To answer your question, yes all of those locations are in the original game. The world and its locations are remarkably faithful to the original, albeit expanded in size and detail.

[@RlVlN]

And mini games!

[@whodatninja439]

all these minigames but no snow boarding. hope it's in part 3

[@garywood97]

@@whodatninja439 They've already said it will be in part 3. The first time you do snowboarding in the original game is when you get to the snowy region near the Northern crater, so they obviously don't want to spoil that part ahead of time.

This looks like so much content vs over games we get nowdays at the same price! Amazing!

[@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc]

Ah sigh... Brings back memories. FFVII was the 2 or 3rd video game I ever bought. It was so emotionally charged. I see Kitase hasn't lost his touch. Yes all that stuff was in the original but it wasn't as big or detailed.

[@Koustav_04]

This game looks absolutely insane. I'm not completely on board with the story changes, but I don't hate it either (yet) Definitely a frontrunner for GOTY along with Black Myth Wukong and Dragon's Dogma 2. PS5 basically bullied Xbox out of the console market. 😅 It's both sad and funny.

[@garywood97]

Everything we've seen of this game suggests that it's 90% the same as the original, just like with Remake.

[@joeandrew8752]

From the sounds of it it seems Xbox is moving slowly away from concoles. Tbh their exclusives have just me massive missies and even the studios they have gotten recently have had very mismanaged IPs. Hope they turn things around and keep the competition going to not make Sony make poor decisions

[@violentpursuit]

As someone who generally liked Remake all the way through until the trainwreck story-wise at the end, I can't help but be hyped for this game. So many locations and characters that (so far) are so faithfully recreated. Nostalgia is at a 10. And the MUSIC. One of the standouts of Remake looks to be continued in this game

[@davidcortez1214]

These locations were in the original, just not as big as they are now.

[@Naption]

[@jonasking9587]

I am very glad for fans of VII. I'm more of a IX guy. And VI. And Tactics. But I mean it. I can't think of many games I'd lose my mind about getting a remake like this. I'm glad the fans get to have fun.

[@oukeith]

Luke you need to play the OG it is low key one of the best games of all time.

[@whodatninja439]

one of my favorite games. im not gonna bother with the remake until it's complete. though it's more a reboot than a remake, it's already completely different.

[@tornado7205]

See this is what I’m talking about. When I look at open world games, I always pause the video and look in the distance for anything that looks interesting. After all, that’s what we all do IN GAME. When I watched StarFields trailer, there was nothing interesting. Just flat bare empty rock or at most some trees. In this trailer, there is so many things. All the mini games look amazing. Story sounds great. Combat was already fantastic and just got upgraded. I’m so hyped for this!

[@qadi796]

Just seems to me they really enjoyed making the game and actually give a shit about it and what the fans wanted. Meanwhile, people that defend starfield telling others that it gets better after 25 hours😂😂

[@schools6555]

Damn was it good to finally be playing this game even if it is just a Demo! Twenty more days, let's go!!

[@senpie2865]

is that cissnei?? from crisis core?

[@garywood97]

Yes.

[@rafaspyra9776]

I AM equally confused and happy to see her in the timeline

[@philiphall6351]

@rafaspyra9776 It's a great move as its from a game that came after FF7 OG and only related to zack but knew who Cloud is too. Given he was a mako vegetable, she will ask more info about Zack. So it will be even more of a brain haemorrhage for him and I'm all for it!!!

Hey Luke, i actually have an officially licensed Gwent set. I think it was from like a limited promotion that run a few years ago. Its pretty nice actually. Wasnt nearly as expensive as the one on Etsy

The Rebirth demo is awesome. I'm definitely pumped for this game!

Wait, does "*Not available on other formats until at least 05.29.2024." Mean F.F.7.R. is coming to PC 3 months after release?

i wonder when part 3 comes out they'll combine the games into 1 like what happened with the hitman trilogy

[@TakeARideWithMe]

[@atomictoasteryo1109]

I got the first one for 15 probably because they want people to play it in prep for this I’m guessing. Once I’m done with 16 I’ll check this out for sure! Hyped!

