MAX REACTS: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Gameplay

Being able to vicariously play FF7 so passionately through someone who is so infatuated with the game is truly special. Max's FF7 playthroughs are some of the best pieces of content ever produced by him solely because of his knowledge and love for the games. Whenever im sick or sad ill go watch anything FF7 related and feel so elated that someone can be so happy and love the game, himself, and the community around it so much.

[@free2928]

I wonder if Sephiroth was talking about Tifa like the trailer shows, or if he was talking about Aerith? I love that the fact that this whole new Remake series being a sequel is something that Sephiroth, Aerith, and Cloud may finally start talking about normally. Also Max was spot on about which character would know what's going on lol. Edit: I see now, Sephiroth was taking about Tifa based on the Japanese trailer. Thanks for informing me guys! Hopefully this clears up any confusion for others too.

[@maxspecs]

If you were a Jenova clone, would you even be aware of it?

[@CamOfSpam]

Considering the Japanese version of the trailer during that section has Sephiroth straight up say that he killed Tifa, I'd say the former.

[@dellapj]

My interpretation is that, because Tifa is going to be vocalizing her doubts in Cloud’s story earlier, Sephiroth will be intrusively making Cloud distrustful of Tifa, giving the “true” story of what happened in Nibelheim a he said/she said quality. It preserves the tension of what really happened for new players, gives Tifa permission to be smart, and gives Cloud a believable reason to not be listening to Tifa if she challenges his recollection. He doesn’t know why she’s not dead, she doesn’t know why he knows all this.

My favorite thing is that Max has built his entire career around the FGC and fighting games, built one of the best fighting game channels on youtube and twitch, the best Street Fighter possibly *ever* just came out, and the happiest I've ever seen Max is when watching a trailer for an RPG. His infectious hype got me to bite on FF7R and I didn't regret a second of it.

[@drummermg131]

I'm pretty sure I found Max through his FF7-related content, and I love coming to see his reactions to everything new coming out about this Remake trilogy. That said, his fighting game content is equally fantastic, so whenever I (someone who isn't particularly into fighting games) decide to dabble in one, I come to his channel to watch him discuss the game and see if I can pick up any tricks to improve my skills.

Max is such a great content creator. Even though I found him through game reveal reactions, it was his personality that made me stay and watch him play games.

[@edward9773]

​@Yunsha is this your first time watching his videos? Imagine thinking Max doesn't know about FF7. The "what is happening " isn't confusion, it's excitement similar to "I can't believe I'm watching this". Plus Remake/rebirth isn't 1 to 1 so no one really knows what is going to happen. It's a different time line from OG FF7. This has been covered quite a bit already.

In the combat cut outside Junon where they are showing off RED XIII's combat, the party consists of Cloud, Barret, and Red. If you pause, you can see Tifa sitting outside the battle about 20 yards, so I'm expecting party swaps now too, while in mid battle like FF10.

Yuffie's reaction to Sephiroth appearing in that violet hue implies that Sephiroth's new powers are related to Stagnant Mako. That is why Yuffie freaked out so much. Yuffie recognized the violet energy as the same Stagnant spirit energy that Nero used. So it looks like Sephiroth has learned how to ustilize the Stagnant Lifestream, which is made of sould that have refused to become part of the normal flow of the Lifestream.

[@ChubbyHolic]

I think that part is actually where Yuffie steals the material from Cloud 🤫

[@3g7777]

@@RicochetForce It also gives a great goal for Zack on top of it for his story, to find Cloud, maybe even as a final boss for him?

[@TheTerribleToph]

I think it's also tied to the beginning of the trailer. They all died in Zacks timeline cause Cloud wasn't there, notice how they didn't show Clouds body being hauled away. My thought is Zack lived and Cloud never got better in that timeline and eventually left for the reunion forcing Zack to search for him so Avalance never had Cloud or Zack join them and they ended up dieing because of the singularity at the end of remake.

[@1stclassdork578]

Its kind of a given, its also possible that the explosion of the Whispers didnt just split the timeline but pushed Zack and Cloud from that branch foward in time given that A. Zack doesnt find Aerith in the church and people are taking refuge as if after a incident. B. The news info at the start of the trailer doesnt have Cloud in it. Maybe the trailer cut off before showing him or for all we know it could also be Shinra propaganda to say that the cause of the destruction was neutralized. But this trailer definetly confirmed that Zack will be a key player in this and the finale of the trilogy

[@TheTerribleToph]

That's my exact theory so far. Especially since we don't see Clouds body at the beginning of the trailer. I also want to put forth the reason Zack didn't go straight to Aerith because Cloud never got better and left for the Reunion. Zack would obviously go looking for him, taking him out of the action. Which in turn would end up getting them all killed. Although I wonder if the Sigularity Killed them or maybe they Died fighting a version of Sephiroth since they didn't have Cloud/Zack there to help. Or were they just a casualty of the Singularity causing Tornandos when our Group destroyed the whispers.

