Transcending history and the world, a tale of dudes and souls, eternal control.
We are the king, the sun, the heart, the sea, how far we've come on our journey.
I'm a fire
Get ready to go
Searching for my star
Deep in the night
Breathing in my heart
That's my shine
Showing me what love is
Stay for a while
I'm gonna get to get into so much
History
I'm a fire
Oh, what's up dudes?
All right, chat, we had an early ass day-to-day
which eventually led to Todd Howard.
All things lead to Todd Howard.
They just eventually arrive there
regardless of what steps they take,
but as they choose, all leads to Todd.
Anyway, hi, hi chat.
We're back.
At least you know something happened.
at least we actually got some bits of information,
a little bit.
We got some appropriate FF7 stuff
and enough stuff to talk about
that has boiled into your conversation.
God, brightness, too bright.
Anyway, I'm checking on my Neo download as well
and it's still going.
It's a big ass game.
I just bought the game myself.
Play Oblivion Remastered Win.
Oblivion remastered?
Right where I decided to
cancel any of my
Affinity for Final Fantasy 7 and replace it with Oblivion
That's my commitment now. We're just gonna be excited about the next Elder Scrolls game
That's where I'm personally at and I'll wait for Elder Scrolls the game to come out I
Yeah, can't wait!
Oh my god.
That's the sound I make do
That's actually the sound that I make when my heart rips in half
That's it
anyway
Joe thanks for the five I best ever rebirth on switch to confirm 50 bucks. Yeah, so
Here's the crazy part
You have to bring up the notepad again. Hold on
Here's the crazy part
This is the one that happened ff7 is the one that happened. So we paid out 77 gift subs
But if the game is 40 bucks, you get 23 gift subs
So the game is technically going down to 50
However, and I I just retweeted this not that long ago dude check this out
That's not worldwide
It's 40, I'm sorry, it's 50 in the U.S.
It's 50 American dollars.
However, in several other regions,
as people have shown to me,
and depending on the platform you find,
where the hell is it?
Trying to find it.
The hell is it?
Yeah.
It's indeed going for $39.99.
So, it's $39.99 on Xbox on sale for a pre-order sale.
It's debuting at $39.99.
And apparently in Japan and most other regions, it's $39.99 as well.
It's like $30 in Japan if you buy it on Switch too.
So for some reason, the other regions get a pre-order discount.
America, no.
We're being punished for good reason.
So, yeah, everybody everywhere else. I don't think the majority of people that it's coming out. Yeah, Asia and the EU like those regions
It's 40
We it's just more expensive for us
so
Yeah, I mean
Yeah
That's crazy
So I technically it came true that this isn't it is 39 99 in most places of the world
outside of the U.S. The U.S. is the one where it's like 50. And here's the other crazy part. Check this out.
A Square Press release came out today. This is extremely small. Hold on a second.
A Square Press release came out today.
And yeah, a big part of the news is that the PlayStation 5, PC versions of the game are about to undergo a permanent price reduction on February 9th.
The standard edition in U.S. dollars is $49.99.
So even the other ones we were just talking about this dude how it's like dude the game is still 70 bucks
I mean it goes on sale for like 35
usually
But that's a massive who knows what it's gonna be in other regions. I don't know right?
I don't know the switch to is also 49 99 right in the US
It's 49 99. I don't know what it is in other regions, but in other regions. It is a
a little bit cheaper. I don't know if this one will be because it's not a pre-order bonus.
However, all I got to say is that boils down to an additional 23 gift subs. That's pretty much it, dude.
An additional 23 gift subs. So the rest of the world gets Final Fantasy 7 at the exact same rate that FF7 Remake came out.
And we're all the only ones. You know what? Yeah, we're not the entirety of the world, bro. That is pretty much the way it is.
So, I owe 23 more gift subs, it happened.
And here's the thing I have to also mention.
Last night, people said I was crazy.
They're devaluing their product, they'll never do that, it's on Nintendo.
Like a billion people were telling me that last night, bro-bro-bro, or bro-bro-bro.
People were saying this to my face as I was saying this.
How do you feel now?
Huh?
How do you feel now?
What does it feel like?
I'm connected or some shit, okay?
I don't know.
I'm just connected or some shit.
Gifting the subs, let me do 23.
All right, there we go.
There we go.
work. Please work. And bam, 100 gifts of distributed because
FF7 Rebirth was announced for Switch 2 and it also is
technically debuting at $40. That's crazy, man. That's
crazy. Although it puts us in a pretty peculiar situation. You
have to start asking questions. That press release and
permanent price drop. Well, the game's not out on switch two until June, right? But there's a
couple of things that are happening here that we need to break down. The yapping begins.
Looking at this from a broader perspective of just like, so when they're saying that there's
going to be a ton of FF7 news this year, they're saying that there's going to be more remake
compilation, any of this kind of stuff, news than ever before in 2026.
Right, I get you. So why is that any different? Well, it's because they're actually launching
three different Final Fantasy campaigns, if not multiple games this year.
Let's start thinking about it. This game drops on June 3rd, which is a few days before Summer Games
Fest, which lines up exactly with an announcement right after Summer Games Fest. I mean, we
just got remade not that long ago on Switch and here we are, the promotional period for
Rebirth is right here. I'm with you, yeah, and that makes a lot of sense to me. So yeah,
it makes perfect sense that we're going to get a part three reveal, like a big reveal
of part three, the debut at Summer Games Fest.
