Let's take a moment to remember all the FF7 fans around the world who have passed away before getting the chance to play this ❤

[@Waas]

I was almost one of them back in 22. Glad I lived but so many brothers and sisters didn't. We gotta enjoy this game even harder for those we lost.

[@kaz-magicarts8597]

Well said on all accounts. 🔥

One of the most charming things about Maxs FF7 content, is that he doesn't do it like a game news guy, he is literally just a megafan!

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Yeah!!

[@DeliciousMorsels]

There's just something about Max's passion for FF7 that is just so infectious. Legitimately my favorite FF7 creator. I can't wait to see what this new era of Rebirth brings us

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Me too!!

Psssh, how bout 19 years? The 19 years we spent since the Final Fantasy 7 Technical Demo for PS3 was shown at E3 2005!! Imagine our surprise when we saw that, and imagine our continued disappointment as the years dwindled by with no word that Square would ever actually do it. The mad lads did, boys. The mad lads did it, eventually!

I'm turning 50 next month. This game is a big part of my life it got me through my darkest times. I just love this game and I'm just starting to play it rebirth. Thanks for this Max you're awesome.

[@idaliapina7457]

This is for all of our fallen ff7 fans that are no longer with us, including my big brother. I’ll be playing in his honor ❤ this game means everything to me!

[@jason3238]

God bless all the best

[@vandersonjunior8018]

I started this journey with Max like 3 weeks ago, because im new to his content in general. ive watched every single theory video or tangent he made about Remake and Rebirth and im happy to be here to watch him play Rebirth His joyfulness really captivated me Thank you for making me love Final Fantasy even more, Max!

[@kilkkiller]

Welcome aboard enjoy the ride in this trilogy

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Happy to have you on this journey with us!

[@samcarter565]

I was already a dad when ReMake released but seeing Max become a father and then seeing him get emotional during the hard hitting moments during his recent replay, it really brought it all home because I knew what he was experiencing and I knew those emotions of his were genuine.

[@luquaku]

Max’s excitement and joy is so infectious. It’s been a long journey to Rebirth and he’s been there with us every step of the way. So excited for this game, and THANK YOU MAX for sharing your own excitement and joy with all of us!!

[@lofihour2506]

The passion and love for ff7 resonates from you so much Max

[@hunte_11]

how the hell did you make me nostalgic and emotional over a game i have never played before

[@mypal1990]

I can't believe it's 4 years ago. Rebirth is gonna be amazing.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Yeah!!

[@olcia440]

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was the game that made me get to know Max and follow his streams on twitch and watch videos on KZbin. Thank you Max for this wonderful journey! I had so much fun everyday and I am happy to still continue it today with the second part of this game and in future expansions and games Max will play!!❤❤❤

[@HomeDefender30]

I found him when I was watching reactions to the original remake announcement. Ever since then I always go to Max for the emotional aspect of his ff7 content and blitzz for the technical aspect of his content… between those two you have all your bases covered.

[@olcia440]

@HomeDefender30 Same here! He made me love this game even more! He is such a full hearted guy! Truly a great guy and he deserves to be so followed and be so popular! He is just a good soul and I love his truthful and honest reactions🥰

[@iamthewalrus4998]

Same. His hype is so contagious. He elevated it to an unreal level

[@CKParker35]

Absolute same. I first learned of max when he was on the easy allies spoiler cast and this whole thing has been made infinitely better as a result. Max is the perfect representation of how I feel about this game and expresses it as well as I wish I could. What a treasure

[@olcia440]

@iamthewalrus4998 Yup his energy and excitement is contagious!🥰

[@mikev8746]

0:50 this moment just brings me back. I had forgotten the feeling of playing Remake for the first time. Realizing you're there in the slums again. The music hitting you and the visuals. Like being home again. And just the general excitement that you we're going to be on this journey once again. This was just the start. I remember discovering your FF7R theory crafting videos and podcast discussions with other content creators. It was super fun listening in on that speculation that 2020 summer. After that things kind of dissipated, atleast for me. But I always remembered Max for his excitement of the remake project. Later on when rumors swelled about FF7 Rebirths reveals in 2022 and 2023 I returned and started to follow the channel. It's been truly great to share in the passion and excitement. And I'm glad there's atleast a couple years left of excitement and anticipation for what could be revolving FF7 and this channel. Here's to many more fun times in the coming years!

