I hope you LOVE this first episode of Final Fantasy VII with special guest, John Bentley, voice of Barret in Final Fantasy VII Remake! Took us a little bit to get sorted at the beginning (a first episode always does) but eventually we settled to have 3x speed off, random encounters still on, and god mode (limit break cheat) on, at least for the beginning, to set a good pace. We'll adjust as necessary in future playthroughs so *please always let me know your thoughts!* We're all here for the story anyway right? :)
Because Bill Clinton was in the White House, Economy was booming and there were no wars or conflict yet! The 90s was the best decade in my opinion!!! ;)
His voice actor is part of the reason he's my favorite party member in the remake. He was cool in the original but he's truly heroic and badass in the remake.
John's hype is so endearing and cute! It's wonderful to hear Barret's voice while seeing the original game that I fell in love with as a kid. Also, Briana calling Aerith "my girl!" warms my heart. I'm so overjoyed these actors love their characters as much as the community does!
6:47 "So this is the fun part: Back in the day, you had to think of how they sounded." It's true. But to go meta here: The voice he always thought about for Barret's speaking parts while playing FFVII on his couch in the living room way back in 97', is now the same voice we hear for Barret for real. His Barret became 'our' Barret, And That's #%&@ing Awesome!
True RPGer. Never progress the story, until all doors are entered, all chests are opened, and all NPCs spoken too. And when you missed something that cannot be obtained, new game.
I love how enthusiastic John Bentley is about everything, his joy and love for this game is infectious! I hope you guys do this again, but with the first part of the Remake when it comes out!
That John is old enough to have played this back in the day made this so much better. I hope as this goes on you will both do the voices of your characters as you read them.
There might be a few surprises for you in store. Mostly I wanted to make clear that we wanted to keep Remake separate and special from this playthrough and that voice acting is work for us and we wanted to have fun for this. So while you may get a line or two in character here and there, we cannot promise to do the whole thing like that. I hope you continue to enjoy the playthrough! 😊
It's amazing how you can hear Aerith's voice in Bri at times when she's not Aerith. There was one instance where you can hear it clearly. That flower scene was just as great!!
wait....what... Legit question: Do you think they intentionally started you off as a lvl 6 character that then levels up to 7 as an abstract transition from FF6 to FF7????
This is great. I'm liking Barret a whole lot more now. John's enthusiasm, and SRG's wide eyed, tongue in cheek banter. Perfect! My kid has just started playing this on iOS. It's so great bonding over one of the best games from the last 20 years. Looking forward to episode 2. Hopefully SRG doesn't keep missing the hidden treasures! I know its still a few episodes away, but I can't wait to see what she chooses to do with the Phoenix chicks!?!
I was 9 when I first played this game, and I remember getting lost and it ook me 150 hours to finish, I demanded the strategy guide for my birthday, poured another 140 hours into the game. It was the only thing I played for well over a year solid. My best friend had it too, and we would go to each others houses and watch each other play it, arguing over what team was the best to have. 9 year old me never thought 30 year old me would end up watching this.
I was 12 when it came out but didn't play it until I was 16. Think I would the had a hard time playing this as a 9 year old. Think 9 year old me would the quit saying this game is hard.
I played it when I was 8 or 9 too... I remember getting stuck in the Sector 6 slums. You know, after you leave Aerith's house, that junkyard before Wall Market? There was a plank that you have to walk up, but it faded into the background for me, and I couldn't find it. I got frustrated, so I eventually put the game to one side. I came back to it about a year later, and found where I had to go immediately. Kicked myself _so hard_ for that! I went on to finish it and it had a huge, lasting impact. One of those little forks in the road of life where you know things could have gone differently. I grew up with the FF series and RPGs in general as a result. I remember, after buying the strategy guide, having a save file with hundreds of hours of playtime on it - I had one of each Master Materia for every party member, everyone was max level... I beat Ruby (but not Emerald) WEAPON. Then my memory card died and I cried pretty hard, lol. I was always afraid of growing up "too much" and changing too much, losing touch with the stuff I loved when I was young, but thankfully I now know it doesn't work like that, at least for me. Considering the train wrecks and squandered potential that Square has been putting out in recent years, seeing the remake gradually take shape and look amazing is a surreal experience. The whole world's expectations will reach a fever pitch... I only hope they can satisfy some bit of that clamour.
