MAX REACTS: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gameplay 

Geoff: "This studio redefined RPGs with a rich story and characters." Max: "That could be anything." Geoff:"About a mercenary and his friends' attempt to save the planet." Max: "Plenty of games that fit that description." Geoff:"He has a *GIANT* sword." Max: "Yeah swords are popular in RPGs." Geoff: "His name is Cloud." Max: "Many ways to spell Cloud."

Max’s joy is infectious I can’t help but feel happy when he’s this giddy

When Max becomes a kid again, *everyone* becomes a kid with him. We need TWO discs for this masterpiece. God this trailer was everything. 🔥🔥

Amazing video that had me smiling and riding the high right along with you Max. You're a legend

I subscribed to this channel just because of the sheer joy that FFVII gives to Max. I know the feeling all too well so it's entertaining for me to see someone share the same kind of passion,

I’m a simple man. FF7 content comes out, I go right to Max’s channel for a second boost of hype-drenaline.

Max is SO passionate about this game. This review trailer needs to go viral, just so the world can see what True joy looks like. It's so infectious I found myself smiling without even knowing.

Yuffie's reaction to Sephiroth appearing in that violet hue implies that Sephiroth's new powers are related to Stagnant Mako. That is why Yuffie freaked out so much. Yuffie recognized the violet energy as the same Stagnant spirit energy that Nero used. So it looks like Sephiroth has learned how to ustilize the Stagnant Lifestream, which is made of sould that have refused to become part of the normal flow of the Lifestream.

My favorite thing is that Max has built his entire career around the FGC and fighting games, built one of the best fighting game channels on youtube and twitch, the best Street Fighter possibly *ever* just came out, and the happiest I've ever seen Max is when watching a trailer for an RPG. His infectious hype got me to bite on FF7R and I didn't regret a second of it.

That pure, innocent joy from Max freaking out over any new FF7 news is always infectious. He's probably the best salesperson Square-Enix could ever have hoped for with these remakes. 😂

3:17 That new arrange mix for the 'Valkyrie' theme went into my eardrums and straight to my soul. So good!

You know my favorite part of the trailer? Aerith with her hands behind her back shuffling/kicking her feet in the river. It's just an adorable cute little background scene that adds nothing but I love it.

Max's appreciation and just honest cheerfulness during this whole part was amazing to watch. Really puts a smile on one's face.

I wonder if Sephiroth was talking about Tifa like the trailer shows, or if he was talking about Aerith? I love that the fact that this whole new Remake series being a sequel is something that Sephiroth, Aerith, and Cloud may finally start talking about normally. Also Max was spot on about which character would know what's going on lol. Edit: I see now, Sephiroth was taking about Tifa based on the Japanese trailer. Thanks for informing me guys! Hopefully this clears up any confusion for others too.

I laughed so hard at Max screaming "BUGENHAGEN" bc that was exactly my reaction too the first time I saw the trailer xD Max getting all giddy over FFVII is my happy place:3

Hello! I am Japanese. I'm glad you enjoyed Final Fantasy VII and commented! My heart loves you who never forgets the heart of a boy! Please enjoy Final Fantasy VII! I'm rooting for you!

Max ending up nearly in tears had me nearly in tears, love how much passion he has for FF7

Max’s hype and love for FF7 is so damn infectious that it actually made me play the original before Remake came out and I became such a big fan! I’m obsessed with FF7 OG and Remake, they’re both some of my favorite games of all time thanks to Max. I even went and played/beat FF9 because my interest in Final Fantasy kept growing. My hype is growing everyday since I finished Remake.

Fun fact. That reaction is what the development team was looking for from max. Infact they got better than they thought. They wanted to top his old reaction😂😂😂

In the combat cut outside Junon where they are showing off RED XIII's combat, the party consists of Cloud, Barret, and Red. If you pause, you can see Tifa sitting outside the battle about 20 yards, so I'm expecting party swaps now too, while in mid battle like FF10.

