Helping and fighting Rude & Reno Boss Fight - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

[@normal896]

U know its sad to me to see my Boy reno got that less of a screen time even Knowing the JP voice actor of his dies , but the final record of his is to small, its really unfortunate.

[@marcuscanning3843]

This is all archived VO from avent children too apparently - Keiji Fujiwara passed in 2020 - they decided not to recast him and use what they had and adjust the story.

[@EvenstarTV]

Nomura confirmed that Reno will have bigger role in part 3 and will recast the JP VA, the reason his role was short on Rebirth, was out of respect of Keiji Fujiwara, but also they had no time to recast and find someone to match Reno's unique tone in such short time frame, that's why they used archived lines from Remake/Advent Children/Crisis Core.

[@soccer0989]

Reno's music hitting as the fight began was top tier FF

[@RandomGuy52-hl7eu]

An underrated detail I missed during this section, in 0:46 Rude actually comes through and uses a remedy/maiden's kiss on Cloud when he's been turned into a frog, proving that the Turks aren't horrible people.

[@SpoiltLittlePrincess]

I'd say objectively they're pretty horrible considering the job they've chosen and such. But they aren't entirely heartless or ruthless. It's kind of funny really when they fixed him up but Rude's frustrated they can't kick him off the edge! But maybe that's more to do with Tifa. :)

[@vegitoda4738]

Idk Elena seemed pretty unapologetic in her attempts to kill us. I'm not gonna lie I was cheering when Cloud almost killed her.

[@ashemabahumat4173]

The man may have a gun for a hand, but the other one hit hard as _fuck_ lol

[@soralight_x]

I was surprised about that as well. Rude may be stronger but Barret has a much bigger & stronger desire to win than than he did. I don't think he would had that fist clash otherwise or beat him on a regular head on fight otherwise.

[@ashemabahumat4173]

@@soralight_x honestly, I think he's just not limber enough. Dude packs way more heat than Rude: in both senses, but Rude knows how to control it and aim his blows accordingly. Barret lumbers around due to his physique and can't dodge roll effectively, _But,_ he's still a beefy motherfucker that would win in an exchange of blows. I feel like the gun arm doesnt help with his body control/orientation all too much, too

[@npquanh30402]

Barret is strong physically but he does not have the knowledge of martial arts or the flexible of a slender body.

[@Voldrim359]

We are talking about beefy coal miner. Barret is not a physical fighter (it can be in the remake with the claw and the demolition ball), but that doesn't mean he is not strong to pack a decent punch. I think we shouldn't underestimate his strength

[@Levelent01]

I mean Barrett has gotta be like 6'5ish and 300Lbs of muscle. Dude is an absolute unit

[@ashleysanders5913]

RIP Keiji Fujiwara.

Yeah, cancer's a bitch.

[@marcuscanning3843]

I'm glad they kept these voice lines in instead or recasting him. These are all archived VO from advent children apparently. In the third game they may have to get a new VO but it was nice to pay respect to him one last time.

[@dinorex3464]

@marcuscanning3843 Yeah, Nomura confirmed there will be a recast in Part 3, and that the reason a new voice actor wasn't chosen here already was out of respect. After all, he had been working with Keiji Fujiwara for almost 20 years (considering he even voiced Axel/Lea in the KH series) and stated multiple times that he viewed him as a good friend.

[@RealCFZ]

8:14 This part is my favorite of this chapter.

[@backdoorwolf666]

"This is for Sector 7!" - Man, I feel like I waited 27 years for that moment.

[@mirandalawson2990]

2:10 was probably the happiest Rude's been in his whole life for a couple seconds

[@jolinaancheta1646]

😂😂😭😭😭

[@RealCFZ]

*IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ME! NOT HIM! IT’S NOT FAIR!* 😭

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Tifa is not the only crush or relationship he has had with and Avalanche member. He was with Chelsea in Before Crisis

[@GuerreiroAventureiro]

The closest thing we get the turks as guest party member while cid and vincent are just sitting in the sides. Even in Ever Crisis they trolled us.

[@DrCoomer_1]

Part 3 is going to have them probably lol

[@anarrivingwingedhussar9692]

Dude I popped so hard when Reno’s track hit! Just sucks he only gets one fight in this game, hopefully he shows up at least once more in Part 3 for a big boss fight

[@frankiefiied]

I seen somewhere that they said he’s gonna have a bigger role in part 3!