Hearing John point out how fun it is to voice the characters back in the day made me feel so happy. I used to love to voice the characters when I played games, and honestly it made me want to pursue being a voice actor. It makes me so happy to hear him be so passionate.
As someone who played this game when it debuted as a young teenager, it makes me so happy to see others enjoy it for the first time. On top of that it's really cool that you guys are so authentic... Like the kind of people I could just chill with. Makes it even more exciting to play the game, knowing the people involved are like you.
I can't express how much I love this. You both are such lovely people, and your positivity and enthusiasm for the game really shines through. Watching this warmed my heart. Thank you so much!! 😁
This is great. John is so perfect as Barrett. Thrilled with the voice casting overall, and the fact that you guys enjoy the material makes it even better.
Omg I really love both of you I’m so glad you guys are voicing two amazing characters. You both really bring Aerith and Barrett to life I can’t wait for April 10th!!!
I already watched this on Twitch, but I’d just like to say, this has been long time coming given your role in the game, so thank you, truly. And John Bentley is such a great guy. Looking forward to the next episode.
I honestly lost my shit when I saw this video in my recommendations. The concept alone is amazing. Briana, You just earned a new subscriber. And from everything that I've heard so far in the trailers, I'm pretty sure that you kill it as Aerith in the upcoming game.
I was 14 when this game came out. This game really personally had a huge impact on my life as far as being the person i am now. I've been looking forward to the remake since the promise was made on the PlayStation 2 days... i've been waiting since. I've played every spin off of the series. Congrats on being the VA for Aerith. From the trailers i've seen you do her charter awesome for sure. Can't wait to get my hands on this game. Looking forward to seeing more of these play-thoughs.
I would have thought Brianna played this game before, also Briana's the perfect Aerith, beautiful and sweet a person as the character, and John literally nailed Barrett, who is one of my fave characters in this game and Remake. Totally the voice I imagined too. The casting in the Remake is SPOT ON man.
There needs to be more voice actors play their games (only 2 others I'm aware of) because it's really good insight into the process, plus the reactions are fun. congrats to you both
Mr. Bentley's voice sounds close to perfect for Barret; maybe he didn't even had to change it (tone, depth and soundy) to make it sound like the tough, strong Avalanche-leader. And Aeris/Aerith will be soo awesome to hear via Bri. ^_^ Have ordered the Deluxe (I think. The second-most expensive edition which includes the art-book, and a extra materia) version. Maybe it's book credits you guys and the other VA's as well. :D
i've pre-ordered the deluxe edition too, unfortunately due to the change in release date (good friday) there are no post deliveries at all! so have to hope it arrives on tuesday 7th or wed 8th, since thursday is also a "holy day" otherwise i'll have to wait until tuesday 14th QQ
I love that John played this when he was a kid. Seeing how passionate he is with the camera angles and how mind blowing it must have been back in the day just melts my heart
I must’ve accidentally stumbled upon your page through RUclips’s algorithm. However, I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan. I’ve defeated FF7 multiple times. I’m currently playing FF15 now until April. Just wanted to let you know you guys are doing great. And having watched the trailer-which by the way-hit me in the feels, I can confidently say you two are going to do awesome and justice for the game.
Hi! Bri. So cool that you are doing this playthrough. Dont know if you or John Bentley know it, but cloud's cross slash animation practically spells "badass" in kenji as it lands on enemy. So excited to see more of this. :D
That's so cool , Bri! One request : could you do the same with Britt Baron someday? It would be awesome to have Aerith and Tifa laughing together about the game they belong to! People tend to forget that Aerith and Tifa are real friends, not just love rivals!
