It’s here! I came into this game with high expectations and I am already seeing why it’s so loved. I’m looking forward to fully learning each character’s combat & their abilities! It feels very magical so far ❤️ Enjoy!

[@Skadi.-]

people always missed the part where shinra deliberately desreoy their own reactor and blame avalanche for it

[@jk844100]

It’s funny because a lot of OG ff7 fans complained about that scene saying they made it too obvious because in the original it’s a lot more implied rather than just straight up showing what Shinra did.

[@MisterAlerion]

@@jk844100 a lot of "events" in the original happen exclusively inside of text boxes so there's that

[@maxkrepps9474]

Me personally I missed that too. I think its because immediately after it happens, they show it affecting the main characters in the elevator, so you dismiss it. That’s my theory anyway. I only realized it after seeing a playthrough.

[@ulysh]

Tips to help you enjoy battles more: 1: Cloud is almost unkillable if you get used to his gameplay. Get close, switch to punisher mash square, dodge to cancel punisher mode & repeat. Cloud can parry any melee in game even on the final boss. Just hold R1 don't worry about timing, it's the easiest parry in the history of gaming lol. If you hold square while in punisher he will stab the ground & activate a "berserk buff" for more damage, then go back to mashing square to enjoy extra damage. Always reach the final hit in combos, they do the most damage with Cloud. 2: All humans are weak to fire. All machines are weak to lightning. Monsters vary between ice, fire, wind. 3: Blocking fills your atb gauge 4: Close combat characters, mash square with them. Long range characters, hold square. 5: Use shortcuts( L1 + Square....etc). You can reassign these. This makes the game seemless no more press x to use abilities. Most importantly enjoy the game!

[@SquiddySyddy]

Thank you so so much!! Definitely going to be mindful of this all the next time I play :)

[@RAGEAlanBun]

Couple of useful tips that really help in a lot of fights. 1. I know this is one of the first things the game tells you but it’s so important to constantly use ATB gauges so they don’t sit full. Your basic attacks do by far the least damage, so getting used to swapping characters and using ATB is the way to go. 2. Cloud has a counter against physical attacks when he’s in punisher mode and he blocks. It’s exceptionally useful as he doesn’t take damage, creates a window to attack and often leaves the enemy pressured. It doesn’t work against ranged attacks or magic, but the Sweepers, or human enemies with Swords are amazing to use this on and is perfect for a couple of boss battles. 3. The “focused” moves are best used as soon as you see “pressured” appear on the gauge under the enemies health. Focused Thrust and Focused Shot are the moves but another character you’ve not met yet has one too. 4. You can bind up to 4 moves as shortcuts and access them with L1 or R1 (depending on which one you set for block). It’s really handy to have a few common abilities like the focus ones or the stronger ones readily available so you can access them as soon as you need them. Finally there’s a few control options that are useful to change. A lot of people prefer to pull the camera distance back so you can see more, and you can choose how lock on and changing targets works to suit you.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Thank you so much! I’m getting confused about this punisher mode block I was trying to see it today while playing 😂 My timing is either poor or I’m just not noticing it lol - working on it. I might pull the camera view back a bit yeah! Wasn’t sure if I could. Right where I pick up after this video on the train I was like hmm this is really close 😂 I appreciate the tips and will be looking back on them as I play :)

[@RAGEAlanBun]

@@SquiddySyddy no prob! With the Punisher mode block, you shouldn’t need to worry about timing. If you press triangle to go into Punisher mode, you can just hold block as long as you want and whenever an enemy hits you Cloud will automatically counter as long as you’re holding block when the attack happens; you don’t necessarily need to block as the attack happens. I won’t spoil anything but the boss of chapter 4 it’s extremely useful to use this as it dodged a lot of attacks so it’s best to wait for an attack then counter. It’s worth practising the punisher counter in chapter 3 when you get a few side quests to do. Hope you enjoy!

[@sya2711]

@@SquiddySyddy i personally instantly changed the key binding to L1 + square/ triangle/ circle/x for the abilities. and R1 to block. bumpers to change characters which automatically activates the `selecting` the abillties ( slow time moment).