I was in the same boat.
And then the price drop thing happened,
where as soon as February 9th,
they are now saying the game is going to permanently
be dropping in price for all the existing consoles
it's out on, not Xbox, because it's not out there yet,
still waiting, and that's at the launch.
So every single version of the game
is about to drop in price, right?
That isn't happening on the same date it debuts on Xbox and Nintendo.
That's not June 3rd, dude.
It's February 9th.
It's like it's in a few days.
So that's a fascinating price drop.
Why would you not wait until it launches on the other platforms
to make it be significantly cheaper for everything?
seems weird. The only other thing that has not been confirmed is this potential mystery state of
play. The same people that were saying that there was going to be a Nintendo Direct on today were
also saying that there was going to be a state of play in a week. So that being said, a state of
play in KYH, it's because of pre-orders. You were one of the people that was wrong the last time.
You can't say anything. I'm looking at you. I remember your name
You are one of the folks that were saying max. That's insanely stupid. I remember you
Bro, I we can't we can't listen. We can't credit anything. You're saying after you're wrong so much. Okay, you gotta listen
Damn, yeah, I'm gonna call you out. I'm gonna get calling you out. I remember your names
Those of y'all have been around so long to have heard me talk about this shit so much for to eventually still doubt this shit
But what I'm saying is, there's very little reason for them to discount the games this
early. Unless something's about to happen. Why, why discount a game until the eventual
release of all the other versions of the game? Even if it's a pre-order, you can't play them.
It's like you're getting advanced access, you're paying a premium to play ahead of time. It's
It's almost like you need to lower the barrier of entry because there is about to be more
people playing it.
I'm just throwing it out there.
I don't think there's a shadow drop of anything happening immediately.
They're not technically shadow dropping the price drop of the game, but the only reason
to have this moment right now for there to be a price drop would usually revolve around
something, but there's going to be more eyes and ears on this than usual.
Just throwing it out there.
i was completely on board that it was like dammit yeah if the state of play
doesn't happen i i truly feel this
if there is no state of play in the next week or so
and there is no announcement for one
but i truly believe it summer games fest we're just gonna have to wait dude
we're gonna have to wait till like the eventual may
uh... springtime
plus a to play or something like that we're just gonna have to wait until that
period where it's gonna be a middle of the year
normal campaign lunch
If there is, if this state of play
that does not exist currently is real at GDC,
they don't know no significant big game announcements
around GDC, because nobody's paying attention to GDC,
except nerds.
When we get to next week,
either Tuesday, probably Tuesday,
but by Tuesday of next week,
if we have not gotten to a state of play announcement,
I think we're waiting to the middle of the year,
Which is fine.
More time to speculate and see how the heck
FF7 Rebirth works on Switch and all that kind of stuff.
More time for that.
I'm okay with it.
But if there is actually a state of play next week
and it's announced around Tuesday,
I think it's fucking happening.
Like, I don't know, man.
I got a legit do.
I think we're close.
I think we're really close.
Just based on the public information
that is out there right now.
If that price drop did not happen,
then I don't think we would be discussing this.
But the permanent price drop was announced
for a few days from now,
right before what would be a potential state of play.
So this is all completely speculative.
This is all completely just
hoping that there's gonna be something there.
I think a lot of other people are feeling similar stuff.
It rides on the state of play right now.
The bigger question is,
is this shit going to launch day and date multi-platform?
And that we still don't know.
However, there have been some pretty huge speculations
and rumors over the past, I would say 14 days.
Similar people that were saying that FF7 Rebirth
was going to show up at the Nintendo Direct,
which happened today,
We're also saying that, yeah, it's day and date.
It's coming out on everything, apparently.
And that's the whole reason why they're trying
to get the Switch version out as soon as possible.
So that there will be an eventual giant,
like six to eight month buildup
to potentially the release of the game
on every single platform, PC, Xbox, Switch 2, and PlayStation.
That is the best case scenario, dude.
Like that's the best scenarios that the final version
of this game has all the other versions of said game
available on said platforms that are discounted
and you can play them right now
and they legit run a hell of good.
We'll talk about that too.
There's some weird things going on
with the Switch 2 version,
but there will be a pretty decent six month waiting period
where everyone's just waiting for this shit to come out
on every single system
And everyone's gonna kind of be a part of it.
So, what about after FF7 Trilogy?
That is not important right now.
Listen, this shit's been going on for 30 goddamn years.
Okay, we have to focus.
I don't know what's happening after this,
but we have to lock in.
This is the end of the FF7 Trilogy, dude.
Okay, this is the 30 year cook.
If they don't land this shit, it will not be good.
So anyway, a lot of what's going down at Square right now
kind of rides on their ability to get their audience back,
bro, because they've effectively relegated it
to exclusivity checks over the past 10 plus years.
It has not worked out.
And it's looking better right now,
like FF7 remake sales on Switch
and all this kind of stuff,
I've actually done a lot,
their recent reports came out.
Actually, it's looking pretty good.
The multi-platform aspect of a lot of their pre,
their previous re-releases and ports are doing well.
