It's funny how in my "year 2000 brain" the game always looked like this. But now we don't have to make those imaginary visual leaps in our minds anymore.
Nah we imagined Cloud would be more smiley and energetic here. My man still has the post trauma face!
Who woulda thought right
@@helloimuzumakikira1he is happy
This is so true of a lot of games back in the day. TBH, that extra work from my imagination added a whole other level to the gameplay experience that is almost impossible these days. Clever game design can call upon your imagination, but it’s not that common tbh.
😂😂😂😂 thought the same
That walking in the fire scene gets better and better every game
😂
@@BriefKeef😂
It even looks badass in Smash Ultimate!
Cloud's VA and animation really does a great job at looking like Zach
stop...
They really sent shivers down your spine in the remake. Watching Sephiroth butcher those towns people right in front of you while you crawl around trying to save your mom is just…heavy man
Lo que no entendí es porque los habitantes no atacan en grupo? Es algo ilógico.
You know it's not Cloud when he starts doing squats like Zack would
And being super chatty too.
Watch out Spoiler police incoming!!!
@@vivid8979 FBI OPEN UP!
if you talk to the shinra security guard on the right at the entrance, he clearly has Zack's voice and uses the lines he says to cloud in Crisis Core about having a hometown girl
Whoa, spoiler dude.
Just kidding
They should have left it as Sephiroth fighting a dragon. Amazing demo! Probably the most fun I’ve had from a demo ever.
It's heart wrenching in rebirth.
😂
No it's not. What a clown.
@@tapsofosiris3110The hell is your problem?
For the flashback it is, everything else in the original is more emotional than rebirth.
Played the demo... and its cinematic as ever... combat feels snapier too... better than remake..
How about the variable resolution? Is it better than remake?
@@fajaradi1223 its better overall.. cant say much on graphics cause my TV can only handle 1080p 60fps... but overworld is crispier.... than in remake.. draw distances are better....
Camera is zoomed out more too, which makes it feel more like a actual open world game compared to remake
@@fajaradi1223definitely better
@@fajaradi1223 remakes performance mode was at a fixed 1440p. rebirth uses DRS, and it can go below 1080p in performance mode especially when its in an open area
This is just amazing. To see this, to see this game come back to life in a new era. Fas who played the original including myself can appreciate just how epic this game is going to be
This is how remakes & remasters should be like. Transforming really old 2d ps1, ps2 games to ps5 level graphics & performance. And substantially reinventing & reimagining the entire game & gameplay.
Sadly most companies these days remaster very recent games that don't even need remaster just to earn some quick bucks. You know which games I'm talking about. They just improve very minor details here & there while keeping the entire gameplay exactly the same & then call it a remaster/remake
Exactly...Square actually put in so much effort to give us a new experience yet people still complain
Remasters and Remakes are different. What you described are called remasters, Remakes are like FF7 remake and resident evil 1-4 franchise where they completely do a complete remake of a game..
Let me guess it's the game where you shoot mushroom zombie
@AhmedMahmoud-og2jm they want the lil upres like the version pineapple express playiny
Final Fantasy VII is the very best rpg ever made imo. Its incredible.
Stop. No.
@@thaneros what is it then?
@@nvc. Either Chrono Trigger or Phantasy Star 4 imo.
to Final Fantasy 7 fans it always looked like that in their minds 👌🏼
It's a shame Sephiroth doesn't fight the dragon anymore
remember Hell house kiddo, they cooking.
Yeah def thought it was strange they had the materia keeper as the boss. Maybe they’re switching the bosses
They probably changed the dragon out simply because it was too big of a creature to just be casually roaming the outskirts of Nibelheim and causing problems.
@@visuyhmgroupfacts, the dragon isn't even outside Nibleheim so it is quite a fix.
What we need to remember is that FF7 was a mess internally and alot was reworked compared to originally planned. We maybe getting things the way they originally wanted to tell them but couldn’t.
Playing the Demo high 🌿 was an experience felt like a movie to me as a new comer to final fantasy 7 storytelling
😂
What ! Are you like 12 druggy
Burning village scene was epic
The bit with the Grand Dragon should've remained gameplay, it worked well because it tells story through gameplay. Cloud has barely any HP and Sephiroth has a ton. He can use Ice and Fire 3 and you get one shot, where as he can kill said dragon on one blow. It really helped use gameplay to convey just how strong Sephiroth really is.
