I always find myself coming back to these reaction videos just to see the absolute joy on people's faces and hear their reactions when games are announced. From all walks of life, from all backgrounds, we all became gamers for reasons like this. For an experience.
I hate it when people mention which year it is, as if we can't see it in the "x months ago" info besides names. All to score easy points, like "anyone watching in ?" and "did anyone come here from x", I guess.
I've replayed Final Fantasy VII over a dozen times, and it feels like I weep harder every time at that iconic scene - you know the one. I'm both ready and completely unprepared to see it brought to life in the remake. It's going to break me.
Same here bro! XD can't stop looking at this and remember how one game can unite all of us! We should learn from this cause we urgently need it. Hello, 2019 buddy!
2019 man.. that first reaction with the entire crowd.. i remember watching the streams that day.. it was fucking amazing.. this will always give me goosebumps i think
At a time like this and what the world is going through, seeing this unbridled joy has really put a smile on my face. You did a hell of a lot work work putting this together mate, well done 🙂
I'm watching this in 2024, 'cause I definitely missed the boat on seeing reactions when this actually happened. It's crazy seeing some faces that I've started seeing more of, but also seeing the ecstatic reactions of SO MANY people that were absolutely too young to remember this game when it came out in '97. Shit like that keeps reminding me that classics are classics, and there will always be people that go back to them year after year and like and love them just as much as those of us that were around when they dropped. One more game to go.
1:58:35 is my favorite. Such pure emotion and he can't hold it back. I'm a 34 year old man and I reacted the same way. FFVII is not only my favorite game, it's my favorite piece of entertainment media ever. One month left to go!
This is my favorite video to come back to when I’m feeling down. It’s amazing how a game from so long ago connects so many people from so many different places
Watching this while waiting for the release in 5 hours. Still can’t believe it. Thx for the video of this. I come back to it every year, thx again man!
2023 and still crying with joy. Let the unknown journey bring many more happy moments. Thank you for this upload! I know some folks were let down because it wasn't a complete Remake, but let's embrace whatever it brings.
I hope they come out with a documentary on the making of ffvii remake. I've seriously been waiting since the release of ps3. I want to know everything that went on making this game.
You read my mind, was looking for a video like this, thanks for doing it man, now that E3 2018 starts soon it seems they'll announce the launch trailer! So happy and hyped about it, enjoy FF brother!
Watching this again because its one of the legendary game teaser ever!! I never played the original but I watched my dad and uncles played this and it was still a wonderful experience for me watching this people who grew up playing the original of this game react.
So all my friends know my favourite game of all time is ff7. Never seen E3 but I woke up the following morning with 3 text's on my phone all saying the same thing "ff7 has been announced". Clicked on it and cried almost the whole way through. No game has ever made me feel the way ff7 has. For me it's the greatest game of all time.
Remember my reaction to this like it was yesterday...woke up still shitfaced from night before....n read it and thought nah thars not happened and thought I was dreaming...i watched the trailer n just lay in bed crying 😂😂
Man... I'm a big tough guy and this makes me want to cry like a little girl. It's beatiful to see everyone's deep nostalgia emotions just break out like this :')
The gunarm got me too. I knew the music, i knew the lifestream but it wasnt real until i saw the shape of a gun at about waist height come out the left of the screen and i immediately BARRET. CLOUD'S BEEN IN EVERY GAME UNDER THE SUN, BUT YOU NEVER SEE BARRET UNLESS ITS REAL.
Who would of thought a 1997 JRPG FF would change people's lives & have them emotional just by watching a trailer. This is more than a game it's a phenomenon that digitally evokes feeling because of gaming sensation & understanding. Only gamers will comprehend such an intangible feel from a paradoxical standpoint. Gaming is something you live & enjoy personally when you are working your ass off & have been doing it since a kid. I first played FF7 in the year 2020 & I can objectively say that this is one of the greatest games I've ever played in my lifetime. Nobuo Eumatsu is also the Greatest video game composer I've listened to along with Masashi Hamauzu. Gaming isn't ignorant nor a waste of time that's based on what you grew up with naturally & your personalized exposure. Everything is subjective to what an individual is fond of. Nobody in this lifetime deserves to be ostracized nor discriminatory just because another individual likes something that might not pertain to you. You create your own reality after all. It's also about personal experience with what you've done in your life. Not everybody is able to speak on the same things with relation because they might prefer something that intrigues them a lot more & that's ok. That's a beautiful thing. From my outlook though I haven't personally found a person that's open minded & can bloviate about a heterogeneity of topics. Because the variety of objectivity it conjugates to apply when speaking on that particular subject isn't easy so that's understandable, but I personally can't relate to anyone currently.