So Square made way more money than they were anticipated
to make in the last quarter because of, you know,
tactics and older ports,
as well as FF7 remake on Switch and Xbox.
Who knows, maybe it does well on Xbox too.
All I'm saying is we're at a spot now, which is interesting
interesting because Square feels like they have to try. Like, uh-oh, you really got to try. And it
isn't like they haven't been trying. You can see the effort when the effort is made. But over the
past five years, that could be varying levels of effort and success, where it's like, it's at this
point, this is kind of like, oh, can the company stay afloat with their core franchises? Can this
work. So this is now maximum effort. And oh, it's when they put in maximum effort, you
actually see good results. It's like, oh, shit, this is working. This is starting to
work pretty well. Either way, at the end of my rant about what today tells us in terms
of what the future means, how the next week, how the next six months, five months are going
to effectively play out.
The longest running feelings that I have had is that, yeah,
dude, after the 30-year anniversary is literally
at the end of January in next year, genuinely feel
that game's coming out late January, sometimes February.
Like between late January to February,
I think the game is just launching in that time frame.
But if these announcements start happening, if this stuff is getting close to that potential reality,
if that state of play is announced, dude, right around a price drop, bro,
right at the price drop was the big one. It's right there. So anyway, if you guys are looking
forward to it and excited about this stuff, I legit feel I'm not even kidding you about this,
that the chances go up to like 90%, it's like a 90% reveal chance if we get FF7 Part 3 returns
on a state of play. It has to be a state of play at this point. And if that doesn't get announced,
we're going to have to wait a bit more. We're going to have to wait. But we were just having
this conversation not that long ago, it felt, and that was actually two months ago when we were
talking about the game awards, and it didn't happen then. Trying to keep your expectations
in check? I am, okay? Listen, I am. Expectations are in check. Listen, they are in check.
I am just saying, if the unannounced thing gets announced, it's 90%, dude. That's all I'm saying.
I think it's very likely. Just based on the way everything feels right now. Bro. So 12 months of
to teasers. If your question is what happens after that, probably not. I would imagine
it's a teaser to start just a teaser, the same thing as the rebirth teaser, and then
giant gameplay, giant gameplay drop at Jeff's show, because he Jeff always has FF7 shit,
because he's he's an he's an old head. So FF7 is like important to him. He always gives good
spots to FF7 at Summer Games Fest, as well as big spots at the game awards. He always does it,
dude. And it'll have another spot at the end of the year this year. So yeah, I think that the the
The last thing that could be at Summer Games Fest, 2026, the last thing of that show could
legit be Final Fantasy VII Returns.
So that and that will be the big reveal.
You are looking at airship gameplay, you are looking at world traversal, you're looking
at crazy story stuff, you're looking at combat, like everything.
We're going to be dissecting and pulling every single thing from every single frame out of
this shit.
The Obstacle on Returns, it's Returns.
I think it's Returns.
We were hovering, reunite for the very first part,
and then eventually, I thought it goes back to Returns.
Anyway, we'll see.
We'll actually know.
Dude, if we, dude, imagine the gifts of bets.
Imagine.
Could you be like, if it's Returns,
that has a big implication of the story.
It's almost like the story is going back to the original.
All right?
That's interesting.
If it's, what is the other one?
Reunite.
Sephiroth uses that word a whole bunch.
If it's reunite, actually he already technically does that.
I don't know if it'll be that.
Right?
Sephiroth reunites everything.
Reunion would be fascinating
because they already have multiple games called reunion
and another one that's happening.
Refund means you'll never get your money back.
There's a lot.
There's a lot of what it could be.
Everything is Sephiroth related.
Everything eventually boils down to Sephiroth in some way.
We have to put gifts of bets on that.
We have to put gifts of bets on it showing up.
And I'm gonna say it right now.
When else are we gonna get the opportunity for this?
Never again.
There's going to be an early gift sub bet next week
if the state of play is announced.
And straight up, I'm just making it a thousand years subs.
I'm giving it that.
I am giving this shit the chance
to be the biggest gift sub payout that I've ever given.
I'm giving it the chance to be that.
That's all it is.
So that'll be the default biggest one.
And then we can take minor incremental bets
on like titles and naming and stuff like that.
Not 77, 77, no.
No, that's way too much.
This is a game we know that's happening, Chad.
Don't be stupid.
7777 is like Tifa in Tekken type shit.
We might eventually get there because it's never happening.
So yeah.
I'm looking forward to it.
Rebirth hard mode this year, dude, it just begins at that point.
It just begins.
Like everything.
We have to start doing everything.
Playing the OGs playing a ton of stuff like bro it it rebegins
Anyway, can you actually explain why it's more expensive here in the US because of tariffs because
Because the worst people in the world are running the country right now and they desperately want to hide their secrets. I don't know
Something like that
I need to distract you.
I don't know.
It's some terrible shit.
Anyway, I didn't vote for him.
Mr. Znasty, thank you.
A Spartan, Reaper Shadow, Ambrose Rage, Schimmelgefuib, Mr. Zyrex, Blitz, what's up, Pacino, Zamy,
Duke, Nukum, Muddy Kana, Smimmy, thank you.
