The saddest one is one day, he might end up to the last screen, a birthday without him. 😢 Really feel sad.

tbf, I think everyone would like to see a 20 minute breeding scene for many of Nomura's characters.

THE best game intro ever. Defiance was my fav game of the franchise though.

What's with the removed music replaced with some...noise?

This game is such high level art

its all still confusing to me

Is an amazing game

Any reason for skipping 3, 5 voices? Im sure someone's asked but I have not looked.

The most interesting about this trailer is really how it actually might hint Cirialla's motivation for finally becoming a full fledged Witcher... Really intense. They even envisioned the right monster for this situation. Notice how Cirillas demeanour changes the second it "suggests" fate could not be changed - that she couldn't... Her outcry at the end of the fight, when finishing the bauk, just says it all.

how is this a reference to anduin bro? the Lich King was before anduin! when anduin was juts a teenager. :/ thumbs down on your "cinematic professional opinion" i question your "filmmakers" opinion of this cinematic. you explain nothing on the transitions, angles, blackouts and etc. you have no insight on what is going on in the shots. thumbs down

This was one of the most convincing arguments I've seen about the direction of the Remake series. Maybe the most convincing. I definitely think there will be some changes to how events play out and certainly to the ending. But given your arguments around cinematic language and creating a more complete story that supports the conpilation, I could definitely see any changes reflecting that approach. Excellent video. I'm subscribing.

This was always my first impression and i dont see how so many talk about different realities saying they messed up the finale 🤷‍♂️

This trailer is unmatched. u cant compare this level of dedication and coreography to anything from hoyoverse

just in advance, WATCH OUT if you watch Burnice and rappa trailer its the age of music video

I’m 54 this was one of my first games I bought. I have the original games still and now the Xbox1 version. A 1999 game and still one of the best

Interestingly Hoyo's 3 current games had a MV for their characters at the same time lol

This Character demo was extremely intense - it has so much lore hidden within it - he might be one of deeper characters in the game his EP which is also out is much more about his internal struggles, yet this one intrigued me the most - i just started dipping my toes into game design although I’ve been writing for many years the story telling in this game has opened my eyes in so many ways…..Excellent review wish we had time to talk more about it

Small theory I’ve kinda juggled with after seeing this ep. It always was weird to me, especially after seeing the nibelheim incident in rebirth, that septh’s decent in the darkness was too abrupt ( not in a bad way but a interesting way). First thing he wanted to go to the reactor and get his mother( and now it makes even more sense with the dreams he has with jebova in this ep) but the part that was always weird to me is why did Sephiroth kill the villagers? It felt like big jump in his character. At first I was like well maybe the jenova cells within him sort of prompted him to enact her killing and destroying nature as a parasite, but now I’m thinking of smth else, based on the info of the masamune. The incident with the old man masamune having an altercation with the people in his village and him ending up killing them is way to similar to the nibelheim incident. Idk I’m maybe going way to much into theory territory, but what if in the moment when septh sets out to go to the reactor in the night of fire, the villagers ( that were worried about him bc he was acting weird and were always following him) are sort of having they re image and intentions altered by the jenova dna inside of sephiroth, and septh sees and perceives the villagers the same way as the villagers that tried to kill and steal the sword from the old dude masamune. Meaning that the jenova cells are almost recreating the exact scenario that happened back then with old man masamune, and maybe another factor of that happening is bc sepths emotions were at a all time high. Going even further, the line of “even if the world stands against you, I’ll always be there for you” ( or smth like that ) could be the final push that septh needed to act on destroying the nibelheim village, on top of this crazy illusions based on the memory’s and experience of the jenova dna cells inside septh and maybe even inside the masamune sword itself ( if its true that the sword was made with jenova materials). What do you think?🤣🤣

👋 Can you please analyse Kinich's trailer from GI. He has a unique aesthetic and great theme, it's one of my all-time favourites for sure. Thanks 💚, have an awesome day.

Please react to Kinich's trailer too, it's just awesome 💚💚

Harumasa is incredibly interesting as a character, even his personality. He goes from being playful to being serious at times, but everything he says he plays off as a joke. I kinda get the feeling that he's lonely based off of that. Highly recommend looking at Lighter's demo and EP if you haven't already. Incredible animation and storytelling, I'd think you'd have a lot of fun with those. One is incredibly short but it's PACKED with animation masterpieces.