My favorite part is when you take time to read the dialogue and talk about it. You both look so into the game and your respective characters, it’s just surreal. I love it! I’m eagerly expecting the next parts.
The remake is already looking amazing but seeing the people who worked on it have such enthusiasm for the original just makes me more confident we are in for something special.
Now listen, AERITH, sometimes you’ve just gotta accept the fact that you NEED to KILL things to SURVIVE. Here, I’ll show you! *destroys Hundred Gunner with Big Shot* THERE! It’s over! It’s done! We’re safe- *interrupting Heli Gunner* -AW SUNUVABITCH!
Ever since I've started watching your videos, I have come to respect you very much. Your enthusiasm for your role is something that I really respect. Thank you for your videos! I normally don't watch entire playthroughs but this was entertaining all the way through! Thank you Briana and also John for this! This is seriously hyping me up for the Remake EVEN more!!
You guys are the perfect voice actors for these iconic characters. It must be an amazing feeling knowing you’re part of what many consider one of the greatest games of all time. Can’t wait to hear more flower girl 🌸 in the remake 🤩
Not just too actors Briana, two Final Fantasy VII voice actors. You guys are now attached to the series for ever. Thank you so much for elevating the characters we love at these heights.
Imagine being in John's shoes: Playing Final Fantasy VII as a kid. A game that was a massive part of your childhood. The vast array of characters sucked you so deeply into the story that you felt like you were in the game yourself. And then 20 years later when you're all grown up and you still have the fond nostalgic memories of that game, NOT ONLY do they announce a remake, but YOU get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to voice one of your childhood video game heroes. That's a real dream come true.
This was INCREDIBLE. Thank you for booking the time and making this happen you guys. It will be a joy watching this game brought to life by the new cast, for a new generation and the original one too!
Wow im so very pleased to see you 2 voice acting both Areith & Barrett from FF7 remake & it was absolutely amazed of how great the graphics are including all characters which looked pretty realistic too I've managed to complete it a few weeks ago, & a it's also nice to see you 2 play the original FF7 which came out in 1997 on ps1 & rememberd both my brother & myself managed to play on it non-stop then completed it quite a few times, i still own FF7 remastered version on my ps4 but not only that but i also own FF8 & FF9 remastered & managed to complete those 2 as well, anyway very best of luck on the game you 2 Stay Safe & Take Care😁😁😁😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
That's why I said the final fantasy VII remake cast is an extraordinary group of voice actors not easy job to be a voice actor and to bring the emotions through thanks John and Brianna for play to the original final fantasy VII
I love how Barret voice actor is so excited about the playthrough ...Love his enthusiasm just awesome!!! And please let him do the voice acting while reading the texts he wants to do it let the people get what they want
Great match for Aerith Voice! and Barret too, I love it. I can't wait to play the game. 😁🤓 When I hear your voice both it gives me a familiar but different feeling when I played the game back then. Great job. 😍
It's funny that you say "this is giving me Rogue One vibes" when it, along with Biggs & Wedge, is a blatant Star Wars reference since Sakaguchi loves the film so much.
mmhmm.I always thought that was a cute reference. It is in a sci fi universe after all. :) I love that it looks like they have expanded roles in the remake though! Along with Jessie.
Couldn't think of a more perfect game to playthrough. Lol, I would've love to see whoever voiced you character in the original though. What an interesting collab that would be.
The original does not have voice-acting, but Mena Suvari and Mandy Moore voiced her in Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts respectively. They are both pretty high-profile actresses so that would be an interesting stream for sure. :)
Knowing that the voice of Barret in the remake loved the original as much as I did makes it feel almost personal. I'm even more excited to play the remake than when I was back in middle school saving up money to buy a PS1 to the play this Final Fantasy game I knew nothing about that everyone at school was talking about. FFVII has a dedicated part of my heart as the first RPG I completed and the game I used to try to get my oldest son more interested in reading. I even collected all the FFVII "potion" cans when I lived in Japan back around 2008 (my wife recycled them when we moved...I still haven't forgiven her for that).