It's one of those iconic scenes that the developers had no reason to downgrade. This does not bode well for the rest of the game.
No it not. 😂 why would a dragon be out there. It make no sense.
@@kg888 Uh, couldn't you say the same for literally any monster in the game? Including the ambush present in the remake?
Yes but you have ice3 and fire3 in remake too. It wouldnt make him look much more op compare to how you are leaving midgar.
Imo, it might be even better to save the green dragon for a tough boss with several partymembers only for cloud to say he once saw sephiroth cut one open in just two slices.
@@juliansanchezharris5773 That's just lazy. Using gameplay to tell story is far better than just having Cloud say 'well he killed some people'. Yeah, he killed the Midgar Zolom, but this was a point first hand where we actually see from a gameplay perspective how strong he is.
2:51 ‘Left’ Me getting excited for the release date. 😁
the fire scene is one of the most iconic scenes in videogame history, I'm glad they did it justice
The music in the original was banging wayy harder in the reactor.
4:07 Why did the towns folk have guns but not shoot? It looks like they wait to be hit with the sword
Shooting at him would do nothing but make him madder.. lol
@fionnmaccuill415 do you know why they didn’t shoot?
Yeah..that scene was weird..
oh, it's because sephiroth's theme is playing
The whole stumbling forward slowly was annoying, just make it a cutscene at that point.
Sephiroth in the Original is far more intimidating,majestic,mysterious and Godlike! Look his bright green eyes glowing in flames slowly rising his face!!! Look how his Silver hair..looks like its made from liquid metal(in rebirth looks like old woman).Look his rugged looking face (graphics detail in rebirth make him baby face)Look the subtlety of his movements and his posture both in battle and Cutscenes.Look his amazing form and graceful gestures!!! Original FFVII is True Art in every way. Its unique power,atmosphere and charm stems from smart Camera angles and movements Graphical ambiguity,Graceful movements and Amazing Visual forms.Graphical detail destroyed the magnificent aura of these things!!!!
To go from those graphics to this. Massive achievement in gaming graphics
Shame about the story. Tradeoffs...
We come a long way, baby.
Nah.
Yah.
4:05 this QTE is totally unnecessary, the rest looks outstanding as expected.
That part was garbage, that should have been a cutscene.
Lets see if changes in the release version.
@@kronozord8346it will never be changed in the final version lmao
It’s also weird seeing Sephiroth and the two dudes not doing anything, just waiting for you to complete the QTE
They wanted to make you feel crouching instead of just watching.. and it worked..
@@kronozord8346"was garbage" that people need to over-exeggarate like dumbasses these days..
Sephiroth looking at the camera with the flaming background and flexing his sword looks just as badass as ever! 🤩
It is crazy how the scenes look so similar to the OG FFVII but also look so modern. This game is going to be awesome!! As FFVII Fan this is magic!
Compare it to Crisis Core as well
And Smash
The writing is like copying a friends homework. You want it to not be the same, but don't wanna make it so different because it was right in the first place.
Sephiroth is fkn handsome, omg.
Where they put that ...soldier in front of the house. And what he was saying...is excellence.
Seeing that scene just after finishing Crisis Core remake as well... omg 🥲
Cloud with "his" mannerisms is so weird to watch, lmao.
Is not him is zack.
Ign is gonna give this great masterpiece of a game a 7 out 10 because the reviewer is not a fan.
can someone also compare this flashback to crisis core reunion? would be interesting as well
yeah i’m also looking for this!
Sephiroth is so badass
Man, they cut the “that would be our monster” line from the original… SMH
And the whole dialogue about the cetra traitors who became modern humans which caused sephiroths rampage in the first place. Sephiroth believes he was created as the chosen cetra based on the falsehood that Jenova was a cetra.
feels weird to see cloud squating
Because it's not Cloud lol
@@strahinjagov Spoilers.
the original was superior in every way....
Except animations, and audio, and everything else…
Cloud's voice actor does a better impression of PSP Zack than Remake Zack does.
It's been 4 years since Remake. Maybe the VA for Zack got more experience during those years and will be better in Rebirth?
thanks for not spoiling anything
The OG soundtrack is a million times better.
