Nanaki: "I'm going to out-live all of my friends..."
Vincent: "I'm immortal. We can hang out."
Nanaki: "All of my friends."
Cloud: im a god
nanaki is racist against two leggers.
i read this in the tfs red XIII voice XD
Great, well that will certainly cheer Vincent up, thanks Red
Four legs good two legs bad
when i first played final fantasy 7 as a kid, i knew absolutely nothing about the game, everything was a surprise. i remember getting to the shinra building and seeing red 13 and thinking he looked so cool, but expected him to be a boss fight. then he joined the party and i was i just thought he was coolest character ever. then at cosmo canyon i thought he left the party, and spent hours in the area trying to find a way to get him back, i was mortified..then as i was leaving he rejoins the party i just thought yes! this is the coolest character ever!
then aeris died and i cried.
Yes. This.
Robot Raptor the struggle of people who had no idea about the game getting the newest one.
from the music and story i was blown away. first rpg i played until the end and still holds a place in my heart. i have bought it on the ps3, pc, ps1,etc. everytime it was available.
We all did cry because we lvled her and then she died :D fuck you game :D
We all cried when Aeris died and still cry to this day.
I always rename Red XIII to Nanaki and when I get to Cosmo canyon where it explains his name by saying "Red XIII is Nanaki" it says "Nanaki is Nanaki" and I always thought that was funny lol
I named cait sith "I'm a spy" in my last play through lol it's funny to see his name in dialogue.
Fun fact: Nanaki is Nanaki - got this also in my game happening - took a picture. Memorable moment. Picture was taken several days ago
I do this too
I didn't renamed my Red XIII but I still got "Nanaki is Nanaki" in the dialogue
SAME
Red XIII doesn’t get a lot of screen time, but I swear that scene where he’s howling as his petrified father cries is the strongest emotional moment in the game for me.
His rebirth scene has me tearing up too. It's an underrated moment
"Scout ahead, Red."
"You got it, Black."
"You get a pass."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whoever hasn’t watched that series has missed the greatest thing on youtube
Red X I I I, and iiiim HUNGRY 😂
Maybe not bring a carnivore when looking for giant birds
I really hope Nanaki gets more character development in the Remake. He is my favorite FFVII character, or rather, my favorite in the franchise. He deserves it.
Also, 4:42 one of the reasons Nanaki barely speaks nor appears in Advent Children was because of budget reasons: animating his fur was supposedly hard and expensive.
He could be the therapist of the group, given his life span and experiences.
@@Dracobyte Im sure he is getting WAY more. Everyone is getting way more. They are not limited to text boxes and a bit of movement anymore, so they can show so fckn mutch!
@@lilbucky9624 They said that?
@@lilbucky9624 So no other places?
@@Nosretep There's gonna be episodes, they're covering the full game, but they're supposedly going into so much detail that Midgar alone is a 30+ hour game. So eventually we'll get the whole story, the first one ends at the escape from Midgar, so we'll at least get to see Nanaki in the first installation, unlike Yuffie/Vincent/Cid/Cait Sith.
The laughing children could actually be the pups, they're just as sapient as Red himself is. I do think they were trying to say that humanity is pretty much extinct.
Yeah it’s true, Kazushige Nojima confirmed that Humanity is completely extinct at the end of the game.
@@AdiCool88 Unless you count Vincent as part of Humanity,who is Immortal
@@u.local_jellybeanuvu5281 Yeah I forgot to mention him actually, so from the Gang, only Vincent and Red exist. It’s actually pretty sad.
He's one of the characters I use the most, and I love how he's really supportive, friendly and loyal to Cloud. His style is also really cool, I always love those animal-like characters in most RPG games, they are always so unique, and the way he attacks is also really awesome, actually his animation for magic and summons are also one of my faves.
And I was really disappointed there wasn't more of him in Advent Children.
Ikr I would have thought in the complete version of advent children hed atleast get another scene or two.
I'm looking forward to seeing his limit breaks in the remake. Lunatic High is going to be amazing in an action based game and Cosmo Memory should be a sight to behold.
i thought the children laughing at the end of the game was the planet laughing instead of screaming like it does throughout the game
I wasn't even aware there was laughing... do you have to listen really carefully?
