It's funny watching this now as an adult because my comprehension of the story at 12 years old was so off.
+tgo007 I know right? I couldn't understand a thing of what was going on way back.
+tgo007 Yeah I thought for sure the final battle with shirtless Sephiroth took place in Cloud's mind not in reality. Like purging himself of what Sephiroth used to control him. And apparently his confused sexual desires.
TBH that's totally badass and I think I prefer it to the official canon. Makes total sense, considering Cloud's ... ah ... delicate mental state. XD
same. i go so lost when u go into clouds mind. pretty much gave up on story after that
As a kid, I was aware of the Zack timeline, but never knew Vincent's backstory. He was just a badass vampire dude in my child mind.
This game always has been and always will be my favorite game ever. Ive beaten it 20 times and still get excited every time I hear that battle music!
Hey it's you!
same here, one of the best ever made.
+DreamcastGuy Those Who Fight Further(Boss theme) is my favorite
DreamcastGuy Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
I love it too. Few games even today hold a candle to it.
Easier to understand than Kingdom Hearts.
don't worry Nomura will take care of that
@@BRITxKN33 That's worrying.
@@porobotboyxxx VERY worrying, lol. But you're right. I had a "wtf just happened" moment after watching this video, but I didn't even know where to start with Kingdom Hearts.
you're definitely right
beech he had
Red 13, he's cool. Motorcycle chase.
*he rules
Didn't you watch the video?
I always rename him Nanaki,never liked that codename of his.
Luka gets it 👍
Oh wow how surprising. a black person who likes motorcycle races with police..
wayne andrews the old bee keeper Because it's hard to believe black women dig rebels dodging the righteous "authorities" the same way it's hard to believe Mr. Wayne Wonder gives a damn about Oshun's sweet honey at Wayne Enterprise. See what I did there? Lol What else you got Batman?
"sephiroth is alive and very shirtless"
Laura The Glitch bet u find him attractive
Shirtless sephiroth is best sephiroth
(Jk)
*drooool*
:)
Honest trailer guy voice: *"AAAAABS..."*
Cloud wasnt low rank SOLDIER. He wasnt SOLDIER at all. Just a Shinra grunt. Part of the infantry pretty much.
Correct! He didn't make the cut for SOLDIER and was forced into the Shinra Peacekeeping Troops.
Because SOLDIER needs a strong mind to handle the process of injecting Jenova Cells, so only the Strong can join SOLDIER.
@@sauce2go Which proved to be too true - huh... I didn't remember that being the reason why. Still, he's the best FF example of "fake it until you make it."
@@sauce2go In the end he is what they needed. He became a first class soldier in everything but title. Hell, even when he was just a lowly grunt he still managed to defeat Sephiroth
Dude there is so much wrong with this video, its like this youtuber has never played the original game lol
I remember watching the cut scenes in this game and saying to my 13 year old self...wow game graphics will never get better than this...
Lel
And then the remake came out
So relatable. LOL.
"They also meet a talking lion-wolf named Red XIII who wears feathers. He rules. MOTORCYCLE CHASE." I..... yeah. That's pretty much exactly right.
Thats pretty much it
"turns out the nibelheim incident, the mako poisoning and zack's death prove far too traumatic for cloud and broke his little brain"
LMAO
ptsd is a real thing xD
Damn the entire remake was just one minute of this video...
Yea true, roughly around 2:45 - 3:45 lol
Its funny cause in the remake you have only 6 walkthrough... in the FF7 OG you have 41 walkthrough
...
You're kidding, right?
@@HenriqueAugustoNunes Nope. They literally stretched out 3-4 huge events for remake lol. The game is so long because of new filler and side quests.
@@HenriqueAugustoNunes if they remade this game exactly, we would need 6 remakes lmao
Please keep the tifa scarlet slap scene and Don corneo in the remake
"Shut up, you #$(_%!" *SLAP*
Wish accomplished
You’ve got that don corneo wish
Both will be so much better in HD...