The other thing I got to talk about is there was an interesting topic that popped up where
a lot of people were like, dude, this switch to footage of FF7 rebirth is fake. This shit
is fake. And I'm like, what? And a lot of people were going back and looking at the,
um, all of the trailers and shit. And they're like, Oh, uh, dude, this is PC footage. This
is PC footage. And I'm like, what? Like, how do you explain these conclusions? Not saying
that they're AI fake, more that squared and some points in the past, when there's switch
ports of certain games, they will use like PC footage and then drop it into a Switch version,
right? Like a Switch trailer. And all of a sudden that trailer, marketing teams just do this sometimes.
There's like confusion, it isn't direct, it isn't intended to be. The future sometimes fixes it,
where they're like, okay, now this is actually the right stuff, like this, this happens. So in
the, the, the story which started spinning earlier today was that, hey, you know,
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Switch 2, it looks too good.
It looks way too good.
Like it should not look that good.
That footage is actually bullshit.
It is not what you think it is.
And it's like, huh.
So I immediately was like, really?
Because to me, I saw some telltale signs of it being upscaled, even though I'll be real.
they did show of the game looked crazy. Like, for that running on that hardware, like, again,
this shit is practically a Kindle from 2012 or some shit. It's practically a paper novel
with a battery attached to it. It's pulling some pretty insane visuals for what that system
is doing. If it's pulling resolutions close to what the PlayStation 5 was doing with its
performance mode but running at 30. That's crazy dude. People say like it looks blurry.
Yeah, did you play the PlayStation 5 version of the game? Like that shit just looked rough
until we got to PlayStation 5 Pro and subsequently the PC versions. It just looked really rough.
It always had looked rough. So PlayStation 5 Pro, you mean I mean we had you had to buy a PS5 Pro
to make FF7 look good on PS5, or else you just ran the game at 30, you know, and even at 30 it had
some frame timing issues. Anyway, um, so I don't think they're, I don't think they're bullshitting
simply because, um, Hamaguchi sort of had some receipts and it looked like already people were
talking about this and Hamaguchi was immediately like, yo, so check this out. We learned a lot from
from optimizing the game on Steam Deck.
And the game got a Steam Deck patch.
They already were working on the handheld version
of this game in anticipation
that they were gonna make a Switch 2 version.
So, and they also dropped the overall data size.
The game is 50 gigabytes less than it normally is.
So that's a big difference.
The development team is leveraging the knowledge gain
from the optimization of the Steam Deck
while also pushing forward with optimizations
for Switch 2 and working on reducing the size.
As of right now, it's just over like 100 gigabytes and gets pretty close to what FF7
remake is. Remake is a big game. It's like 90 gigs or something like that.
So they said that the amount of optimization that's gone into this has dropped it significantly.
It's around like 100. So that's a big deal. That is one-third less of a game to run the whole
last game. Interestingly enough, you have to start like looking at this other stuff.
I have to start like reviewing trailers and shit. Hold on a second. Where was that press
site? Yeah. Let me grab this. Let me grab that. Do this and grab the screenshots. Square
did release a whole bunch of screen grabs of the game, which I am going to check on
right now. Here's a great one. Download the 1080p. Looks like upscaled to 1080p image.
So this is apparently a shot of Final Fantasy 7
rebirth running on Switch 2. And as we can tell, this is the native image size of it.
I get it run at 1080p monitor or stream. So we have to zoom into it a little bit.
And as we zoom in, okay, yeah, it starts to get a little fuzzy.
The fuzziness begins. Hand held her docked. This is definitely docked.
This is 100% docked. Funny enough, I already see telltale signs of it being legit.
The particle effects and the hair are all fucked up.
Right? I'm going to be completely honest. There is a whole bunch of grain on hair.
There's grain on shadows down here, there is grain all over the grass.
There is the telltale signs of a game that is running a much lower resolution,
probably something around like a 500p, maybe 540p, and then being upscaled to 1080p.
However, this shit is running on a tablet practically.
However, what it's actually running on is insane.
And when you look at this, this will be closer to how the experience actually is if you're playing it
on a portable. It'll be about this size if you're playing it on portable, dude. That shit's crazy.
It will look so freaking good. It's insane if you're playing it on portable, especially.
So it had me curious. I'm like, dude, we have to go back. I have to go back. I have to go to
all the websites and stuff where people were saying stuff, and people started pulling up
the trailers, saying that specific versions of trailers were not accurately representing
the game. And we are at the point now where it's like, okay, so did Nintendo doctor this
footage of the game in some way, or did Square? Was this shit doctored to look better than
it actually is? Because I think that screenshot is relatively representative of what the final
image is going to be. Yeah, here was a couple more screenshots in the Reset
era thread. Same shot, right? If you zoom in on this, yeah, dude, Cloud's face is
not super legible. Are you expecting like native 4k performance out of it? No,
this looks like a 540p image upscaled to potentially a 1080p. It looks
rough when you look at it on 4k monitor as it should. It actually should. That means it's not
bullshit. The fact that it's still rendering all of this shit and having the image quality that it
does looks insane for the Switch 2. I don't know if you all remembered, but Todd Howard with his
whole ass face came up and was like, hey, we got the best games to show you on this system.
them. And then his ass pulled up footage of Fallout 4 and it looked like it was running
on a Switch 1. I was like, what the, what, huh? What the hell is going, what the shit
is going on, dude? It was unbelievable. So that's where we're at in terms of like third
party support and third party developers trying to get their games to operate and look as
as good as possible on modern hardware.
