After what feels like the longest wait, Final Fantasy VII Remake is here! In this two part video series, I'll be discussing both the game and the story in separate videos, so please enjoy Part 1 as I work on Part 2 during May.
I'll be replaying 7R on my Twitch channel if any of you are interested in watching me scuffle with Roche, slam down some drinks in Tifa's bar or indulge in some butter Tea with Palmer. EXCITING TIMES!
Clemps I love you and everything you do!! So excited to see this video
Clemps Nice
fyi, PS4 pro user here. the door, flower and other textures are exactly the same (to reference 14:16) and it was jarring as hell. i got to play it a bit early so assumed the textures that were bad were gonna be sorted in the day one patch i thought was gonna be a thing like most games recently. but then i went through the game again on hard earlier this week and still shitty so.... yeah...
also good job on the vid Clemps.
Want I want? I want ol’ Sephi to miss by about a foot.
Why are you calling it the cross button.
Is this some kind of attack?
In my playthrough, the final boss died having Fat Chocobo fall on his head. Have that as a mental image...
Lmao! That's funny. Hey, I'm uploading and dping commentary in my ff7 play through. As a fellow gamer I would like a honest opinion on what you think. Hell you cam tell me it's shit and I'll be fine, as long as your honest.
Sorry, but I've seen a video of them being beaten by a team of three toads. No other image can take its place.
Omg hahahah love it
Soon after that a lot of chocobos are reported to have gone missing in mysterious circumstances XD
I used Fat Chocobo during the fight with Reno and Rude on top of the pillar, and when the slam happened, Reno died and I didn't even realize it until the dust cleared and Rude was the only one attacking me. xD
"Aerith smacking the camera with a chair" is going to be a regular transition on future videos, isn't it?
The "Aerith chair" thing has been a meme for a while in some fan art.
@Boring Name i was also a Tifa dan, but Jessie stole my heart. Shame somethings didnt change :(
The thing I'm looking forward to the most is Sephiroth beaning cloud with a materia and then a-pose flying away.
When I picked up the Materia on the ground in Hojo's lab (after Seph destroys the walkway and drops you to the lower floor), I was half expecting it to be the Destruction materia lol
. Hey, I'm uploading and dping commentary in my ff7 play through. As a fellow gamer I would like a honest opinion on what you think. Hell you cam tell me it's shit and I'll be fine, as long as your honest.
my headcanon is that Jenova-Seph doesnt know how to use materia and tried to "cast" it by throwing lol
I thought this was a joke until I remembered this was an actual scene.
If it doesn't happen then all the remake parts will be an instant 0/10 lol.
Can confirm the texture issue is NOT fixed on the pro, just FYI
That issue is really stupid. They deliberately made a big thing of that flower in Chapter 2 and 3. That's one important object concerning Cloud, Aerith, Tifa and Marlene. They should've used better textures in that scene.
Jesterday Plays agree 100%, for a game that looks so good textures like these are all too common and really jarring
@@jesterdayplays771 It's pretty obviously either an unintended lod bug or the result of hardware limitations, in which case wait for PC and PS5, I guess. There are even occasions where you'll see low and medium detail versions of the same assets side by side.
Just to remind, the game is STILL version 1.00, no updates since release. (Also, the texture issues are a part of the limitations of Unreal Engine 4 in general, so they're hard to fix.)
@@Shalakor just a remind that they STILL have not fixed it. I mean, its not something small. The flowers, houses, the backround.....the waste you see when you walk from the church to sector 7 with Aerith and Cloud looks like ps2. Its awful. :(
For what I would love to see:
Outside of gameplay in fights & technical aspects: Change the controllable character outside of battles. I know that it is only a small thing but running around as Tifa & Co. would be great
It'll happen eventually for sure, but probably still not until well after every party member has joined no matter how much the story changes.
I kinda wish Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie were playable characters unique from the main 4. It would've given the player a much greater attachment to them and therefore would've made their endings even more touching. NPC deaths are generally inconsequential to most players whereas the death of playable characters cuts most players. It's a good story telling tool that got overlooked in development.
Absolutely adored how they did the characters this time. So many moments were so damn impactful, like any scene with Barrett and Marlene was just so damn cute. Also Aerith kinda blew my mind, love her so much!
Right, but what about the scenes with ghosts? You know, the ghosts that are fucking everywhere for no goddamn reason?
Adam
There actually is a reason for them being there if you were paying attention.
