  • A playable demo of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is free on PSN. After playing it, and reliving the iconic FFVII chapter, I figure it's worth a video. Here are my thoughts.

    The Niebelheim incident is one of gaming's greatest moments, and even in the broader scope of storytelling in general.
    It acts as setup and motivation for the characters early in the game/story, becomes a "hook" for character developement(and deconstruction of character) and finally leads to acceptance and katharsis.
    It is both a multi-layered story with various mysteries(due to how the event is presented to the player), as well as a very simple story with a straightforward plot once you have all the pieces by the end. This makes the event, with all its intricacies, hard to explain to others, but easy to follow once you understand the full story.
    The way the events are woven into the story and the impact it has throughout the various interactions and events throughout the game is masterfully done, and I am looking forward to see it retold in this new style.

    The voice work really impressed me. I love how you can hear the rage build up in Sephiroth's voice when he is realizing that he was an experiment, even though he's still so soft spoken. How in the library you can hear he's no longer the noble SOLDIER that he was a week before. Or how Zack's personality comes through in Cloud's voice. And then the music, damn. The Nibelheim theme is the best version we ever had so far. Chills all the way.

      But Rebirth, we know exactly what to expect, and now we know just what they can deliver. Even playing the demo its clear that its different. The cinematography, the voice acting, the graphics, the music, the combat, the world traversal, it is all impossibly beyond anything we have ever seen before. This game is on an entirely different level.

    I loved the demo, I am also an OG fan (was 9 when I played the original for the first time in 97). Really enjoyed those small details you talked about that "if you know, you know". One that is an easy catch for new comers and veterans alike is near the end of the demo when you walk up to your home and are blown to the ground. Cloud gets those memories of his mother saying "Run Cloud, run away." "You have to leave...you have to live." which if you recall Sephiroth told Cloud this in the Remake Chapter 2 when you first encounter him. This man is literally tormenting us with our mothers dying words! CHEF'S KISS!

    • @fendelphi
      @fendelphi 3 месяца назад

      Sephiroth is making Cloud remember, because his "link" to the world is through his memory. He wants Cloud to remember him, to hate him, so that he can never truly disappear.
      Cloud was relatively "docile" during his talk with Sephiroth in the bombing run aftermath, until Sephiroth tells him to leave and live(which he in fact eventually do), which triggers aggression from Cloud.
      Back then, I simply thought he was taunting Cloud by suggesting that Cloud should flee like a coward(with Cloud shouting "you bastard" right after), but now we know that Sephiroth was using Claudia's own words, which shook Cloud out of his trance like state.
      And Sephiroth's responds with "good, hold on to that hatred". He got what he wanted out of that.
      Or...
      Cloud is so messed up, that he mixes various things together.
      In the OG, there is no "leave and live" speech from Claudia. It might be something that the developers expanded upon(which is great), or it could be another unreliable narrator moment with Cloud mixing up Sephiroth's and Claudia's words(also great).
      The fact that we can speculate like this just goes to show how well done it all is.

    This was definently a top 10 game of my childhood and that Nibelheim scene is just god damn iconic.This however elevates this flashback to whole new levels.Perfectly illustrating Sephiroth's descent to madness.
    This demo so far was everything I hoped it would be and Im damn excited for the full game

    In the OG when one of the enforcers goes missing, Sephiroth sticks to the mission, not out of malice but just being a "mission first, then we can search for him" while in Rebirth he PERSONALLY tries to grab him but misses and also goes looking for him while the rest of the team stay and rest, before pressing on for the mission.
    I also liked how Cloud points out that Sephiroth _was_ a really good dude.
    Also, Jeremy casually wishing to see Aerith die again :(

  • @DFTNSHEXGRM

    This won’t be a fix for everyone, but if you own a Sony Bravia OLED TV, you can fix the blurring issue in Performance Mode. In Picture Settings under Clarity, turn on Reality Creation mode, set it to Manual, and then turn it up to 40 or 50. This uses a Sony proprietary built-in AI upscaler to boost the imagine, and it absolutely fixed it for me without making it look bad or overly sharpened. The game looks great now in performance mode for me.
    I was looking into buying an Mclassic and a 4K Gamer Pro to daisy chain them together to get the image I want; but did some research and found out that my TV actually has an upscaler built in that’s on par with an mClassic or 4K Gamer Pro. Again it won’t be a fix for everyone unfortunately but if you own a Sony OLED this will fix it 100%. If you own an LG OLED or any other brand, I’d look in your settings and see if there’s something similar to Sony’s Reality Creation mode. Hopefully when the full game releases this will be fixed. Can’t wait for Rebirth y’all! Feb 29th needs to hurry the F up!