What about the most obvious thing? Nanakis two kids?!
that's what it sound like to me
I think it's a decent theory. I'd say the planet was crying, and if I remember correctly after some ~15 years since I played it last, they refer to it as that. I'd like to think humans are dead, it does sound like more than 2 laughs so not the cubs, and a side note, I expected his voice to be more growly and animalistic so I don't like it in the movie and his cubs should be yelping. I like the idea that it's the planet, thanks.
I like to think of it as the rebirth of the planet. After years of abuse, the growth of the plant life indicate, to me, a re-vegitated area that was once home to malicious intent and afterwards, nothing. This "laugh" is the planet,or life stream, growing stronger through purist nature.
"A life may end, but a tree, reborn"
Red XIII is a precious and underrated cinnamon roll.
Everybody should have their own nanaki.
He certainly deserves justice in the remake
@@Gabriel198765432 he also needs more screen time even as a party member he always just kinda hung out in the background except in his story
He is my favorite cinnamon roll.
@@littlekitsune1 red is the one who holds title of goodest boy.
5:48 "In all ways except physical, I am a human."
That joke popped into my head, too, LOL.
am i the only one that somehow SOME WAY found the scene where nanaki finds out about seto more sad than aeris death?
Michael Lück I never likek Aireth/Airis from the start. She was too pure.
Michael Lück I cried
Eeeeyeyyyyyyy nice last name, my name is Dante Lück! :D is it a common last name btw?
Definitely, especially with the tear and the howl at the end.
To be fair I was still playing Suikoden around the time of FF7 and Gremio's death was far more sad than Aeris.
allerdings
4:13 Speaking of Red XIII being a dog and Costa Del Sol. As Cloud, you can kick that soccer ball at Red XIII, and when you do, he gets up and savagely barks at you. So, I guess he's a wolf in tiger's skin.
Catdog.
I did that so many times
I didn't know there were FF VII books, so thanks for that info. Nanaki is easily my favourite character in the game; I remember wandering around Cosmo Canyon or just standing idle while doing other things to listen to the theme. I know it's cheesy for statues to cry, but finding Seto petrified knowing Nanaki's history still gets me to do the same.
Great vid, thank you.
I found that the only scene in the entire game that was emotional to me back when I first played it. The music really sells it too. I didn't really care about the famous Aeris scene at all.
Does the character have to be a member of Cloud's group? If not, then maybe you could do an in-depth look at Rufus Shinra? There's a surprising amount of lore related to Rufus.
My argument to that, and I'm unfortunately late, is rufus is cait sith. It's recent at, the time of my comment, video of cait sith, but it is one in the same. This was disclosed during ffvii so... I feel u learn about rufus through cait sith
@@hjkljhhkl i think you mean Reeve... not rufus shinra
@@iQuantom1 yes. Thank u
@@hjkljhhkl all good man. Though u made me question myself and what i thought I knew with a quick google! 😅
jaythesupernerd94 yeah he even has a brother
My favourite character when I played ff7 like 20 years ago. Spent most of my time kitting him and cloud out with the best items and materia.
For some reason I have to have red XIII in my party every play though, i don't know why.
Please tell me you're going to do Sephiroth at some point though, I mean you have to. Right?
Love the FF content! Keep up the great work man!
I always like to think Nanaki's people were an ancient race that lived alongside the Ancients as protectors of the planet.
It explains how the residents of Cosmo Canyon knew so much about the planet and the Lifestream.
At some point, the two were one. Hojo even tried to breed Nanaki and Aeris. He must've thought they were genetically compatible in some way.
Likely because he discovered links between the two in ancient texts and was testing to see if Nanaki is potentially an Ancient despite his beast-like appearance.
I really love Red XIII. He is my favorite character in games. Sadly he is underrated.
Nanaki's story always makes me tear up. Living his young life thinking so badly of his father. Then learning Seto gave the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone. Nanaki in turn growing so much pride on learning this, he howled a lament. A powerful scene.
Red XIII was always my favorite character in FFVII.
