My original copy of FFVII had four discs. It was the Platinum Edition and the extra was a demo disc for FFVIII. Then later on I received FFVIII for a birthday disguised in a generic alarm clock box. I completely lost it once I discovered what it actually was. Fond childhood memories. The FF trilogy on Playstation will forever hold a special place in my heart.

[@ericfiumano4694]

I'm Italian and I bought the game during a tour in France because I thought:" damn, a 4cds game! I have to get it". The game was obviously in French and, even if I could understand 1 word out of 3, I managed to enjoy and finish the game 🤣🤣

[@daerunia]

Imagine having "Sephiroth Choir" on your resume. Legendary.

[@GaiaGhost]

Fun fact about holy: while there is no holy materia, there is the alexander summon, which is holy elemental. Moreover, you can combine it with an elemental materia on your weapon to deal holy damage with every hit. Oddly enough, some enemies in the Northern Crater die instantly when hit with holy elemental attacks.

[@LittleAl016]

Any clues to what those enemies are?

[@da-barrera]

The members of the Sephiroth Choir needs more recognition. Actually didn't know about them until now

[@akiinmoonlight79]

25 years and this game is still a relevant masterpiece ❤🛐

[@PetterNe]

Indeed. One of my most cherished memories …

[@jamesestelle7260]

The reason is the time it was released. At that time it was in the same time a milestone was met in video game history. Those born in 1977 to 1981 experienced the revolution of gaming. And I'm willing to bet most people who are even watching this were born during that time. In 1985 the release of Nintendo signified the start of elementary school. Super Nintendo in 91 was middle education, and 64/Playstation was higher education prior to college. That was peak "coming of age" for gamers and when life was about the advancement of games. It also peaked the next year's following to go to college for computer science statistically speaking. This game came out right at that golden time. And it created a new playing genre of open world exploration mixed with amazing visuals and cut scenes.

[@dannikasoukoroff9633]

Agreed!!!!

[@MrKenichi22]

So true

[@KnownAsKenji]

Squeenix 10 years ago: 'We're not touching 7, much less remaking it, it's sacred.' Squeenix in 2021: 'I wonder how many FF7 mobile games we can release in a year.'

[@kileysevens9116]

Omg lmfao

[@liamnehren1054]

The music of the final fantasy series is amazing all of the musicians involved should infinitely take pride in their work this also goes for most if not all square games.

[@TsuikeNovaus]

I also played FF7 for the first million times on pc only. Playing through it for the first time on PS1 was definitely an experience. As great as the Original soundtrack is...I do sometimes listen to those old midi soundtracks for the nostalgia.

[@jasonroman578]

I remember….. being 12 and walking around town….. walking around school….. always looking for loose change so I could save up to buy FF7. It took almost 4 months but I did it. Every penny,nickel,dime I found went directly into my pocket. How happy I was when I found a quarter…. Let alone if someone gave me 1$. The work was well worth it, I fell in love with the game 😍

[@CloudStrife8894]

Now You should have leveled up a lot for that hard work haha.

[@jessehenderson2967]

It might be time for my annual replay of FF7.....

[@franimal86]

I was thinking that all last week but went for FFT on my emulator to switch it up a bit

[@jessehenderson2967]

@@franimal86 Great choice as well, but I've already done my play through of FFT this year haha. Emulators are always great, I got my Vita though. Are you playing the Ps1 version or the PsP?

[@sandmaker47]

Ff7 the gift that keeps on giving

[@SteamPunk96]

Just a quick note about the battle framerate you mention around 11:00 The battles ran at 15fps on both platforms, but the major difference was that the menu's themselves updated at 60fps on PS1 and were locked to 15fps (same as the battle animations) on PC, leading to a much slower, clunkier experience.

[@JesseColton]

It's almost impossible to play on the PS4 version, you keep accidentally skipping options in menus and clicking the wrong thing

[@SteamPunk96]

@Dawn Razor Menu's updating at 60fps have much MUCH lower input lag than menu's updating at 15fps, imaging trying to navigate Windows but every time you try to scroll to something it takes almost a full second to get there

[@SteamPunk96]

@Dawn Razor Count yourself lucky I suppose, the reason it was even brought up in this video is because it was a major factor in the PC port of the time being the lesser version.

[@darrenwade3266]

​@Dawn Razor "Didn't effect me, must be something wrong with you" Its a widely held issue. Lucky you that you didn't notice it.

[@nomadnibzz8918]

Remember playin as a kid and would say I was "SICK" and needed to stay home. And I would play this all day long and night long.👌 my favorite game still to this day and I still play it time to time.

[@KezVanBeck]

I see what you did there🤓

[@GooseGumlizzard]

mom, I are sick

[@shadowravenraz1748]

Not so fun fact: I spent hundreds of hours, more than I care to admit, chasing down rumors of reviving General Leo in Final Fantasy 6. So much in fact that I never cared to pursue reviving Aerith, my friends swore it was possible. Fool me once... fool me twice. 😅

[@CordyCordyCordyCordy]

There’s also the Alexander summon materia, which is the only way to deal holy damage afaik

[@TheDigitalDecade]

True.

[@jeremybrandt5779]

With added effect or elemental? I never know the difference

[@arturogutierrez8342]

@@jeremybrandt5779 With Elemental. Added effect is to either inflict or protect against status effects, like Poison or Sleep.

