[@davidwilson6577]

Some things - Cloud isn't really a 'clone' of Sephiroth, it was just an attempt to put Jenova cells into another person like they did with Sephiroth when he was a foetus. -They were chasing a shape-shifting Jenova that looked like Sephiroth, but the mind in control of it really was Sephiroth so it's not that much of a difference. It's just that Sephiroth's real body was all cut in half and not up for walking about. Because Jenova is a hive mind, and he was a part of it, he was able to subjugate the actual Jenova. His and its goals are pretty much aligned though so I don't think it would've minded. -Cloud never joined SOLDIER. He tried, but failed, and ended up just a regular old grunt. He still killed Sephiroth basically so I dunno what their entrance exam was like. I guess Zack softened him up? -Because Cloud has been merged with the Jenova cells, the comment about Tifa and his child being a Jenova baby is probably accurate, but Tifa never gets pregnant. :( -If they hadn't killed Sephiroth, he probably would've just sucked up the Lifestream like Kirby when Meteor hit, so they did do something. It's just that Aerith didn't. She died for nothing.

[@ThatGuySizzleMac]

Cloud caught Sephiroth off-guard and was in a blind rage cause he thought Tifa was dead. That's why he was so confused about how he managed to kill him. Sephiroth was just kinda walking out of the reactor thinking he killed everyone so he never noticed Cloud until Cloud had already impaled him. Cloud just got extremely lucky.

Fun fact, the Mako energy isn't just green petrol. They don't burn it. They distill it, then condense it with Fractional Freezing and high pressure vessels.

I dont know what I was expecting from this game but it certainly wasn't every single thing I just heard is in this game

[@thesaviorofsouls5210]

Sepiroth is also here and explains then he flies away Happens every single scene Incredible writing

From the FMVs I saw in my childhood, I had no clue FF7 looked like Roblox.

I have fallen asleep 3 separate times while trying to make it through this video. I will keep trying until I can do it. Final Fantasy won’t beat me!

Would've called for help but got distracted by Mark staring into my soul.

Love the new channel icon

[@jedgrahek1426]

Wow, I honestly have a better understanding of the Ancients part of the story and how that ties everything else together due to the uh, visual aids, used in this video. Using Ceasar Augustus was particularly evocative for some reason. Seriously, good job guys. edit: You know, Squall is a huge chad compared to Cloud when you actually think about it lol.

This narrative is a big old game of and then; So there is a destructive magic meteor, and then, the meteor injures the planet, and then, Setheroth flies away, and then, Coud is possessed, and then, he isn't possessed, and then, they find a puzzle, and then, they solve the puzzle, and then, the temple shrinks, and then and then and then.

Or for those in the other camp: Accuses the only black man in miles.

This man gives off major Internet Historian vibes...

This game is definitely a snowballing case of "and then this happened."

[@yav1n]

Oh thank you so much, I allways wanted to go trough FF7 but these games have rebuted me for years (I finished one and that was enough). Now we have a nice video with the full plot

[@mikehunt8375]

I'm old and I loved this when it came out! Beat it twice.

[@BunkerFox]

I follow you and I have subscribed just to hear your accent, you are brilliant and we share that love-obsession for the sims 2! Kisses of an Argentine girl from Germany!

[@patrickbohn5235]

I don't know if I actually understand FF7 any more now but it was certainly entertaining

[@Joeseph_Mamamoa]

I only played this game for a few hours. This story is all over the place

[@MyJosh360]

These Lego games have gotten much better!

I started my journey with the Final Fantasy series through Dissidia and fell in love with Cloud Strife. And now here I am, watching IH trashing Cloud... Astonishing.

God I love this channel

[@DreamersDisease88]

When I was a little kid I thought all the final fantasy was just a movie you would watch on the PlayStation I had no idea you could play it because for the commercials there was never any gameplay it was all like cut scenes

[@MoeChicken]

It's so nice to see a representation of this game that doesn't play into any of the memes or whatever surrounding it. It's just refreshing to hear about this game from someone with no real connection to it. It's like when Dan from Game Grumps was shocked about Sheik.

[@Not_Soundwave]

I had this video on in the background while playing a game and about seven minutes in I was like "wait it's still going?" I really should start checking the lengths.

[@St1ckyJ0e]

Jesus this is a long one, guess you do have all day

[@itsdantaylor]

8:12 the (admittedly stupid) reason is that Hojo thinks that Aerith will die of old age before they will finish running all the experiments he wants to run. Red XIII's species lives for a very long time. So if you combine the two, you get a Ancient who has the ability to live for over 1,000 years or so..................YEAH in the remake they retcon this that Hojo entertains the idea of impregnating her with Genesis or Sephiroth Samples.

[@amrullahsatria1762]

Final fantasy always have the most elaborate story since MGS, really love this series, you should do FF XII

[@tomsweeny6837]

If you think about it, Aeris' corpse probably bloated up and ruined the water when they left her in the pool. Like these guys couldn't even be bothered to find a sack, some rope and a brick.

[@KuroeNezumi]

Hey! At least Tidus isn't giving the bad guys an upper hand every time it is convenient, nor is he manipulated into doing the bad guys bidding. Her even rescues his love interest and kills her evil fiancee. And that's halfway through the game.

[@jasperreyes5174]

The Bad Thing about Tidus is that he's just Yuna's Imaginary Ideal Boyfriend and never actually exists... If you only played FFX and not the other games... Scratch that... He still is even if you did play the other games...

Also he actually faces his daddy issues at the end and reunites with his dad.

[@centralintelligenceagency9003]

@@jasperreyes5174 ​ But then, the Fayth tell him that he's more than just a dream because he was touched by Sin. Also, right at the end of the ending cutscene, after we saw Yuna doing the Tidus whistle at the ocean, a few pyreflies appear and he emerges. So in FFX itself, the Fayth are like "You know, those guys saved us from Yu Yevon forcing us to keep rendering his fanfiction, we ought to cut them some slack." And that was years before Square botched a movie and panic made a sequel in a desperate attempt to not go broke, or the FFX-2.5 insanity. Also, can you really call something imaginary when that imaginary thing can atomize monsters with a megaflare?

@@centralintelligenceagency9003 Final Fantasy X is a world where a Nightmare can destroy the whole world... An Ideal that can atomize monsters is par for the course...
