Games like this just don’t come around much anymore, not even in the Zelda series. They’re really indicative of a bottled moment in time, where all the stars aligned and the perfect team was brought together under the perfect circumstances to make something truly special. Kids these days can have their big open world adventures, but I know of a time where this was as big as it got and people were happy. I’m only 17, but I think sometimes I was born too late.

My uncle Jeremy had died by his own hand!

Yeah for some reason they made Romancing Saga as Final Fantasy legend 1 and 2 for game boy lol.

christmas of 1997, back when my parents didnt even know about eachothers existence yet lmao. though, playing oot 3d in 2011 when i was 9 years old as the first game i got with my 3ds, its the game that made me fall in love with the games up until this day!

Did it take anyone a little longer for Aerith's death to sink in? I had played all the final fantasy games prior to this one. So, my first reaction was how inconvenient this was and I'll just use a phoenix down and bring her back and the game goes on. And it really couldn't bring her back that I suddenly took her death way more seriously. Because, before that, there really wasn't any permanent death in these games that were as significant as her death

A couple of years ago was playing through the trilogy on original hardware. Had a blast, beat 2 and 3 to 100% (played out of order, couldn't find the first locally), went to play the last level of Turok 1 and my memory card wiped :/ Great game, but I'm not gonna play it again until I buy the HD remaster. Great video! Really like your style and looking forward to more videos

This was an amazing watch. I haven’t played through Final Fantasy VII in years and had forgot most of the stuff after the party gets ti the northern cave for the first time. It was great going down memory lane again.

39:14 🤨 "..in a car going toward Walmart." ?? 😀

do a majoras mask one next

3 hours and 15 minutes well spent. Thank you

Great video! Subscribed and playlist saved. I'll always love Ocarina, still remember my brother opening it Christmas morning that year and being excited. It was his game, so he got to play it first. He would tell me all about it, and I couldn't wait to play it myself. When I finally got my chance I couldn't believe how awesome the game was. The world felt huge (replaying it later I would realize how small it actually is), the night and day cycle and weather effects made it feel real. Maybe you had to be there, but to me this game will always be a masterpiece.

Nice review, though the music you are using feels off for this kind of vid.

Your forgetting phantasy star and some others

3:02:42 There is a way to lose during the final battle/ duel with Sephiroth.. If you stand there and do nothing Sephiroth will attack you and you can actually die and get a game over here. Sure, why would you let that happen lol… but just wanted to clarify that there is a way to lose since it was mentioned there is no way to lose.

3 hours long and he decides to speak as slow as he could humanly possibly can

This video was phenomenal! Pure nostalgia!!!

2:33:05 favorite part of the game

So you’re telling me I unknowingly made the final boss way more difficult on myself as a kid by leveling my three mains to level 99 and obtaining knights of the round before even attempting to fight him?

In all honesty nintendo should have gone with an octacore for switch just fir better porting for games

D&D vs FF? Nah wrong take dude

19:49 I am thinking of Matt Patt now saying "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusic Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"

My favorite game of all time. It's simply the best work of art there is to me. Pretty sad to see where the series is going, but OoT will still hold up forever. Amazing video, thank you! :)

The Dadliest Man, You're fantastic! Let's be friends and have fun!

My brothers were always ahead of me in the playthrough, being youngest and all means i get last turn. When they told me Aeris dies i 100% didnt beleive them, untill i saw it. Massive story moment, thank you for giving it a proper level of respect

I was 17 when this OoT was released, but I didn’t own an N64 until I was 19. Back in 1999 we had dial-up internet. No youtube, very few and hard-to-find online walkthroughs. I had just moved out of my parents’ house and I had my very own apartment with no roommates. (I’m sure I’m not the only introvert among us…). I sat on my cheap futon and played this game on my clunky tube TV for hours and days and weeks. The characters were my friends and I have so many wonderful memories of unlocking these secrets all by myself. I played this game through at least 6 times over the course of my young adulthood. As much as I’d love to replay it today (still have the old N64), I can’t get past the polygons and technical limitations. Watching your video is a perfect substitution … thank you for posting. ❤