My favorite part is when he just stated that the whole party is dead. That made me laugh. "Barret is dead!" "Tifa is dead!" "They killed the dog!" Lmao. Everything about this, the stream and the trailer is what I live for. What a time to be alive!

I've never even played any of these games but the passion Max has is so pure, thank you for sharing that with us.

As someone who is still super new to Final Fantasy (playing 9 rn and its so charming), this is really cool to see just how much love care and passion that is clearly going into this. Im definitely going to play the og FF7 first but its going to be cool to see where the journey takes these characters.

Max's face says it all. I wouldn't be surprised if Nomura has put up a "do it for him" board filled with Max's different expresions whenever something about the new FFVII comes up

I'm glad they realized The Valkyrie theme is so great it deserves to be trailer music.

FFVII means so much to me as somebody who played it at launch when it came out in 1997 as a 16 year old. Clearly means just as much and more to those making the remake too.. an amazing treat

I get such a stupid grin on my face when I see people so excited for something ❤🎉

I literally just went on your Twitch channel to search for this reaction because I ran out of patience waiting for you to upload it. So basically, my patience ran out after about 15 minutes. You're the best, Max.

Watching Max react to the FF7 trailers is like watching a child open presents on Christmas...pure joy and wonderment! Its the only reaction videos i enjoy n feel theyre 110% legit.

I honestly don't think the party is dead in Zack's timeline - perhaps critically injured, and ShinRa is collecting them to do nefarious testing because you KNOW Hojo has a vested interest in them after they all survived his trials in Remake.

Max’s FF7 reactions are always so wholesome also i can’t wait for another hr plus video where he basically calls everything that’s gonna happen 😂

So lucky to live in a timeline that I got to experience OG FF7 when it came out and Remake now. I’m so ridiculously hyped.

Theory: the Cloud we see at 4:02 is from the Zack timeline, we know because of events he should still be "sick" there which would let Jenova control him much easier, would not be shocked if they go this route

At 14:00 I felt this so much. Max your reactions to anything FF7 are amazing and genuinely real!

Loved this reaction, so much joy. It's crazy to think about since it's been such a long journey just to get to the first game and now the 2nd one is coming out soon. Very cool.

He’s not vibrating in the thumbnail. He’s still, he’s calm. All has been revealed, his faith rewarded.

Seeing him hyped and on the verge of tears watching this is such a beautiful thing because it's a shared experience we all have had and understand 🤜🤛 rock on Max!🤟

every trailer reveal, i always look up on Max’s reaction because it makes me more hype and excited

Thank you Max, for another video to add to my "watch when you're sad" list

I cant wait to see Barret and Vincent's team combo just shooting the shit outta something lol

Combo limit breaks with other characters is the coolest thing ever.

Watching Max get excited over FFVII is one of life's greatest little joys. And I am so honored that he shares it with us.

In the trailer for the 25th anniversary Tifa said "are You saying that I died, that I'm an impostor". They're hinting at It in both trailers. Also, could there be a connection between the Eagle that flies at the beginning of remake and in the final scene of Intergrade and Zack saying "those wings, I want them too" when he died?. I like to think in that timeline even as a spirit he's still watching the main characters of the story

Thanks for sharing your love of FFVII, Max. Can’t wait for more of your videos and thoughts on this trailer, and the many other videos gearing up for the release. Definitely tuning in to get me more hyped for this game.

This really looks like a labor of love from the devs. It looks incredible, every bit as good as part 1.

The child-like joy Max exhibits anytime FF VII anything is put in front of his face is a true joy.

Every time I see Max get hyped over these FF7 games, my own hype increases 😆 I’m so excited, I cannot wait for this game to come out!

I literally tear down from excitement and this reaction is pure gold, this is exactly how i feel! lmao

Absolutely amazing. I wish the part Geoff trolled the audience with the door dash part was added to this at the beginning hahaha

Max's giddiness over the entire thing is really contagious cause I could feel my grin getting wider and wider as the video went on

@8:52 When Aerith is calling for Tifa to join in on the dualtech style attack, and the party is them and Cloud, you can see Barrett in the background start shooting at something. It'll be interesting to see if there is an active PHS system that allows other characters to swap in since they are present during the combat sequence.

