The Changes In This Version Of Final Fantasy 7 ARE CRAZY..!

[@GenesisVII]

Did I miss any changes? I bet I did! Let me know! Don't forget to LIKE the video and drop a comment!

[@GimmeTOKYO]

There’s definitely differences in instrumentation used for the music I also noticed the graphics for the elevator don’t have the number tubes showing the floor numbers anymore!

17:03 missing cloud freakout moment

[@davidmckinnon1457]

Final fantasy 7 had the best beginning ever. Fast paced n thrown right into the deep end. Brilliant. Still gives me chills

[@ClassyCrustatio]

Cloud's Field model is different, the magic casting sfx is different, Cloud also has a "ready" animation while he is wating to do his attack, Enemy Model's are slightly different (Mainly color), There isn't a Barrier/MBarrier bar, HP and MP drop AFTER that character's turn is over not during, The Map where you save Jessie is different. Music uses a slightly different sound font. Funny enough I didn't play this demo I played the other one that puts Tifa in your party instead of Aeris and is a 1-1 of the OG bombing mission. It was a later build, possibly even after the game released in, I think, PSM magazine. ALl the assets are as they are in the OG, dialog, is the OG dialoge, Guard Scorpion is there, 10 min timer is there. The only difference is Tifa and a buffed up party with buffed spells. Guard Scorpion is also WAY tougher. OTher than that it's exactly the same as the game build.

[@josecuestas7246]

Yeah, i read that the original trio meant to be Cloud, Aerith and Barret. As Tifa was created after them. Even, i read that it was debated by the producers if they chooses Barret or Aerith as the character that will dies. And was chosen Aerith, because kill Barret would be an obvious option, in the sense that he has a similarity with previous characters that dies in previous FF, like be veteran and experienced characters that had to deal with hardships, making their deaths simply the end of their ordeal. While that Aerith is a young person, with a long life ahead, making her death more impactful.

[@KommanderKrim]

They had the Final Fantasy X style of looking at the other character that's performing an attack (or heal) on them, like you noticed. I also saw how Cloud and Barret had ready stances. Kinda like how 8's character's had their idle stance, then they had a "ready" stance after you input a command. Cloud held his sword closer to him and Barret was a bit more crouched. I didn't notice Aeris(th) having a "ready" stance though. Hard to see. I agree with another commenter that they should have kept the "All" selection in the main game.

[@rfmerrill]

Aerith's attack sound effect is different, as is the magic casting sound effect.

[@ShinzouKatsune]

You didnt see it, But if you let a playable character lose all their hp, in this version, they do the mob death fizzle out in red and you cant revive them.

[@TeamLinux01]

The 3 minute time only counts down out of battle in this build. That's why they increased the time when they had it also go during battles for the final US version.

[@bubblegumkk8158]

Honestly I would preferred they kept the little All materia submenu here. Very clean.

[@wicked-witch-of-the-west]

Barrett is so much bigger during fights

[@GenesisVII]

Must be that heavy shot he has haha!

[@user-ni8rl6pf4q]

Which part looks bigger? You're so naughty 😈

[@Rpodnee]

I think they just made everything else smaller.

[@scottbakes2451]

Makakakakokokororo cracked me up 😂 Sick channel my dude

[@tpolutts3309]

7:22 I have never ever ever heard anyone pronounce "geez" like that. Pretty sure thats going to keep me awake tonight.

[@GenesisVII]

I’m so sorry haha. After watching it back I have no idea why I said it that way! 😂

[@Krelen107]

I, for one, loved the voice overs

[@chrisrippy2288]

Strange....as a kid I had an FF7 demo that came with a Titan summon. I specifically remember it. I'm PRETTY sure it had Cloud, Barret, and Tifa but I'm not sure.

[@GenesisVII]

Oooo interesting!

[@tpolutts3309]

Been a while but I think there were 3 different demos. One for playstation magazine and then two versions that came with games.

[@TheTateful]

The John McEnroe reactor

[@Roninkinx]

Clouds model is the one seen in older pictures/vids from the 4th cd in international, his bustersword textures are different final and some of the instrumentation is different I’ve seen thus far before leaving the first screen. Plus the intro animation which would have been PERFECT for boss battles. Barret is HUGE and his vest is a different color…huh.

[@ShinzouKatsune]

Ranged attacks doing more damage on flying wasnt really an ff thing till ffx.

[@neiljackson6019]

I remember this demo and I remember playing it when I had a playstation

[@loxpectationz7562]

It seems like the timer is only counting down when moving in the area and not in battle?

[@tonybrown512]

I did play this demo when Tobal no.1 came out. I liked how when preparing to do an attack, the characters change their fighting stance. Don't know why they chose to not have that in the full game. And as much as I love FF7, Tobal no.1 is still one of the coolest fighting games ever made. I never met another person in real life who had the game.

[@AD3SPG]

Damn i remember playing the demo from a magazine so much my mom rented the game them eventually bought it for me, and after she bought 8,9,10.

[@SgtSnuggles2008]

They should have kept the "all" selection in the release

[@JBalmoreS]

At least in the international Playstation release you can use an L or R button to change between all or singular.

[@ShinzouKatsune]

Oh interesting, just noticed for the first time the speech text kerning is very different in this version. Its WAY wider between characters.

