It's a crime that this video only has 202 views.

DAMN this is really good. thought about something i like in a completely new way, learned stuff about a sphere of culture that i am otherwise completely outside of... this is genuinely really insightful and substantial research and thoughts! ive seen at least a few vids on Final Fantasy fashion, but this one felt more in depth. like it was moreso informed by your own understanding of the character and the real life background, rather than reciting facts from elsewhere. SHOCKING how little views this video has and how few subs u have. ur presentation also really really works. its paced in a way that i can follow, editing is all it needs to be. what can i say! youve got something great going and u deserve WAY more subs!!!
gonna go check out ur other stuff now 👍

[@lvlwon]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@gabrielmcnair1895]

This is a really interesting video, Unexpectedly learned a lot about Japanese fashion history. I hope you continue to make videos of such high quality.

[@Darkhorse77777]

You and Cryy have the best voice for video.

[@lvlwon]

Haha thanks

Sephiroth in Remake/Rebirth Rebels against his former self to tear fate apart. Even betraying his prior goals knowing that it's a cycle. It's unsettling in the fact he knows he is unfinished (Unlike Prior FF7 Media) so the FF7 Cast becomes unfinished.

I loved this very nice