Seeing this trailer was like an early birthday press and now I’m seeing Maxs reaction on my birthday and it’s just fantastic. 💫

My theory is that Sephiroth is trying to prevent Cloud and Tifa’s lifestream trip. If the two are at odds with each other then she never gets to recover him and Cloud is lost forever, not able to fight Sephiroth.

I think for cloud in zacks timeline, it might be when we see him in the robes saying “reunion”. Without tifa helping cloud and the death of zack not propelling cloud for his story, he might now actually just be another sephiroth clone

Back when they made the ps3 tech demo that same night I had a dream of me playing what I imagined Final Fantasy Remake would look and play like and this is not far off, however it was a part that hasn't been shown or even barely spoken about, I was piloting the highwind, chasing the Ultima Weapon through the valleys of Cosmo Canyon, all in a cool action sequence with the Weapon Raid theme playing. If this comes true then I will be super happy.

I like that they added the team attacks. It makes the combat a lot more fun for sure

When I saw the trailer with Max, I have massive goosebumps and in awe by the amount of sheer contents that the games gonna have and also the fact that it comes with two disc really makes it even more awesome.

I think it’s time to have some uncomfortable conversations and admit that these three parts are gonna be better than the original

Oh you just KNOW that the development team are still watching these videos and getting hyped all over again! We need reactions to the reaction!

I totally relate how max reacts, this is literally a dream come true

Max, you are THE guy I go to when it comes to getting hyped about FF7. You embody that contagious excitement perfectly! Thank you.

We all knew it was coming but even then we just couldn't stop cheering and just laughing and smiling! Max's reaction live was absolutely amazing! Rebirth just looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait!

Rewatched this a few times now, Max is such a wholesome dude 😊

As far as I remember, in the post credits sequence with zack, they walk “past” the main party from the game. And it feels like it’s in a “different time/timeline/space” but in the same location. So yeah, I think that’s the case. They will probably meet up as Sephiroth has in the first game. Probably have a cloud meeting cloud moment. Or maybe he dies in zack’s timeline and then they have the emotional reunion as their friend died in each of their original timelines

I nearly cried watching this. It’s insane how special this franchise has become again. FF16 and SF6 will take up all of my gaming needs for the rest of the year until Spider-Man 2 in October, and then FF7 Rebirth in 2024 😭

Seeing Max filled with joy around Final Fantasy 7 is what I enjoy out of him, what can I say? Final Fantasy 7 is the reason I also got into FF, and the environment is beautiful!

Every time I'm sad I comw back to Max's FF7 reactions and they never fail to make me happy.

Watching this live with max is one the best things ever. Keep on keepin on Max

That 1:49 reaction is a Class A example of max's energy. It's why I watch him 😂

Even though the trailer showed everything he’s been talking about for 3 yrs now, I’m still entertained by how excited he gets about the exact things he predicted and wanted

Brought me to tears, This is the definitive remake/reimagining any creative studio should learn from.

When the music start kickn man the chills, remake was already crazy. Rebirth will make you insane. I love it !

Anyone notice that the music played during our group being injured in the beginning is music from the arbiter of fate boss fight? That means them being injured/killed is a direct result of that battle

I wish I could love anything in this life as much as Max loves FF7...

Max in the background "WHAT." as the outro hits hahahaha

I first started watching max when I discovered his boss rage videos . Then I became interested in his reaction videos , along with his love for sf . I don't play SF or FF7 and I never will as they ain't really my bag . But ... Watching maxs video when he talked about the ff7 studio watching him talk about it that gave them the will to do it . Then seeing his reaction to this chocked me up lol I'm so happy for him

Was literally waiting for Max’s reaction, the pure joy and excitement would give so much more motivation for the FFVII team. Also, don’t forget Taco Bell for the win lmao

Max’s reaction to this trailer was perfect and everything I was hoping for and more! His first reaction and being speechless and then analyzing everything was great, especially when the Dual Techs were revealed! Max and NicoB’s hype reactions to FF7R got me invested in the Remake and I’m so excited to experience Rebirth with everyone!