I started gaming in 1982 with the Atari 2600. Played my first rpg in 1987 with Phantasy Star and played so many rpgs/jrpgs ever since. No game has made such an emotional impact on me than Final Fantasy 7. Untill i played the remake. I just hope they complete the whole story before i die.
For a real FF VII fan it's easy to spot the lifestream at the start, the staircase in midgard, the slide, flowers in the water and so on, but nonetheless good reactions.:D
the thing from the start wasnt the lifestream, its simple theme rendering the ps4 has... its Midgar, and the section where the stairs are near are the slums of south edge where loveless was based at.....that section is set off and never seen in the OT.
Yeah I find it rather interesting how many of these fans don't recognise the "Beyond the wasteland" theme off the Advent Children soundtrack. Then again I'm a bit of a FFVII nerd so I freaked out at the sound of the first notes. :)
I didn't know for sure it was FF7 until Marlene goes down the slide, but even then I thought it would be another movie or something. My heart wouldn't allow me believe it was the Remake until that word popped up on the screen lol. Hands down best videogame moment of my life tbh.
@@kitakee Tbh, I'm willing to bet lots of people recognized things.. But were trying VERY hard not to get their hopes up. We'd all been let down by this one too many times to believe it possible anymore by that point, let's be real xD
@@MikeSakaru Yep. Same here. I recognized everything as it was poping up, but I was still like... NOOO.... Nooooo.... It's a movie.... Is it a sequel?... Nooooo. Lol. And, yes, though it is a little similar to the playstation background, that was the lifestream.
I'm currently playing the game, and still love these reactions. And if you're a huge FF7 fan like I am, all I will say is the game WILL bring you tears of joy ^_^
Every time I watch reactions. It always blows my mind they didn’t put ff7 remake trailer for last. Makes me feel bad about the following games that came after ff7 even until now
It's just nice to see how many people of all different backgrounds just have pure joy to the announcement. I literally cried when I saw Cloud.
I feel you!
and then KH3 came out o boy sony ty lord
Exactly
I always find myself coming back to these reaction videos just to see the absolute joy on people's faces and hear their reactions when games are announced. From all walks of life, from all backgrounds, we all became gamers for reasons like this. For an experience.
47:11 is my favorite thing ever. This is the most wholesome joy I've ever witnessed on a man's face.
I hated because I have hiperacusia and hes screaming too loud
its 2019 and i still cry on every reaction
I hate it when people mention which year it is, as if we can't see it in the "x months ago" info besides names.
All to score easy points, like "anyone watching in ?" and "did anyone come here from x", I guess.
I've replayed Final Fantasy VII over a dozen times, and it feels like I weep harder every time at that iconic scene - you know the one. I'm both ready and completely unprepared to see it brought to life in the remake. It's going to break me.
2020 I just cried
I’m still crying and I’ve played part 1 🤣🤣🤣
Same here bro! XD can't stop looking at this and remember how one game can unite all of us! We should learn from this cause we urgently need it.
Hello, 2019 buddy!
Im still getting goosebump in 2017 watching this.... thank you for sharing
watching 2017
December 2018... Still feeling it.
2019 man.. that first reaction with the entire crowd.. i remember watching the streams that day.. it was fucking amazing.. this will always give me goosebumps i think
How are you feeling now that we have a release date?
Did you play it?
24:35 On this one, you can literally see a layer of adulthood peel off of him with every new shot.
Still watch this now. It gives me energy.
That never lose your hope.
And here I am 2 hours before the release just enjoying everyone’s excitement 5 years ago... can’t wait to play this.
I'm gonna be productive today
*Proceeds to watch 4 hours of reactions*
Exactly :')
(sorry for this late reply, I couldn't contain myself, it's just so relatable)
That guy who didn't even pause his speedrun and said "fuck it" was the most serious fan 1:18:14
Imagine being in that situation, bathing yourself in nostalgia playing the original game, suddenly you received news of the remake.
At a time like this and what the world is going through, seeing this unbridled joy has really put a smile on my face.
You did a hell of a lot work work putting this together mate, well done 🙂