Thanks for your engrossing annalis on this remarkable Epic Final Fantasy 7! But the Correct truth is that FF7 Is vastly far So much more than just a re telling of the story" it's A whole new completely beefed up brought up to date Absolute Re- Telling of the legendary Epic❤ Made for A New Generation!! Please send us more on anything that is Finnal Fantasy we all love it❤

I played this game in 1997, without spoilers, I still tear up at hearing Aeris's theme, and I took a day and a half to process her death during my initial playthrough,

Amazing Video there is actually english release of Traces of Two pasts btw, Its really good

Fun point, if you go into the honey bee inn and talk to the bees you can get your make up done

Dunes death is a lot better in the OG rebirth tried but comes across as a lot more goofy with the death by shinra grunt

​@thedadliestman Hey Dadliest great video my man. You seem to be open to criticism from your viewers so I have some of my own to add. You have nothing to apologize for, NOTHING. Do not pay attention to the dbags throwing a fit over a name bring mispronounced. I guess people really will find anything to complain about these days. People posting comments about how they can't believe that a person could continue to mispronounce a name are not the kind of people you should take criticism from. Those are the type of people you flat ignore. It's likely they are simply miserable with themselves, and miserable to be around. Anyway, keep up the awesome work!😂

You need far more eyes on your work!

I played this game in '98 when i was like 13. It was the first RPG/JRPG I ever played and I remember the story sucked me in and I kept playing because I wanted to know what happened next. The sound track was also amazing. I remember I hooked up my TV to my Stereo and recorded my favorite songs on a cassette tape! Great video man, but I had to stop watching it, since watching this made me realize I don't remember much of the plot anymore, so I have a chance to replay it again and kinda be surprised. I'll come back and finish it then!

I played the game when it first came out on the ps1. Nothing prepared me for Aries dying. It rocked me to the core. It was the first time a video game made me feel that way. The game was a masterpiece.

Gosh this video made me want to go play through ff7 again, the game is truly a masterpiece, while the remake is not

Will we see one for a new nightmare?

3:01:25 cause homies can survive this supernova~

love the video. would love to see a longform vid exploring all the side quests, and what their little stories are... I just love ff7 lol

Neat trick about the teddy bear and the token. Ive beaten the game more times than i can count, but i never knew that one... As carnby, you can drop the grenade down the chute in the snake/pom pom room before climbing down. It takes out the guys below.

The scene in Gongaga village is expanded a little more if you have Tifa AND Aeris in the party.

I hate Cait Sith. Everytime I plat through this game I change his name to Cat Shit.

Good God damn that's some dramatic backing music. Calm down, lol. It's a video game. Edit: Lol I'm imagining this music playing over slow-mo footage of Carnby fist fighting those demon chicken things while the Motivational Rocky Monologue plays over it.

35:33 Aerith is the proper spelling and pronunciation. The Japanese is translated poorly. The Japanese don’t have a “th” sound in their vocabulary, so they just say Ay - Ri - Su(with a sharpness that implies the “th” sound, japanese is wierd) but it’s a context thing. I don’t blame the translators. There probably wasn’t a lot of back and forth communication back in the day.

Shocked to hear someone say Aeris in this day and age.

Final Fantasy was my whole summer before 8th grade started. I played every day with my cousin.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had trouble with the bomb flower wall puzzle lmao when I solved it I was like how didn't I see that before in the past week!!!I was like 10 but I get that same smile whenever I replay it and come ti this puzzle... it made me think more of my surroundings in games

C’mon guys, it’s a praise Miyamoto button. Get your heads straight.

Just though I let everyone know although the save file works once your playing it, if you quit the game and come back the next day, you seem to start of from the beginning of the game again, so consider before you buy this game on Steam, you may end up with same problem, I love this game I played it since it came out, but I may end up asking for my money back due to the saves not working on Steam, not certain why it doesn't work just know it doesn't.