Agreed. I loved the original, but I'm am so happy that they put more detail into the characters and the bond they have.
@@timhensley7885 Right there with you on that one
@@RoySamuelClark I'm actually uploading and my own commentary on the game. Since you are a fellow gamer and Final Fantasy fan it would mean a lot to me to know your opinion about my content.
BUT WHAT ABOUT FINAL FANTASY NINE!?
YOU PROMISED, DADDY CLEMPS, YOU _PROMISED!_
Its funny, the FF9 video is so tough to talk about because I STILL don't know what I want it to be. Do I want it to be a review? A discussion? A summary? Bit of everything? Its wildly important to me so I wanna do it justice, it just takes a lot of planning and... well, structuring :')
I haven't forgotten about it, don't worry!
@@Clemps YES. ALL OF IT. DO A WHOLE SERIES.
@@Clemps Personally, I just want to hear about why you love it. I haven't played Drakengard or Nier, but love your videos on them because it's such a genuine, personal love you seem to have for them. My favorite videos of yours are when you're telling a game's story that you're passionate about. Dino Crisis, FFTA, DrakenNier, Crisis Core/Dirge.
Thanks for the videos, stay safe Clemps
@@Clemps Make a video for each topic, even if it comes out to like 3 or 4 separate videos.
@@Clemps I eagerly await it, as I have done for years now. Don't let the incredible pressure of facts like that get to you.
:3 smooch
I giggled like a child when he said "hopefully on the PS5" and a microwave appeared, god bless you Clemps
"Triangle, circle, square and *cross*"
Ah, so this is how we part ways....
It's the official PlayStation terminology for those buttons.
Calling the x button “cross” is an affront to all 5 of my senses
*an affront
it's actually a cross, since its based on geometrical shapes, square, circle, triangle...cross. How does X make sense 😂
I agree, it's been the X button all my life, i think it's the 1st time i heard someone call it the cross button. It was.... unpleasant xD
@@tainor89 There's no such fucking thing as the geometric shape "Cross" that's not a thing. It's not a fucking cross, it's an X, because a cross would be aligned so that the lines were vertical and horizontal.
i even felt it in me 6th
Those 5 years honestly felt like 84 years in internet times.
Seriously. Hard to believe Sony revealed this alongside Last Guardian AND Shenmue III.
Prepare to wait actual 84 years to play the whole story...
I 100% do not recall anything that mentioned the Multiuse function. I also took forever to notice it...
I was Now Years Old when I found out about it.
I finished the whole game before I knew about that :(
I only knew about it from the beginning because I absolutely have to scour through the options and help/tutorials whenever I start a new game!
I'm on hard mode and that is now useless to me.
@@Jstar136 You can do it with magic. You can also press L1 to change the magnify materia to just one target.
One thing that surprises me is that no one talks about how there's no way to actually control your party members when they're under control of the CPU. Like, make them focus on the same enemy or a different enemy, make them either stay far away or stay close by, or even make them do nothing at all and stay at a distance
“The cross button”...Disliked, unsubbed, removed from watch history, reported to RUclips and reported to the authorities.
To be fair the rest of the face buttons are shapes and directions so we're wrong but.... Calling it the X button my whole life I have to join this lynch mob
@@user-fy3oy4vo9mI mean this might be because of where I live but whenever I hear someone call it the cross button my gut reaction is "a cross the lower case t that Jesus was nailed to! This is clearly an X"
The originally intended name was Cross, I believe.
Cross fits much better with Triangle, Square & Circle.
Cross is also far less ambiguous.
The 'X' button could be any one of three different places between PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo controllers.
Then again I would go further and name the PlayStation buttons cross, ring, square and point. These are all single syllables that are easily distinguished from one another.
Or alternatively you could choose to name them by the number of lines used for each shape, 1, 2, 3 and 4 ;)
Ive heard Eyepatchwolf and his friends call the sqaure button, the BOX BUTTON, truly dark times are upon us
I don't know if it's just me, but this game just made me want to play the original.
totaly😍
I got that feeling a lot too. I like this game a lot but it doesn't replace the original and I don't think they wanted it to. You might wanna look up the New Threat mode for the PC version if you haven't and you want a new FF7 to poke around in.
@@parker469a Yeah, they have said that they wanted both of the games to be two different things or well at least feel different but the same and can go back to play the original still if you wanted.