[@JLind854]

Hope you enjoy this game! Rebirth is easily my most anticipated game this year! Easy combat advice, remember to use and try magic. Fire on the dogs and lightning on machines would’ve made those fights way easier on you, plus in clouds punisher mode when you block you auto counter any melee attacks which helps on those annoying shock troopers

[@SquiddySyddy]

Thank you so much! I barely have looked at magic yeah - I did use it a bit fighting the enemies in town towards the end that just got trimmed out due to copyright issues unfortunately but I absolutely have a LONG ways to go in understanding everything 🤣💛 Thanks again!

[@RatedR2O]

Enjoy the journey!! It's a great story and the sequel "Rebirth" will be much larger in scale!! One word of advice. Work on filling up the enemy's stagger meter. Once they're staggered, unleash you strong attacks to deal massive damage points. Keep your eye on the ATB meter, and use them often.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Thank you!! 😊 I’m super excited, and I appreciate the tips ❤️

[@sya2711]

@@SquiddySyddy attacks with `focused` in their names , fill up the stagger gauge/bar faster. so in cloud`s case spamming focused thrust is good , then once the enemies are staggered, you can use braver, for max dmg. however , some enemies are vulnerable to spells ( magic) so knowing their weaknesses you cna just use the according element to fill up stagger gauge aswell as deal alot of dmg using those.

[@Rellj16]

Just for the record, the damage in the city is NOT all the characters faults. They set a controlled explosion to only blow up the reactor. But, the Shinra boss made a BIGGER explosion, damaging the entire sector and destroying the buildings and structure, blaming our team.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Yess thank you! I’m glad someone pointed this out before I had played again cause that went over my head haha. Appreciate the note ❤️

The og came out September 7th 1997 in North America so its been a long time coming. Me and my friend got lucky and were able to play it a week early because his father was the manager of a Circuit City and got us each a copy. I was 17. One of my best memories ever😊 You should play the og. You'll have a much better understanding of what has been changed and what is still familiar.

[@Casper745]

Final Fantasy Remake is very well produced and creative especially when you're looking at how much work went into the game

[@hotyaznboi]

I got confused by locking on at first too. Once you have locked on, any press of the right stick will switch targets. So you cannot move the camera if you want to use the lock on feature. After a while I grew to like it since i didn't have to worry about aiming my camera after I locked on. But you don't have to use it if you don't like it, lol. My piece of advice is to remember that dodging does NOT grant invincibility in this game. You should block some attacks that cannot be easily dodged. You can't just mash dodge like you can in some other games to beat every attack.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Makes sense! I definitely need to get better at blocking in this game, I think I’m struggling with that the most right now 😂 & yess I have beef with locking on haha I think once I get in the groove of switching between targets I will appreciate it too. Thank you!

[@TheRealAhoy]

Subbed. I've not played 16, so I can't really comment on how I feel about it, I've heard differing reviews, but I'm guessing if you're playing 7 you must have had a good time! Ff6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 is the golden sequence (at least for me), these games are just full of heart, spirituality, soul, all to Nobuo Uematsu's amazing music composition. 7 is definitely the most loved, it was my first one too so I am definitely clouded (pun unintended but we'll roll with it) with nostalgia. It gives me the same feeling that Star wars does, but even better. They really created a world and I was so excited that Remake had all the same heart and soul of the concept, which you'll see for yourself first time. I've not played 16 but I'm going to venture this one will definitely make you go "wow" for sure.

[@SquiddySyddy]

😂😂 I loved the pun lol. Thank you so much for the comments and sub! I don’t know anything about 6, 8, 9 or 10 - but if they’re all in the same realm I could understand the hype! 16 was very different, I wanted to play it simply because it gave me Elden Ring vibes lol 😭 I did really enjoy it but to long time fans I could see how it didn’t have the same magic and soul. It was very emotional, but the characters I feel are more like able in 7 already :)

[@TheRealAhoy]

​​@@SquiddySyddyThank you, I'm secretly great at puns. 7 is the most known, but they're all epic and if you like this one you'll probably be tempted for some of them. Yeah 16 is definitely a different vibe, one day I'll sit down to it. Every FF has its own world and characters and even gameplay, it's a really great franchise and you can start anywhere and it's fine. Glad you're enjoying it, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be amazed at stuff like scenery. They did this remake so right no matter how naysayers like to make out otherwise.