That one guy that dropped the f-bomb in front of the kids
You mean the word fuck?
I like how one of the kids were just laughing at him too.
in the end it doesnt even matter. kids will turn into teens then adults who will also drop f bombs. so like who cares?
@@stagger9660 Of course it matters. It's about respect.
@@stagger9660 I'm 34 and I never use the word fuck, and neither my 3 kids. It's all about respect and education.
I have to say, anytime life is really, really bad, I watch these reactions and it helps me get through the day. Thank you so much.
This is my favorite video to come back to when I’m feeling down. It’s amazing how a game from so long ago connects so many people from so many different places
Goosebumps for every reaction, for 7 hours. This is the most wholesome video on youtube
Coolest moment in video game history, honestly.
Watching this while waiting for the release in 5 hours. Still can’t believe it. Thx for the video of this. I come back to it every year, thx again man!
2023 and still crying with joy. Let the unknown journey bring many more happy moments. Thank you for this upload! I know some folks were let down because it wasn't a complete Remake, but let's embrace whatever it brings.
2:31:27 I love this man's reaction. Just couple more months baby!
Nearly there
Please rename this to "4 hour goosebumps simulator"
Correct. every goddamn time that music hits. I get mine on the back of my neck
Even watching any part of this conference triggers tears…..that day…….that day omg
18:14 best one
1:18:14 too
I can't find his channel. I think he deleted it. Any ideas where he's now? Would've loved to see his reaction to remake gameplay.
I can’t find him, a long time ago that guy had a Chanel but I think he erase it.
3:31:00
I dunno. That guy at 32:38 jerking off at the announcement was kinda funny.
2:47:00
16:37 "That's a beautiful bird actually, Jesus Christ." LOL I love this
I still can’t believe this is real. I don’t know how I’ll ever be more excited than this for any video game, ever.
I'm right there with you.
Same
Same
@@1Albertm14 same
3:31:10 Cracks me up. That's the face you make if you were reunited with a lost childhood pet or something.
This video contains an *intense* amount of positive energy. Thanks for compiling them all.
Seeing our game since Childhood it makes me cry and remember all the nostalgia happened during that time
This game is soo soo deep in my heart......... My favorite game of all time........ Absolute masterpiece.
How did you like the Remake?
It's beautiful to see how much joy a single announcement brought to many people.
It’s August 2021 here and I still feel joy and the cries after each reactions 😭😭😭
Super hyped for part 2!!!!
I hope they come out with a documentary on the making of ffvii remake. I've seriously been waiting since the release of ps3. I want to know everything that went on making this game.
You got it!
19:57 🤣 that was me like literally 😆🤣
"Where's my buster sword?"
*Takes the fusion sword*
3:29:34 this guy is so good lmao. thats how people were reacting at work when they had to be quiet