My daughter's name is aeris, you know, from the mistranslated English version. My ex just altered it a little bit to aerishelle. But we still call her aeris. Ff7 for life.
Seems pathetic for some other people naming your kids from vid games, but people named their kids from movies, books, and pop idols. My daughter’s almost 19 now and in fact liked her name too. People would ark her if she was named after that vid game character. My son’s name is Cid and other daughters is Liara.
Love watching the two of you play this. Yoo 2 were so great in the remake! Voice work was golden. You improved Aerith so much and the work on Barret was perfect. Barret is my spouse’s favorite. I just finished my 3rd play through and got the platinum. Absolutely love it. I had gone off video games while I was in school in the late 90’s until a friend kept telling me about a game I had to try. He loaned me a copy of ff7 on PlayStation 1 . After playing it for a weekend I went and bought my own PlayStation and a copy of this. Never looked back. This and 14 are my favorite final fantasy games.
OMG!! this going to be awesome..ty..ty..ty...LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! Making me feel like a kid again...speaking of kids..ordering pizza for them...i'm not cooking tonight now....this is too much...sorry i'm just beside myself...im sooooooooooo hyped!!!!
You both are legends 👏🎮, Barret voice actor so good 4 real haha, i trust Bri for Aerith too my girl you beautiful, this dream is getting better everyday ❤❤

it could be nice arguement
Oi fala comigo
@@muhammadomer2553 I will definitely be finishing God of War :)
So much fun! I am eager waiting for the next episode!!!!!
Never thought i see aerith and barret play ff7 together.
Hope you enjoy it! :)
It will be even more epic later on when we get Aerith and Sephiroth!

This is the Barrett voice I heard in 1997. So glad he is the voice.
Personally I heard Mr. T, but Bentley is on point.
@@invock agreed, totally had Mr. T in my head back then, but Bently's Barret is perfect as well
Dude is spot on with what I heard in my head as well.
BIG L
I actually thought mr T voiced him for the remake i looked it up and that lead me to this video
This is SURREAL. Barret retelling the events of FFVII to a wide eyed Aerith.
Thank you.
cool cool... love these guy... but not going watch whole video... them just going to spoil the remake....
daddy Barrett will help Aerith play through the game :)
@@campkira aw I wanted to see their reaction to seeing the thing with sephiroth and aerith
Mind blown
@@campkira Don't worry, there's a lot in the remake that isn't in this!
Its a like a dad tryna explain to his daughter why his generation was awesome.
Except in this case, the dad is right!
Heck yeah!
His generation (also my generation) WAS awesome!
Because Bill Clinton was in the White House, Economy was booming and there were no wars or conflict yet! The 90s was the best decade in my opinion!!! ;)
TOTALLY digging the voice actor for Barret! He’s great!
Thanks for the heart Aerith!
L
He totally pulled of the character!
Barret is my absolute favorite!
@@austinclark5278 Aerith voice actor is hot.
His voice actor is part of the reason he's my favorite party member in the remake. He was cool in the original but he's truly heroic and badass in the remake.

Thats exactly what I thought. I am excited to hear a genuine fan as a voice actor.
I always thought would sound like Mr. T the whole time XD
Yeah from what I've heard he nailed it lol. Atleast to how my 11 year old mind perceived it back in 97 lol.
All of us from the 80s 90s should be proud we have made it this far to see this
You swear like barret too!
“There’s Cody!...I mean Cloud.”
True RPGer. Never progress the story, until all doors are entered, all chests are opened, and all NPCs spoken too. And when you missed something that cannot be obtained, new game.
