Pretty sure that the "1/35 Soldier" item is referring to a scale miniature, similar to wargaming miniatures, Gundam models, and even model vehicles & trains. So 1/35 scale would mean that the item is 1 35th the size of a regular person.

@@fredspofford I'm guessing so, but please don't discredit all of someone's arguments just for one mistake or speculation. It is okay to be wrong. However, It is not okay to be wrong and not humble about it. We do not know yet where the author stands. Your attitude towards devaluing someone's intelligence for being wrong could influence insecurity and bad behavior. There is no need to shame the individual, simply correct. We are all wrong sometimes. There is nothing to hate about that. I used to be a perfectionist, so I can empathize with your viewpoint, but please hear me out.

[@naheemquattlebaum2267]

Also Vincent and Yuffie weren't in the cut scenes because they were considered to be optional characters as you can go through the entire game without obtaining either one. It would've been too much for the PS1 to have separate cut scenes depending on who you had in your party.

[@emobassist]

The house was one of many strange enemies in FF7. I went back to the original game a few years ago and realized FF7 is actually a pretty weird game lol

[@imveryangryitsnotbutter]

Honestly, not so strange when you think about it. Mimics are a staple of D&D and its ilk (Final Fantasy included). The M.O. of these monsters is that they disguise themselves as desirable inanimate objects to prey on greedy adventurers or desperate folk. And in the undercity of Midgar where poverty and homelessness go completely unchecked, what more desirable object for a Mimic to disguise themselves as, than a comfy-looking house? In the Remake, it's even classified as Artificial Life, which heavily implies that Hojo created it, probably so he could unleash it in the slums and see what happens, for science.

At the risk of sounding "edgy" or whatever I have to say that VII is the most influential game I've ever played. I got the game in winter 1997, as an 11 year old, going through a lot and it became an escape for me during my adolescence. I had a really tough life from 10-16 and I honestly feel like the game really saved my life.

[@orgixvi3]

I don't understand why people find the ending of FF7 vague or cryptic. Aerith was in the lifestream. Sephiroth was in there, too, preventing Holy from stopping Meteor. After exorcizing Sephiroth and allowing Holy to be cast, Aerith uses the lifestream to empower it and stop Meteor. That's why we see her one final time, the same way we saw her the first time. Aerith, in death, saved the world. It's a bookend, but I never felt like it was implying there was a timeloop or a vision of the future. Especially since we got sequels that show Meteorfall's aftermath.

[@featherless2524]

In the original they mention how the planet and Holy could eradicate Humans for being the planet's biggest threat. Then at the end we see that only Red XIII is left with his children looking down at an abandoned Midgard that nature has taken over. Of course Square would retcon the ending later for the money!

[@orgixvi3]

[@AdachiCabbage]

I'm shocked that you haven't brought up the "Who killed Aerith: Sephiroth or Jenova," debate. There are videos that cover this because, in the Japanese version, there is a different text that implies that the person going around in all of the encounters is Jenova using an image of Sephiroth (which is why you fight her every single time.) It doesn't make sense that Sephiroth would randomly have pieces of Jenova, he's in the creator when you finally find him, and he died in Nibel. It also makes sense that Jenova wouldn't know who Cloud is, because only Sephiroth met Cloud back then and she calls him a puppet/doll because he has Jenova cells inside of him.

[@Ryushikaze]

The full answer is that Sephiroth, controlling the braindead body of Jenova, killed Aerith. He's been pulling all available Jenova cells to himself, including weak willed SOLDIERS, Copy project experimentees, and Jenova's body.

[@moleahjobe]

I think you are right. Sephiroth falls into the lifestream at the reactor and re-emerges in north crater where he remains the entire game. Anytime you see Sephiroth outside a flash back or the final fight you are seeing Jenova. If Sephiroth was controlling her is up for debate.

[@Ryushikaze]

@@moleahjobe No, I'm pretty certain it's been confirmed that Sephiroth overpowered Jenova and was in full control.

[@moleahjobe]

@@Ryushikaze Are you tho…? are you that sure….? Go watch the Sephiroth north crater scene from the GAME. Sephiroth doesn’t even have any legs 😂 He’s been trapped in the lifestream and driven even more to madness, controlling others with jenova cells in them to do his work. It’s the whole basis of the game.