Yeap, your wish are fulfilled
My favorite game that confuses the hell out of me ..thanks for summing it up
So, here is where you were before all that RUclips cypher clout. It is like an origin story.
lmao @ Cloud being in SOLDIER. He was just an infantryman.
for me he's just a security guard same as lightning.
+Zach Ryan He was rejected by soldier.
+John Ant. Your comment needs more likes. How come some people think he made it in SOLDIER. Even he stated in FF7 after he got his memories back that he was never in SOLDIER. That's why he hid from Tifa when he was at Nibelheim with Zack and Seph because he was embarrassed for never making it in SOLDIER. Zack also mentioned it in ACC during his fight with Kadaj/Seph. People seem to mix it up but.. SOLDIER and Infantryman are not the same.. That's what makes Cloud so cool and the plot twist so interesting bc a mere grunt defeated the legendary 1st class SOLDIER Sephiroth.
+Zach Ryan Everyone here is right actually. Cloud was never in SOLDIER.
Cloud:
"I never was in SOLDIER."
"I made up the stories about what happened to me five years ago, about being in SOLDIER."
"I left my village looking for glory, but never made it in to SOLDIER......"
"I was so ashamed of being so weak; then I heard this story from my friend Zack..."
"And I greated an illusion of myself made up of what I had seen in my life.....";
"And I continued to play the charade as if it were true."
Exactly. But I didn't play Crisis Core so this video isn't just FFVII
Geez, Final Fantasy 7 seems to have become a franchise on it's own. Square is all like: YO DAWG I HERD YOU LIKE FRANCHISES, SO WE PUT A FRANCHISE IN YO FRANCHISE, SO YOU CAN PLAY A FINAL FANTASY FRANCHISE WHILE YOU PLAY A FINAL FANTASY FRANCHISE.
+Shadowff61337 lmao good one
+Shadowff61337
Yeah, Final Fantasy is so much more than just FF7...
+Shadowff61337 It does. The franchise is called Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. They've done the same with 13. Even 12 takes place within the Final Fantasy Tactics world, Ivalice
+Brian E. Young Actually, it's the Tactics Advanced and Tactics Advanced 2 world, the original FFT's world was VERY different.
Leeor Vardi
If I recall correctly, FFT takes place in the distant future from FF12. About 2000 years if I recall. FF12 is actually a distant prequel in which several of the Espers that the heros get are actually the same as the Lucavi (such as Hashamal). Ironic that it's the characters in FF12 unseal the Lucavi that were sealed by the Occuria. There was also mention about Ajora in FF12 if I recall correctly. And another fun fact is that in FFT, there was mention about the Moogle, which is extinct in FFT's time. I can only presume the other creatures became extinct as well or at the very least exiled since we don't see them.
OMG the soundtrack still gets me
best ever
It is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. One of the best ever.
@@carlose.jimenez-cordero1895 i dunno man... very close between ff7 and chrono trigger
If you love final fantasy 7 like I do then I know you already have the money put up for it's purchase upon release!!! 😎
I remembered the Weapons being the planet's last defense in saving itself, and they attacked the cities with direct access to the Mako/Lifestream... in this video it sounded like their purpose was vague.
Don't really get the purpose of this comment. He explicitly said: "a biomechanical monster team who are supposed to protect the planet during catastrophic events but instead they just start busting up towns". I've never even played a Final Fantasy game (outside of 14) before today and understood the Weapon's purpose. Basically just evil Godzillas.
@@6ixlxrd thats not what they are tho. The cities use the planets lifeforce as energy aka draining the planet, so defending the planet means attacking the cities. The weapons just serve their purpose but since theyre programmed and not really conscious beings they would also kill humans. Avalanche has a better plan so they discard them.
@@LucasFR11 The Weapon's literal purpose is to "protect the (nameless) Planet" as quoted directly from the game itself. And they are indeed simply biomechanical monsters.