[@Grace-cs5sk]

One tip that i will give you for any final fantasy game is to look around and keep your eyes open for chest cause there are some you might miss one example is when you walk up the stairs if you look behind the balcony there is a chest I'm not sure if people know that you can get to it but you can

[@lambo2655]

I played FF16 and I loved it, got the platinum but the combat is quite different from FF7 Remake/Rebirth. I prefer to have a combat team you can switch between in a fight. In 16 you only controlled Clive with limited command options for his wolf companion. All the other companions that joined Clive was controlled by the AI. I never played the OG for FF7. I really enjoyed Remake & I'm in the middle of Rebirth which they took to a whole other level of enjoyment.

[@YuGo_Wolverino]

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've watched a reaction of someone playing FF7R and not knowing who Sephiroth is. 😅 I always wanted to see what this scene would be like for someone who never played the original FF7 or who never even watched Advent Children before. Interesting... This scene really only makes any sense to those who played the original FF7, since this meeting between Cloud and Sephiroth in Midgar never happens originally. The good thing about never having played the original version is not knowing what will happen in the Remake. This goes for Rebirth, which will probably be the most impactful.

[@ThisHouseIsRed]

I just found your channel and I'm excited to follow you on your adventures. I've been playing Final Fantasy (even the MMO's) since Final Fantasy II (which is actually Final Fantasy IV) waaaay back in 1991 on the SNES (I'm old), and to be completely honest...the original 7 just didn't do anything for me. I don't know what it was, but I wasn't a fan and list it pretty low on my personal ranking list. Not that it's a bad game, it's an amazing game that pushed the genre and laied a lot of the foundations for rpgs we have today, I just didn't like it. All that to say, Remake hit all the right buttons for me and quickly shot up my list of favorite Final Fantasies, and I'm very impatiently waiting for Rebirth. All Final Fantasy games have had a touch of sci-fi, but 7 really pushed the series into that modern fantasy/science-fantasy asthetic that carried through 8, 13, and 15. 1-4 and 9 were pure fantasy with a touch of sci-fi elements where 6 and 12 could be considered magitek-punk, fantasy settings where technology is ran on magic (a concept that carries through the series starting with 6). 16 was a return to a pure fantasy setting that a lot of fans had been missing. As much as I loved 16, and it's in my top 5 FF games, I wish they would have carried over and refined the combat system of this game. 7 Remake was the perfect combo of the ATB system (which had been a staple of the franchise since 4) and action combat. I also hated I couldn't switch between Clive and Jill or Cid like you can here. I know the combat takes a bit getting used to, espically since you're coming from 16, but it'll become second nature before you know it. Anyway, that's enough of my rambling. Instant sub from me, and looking forward to more. EDIT: Now that I've finished this first video, I hope you don't mind some tips. I don't know how far ahead you are in your recordings so you may have already figured all of this out. - 16 downplayed magic so much it might as well have not existed. In 7R, on the other hand, magic will save your life. Cure will heal substantially more than using a potion, and every enemy has an elemental weakness that one of your spells can exploit. For instance, machines are weak to Thunder magic, humans weak to Fire and so on. Play around and you'll figure it out. Just keep an eye on your MP and have some ethiers handy. - When cloud blocks a physical attack in Punisher mode, you can do a counterattck that will leave your enemy open. - Holding down Cloud's main attack will attack multiple enemies. If you tap it he'll concentrate on a single target. - Each character has thier own playstyle. I often found myself favoring other characters over Cloud. - In the same vein, don't worry about switching too much from one chracter to the next. The ones you aren't currently controlling can take care of themselves, though they'll prioritize defence over offence, and thier ATB gage won't fill as quickly. But a lot of combats will have you switching back and forth. - Certain materia can synergize with others, play around and find some combinations that work for you. - Materia also gains it's own XP as you level, and improves over time.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Wow! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! Thank you for the sub as well ❤️ That’s so awesome that you found love for 7 with the remake.

