I’m confused as to why the presentation didn’t have in-video subtitles. The Sakurai Presents videos had in-video subtitles despite being filmed at basically no budget, so why can’t this?
You do realize those weren’t auto translated subtitles right. Using RUclips’s Subtitles/CC options allows them to have multiple language subs for a single video without having to render out multiple videos with different languages.
I completely agree that *Ever Crisis* NEEDS to be on console/PC and not just mobile. I'd buy it *day 1* if they properly port and optimize the controls for other platforms! :D Also, *AS I PREDICTED,* the full FF7 Remake story is gonna be split into *3 PARTS!* YESSS! :D
---*An Analysis: How Square Enix is at a Unique Position in History, and How They can Either Make or Break it*--- With the release of FFVII 25th anniversary content and footage as shown by Square Enix, I started to ponder to myself in wonder regarding how Square Enix seems to be in such a unique moment in history in which no other company, in no other medium of story-telling, has ever been in (at least from what I am aware of). I'm referring to the fact that Square Enix has the unique opportunity to correct their story-telling sins of their past, on top of succeeding on their new narrative direction, if they do it all correctly. But allow me to back up a little bit. When FFVII Remake was announced way back in 2015, everybody was obviously excited over the idea that their beloved game was getting the treatment that every other remake gets: an overhaul in visuals, modernizing the gameplay, but leaving the story intact. But lo' and behold, we were met with an idea and meaning of a remake that was very different from what fans anticipated. Rather than a 1 to 1 remake of the story, as we all now know, FFVIIR is in fact a sequel for all intents and purposes. Met with mixed reception as far the story is concerned, many fans were (arguably) justifiably upset over the direction they went of doing a sequel rather than simply retelling the same story we are all familiar with and love. And the crazy thing was, their reimagining of what a remake was for them, was to make a plot featuring alternate timelines, time travel, or something of this nature. Although the reality of what is exactly going on is still up in the air until we get clarity from Rebirth, what we do know is that the inclusion of Whispers definitely turns things on its head, and makes it a sequel, not a retelling of OG story. Whether it's alternate timelines, time travel, etc, I find it fascinating that although Square Enix is not really known for strong storytelling, they decided to go a direction that not even AAA game studios like Rockstar or Naughty Dog, companies known for their top-tier writing and narrative, would probably ever dare go. Why? Because they understand how difficult and delicate it can be messing around with the timeline and details of a story, which can create major plotholes, extremely convoluted story, etc. But then they released news of the upcoming game FFVII Ever Crisis, with the tagline, "Another Possibility for a Remake?", and it is in the true meaning of this statement I would argue rests so much of the fate of Compilation of FFVII. Although Square Enix only knows it's true meaning, I'd like to explore the only three possible interpretations I could see coming from this tagline, and my thoughts on how their direction they take as a result, rests the success of FFVII Compilation. 1st possible direction - 3rd timeline: first thing it could mean is that they will create yet another timeline that strays off in another direction, but I don't think they would be that stupid or reckless. They've been there, done that already with Remake, and to do a third timeline would take the possibility of plot holes, inconsistencies, and convolutedness to astronomical proportions. It would fail before it even started. So I doubt this is the direction they will go, but if they do, then God have mercy on their souls! 2nd possible direction: exact retelling of OG FFVII, and rest of Compilation: in the question of, "Another Possibility of a Remake?", could they perhaps mean giving us the remake we desired in the first place? it is in this they can fulfill the vision of fans everywhere, in giving a remake which fans desired this whole time, complete with the presentation they are familiar with, and updated graphics. It is in this that they can have not only fulfilled their own innovating and risky story-telling through their vision of what they wanted Remake to be, but also fulfill the vision of fans by delivering OG story through Ever Crisis, in which case it can be a win-win. But is this really the best outcome? 3rd possibility: retelling of OG story and compilation... But with some revision for consistency and quality sake across compilation titles. This would be the best approach I think they could take. We all know the quality and consistency of story-telling across the different compilation titles vary quite wildly, with only OG FFVII and Crisis Core (to some degree) considered to have good story-telling. And we also know that, for better or worse, Square Enix had announced years ago that all of FFVII Compilation is considered canon, which means with all it's flaws and inconsistent level of writing and cringe characters included. But who's to say that they mean the OG compilation? What if they are referring to Ever Crisis compilation? Could they be righting (by rewriting) their story-telling sins of their past by making the quality and details and characters strong and consistent throughout all the titles? Because it is only in this approach that FFVII Compilation can truly be successful. And with the inclusion of what is seemingly alternate timelines, it's all the more important that they make sure all the story details add up and there are few discrepancies and weak-writing as possible. And as fans have noted, the likes of Weiss and Nero were already represented in a more respectable and less cringy manner in Remake Intergrade, so if they did that with them, it leaves open the possibility that they may revise the representation of certain other characters as well (*cough* Genesis *cough*). So I believe Ever Crisis is a pivotal title that can make or break the success of FFVII Compilation as a whole, considering it comprises everything of Compilation outside of the 3 Remake parts. And they are in a very unique position because I don't know of any other franchise, in any other story-telling medium, where a company has given themselves the opportunity to retell their franchise's story, but with hindsight on what can work better and rewriting those aspects to equalize the level of writing across titles. So which path will Square Enix take? Will they possibly cement FFVII Compilation in history as one of the strongest, most intriguing narratives in video game history? Or will they make "FFVII COMPLICATION", making it one of the most convoluted, poorly written narratives by introducing yet another timeline, and simultaneously failing to redress the sins of their past? Only time will tell how this will all unfold and where the legacy of FFVII will be left. I wish them all the best.
Unfortunately, most of "next winter" takes place in early 2024 (all the way through March 31st based on the Japanese fiscal calendar), so I am thinking FFVII Rebirth is actually 2024, not 2023...
Ooo, remake, rebirth, renewal. I love that. I’m actually putting my money on Return. Because I think the events at the end of Part 3 will involve returning the timelines of event to original FF7.

@@TaliesinMyrddin yea the video is actually on this channel and is titled I Didn’t Love FF7R. It was uploaded when this channel was still Jon’s private channel before it became GVG.

@@leontartovsky8949 Just watched that video you mentioned and I have seen it before apparently, but I think hates is a strong word.

Can we please stop with these wrong takes? KH3 was never announced back in the PS2 era. Everyone thought it was KH3, but Square never said it was. Im tired of these uninformed KH takes.
I dnt im starting to not care.so it went from final fantasy remake,now the next is rebirth.this whole remake thing was a complete lie.this is literally fan fiction.we will never see ff7 in modern graphics

Beats me. But that's the only real issue I had at least. The overall presentation was surprisingly solid.
There are people that don't speak English. This way people can choose their preferred language for the subtitles (Spanish, French, Italian, German)
To see the English they would've had the watch it on the game awards RUclips channel
You do realize those weren’t auto translated subtitles right. Using RUclips’s Subtitles/CC options allows them to have multiple language subs for a single video without having to render out multiple videos with different languages.
Cloud talking about Tifa is about what he saw in VR room in the shinra building.
its probably about the flashback when she is laying on the ground in a cowboy outfit