な6IXLXRD what he’s saying is, they’re not evil and busting up towns is precisely what they need to do. Humanity are the ones responsible for the planets summoning of the weapons. So naturally the weapons will set out to destroy humanity, to save the planet from them. That doesn’t make them evil. In this scenario, it’s the people draining the life from the planet who are evil.
な6IXLXRD They are actually protecting the planet by busting towns. The towns consume planet’s life force. So busting up towns is actually saving the planet.
Wow all FFVII games lore in less than 7 mins. Impressive
IGN 10/10
Zach Ryan Turk's side story, though but hey who knows FF7 remake
+kenji harima It isn't all the lore. They missed out a massive chunk of Crisis core, didn't cover Before Crisis, Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. Not to mention all the other storylines for the other characters. They just covered the main plot in FF7 as briefly as possible.
SephirothSpirit but it's the general idea of what is important in FFVII. Cloud's past and Vincent's relationship with Sephiroth
+kenji harima 9/10... they never mentioned the underWATER parts ;)
jb0258 Now that you mention it...Lucreacia's location
its only a spoiler to people under 18
CONKERtheSQUIRRLE yeah but other 22 year olds have
I'm 16 and it doesn't spoil me
+Muhammad Jobe
I'm 26 and never played a Final Fantasy game in my life. This was a spoiler for me and now I wish I would've at least went back and played FF 7. I grew up with four older brothers so we played mostly multiplayer games (co-op or competitive). No one wanted to watch another person play games for hours on end lol
JesterJoker89 im gonna say the same thing what i did the other guy.Other 26 years have
+Muhammad Jobe It's also a spoiler to those who never got into rpgs when they were 14-15 at the time and all they were playng was street fighter and tekken with some action games.
FF7 remake is to what the original FF7 was to us. We were fortunate enough to be old enough to play that game in 97, why take that away for the younger crowd? The game may be 18 years old but the remake will have more or less the same story, which was basically a spoiler.
Who watch this after playing FF7 Remake?
me
Guiltyyyyy!
Me
now we have to wait 5 other years for a new game
@@lastigesoma6126 its more gonnavbe like 2 years. Battle system is alresdy done, lots of assets are already done like the characters, textures, sounds, etc... si theys said it wont be 5 years but more like 2
Still the best game of all time.
Steve Urkel probably gonna get hate for this but I enjoyed Final Fantasy 15 more.
Jaden J if ff7 is made like ff15 i dont think there will be an arguement :) or comparison in that matter
so, you don't play shadow of the colossus, FF6, Persona 3, MGS 3, right?
But need better graphics....
Jupp. FFVII is still the best game of all time. Persona 3 isn't even the best Persona.
This covers 2 games and a some of the movie. Not just FFVII.
Zach Ryan What's the 3rd game?
+Beats, Games, Life -ZimM804 a lot of the Vincent flashback stuff is from Dirge of Cerberus.
+Beats, Games, Life -ZimM804
The video is fine and i like it, i think it have the most important in the history
Its too much tell the WHOLE history, for that you must tell about...
1)Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII (game)
2)Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (game)/ Final Fantasy VII: Last Order (anime movie)
3)Final Fantasy VII (game)
4)On the Way to a Smile Episode Denzel: Final Fantasy VII (anime movie)
5)On the Way to a Smile (book)
6)The Maiden who Travels the Planet (book)
7)Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (movie) /Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (movie)
8)Dirge of Cerberus Lost Episode: Final Fantasy VII / Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (both game)
+Beats, Games, Life -ZimM804
Not really. All the story detailed in this video can be gleaned through flashbacks in the original. They were only fleshed out by the compilation, but they were already in the game.
+Beats, Games, Life -ZimM804 thats the whole complete story of ff7 bro
I refuse to use the IGN video player so here I am....
+Steve Mefford Same haha
+Steve Mefford True that, same here
+Steve Mefford welcome welcome
+Steve Mefford I refuse to rely on anything that comes from IGN. I just came to see how bad they'd mess this up. They can't pronounce half of the names and it's rather pathetic.