[@Ryushikaze]

@@moleahjobe yes. Sephiroth was controlling Jenova's body remotely, same as he took control of cloud momentarily. He was in control.

[@albertnonymous9759]

I always assumed most summons are Cetra. Materia is Mako, Mako is lifeforce, and lifeforce contains the memories of those in it. Hence why it enables you to cast spells and use abilities without learning the hard way. Aside from a few oddballs like Choco/mog, (chocobos are special and Moogles do have some status in universe given Cait Sith. Extinct perhaps?) and Typoon (direct FFvi reference, Ultros' pet thingy), almost all are human-adjacent (Titan, Shiva, Ramuh, Odin, Hades, KotR, etc.) or powerful creatures like dragons (bahamut, neo/zero/etc.) Or other mako-infused beings (Condor becoming Phoenix) The human ones, then, are either humans or Cetra, the latter far more likely

I always thought The ending was that Holy had decided not to stop Meteor because Holy had judged humanity to be not worth saving, and Aerith's spirit used the lifestream to save everybody.

[@MariusBoss11458]

Well it's wrong. Cool theory but it is simply that Holy was summoned too late. Although the PSX says "Holy is doing the opposite effect"

[@bretsheeley4034]

Holy stopped Meteor from destroying the planet itself, however it also wiped out humanity as Bugenhagen predicted. (The sequels and follow-up materials were not original planned for, and are technically out of continuity with the original game.) Aerith's appearance was to signify her fulfilling the prophecy that she was leading them to the Promise Land (aka, the Lifestream). Red, not being human, survived and was not judged against by Holy.

[@MariusBoss11458]

@@bretsheeley4034 Did it tho? Wasn't it that because Holy was too late that the Lifestream (or Aerith) had to intervene?

[@perforongo9078]

It was a pretty common practice for Square to come out with "International Versions" of their games. Basically, since their games were made in Japan, they were released in Japan before anywhere else. But when they were released internationally, they'd fix bugs and maybe even add some new content while they waited for localizers to do their thing. So since the Japanese market would miss out on these improvements, they'd rerelease the game as an "International" version in Japan, and add even more content.

[@CStarFlare]

Was it common? FFVII was the first I am aware of but maybe I just wasn't paying attention before then. The only earlier FF revision I can think of was FFIV Easy Type, which came out in Japan a month before FFII. I'm only aware of X and XII getting international revisions after VII.

[@GyroMozzarella]

@Perfo Rongo I disagree. Just take a look at the earlier titles. A lot of content was cut from the english translation, 4 full games were left unreleased for decades, censorship was super heavy, and the games were sometimes just neutered. FFIV is a great example of this

[@meowiies]

Just wanted to say I finished playing the original about a month ago (originally played the remake when it went free for ps plus and always wanted to know how the original story went) and it has been on my mind this whole month. Dying to play it the whole month while trying to backlog but finally played it again. I'm so happy. Love it so much!

[@NihonNoMajin]

Ah yes I remember that secret ending of Dirge! I remember there were rumors that they were going to make a Sephiroth game called Final Fantasy VII: One-Winged Angel that ended with him fighting Genesis one last time connecting it with Dirge. Sadly never got it, but that made my teenage art so excited at the time.

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Thanks for this big compilation, I have actually learned something new.

[@l33g3ndar33]

1:20:08 That isn't a factory, it's the cargo hold of the Shinra Cargo ship that takes the party from Junon to Costa del Sol, on the 2nd continent of the game. This picture is slightly different from the one in-game though. It appears to extend further back than the original and has none of the crates and other objects present in the game. Also, the last picture seems to be the area from the cutscenes with Shinra and where Cloud gives the Black Materia to Sephiroth. At least, that's what it appears to be imo.

[@peterboyll2330]

I immediately paused and went to the comments to see if anyone else noticed this. It looks like the ship model, but as though a large drop door has opened. Maybe for entering or exiting the ship.

[@l33g3ndar33]

@@peterboyll2330 Yeah. It resembles how it would look with the cargo hold gate dropped, like when the party goes aboard. It could be the original rendering, before the cargo objects were placed. Or, maybe there was a plan to use it for something that was ultimately scrapped.