Fantastic editing, Clemps! You’ve improved heaps in the past few years.
18:51 For those interested in playing the original Playstation/PC/Steam version, gonna highly recommend The Reunion mod (includes the Beacause relocalization).
The only thing that bothered me with combat was playing as Aerith. The enemy aggros to you so quickly that I never really saw the point in playing her...
I actually loved playing her. She played into how I play well. She was a trooper, and got me out of many problems.
Unlike some reviews with awkward jokes or being just a view bait, this is my favorite review I find on RUclips.
I am not kidding when I say you sold me on this game with the cat review. More than anything else, I wanna see these cats.
I really liked VIIR and enjoyed it- up until that ending. I spent the whole game marveling and wondering what they'll do in the next part, but now I'm just nervous that I won't like it.
Wesley Farber same
I honestly don't think there's too much to worry about :) here's a quote from an interview in the new FF7R ultimania book:
Question: "If we follow this Remake’s story, then the next installment might have major changes compared to the original, right?"
Kitase: "I’ve talked about this extensively with Nomura, but I’m sure fans of the original are expecting to revisit familiar locations and scenes, so we have strong feelings to not stray away from that. From here on out, we’re not drastically changing the story and making it into something completely different than the original. Even though it’s a Remake, please assume that FF7 will still be FF7 as usual."
*edit*
Nojima added: "For me, I create scenarios that follow the general flow of the original story but with the assumption that the way things are presented or how events occur might be slightly different. "
@@Redyeti5 They already changed the fate of characters who previously died, so while I'm sure they'll keep the general plot beats from point-to-point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a *lot* of weird stuff on the way.
Like, can the Wutai questline even happen? Shinra are super hostile towards them in this timeline.
Just remember this: disregarding the ending, it's blatantly obvious that a lot of love, care, and ridiculous amount of quality was put into this game. All the amazing characterization, story moments, attention to detail, music, and enjoyable gameplay....all of that will carry over and will be 100% in the next game regardless of whether the story changes they intend to implement end up being huge mistakes or pure genius. So if you look at it that way, it's bound to be an enjoyable ride even if it doesn't end up being perfect.
I get that. Half of me loves it and the other half hates it. I'm just letting the games take me for a ride and keeping an open mind. I'll probably end up loving it.
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONED THEM CAT GRAPHICS!!!!
Whenever the game was recreating scenes and moments from the original, even if altered or different they were absolutely stunning and amazing.
And whenever it went off on something completely new or that uhmm Yknow which plotline im talking about. It was pretty abysmal.
Such a mixed bag. This game woulda been 10/10 if they stuck to the script.
And also if the enemies and bosses had less HP. some of those fights go on for WAAAY too long.
The better you know how to handle them, the quicker their HP bars melt. In general, switching between characters frequently (and not getting thrown off your rhythm while doing so) makes them far more efficient death dealers, but each enemy has their own tricks you can exploit.
Also, someone still owes Cloud a pizza.
Holy shit. Been subscribed to you for over a year. This video is so good. Made me realize you are probably the best video game review channel out now. You are so funny, but you arent telling a million jokes they mostly come from your tremendous editing and sound effects. You do so many little things just to entertain the people that happen to catch it.(rock and a hard place) you arent screaming about anything and everything, because it doesnt warrant it. You come across as passionate, smart and informed without being dry and boring. It took me this long to realize it but you are really good at what you do and you should keep doing it as long as you can.
10:35
Cloud: Aerith! LANGUAGE!
Aerith: I'M ABOUT TO DIE!
I'm most looking forward to my boy Vincent and what they'll do with his limit breaks. Though as that's not until the second continent I don't think we'll get there in the next game if I'm honest.
Also actually controlling Red XIII in combat.
I hope the transformations aren't limit breaks this time. Or if they are, then make it so they can be turned off. Nothing worse than Galian Beast healing Materia Keeper with no way to stop him.
@@TheSlammurai I was thinking about this earlier. I do think they should keep his limits as the transformations, though I definitely think removing the elemental affinity would be a good idea.
So Vincent transforms and he loses access to items/magic just like original. This time however we can control him and he has a similar set up to the summons. He can attack, and he has access to a couple of special abilities so he's not completely out of our control.
Whether it's a permanent state until the end of the fight or it's timed (again like the summons) l don't know. It'd be pretty cool too have a big flashy move when the timer runs out and he goes back to being Vincent again.