Squall in FFVIII
ViVi in FFIX
Rikku in FFX
Payne in FFX-2
Fran in FFXII
Fang in FFXIII
Prompto in FFXV
what about your favorite character in FFVI/III?
Addy Garg Good question, I still haven’t decided those yet
dncarlo24 👍🏽
By the way, the voice actor who plays Red XII is Liam O'Brien (Illidan from Warcraft and Gaara fron Naruto).
And vax/caleb!
11:23 wait wait...HOW DID YOU BRING ULTIMA WEAPON IN THAT CAVE?!
Save file editor
i think "Deneh" is pronounced "di'NAY", and this is just me going off what I learned in MGS5; "Diné" is the word the Navajo use as title for themselves as a tribe, translated to "the people". Loose Native American connection, but I think it checks out.
Don't worry about it too much, we only read the names, so I don't blame you for any pronunciation quirks. Though, if someone I knew said "Yunn-ah" instead of "Yoo-na", it'd become clear they didn't play FFX at all cuz voice-over. I remember playing Kingdom Hearts' intro and thinking..."WHAT? 'Tee-duss?!' No way, I've already decided it was pronounced 'Tie-duss' and no one can change my mind."
YOU HEAR THAT, DR. ROBOTNIK?! YOU WERE NEVER "EGGMAN" TO ME AND NEVER WILL BE!
Can a speaker of Navajo confirm this?
@@ZhangtheGreat good on you for asking, cuz like i said, this bit of knowledge came from a Hideo Kojima game, so it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. BUT! Death Stranding reportedly has a character that speaks Creole (genuine Creole, too, not someone who knows French and tries to emulate the dialect just to fail in the subtleties. and it was a big deal for some speakers of Creole to have some genuine representation in a high-profile media product). So, I will express some trust in Kojima's care and effort to represent the cultures of others with as much authenticity as he can (even when he's making fictional history to parallel our reality).
@@marther3898 just looked it up, Jay Tavare (Code Talker's VA) is a Native American, so the pronunciation is at least likely acceptable.
And why didn't they just use a soft on Seto??
Because you need a *supersoft* and those weren't invented until FF9!
Doctor Tot has the patent for supersoft, so there's nothing they can do for Seto
I suppose the same reason Palum and Polom couldn't be healed with one. Does this mean the Mysidian Elder's powers surpass Bugenhagen's?
Petrification in rpgs can only be cured before the person solidifies into stone. Seto died decades before cloud sees his stone body. Waaay too late.
And I'll be the asshole that says, "Deal with it. Story"
Just a little thing I picked up on that I noticed wasn't mentioned around 8.42: Hojos reason for trying to mate the two would be to conceive a specimen with the same lifespan as Red. The reasoning is due to the research hojo needs from Aerith would take more than a hundred years as stated by himself upon speaking in the scene with him in the shinra board room. Amazing videos, thankyou for continuing to delve into this absolutely timeless and wonderful game!
This. He even talks about it in the executive meeting beforehand, saying that because the research will take about 120 years, he wanted to breed her.
I like the direction they went with the FF7R voice actor for Red. A little more gruff, but also still sophisticated and wise sounding.
4-8: Red XIII is a cool and deep character
Me: lmao doggy go nyoom
For the extra ending for FFVII (the 500 years later thing), maybe man kind has grown wiser and decided to stop using the lifestream for selfish purposes. They decide to live in harmony with the planet instead. Therefor, the city of Midgar, and its Mako-powered machines, are left to rot.
and some guy called Frank Benjamin created a way to harness the power of electricity without Mako
Zephyr Weiss 10/10
They had invented turbines and coal power before mako energy took over, it was a plot point in Barrett's backstory even.
Or maybe yu yevon came back with sin 2.0 to punish everyone for using machina again
Red XIII looks like a hyena/wolf to me. I feel like he was underrated in the game.
The one yelling was cait sith on his back
Yeah, I thought that to, because the voices are two different voices
2:03 This is so golden.
I did the same thing but Sephiroth and Albert Wesker.