Yoofie??! haha
idk man i am pretty sure 8/9ths of the game is chocobo racing. half that stuff i think your bullshitting about i just remember chocobo racings and sephy dropped a moon on the earth mid fight
Truly the best video game story of all time. It's hard to believe a video game story has this much nuance.
You have got to be kidding me, what is so great about the story?
@@CpttCanada Themes, character, and message. The kind that dresses down people like you.
This... is actually a very succinct and accurate summary of the story and backstory of FFVII. Well done.

Lv 38 beats final boss...It's all a dream!
Woa woa woa, if I remember correctly she didn't MARRY Hojo, they just simply boned in the name of science according to her. You should mention too that Sephiroth fell into the lifestream but due to Jenova's cells couldn't be absorbed by it and he was able to create himself a new body after going dormant for awhile.
Both the wiki and what I remember from the games does state that Cloud and Zack were in fact BOTH failed Sephiroth "clones". Not actually clones but part of the same experiment. The wiki states that Cloud became a successful clone when he was drawn through Jenova's cells by Sephiroth to retrieve the Black Materia for him during the reunion. Successful clones were those who acted on the reunion instinct.
However, the memory thing was true... He blocked Zack out of all of his memories and instead put him in his place in those memories when in reality he was just a scrub in the background.
DingDongDanger They call them clones just because they were infused with Jenova cells. Just like Sephiroth. That's it. That's the only relevance the word "Clone" has regarding them. Just copied experiments.
I played this twice as a kid and now I'm just like "waaaah?"
Excellent work! You explained everything so well!
well mostly but to be fair its difficult to detail a final fantasy plot in such a short time
@@alphayun7401 *laughs in Kingdom Hearts*
@@6ixlxrd yes..
*e v e r y t h i n g*
This doesn't do FFVII justice or the respect this masterpiece deserves! But it's nice to have when you need a rundown, replaying an old game. :)
Cloud joined the infantry. not SOLDIER. He couldn't get into SOLDIER, because he was weak.
i was under the impression that shinra was able to be transformed into soldier, so technically not wrong
Still wrong. It's like if I said I joined Delta Force, but really I was only in the army.
+Homemade Soap how is cloud able to fight like a first class soilder though?
Uks notorious pereira two reasons. First, he was around Zack enough to see/pick up on Zack fighting style. Second, high level exposure to Mako/Hojo experimenting on him in the Shinra Manor.
Exactly. And while the experimenting Hojo added Jenova's Cells to Cloud. Cloud was just lucky that Zack saved him so he wouldn't die, turn into a monster (like the creatures in the Makoreactor in Nibelheim) or becomes a mindless crackhead (like the Numbers). Also Zack and Cloud were friends and Cloud admired Zack, so it's no wonder he catched up some style and tricks.
5:31 That looks...suspicious. "Oh cloud!" lol
omg...the music...the nostalgia. back when life was amazing.
"They also meet a talking lion-wolf named Red XIII...he rules." Couldn't have said it better myself tbh
So many memories of this game, was 7 years old when it came out back in 97. Still my favourite game of all time. Can't believe it's been 20 years, bring on the remake :)
This guy deserves a Nobel Prize for explaining this complicated story
My Dream Game: Twisted Metal Online with Cloud on the Motorcycle, and The Group on the Buggy.
That was great! Thank you. looked like a lot of work.
+striderpsv I personally had to play through the game twice to get all of it. The stuff about about jenova shapeshifting and clones being controlled was confusing.
+Zach Ryan The real MVP's 🙌
+supervegeta101 Yeah I never knew Jenova shapeshifted into Sepheroth and kills the people at Shinra
+Kyizen She did what? I've replayed this games dozens of times and didn't know that 0_0. Haven't seen this video entirely so I didn't know that
cangri1788
Yeah, it's mentioned I believe early disc 2 when Cloud hands over the black materia. Then the Gast videos (along with one or two other moments) in the Inn reveal she's a shapeshifter. You kind of had to put it all together after you realize what's going on with Cloud and the clones
For another time because there's so much that happened after that:
1. On The Way To A Smile,
2. Advent Children, and
3. Dirge of Cerberus.
didn't Cloud throw Sephiroth into the core while Zack was bleeding out?
yeah but the newer games try to retcon that
Yes. Then both were experimented on and cloud suffered from mako poisoning. They broke out and fled to midgar. Zack took care of cloud while he was messed up from the mako poisoning and he was shot dead by troops outside of midgar. Cloud was still basically catatonic so the soldiers left him to die. The game picked up a while after that.
