Weren't Nero and Weiss mentioned or shown in FF7 Remake Intergrade? I think I remember seeing them and being extremely confused about who they were and where they came from. Thanks for another great review!
Yeah they were! Since I went right in to FFVIIR after VII for this series, I was totally confused also. It didn't make any sense to me either. Thanks for the kind words!
@@tmo42i Yeah, I didn't know anything about DoC during my FFVIIRI playthrough so I was in the same boat not knowing what the hell was happening. To be fair, I still don't know hahaha
DoC was the first game I played in the world of VII and I loved it, sure I played VII but always in bits and never finished it. It was after Advent Children my appreciation for VII started to grow. So everything VII I played was out of order. Sure hope for a remake, because I don’t have the original anymore and would like to replay it at some point
Post remake, Dirge's story may make more sense than pre-remake. A 3 minute cutscene with Reeve is dedicated to introducing the whispers from the perspective of a man who can't see them...and spoils remake's ending scene of the Shinra building surrounded by whispers. There's also times when you are told of past events... but then someone else tells you about the same events except they changed.. you can see Vincent pick up on the confusion better than your own confusion, but his hair moves slightly and any questions are just...gone. Kinda like if the wind just passed him by...inside a vehicle. Whispers are perceived as wind if they can't be heard or seen by the target of a whispers intervention.
Minor remake/rebirth spoikers here.. Post remake... some of the convolution makes sense. The mass disapoearances before Deepground escaped, the howling around the Shinra building... formation of the whispers and a task they perform in Remake. Mentions of various events, then being told about it as if something different happened in a way that doesnt make sense... (some are just revelations of secrets, buy ine mentioning thr platefall and death toll changes drastically and between OG where the deathtoll is massive accirding to the novel The Kids Are Alright, to minor according to Remake). Past got changed. Vincent notices these things but as his hair moves with slight wind, he forgets/never questions aloud. (Whispers do this to Cloud after Cloud sees himself in a tube in a deep ground lab under sector 7, he looks at a cat whose esr flicks as a very subtle split second breeze passed by, suddenly everything about it was forgotten). Post rebirth it ought to make more sense. Especially if you have seen FF The Spirits Within... Omega takes lifestream energy from a dying planet and forcefully puts it into another rock, rebirthing the planet. Jenova has its own lifestream; it rode something to get here, and it is trying to force itself into the planet. Basically every entry has Jenova doing something tied to propagating itself into the planet. The alien lifestream "alien gaia" of Spirits Within is unable to die, unable to live, etc., until either its lifestream is extinguished or it consumes the Earth's gaia/lifestream. In rebirth's ending, take note of the lifestreams in the sky. The other world, void of mako and substance, hollow and ethereal, is represented by a black lifestream when Cloud looks up at it. Likely not coincidence.
Yeah Intergrade can definitely help with patching up some of the information for sure. I haven't touched Rebirth yet as I plan on doing that somewhere down the line as I continue this series but look forward to more of those tie ins. Thanks for checking out the video!
I had a copy of this game that never loaded after the first boss battle. Tried at least a dozen times and I would always get a black screen on my PS2, that’s my only memory of this game 😂 Prob gonna show my age even more, but I remember this copy was from a friend and it released while I just finished summer school in order to graduate high school lol
Dang, yeah I had never heard of it till probably 6-7 years ago. Had a PS2 but never knew it was a thing. Don’t worry about age I am damn near over the hill myself. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Yeah that is kinda what I was hoping/thinking. It could use a fresh coat of paint and a good way to keep the momentum going. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah it is weird how Sony could just print money if they would put all these games on through ps+ or something. I wonder if it has something to do with its ability for emulation? Thanks for checking out the video!
Great Video!! Honestly i don't really enjoy DoC storywise. I've never been able to play it until now, but i was aware of it's story. Although i think that Crisis Core didn't have the greatest story of all time, i tend to like and dislike that story overtime. But DoC... it's truly awful. Althought i really like Vincent, i feel the way they aproach his relationship with Lucrecia is...akward and a bit dumb, and honestly, it makes Vincent a bit of a meek cuckold. Also i think they really missed the point of the stories after the OG FF7. Everything is SO EPIC when it really shouldn't be. I think that a grounded story, a bit like Metal Gear Solid, would fit Vincent really well, even though i think it's stupid that shinra has 2 thousand secrets organizations, i think that would work better than this Omega Weapon stuff.
Hahaha you got me at "meek cuckold" I didn't find it completely unplayable but definitely convoluted. Thanks for checking out the video and for the kind words!
I agree, honestly a proper remake could make it a big hit in the current gaming landscape, especially if it rides the coat tails of the FFR trilogy. Thanks for checking out the vid!