No, he doesn't change into a monster in battle but I actually like that idea. An agent that is half ethereal and can use ethereal power.

1:36 bro just experienced the superman effect. 5:08 the way he fights is almost Identical to an enemy

Damn her bag says Onion Queen…that she is indeed 🥲

Big underrated one is TKO demo for lighter. Shorter than usual animations but the production is no short from unfathomable

Harumasa's EP also has some great visual and story metaphors about his fear of rejection and of turning into or being seen as a monster. It's also a great tonal shift in presentation.

I'm a month late, and everyone else gave their two cents, but I figured I'd give mine just to add on and summarize: *Shadow the Hedgehog - The Ultimate Lifeform* Shadow is a Mobian hedgehog/Black Arms hybrid who was created by the genius Prof. Gerald Robotnik. He cannot age, get sick, or even die, making him one of, if not, the most overpowered character in the franchise complete with teleportation, freezing/slowing down time, and firing energy projectiles from his hands. Shadow was designed to find a cure for Gerald's granddaughter, Maria, who was suffering from an illness known as Neuro-Immune Deficiency Syndrome (N.I.D.S.), which is only manageable thanks to the low gravity of space. During their research, Shadow and Maria formed a close, sibling-like relationship, becoming practically inseparable until the day that the Guardian Units of Nations (G.U.N.) raided the Space Colony ARK to destroy any and all remaining traces of Project Shadow. Maria wanted to get Shadow to safety, leading him to an escape pod aboard the ARK, but the soldiers were hot on their trail, and Maria was caught in the crossfire. Clinging to her last moments of life, Maria made Shadow promise to protect all of humanity by any means necessary before pushing the button that sent the dark hedgehog down to Earth. Shadow was apprehended not long after and put in cryostasis for fifty years, eventually being reawakened by Gerald's grandson, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Upon regaining consciousness, only one word rang out through Shadow's mind: revenge. And thus, the events of Sonic Adventure 2 began.

Excellent analysis!! Probably my favourite demo from hoyo

God this remake has been a drug trip. Oof. Convoluted mess.

The night mare in this is crazy

Explanation for people don’t know without too much spoiler (it’s borderline spoiler): he has a disease since birth and still affects him to this day, due to this disease that one day he will become an ethereal (he just doesn’t know when, nobody knows, it depends on how bad the disease will turn out one day), it’s also due to this disease that he got experimented on when he was a kid. He never got turned into ethereal but it’s his fear.

SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T PLAYED HIS AGENT STORY. He’s actually an extremely interesting character. He doesn’t turn into an Ethereal (the monsters) in game, but he is more susceptible to the corruption that creates them. This is because he actually has a chronic illness called Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome. People with this illness have weaker bodies but extremely strong Ether corruption resistance, the level of symptoms varying per person. But no matter what they don’t survive long (most surviving only until they’re 20) because this aptitude for ether degrades along with their bodies over time. Everyone in the world has some sort of ether aptitude, whether it’s super weak or super strong. It’s what allows the characters to go into the Hollows (corrupted areas), or what keeps them from going inside it. The weaker aptitude you have, the more likely you’ll turn into an Ethereal when exposed to the corruption. Harumasa specifically was a child with really strong ether aptitude but he has that illness. He was abandoned by his parents because back when he was young, not much was known about the illness and so no one really knew what to do with those who had it (not explicitly said but can be worked out from in game dialogue). So he was taken in by a doctor of sorts, someone he now calls “Master”. This master took care of him as a child and gave him things to live for. He’s the one who taught Harumasa how to be an archer, how to fight, and gave him his yellow bandana. He grew up thinking that this man was trying to make him survive, and in a sense he was. But what Harumasa didn’t find out until later when his master got arrested is that he was actually an experiment. The needles connected to him at times that his “Master” said was extending his life was really just drawing out “genetic material” from him. That’s why he has those needle marks on his neck. They were using this genetic material to create an illegal drug that raised ether aptitude. It was sold like a black market drug and had extreme side effects, but because of the world they live in, it’s a commodity. So he’s had to grow up knowing he was just kinda like an animal, a resource that’s needed to help others survive. It’s incredibly sad :( Turning into an ethereal and hurting others is a fear he has because of this illness and this traumatic past.

Asaba has been experimented on hence the needle shots in his neck, as for what kind of research you can kind of guess with this trailer. as for being seen as an eatherial (might've misspelled that), it's his biggest fear.