Could’ve been more gruesome tbh. He was just going around and poking people. The OG version, he’s all hacking people to death
Probably because age rating and how strict it is now compared to back then. There wasn't even a single drop of blood in this scene
The ESRB guidelines got more strict and clearly defined over the decades. Back when this game was made the ESRB was only a few years old and it's rules were blurrier and more open to interpretation. If they don't want a M rating and to get the usual T rating they have to chill with the blood and dismembering.
Og didn't had blood too what u mean at that scene
@@bungifish2227they guy bled when sephiroth stabbed him earlier in the scene. It’s not in this vid tho
Why didn’t the armed guys shoot Sephirot? They just standed there
Bystander effect
@mrsgamer9218 no he cast stopra on them
If it was shock, they should have conveyed it better. Scene was just weird to me..
@@Johnnybox81 well it was in an injured zack's pov. Maybe he saw it like this....
Because game will end, if so.
Imagine how people back in the 90’s where at the time and how blown their minds were when they played this for the first time.
I'm not a bit fan of FFVI, but it would be awesome to see that psychopath Kefka portrayed with modern graphics like this. One of the best villains ever.
game would have been so much more dramatic if square didnt blow their load over sephiroth 30min into the first remake
They messed up the entire pacing and mystery.
@@zemocon2868u do remember this is not a shot for shot remake like did u two even remember what happened at the end?!
@@MrRobeStern64 I'm glad they change the storyline. Otherwise there would be no reason to buy a game that's divided in 3 or 4 parts and doesn't even have ending yet. At least the original FF7 had the whole story in one package.
Og is still better, newer version is just the typical Hollywood action film vibe. Not the same. The pre rendered scenes of the original still look amazing and magical.
It's the Micheal Bay x Kitase x Nomura lovechild version 😂
@@Johnnybox81 yeah in a nutshell haha
The demo alone put this into my fave games of all time list ❤
This always looked like this in my mind
You can't beat the original ❤❤❤❤
Hard to tell which is the new one
Lol, someone didn't like the rebirth textures 😂
Crisis core had the best fire scene, the weird smile in this one looks off.
yea idk what happened there its like a twitch
It resembles the last semblance of Sephiroth who sees Cloud/Zack as a friend and how he's completely losing himself.
The cutscene in Crisis Core uses the old CGI model of Sephiroth
corny. his rage has always been his underlying drive down this path. The OG cutscene had much more impact. And they kept doing this in part 1, too. Literally every scene of Sephiroth is him smirking and giving Cloud the eyes. It's like someone is making fanfic over there in Square reality. @@PetarBladeStrok
Amazing demo and the final shot...
Huge hyped to play as ex soldiers from spin offs, the gunner girl the side adventure.
Even Vincent and Cid while spoilers they after the Midgar to get their life back.
Very nice demo except for the second half. Just give me a damn cutscene before making me press forward and watch Cloud walk with 0.1m/s. Or Sephiroth and the townspeople have a standoff amd doing NOTHING. Like he is killing them and they dont even use their guns.
It's like they ran out of time to polish the scene to make it work at all
so they removed the badass music ..
Its funny how FF8 took a lot of beats from 7, like Zell and Seifer's banter from their first mission
It's pronounced "Nee"-belheim? Mind blowing... I've been saying it wrong for 25 years.
how do you pronounce it?
@@ValAllenSamonte a lot of people say it like nibble-heim, as in to eat slowly, or graze on food.
They had rewrite from part 1 game.
Until part 2 remake, it changed to some cuts and scraps content where staff was struggle how to make the game look sense.
Same to part 3 remake.
......what?
@@Justin-td2er In case to tell, talking about the game's story.
Cloud in this game acts so innocent here... until everything goes down the toilet, to the point where Cloud is the guy we know him as
remake brave fencer musashi please
Missing loud intense music on the new games
Funny how Clouds mom has his spitting image.
It’s crazy you could have 3 comparisons, 1 with Zack too
Remake looks better and is better for sure both
Combat control from remake to XVI and then to rebirth *so much typo 😅
*SPOILERS*
*YOU'VE BEEN WARNED*
*THE GAME IS OVER 20 YEARS OLD I'M BEING NICE HERE*
It's neat how the shinra trooper that cloud(zack) talks to at the beginning of this scene is actually the real cloud and you can see from his face and a bit of his hair peeking out.