Yeah from my understanding, Zack tried to fight Sephiroth, got beat up, Cloud tried to fight Sephiroth and got stabbed, and then Cloud threw Sephiroth into the life stream.
every single scene has to be in the remake every little detail. the humor relief helps the overall depressing world and beautiful story. also the fire dog is named Nanaki by the way lol not red 13 that's the name shinra dog collar has lol
I always wondered why Red XIII never showed up in KH2 in the pride lands.
aquapyro1 Dude what! That wouldve been so appropriate
4:30 Praise the sun... and holy
Then surprise invader and backstab.
This is so many different kinds of awesome! Well done
great video. damn that song at 5:52 ... the memories
This is pretty good actually! Considering its in 7 minutes.
+Zach Ryan the only small thing is that when mentioning the weapons, destroying the towns and cities pretty much WAS defending the planet, because as we all know, humans are the biggest danger to nature... That's probably arguable though.
+Keagan Wall They only scratch the surface. LOL!!! The game is way longer.
Holy crap thanks for doing this. A summary of all !
This was so well-done. Please do more!!!
Excellently done! Filled some gaps in for me that I never totally wrapped my head around
"Everyone lives happily ever after... until they don't" :D Ah IGN, this has gotta be the best summary of FFVII ever!
what is the they dont part. what happened?
*_“How Many People In This World Do Ya Think Really Understand Themselves?” - Barret Wallace_*
Wallace wisdom
The ending credits with the Chocobo racing music was the best part of this.
Interesting stuff! Never knew Vincent's background, and that was pretty on-point for 7 minutes.
4:55 "...broke his little brain" lmfao
"Unfortunately, this happens."
*Relives trauma
get ready to relive it again in HD when it comes out for ps4 =/
Watched this like 3 times. Really well done! Thanks for an awesome vid. Can/would you do one for Final Fantasy 8 :D ??
awesome!
very through
can't wait for part 2!
This was an epic and pretty accurate telling of the tale. I enjoyed it, and look forward to the remake.
I just beat this game before remake. thnx for clearing up parts of the story I was still confused about. Now I'm officially ready for the remake! 🙌
what did you think of the remake?
Will always be the crown jewel of the series. People can bring their VIs and their Xs and their IVs and whatever, but this is Square's Magnum Opus, the greatest of the great and unbeaten in atmosphere, storytelling and design.
really good video man. funny, informative. you nailed it.
Final Fantasy 7 in 7 minutes 7 years later 😮
Just popped up for me also lol.
Final Fantasy 7 is so amazing. No game will ever be able to take the top spot from it. Heck, even Square Enix admitted it was the greatest game they ever created. Much love to this classic masterpiece.
Excellent job guys. This ties everything together perfectly
amazing dude, tks for video. i am 33 y old and still love this game
Sad that Zack, one of the greatest heroes of all time dies and gives Cloud the buster sword. If you played Crisis Core, at the end, Cloud says thank you to Zack and that he won't forget, but he totally forgets!
Well...he did not forget, he just didn't remember. Slight difference ;) To truly forget something means it can not be recalled ever, not remembering means it can be recalled, which happened :)
He gave him his sword, identity and his girl.
@@daniellim5982 holyshit dude, his girl, LoL. cloud is really a legacy of zack
My child mind put 90 hours into this game and I just barely remember these plot points
The choco music in the end :D
That was an epic explanation that filled in a few holes in my memory. Thank you :)
Also: "Motorcycle chase."
lol, awesome.
Who's here after the finished the FF 72020 remake?
@4:30 Right through Aries' stomach and my heart.