[@KrisLee2113]

I may not be watching live as you play the game, because of course I want to experience this as fresh as possible on my own, but it has been so fun getting excited and watching your reactions/insight into what this game might be. I cannot wait, dude. We are so goddamn close

[@fuzzylogic752]

I see you as the greatest advocate for final fantasy 7.. there is so much love and reverence in your voice when you talk about it .. You reflect my feelings about this perfectly . Thank you mr dude !

[@James-rc1tw]

None of my friends were really ever in to final fantasy as a kid. A few were, mildly, but they didn't get excited about it like I did. As an adult, seeing the reveal of the remake i was taken back to that same level of excitement, but never really had anyone to share it with. It sort of put a damper on it for me. I didn't know of you back then. But I do now, and I know I don't actually know you, but, your untethered enthusiasm makes it feel like I have someone to share the excitement with. Thank you for that. I don't know if you ever think of the effect your content might have on people, but, I thought you should know.

[@phycokiller378]

Well said. I'm in the same boat and agree 100%

[@Thuase]

His excitement literslly brings tears to my eyes. I know that feeling.

[@AncientCityMusic]

Happy to have been apart of this journey. Favorite game of all time. Used to draw pictures of cloud and Barrett in 4th grade. Now I’m 34. Been a long time coming.

[@Nadeem146]

I'm 35 bro, this is the only game I am always attached to, I can't describe it to others my feelings for this game. I'm scared for when the 3rd installment is announced as that will be the beginning of the end, no more hopes no more dreams no more waiting as that's it's FF7 has ended 😢

[@AncientCityMusic]

@@Nadeem146 I’m with ya buddy. I stopped gaming back in 2013 and then when the announcement came in 2015 I picked it up again for the sole reason of playing this game. Brought me back into this world and I’m happy it did, gaming has evolved so much since the 90s and I’m glad I’m here for it

[@Chrisbunna22]

I cant wait to play this game. But even more than that, i cant wait to watch you playing this game!

[@willpoweramv]

I gotta say Max. Even though you're mostly a fighting game channel, your passion for FF7 as far as I've seen is unrivaled here on KZbin. Your reactions and theories to Remake as it was coming out convinced me to buy the game and I absolutely loved it! I don't have a PS5 yet so I have been eagerly awaiting your playthrough of Rebirth so I can follow the hype as it's happening. Keep doing what you're doing, bro! Can't wait to see how it all plays out this time. LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

My freaking thoughts exactly.

[@party_boy69]

Revisiting your FF7R videos is like opening a time capsule of emotions. Thank you Max for taking something you were passionate about and sharing it with the world. Your efforts have inspired many of us to get up everyday and chase love and happiness. Can't end this comment without also thanking the devs. Rebirth IS the greatest game I've ever played and that is entirely due to the passion and care that oozes out of it's final product. Know that if I could hug each and every staffer, I would!

[@TimeCircleBlue]

Man, I found this channel through the Cloud Smash Reveal way back when. As a consequence I was dragged into a rabbit hole of this game’s world and Characters. I can’t say I regret it tbh, a complaint will not be heard from me. So… Thank You, Max. It’s been a great ride so far, and I can’t wait for it to continue.

[@fearlesscheshirecat1411]

7:28 Wow…..I can’t believe it’s been over 2.5 years since the Rebirth reveal….. My god, the wait in between Remake and Rebirth was brutal. It felt like such a short distance from the reveal to the actual release. But a year and a half!? Damn.

[@garrykearns2316]

The fact max nails every prediction is crazy to me. Which makes me have the theory that creators of FF7 watch maxs theories and ideas and uses them.

[@maxspecs]

“Give the fans what they want”

[@jojo2767]

i think the developer knew Max already since he met them already. So maybe during his podcast where he mentioned the next game name, rebirth, they probably watched Max video and took it that time.

[@karthisplays]

Thank you for making me cry Max, I mean that. You are the example of what I think a KZbinr should be and I'm so glad you are in the position you are. There isn't anyone on the internet I've ever seen that I vibe with like you. From the bottom of my heart.. from a 14-year-old on christmas 1997 playing ff7 OG for the first time to a man at 40 years old now who feels like a kid again.. Thank you Max.