@@SquiddySyddy oh yeah I beat Kupka not too long ago and took his Titan earth powers for myself and right now I'm exploring and fighting bad guys with Clives Uncle Byron 🙌

[@SquiddySyddy]

@@roderick8167 Nice!! Kupka is such a fun character haha ugh love that game ✨

[@roderick8167]

@@SquiddySyddy hell yeah, NGL watching your playthrough of FF7 really makes me wish I could play this game but I'm already playing FF16 and I was planning to play Baulders Gate 3 next but then I remembered Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League is coming next month too and I wanna play the hell out of that so I definitely don't have time for this game 😂😭

[@SquiddySyddy]

@@roderick8167 😂😂 Definitely play Baulders Gate if it interests you! I would see what the hype is about but it’s just not my kinda game 🙆🏻‍♀️ I’ve been told it’s a great intro to that style for newbies though, so maybe one day!

[@TylerIsaMetaphor]

best intro was probably 4 but have fun!!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

Change graphics settings to 'Performance' instead of 'resolution'

[@tablon6948]

Hi, great playthrough so far, but if you're interested i'd recommend playing the original after this one, since the story differs a lot and it's actually for a reason that matters so you wouldnt be playing the same game twice!!

[@SquiddySyddy]

Interesting! I had no idea they were different, just thought the Remake was expanded :)

[@zacatkinson3926]

each entry is different, VII remake is kind of a sequel, the ending might not make sense, You may need to play FF7 Crisis Core before FF7 Rebirth

[@TremorWatt]

Wait... You've played FF16 so you clearly have a PS5 and you specifically put "Intergrade" in the title... but this is very clearly the PS4 version of Remake... Um...? Edit: Alright, I see now that you played the PS5 version from EP 2 onward. Thank goodness.

[@SquiddySyddy]

😂😂 it's funny because you're the first person to say something about this - thank goodness I realized right after ep 1 🙃

Final Fantasy is a complicated series. Each game is different from the last, and each game has a different setting and characters. FF16 takes place in a medieval European setting, which is what the series was originally built on. It wasn't until FF 6, 7, and 8, where they started to experiment with steampunk and futuristic settings. That's why this game feels so different from FF16.

[@SquiddySyddy]

Interesting! It’s funny because this game resembles in my head what I always thought Final Fantasy would be, and in comparison 16 is lacking a lot of - but I wasn’t aware 16 is similar to how FF originally began.

Your way of speaking/tone of voice, your laugh and your "style" resemble that of a brunette youtuber. Do you have a sister like that? I found this curious.

[@SquiddySyddy]

I am actually an only child! haha ❤️

This game is a fantastic pallet cleanser from 16 Final fantasyXVI was visually stunning and, that’s it. I don’t think the concept of actual people embodying. The usual summons was a very interesting plot twist after the Phoenix. I mean before this game I didn’t even think that the Phoenix was a summon and I still don’t know if it is I thought maybe it had something to do with Phoenix Downs becoming a regular thing in the franchise, because I’m pretty sure those are not a thing in this game. I mean they are in THIS game, but not FF 16. Phoenix Downs are regular items in Final Fantasy

[@SquiddySyddy]

Interesting! Yes I can agree it’s nice playing this after 16 being my first because I’m really seeing how different they are haha. Feels like they’re meant for two different audiences.

Thank you so much! Welcome in - and I have heard of telltale but am not fully aware, I will look into them more forsure!

[@darkcobra1418]

I can’t decide whether or not to play the og before this because I don’t know much about the story or characters of FF7 and I want to learn, but I’m not the biggest fan of turn based games. 😩

[@SquiddySyddy]

I’ve never played a turn based game before I believe! I didn’t realize the original was slightly different, so if you want to fully invest in the world I know people suggest it! ❤️

Why do you cut out content? It's unfortunate.

[@SquiddySyddy]

I had to trim the combat in Chapter 2 simply due to many copyright issues that I couldn’t work around. The music was extremely loud so there’s no where to hide haha. I have turned down the music a tad in hopes I won’t have the same issue going forward ❤️