Your hype for FF7 never ceases to be infectious. Thanks for being an inspiration as always dood.

That 1:49 reaction is a Class A example of max's energy. It's why I watch him 😂

[@hyperbandit]

I like how he all of a sudden noticed how off the rails he was and had to force himself to tone it down because otherwise he was going to miss details. It was just such a pure display of emotion that you don't always get to see, especially with streamers trying to overreact to everything.

[@huzidamasta]

@@hyperbandit yup. There's a reason it was HIM at that celebration event as opposed to any other content creator. His energy is so damn addictive and I think game companies/developers are more aware of max than anyone else.

[@redcomet0079]

Even though the trailer showed everything he’s been talking about for 3 yrs now, I’m still entertained by how excited he gets about the exact things he predicted and wanted

[@santiagosotelo7177]

In the trailer for the 25th anniversary Tifa said "are You saying that I died, that I'm an impostor". They're hinting at It in both trailers. Also, could there be a connection between the Eagle that flies at the beginning of remake and in the final scene of Intergrade and Zack saying "those wings, I want them too" when he died?. I like to think in that timeline even as a spirit he's still watching the main characters of the story

[@RufusShinra]

Brought me to tears, This is the definitive remake/reimagining any creative studio should learn from.

Max’s passion for FF7 is awesome. He makes me feel the hype and love for the game

[@KalinhoPL]

Max's reaction is a must after every new FF VII R news.

[@zephyrsEdge]

@8:52 When Aerith is calling for Tifa to join in on the dualtech style attack, and the party is them and Cloud, you can see Barrett in the background start shooting at something. It'll be interesting to see if there is an active PHS system that allows other characters to swap in since they are present during the combat sequence.

[@natale_]

What I love the most: A) Max's reaction. Because it's everything lol B) they only gave us storyline from the OG FFVII with the exception of the beginning showing Barrett, Tifa, Aerith, and Red on the stretchers presumably dead. Just everything about this game...I LOVE IT!!!

[@ronaldmaday]

My theory is that Sephiroth is trying to prevent Cloud and Tifa’s lifestream trip. If the two are at odds with each other then she never gets to recover him and Cloud is lost forever, not able to fight Sephiroth.

[@ronaldmaday]

@@RicochetForce Yep. And it makes sense. Last year’s trailer where Tifa accused Cloud of thinking she’s an imposter, this trailer having the Whisper glitch after the Kalm INN scene, and Sephiroth’s comment about her dying as she gets sliced. Too much about the two of them doubting each other for it to be a coincidence.

[@ShirouBrando]

​@@RicochetForce witch is gona make that scene with tifa hit even harder In part 3

[@LAWMethod]

I can’t believe how good this looked, the way they captured the essence of the open world from the original is nothing short of AMAZING to me. Surpassed my expectations

[@Freebytes]

I thought I might have been the only one that thought the ending of the Midgar section was the end of original Final Fantasy 7 and then had my mind blown when the open world area was revealed. Memories of 1997! Also, Cait Sith is probably going to be pronounced "Cat Shee" not "Kate Sith".

[@merbearlorelei]

Oh you just KNOW that the development team are still watching these videos and getting hyped all over again! We need reactions to the reaction!

[@NICKY_OM_13]

When the music start kickn man the chills, remake was already crazy. Rebirth will make you insane. I love it !

[@andimari9194]

Anyone notice that the music played during our group being injured in the beginning is music from the arbiter of fate boss fight? That means them being injured/killed is a direct result of that battle

[@ShirouBrando]

It also shows the feather on the highway right before they walk through the portal that aierth says will change everything

[@Christian_Kim]

Max’s reaction to this trailer was perfect and everything I was hoping for and more! His first reaction and being speechless and then analyzing everything was great, especially when the Dual Techs were revealed! Max and NicoB’s hype reactions to FF7R got me invested in the Remake and I’m so excited to experience Rebirth with everyone!