Did You Know? FF7 Integrade's long awaited PC port comes out on Thursday and the gaming public got collective blue materia when we realized it was an EGS exclusive.

[@Phantomyre]

Hamauzu is also the main composer for the music in Dirge of Cerberus.

[@loaeterna2384]

i still really want to know about Sephiroths backstory, like his childhood, how he grew up, who trained him, where did the Masamune come from.

[@noahblevins9569]

Look up the Final Fantasy Crisis Core storyline. It is fairly detailed, and a great story that dives into Zach, Sephiroth, Hojo, Vincent, Lucretzia, and Aeris.

[@Nortic111]

[@bobsteel1981]

You should note that FFVII on PC came with four discs in Europe. There was the installation disc too. :D

[@Threesixtyci]

America, as well. Really the only thing different on the disks themselves, were the FMVs.

Fun Fact: Tifa rule34 was shown in a senate livecall

[@reiddutchess9955]

A soundtrack that was "pretty spectacular"? I would argue that the soundtrack is flawless :)

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I love Crisis Core's a bit more, but both are really amazing. And for all the flack FF13 gets, its soundtrack is also really good. I frequently find myself humming Sunleth Waterscape :) Ugh, and how can I leave off FFXV, with songs like False di Fantastica? You know what? All of Final Fantasy's music is amazing 😂😂. They're very, very fortunate to have sourced some phenomenal talent that many other companies wish were under their belt.

[@reiddutchess9955]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley everything Nobuo created was gold, in my opinion. Many other composers for later games also created amazing musical scores as well.

[@nobodyknew]

@@reiddutchess9955 I agree: Nobuo is one of my favorite composers of all time! Top 3, easy. Along with Joe Hisaishi and John Williams. (it's obvious I enjoy a good, fun, beautiful story with excellent music, isn't it?) :P

[@HiryuBlue]

Geeze you had the "Angermax" limit break by the time you got to Airbuster? You must've grinded a ton.

[@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats]

One thing we all know is no matter how flashy it is the remake will never touch the original

[@wikitiki209]

I hope it does. Different but just as good

[@ecritdelajaponographie8565]

Minor note (and sorry for being a pronunciation freak), but "Hama-uzu" is read as it's written. "Hama", meaning "beach", is a fairly common element in Japanese surnames; I was gonna go and find a list of people who worked on FF7 and had names with "hama" in them, but I was lazy and just went to the English Wikipedia article, which only mentions one: Shirō Hamaguchi was apparently the arranger for the 2003 piano album.

[@SomniaCE]

This approach to trivia is absolutely fantastic, I love it!

[@willh4340]

I love (almost) all things FF! Were the clips in this video from the International version? I swear I played FFVII, but I don't remember that content. I thought the composer and singer getting married was awesome. I thought the tidbit about Tose was amazing! I always thought they were bought specifically to expand the team. I never even knew that they were so integral in previous CG and gameplay!

[@gorimbaud]

Hamauzu didn't only do XIII and VIIR, he also contributed to X, though Uematsu was still lead composer.

[@JesseColton]

And the entire Final Fantasy XIII trilogy

[@Biouke]

To me, Hamauzu will always be the composer of SaGa Frontier games. Those were great. What he composed for Final Fantasy, on the other hand, I like way less.

[@Final-Ts]

Don't forget though (point 4)... that Holy COULD still be inflicted, but only through the summoning of Alexander.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

You can link it with elemental to have holy attacks

I also feel insulted that they thought we needed an easy mode lol. Did they forget that Ultima and Wizardry, two of the hardest RPGs like ever, came from the US?

Its also the reason we got mystic quest as well. Funny enough mystic quest was my first final fantasy game.

They go through and break down chapter by chapter all the games in the lore, they’ve done remake, dirge, crisis core , advent children and are currently in the midst of before crisis

[@gizzad]

I remember cringing when the battle finale music played on PC, it was the holy grail of "do not mess with this."

[@xRocketzFighterx]

I'm glad younger gamers never experienced the annoying 80s n 90s PC gaming era where there were so many soundcards which was such a crap shoot if some games barely played any sound at all. But those who were very tech savy can find or make unique sound card like software to make games sound better or cursed from their original midi versions.

Chrono Trigger/Cross REALLY need a remake... Seeing them with modern graphics !

Chrono Cross I can agree on, since the primitive 3D is kind of a mess, but for Chrono Trigger I think they just need to stop doing stuff like messing up the text boxes for their re-releases.

[@shebakoby]

am I hallucinating, or was the theme for the ice fields/icicle town based on Blue Danube?

I don't know if this is Mandela effect type of thing, but I seriously remember my copy containing 4 discs. I got it second hand from a game shop (the ones who sold second hand games and pokémon cards) so may have been international version? Unless the UK did get that type. Also this music makes me so sad. I miss going through this game for the first time ever. That was the best feeling I've ever had apart from when my children were born.

@Final Fantasy Union - Do you have any interest in doing an article / video on the Final Fantasy XI Chocobo with Elvaan rider statue? They are incredibly rare and I still have the box and foam for my statue. I know you have done an article on the Final Fantasy XI Shadowlord statue in the past. Let me know if you're interested. The statue is very rare, incredibly rare to find for sale, and very expensive if you do find it. I spent $1500 to purchase mine after 4 years worth of inquires.