We got Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and FF7 Remake
that eventually just look like the same games
but you're squinting a little bit.
Like that's about it, which is kind of nuts.
Let me pull up the other part, which was a,
I think there was a trailer,
like a high quality trailer that they eventually found.
Rock, ally, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Let me see. There it is. Assets, where was the HQ? They actually had a 4K rendered trailer.
And it was significantly better looking. Oh, there it is. Found it. So this is the straight
from the Nintendo asset, right, that was a part of everything that got released today
for FS7 Rebirth. Are there graphics in this game bullshit? And people were looking at
this trailer saying this was PC footage. This was indeed not how the game is actually going
to look. What we're looking at right now looks way too good for how a Switch 2 usually runs
games after you just watched Todd Howard's greatest escapade. So let's look at this.
This is actually a high quality, not stream footage video of this shit.
This video is in the official Nintendo YouTube, it is.
This is the official asset before going through YouTube compression, so this is actually a
very high resolution video before it gets abolished by like, you know, Twitch and streaming
and all that kind of stuff.
unknown journey continues. The second entry in the final and yes, I immediately see several
significant downgrades in the image so that it can run on switch to texture quality and model
quality across the board is much lower, much lower. So this isn't just like, oh, we just dumped it
on it and left. And no, no, no, immediately, several things on here are compromised to make them to
to make the scene run well, which is like,
okay, so that's not bullshit.
The lighting is not as not nearly as prominent and powerful
and most of the texture work is a bit less,
which is how they're gonna do it.
Well, fantasy stuff.
What we're looking for is that
this is supposed to be bullshit according to people.
What I'm saying is that, no, this is a consolidated port
that this is how it will look on the Switch version, dude.
Seven Remake series is coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
He's alive.
And yeah, when you start to get close in on the models, it looks insane.
And again, what happens when you get close in on the models?
The switch to bro, their, their hair has the problem.
They have the same hair problems.
It has all of the same artifacting of DLSS.
So, okay.
Yeah, that's this is coming from a switch to so far.
He's alive in pursuit of his arch nemesis.
Same thing for Sephiroth.
This is an image being produced by a switch to all this.
to this as all the telltale problems ain't no way they release a trailer of this being
fake and have all of these artifacting around the hair, right?
Like no, ain't no way.
This is Sephiroth, Cloud Strife and his comrades escape the city of Medgar and embark on a
journey across.
And yeah, what's wild about this is that the hair has problems.
Don't get me wrong.
the vast world.
But holy shit, dude.
Chat, this is how the game looked on PS5 on PS5
when it launched.
It's just that on PS5, it was running at 60.
But this is legit how the game frame for frame looked.
Like no kidding.
Some minor things might be a little off.
This is incredible.
running on a switch to
my dude
this it's crazy
base ps5 yeah
traverse the planet has all the same pop in problems this is the nature of the
engine you're not gonna be able to fix that until you have the pc version and
you can actually manipulate it
but
way less npcs
straight up
there's just less npcs
I got does the first thing I noticed when cloud was wheeling around Costa del Sol.
I'm like, dude, this is not the same Costa del Sol's like that.
They've consolidated this.
They had to the fact that it still looks this good as nuts.
In a buggy or other modes of transportation.
Wow, man.
That's it.
This is insane.
Dude, this is this is crazy to me.
This might end up being like one of the best looking switch to games and what was the best looking switch to game before it was FF7 remake?
Like if this keeps up this kind of fidelity and it holds its frame rate?
I don't...
That's nuts.
This system has not shown any capability of pulling off these visuals yet. Not yet.
team up with allies in battles blending action and strategy if you'd like to
focus on the story there's also a boost dude and it's just running it has all
of the same motion blur features it has all of this stuff dude like
function to make combat easier square made a deal with the devil like that's
That's all I can come to the conclusion of. They must have, bro. They must have made a deal with the devil.
I don't know how the heck they're keeping this game to have the visual fidelity of a next-generation console version.
I don't get it. It's insanely impressive to me.
DLSS is a true hero.
Like, the fact that you will be playing this on a Switch 2
and get the majority, the exact same experience that the most of us got when it came out on PS5 is crazy.
And it will be discounted. That's crazy, dude.
This is all, this is all Switch 2.
You can tell because the hair just does not have the fidelity.
Straight up. Pear doesn't have the fidelity.
So that's why all the rest of the game, bro.
Wrong trailer. This is the trailer that was in the Nintendo Direct.
Uh, this chat. This is the trailer that was in the Nintendo Direct.
This is the one that I saw. This is the one that everyone was criticizing.
Everyone was saying that this shit looked bad.
This was the same trailer we all watched together.
And then people then criticized it and said, oh,
no, they're running compromised PC footage.
But I'm like, dude, no, it's not.
This is the, like everyone is saying it looked too good on Switch too.
I'm like, no, there were telltale signs that, yeah, at some points the stream footage looked
a little funky.
But now that we have this shit in high resolution, it's like, bro, like, what the hell?