[@machodiglett2486]

There are absolutely no videos that bring me more joy than watching Max hype over anything Ff7

[@valven6058]

I'm very happy that my first experience with this remake trilogy has been with you Max, your enthusiasm and love for this series is just so infectious. While 7 has never been my favorite Final Fantasy title (that's a tie between 9 and 10), This game and its cast now holds a special place in my heart and it's because of you. Thank You.

[@KisekiFox]

You're the only guy I know who's ever been on the same wave length as me with FF VII and Remake, the things you love about it, the same exact reactions to reveals or moments in a first playthrough, I'm really grateful for that since I've always felt a lil alone in how I liked the game, it's really cool to see someone else feel nearly the exact same kinda emotions and passion I do for this stuff.

[@lukasjech9954]

I am so glad and excited that I've been here throughout the whole journey since the beginning and I am even more excited for the journey that's ahead of us.

[@sadhalcy]

Max, you'll never read this but from street fighter to tekken to final fantasy. You inspire me to be greater and to fight for what I want. Your story, your passion resonates within like an infection. Seeing you cry about how you told your wife about the story of FF7 and thinking..GOD IM A NERD and then sticking with it and seeing all your fantadies come true is so amazing to see. From going to the gym to be a better father for Ripley to the friendship you have with yovideogames you are genuinley the most loving creator on this platform and on twitch. You deserve the world and I hope us and the greatest twitch chat to ever exist has given you that because you are a Dood. From the assist me to the future, thankyou and shine on BROTHERRRRRRRR!

[@mavaro.oficial]

Im crying dude, i love your passion for this game Max. This is my chilldhood! So ready to watch you play this game.

[@jammin2575]

Sooo 2027?

[@dylanroyboy]

Max, I have to thank you again. You made me fall in love with this series. Even though I had never played it before. And it was strange to me because I had never had that happen before with just someone's words. I will be going dark tonight to then go looking in every inch of this world. And when I come out on the other side. You know the first playthrough I'm coming to. Thank you, Max.

[@InsightfulAU]

Thank you Max for the way you let your joy and passion for this world shine on. In February 2019, I got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer so I didn’t even know if I would get to see Remake much less where we are currently. Stumbled onto your stuff in the wake of Remake like everyone else trying to put things together. I already joke that these devs are working like they can reach back into 1997 and pull out exactly what my imagination was doing back then. Max’s joy is the same feeling. Keep it up dood.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Shine on my friend and remember that you are not alone!

[@MrBruh2023]

4:22 Roche and Max saying "Come On" at the same time always gets me

[@InitialDL84]

I literally just played and completed Remake a day ago; had the game in my backlog for about a year or so, first bought it on Steam then bought it again on PS5 and finally beat it on there. I still need to get through the Intermission DLC, but other than that my body is ready for Rebirth! The battle system/controls took a bit getting used to, but I got it down and had more fun with the game than I thought I would. Seeing everything in the game being revamped and re-realized with additions to new scenarios and characters made it that much more fun. Can't wait to play through Rebirth! Been amazing going on this journey with you Max!

[@romanhorizon]

It’s been a journey Max. And I couldn’t be more blessed to have experienced it with you and the community one step at a time. Thank you for bringing light to my favourite RPG. Thank you for being you. I can’t wait for the day when your daughter watches your playthrough and how much it impacted you and others. It’s just such an important memory and piece of fiction in our lives. Everyone should at least give it a chance. It’s not for everyone, but for us, it’s everything. *Keeping you Max, never change.*

[@Konic_and_Snuckles]

Wait, Max really predicted the name "Rebirth"? Dude. No way. I don't believe it. Forget Sephiroth: Max is the one manipulating whole timelines, and our feelings. He must be stopped.

[@thedarkknight2221]

It’s because of Max and his love of FF7 that I became such a massive fan myself. I don’t think I would’ve become as massive of a fan as I am without Max breaking down things in a way that both new and lifelong fans watch without feeling alienated. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Max!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@oxfordking]

Good stuff brotha - watching your FF7 Remake experience was THE reason I started my own content creation journey. Thank you for being You, MAX!

[@Nightm4r3z]

[@jesusgalactic7043]

I literally been watching the remake journey everyday

[@Vernnell]

To tell the truth, Max playing FF7 remake was the first time I watch anything related to Max, but it wasn't the game that attracted me to his content, it was his passion and love to the game he had an attachment to it. And from a game that I didn't know much about, I'm pretty much a fan of it now, playing the OG, watching Advent Children, seeing Max playing reunion, and him making so many reasonable theories of the game, just makes me love it even farther. Max will have the time of his life playing Rebirth and I cannot be more happy to join him on that journey too.