I always considered Red XIII's theme and Cosmo Canyon theme two movements of the same song really, like one is the introduction to the other, with the other's development of the musical ideas only to hit at the right time when the plot unveils in the scene to gave the emotional impact like in the movie with the right passages in the dialogue and so on
You are the worst for bringing the image of the nightmare fuel face-in-the-wall back to me without warning after years of repressing that shit.
God, like 15 years later and it still triggers my fight-or-flight response.
Outside of Aerith's death, the scene with Nanaki and Seto is probably the saddest thing in the game. I still get a little misty-eyed thinking of it.
I can just picture Red and Vincent just vibing or playing Monopoly while everyone else is dead.
Maybe the laughter was that of Nanaki's cubs?
14:08 when you realized a Lab rat dog got a cellphone before you did...
take awhile to realized that Vincent...
Let me also chime in to say that yes, Red XIII has both canine and feline traits. While he's called a dog by some characters in-game, howls like a canine (both during limit breaks and in the scene with Seto), growls, whines, etc., his overall look from the mane to the anatomy of his legs is feline (or as other say below, he seems rather hyena-like in how the canine and feline traits are combined) and he most definitely roars in the final FMV at the end of the game.
Pretty much everything you included in the video was things I already knew or had at least heard of, but there were some new intriguing details, plus you explained and related it all in a quirky and funny manner. :) Nanaki's always been my favorite FFVII character (though I do also love Aerith, Cid, and Tifa) and you did an awesome job addressing what makes him so unique and fascinating. Plus you included some awesome fanart/photo manipulations!
A few interesting side notes/things to ponder:
-The Gi. I was always fascinated by them as their origin is never really explained and their design looks like little else in the game (even beyond being spirit creatures). Is there more information about them, or what may have been intended for them?
-I really do hope Cobalt and Indigo are in the remake, and that Nanaki isn't just a cameo. Also, while I did like his Advent Children voice (it was very kind, gentle, and lovable, which very much fits him), I think a deeper and more resonant voice would also be appropriate (just not as deep as, say, Kimahri).
-On a related note, his look 500 years later, where he's gotten bigger, broader, buffer, and grown out his mane into a thick, shaggy, gray-streaked, bearded look makes him somehow even more badass!
-Am I the only one who, aside from the other obvious aspects of the Cosmo Canyon/Seto storyline, found the Seraph Comb itself to be something of a tear jerker? Just the way its flavor text in the weapons menu is "Memento of Father" is so quintessentially Nanaki--simple, heartfelt, and respectful.
-On a different note, as often as Nanaki's dialogue in the game is either Captain Obvious, erudite, or solemn/pensive, he actually got a number of great comedic lines. Aside from the memorable part on the ship where he claimed to look convincing disguised as a human, and what you show in the lab scene ("An informed question....I am what you see."), I always laughed at a) his claim his tail had a mind of its own, when playing with the soccer ball in Costa del Sol b) his protestations to Bugenhagen ("Grandfather! I'm 48.") and c) one of his very first lines, when Tifa was startled he could talk ("I'll talk as much as you want later, Miss."). LOL!
Technically you see him ever so briefly at the end of Dirge of Cerberus, sitting outside of 7th Heaven. But good analysis :)
Love your ff7 Videos absolutely awesome!! More of this please keep it up!!! :D
That fucking dr nefarious bit was so fucking funny hahaha
even though he isnt a party member and has their own side game, an in depth look at zack would be interesting
The Great Warrior scene made me cry the first time and it sometimes still does today.
How does this not have more views!?!? Keep up the great work.
I’m not so concerned with pronunciation of names (good humor on your part) as I am with how you say “excape” instead of what is obviously “escape.”
Great videos. Thanks!
Red XIII is my favorite character. Enjoyed this video. About to watch the other videos. Playing this game for the 5th time on my Switch. Love it so much. Hopefully we see a Zack Fair video. Can't wait for the remake next year!
I think "Deneh" is an attempt at transliteration of Diné, the name of the language of the Navajo. Also, its the name they use for their people.
Dude it sucks these types of vids take so much time and editing, this is the quality stuff that gets views. Heard about your year in the FF1 playthru... hope it gets better.