They could of course just have him transform, do a special move, and then immediately go back to being Vincent. That would certainly be the easier option as otherwise they would have to create all the animation assets for controlling even more characters.
I'm excited for the rest of the cast and their own play styles. Yes, even Cait Sith. I'm most psyched for Red and Yuffie myself.
I hope Vincent has the ability to jump a hundred feet into the air to broodingly shoot his preposterous revolver at a helicopter and then shoot twenty more identical helicopters.
Also, I love the constant use of nine wood hills in most of your more recent videos, that song is a chill bop 😌
I just love watching you talk about final fantasy. I really enjoyed you opinion clemps
And here I was just watching your Dirge or Cerberus video.
Your FF content is so good my dude, thanks for all the great effort you put into them.
Onto watch the video!!!
Mild Spoilers regarding the Ending of the remake:
As someone that has heavily mixed feelings regarding the ending and the "defying fate" plot line, i'm at the same time giddy with joy and excitement, yet filled with potential dread,
Maybe Sephiroth wont be the big bad, maybe Jenova will have a more active role in the story? Will Aerith still get skewered? Will there be more fake-out dream scenes? Is the extra fluff from the compilation going to be shoe-horned into this? WHAT THE FUCK WILL THEY DO WITH ZACK?
You just cant turn your eyes away from a good train wreck, and with the way this is going, it will probably be the biggest train wreck possible, i am almost 100% expecting Genesis and the Sephiroth Brothers to show up during the next game, with Angel and Dirge of Cerberus Vincent in all of their post Kingdom Hearts Nomura Glory.
I'm all in for Nomuras Wild ride, and I am expecting we will reach some Kingdom Hearts and Rebuild of Evangelion type of Shenanigans.
Final Fantasy 7.77 YOU CAN(NOT) REMAKE will be one hell of a beautiful train wreck. The mere thought of it fills me with hope an despair
All aboard Nomura's wild ride, we are going at 100000 miles per hour,multi-track drifting and the brakes have been removed, one way or another it will be glorious.
@@RandomToast give me the details please
Qaztim Eleven oh it’s a ducking trainwreck. And since Sony owns Naughty Dog and is actively pissed with them, I’m predicting they might have a talk with SE since the remake is a PS4 exclusive and Sony desperately cares about their sales now after the ending for the remake has been controversial atm
Maybe it's not septhiroth. I remember in the original, jenova broke away pieces of itself to form septhiroths to push forward the reunion to awake the real septhiroth.
He's still the big baddie. Don't worry.
I know im super late to this channel, but Clemps... Your sense of humor tickles me to no end. I LOVE YOU
Hey Clemp, thanks, genuinely, for doing this video. I know you probably just did it because you wanted to but I was really apprehensive about FF7R from everything I've read about it and my special attachment to the original, and seeing you be completely honest and blunt about the game like this just feels nice and alleviates fears I had. I need to give the game a try, it doesn't have to be a 1:1 copy to be a good game.
Coral Town prison and Dyne is what Im dying for, especially since Barret gotten such a Glow up in the remake.
Two things I'm hoping they keep for this remake.
1: the different Bahamut summons
I personally enjoyed these because it not only showed that Bahamut was prominent in every aspect, but also diversed him as not just a singular entity, almost like a species.
2: The Jenova fights
I think this is self-explanatory
100% agree with you on the soundtrack. Feels like it's like "overly orchestral" in some instances if that makes sense.
I didn't enjoyed it as much as i wanted to, I don't like action RPGs and what they offered didn't impress me, the battles were too long, I'm sure that for does that liked the system were excited for battles but to me it felt like a drag, also, maybe it's just me but I felt that they really focused the fights on staggering the opponet, like I didn't do to much damage unless I stagger them which makes sense but it felt weird for me, but my biggest problem in combat was the camera, some times it wouldn't let me see the enemies or will spin in some battles.
The secondary missions felt like filler, sure you get to see around Midgar and interact with it's citizens but that didn't feel like a reward to me.
The dungeons (at least the majority) really drag on and on, it felt like they were stretching them just to have more content.
But for things I enjoyed, the interactions, I loved the Jessie back story and I hope they do something similar going forward, the materia system was perfect and I find the character's unique modes really interesting and give you an incentive to switch characters ( something that I actually enjoyed about battles)
I'll give my opinions on the story in your next video, looking forward for it.