I think this is unbelievable.
Like to be completely honest.
i think this is unbelievable for a switch to
the the system does not produce these kind of visuals for these games at a
consistent framerate
the other thing that is working out pretty good right now is the cap comports
like the resident evil stuff
is looking pretty nuts that it's running at sixty fb s
queens blood on a handheld
anyway strategy
i think there was a lot of concern for me and many others that
How the hell is part three gonna be super compromised
in terms of what you can do with its world
if it's gonna be on Switch 2, right?
If this game comes out on Switch 2,
is it just going to be not nearly as impressive of a game?
And for the most part,
if this came out day and date with the PlayStation 5 version,
you would not feel like my Switch version is terrible.
like switch to dude.
That was literally the frame the DLSS kicked in at.
Did you see that?
It was the one frame after.
So it has to enable.
Do you see it?
Terrible.
Good.
Did you see it?
It did.
It's legit.
DLSS needs one frame to catch up and it did it
and it caught up like this is a Nintendo switch
producing these visuals straight up dude.
That means it's legit.
It means it's not bullshit.
Anyway, there's an insane second trailer.
They have on Nintendo America.
Well, what anyway, I, I think everything we're seeing is legit.
And the game is actually going to run.
I don't think it'll be.
I think this game will have some issues because even the PS5 version, like.
Chat.
I can't defend FF seven tooth and nail.
Dude, you can make Final Fantasy seven rebirth chug on a PS5.
You can make it chug on a PS5 Pro. You know how? You truly unshackle the combat system.
If you unshackle the combat system of this game, there's no way for this shit to catch up with all
the crazy effects that are happening with like, Yuffie and explosions and multiple meteors and
like the amount of things that lets you do, it's possible for it to get way too crazy where even
Even the developers are like, god damn, we can't do much about that.
There's some nutty shit.
So, I mean, you can definitely make the frame rate drop if you want to.
Hold on a second, let me check it out.
There's another trailer, I get to look at this live.
Except for off his in-microphone.
Whoa!
1080 premium. Okay, chill.
Except for all those in they've got.
We fought it.
Whatever happened is alive.
This is PC. That was a cutscene.
Interesting.
I do see different footage.
Yeah.
Dude, the hair looks way too good.
Right?
They used this exact same trailer for Xbox as well.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
No, no, no.
straight up. This looks like a generic trailer. If it if it's the exact same as the Xbox
trailer. Yeah. I mean, this is CG remember we talked about there. Interesting line.
Here's the crazy part.
It already visually looks kind of rough.
It looks like the game is running in performance mode,
but at 30 FPS, you know?
It could be series S footage.
It's still a 1080 premium.
It still looks like it's running at the lowest resolution
it possibly can.
It could be series X running in performance mode.
But it doesn't, it obviously has the telltale signs of a higher base resolution, you know?
Because the console versions of this game outside of the PlayStation 5 Pro do not have
the upscaling.
They don't.
Yeah, this just looks like a completely different game.
This is not, this is not on quality mode.
No.
videos 1080p.
Completely different game.
Yeah.
I mean, cool trailer.
Well, the whole thing
Not exactly. I didn't spoil the whole thing
Cool trailer interesting choice of music to use that theme
Yeah, they just released this on and then if we go to Xbox
It's the same fucking trailer and it's in 1080p bro
Yeah, it's not even like apologetic about it. If you want the actual switch
footage of the game, it's the one we saw during the Nintendo Direct, which is
where people were saying shit. That was the initial one. I haven't even
seen these yet. This is the exact same trailer, which is interesting because it
has like all the same stuff. This is probably the reason why they choose to
keep UE4 instead of moving to UE5. Well, UE5 would have made the development just
take several more years. Yeah, that's normal. That's normal. Explain the black background
in the triple attack, though, on Xbox. You mean this? Well, you go through different
areas, right? It looks like this is not done. Wait a minute, you tell me that is a different
background than the one that is on the other one. No, it's not. It's the same thing.
The Nintendo one, it's black. It's not black in the game. Oh, okay. Well, I mean,
And it's black between both trailers.
It also isn't coming out for six months, you know?
So I don't think it's PC footage.
I think it's probably Xbox recorded footage.
It's probably coming from the Xbox version of the game and it's not done yet.
You're saying it's a different thing than the PS5 version.
Ah, okay.
Yeah.
I mean, spoilers for people around platforms?
Not really.
None of these, nothing that happens in this footage is spoilers without context.
Like, to be real.
without any of the context and none of this is technically spoilers. So yeah, I just found it
fascinating, you know. I just found it fascinating that the version of Rebirth that's effectively
coming out on Switch 2 is nuts. I think it's in unbelievable looking. I think it's also nuts that
it isn't the same price worldwide. The pre-order bonus right now is 40 bucks for most regions,
but for some reason in the US it's $49.99. That's the same thing. The Switch version is $49.99,
but the Xbox version is a little bit cheaper. For some reason the Xbox got the discount,
which is like, hmm, okay, that's fascinating. Still, I want to get my hands on that shit,
dude. Like, I really do. I want to get my hands on Rebirth on Switch 2 and see what it looks like
like in portable.
