Variety Gamer: Mostly RPG's. I am mostly known for my extensive coverage of the storyline of FFVII. I intend to branch out to other games and things that I like. Thanks for checking out the channel.
.........DAMMIT!!!!!! I'm gonna pin your comment bro. Apparently "Maiden who Travels the Planet", written by Benny MATSUYAMA contradicts canon established by Nojima and Nomura so was thrown into bad-fanfic hell. Honestly, I'm relieved because that Zack and Aerith interaction felt so mean and her accusations really make no sense since he became a one woman man after they started dating. Thank you!
Great video, That was a great recap[reminder of things I didn't remember since it has been so long since I finished the game(OG)] And a good info dump for things I didn't know, wasn't aware of the book.... I appreciate how much effort and time it must have taken you to put these videos together. That is some admirable dedication.
Appreciate the work, Gray. I'm in my 30s, played OG 7 on release, have beaten it multiple times over the past 20 years.. and I haven't got to the Midgar Zolom boss fight in Rebirth yet. I don't get much time to play games these days, but I CAN put these videos on while I work. They help me remember but also better understand nuances I might have missed through the years (not Dirge of Cerberus though, jesus christ, there's no subtlety at all). Makes me look forward to the next time I can play Rebirth.
another great video, MAN I hope Ever Crisis is able to cover Before Crisis before it gets shut down. the CC and FF7 parts of that game feel like such a waste of time, but I know those are to get people locked in with the more popular stuff
New Threat legit made me fall in love with OG FFVII again. The mods breathed new life into it so anyone who isn't a fan of what FFVII has become, I HIGHLY recommend the modding community
Yup! You played as a Deepground Soldier climbing the ranks within to eventually break the Restrictor's hold on you leading to the beginning of Dirge of Cerberus proper. It was only available in Japan
I love this series. Someone yell at me tell me I'm wrong, but I don't think Sephiroth is the big bad in the remake series at least. This time it is jenova pulling all of the strings, we've already seen the shape shifting
I will not say that you're wrong. I genuinely think it's a good theory. But Sephy is, I would argue, stronger than Jenova. I'll double check but I think its a established that Sephiroth's willpower is unmatched. So much so that when he died either the 1st time in Nibel Reactor or the 2nd time in the Northern Crater, as established in the novel "On the Way to A Smile," he managed to stop himself from being assimilated by the Lifestream by focusing on Cloud. I'll cover it in either Part 5 or 6 but his desire to either be better than or use Cloud kept his will strong enough to roam the Lifestream and cause mayhem from beyond the grave. Jenova's influence is Sephiroth's influence. This also does not help the Sephiroth/Cloud toxic yaoi fan-fiction from continuing to be made. Sorry for the long reply, my fingers became possessed and I like talking about this crap. Thank you for the comment!
Good job. Really good job on this whole series. It shows so much heart. I hope all the stuff you do in life can get half of the love you poured into all of this. Not only does it show heart, you are a good presenter and a fine editor, so it definitely shows your talent and hard work. So once again good job, bravo.
Ayo, man, been following the series and subscribed because of it. Part of the name of the series was "before Rebirth" so, ya know, stuff for us to catch up on or learn about the older games before jumping on the new one (specially for me cuz at a younger age I didn't speak English so I had no clue what went on) so this was highly appreciated. And THEN YOU SPOIL MY ASS THAT WE GET TO PLAY AS ZACK IN THE INTRO OF THE VIDEO WITH NO WARNING!!!! AGHDSVIDHDGVKSXKESJIDVIRCIEDHUDVUFCSTHXDYV Big sad :(
You’re absolutely right! I’m sorry bro, I should’ve put a time stamp and a warning on that. There is still a great amount to see and explore in the game though. Regardless of this mess-up, I know you won’t expect what happens later in Rebirth. And I’ll make sure of it!
Another fantastic video! I was so excited when I opened RU-vid on my lunch break earlier and saw it was out. As before I appreciate your concision and attention to detail!
The more I watch this series the more I see how similar certain aspects of FF7 story are to the Kingdom Hearts series. Considering both series share the same creator I guess it shouldn’t be surprising but It definitely gives me a greater understanding and appreciation for the FF7 characters roles in the KH series. At the same time it makes me more frustrated with the lack of Final Fantasy characters in KH3.
Agreed. I feel like with KH, a lot was left for interpretation and magic due to the way Disney operates so they could occupy a lot of stuff within it chronology. FFVII had a lot of key events (no pun intended) that were already in the original so the scope was narrowed but in a good way. I still love both series but for different reasons
