Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth with a Side of Salt 

real talk i ADORE how this game looks the animation is beautiful and square enix’s realistic anime style will always make me cry it’s so pretty

This is your daily reminder that HOJO is also the FUCKING CABBAGE MERCHANT!

"If it talks it's a person, if it doesn't talk it's a dog" - Wes ..wait that would make Red XIII a person not a dog

The fact I understand the opening line reference makes me feel old and I hate you for that

When my husband and I finished the game, I told him, "Wouldn't it suck if we have to play part 3 on the PS6?" My poor husband has hope that that won't happen, lol.

Feline body that’s like a cross between a cheetah and a lion) with canine mannerisms, he howls and growls.

I think the in-game comments about Red XIII being a dog stems from how people don't usually have dog-sized cats following them around outside. Y'know, willingly

Red XIII standing on his hind legs and wearing clothes is cursed.

Years, Scott. It took YEARS, well over a DECADE to get that song out of my head. And now I can't stop hearing it in repeat again. You fiend.

Fuckin thank you! RedXIII is a feline not a friggin dog!

When you opened with lyrics from Legendary Frog's final fantasy song, that made me feel so good. I'm not the only one who remembers.

Red XIII IS a canine. He is a primal species of canine ancestor, like the ancestor of the wolves who had to compete with ancient sabertoothed cats

Quick correction: Synergy skills do not feed into the stronger synergy abilities. Spending ATB is what allows the use of synergy abilities.

I WILL say i totally fell in love with Cait Sith this time around. Rebirth gave everyone so much more opportunity to be fleshed out in a way the OG couldn't/didn't. He was abit of a ass in OG (atleast that's how i took it) but in Rebirth he's just... *chefs kiss*

Wow, that opening bit was a reference I never thought I'd hear again.

He's a wolf-lion. A lion-wolf. A woon.

Holy shit he reminded me of both the ancient ass flash animation and that scene from Futurama where the Star Trek dude just reads our the lyrics to Real Slim Shady. And he dares acuse remake of making you face your mortality.

Was not expecting a Legendary Frog reference to start us off!

Yup. You're from Newgrounds, all right. I'd know that song anywhere.

I love how the thumbnails include the salt shaker in some way, no matter how subtle it is.

Red XIII is ambiguously friend shaped

It's not a reimagining, it's a continuation. This Sephiroth, is from the future. The who said I will never be a memory. So he knows what is going to happen and is actively fighting against it. Aerith is his main opponent, Cloud is more of pawn for Sephiroth who needs him to remember for him to continue existing.

0:06 if that's the case you'll definitely love the yakuza series

11:16 this was exactly my problem with the climbing. Not the yellow paint, but the goddamn use of these ledges, that just feel like they are there because a lather wouldn't have made sense. Just make it a diffrent looking wall or idw moss that you can freely climb up on. OoT allowed you to do that, it shouldn't be a problem on the PS5.

I figured out the reason why the beginning of the game had alot of waiting/squeeze through moments after redownloading the game. Its not fully installed yet and is actively downloading data in the background. I tried to return to a far off chapter after booting back up and was met with a progress bar

_[hears intro]_ I understood that reference.

I just finished this game last night. I cried so much with the trials and ending. I haven’t invested so many hours on a video game in forever. This is in my top 5 favorite games for sure.

"Yuffie is annoying" Chadley: Am I a construct to you?

glad we all hate the moogle quests.

honestly shocked you didn't mention anything about the ending...It's...ummmmmmmm...definitely something

Interesting is how you call food disgusting without upsetting the cook.

Project Moon sleeper agents, assemble.

I played the original when I came out, I'll be nearly 50 by the time the remake finishes. Christ that makes me feel old

this video literally summed up everything i feel so so WELL!!!

Another sobering thought: The Final Part will probably come out on the PS6

Red howls in a side quest. Hence Red is a dog.

Love the Legendary Frog reference at the begining of the video! ...Now I gotta watch that again.

Man, this makes me want to see a side of salt of Valkyria chronicles.

The heart and soul of this game is in the characters. For the most part they all have so much personality.

Honestly in a well-explored world like FF VII, yellow paint on handholds feels like it can make sense if a hiking guide or someone came through in the past to mark viable paths for future climbers.

Was the flying Cloud footage from Vinny's stream?

Speaking about sales not meeting expectations, it's ridiculous that sony considers the ps5 "in the later half of it's lifespan" due to poor sales, forgetting that their was a chip shortage due to both covid shutting down most factories responsible for making them, and crypto morons buying up what was left, resulting in a limit of how many ps5s were even available to be bought which got screwed even further by scalpers buying up the limited supply of ps5s, reducing the sales for ps5 games cause no one wanted to pay triple the price of the console to play a game from a console in its infancy.

Seph didn't get as much build up bc at this point, if you're playing ff rebirth and don't know who, why, or what Seph is, then you deserve confusion. The whole game is a 4th wall break.

Yo new ScottFalco videooooo

Sword fighter cc is adorable. Always love the fanart at the end of the videos!

Yuffie was one of my fav in the OG just for the way she just enters the party because why not lol And in Intermission and Rebirth she became my fav character she’s just so goofy I love her

Legendary Frog reference right out of the gate? Hot damn. Talk about a blast from the past.

Final Fantasy 7 remake is the first RPG and Final Fantasy game I completed.

Nondescript mammal aside, a big red lion-thing that can talk and has a dangerous tail? We call those manticores.