Aerith was like watching drag race on a thursday night honey
I really love how you use the Nine Wood Hills theme in your videos, it's an integral part of the Clemps experience for me. What an amazing song.
For flying enemies: The material we need for this I believe is already in the original. The "Float" spell.
For padding: Was wondering how we were gonna grind levels with no random encounters. I think maybe that's it.
What about the Long Range Materia? Originally first available in the Mythral Mines, which conveniently happens to be the first dungeon after Midgar in FF7. The image of Cloud casually slicing out blade beams like those in the motorcycle sections and Tifa punching out balls of ki is an exciting prospect. The kicker, though, would be that just like Magnify in part one, there's only a single copy of the Materia available, so you have to pick who gets to melee from a distance.
I’m actually excited to see barret past in part 2 when they go to his home town
I want to see how much of a stud Dyne looks like.
I'm super duper excited to see all the characters' progression/backstories in the next installment and be able to play as Red in combat. I am in love with this story so much and cannot wait to see what is done from here on out
Surprised to see so many people didn't know multiuse was a thing. I noticed very early on. What actually took me until now to notice is that you can press triangle to save from the menu without going into Save/Load.
The amount of hint and foreshadowing in this video is rival with the game it self. You outdone yourself there lad
I am subscribed to so many channels, yet, this is the only one I have the bell on for.
Never stop with the Melvin joke Clemps its the best reoccurring gag ever! XD
Omg that multiuse button. You weren't alone. Jeebus I'm so mad now that I finished it that I never noticed that button!
Tempest is amazing for either slow enemies or staggered enemies because it builds massive amounts of ATB and the staggered nature of the latter hits of it means you can get more than just 2 ATB actions in a row.
I was waiting to see you tackle a ff7r video. Great work as always. I felt the same way as you mentioned in your video. Can't wait for part 2!
I.... I didn't know there was a multi use function :(
Fantastic video, looking forward to your story discussion! Especially 'cause I've seen the Foxcade podcast (highly recommend that one btw for anyone reading this) and agreed with all of your points regarding the story.
Yeessss!
I'm very excited for the next part to see you cover the story, cause that's the reason why I'm just interested in this game now!
Love the edits, they gave me a good laugh
I'm the most excited for the gold saucer date...I can't wait to see how they SPICE that up, especially if we can still have a bro date with Barret...
I hope they open it up and let you go with anyone in the party, even Red and Cait.
@@TheSlammurai ...and Vincent...
@@ZombiiChix "Have you ever wondered what a human tastes like? Chewy..." - Vincent
Great video, mate. Love your editing chops.
I'll be skipping the second video because of spoilers.
I really liked the idea of story parts being a separate section.
I wasn't really planning on purchasing this game at first because of stuff I'd heard about the ending, but given that a lot of people, including old-school FFVII fans seem to enjoy it just fine, makes me think I should give it a shot. Really, most people seem to agree it's good like 90% of the way through and the ending is the only divisive part.
...now I just have to wait for the PC port. Might be a while on that.
I played it way back in the day and I liked the ending just fine. A lot of people are being overly hyperbolic. The representation and how it's shown could have been handled better here and there, but it ultimately made me enjoy the remake a lot more.
AHHHHHHH NEW VIDEO! I haven't watched it yet, but I know I'm going to have a good time
FYI there are bad texture popping issues even on a PS4 Pro. Also I'm really happy you noted the good cat graphics! You vindicated me because I was going on and on about them and my friends thought I was crazy.
There's a reason I've come to love this channel. Clemps is weird as shit but so fucking loveable. He's like that redheaded sibling everyone knows is adopted but loved regardless. Your review is bang on. It's really unfathomable how lifelike the characters are. The goddamn dogs react to your presence! The dog!! It moved its head when I ran by. It telescoped my movements. The amount of care/attention it must've taken to do this should be illegal.
Then there's the banter; the shinra stair sequence dialogue had me in tears. Barret acts black. Not stereotypically black, actually black. Amazing. The NPC's are quite diverse in age/gender/race. Which is a welcome addition without pushing a narrative.
Didn't have an issue with the story because I've all but forgotten the nuances of the first game. 97 was a long time ago, couldn't appreciate a great story at 12. Was much more concerned with flashy moves and battling/summons. Don't remember the original anyway.