I just make a new save every time so I dont have to fully restart. Hopefully we can do that on remake!!
But, I did all those things and I still got stuck in the Water Teme.
Yep. Although incremental saves are better than completely restarting, saves time by letting you jump right back to whatever you missed
Also keep speaking to the NPCs until they just repeat the same thing. LOL
And in instances of games like Kingdom Hearts or Legend of Zelda, leave no pot un-smashed.
The guy playing Barret sounds like my headcanon voice for him.
Same lol when I heard his voice I was like "wtf this dude sounds EXACTLY like he did in my head"
He does. He absolutely nailed Barret's voice in my opinion.
Yea he absolutely nailed it!
He's also the canon voice
I love how enthusiastic John Bentley is about everything, his joy and love for this game is infectious! I hope you guys do this again, but with the first part of the Remake when it comes out!
Bri: You had Aerith in your party, right?
John: ...
🤣
Hahaha a person who's never played ff7 asking a real fan that question made me laugh, then a tear
About that . . .
First 30 mins? Can you get Arith in the 1st 30 mins?
Shamefully, my A team in the original was Cloud/Cid/Yuffie
That John is old enough to have played this back in the day made this so much better. I hope as this goes on you will both do the voices of your characters as you read them.

@@StrangeRebelGaming I hope it's more than just work for you guys :(
@@xPhantomxify their resting voices sound different than their characters. It's a strain they can't just flex the voice and risk injury.
@@StrangeRebelGaming Kinda a legal thing too I bet, which is understandable
"1997. When it was Square, not even Square-Enix yet"
Squaresoft all but forgotten...
first when i hear news about they are mergin together , i got shock and hoping they didnt stop making FF series (rpg game), hhaha
Not by me Chrono trigger and super Mario RPG legend of the 7 stars I believe are square soft
I'm glad Square Enix exists, it's the "era" of Squaresoft that I miss. :')
I thought Squaresoft was the studio for the FF CGI movie?
People dislike the merge but remember, if they didn't merge that means EA would still publish final fantasy games in NA
"C'mon newcomer.
Follow me."
had me hooked!
Oh
I cheered
i giggled like a little nerd 32 year old weirdo lol, yes, it was IT, the VOICE OF BARRET IN OUR HEADS
@@jacobnamod3034 35 year old nerd here lol
Seeing John and his enthusiasm is making me like Barret even more.
You can tell how much he enjoyed the game and his passion for it.
Barrett's voice sounds like a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude
So I wasn't the only one thinking of Tropic Thunder when I first heard his voice, LOL!
Aaaaahahahahaha yyyeeeessssss!!!

Just... thank you.
man, John's passion for the game is so great to watch
mmm. you can tell he loves the game and maybe that's why he got the part of Barrett in the remake :)
This is mind blowing. The new voice actors playing the original.
already such an iconic duo ♥️
can't wait for their real in game performances 🔥
Hope you love Remake when it comes out! :)
@@StrangeRebelGaming omg yes i will love and cheerish every single second of this game 😭♥️
Barrett trying to show Aerith the ropes :)
It's amazing how you can hear Aerith's voice in Bri at times when she's not Aerith. There was one instance where you can hear it clearly. That flower scene was just as great!!
It's because she's not doint any specific techniques, just being an angel with her voice, so basically Aerith is her natural voice
"C'mon newcomer.
Follow me."
After that,i will follow you to the ends of the world man
4:37 I LOVED BARRET SO MUCH IN FFVII REMAKE!! He made me cry laugh so many times!!
Did not realize you were doing the voice of Aerith in the remake. Congrats on that awesome gig!
I looked up photos of the new cast and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't figure out where I knew her/you from!
wait....what...
Legit question: Do you think they intentionally started you off as a lvl 6 character that then levels up to 7 as an abstract transition from FF6 to FF7????