I want to see what it actually runs at in portable
because, bro, if it's running in portable,
then it's probably doing even less than 540p
and upscaling to 720p, something like that.
Yeah, the docked one is going to look pretty similar
to what the PS5 version was, at least on performance mode.
So I'm mad curious, man.
I gotta be honest, I thought it'd be 70 bucks.
You know what?
I understand why you would think that.
I'm just telling you how things kind of are.
Square has to try.
They're at a point where they have to try.
They can't sit here and just hope
that shit goes the way they want
without making any big changes or differences.
Now they're trying.
And now they've seen the direct result
of releasing some of their blockbuster games
at a cheaper price.
And guess what?
A shit ton of people buy them.
It's almost like the insanely high price premium
this stuff was preventing people from getting on board.
So, hey, you know what?
You gotta respect the effort, that's for sure.
Anyway, that's the end of the story, Chet.
Yeah, I just think if there's a state of play
that's announced in the next few days,
I think FF7 part three is probably gonna be there.
And then after that,
It's going to be a big one, dude.
It's going to be a big one.
Crazy as rebirth is almost two years old, by now it is.
Like no shit.
It legit is.
Rebirth is about to be two years old and it feels like that shit just came out.
Do you think it would just be a title reveal?
That would be disappointing.
If it was just a title reveal, chat.
Let's just, this is review.
Hold on.
We're quick to review.
on what is potentially the cusp of this shit happening. You know, I'm going to start really
freaking out about this. My expectations are in check. They're in check mother. My expectations
are in check right now. But if that state of play gets announced, I'm going nuclear. My
My bitch-ass is going nuclear, um, cannot believe we got this close.
We're gonna get something similar to this.
Bro, three years ago, four years almost.
Jesus, this was almost four years ago, chat.
We're going to get something like this.
I'm calling that I died that I'm some kind of imposter
You were here with me. I just said reclaim. Where are you?
What happened to you? I'm trying so hard to find you
Sorry
feel like I feel
Yeah, but the return shit has been everywhere too, you know they've been they've been doing
this forever chat. It's almost like it's intentional. Like the my first prediction was reunite.
That was my og prediction like right after beating the game sometime after it changed
my prediction now has been the same thing for the past two years. I think it's returns.
I think it's just a good sounding name.
I think it's Returns.
But let's just say what's on the table.
Reunion's the obvious one, which it most likely isn't
because of too much conflict.
Returns, return returns, reunite, reclaim, reborn.
But reborn is way too similar to rebirth.
So, resolved, there's an issue, too many, what is it, syllables, too many, I'm bad at
the naming the things of naming the words.
Remake, rebirth, return, you know, it needs to be relocate, it can't be multi, it can't
Recycle, like there's too many.
Takes too long to say it.
Reset, yay, there you go, that lines up.
Reclaim, yeah.
Resolve, yeah.
Renew, yeah.
Refund.
Yeah, you know, you have to think of it like that.
Their name conventions are not going to wildly change.
It's not going to be like Revengeance or anything like that.
So either way, I think we're getting a trailer
like this, and then subsequently what's gonna happen at Summer Games Fest in, uh, like four-ish months.
Who's gonna be in a trailer like this?
Tifa is dead?
Red Thirteen is dead?
Like, have ever this shit?
Tifa is dead? Red Thirteen is dead?
Everybody's dead?
massive tornado which swept through sector zero one and two amidst the
wreckage of each of these bodies dead. You know why they died right? They didn't have
cloud to help them out. That's why they didn't die. And that's why this
world falls apart because nothing lines up. It's doomed to exist because
cloud wasn't there to help them. Where'd they go? They're pretty much cooked and
it doesn't what we learn at the end of FF7 Reaper is that it doesn't really
matter. This shit doesn't actually show the reaction.
Damn it. The what happens in these events doesn't technically
matter, because it just goes away. Hold on. FF seven. Damn it.
This is gonna be hard to find.
Fine. I'm watching my trailer of the trailer.
Hey, I want to be excited about this stuff, but I just we just
don't know if it's gonna happen. So you know, we have to like temper our expectations, right?
Shut up you dumb bitch.
It's temper your expectations, Chad.
Shut up you dumb bitch.
Yeah, chill out. Just chill.
I was my Conan phase, Chad. Oh, sorry, my Conan phase. I was trying to become Conan O'Brien. I was
going to like take his place at something and just like act like him.
This game comes from a studio that surprised the world and redefined the RPG genre
with its iconic characters and rich storytelling.
I want to thank them for this trailer for one of gaming's most anticipated
upcoming releases.
This could be a lot of things.
Rumors were true.
Look at, look how much Jeff lost. Look at this smug asshole.
Look at this guy. Look at him. Look at, he's like, bitch, I got the Final Fantasy 7 trailer.
Look at him. He's like, I got it. I got it. He's so proud of himself.
He's like, I love World Premiere's. I like old games. Oh boy, I got it.
It's funny that he's so not in tune directly with like all the modern gaming sphere stuff
But when it comes to like all the old OG stuff from the 90s and the 2000s and shit, it's like oh, yeah
This could be a lot of things bro
ARRATH IS DEAD!
What is happening?
Oh my god!
Oh, Jesus Christ!
What the fuck?
Dude, chill!
Shit! Oh my god, I'm losing it.
