@@DreamMorpheus42 not a bad fan-fic way? they made the gi aliens that created the black materia, it's one of the worst changes along with that absolute fucking dogshit final boss and ending
@sorasnobodiexiii Jenova is an alien. There's already aliens in the story. I think it's actually a huge flaw in the original that they never explain why the Cetra even made a black materia. It never made any damn sense.
@@sorasnobodiexiii the Gi were literally nothing before, now we have sound story reasons why they are ghosts on this planet, what are you complaining about
@@xPooogle515 I'm almost convinced that some people are just trying to make up reasons to dislike Rebirth. At least 90% of the stuff in Rebirth is faithful or improved from the original
nah this shit lit but it’s when he activates Doom that gets me goin. the countdown starting n that panic and adrenaline that you get cus he’s almost dead n you can’t lose after how hard you tried
Now I want two Final Fantasy games: one with Ancient Japanese traditional aesthetics (well, the one from April Fools trailer) and one with Ancient Egyptian aesthetics (which doesn't cancel super technologies and katanas)!
So were the Gi Alien to the planet? I really wish they dug deeper into the origins of the Gi, cause honestly I feel for their suffering. Gi Nattak seemed a sensible guy. Like there's just so many questions
My guesses are either: they're aliens, or they're an ancient race that predates the lifestream itself. If the only thing the black materia can do is summon Meteor, then obviously they shouldn't have it lol, but if it can do other less destructive stuff then I don't see why not. We'll see what Cloud does with it in the next game.

@sanfordday There's a sidequest which explores the Gi further and it seems they are very much aliens that came from somewhere else they don't even remember. And now they are trapped on a planet that is not their home and doesn't accept them so they just want to go into nothingness by summoning meteor.
they were aliens that came from another planet (that's now gone) into Gaia (earth,) but the moment they die on earth, the planet doesn't let them visit the lifestream (because they are aliens) and the cetra (aeris/aerith's race and ancestors) didn't really welcome them into the lifestream. So, they combine all their grudge and hate into one single materia to destroy the gaea (including the lifestream), so they can finally rest peacefully tldr: dead people in foreign land stuck in limbo so they try to destroy the gate itself for them to pass on
@@sanfordday it's implied by Gi Nattak that they originated from another dimension/universe - similar to Gilgamesh perhaps - and that's why their souls are rejected by the lifestream after death but still bound to the planet. So Meteor is only a salvation for the Gi in the sense that it would destroy the planet and I don't think there are other uses for the black materia.
Correct me if im wrong but it seems to me that the gi were the original ihabitant of the ff7 world before the cetra arrived on their planet and created the lifestream system that is why they cannot return to the planet when they die and im guessing they created the black materia to erase everything that exists so their soul may finally be at peace if you look at things from their perspective the cetra might not be as innocent as the lore made them to be
Per the game, the Gi's homeworld belonged to a different star; the Planet's star subsumed the Gi's star, which doomed their homeworld. The survivors sought refuge on the Planet, but the Lifestream rejected their spirits.
This song is great and all, but god damn do I not envy your play style if you have only learned stardust ray on Red by well over halfway through the game
Yes, it builds pressure on his stagger meter this time instead of killing him, which would be too easy and wouldn’t really work in this game if it still one shot him. But still cool that they kept some aspect of that mechanic from the OG regardless
Man if one didn't know the context, you would think this is a theme of a Gerudo boss in Zelda BOTW/TOTK! When I reached this boss i was kind of hit off guard with the change in instrumentation in contrast to the rest of the game, Such a fantastic composition!
I’m now revisiting OG ff7 with ff7 rebirth and remake boss Themes….it’s epic and just hypes me up for what’s to come. Stay alive and healthy folks. 3 years until part 3
I love how both "Cosmo Canyon" and "Those Who Fight Further/Fight On!" themes are incorporated into this original theme. Hell, in phase 2, you can even hear "Let the Battles Begin!" So sick and yet kinda sublte! It still remains its own theme. Same with Demon Gate having both Lifestream & Forgotten Capital themes!
They buffed Gi lore and ost SO DAMN GOOD 🔥 Absolute goty.

The chanting hypes me up so much. I actually restarted this boss fight before the final hit just to listen to the theme some more.
3:05 hyped the FUCK OUTTA ME. The game said LOCK IN GANG
This game’s a different breed man
@@mimbaoJHit’s not only built different, it’s built DISTINCT.

4:28 I love how they integrated the Cosmo Canyon theme into this. It sounds so triumphant and strong, HELL YEA
Them going this hard for the Gi is CRAZY. But I guess they wanted to really hype them up for this game.
*The Black Materia*
My favorite change
I love how they incorporated Egyptian vibes to the theme
god damn the african tribal chanting was top notch
Sounds more aboriginal, but regardless it does hit
3:05 went so hard, i wish Africa was real 😔
Wait... Are we living in the timeline where Africa isn't real?
They say that every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa
@@josephr.2763I wish
The hit us with the Sharkbait Hoo Ha Ha in this one
BRO!😭😭😭
This definitely sounds like Shotaro Shima. Never knew he could pull out something like this
The aggressive devil diggerdoo song
THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING SICK!!
This boss on hard mode is hell.
always keep 1 ATB bar filled and finish Mothafukka with level 3 Limit Breaks
It’s probably the boss I died to the most on hard mode
@@nicholasstacey6146 for me this and jenova were the hardest
@@ibrahimq981 Jenova for me as well, finishing any of her 136 phases with low HP really handicaps you for the rest of the fight.

Yo when the Cosmo Canyon theme kicks in that shiz goes so hard.

When i casted Resurrect on him and didnt killed him like in the OG....i was "well...F***"
Having healing magic at least help pressure them was nice. Close enough lol
The music for gi is peak. Especially the 2nd phase. Imagine the energy on the studio. What language was spoken in this track???
I wonder too! The only thing I can hear out of the lyrics is "dadadada GI NATTAK"
0:07 “Hi didgeridoo player!”
Me when I summon the Torch God
THIS IS SO GOOD

The Cetra didnt create the Lifestream. We dont know its origins, but the Lifestream is the soul of the planet itself.

Or if you're on Barret and Gi Nattak decides to use drain while you're mid action. Say goodbye to 50-70% of your health.
Just curious, did anyone else try to one shot Gi Nattak with an X-potion like you could in the original game?
Yes, it builds pressure on his stagger meter this time instead of killing him, which would be too easy and wouldn’t really work in this game if it still one shot him. But still cool that they kept some aspect of that mechanic from the OG regardless
4:36-5:00 is so underrated. The way it flourishes into a heroic theme is SO GOOD

TOTK Rebirth
Am gonna play some zelda now
@@scargamer0022 Hell yeah
Cool bit of musical storytelling to convey how "not of this world" the Gi are
Don't make it sound more complicated than it is. It's a boss theme in a harmonic minor key to make it sound "middle eastern" xD Every game does it