[@kadenhazami9644]

Those 2 are correct. The Ship spot where you go to Costa Del Sol, The cave is where you see the Shinra goons and Cloud floats up and puts the Black Materia into Sephiroth. Behind him are the weapons that awaken and fly out of the Northern Crater. The last picture looks like it was used in the Yuffie side quests when you have to put in the "Correct" responses to get her to join you before everyone walks off screen.

[@604Nice]

I love watching these videos as soon as they drop, and you put a great amount of effort into them which should not go unnoticed. And I hope that this does not come off rude but the way you pronounce some words really takes away from the immersion to an extent. I never knew compilation could be pronounced incorrectly as well as some names that I have heard over the course of some videos. Honestly though, keep up the good work and I'm pretty sure I will watch all future videos regardless of pronunciation!

Impressive info about this game

[@luckunn_]

I had read somewhere that Vincent was immortal due to the "Chaos" in him. As at the end of the game Dirge of Cerberus, Vincent loses the Chaos, he becomes mortal again. But even 500 years later, Nanaki comes back to Midgar to continue the pact he made with Vincent, even if Vincent is not alive anymore (which is still very beautiful in itself). But then, as the authors never really talked about Vincent's immortality after "On the Way to a Smile", the question of "if Vincent becomes mortal again or not?" is still debated. I hope they can end this debate in the remakes by giving us a definitive answer.

[@Bodhinaut]

I read the book “on the way to a smile” and Vincent has a heart to heart with Nanaki. Nanaki is sad that someday everyone he loves will be dead. Vincent reassures him toward the end of the book that he is still immortal and he will be around long after his death even. It made Nanaki feel better but sad for Vincent.

[@Krystalruby]

"On the Way to a Smile" takes place between OG FF7 and Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus takes place after Advent Children. I've also read that Chaos made Vincent immortal, so once Chaos returned to the planet at the end Dirge of Cerberus, Vincent should theoretically have lost his immortality. But like you said, they haven't really referenced his immortality much outside of "On the Way to a Smile". Hopefully they do give us a definitive answer in Remake.

[@justjusticeful]

Development began in 1994, originally for the Super Famicom. After delays and technical difficulties from experimenting on several real-time rendering platforms, Square moved production to pre-rendered video, necessitating the huge capacity of the CD-ROM format and therefore departing Nintendo for the PlayStation. Veteran Final Fantasy staff returned, including series creator and producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, director Yoshinori Kitase, and composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game is the first in the series to use full motion video and 3D computer graphics, superimposing real-time 3D character models over pre-rendered CGI backgrounds. Final Fantasy VII introduced more widespread science fiction elements and a more realistic presentation, while the gameplay systems remained largely similar to previous entries, with the addition of new elements such as Materia, Limit Breaks, and new minigames. The staff of more than 100 had a combined development and marketing budget of around $80 million.

I think its a mix of ff7 theme and one winged angel

[@Official_Triple_D]

Same question lol

[@aaronammann4236]

Well with the remake of 7, there is an older shinra to be seen in a picture making a nod to what he was able to fully complete the original shinra company.

[@MarkERoth]

When you were talking about possible prequel and sequel, I thought you might mention FF 9. At a weapon shop of the kingdom ruled by Cid, before it's partially destroyed, you can see Clouds Ragnarock sword on the wall. Approach the wall and you can trigger a dialog box that reads "I've seen a spiky haired guy with this sword."

[@christoforbarrett1151]

I think because of clouds actions he was transported to other worlds to continue living on instead of being left to die with the rest of humanity.

[@jessewilliams9195]

Fascinating, thank you

[@gospelarchain4504]

Cait Sith was clarified this year and you got this one wrong. It's pronounced how people thought and not the proper Gaelic pronunciation XD

[@lucca5367]

1:05:33 I always thought 1/35 was a scale size, like with plastic model kits and such.

[@klautstreif9973]

Great, thanks! 🙏

[@nemesisundead83]

This iceberg just got a whole lot deeper after Rebirth......way deeper

[@RogueSabre]

I feel remorse for the people of Midgar. Most seemed to be living out their life not bothering anyone/anything. Yet eventually their tax money, places of worship (I assume) homes, and places of business were all destroyed/ maybe abandoned.