[@tarutso]

I watch this every morning after brushing my teeth for my daily dose of wholesome and hype

[@mranthony_dop]

As far as I remember, in the post credits sequence with zack, they walk “past” the main party from the game. And it feels like it’s in a “different time/timeline/space” but in the same location. So yeah, I think that’s the case. They will probably meet up as Sephiroth has in the first game. Probably have a cloud meeting cloud moment. Or maybe he dies in zack’s timeline and then they have the emotional reunion as their friend died in each of their original timelines

[@ValbrandrLeonhardt]

Watch the game need 2 discs, because 1 disc is clouds journey and the other disc is Zacks. It's extreme hopium, but it would be epic

[@Bitterlemon84]

​​@@ValbrandrLeonhardt yeah I thought the same and maybe you can choose or so.. like play 2 different games 😅

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

Been thinking and I could see them not wanting to make the player break away from Cloud to play solely as Zack during the Zack timeline segments. We may get Cloud, Zack, Jessie, Wedge, & Biggs as the party for the alternate timeline?

[@thedarkderp2520]

Cloud might be disc 1 and Zack might be disc 2

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

@@thedarkderp2520 Maybe but I think the entire game is just two discs and you’ll probably cut between the timelines at certain events across both discs. I dunno how I’d like it if they split the timeline stuff into separate discs, but it depends on how it’s handled. I hope we get an interview soon and they discuss this a little more. For the whole game to take up 2 discs makes sense. The original is a huge game and they made the Midgar section into a whole 40 hr game - when in the original it’s only 6 hrs of a much larger game. They still have a ton left to cover, and still a 3rd game on the way.

[@gozogo1233]

Cloud would still be in a semi vegetable state in that timeline though, also, there is all the Turks who would be on Zack's side. Kunsel could be their intel guy as well. With the main party being dead, we could have other characters join Zack's party as well.

[@Valentien23]

Its possible that the team met up earlier without cloud and almost made it out of the shinra building when the tornado came … just as cloud and zack were coming in … now theyre dead and only cloud and zack are alive which is why we see zack come in to the residents crying

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

@@gozogo1233 Yeah he’s still in a comatose state but I think they’ll figure out a way to heal Cloud in the Zack timeline.

[@zodzecht]

Back when they made the ps3 tech demo that same night I had a dream of me playing what I imagined Final Fantasy Remake would look and play like and this is not far off, however it was a part that hasn't been shown or even barely spoken about, I was piloting the highwind, chasing the Ultima Weapon through the valleys of Cosmo Canyon, all in a cool action sequence with the Weapon Raid theme playing. If this comes true then I will be super happy.

[@snowrider9018]

The tornado could refer to the Whisper tornado at the end of Remake…. but what about Story of the Ancients scene in Remake? The one where Barret, Tifa and Cloud are in the simulation room If you remember that scene from Remake, you'll also remember the simulation room glitched and showed Midgar being destroyed by several orange "tornadoes" (essentially the end of FF7 OG). Soon after, Cloud turns around and sees Barret and Tifa dead. What do we see in the new Rebirth trailer? Barret and Tifa in gurneys supposedly dead. The news clip in the Rebirth trailer could be the aftermath of this glitched scene from Remake. My theory is that in the simulation room in Remake, Sephiroth actually showed Cloud Zack's timeline when "tornadoes swept through sector 0, 1 and 2."

[@ShirouBrando]

I definitely think your on to something But I find it real interesting that after they show all the bodies they cut to the glitching feather right before the final fight in remake I wonder if when they went through that portal thats what cause these versions to die

I want a translation for that Japanese trailer. In English, at the end, Sephiroth says “you know I killed her. So, who is ‘she’?” But in the Japanese at that same point, you can clearly hear him name Tifa.

[@travisyap2914]

Because english are fake. And japanese script are the true one forever.

[@baerishlyakita3711]

He says (basically) that “I had already killed Tifa. So then who is that?” So…Tifa is killed in this timeline??😮 It’s weird they left her name out of the English version, maybe to be more vague?

[@enlongjones2394]

@@baerishlyakita3711 hm. That definitely sounds like he’s fucking with Cloud. Like, I imagine Cloud is getting shattered pieces of memories from the original timeline, and he can’t piece together *who* he’s mourning in the images he’s seeing. So Sephiroth is saying “it’s Tifa lol” to fuck with his head and put him off his game.

Yuffie is terrified of Jenova 🥺 Nero totally screwed her up. Intermission hinted at Wutai changing a ton but there's a whole other dimension to her character with this.