[@RodStrykez]

Job sent me out of town for work but I cannot WAIT to get back home tomorrow and play for 8-10 hours at least!! Such an incredible journey and thank you Max for all that you do to provide quality content whether it be here or on other platforms/channels! Hope you all enjoy it to the fullest! 😁😁😁

I never got to play Intergrade and I literally got my first PS5 a couple weeks ago, so I’m replaying through Remake and then Intergrade before I jump into Rebirth. I wish I could be there with everyone.

[@noahpauley]

Your theory videos and roundtables were what got me into your channel. I would always come back after new reveals to recontextualize your theories. Now I’m an avid viewer and a new fighting game fan. I can thank you for all that. Thank you Max for all your hard work and love for gaming!

I have seen all of the videos and watched a majority of your streams playing/talking about the franchise and I can't believe the Rebirth stream is finally here. SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BerserkKnight]

I gotta be careful when clicking on FF7 related video's with Max. Ever since he said Square has asked certain influencers about idea's regarding the story it's pretty obvious they took SOME of the Idea's he suggested. It's not all predictions, the man literally knows things because he's discussed some stuff with them. I don't want to be spoiled

[@Nadeem146]

You know what, as well watching Max's videos i equally enjoy reading comments and other fans stories. FF7 has and always have a place in my heart, duno what it is but i love evrything and every second of it. Glad my dad just randomly picked up a £50 game in 1997 and a half and handed it over to me, i didnt ask for it i didnt know what it was, i probably didnt deserve it, i didnt have a memeory card, the 1 hour game time i got each play sess i would just try to get past a little further than last time to see something new or read a new dialogue. The struggle was real for about 6 months until i got a memory card. My dad still to this day doesnt realise what he done for me back then, greatest game of all time.

[@nickparker9062]

Idk why watching his reactions bring tears to my eyes

[@CreateAmazment]

FF7 came out 3 years before I was born, so I never got to experience the original hype of the title and how groundbreaking it truly was. I watched my friend play it as a kid and I thought it was amazing, but I never truly understood how beloved this game was till 2015. Since then, being on this journey with all the original fans that played in back in 97, I feel like I'm experiencing a little bit of what it must've been like to be apart of it all during that time. from playing the original FF7 in 2016, to playing Remake in 2020, to now playing Rebirth tonight, I'm glad that I get join the many generations of fans and I'm happy we all get to enjoy this together

During the height of Covid, I found your FFVII remake videos, and have watched all of this content. I remember loving the game in the past, and then it faded as I went on to other things, and stopped playing games regularly. I remember the disappointment that it wasn't on PS3, and then when I heard about it, I was all in. I have loved playing it, and since then, FFVII R and FVII have come to the top as my favorite games. You're playthroughs have been wonderful to go through. I look forward to everyone you do. Thanks for everything you have done over the years. Cant wait to play the game tonight.

Tears in my eyes... It's not just the games themselves but the journey we share. Thank you Max for taking us on such a wild journey.

What a journey! The greatest thing about it is the intensitiy and the amount of different emotions Max has gone through and being able to understand and feel them too. I remember when I first played Remake, taking my time with it, sometimes I would stop playing and just looking at the screen listening to the it's soundtrack and feelling like I was in a dream. What a great feeling.

Final Fantasy VII is my favorite game of all time and your passion for it also has been highly infectious and appreciated. This game was life alterting for me and that you get it to the degree that you do has been refreshing to hear. Thanks for putting all this love of this game out there for people to experience.

I know each of these videos by heart, what a journey I can't wait for the next years of excitement and hype around FF7 with y'all

[@smaldor]

Very few content creators are able to illicit and emotion out of me because of theirs. Max's sheer joy and excitement and pure love for FF7 is so contagious. It has always been one of my favorite games as well so thank you Max! Let us all enjoy this incredible journey!

Getting so close now. Been watching for so many years and can't believe we're at part 2 now. What a journey we've all been on so far.

I don’t have a means to play these games so I live vicariously through Max’s playthroughs. I love his reactions and his theories. I cannot wait to watch and experience the other games with him.