[@BigChunk4530]

Just from the intro you can tell this is gonna be fucking fantastic!!!

[@the_real_vdegenne]

Correction: the field at 1:19:00 is used in the game, it's the inside of the industrial boat that leaves Junon after the parade.

[@imnickjr]

More than 1 hour of FF7? Let's Goooooo!

[@edwardallen9919]

i would like to add that hell house was greatly expanded on in the remake. probly because of those speculations.

[@ilucasz]

That whole Final Fantasy VII House thing really shocked me when I first heard of it. That girl was really problematic and things really get worse as you go down that rabbit hole. Hope that it really ended.

[@generatoralignmentdevalue]

Last I heard, it ended but she moved to the Hannibal fandom and started the same kind of thing all over again.

[@ilucasz]

@@generatoralignmentdevalue Give her a couple more years and she may tell she's actually Charles Manson's reincarnation by the way she makes cults.

[@chocolattemocha8512]

@@generatoralignmentdevalue I’m pretty sure she also had a teenager with her too? But like, not her kid. She just took them and apparently no one’s seen either of them since.

[@LoungeFly02]

1:20:08 That's the stairs on the ship you take over to costa del sol. Though crates and boxes look missing, it's the same background

[@AneurynPlays]

Hey, what's the version of the battle theme that you are using at the start of this video? Do you have a link?

[@Mrniceguy2209]

My favourite part of Advent Children was when Cloudo drifted his bike like it was a snowboard and said "it's kaasan time".

[@Omnishredder]

The cheese weapon was so outlandish that it was a grate watch

[@codychapman7342]

BAHHARHARHARAR!! GOOD ONE, CHIP!

[@Beeyo176]

56:42 I had no idea this was the case and that is so heart warming

[@eighty8keyes]

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but the Cow Level from Diablo II was actually made real from a long ago rumor from the first Diablo game and went on to spawn spin-offs of mentioning cow levels in various other games/media.

[@bronsonjohnson9019]

I loved Ehrgeiz, not even for the fighting game, but the secondary dungeon crawl game.

[@Archetype_Angel]

This is where I first learned about stock market and the best time to buy/sell wine XD

[@adolfhitmaker8639]

Yep, this is where a young me learned what lipids were

[@shin_kezato2089]

surprised that he didnt mention that the diamond weapon from ff7 was in ff15 kingsglaive

[@tillyevaroa685]

yo putting advent children after Maiden is wiiiiild between that, the "compile-ation" and the ff8 lyrics in the intro i'm wondering if this was just a 1hr 22 min excuse for a masterclass ad

[@daehan8227]

Knowing how Cloud in FFT was canon. It reminds me of how I would've loved to see Squall in Tactics, knowing he was unconscious after Edea used her limit break on Squall

[@theonlygeronimo1192]

Ffx is the prequel. Shinra is essentially the first founder of Shinra company. Spheres were primitive materia. Sin was the original "weapon"

[@Xaero13]

It's speculated that they developed space flight, then left Spiral and landed on Gaia, then founded the Shin-Ra Corp

[@Wolfqueen007]

That cut content about Red XIII's clones would've been awesome. Wonder if they'll include in the remake

[@godwidevoid]

6:22 Had the Advent + Last Order DVD. Also a Beanie that said FFVII:Advent Children on it with the Cloudwolf/Wolfcloud elblem.

[@PyrusDeus]

Great Video ! Can someone tell me the Name of the Intro Song ? I know its Battle begin but i can’t find it with the choir

[@Gaz66d]

1:20:08 that’s not a “factory” that’s just the empty cargo area of the Junon/Costa Del Sol ferry. The layout is exactly the same as the one in the game where you first go across to Costa Del Sol except it’s not all blocked up with shipping containers and things that force you up the stairs on the far side. Also I swear I’ve seen that screen with the Hill but it’s related to something else… Also that ‘Mystical tree’ is in the game, it’s a slightly different angle of the same place where cloud hands the Black Materia to Sephiroth when he’s encased in Crystal…

[@exeledusprince9165]

Cerberus begins with the letter "C".

[@LolwutStevie]

Awesome video I need that intro music though!?