Really well done video, a lot of it i knew but there was some information i didn't know, thanks for taking the time to make this, I enjoyed it very much. Somehow the fact they were gonna make aeris and red copulate some how escaped me, wow lol just a bit hardcore for it's time.
Yooooooooooo I love the new introduction!
I see the word as Reegen, it's from regeneration though and pronounce it reggin'. Who cares?
Thanks for the video, Red's scenes made me cry when I was younger.
+ChikoWhat Thanks! ;)
I loved red XIII line in advent children "there are still children with the stigma" his voice! i wish he was more involved in the film!
Red XIII gets 1 line in Advent Children because the Japanese voice actor they got to voice him was someone famous somewhat ^^
because they say Red is too difficult and costly to animate which is why he was barely in it... I hated that fact..
2020 remake made Red absolutely adorable and sassy. I really like that they gave him more personality especially calling Barret 300 pound sack of shit and or calling himself a lab rat dog. Also the new voice actor for Red really hit the nail.
Thanks ^^
hmm...what about chocobo-guide, or may be sort of it?
I always thought seto drops his materia because grandpa says "Thats setos..." he doesn't finish but always assumed he meant materia.. Not actual tears, which is also interesting cause he did it as a way to show he was crying and heard his son. Idk.
Red 13... Red means stop
13
Stop 13...
They should have stopped at 12...
They should've stopped at 9. Nien! No more.
@Donald Trump all the good ones have walls too. And they're invisible. Still beat any wall you've created xD
Stop after 11!
In the FF7 Remake (Spoiler warning, by the way), the possible future is flashed showing that 500 years later scene of Red XIII. Barret asks "What the hell did I just see?" and Red remarks "A glimpse of tomorrow if we fail here today". This carries the implication that the human race did not survive in that timeline.
Gods damn, I love so much that there's basically an ALL FINAL FANTASY 7 EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER POSSIBLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FF7 channel XD
Thank you so much for all of your content. That world is truly among my favorites
When bun wagen or whatever his name is (red 13's 'grampa') showed red13 his dad who was turned to stone, red 13 howled at the moon. HOWLED AT THE EFFING MOON. If that doesn't tell you what he is, may God have mercy on your soul.
that yelping in AC 4:02 was actually coming from Cait Sith. you can tell based on the voice used for his Scottish accent. thanks for these, though!!
I thought this too, but there is a little yelp that can be heard behind Cait Sith's. It's just one small example anyways, I figured some people would get more out of it than others.
English dub is non-canon anyway lol
nop, you can still hear Nanaki a little bit
@@Zephyr_Weiss I only hear a lion roar from him. Which he used to vocalize through the whole movie.
you were giving nightmares by a monster and not the earth falling apart like pie crust that was a exsitainal crisis for me
18:42 Most adorable thing in the whole video.
I thought the sound of children after end credits were they wolf cubs?
Can you tell about tifa because I know so little about her and the little that I know is Crisis Core and FF7
I love this series! Please do all of the characters!
I usually had the Red XIII theme playing when doing homework during my Jr.High and High School years. Just a relaxing beat~
I want a Red XIII/Nanaki focused FFVII spin off
As you go in depth with his story, I can't help but think maybe Red XIII is some short of off-shoot or precursor or whatever to a moomba. They are pretty similar, in fact super similar in appearance. I think I'm on to something
Barret:"All I want is a talking dog best friend!"
I always thought Red XIII looked more like a lion or a panther: the mane, the tail, the ears, the lithe body. But I guess people see what they want to see. My favorite character in one of my favorite games! His Lv 1-2 limits are the comparatively the best, in my opinion, though his Lv 3-4 fall behind the others in damage. Don't care though, I used him as my main companion the whole game.
He has the appearance of a lion, but behaves like a wolf.
when I first learned the fate of seto I started to cry, I just was not used to this kind of things in games, hell just remembering it is making me tear up.
Informative and funny as hell video- loved it! 😂☺️ Nanaki is one of my fave characters ever anyways... Back in 1997, oh the feels... #ifeelold
Same. Playing it for the first time since 1997 in 2019!
Correction:
Hojo only gives tattooed numbers to what he considers a "successful" experiment.