Very good explanation! That filled in a couple things I missed.
This is awesome. As a kid, I loved the game, but I'll be damned if I knew all the story or followed it. When I started hearing all the worshiping of the story, I finally realized how amazing it was. Wish I would have realized how good of a story this was as a kid.
The “Sephirot” cloud meet the first half of the game wasn’t seph. It was Jenova, sephirot first shown in 5:22.
So it wasnt seph wo killed aeris it was jenova
Great Work. As Complex As The Entire FFVII Story Is, You Did A Good Job Tying It All Together.
Very cool vid! You should do one for Final Fantasy IV!
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL THIS IN PS4 GRAPHICS !
And you want ALLLLLLL of this to be included in the REMAKE? Yea, I can see why SE is breaking it down in to multiple parts. This was a cram-jam of story spread across almost 6 to 7 games that spun off FF7 itself.
+Thomas Patterson It also skipped some stuff. All of the Turk stuff, Rufus, Cait Sith being Reeves got two lines, Cid's entire depressing story, Barrets entire depressing story, Red XIII's entire depressing story, Aeris knowing Zac and generally being confused by Cloud, etc.
+Hark And don't forget the story when the women from shinra slap Tifa in th face lol
+Revolver ocelot Yeah you need a whole episodic just to show one hand^_^
William Baker Cause's its Square-enix and they capitalize on any profit that can net them the most money. Just think about it, a few years ago the stocks were in the slump. Now ever since the release of the FF 7 remake along with the FF14 retool its been doing much better.
The first part of this video belongs to the Crisis Core psp game which is not being remade.
man, brings back memories...this summary cracks me up tho hahah i can't wait for the remake!!
Nice recap ! Good work bro
Wow, I thought this story was going to be nothing but Sci-fi... But it's more than that. Great story.
Cannot wait for the remake
It's amazing. I laughed a lot while watching the video and also enjoyed it. Great job.
Very very good video. Despite the fact I'm a hard core fan of the story, I learned some new stuff. You have my thanks
you know the hype is real when video's like this get uploaded
This is the first RPG Iever played and I was around 14 then. I kid you not when I say I cried when Sepiroth killed Aeris. :D
1 second: WTF! Noooo! Cloud has a crash on her
2-4 seconds being sad
5th Flipping egg, all that levelling!
😂😂😂😂
Interesting that cloud was "in soldier" but never made first. He actually never made soldier at all.
Awesome vid!! Always knew about the FF7 hype but never played it, now I understand the story! (sort of)
really need yo do one for ffxiii as many people just can't seem to get it.
+phantompacker99 They did do one awhile back
+phantompacker99 13 had an incredible story it was just the gameplay that didnt stood up like the others but the story was so good
+phantompacker99 there is a retro version summary of ffxiii and ffxiii-2. pretty neat.
+Charles Tabing I know that one. it really is good and probably took a long time to finish it
+phantompacker99 It's true.
I'm really looking forward to the Remake. But that happens and i won't be able to handle it in 4k. Aerith just feels so real and she's best girl by a mile :(
My default ringtone is the Jenova battle music. Sometimes I don't answer the phone just so I can hear the whole thing.
Thank you, this was a lovely trip down memory lane.
This summary was spot on.
during their escape cloud senses that sephiroth is still alive. and very shirtless
Uma das melhores histórias de um videojogo. Prestes a ter um remake.
I really liked this game summary of my favorite game. Thanks for making this!
This was...actually pretty good.
I didn't expect actually good information from IGN.
What is this?!
No not another time NOW! What happens next!??!
+Iadad Watch Advent Children
+DaRkLoRd1061 What about zack?
+Gianni Brawner Zacks dead
+Iadad Heheh yeah, this all covers the original game, not the extra games that came years after, after the popularity has already escalated.
+DaRkLoRd1061 thats pretty good man
You really crammed a fast paced flow into a precise 7 minutes for a VII summary haha.
Very nice.
The best part is the chocobo racing music at the end 😀