Was grinning so hard during my lunch break in work when I saw Max's passion just burst from his face, I was giddy just thinking of all the future breakdown & theory videos he's about to lay on us all! I can't even fathom that we've got less than a year until we experience the next chapter of the best remake of all time! What a time to be alive!!! 😁🙏🏽

Whenever there is new ff7 remake news I always pop my head up here because I always love Max’s excited reactions

The tornado could refer to the Whisper tornado at the end of Remake…. but what about Story of the Ancients scene in Remake? The one where Barret, Tifa and Cloud are in the simulation room If you remember that scene from Remake, you'll also remember the simulation room glitched and showed Midgar being destroyed by several orange "tornadoes" (essentially the end of FF7 OG). Soon after, Cloud turns around and sees Barret and Tifa dead. What do we see in the new Rebirth trailer? Barret and Tifa in gurneys supposedly dead. The news clip in the Rebirth trailer could be the aftermath of this glitched scene from Remake. My theory is that in the simulation room in Remake, Sephiroth actually showed Cloud Zack's timeline when "tornadoes swept through sector 0, 1 and 2."

The immeasurable hysteria and hype surrounding this game along with the community and chatroom is why im a Max and yovideogames fan! Couldnt be happier for everyone one involved! LETS GOOO! 🎉

I have this sudden urge to go back and rewatch Max’s FFVIIR Let’s Play.

I just beat Final Fantasy VII Remake yesterday. cant wait for this game. looks amazing.

Your hype for FF7 never ceases to be infectious. Thanks for being an inspiration as always dood.

I've been refreshing my subscription page non-stop for this video lmaoo

Now THIS is a proper reaction for Rebirth's reveal!

Max: Let's not get too excited also Max Max: LETS F__G GOOOOOOOO!!!

Max's joy is so infectious when I saw the trailer at first I thought it was just kind of cool didn't really wow me and now rewatching the trailer with his reaction has got me smiling ear-to-ear😅

We're all better for people like Max and the joy he feels for things that give us joy. I love this channel and all it does!

You know that max is super hyped when his voice is becomming high pitched😂❤

Its amazing to find one person in the world who shares the same emotions as me. I have seen this video about 70-80 times. Thank you friend.

Sephiroth is trying to convince Cloud that Tifa is dead.

I already have seen the trailer at least a dozen of times, and also the max reaction on the twitch vod many times

I'm so glad I was told I didn't need to play the original to enjoy/appreciate FF7 Remake. I love not being able to understand what's different from the original until someone else tells me why it's different and what the implications of that are. Glad Max is excited, me? Eh...I guess I find out how excited I should be once I know what's going on.

Seeing those four on stretchers at the beginning make me think it’s after that scene where the plot ghosts protect them from that crash on the highway in the first game. Except in this reality, they weren’t protected.

I want a translation for that Japanese trailer. In English, at the end, Sephiroth says “you know I killed her. So, who is ‘she’?” But in the Japanese at that same point, you can clearly hear him name Tifa.

Yuffie is terrified of Jenova 🥺 Nero totally screwed her up. Intermission hinted at Wutai changing a ton but there's a whole other dimension to her character with this. I couldn't be happier with how big a revamp her story is getting and I expect the same for Cid, Vincent and Cait Sith the story is going to be so rich.

7:48 It's probably Corel and the reactor you pass through on the way to Gold Saucer before the bridge. Cave of the Gi would probably have been more creepy

I definitely blowed chunks after watching this! They ALL ride Chocobos! Red XII’s gameplay with Yuffie, Jenova second fight, Elena is finally real! Omg I’m so hyped I could cry 😭 The fact a modern game takes 2 discs shows just how much content will be in part 2. I wonder how far we’ll get? Maybe we’ll meet Cid but he won’t join us yet? Or after “someone” dies at the end. I’m just glad it’ll be longer than part 1, I’m gonna be so lost in this game So this time it’s just PS5 only they’re going the FF16 route