The battle system is incredible. Combining turn base and action elements cohesively is no small feet. Tifa plays like a monk, barret a tank, cloud a swordsman and aerith a mage. They're all very unique and play entirely differently. Some are better suited for a particular situation. More importantly, the game forces the player to explore each character, at least on a superficial level. The multitude of choices; attacking, healing, blocking, switching, staggering, movement patterns, etc can initially become overwhelming. But some hours in the Colosseum, understanding each characters nuances makes combat extremely pleasurable. The difference between playing correctly and not is massive. Spamming attacks will get you killed. Very few games manage to reward/punish player without changing difficult. Fights can be a 10s faceroll or 10 minute struggle for life. All depends on player choice. My only gripe was the lack of it. Replaying on harder difficulty - skipping the cutscenes exposes how combat light the main campaign is. Hopefully, subsequent releases changes that.
The summon's were great, even though they obviously cut Bahamut's megaflare animation. Wasn't too happy with that. It's not like I'm a big fan or anything..
Overall 9+. God of war was better. Best game I've ever played actually. Like you, the low resolution graphical short falls were stark, especially since the majority of the game is absolutely gorgeous. Did I mention, the character models have ankles!?! Ankles... Just wow.
I ACTUALLY squealed when I saw this posted: always excited to watch your stuff!
Great video. (As always). Hit a lot of great points, and funny as all get out. 10/10
The two places I look forward to seeing the most in part 2 are Cosmo Canyon and the Forgotten City/Capital.
Yea maybe we will meet up with Donald at cosmo canyon
Ok, i am an old fan of FF7. And i mean old, i grew up watching my aunt and uncle playing this game and when they gifted me their old ps1 this was the game i begged them to let me play. I played it to completion, couldn't kill all Weapons, Ruby was a bitch, but i got all summons, the best materia, all party members and their ultimate weapons + limits, lived through the entire story and cried at the end.
Now i have recently played the Remake and.....its not bad. It draws a lot from the original, the music is fantastic, the combat is fun and a bit addictive and the exploration is not that bad.
The only thing that worries me is....well the story.
Dont get me wrong i loved how much they fleshed out the world and characters in the game. Heck i didnt even remember the members of Avalanche that died when the plate fell on the slums but now i did and i will remember Jessie, Biggs, Wedge and the moments they shared with us...but here is the problem, not going to spoil anything, that honor goes to Clemps, it seems they are trying to create a Golden Ending for FF7. You know, the tipical where all main characters survive and live a happily ever after. It feels a bit....ok no, it feels A LOT kingdom heartsy specially with the addition of the, mmmmm lets call them smoky condoms no spoilers that way, smoky condoms and their shenanigans...as well as Mommy Issues and his shenaniganery.
As an old fan, i see the remake's story as a new story being told with known characters in a "what if" scenario but...it also worries me that the new generations will get something not as good as the original in the story department and that, i feel, would be a shame.
The story of the original taught me the concepts of caring for our planet, freedom, tragedy and hope and that is what i want the remake to do, even if the story is not the same, i want it to be able to inspire in its own way, to teach things like the original did. If they manage that, then i will be satisfied, because a RPG is more than just a game, its an adventure in a new, fantastic world...and that is something i feel it has been on the decline lately.
Sorry for the testament, but i needed to say this.
Waiting for part 2 Clemps, dont let us hanging too long!
I totally get the mixed feel for the remake's additions. The newer story bits are concerning. Given how they handled the evacuation of the falling plate's zone in 7R, your Golden Ending concerns are valid. Even though I'm stoked to see the rest of the game world be fleshed out as much as Midgar, I am worried about the KH levels of tomfoolery. And even if a "what if" scenario, I can see the worry that newer generations wouldn't play the original.
The crazy frog jokes had me dying. Lol

I personally want to see Costa Del Sol again. I have always loved beach/resort areas in games. I also hope we get to see Vincent Valentine again - I know we probably won't, but maybe we encounter him early (like how Yuffie could be encountered early in the oroginal game).
I also want another variant of the "Fanservice Dress" scenes and have it be a Swimsuit scene with Tifa and Aerith. Have it be unlockable swim suits/swim trunks and other outfits (skins) for a New Game+ or something.
Having Surfing, and/or Beach minigames (like volleyball) for a fun/goofy distraction like the dancing scene too.
You earned a Like and a Subscription! AWESOME Review!

Finishing the game I think Remake has a much deeper meaning than we initially thought.