You read my mind, was looking for a video like this, thanks for doing it man, now that E3 2018 starts soon it seems they'll announce the launch trailer! So happy and hyped about it, enjoy FF brother!
Thanks for the reupload man lol. I'm loving the happiness this game is going to bring. Can't wait.
I cried so much, my favorite 18:09
1:44:25
Found myself... The summer of 2015 and onwards was the epitome of hype as a FF7 fan
This is like the most wholesome thing in latest years
Watching this again because its one of the legendary game teaser ever!! I never played the original but I watched my dad and uncles played this and it was still a wonderful experience for me watching this people who grew up playing the original of this game react.
Thank you so much! I've been looking all over for this video! :-)

When this game releases the streets around the world will be empty...and quiet...
Dave rmp Dude this might actually be true because of the corona virus
David Luong Still here
Dario quietly waiting for that drop bbyyyyy
These were some unintentionally prophetic words. Got my copy yesterday and the streets are quiet as hell.
@@davidluong8370 Belgium. Pre-ordered a copy on thursday; got it on friday even though I expected it a week later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm not complaining.
Every time I go back to watch the first trailer for ff7 remake trailer back in 2015, I still get goose bumps to this very day 🤙🏽💯
Remember my reaction to this like it was yesterday...woke up still shitfaced from night before....n read it and thought nah thars not happened and thought I was dreaming...i watched the trailer n just lay in bed crying 😂😂

SO many moments that will never get old to me. Even if it's not a success, these reactions still make me tear up.
Man... I'm a big tough guy and this makes me want to cry like a little girl. It's beatiful to see everyone's deep nostalgia emotions just break out like this :')
September 2019 and still watching this wow

“Is it a sequel or a remake?” 4:08. Both my friend
1:44:25 - This guy left a mixture of jizz and tears on the ground.
2:13:56 my favorite

I recognize all this people as my people. God, the video part 1 is running for 4 minutes over 4 hours and i'm already crying.
I knew the moment I saw the lifestream....and when I saw that gun arm...yeah my eyes welled up and I exploded
The gunarm got me too. I knew the music, i knew the lifestream but it wasnt real until i saw the shape of a gun at about waist height come out the left of the screen and i immediately BARRET. CLOUD'S BEEN IN EVERY GAME UNDER THE SUN, BUT YOU NEVER SEE BARRET UNLESS ITS REAL.

You know sh** gonne real, when a speedrunner stop running
Holly shit I was on you're channel thinking is part 1 ever coming back and pufff there it is XD
I started gaming in 1982 with the Atari 2600. Played my first rpg in 1987 with Phantasy Star and played so many rpgs/jrpgs ever since. No game has made such an emotional impact on me than Final Fantasy 7. Untill i played the remake. I just hope they complete the whole story before i die.
Everytime i watch this i get goosebumps, if i die before i play this i will be extremely pissed off!
a very pissed off zombie...
Aye you still alive bro?
Did you die?
Are you still among the living?
This is ultra dopamine right here.
The best thing is the game we got was fantastic! Can’t wait for the 2nd part
8:11 the amt of vulgarities in front of his kids 😂😂
I'm rewatching this now to get myself hyped for the PC release. Finally I'll be able to play this game!

This deserves way more views than any video that pewdiepie has ever posted.
1:06:19 AHAHAHAHA YES!!! I found the "SEPHIROOOOOOOOOOOTH!" guy lmaoooooooo
The way the dude at 25:00 went straight up in his chair.
Wow it’s great you made this.
In 20 years, will kids look back at Fortnite with the same appreciation? I doubt it.
"gets off my chair quietly and stand on it"
My pants!!!!! My pants!!!!!! My pants!!!!!! (2:19:00)
RIP to that guy's pants...
Every time I watch reactions. It always blows my mind they didn’t put ff7 remake trailer for last. Makes me feel bad about the following games that came after ff7 even until now
Still watching in 2019!
I wanna give this video 1000 likes. The outro alone is worth a follow. Love u and ur passion. Much love 😘
This game is older than me I recently became a huge FF fan