Zack, for example, was injected and unaffected. Cloud he discarded as a failed experiment and thus why he pleads for a name (number).
Beacuse Sun Glases over Glases is not Hardcore enough.
Do an in depth look at Gary. Definitely my favorite FFVII character; he has one of the most epic lines in the game when he says "Hey, I'm Gary". His limit break "I'm Gary" is badass too, and his ultimate weapon, "Gary Name tag" is probably the coolest final fantasy weapon ever.
Thanks for the video.
I actually have red xiiis tattoos on my arms and legs lol
Nightmare fuel boss could be one shot with a x-potion
Am I the only one that renamed Red XIII to "Nanaki" and Cait Sith to "Reeve"?
nope lol. never thought to do it with cait sith though
Clairice Dale After my very first play through, I always named RedXIII 'Nanaki' and I always named Cait Sith 'Reeve'
Nananki because it's his birth given name and Reeve because reveals himself to be Reeve during the last portion of the game.
Yeah I always rename red 13. Never thought to do it with cait sith...probably because he's my least favorite character
Clairice Dale I don't remember even attempting to level him up a single bit, One dumb character.
@@ComaAlpha but still even though Reeve reviels himself its still a walking talking Cait Sith doll he made it even has a will of it's own so i never change Cait Sith's name becouse of that
Found this content after finishing up FF7:R and wanted a refresher on how the old story goes. Now I'm going through your backlog and its awesome. Thanks for the great content! 👍
The Hell with those guys. I said Aries name the same way. My childhood will always trump their opinion. lol
doesn't red xii have a cellphone? yeah, he does have a cellphone!
Well then, he can play Diablo Immortal on that! Lucky him!
Underused ? I'm sorry but I'll use Red XIII over any other character he's by far the coolest
That's not what he meant, he was referring to how much Red XIII was used in the story.
Yeah, he's still the most overlooked out of the bunch, with only the possible exception of Cait Sith
@ Ninetales Commander
Most of the playable characters in the game, bar Cloud, Tifa, and Aeris (and Sephiroth if you count him), are only tangentially related to the main story. So in that sense, most of the characters are underused.
However, all of them (except Cait Sith) DO have side quests that enhance their character development, even if only minimally (as with Vincent). And in Cait Sith's case, enough of the game's mandatory dialogue revolves around him to make him at least somewhat relevant.
As for those character development moments for each character:
Barret - the beginning of the game, and Corel
Red XIII - primarily Cosmo Canyon
Yuffie - primarily the two optional quests in Wutai
Vincent - the optional quest with Lucretia, and some brief Midgar disc 2 dialogue with Hojo
Cid - the scenes in Rocket Town (both times)
It's worth noting that this kind of character development is decidedly more lacking for more of the characters in, say, FF8 and FF9.
+iamdeafzed6 Good points all 'round...as far as your last statement, do you think this issue with the extended character casts was ever "fixed", so to speak, in other FF's?? I do think that X's technique of having the 'main' character really just be one of the guardians of the story's central figure, Yuna, was a really interesting approach, and different. 8 managed to sort of sidestep the issue by connecting them all through the twist halfway through (I won't say what it is here, justttt in case someone somehow still hasn't played it). Actually playing through that one right now
@ mywhychromosome (creative user name, by the way)
Being that I'm something of an older gamer now, my take on FF as a series is that FFX was effectively the last good one Square (and later Square-Enix) ever made. As in FFX was the last Final Fantasy worthy enough of the franchise's namesake.
Frankly, I'm not much interested in the ones beyond FFX because, certainly from a story-telling point of view, they're not even good enough to be worth critiquing. To be sure, FFXII is an above average (if still often annoying) game in terms of overall playability, and FFXIII is at least playable, but neither one comes even close to the kind of groundbreaking transcendence that used to be the hallmark of Final Fantasy games.
I consider FF6, FF7, and FFX to be the three best ones that Square has made to date. FF8 and FF9 were good games in their own right, albeit with more serious flaws, particularly from character depth standpoints. FF5 is ok, but requires too much grinding or else is overly difficult; FF4 is good, albeit unrefined and rather punishing if you don't know what you're doing.