That makes sense and also is kind of genius 😮
Ihaia Rollo i think that’s exactly it because if I remember correctly, you start off at lv7 in final fantasy 8
Yep
Galaxy brain moment 🤯
That is straight up genius observation
4:36 soooo freaking bad ass man I am so glad you are barret :)
"Who did you use?"
"You better say aerith"

Aerith telling Aerith how much she loves the voice of Aerith 🤔
Yep. For 20 years I called it “make-oh” and not “mawk-oh”
I think they are calling it Mah-ko because in Japanese a is pronounced ah. So they just went with it that way.
I prononced it the same way. Also, I used to say chocobo as "coke-a-bo"

There needs to be more voice actors play their games (only 2 others I'm aware of) because it's really good insight into the process, plus the reactions are fun. congrats to you both
Joe Zieja voices one of the main characters Fire Emblem: Three Houses and has been streaming the game for a couple of months
@@joeb918 yeah retro replay, forgot about Bryan Dechart and yet I follow them haha
Troy Baker, Nolan North, and the NieR Automata characters did theirs, I'm sure there's loads more
This is one example that makes the internet so great. We get to hang out with our favorite celebrities in streams and chat with them.
Mr. Bentley's voice sounds close to perfect for Barret; maybe he didn't even had to change it (tone, depth and soundy) to make it sound like the tough, strong Avalanche-leader. And Aeris/Aerith will be soo awesome to hear via Bri. ^_^ Have ordered the Deluxe (I think. The second-most expensive edition which includes the art-book, and a extra materia) version. Maybe it's book credits you guys and the other VA's as well. :D
i've pre-ordered the deluxe edition too, unfortunately due to the change in release date (good friday) there are no post deliveries at all! so have to hope it arrives on tuesday 7th or wed 8th, since thursday is also a "holy day" otherwise i'll have to wait until tuesday 14th QQ
I love that John played this when he was a kid. Seeing how passionate he is with the camera angles and how mind blowing it must have been back in the day just melts my heart
I mean, he was about 28yo in 1997, so far from being a kid.
I must’ve accidentally stumbled upon your page through RUclips’s algorithm. However, I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan. I’ve defeated FF7 multiple times. I’m currently playing FF15 now until April.
Just wanted to let you know you guys are doing great. And having watched the trailer-which by the way-hit me in the feels, I can confidently say you two are going to do awesome and justice for the game.
That means so much to me to hear. Thank you 💜
He was SO excited to be present while she experienced this for the first time. 😂
Hi! Bri. So cool that you are doing this playthrough. Dont know if you or John Bentley know it, but cloud's cross slash animation practically spells "badass" in kenji as it lands on enemy. So excited to see more of this. :D
That's so cool , Bri! One request : could you do the same with Britt Baron someday? It would be awesome to have Aerith and Tifa laughing together about the game they belong to! People tend to forget that Aerith and Tifa are real friends, not just love rivals!
My favorite part is when you take time to read the dialogue and talk about it. You both look so into the game and your respective characters, it’s just surreal. I love it!
I’m eagerly expecting the next parts.
15:48 it kills me that he remembers these scenes down to the exact goofy animations xD
Bri looks so happy in this video : D awesome lady X
The remake is already looking amazing but seeing the people who worked on it have such enthusiasm for the original just makes me more confident we are in for something special.
You really are in for something great :)
Barret: Why!? Why would you do that, sweet little flower girl!?
Aerith: It looked hurt!
Barret: *NNNNOOOO!!!!!*
Machinabridged! XD
@@EvelynL.1112 love that shit! 🤣
HAHAHAHA
Now listen, AERITH, sometimes you’ve just gotta accept the fact that you NEED to KILL things to SURVIVE. Here, I’ll show you!
*destroys Hundred Gunner with Big Shot*
THERE! It’s over! It’s done! We’re safe-
*interrupting Heli Gunner*
-AW SUNUVABITCH!