    • @Bannedconfidential

    • @DFTNSHEXGRM
      @DFTNSHEXGRM 3 месяца назад +1

      @@Bannedconfidential Yeah the performance mode visual fidelity takes a huge hit. The graphics look terribly blurry. And in graphics mode it’s way too choppy, needs motion blur. I hope this demo is from an older build of the game, and when it releases this will all be fixed! Definitely check your settings and do some googling to see, your tv probably has an upscaler built in as well. It absolutely fixed it for me. Good luck!

    • @atikurrahman9304
      @atikurrahman9304 3 месяца назад

    • @DV-ou1yu
      @DV-ou1yu 3 месяца назад +1

      Reality Creation is definitely a game changer and I love it. It makes video games look so realistic. My only issue with Sony is that their TVs look soft out of the box and messing with the settings creates artifacting if you dont get it right. I stick to Sharpness 60, RC 60 or 50.
      I have a Sony A9G and it can look out of this world, but in motion...it lacks the motion clarity and 3d effect of my Samsung S95B. And this is where my issue lies with Sony.
      To get the Sony to look as clear as the Samsung on default, you have to mess with settings. The thing is the Sony can turn a blurry picture into a sharp image which I love while the Samsung just stays the same no matter if the sharpness is 10 or 20. Where as Sony sharpness 50-100 looks noticeably crispier and this is before you even get to reality creation. But the Sony will never have the same motion clarity as the Samsung and that to me that makes the Samsung look way better imo.
      Because the Samsung has a beautiful default sharpness that you really can't enhance like the Sony which sucks, but overall the Samsung imo looks better although it will never look as crispy as the Sony.
      It's pretty crazy how sharp the Sony can upscale an image, but the colors, brigthness, and 3d effect aren't as prominent as Samsung. Use to rock a Sony 900e (2017) and Samsung q8fn (2018). Same thing except back then the Sony had to be maxed out to contend with Q8fn. Sony has come a long way with upscaling (making RC effective with less artifacting) while imo Samsung has stayed the same or regressed. I've noticed all current day QLEDs from Samsung do not look as good as their 2018 models which I asssume is a way for them to boost the 8k and OLED models. Smh
      I'm interested in a Sony x93 mini-led. That tv looks amazing

    Can always trust Jeremy to have the most correct opinions, even about video games! Nibelheim story is absolutely the crowning jewel of FF7 and what elevates the game and I loved how this demo was truly a 'if you know, you know' experience almost every second of it lol
    And I agree SO much about the trailers, the only one that was exciting was the short TIFAAA one, the rest of the marketing and trailers have been so lukewarm, especially the suddenly turned opera singer Aerith one omg, that was a slog!

    So FF7 for me was the first game that gave me the feels, I also played it once, when it first came out (yes I’m getting old). So my lore knowledge isn’t quite up to where some peoples will be…and I’m okay with that. The first game completely blew my mind with that approach and I’m probably going to take the same approach. Certain things stand out in my mind from the first game that I won’t go in to bc of spoilers but it doesn’t end with the plot; I have memories of battles, materia, and certain hidden bosses. Hopefully everything will make it in the remake. Anyway, im pumped for the game to come out.
    We also see what camp you’re in John. Idgaf that isn’t a pure remake; I actually like how certain plot points are being retconned and I love that if it was - this game was made for me and people like me who played the first one, enjoyed it but wanted more; wanted certain things to change because of how hard it hit annnnnd that doesn’t mean it can’t hit hard again but from a different perspective.
    It’s hard to talk about this without spoilers man. For the love of god make a spoiler video.

      They are shown in the later trailers and gameplay reveal. If you want examples (stop reading if you do not want spoilers):
      They are at the forgotten capitol, they are during that moment with Aerith, they are at what seems to be Gongaga reactor when cloud is fighting some soldiers and probably more I forget.

      Depends on if they have shifted the story around a bit. Originally, the weapons are unleashed after the visit to the northern crater, and from the sound of it, part 2 stops before that.
      But they also said that the sequence of some things have changed, so maybe the weapons are unleashed/seen earlier.
      I doubt we get to fight them until part 3 though.