[@jpschultz2009]

I didn’t even know there was even a demo for the game! But there are quite a few differences from the game we got. I noticed something you didn’t mention that might be different. Now I’m not a pervert and I wasn’t looking for it but I think Aeris’ chest is more pronounced in the demo than it was in the game. 😅

[@jainee4507]

Barret looks like a total beast in this version.

[@TeamLinux01]

I saw Tobal No. 1 in a case at Sears and convinced to have my Mom get it for me. I had already had FF7, but I want to play the sampler demo and throught I would try Tobal, as well. Plus it was less than $50. Played the demo once or twice and thought it was interesting between it and the final version we received in the US.

[@SixDovahkiin]

Why you can see Aerith cleveage so well? What's happening here?

[@TheNathanJasper]

Yeah they toned it down for the game. I can tell its different too.

[@slayer1156]

She had some majombas, they've been dialing it down ever since release.

[@KuraiNoOni]

Interesting, how they kept the "reactor" part( the -ro part of Makoro) untranslated from the Mako power plant. Maybe it was a script limitation in this demo build? On the other hand, they referred to both factions as "the Shinra" and "the Avalanche", implying that the localizer's primary language wasn't english. Same with Aerith. This spelling was just a different romanization from Earis(エアリス). Now I'm more surprised, that Barret wasn't misspelled as Bullet. I kinda liked the Text part in the beginning of the intro movie, which gave a little exposition to the game's story, something they actually utilized in Advent Children eventually.

[@thomasaznive6875]

Much like the FF7 Demo that came with the Official Playstation Monthly Magazine/Demo disk... I was instantly hooked!

[@johnhamilton5431]

Isn't that into at the beginning the same as the tune heard in the background at the start of ff10? Want to say while Tidus is talking to the kids who ask him to teach then to blitz?

[@GenesisVII]

It's similar, but not the same, it's a bop non the less though haha!

[@johnhamilton5431]

@GenesisVII cheers, was giving me random flashbacks, must be relatively close. It's been a good 10 or so years! 😅

[@EvoSchecter]

This is awesome! More videos like this please!

[@reloadpsi]

They definitely hadn't finalised the soundfont yet.

[@michaeldarabasz7210]

Barret's head is too small for his body.

[@cosmicjefe]

could you max level in the Demo?

[@GenesisVII]

Those EXP bars took a while to go up, but they go up so I guess you can try? Haha

[@versus.dustin]

Wow, X's menu aesthetic and version of the prelude are here in their infancy.

[@halfSpinDoctor]

Cloud, SET US UP THE BOMB!

[@chrisrippy2288]

All your base are belong to us

[@Ghosthitman387]

Definitely play the FFVIII demo! I remember playing it with brave fencer Musashi. It had a really unique music track that was changed in the final version and didn’t end up being anywhere near as good…

[@keenmachine80]

I was at a goodwill and saw the demo in there, should of got it.

[@heinzie5]

that menu music at the start later appeared in ffx

[@GenesisVII]

It sounds similar, but the FFX is different, it's a bop non the less though!

[@Nokia_editz]

I played a demo but not sure which one. I think a samurai fighting game was included.

[@GenesisVII]

Sounds like Brave Fencer Musashi?

[@Sakura_Matou]

You seriously have the smoothest voice XD

[@GenesisVII]

Why thank you!

[@s30ztt]

I had this cd as a kid, remember stealing it from my cousin bf lol 😂

[@GenesisVII]

😂

[@Smolharuharu]

This is cool but you play so un curiously. Choosing the same commands over and over when the point is to see all the little differences

[@GenesisVII]

What would you have liked to have seen that I missed?

[@Smolharuharu]

@ of course cross slash, even though selecting braver the 2nd time lead to learning the boss was immune to it, which was interesting. I know you didn’t mean to select it a 3rd time. Barrett had demi, which is a bit of a strange looking and sounding spell already so it would have been nice to see you consider using it. Cure 3 was available and of course it was overkill but cure 2 looked different so it’d have been nice to see. I don’t know if the change command was available but it might have been interesting to see how much of a difference it made and to see how it interacted with the way the characters faced each other. Do they still face each other if you attack them? Stuff like that.

[@MalfunctioningAI]

Long live Aeris

[@BoxxyFan]

Clickbait thimbnail and title. This is the demo, NOT a different version of the game.

[@SmartSwitch-tc5mp]

I've played it since 1997. Yes it is different (slightly)

[@GenesisVII]

I can see why you would say that. Indeed it's a Demo, a trial version of the game, a previous version/build. That to me is a version of the game that differs to game we got.

[@BoxxyFan]

@@GenesisVII A demo is not a full game. It's a demo.

[@GenesisVII]

@@BoxxyFan I agree.

[@ShinzouKatsune]

But it's not a demo of ff7. Not the final release version at least. This demo was created using an earlier build version of the game. So you're wicked outta line with this. It is a different version of ff7, in all respects. Not complete, nor final, and yes a demo, but NOT the same as the ff7 version we all know.

[@user-ni8rl6pf4q]

This actually looks substantially better than what we actually got. Sad!

[@GenesisVII]

There’s a few features I would have loved to have stayed!

[@aygaion2295]

Stop commenting while high please.

[@davidmckinnon1457]

This is the ff7 demo yes?

[@GenesisVII]

Yeah this is the 1996 demo

[@MalfunctioningAI]

Long live Aeris

[@GenesisVII]