Thank you for bringing up the Mako Reactor theme. I had the same exact thought while playing the demo. I'm not exactly clear how much Uematsu was involved with the soundtrack here. I had the impression that he only really worked on the vocal track for the credits.
I can't wait to see how the other characters will control! I love how all four of the playable heroes all play differently in fights, and I'm super-excited to see Red and Yuffie in particular.
Ah, the new Reactor Theme gave me chills the first time I heard it. The violins with the oppressive drumming felt unsettling and I'm glad they kept the bells. Though I definitely prefer the more unsettling synthy vibes from the original overall. The OG really gives it the feeling that this machine is something unnatural and wrong.
great video Id love to watch part 2 but sadly im waiting for the pc release
see you in 2+ years probably
YES YES. New Clemps video!
16:05 By that token, you could say it’s great that the game has grown up alongside you.
Now you’re an adult it nicely reflects a change in perspective.
All I want in part 2 of the remake is seeing everyone’s reaction the moment it My Chemical Romance king, Vincent Valentine, makes his HD debut.
I'm excited to explore red's and cloud's home towns. The character interaction is soo wonderful in this game that just giving them something to talk about ooozes charm.
Great video as always. Btw about the textures, according to Maximilian dood, it's a bug and they're working on fixing it.
If that's true I look forward to going back and finally seeing clouds door pop in.
By fucking chance I browsed Pat's Twitter and saw you had uploaded holy shit
I also want to explore more beyond of Midgar in Part 2, and hopefully get the rest of the party together (mostly an excuse for me to thirst more on Vincent Valentine than I am), but I'm confident in the FF 7 Remake Project and Nomura's direction on where it will go, so I'm just overall excited and ready for Part 2!
Great job on this video! Can't wait for the next one!
I don't know about you guys but playing the remake made me want to play the original. I wonder how the game feels without all those ghostly shenanigans.
OMG I'm so hyped to watch this, I adored remake, it was such an emotional journey :D
The Review I've been waiting for!
This game is easily an 8 or 9 out of 10. It's amazing if you're a fan of the original, and even a fan of jrpgs in general. It has it's flaws sure, but everything else it does so good and right that those get really downplayed.
The ending itself isn't as bad as people make it out to be, because it sets it up to where(without spoiling), it makes it so the remake doesn't have to 100% follow the original game's script, and can go on its own merit.
Either way, it's a great game to have, and can't wait for part 2.
Imo it didn’t need to set up an excuse to do that though. They could’ve just trusted their own writing and if people asked/complained they could’ve just told them that not everything can translate to the new game style well enough.
The problem is that the way they did the end is so stupid it ruins it for most people, even the ones who would otherwise be happy with it.
As a fan of the original who wanted new players to experience FF7's story and themes without having to pop in a 23 years old PS1 game, the ending is pretty dissapointing.
This never was a 1:1 remake from the start. The amount of stuff they added and expanded upon without changing the major story beats could already amount to a new game and was like a dream come true. That's an aspect I favor in great remakes like RE1 and RE2's: they change enough and expand on things that make both new and old players experience new things, while keeping the same overrall feeling and iconic narrative moments.
It didn't matter that the major story beats were the same, this game was for the new players, and I'm happy with the new, expanded stuff, aswell with the reinterpretation of the classic scenes.
Which take us to the ending. It's all still very cryptic, but the way they framed it and used some of the new stuff (the ghosts), it seemed like their direction going forward is to change very heavily the plot of the OG, turning this into a "fight against destiny" narrative that, while may be good in the long run, deviates too much from the Originals themes. It seems this won't be a story about death and its consequences anymore, so it saddens me that the majority of today's playerbase will never experience such powerful message.
I'm curious to see how it develops, but I really don't feel like playing the other parts until this whole project is over and we can look at the complete picture.
What I could say I want the most of in Part 2 would be Red's hometown (I think?). Or Cid just popping into view. Which ever is fine by me.
I'm not sure how Uematsu created a more diverse-sounding soundtrack with like 127 MIDI instruments than these three composers with a billion-dollar orchestra and 2020 recording techniques.
Good OST though, and great game. And great video!
Creativity through limitation can lead to fascinating results.
I can't wait to see how they handle the World Map system going forward, as well as a good chunk of the optional content too.
