhuman? Since they're fighting on par with a SOLDIER, or at least someone with the strength of one. Though I guess Cloud was about to win...
I hadn't played FF7 since college in like 1998 or whatever it was. But these themes all came right back to me instantly and good lord did they hit hard. All of them. Like the entire game. What they did with the regular battle music was just absolutely off the charts. One of the very best sound tracks in gaming history. Its right up there with Symphony of the Night and Mario Galaxy 2 (yes, Mario Galaxy 2 has an AMAZING sound track).
@@laiesha_Pc There's also a fan remake on PC available right now that was made in RPG Maker. The combat is different from the OG (from what I understand), but I still really enjoyed it.
Something that I think would be pretty cool in the Remake would be for things to change to the point where Reno and/or Rude might actually turn on Shinra at some point and become actual party members out of disgust/displeasure with Shinra's actions (with the main spark being Shinra choosing to drop the Sector 7 Plate just to blame it on Avalanche). Would be one hell of a way to surprise those who played the original.
I was kind of shook up at the plate battle since rude was the one who dropped it, not reno. Even if the main plot stays the same there are these subtle little differences showing that things are moving in a different direction and im all for it
*Reno has been defeated* Cloud: Time to end this man's whole career... *stab* I love how matter-of-factly Cloud goes for the killing blow. Darn it, Aeris, why'd you interfere?
This fight on hard mode was disappointingly easy. I got so psyched up for it and beat Reno with a few counters. Haven’t got to Reno and rude in hard mode yet so here’s hoping
The best part was my brother had never played the original FF7 and only knew of Advent Children and the rest of the FF7 world through cultural osmosis. So when he was playing the Remake he was excited to see Reno and Rude, having loved both of them in Advent Children. And then they dropped a city on another city and he learned a very valuable lesson that the Turks are actually the bad guys.
@@VegetaLF7 But I wouldn’t they are 💯 bad. They actually still have a conscience and believed that their bosses are out of their mind in ordering the plate to be released. Even Rude also agreed with Aerith that they’re not that bad, but orders are orders. They still do it because they’re the Turks after all.
@@GeorgiaAndrea Oh I agree, they're redeemable if circumstances were different. They're bad guys who still have a heart, but they have a job to do and are loyal to the company. It's why I completely buy that they're good guys in Advent Children. When Rufus has his change of heart and makes steps to try and start fixing the damage that Shinra did to the world, seeing the Turks actually trying to help out the former Avalanche members still feels in character for them. It helps show that if things were different they'd be on the same side.
Abby: Hello Joel Joel: Who are you Abby: Haven't seen him before, is he your new smuggler? Joel: He's helping me get ride of stragglers, if you must know Abby: Wait a minute? Those eyes. Is he the one who beat up Owen? Cloud: And what if I am? Abby: Need to cross my abs, dot my biceps. That's all Joel: Cloud, leave her her be, I saved her life, really Abby: Yes you saved my life. But like it or not, I sometimes have to do bad things. Don't take it personal *Attacks Cloud with a golf club* Cloud: *Blocks golf club with Buster Sword* You WLF are all the same. All bark, no bite Abby: You're one to talk! *Abby boss fight begins* Joel: No need to get rough Cloud & Abby: Stay back!
I can't wait for the 3 on 3 vs Reno Rude and Elena. I already know it's gonna be a blast.

Mr world wide
That's why if I lived in ff7 world , if shinra wasn't corrupt, useing mako energy was ok and no sephiroth fight , I would be a soldier or turk lol

It's hard tryna categorize this when things like the airbuster theme, jenova theme, and one winged angel exist, cuz it's up there

Airbuster is definitely my favorite. I would actually be very impressed if Square managed to top it in the next entries. Hopefully, though!

Don't forget The Valkyrie and Tightrope
To be honest all the boss themes were great in their own way .

Plot twist: Reno and Rude become playable in Remake 2...
Party members againts Corneo? Yes please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That would be sick
Would love to manhandle people with Rude while Reno talks smack in the background.
seeing as ff7 remake is more of an alternate universe ff7 I could totally see this happening.
Ngl that would be incredible
I just love seeing Rude knee cloud in the gut, them throw him into Aerith
one of the top moments in the early game
1:45 😩🔥🔥🔥🔥
00:24 kind of gives me Jak II Praxis boss theme vibes for some reason.
Turkish people really hid this banger from us 🤨
Reno and Lea would be either best friends or bitter rivals...if they aren't just the same person.
Ah,i see you are a kingdom hearts fan as well,nice
As long as he gets it memorised
My friend: Remake Turks's theme sucks.
Me: Jajaja. If you are gonna bullshit me, at least try to make it believable.
The ultimate bad-ass fighting theme of Episode 1
"Good ol' what's-his-face. Hardly knew ya. I hate doing cleanup, but...I'm damn good at it!"
Its so hectic i love it
Wow this music is so epic.
Turk the man in black of final fantasy version.
I'm in fuckin love with the riff at 0:35
Me too
this was way cooler then the FF7 classic version (im playing classic on the switch)
My fave fight out of ffviii remake. Reno's cool af
This is a better The 13th Struggle than Kingdom Hearts
Yoohoo, soldier boy!
I love how much more aggressive this song is compared to the original.
It really fits the expanded role the Turks are having/are gonna have.
I like this version than the rebirth one
This is some really bomb ass fucking music
This song slaps as hard as the Sector 7 plate
my head is shaking with a smile in my face while listening haha
Can't wait to see part 2 if it ever introduces Elena to fight alone or team up with Rude and Reno.
