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

Comparison and evolution graphics of the enemies in Final Fantasy VII Original vs Rebirth
All the game captures, editing, thumbnail were done by me.

[@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]

@@Killahurtz260for some reason this morning it hit me that these two didn’t show up in the game and then I see this video, and then I see this comment lol

[@captainpep3]

@@montyl.8232I am curious as to why those two didn’t show up, especially the blade dude who shows up in the mansion. Though the bikini girl I’m pretty sure does show up in later parts as well

[@Banana-cc5rx]

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.

[@MatrixEvolution17]

30:00 I like how out of context someone might think they turned Palmer into a huge robot

[@theyouth2000]

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. The current artists did such a great job translating OG artists' creativity with brand new coat of paint. Thanks for the video! Really awesome work here. Keep it up!

[@haileeraestout5567]

Lol I Think It'll Be So Hilarious If The Speed Cheat Returned In PART 3 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@XanderMeander]

i've been waiting for your comparison video for rebirth ever since the game came out! you're doing incredible work compiling all of these.

Thank you! I was waiting so much for your enemies comparison between the original and Rebirth! ❤

I second that

[@NoctLightCloud]

[@4o4FoundingTitan]

It’s gonna be hard to beat for all 3 categories, but seems like stellar blade could give it a run. You never know. Remake should’ve won GoY in 2020 over Last2 imo.

[@blacknight-ey7kd]

@@4o4FoundingTitan remake certainly deserved to win in 2020, now with rebirth It would be incredible to win all three categories, I'm really rooting for it.

[@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.

[@rockkandyplay5692]

This is so so good...my favorite redesign is the Galian Beast it just looks insane. Excellent edit, excellent work by devs and designers. Masterpiece

[@eljugadorescaldenc4002]

I cannot imagine the time you spent to make this. AWESOME WORK!

[@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.

[@williamstelmar9451]

15:20 that is not my tankceratops!!!!

[@bok3rnes425]

Graphical evolution, Detail evolution and Quality evolution. Great Comparison YoDo-DoDo ❤❤❤

[@waywardwriterryu7185]

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

[@lynell2B375]

man, the enemy design in ff7 is wild

[@lolololol7573]

I really love how they stayed true to almost all of it. That's impressive.

[@noctissama3146]

Amazing comparison

[@r3gret2079]

I'll never forgive them for what they did to Tankceratops... Edit: did I miss Test 0 or did YOU??? That is, sad. But he is locked to the battle sim so, a ton of people will surely miss it.

[@notsomoody5338]

For real that was my favorite thing to farm in the OG

[@Fall-oo6mt]

Only thing I disliked about it.

[@DSX001USER]

They removed the rare implanted animals but they add stylish straps and golden bracelets out of nowhere to a savage transformation of vincent...

[@bearwithsunglassesandicecr5856]

They could of made an excuse and said it was a shinra experiment but no they had to ruin the design and make it boring.. 😔

[@angelbloodshinra]

​@@bearwithsunglassesandicecr5856 I think they should have killed off abzu after remake, and had Corneo ride the heavy tank into the arena fight instead. He's all about keeping fucked up monsters as pets, remember hell house?

[@leonnogueira9338]

Amazing!❤

[@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

[@kurisu7885]

I remember back when the original was out, I would look at the art in the case and the manual and think "Wow, one day games will look that good" and now games look many many times better than even that.

[@nemesisundead83]

And to think there are over 300 different enemy models in the OG game

[@Luffy-ez3ef]

absolutely incredible

Any chance you would think about doing a enemy comparison for Spyro Reignited Trilogy compared to the original. Always been curious on the diferences.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Saw the same kind of video when Remake came out. Did FF7 have a model viewer on the PC re-release or is it a mod?

[@juansnowgaming]

I think it would be interesting if someone tried to line up the loveless play with Genesis’s quotes from crisis core

[@iam4026]

How did you get the OG models to display like that?

[@KillerMontage]

Can you list the names of the OST tracks used pls? :D

[@jonhon]

Tankceratops could have been a Sweeper mod, and probably will be.

[@PAXperMortem]

I wish the intel screen allowed us to play attack animations and switch between different forms for some of the bosses

I use to gripe about the change in art direction because I liked crisis core/Advent children look so much. But the new designs look great with the rest of the world design

did anyone talk about the fact that the final boss in the original (minus one-wings angel form) is the final boss in Rebirth, being the 2nd part of the trilogy?

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.)