New show us what REALLY happened!
Dang, mako reactor incident looks different after you played crisis core.
Why is cloud in nibelheim? It was Zack or not ?
Both were there. Cloud was the soldier getting sick.
Why? Stop asking dumb questions bro
As somebody said cloud was there but in his memory he projects himself as Zack. Because of trauma. Crisis cores ending butchered Zacks death in some ways. Most notably cloud never got to say goodbye to Zack and was powerless to help. This put him down a spiral where he merged himself with Zack suffering from severe survivers guilt erasing him from his memory. This was a huge reveal in the original as you didn't even know who Zack was if you didn't play the side content but now everybody knows who Zack is and will be confused until square spells it out for people
@@reksraven thank for the spoiler, you did great job
and this was running on ue4!
demo of rebirth is insane, best demo of videogame history
Zack and Sephiroth
Those 97 polygons though
I'm not ready to lose Aerith again
IF we lose her
I'm ready
Be prepared for a shitty plot twist that saves her
Lose?!?!?!?!
Dont know a ton about final fantasy 7.. is the proper vernacular "Sephidad" or "Dadiroth" ??
So we all agree this is zack, but how the hell did cloud get zacks memories because we were shown zack didn't die
damn you’re right … he didn’t ..
The Zack that was shown it's from a different timeline
Lifestream. They were incubated and experimented on together in Mako.
The original is way better than the new one could ever be
Ahkay.. toxic dumbass
Everything I’ve seen about Rebirth has given me goosebumps.
I’m ready to hate Sephiroth all over again…
Cloud acts kinda sus.
It's nice they had this just like the original and didn't change it.
There are minor difference which change the effect for me. The fight against the monsters not being gameplay is something that is a bit annoying. Also changing the fire scene to a qte didn't need to be done. It destroys the moment as your are will inevitably be drawn to the prompts the second they show up. Overall it is a fine imagining of the scene but was degraded in minor ways. Especially by the fact that Steph got so much screentime in the first act this time around
Did they do the super Nova scene?
Wtf
Are you dumb?
Sephiroth, the one winged angel, of death?
The “Command Menu” is visible and very annoying while exploring.
That Generic footsoldier guy
I'm waiting for the FF7 Netflix series.
Love this GAME
The walking through fire was done better in original.
🔥🔥🔥
im wondering, isnt the flash back seen from zacks perspective but we play as cloud ? how come. in crisis core reunion its zack that goes through this as well
Cloud remembers it differently
@@maciejpolak2458 makes sense And a nice touch
The Original still feels better in my opinion.
Im gonna cry...
why no 4k60?
Meh 🫤 .......Anywho, the music the from the original really made a difference.
the lighting in the demo is bothering me along with camera issues still.
especially if you entered a building, the dark then sudden light is annoying. also the shadow in their faces feels weird. unreal engine issues.
So that's actually Zack in the demo not Cloud right?
It’s cloud’s recollection. Except he is mixed up with memories of Zack. So yeah it is Zack who does most of that and cloud is the grunt soldier who gets motion sick. When cloud goes to his mom’s he acts like normal cloud (because that’s his memory) and in the demo there’s some effects going on as he is having trouble reconciling his memory. It’s all so well done.
Spoilers dude. Some people haven't played the original.
Ohhhhh 💩!!!!!!! Top fav 3 fav games of all time . 42 year old gamer .
For the new kids who don’t know anything Sephiroth REAL MOM IS NAMED Lucretia she had a child with Hojo and Hojo and Lucretia both experimented on Sephiroth. Lucretia is sleeping in a crystal in the original FF7 she’s in a cave behind a waterfall and you need Vincent because Vincent had a crush on Sephiroths mom.
Sephiroth was experimented on in the womb. The jenova cells were injected before he was born, not after which is why he’s so strong.
This only comes to show how wonderfully directed and cinematic the original was, and how awful the new animu direction is.
Ok, toxic fanboy bob
i'm confuse, where is zack?, did they change the storyline or something?
This is a memory. It's a fabricated origin story that cloud did to feel cool. He was never a solider, he was the security guard that said "You bet" at the beginning. Zack was the "Cloud". But to feel cool he displayed Zack as himself in that memory
@@KrisendoYT ok, that make sense
*she
@@Gaiden557 cloud is male
Prefer the dragon designs of the original