[@anarrivingwingedhussar9692]

@@frankiefiied I hope so. So far they have the best boss fights in both Remake and Rebirth too now lol

[@alimichalkan8046]

@@frankiefiiedYes square confirmed his role in part 3 will definitely be bigger after the Jap VA is replaced.

[@JOHNQ91]

Looking forward to Tseng healing up and all four Turks in a boss battle in Midgar for part 3.

[@Jesper889ify]

@@JOHNQ91I wonder if he will. He might still be criticul injured from Sephiroth

He was def bricked up during the fight

[@akekesiyeti4525]

He sure is, he has a crush on Tifa

he wants her bald

@@zaqareemalcolm she probably is. Just not on her head.

[@PlaystationGamerZX]

Yep, only og ff7 gamer know why 😂 maybe ever crisis phone game will show new player why Rude help Tifa 😂

[@dinorex3464]

The choreography of this fight is probably the best choreography I have ever seen in a videogame.

[@FazFaz]

Dont think I've seen anyone point it out. I loved the cutscene here!!

[@50kekk]

1:42 lmao reno ships those two

[@cantufekci23]

Cloud: “shut up!”

[@alimichalkan8046]

Reno giving his blessings to the future couple.😂

[@marca4585]

Lmao Cloud’s shut up was the first jealous vibe I ever felt from him

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Rude needs to remember Chelsea

[@vegitoda4738]

​@@marca4585Bro...he literally threatened Johnny and was being an ahole to the store clerk in the first game for flirting with Tifa.

[@jacoblesperance2208]

Nobody talking about the OG ff style battle theme baseline slapping in this song?

[@Raul_27]

I hope Reno is playable in the final game. It would be a dream come true.

[@The-O-N]

Doubt it

[@avradio0b]

Probably not full-time, but I wonder if he and Rude would become temporary party members for that one fight in Wutai from the OG. If they pad that out as well, they might stick around for a bit

[@antonironstag5085]

@@avradio0b Cloud, Reno and Rude vs Corneo to rescue Elena and Yuffie? It definitely better be! We got playable Sephiroth in Part 2 so playable Turks isn't too farfetched

[@SeventhheavenDK]

It won't happen.

[@SeventhheavenDK]

​@@antonironstag5085. Sephiroth has always been playable for that part since the original. There is no comparison.

When Rude clotheslined the frog 😂

[@7spider391]

I hope in the next game the turks team up with avalanche more

[@strayznake1131]

Am i the only one struggling really hard with late game bosses? I'm having such a harder time than i did with remake, even on hard mode

[@RulerOfYore]

They’ve upped the difficulty for sure.

[@strayznake1131]

@RulerOfYore yeah you're not kidding. Absolutely love the game. Dunno if the platinum is for me with those brutal and legendary fights though

[@DlCKWALLACE]

What do you mean "even on hard mode"? Of course it's hard on hard mode. For I say it's hard, even on normal mode.

[@strayznake1131]

@dickwallace8567 no I meant as in i was struggling more on normal mode at the end of rebirth than I did on hard mode in remake

[@DlCKWALLACE]

@@strayznake1131 oh my mistake. but yea, me too. I just made it to this fight and I rage quit and had to take a break.

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Reno is fighting Cloud and Tifa all alone

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Cloud was just Marinated in mako for 4-5 years he was never a Soldier let alone a 1st class one. But he is Mako enhanced to the extreme. So yeah Reno extra impressive ​@@KoriDess

[@XcuzeTheMessDeer]

Cloud put a sword through Sephiroth the first time without being ehanced. Cloud was injected not with Jenova cells but Sephirothb cells directly than marinated in Mako for 4 years .I agree he may not have training but the strength, speed and durability. Thats what makes Reno going toe to toe with him and Tifa at the same time so impressive. ​@@KoriDess

[@Oddfosshaugbagi]

Dident Reno get his ass kicked the first time like he couldent stand, not to mention what happend in AC

[@cherrysanguine1995]

i know my homies are here for 8:32

[@Bahamut998]

I love that Tifa isn't just some girl. She's basically Cloud's equal (if not more) and can handle Rude one on one in terms of pure martial arts. I would have hated if they just made her some cheap fan service that you have to rescue all the time.

[@hotcoldman77]

How many times do you fight these guys. Was so sick of them by this point smh

[@dinorex3464]

In the original, these are pretty much the last big fights against them. They become side characters after these and even help the party in a couple of occasions due to Sephiroth being a bigger threat.