[@Chief2Inky]

I've never played a final fantasy game. Would It be ok to play this completely new to the series?

[@MrCaiops]

Yes, its fine. If you want, the Twin Package on PSN gives you both Rebirth and Remake for the same price (70 dollars). Every Final Fantasy is standalone

[@NYATLChris]

Buy the twin pack. You get remake and Rebirth for the price of one. I strongly recommend to play remake before rebirth.

[@lasthopelost9090]

It’s not a bad spot but I would suggest playing crisis core as well

[@garywood97]

Start with Remake, or you'll be fairly confused.

[@RlVlN]

Remake was my intro into FF so yeah. They’re moving away from the turn-based combat of the original games so this, 15, and 16. Are good intros into the series. I didn’t like 15 that much tho

[@CraftyMiscreant]

When I was a kid, my dad said I can get a new ps1 game so long as I 1. Beat my old game 2. Get good grades. Well it was time for a new game, so my mom took me to wal mart. And thats when i saw ff7 in that thick, white case. 3 discs?? Holy shit. What IS this game? Why the big sword?? It was ff7 or gran tourismo 2. Well, the wal mart attendant, some 18 year old teenager with scruffy hair and pepporoni pizza for acni, was gushing about 7. This young man convinced me to get 7. So I got it. If not for him, I probably wouldnt be on this channel.

[@bob_ohms2low75]

Final fantasy 7, & 9 are 2 of the greatest games ever made. 9 was my favorite, but 7 was a blast. You should really go back & play the originals. Hell, even play 8. That was pretty good as well, but 7 & 9 are once in a lifetime games. Remake was good, but they took the game in a completely different direction than the original, in terms of game play.

[@violentpursuit]

A little thing that gave me hope was the line "PAY TRIBUTE to Zack by visiting his hometown." Hoping that Zack scenes are a memory, not an alternate timeline that makes no sense in the story

[@SuperHeroGod]

Why do Japanese character designs look so much better than American ones does anyone know? 🤔

Love everything I am seeing except the Ubisoft research towers…i thought as a gaming community we were starting to move past the whole “interact with 30 towers to reveal the full map”

[@Koustav_04]

In part 3 you'll get access to airship and submarine. Rebirth had to do ubisoft towers because you can't roam around the world by flying yet.

[@bmack8131993]

The towers give info for a variety of different points of interest in the area and they also are a hub for Charley who gives you a ton of new materia and access to gameplay systems. The new materia we get at each tower is worth it tbh lol.

[@bmack8131993]

*Chadley

[@redhexon1614]

The towers does not reveal the map the purpose of towers is so that you can get point of interest location where you can get hunts, side missions or any other side contents related to chadley that will help you get stronger for some cases summons.

[@thelegandgamer2830]

Elden ring uses some kind of towers to reveal the full map but it didn't bother anyone why would it here

[@flyingparkinglot1530]

I mean the devs WOULD have known if you remade any FF, 7 would be the most toxic of the 13 ones because of Aerith dying and people shipping her with Cloud…when if you actually payed attention, Zack was her first love. It’s like shippers just live in another dimension than everyone else man… This is worst than Naruto and Bleach ships I tell ya what. MFs get married, have kids and still deny the facts 🤣 When that Masumune pierces her rib cage in 4K, those shippers better be quiet 😏

Beneath a Steel Sky on the Amiga came on 15 floppies, 2 discs is not a flex. Also I played the original (came out in my teenage years) and just can't get into these "remake/demake/mutated" versions.

Stop looking for realism in fantasy games. From lord of the rings to Elden Ring, in every fantasy story the characters speak in an unrealistic manner. You just get used to it after 15-20 minutes (unless you go in already decided that you want to hate it)

[@jaceunknown]

weirdly enough, FF7's en dub is actually good. its almost like playing two different games, they have similar personalities from en and jp dub, but the execution/the way they present it, makes it seem like different people. id rather appreciate the effort and passion they put out, then bring them down, cuz that helps nobody