(Vague-but-potentially-massive spoilers below)
The thing I would like to see most in the sequel is them doing a surprise reveal that this is secretly also a canonical sequel to Chrono Trigger, and that Marle is actually Marle, here because they discovered that Jenova is either the same species as, or a past or future version of Lavos, but is simply laying low because she realized how this world's version of The Entity reacts poorly to attempts to change history, and subtly helps to aid the party in doing so. To be honest, it's the only thing that would make me forgive all this shoehorned-in defying destiny nonsense. Final Fantasy 7 is a story about making the best of the shitty hand fate deals you, not about the nature of fate and whether it can be changed. If they tie it in with a story that *IS* about whether or not fate can be changed, on the other hand...
As someone who never played the original (but still watched Advent Children with zero context and still enjoyed it) and never fully committed to FF games in general, I'm honestly pumped to give the remake a go based on what I've seen, flaws and all. Plus, the casting is great in both the English and Japanese versions. It honestly made me fall in love with Aerith and Tifa every bit as much as the character writing did.
the music alone made this game amazing.
Part 2 I want to see the Golden Saucer, and the Dyne storyline. It will be mindblowing, and a very solid emotional moment when refabricated.
Can't wait to how the rest of the crew plays! Looking forward to seeing how they hit all the upcoming story beats, particularily how Wutai will be now, given all the emphasis. That will play in big come Junon Harbour.
One quality of life change? Give us a master list of unlocked weapon properties to easily take stock of all the "soft" stat changes (mana regen, buff/debuff duration, etc).
I agree with most of your points particularly with the whole flying targets crap ugh. Having been playing FFXIV again Im really appreciating how they constantly make the eyes more lifelike. You blink and they move more but what means the most to me is that They let motions show in the eyes too. It’s not just grumpy face but also the smiling and the degrees of smiling. They brought a lot of that to 7R as well and it works! Now I just want Badger and his house of cats to be ok 😢
Oh that one cat that was suppose to represent Cloud. Those eyes were like hypnotoad but better!!
3:50 cross?
SOMEONE SHOUTED THAT AT ME LONG AGO...!
"TRIANGLE!"
YES,SIR!
I have been waiting for this since i watched the foxcade stream.
Our savior the Clempiest of the Clemps has returned ❤
I need team attacks in the second part that cost atb for every member involved. Also, brief summons, as in, just the final attack (that costs a chunk of mp and atb) to use against trash mobs in dungeons or overworld, but still have the option for regular summons in boss battles. And the option to switch characters mid battle (maybe two atb bars and once per battle).
Ever since last year's E3 presentation, I haven't stopped thinking about this game's combat. And it delivers. Big time. I cannot wait for even more options with materia, weapon customization, and skill expression in the coming games. It is going to be incredible. I hope we get to have equipment with even more and more slots so we can build stat beast juggernauts! I'm chomping at the bit for new about part 2 now. Honestly, FF7R might be my new favorite game.
The reason for good looking cat technology is quite obvious considering the series main cast, once we got the complete team in future games. As we got a lab rat dog, a fursuit and someone with an edgy fursona.
The thing I can’t wait for is more part members, how they’ll play, and what they will do about the optional characters like Yufie and Vincent.
Wow is that triforce at 5:30 from The Light of Courage animations? That brings me back to IGN in 2006 lol
So who besides me is excited for Yuffie!?
Eh?
... Anyone?
I’m excited for her to steal all our stuff
You're not alone mate. There are dozens of us! DOZENS!
When I first saw the new character Kyrie I was expecting her to be Yuffie in disguise, especially when I firar saw her character model on the train ride back from the first bombing mission, but was disappointed that my theory soon came burning into ashes when revealed as just being a new character...
Meeee!!!
I can't wait to see how she's going to play! And what they're going to do with her story.
A ninja in this combat system. Fuck yes!
They do have a job to differentiate her from Tifa, but seeing how different Melee-Mode Barret is from Cloud I think they will nail it.
What I’m looking forward to in part 2 is just going out to the field and looking around and possibly meeting my boyfriend Vincent.
I can't wait to see him too.
Hey, I'm uploading and dping commentary in my ff7 play through. As a fellow gamer I would like a honest opinion on what you think. Hell you cam tell me it's shit and I'll be fine, as long as your honest.
GaptoothBast#rd I really enjoyed the remake. My only real problems with the game are the side quests and how some blend together and how some areas drag on. Also fighting enemies in the air was kinda janky.
@@VincentEternal yeah, I feel the same.
GaptoothBast#rd it has flaws but I think the good outweighs the bad and I can’t wait for part 2