Hahaha ohh my god its happening
Ever since I've started watching your videos, I have come to respect you very much. Your enthusiasm for your role is something that I really respect. Thank you for your videos!
I normally don't watch entire playthroughs but this was entertaining all the way through! Thank you Briana and also John for this! This is seriously hyping me up for the Remake EVEN more!!
That makes me so happy to hear! Thank you! :)
You guys are the perfect voice actors for these iconic characters. It must be an amazing feeling knowing you’re part of what many consider one of the greatest games of all time. Can’t wait to hear more flower girl 🌸 in the remake 🤩
just finished the remake. Just want to say THANK YOU. You two are awesome and your voices and the characters are eternalized for me
I can’t wait for Final Fantasy 7 remake this April!!!!
you mean this Mapriltember?
"I will....never be a memory"
My dad got it the day it came out it’s sooooooo good I love it it’s nice to play
This sparked joy. thank you!
This was so fun and wholesome, I'm excited to see more!! Thanks for putting this together ♡
More coming soon! So glad you enjoy it
What is this? A playthrough within a playthrough? O_O
Not just too actors Briana, two Final Fantasy VII voice actors. You guys are now attached to the series for ever. Thank you so much for elevating the characters we love at these heights.
John makes me smile. He’s so happy and enthusiastic as well as sassy and funny
Imagine being in John's shoes: Playing Final Fantasy VII as a kid. A game that was a massive part of your childhood. The vast array of characters sucked you so deeply into the story that you felt like you were in the game yourself. And then 20 years later when you're all grown up and you still have the fond nostalgic memories of that game, NOT ONLY do they announce a remake, but YOU get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to voice one of your childhood video game heroes. That's a real dream come true.
This was INCREDIBLE. Thank you for booking the time and making this happen you guys. It will be a joy watching this game brought to life by the new cast, for a new generation and the original one too!
Wow im so very pleased to see you 2 voice acting both Areith & Barrett from FF7 remake & it was absolutely amazed of how great the graphics are including all characters which looked pretty realistic too I've managed to complete it a few weeks ago, & a it's also nice to see you 2 play the original FF7 which came out in 1997 on ps1 & rememberd both my brother & myself managed to play on it non-stop then completed it quite a few times, i still own FF7 remastered version on my ps4 but not only that but i also own FF8 & FF9 remastered & managed to complete those 2 as well, anyway very best of luck on the game you 2 Stay Safe & Take Care😁😁😁😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
"Sounds like you need to go to the doctor for that." - And there we have the most Barret line, and he's not even trying to be Barret.
That's why I said the final fantasy VII remake cast is an extraordinary group of voice actors not easy job to be a voice actor and to bring the emotions through thanks John and Brianna for play to the original final fantasy VII
I love how Barret voice actor is so excited about the playthrough ...Love his enthusiasm just awesome!!! And please let him do the voice acting while reading the texts he wants to do it let the people get what they want
My god u 2 did a fenomenal job on the FF7 Remake! So impressed! 💗
Great match for Aerith Voice! and Barret too, I love it. I can't wait to play the game. 😁🤓 When I hear your voice both it gives me a familiar but different feeling when I played the game back then. Great job. 😍
It's funny that you say "this is giving me Rogue One vibes" when it, along with Biggs & Wedge, is a blatant Star Wars reference since Sakaguchi loves the film so much.
mmhmm.I always thought that was a cute reference. It is in a sci fi universe after all. :) I love that it looks like they have expanded roles in the remake though! Along with Jessie.
FFVII has always kind of struck me as a gaming version of Star Wars. I would describe both not so much 'Science-Fiction' as 'Science-Fantasy'.
You gotta bring in the other VA’s and complete the set!
Please do! :D
It would be weird to see aerith's voice actor and sephiroth's voice actor in the same room XD
@@tastypotato9272 theyre just silent the entire vid
@@tastypotato9272 sephiroth's voice actor is super nice, but i understand why it would be weird for sure lol
I have to say after playing the demo.that John did an excellent job of voice acting Barret. He sounds exactly how I imagined him sounding.