FFX failed in the finer details of trying to make a convincing plot, but if one can ignore that, then I think its main outline is actually pretty damned cool. It did a very convincing job of depicting a despair-ridden world, with the Summoners (based on the teachings of Yevon, which are increasingly shown to be suspect) being its only nominal hope. And things like blitzball being, at least, a distraction away from all of that despair. In other words, a world in which the masses are constantly grieving, constantly suffering, and from which they desperately seek to be delivered.
Tidus, Auron, and Yuna are all fairly well tied to Jecht in some way, so their character relevance need not be questioned much. Rikku's main contribution as a character is the fact that she's Al Bhed, which creates tension with Wakka (particularly), and that the Al Bhed are against the teachings of Yevon. Arguably she's the main reason why the party ends up straying away from the (knowing) false hope of Yevon, to begin with.
Lulu and Wakka are mostly just living examples of the despondency of Spira (Wakka lost his brother; Lulu failed a previous summoner and it clearly made her bitter). Kimarhi has his own side tale of redemption, and is a minor tie to Auron/Jecht and Yuna.
In sum, I consider FFX to have done a pretty good job of providing meaningful playable characters; FF8 and FF9, not as much.
I dat through the entire 25 years of my life thinking Red was a cat. Thenmy daughter walks up and asks what the dogs name is. Then the girl in Costa del sol says Red is a dog. And im just like fuck my life
Ok guys, show of hands.... Who else thought that red xiii's dad had materia coming out of his eyes and not tears. Just me? Ok. 😂🤣
Gonna be interesting how they pull off Red XIII trying to pass off as a human sailor in the remake
Considering how much the remake changes, I’ll have to assume this won’t be done, but I hope they do sailor Barrett.
I'm casting my vote for Tifa for the next one.
I thought you wouls have mention the theory that red xiii was a reference to red mages because M is the 13th letter of the alphabet, and red xiii has average stats in both physical and magical
Cobolt 14 and Indigo 15... wow that is certainly some creepy stuff. Also the implication that Hojo stole Red 13's eyeball...
i am brazilian and didnt understand much spoken english, but i understand written english. can you explain that part about these colored clones for me pleeease?
@@ElsweyrDiego Em um script alternativo, que acabou não saindo no jogo, o grupo lutaria contra esses dois clones coloridos do Red XIII, também lutaria contra outros 2 clones exatamente iguais e teriam de adivinhar quais deles seria o Red XIII verdadeiro. O Red XIII não deixaria o grupo matar os clones, pois eles seriam os últimos membros da raça dele, mais tarde, na dungeon final do jogo, os clones coloridos reapareceriam com implantes cibernéticos pra atacar o grupo, querendo provar que eles seriam os guerreiros mais fortes.
Red XIII, everyone's favorite lab rat dog
could you please make a video about the stats / status effects ? means , what is moral for , what is sadness /fury ? would be great :3
18:52 got some nice motif action up in here
YUFFIE DAMN YOU *SOBS AND EXHALES*.......I'm okay!
great ff7 videos and series but sorry to be that guy, after playing rebirth, it's actually pronounce nah-na-key
Cobalt 14 and Indigo 15, huh? I'll be honest: I wouldn't mind at all if that scenario was fleshed-out and implemented in the FFVII remake. It sounds like it could add an interesting layer to his character that (as this video rightfully pointed out) was lacking in the original game.
without a doubt, i would bet we are going to see a lot of those types of ideas in the remake as side-quests and what not.
Cloud: “So, any update on Red?”
Rex XIII: *I CAN SMMMMEEEELLLLL THHHEEE COOOSSSSMMMOOOOOSSSSS!!!!!*
Barret: “Yeah no, he still high as f***k”
I know the evidence says he is more canine than feline but, his anatomy says he is feline. To put an end to it, at the end of the game when you see nanaki with the cubs ascend the cliff and look down upon an overgrown midgar, HE ROARS like a lion.
He has a howling limit break......
Its Probly prononced dene (den A) like the tribe of natives pushed into Northern Canada by the plains cree (the indian type used in every movie and tv show ever)
God dammit! Your awesome videos kept me up till 2. I need to be up at 7:30.