That reference to that old Newgrounds animation at the beginning made me turn into a pile of dust from how old it made me feel.

within the first few seconds "I GET THAT REFERANCE"

I can't wait for Part 3 of Rebuild of Final Fantasy 7

IMAGINE DROPPING A ROBO CHOCOBO LEGENDARY FROG REFERENCE Holy crap that's a blast from the past.

Red is obviously a talking dog best friend.

By the time the remake is complete, they can start to work on the re-remake of the remake.

Thank you for the video.

Wow that ending line was too real.

I always love Final Fantasy rebirth legit too good

Can’t wait for the Lob Corp stream

Guh, Ha! Ugk! That definitely sums every confrontation between cloud and sephy doesn't it?

I’m waiting for PC but goddamn this game looks so good. The MUSIC in this game sounds even more *godly* from Remake

A Legendary Frog reference? Right off the bat? In 2024?

Hell yeah

YOU REFERENCED THE LEGENDARY FROG SONG. I WAS STARTING TO THINK I'D HALLUCINATED THAT.

I think the yellow paint is in areas commonly traveled in by other people, so some npc might have painted those to mark routes for other climbers

Bro made a reference to old ass Newgrounds flash animation at the start 😂 Damn I'm old.

this square enix saw how attack on titan was released and thought they were cookiing

Your intro takes me WAY back

I like how the remake trilogy exposes you to Shinra's history. ReMake had you see the image Shinra wants the public to see, while also seeing their current projects. Then in Rebirth, you see how Shinra rose to prominence through wars with Wutai and Junon (even Rhadore from EverCrisis) the establishment of their first reactors. I'm betting part 3 will have the player learn about Shinra in it's earliest days. How President Shinra raised his small, family-owned business into a major corporation and nation within his lifetime. It could also be an opportunity to explain the origins of President Shinra's obsession with the Promised Land. At this point, there have been multiple scenes that established characters (like Reeve) found it odd PS, despite being smart and prudent, was so reckless around finding the Promised Land despite having no clear method of finding it or even proof of its existence.

The end to the video recap is absolutely true. I have no desire to get a PS5 and have not played the remake at all because my friends have already beaten and spoiled the heck out of it.

Yeah, speaking of exclusivity being a bad idea, I still haven't gotten around to playing Part 1. The ultra-long wait before it got to Steam killed its momentum for me, and at this point I may just wait until the trilogy is completed before bothering with it. Hell, for that matter, I'm not even that enthused about FF16. Meanwhile, you've got Sega increasingly embracing global cross-platform same-day releases, and seeing big success off of it - like LAD Infinite Wealth being the fastest-selling Like A Dragon game by a wide margin. They even seem seem to be leaning on Atlus to dial back all the console exclusives. Maybe Squeenix could learn something from them.

I also thought it was a dog at first, I guess it's because you don't expect feline to behave like that

I'm Really glad i wasn't the only one who held that opinion for Yuffie. And also Hardcore agree about Barrett and Dyne. That scene hits so differently in HD 3D..

lol, Legendary Frog reference.

2028? Why are we repeating the KH 3 thing? D;

Can’t wait for this game on PC

Oh shit, a Legendary Frog reference

poor Zack, let's bring him back and tell him Aerith "LIKES" Cloud 😲😲😲

I’m glad someone made a video mirroring a lot of my thoughts on the game. I feel like recently all I’ve been seeing online is hate for it

Goddamnit I'll be almost 40 when the 3rd part releases.

7:11 I'm pretty sure chadly had a crush on cloud when he crossdressed

The upgrade engine reminds me of Sphira Sphere from FF10

According to a old article Red is more cat like. Orginaly it was supposed to be a dog but it became more cat like. They have fixed it in the Remake to make it more the way they wanted too I just hope they can stick the landing in part 3. The development team says everyone will get a happy ending. I hope that includes Sephiroth. I always felt like Hojo and Jenova where the true villains. I love the beach scene its a huge WTF moment for me 😂

Tifa in the thumbnail with her unholy thoughts.

There are crafting exclusive items, but to get then you need to explore the regions. So it's worthit.

Clouds fanfiction of him and his BFF sephiroth🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still here for Salt Dance!!!

Final Fantasy 7 Brotherhood. Gotcha 😁

Honestly, I think people calling Red XIII a dog comes down to people calling everything a dog that is an animal and acts in a benevolent way. The letter part is optional. Dog? Dog Cat? Dog Turtoise? Dog Donkey? Dog Dragon? Dog Lion? Dog Sea serpent? Uh... Ifrit? Dog

5:13 Well yeah. You don't get the PHS until you leave Midgar in the original, so the party thing makes sense.

Red XIII is the Entei/Raikou/Suicune of FF7.

I got the 1st Remake whilst I didn't have a PS5 yet, and for soME REASON THE DLC DIDN'T EVEN DROP ON THAT! I'm not going to repurchase the literal exact same game just for some Yuffie DLC even though I would've on the PS4

Sephiroth. My beloved

Old huh. I will either be 26 or 27 when the final part comes out

11:20 You don't need to hold R2 to do this, just the Left stick

God the dyne scene messed me up dude was mentally broken he had a hell of a last stand though.

So this games story is literally the unused concept of RARE's Banjo Kazooie remake for Xbox/360. The idea being that it would start out as a 1:1 remake then get further wallbreaky and inception like the deeper you go with more and more changes to levels and enemies until SURPRISE! Gruntilda/RARE devs revealed its all different!

So is Remake the first game for the FF7 remake and the Rebirth the continuation as a separate sequel or are they the same? I want to try it but don’t know where to start

3:14 was glorious

I always called Red a dog because it was funny and also that we already had a cat partner. Doesn't make it make any more sense but it's funny