I've never played this game! So watching you two play was great! Makes me want to pick it up.
Doing the dialogue while playing the game as your character and as voice actors in games is making everything worth it, that's so cool!
Couldn't think of a more perfect game to playthrough. Lol, I would've love to see whoever voiced you character in the original though. What an interesting collab that would be.
The original does not have voice-acting, but Mena Suvari and Mandy Moore voiced her in Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts respectively. They are both pretty high-profile actresses so that would be an interesting stream for sure. :)
@@damienjohn Cool. Sorry, I don't play Final Fantasy. Lol
Oh that's okay, wasn't trying to shut you down or anything, just letting you know
Damien John Don’t forget Andrea Bowen for CC and onward.
The early FF (and all JRPGs back then) were all boxes of text in windows with no voice acting
Knowing that the voice of Barret in the remake loved the original as much as I did makes it feel almost personal. I'm even more excited to play the remake than when I was back in middle school saving up money to buy a PS1 to the play this Final Fantasy game I knew nothing about that everyone at school was talking about. FFVII has a dedicated part of my heart as the first RPG I completed and the game I used to try to get my oldest son more interested in reading. I even collected all the FFVII "potion" cans when I lived in Japan back around 2008 (my wife recycled them when we moved...I still haven't forgiven her for that).
It's a game that won a lot of peoples' hearts and for good reason! :)
My daughter's name is aeris, you know, from the mistranslated English version. My ex just altered it a little bit to aerishelle. But we still call her aeris. Ff7 for life.
What an absolute gamer.
Hats off
Awesome! Thats gonna be my daughters name too one day! :D
Seems pathetic for some other people naming your kids from vid games, but people named their kids from movies, books, and pop idols. My daughter’s almost 19 now and in fact liked her name too. People would ark her if she was named after that vid game character. My son’s name is Cid and other daughters is Liara.
Aerishelle is beautiful!
Gonna name my daughter Aerith Crescent got the Crescent from Lucrecia
Love watching the two of you play this. Yoo 2 were so great in the remake! Voice work was golden. You improved Aerith so much and the work on Barret was perfect. Barret is my spouse’s favorite. I just finished my 3rd play through and got the platinum. Absolutely love it.
I had gone off video games while I was in school in the late 90’s until a friend kept telling me about a game I had to try. He loaned me a copy of ff7 on PlayStation 1 . After playing it for a weekend I went and bought my own PlayStation and a copy of this. Never looked back. This and 14 are my favorite final fantasy games.
How cute!! This was his first RPG and he's getting to be the VA for Barret!
I want to make the spiderman pointing meme for this when they see the characters they play. Such a great video!
Aerith's voice actor is stunningly beautiful.
What's more is that she doesn't like being told what to do. Headstrong just like her too. XD
that's just putting it lightly!!!!
Apparently she takes HUGE dumps tho 😕
TypicallyUnique, ikr..i cant help staring at her rather than the game play
@@xLxKirax cringe
I love how John tries purposely to not sound like remake-Barret when he says Barret's lines 😄
OMG!! this going to be awesome..ty..ty..ty...LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!! Making me feel like a kid again...speaking of kids..ordering pizza for them...i'm not cooking tonight now....this is too much...sorry i'm just beside myself...im sooooooooooo hyped!!!!
Enjoy your pizza! XD
gotta throw John some love...we are about the same age...his commentary is spot on....watched this 3x already...its just fan candy
Oh wow, she's beautiful. It's rare to see a voice actor that matches the voice. Thanks for the video!
You both are legends 👏🎮, Barret voice actor so good 4 real haha, i trust Bri for Aerith too my girl you beautiful, this dream is getting better everyday ❤❤
Omg your the best voice actors barret aris you made my life so much better some of your parts made me cry ty so much