There is one final video for Hoshimi Miyabi that you missed. It is her character teaser, Rise of the Void Hunter, if I am correct. It shows how Miyabi forms her squad, Section 6, which includes this character as well as another character. It is an awesome video!

Agreed with everything you said in the video! Especially loved how much you pointed out Tifa’s POV during the ending, I think a lot of people overlook how well it was done and what the implications are. I think it was a brave ending too, and some of the critics are too shortsighted. It’s been my hope but I think it is becoming more likely after the Rebirth final boss sequence, that Aerith and Zack will fight a version of Jenova in the Lifestream, probably while the rest of the party is fighting her too. It would be an especially cathartic close to Aerith’s personal story as a Cetra and her “The source… of everything” line in Remake. Ever Crisis I think is hinting to something like that too with Jenova NUCLEUS.

She wears her mother’s hair ornament 😭 mommy had to do it to make her strong so she can survive, theres no other choice

Great analysis of the trailer one aspect of her having shaved her head that many have not noticed , Is that many Sci Fi stories depect everyon in space shaving their heads. Especially Women to keep it form floating around in zero g and to lower the incidence of loose hairs clogging air filter etc. I too love the 80's Vibe and aesthetics, I honestly look forward to this game being released.

I cannot find the Miyabi Teaser in your channel

This is Natlan, land of war, fire, dinosaurs, motorcycles and PTSD. It's got everything from dead children to dead sisters! Everyone gets a chance to die when the horrors from beyond start invading and killing off thousands! Lotta fun!

Basically, Natlan has a form of power called Phlogiston ehich, can be used as basically electricity wothout wires. Also, there was once an Ancient Dragon civilization in Natlan which was technologically advanced. Xilonen hereself is basically a mechanic. She created her own DJ thingy, a drill for Kachina, Chasca's gun and the Pyro Archon's sunglasses.

Alissa is Jenova. ( BTW Wasn’t the arm missing or arm injury in OG FF7? What’s the deal with missing arms?)Cuz Sephiroth sacrificed her for the Masamune. Maybe 😅.

The remaster has an updated 2024 version its glroious

Simple explanation, Natlan has basically been revealed as the region that's tied to almost everything in lore that goes beyond the normal fantasy elements other regions had presented themselves to be as. Between the natural power source of Phlogiston(primordial energy that was used to make elemental energy) and having been originally inhabited by a race of advanced dragon people, Natlan has a rich history and lore behind literally everything that's been shown. So much so that its caused controversy and been accused of not just immersion breaking but even ruining the game for some people. In reality, most of the technological jumps that we've seen in the new region have been tied strictly to either recreation or weaponry and not industrialization, unlike Fontaine. So as crazy as it may appear to be at first, the "modern" look Natlan has when it comes to whatever tech is seen only exists in one way, same as the last region

Great content this month! Really liked this and the Witcher 4 trailer breakdown. Excellent job!

HoYo never fails. They go HARD on everything. And it shows. Still one of my favorite character trailers ever. The flamenco style music. The spy/criminal noir flavor.

I don't know exactly how to describe it, but Hoyo released 3 trailers in October 2024 that were all so "extra". This one, Burnice from ZZZ, and Rappa from HSR. I recommend watching all of them.

The best way to explain it feeling different or more advanced is like Wakanda from Black Panther. The Natlan region has insane technology because of what used to exist there in the past. So even though it looks primitive mountain and desert region, the tech they use is head and shoulders above the other regions. I dont want to spoil the story if you play it.

If she will be as character from Honkai Star Rail or Zenles zone zero, i will definitely pull, but as for genshin... I do not exactly like her gameplay feeling, and Natlan characters just stand out too much for Teyvat for me, so skip for now. But the trialer is really well done and has a cool vibe. Haha, I was shocked this same when I see this, even playing regularly for looong time.

The controversy was her dance was based off someone without crediting but this was before she was officially announced then they changed her dance in release and now it shouldn't be an issue. But people was upset that they took a dance from a popular clip.

I'm guessing this is going to turn out to not be Jenova pulling this stuff, but rather the Cetra. Masamune, perhaps, being a cetra blacksmith gone mad for some reason, perhaps due to being infected and manipulated by some remnant of Jenova or it's cells, and that connection is allowing the jenova-like illusions
