Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - All Enemies Comparison - Original vs Rebirth

[@C_Raccoon23]

I’m still impressed that in both Remake and Rebirth, they stayed faithful to 99% of the enemy designs, even the goofy, ridiculous ones and nearly all of them are here. If this doesn’t prove the developers are as passionate about OG FFVII as we are, then I don’t know what does.

[@thesergalladaf6902]

Tankceratops (15:06) and Golem (15:54) are the 1%

[@Killahurtz260]

The only monsters they left out was the dude on the swinging blade and the woman in the bikini

[@jase276]

The devs and the musicians are the real heroes

[@montyl.8232]

Insane amount of monster really. This is what games need to do, and not just recycle with just 5 models

[@86lanzo]

now consider the OG game had alot more..this is just the ones in Rebirth..but theres the enemies in Remake..and the ones coming in the 3rd game....we use to get 3 games with of content in 1 game..no wonder it was on 3 disks..with great pacing too.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

@86lanzo for modern standard I would already say the devs broke out of the norm. That's how bad and low our standards and expectations are already.

[@miburoushi]

Even monsters which could've been easily a color swap, they still took great care to give some differentiation. Thanks to this video I just noticed that Heatseeker and Poison Cap's... well, cap, is actually distinct.

Yessss! So happy this video is out! Love watching it with my kid nephews and letting them wow at how much graphics have improved over the years.

[@Limit02]

26:22 Im was so hyped to finally see Bizarro Sephiroth in modern fidelity and a game earlier than i expected to! Makes me wonder if Bizarro will be replaced with a different form since they already covered it in this game?

[@aliciafraser1835]

Wouldn't be surprised if the old final form of seph acts as the replacement and we get a new final form as the actual last battle.

[@thapoppyman]

there's still another form of sephiroth though "safer sephiroth" his coolest one imo and the hardest one because of the supernova move.

[@My2Cents1]

They cheaped out though. Added WAY to many mandatory minigames that outstayed their welcome more often than not. Felt like annoying mood breakers every time, amd they were obvious time sinks to draw out an embarrassingly short main quest line. And they completely botched Ancient City and Aerith’s death - the one part that had to be absolute perfection. I will never forgive them for that.

[@lynell2B375]

man, the enemy design in ff7 is wild

[@waywardwriterryu7185]

Looking at Sephiroth reborn it’s interesting noticing that it looks vaguely like a corrupted version of Emerald Weapon

[@86lanzo]

Absolutely Phenomenal job on the enemy designs. This is one way these games are true remakes..They kept the essence of the OG games enemies. But expanded and added to the enemies in meaningful ways without losing what the enemies were.. the designers and animators did a brilliant job

[@TheAC86]

Ghirofelgo at least seemed tricky to make work on a logistics level, since he just swings from one rope in the original. (Unless they went with something like sledgeworm and added ropes through the whole battle area, I guess?) This, though... This is a downgrade. They could have at LEAST turned it into a shinra robot that's built to LOOK like a triceratops or something, instead of a rhino-pig with horns. (It's not even a bad enemy monster idea! It's just not a weird ass tank dinosaur.)

[@thetimekeeper955]

I have zero knowledge of where these enemies are encountered in _Rebirth,_ but I presume they aren't far from where they were found in the OG. Assuming that, the likeliest explanation might be to better fit them into the environment(s) and/or lore. For example: 1.) Devil ride makes far more sense as either a) a fairly normal _Mad Max_ style desert gang, or b) a completely mechanical Shinra construct, than it does some random cyborg entity of unknown origin roaming the wastes outside Midgar. Option "a" was clearly chosen. 2.) Hell rider is apparently two organic entities, so fusing them as a demonstration of mako/lab horror-or even just to show the "alien-ness" of the world-is a convenient visual. 3.) Heavy tank is a variation of devil ride, in that there's no real reason for what amounts to a cyborg dinosaur to exist at all, let alone where it's encountered. Visiting Gongaga is optional in the OG and has no real plot relevance, making heavy tank's existence largely pointless beyond comedic value. This would also explain Palmer being replaced by a robot, as that fits better with the OG theme of Company Board members/department heads utilizing them (see: proud clod).

[@douglasthedragon032]

Some models seems to be reused from Final Fantasy 15.

[@gtafan110010]