I am losing it.
I don't believe it, man. I don't believe what I'm looking at.
I'm gonna watch him interact with this.
Not good.
He's not reacting hard enough.
He's gonna tell us everything.
Joe they're connected to set rock shadows of the man
This isn't like running around we fought it whatever happened. He's alive, but I come back now
After five years doing who knows what
Well
Oh, Mithril Cain's boss? Let's go!
Dude, the music! The combat!
She may be new, but she's still a turkey.
of
the
of
the
all the dual tax for the first time
I died, Dodd! I don't even!
They say she's a monster, that she can peer inside you, into the very depths of your soul.
That she can become those you hate, those you fear, those you love.
three.
You murdered my dad.
You burned my village.
Do you know that I killed her?
So, who is she?
Oh my god.
Yeah, that was a good trailer, Jeff.
Yeah, that was a good chunky reveal. It really was. Three minutes of just like straight gameplay
and shit, bro. That's a good trailer. Go back to the comm scene and see the table.
Do you mean if it's still messed up?
I mean, it's not.
Yeah.
Yeah, you see the obvious drop in quality
from the Switch version.
YouTube died?
No, it didn't.
Well, the third one had three disks.
I mean, I don't, I don't know.
I don't know. Will it have three discs?
Bro.
Is it true you predict the title of Rebirth?
Yeah, but anybody could have done that.
I think the next game will be consolidated a bit.
And I think that the PC version will probably have a option.
They could do that.
The PC version could have an option
of how big you want the game to actually be.
That would make sense.
if it's like, yeah, okay, so you do want to,
you want to download the high quality texture pack.
It's going to be like, it's going to be 60 gigs, dude.
If you want to download the high quality texture pack
for PC, like wilds, yeah, but on wilds,
it's not nearly that big.
It's like 20 gigs on wilds, dude.
This game's going to be 60 to 80 gigs.
It's going to be massive.
Chat, have you ever checked out the high quality texture
packs from fans and seen how big they get?
If you download, like FF7 Rebirth's already 150 gigabyte game,
right?
If you download a high quality texture pack
of FF7 Rebirth, which exists,
people went in and upscaled every goddamn texture
in the entire friggin' game.
And it looks way better.
It does.
It looks way better.
Bro, it adds nearly 200 gigabytes.
Like, without access to the technology
and the engine to downscale in some way,
It literally makes the game up to like about 350 gigs,
just on rebirth.
And you have to download it in like 60 gig chunks.
Where can you find these texture packs?
Just Google it, FF7 rebirth or FF7 remake,
high quality texture packs or 4K texture packs.
And they're up on game banana.
They're up on the usual sites, you know?
Can I run it?
Dude, I ran it on a remake.
I ran it on remake.
And it added 70 gigs to the game 70 hold on a second. Let me see
Nexus mods
So yeah, these exist
4k slash 8k texture collections, and they just, it dramatically increases the entire file size of the game.
All of the textures across the board are significantly bigger and more heavy.
However, when you get down to the actual size of it, it's huge.
Like, it, how big is this one?
They're 150 gigs for the latest revision.
150 gigabytes, it's bigger than the core game itself.
That's why it has to be built into
the technology in some way that you can make textures look good because it's just so expensive.
It's way too expensive, man.
Two terabytes for the base game, practically.
So anyway, this is why we need things like natural DLSS and upscaling, they will add
that information in between without having to have the core shit, you know?
So Killer Monk, thank you.
Part three will be three syllables to make a total of seven syllables of all three titles.
You can see it.
They mentioned they were able to decrease the file size of the game.
How does that happen?
Pretty much in texture work, I don't, I don't think they're using the same textures
as the PC version and the Xbox version.
I think they had to make smaller textures.
They had to make lower quality textures for most of the game and just rely on their
compression and their DLSS to allow it to upscale to a point where it kind of makes
sense. Technology will change every couple of years, you know, and it's been a while
since the game came out.
Talk about the new RE4R update. What about it? RE4R? Resident Evil 4 Remake? So yeah.
Yeah, I think that's just what we're getting, man. I think that's just what we're getting
if this shit is happening. Oh, the TGS trailer.
Fishes follow-up to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 remake.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It might be.
You'll see it's in store for one of next year's most anticipated games.
You think?
Okay, here we go. I'll shut up.
The world's ending.
At least that's what everyone's saying.
This guy, I don't like it.
Ready to fire, sir.
Welcome to the New World Order.
him. Oh, it talks. So, you hear the call. Yeah, you can see the brother. What? What?
What about what? Yeah, I ask because I suspect their soldiers suffering from cellular degradation.
still not me to see. You know the truth. Trust in me.
Sephiroth!
What is that? He's a big guy! Come on!
Dude, this is a beach!
Did you know that the Midgar's Zolom? The only reason it's called the Midgar's Zolom
was that it was a translation goof of it being Midgar Sormer, you know?
The only reason it's called the Midgar Zolom is that it's supposed to be all of the all of what is it?
The the FF7 lore is completely built around God of Warship.
So yeah, it's all Nordic.
Everything in FF7 is like Nordic in origin.
So, the Zolom was always supposed to be Midgar Sormer.
It's the world serpent, yeah.
I forgot they sing.
This trailer is insane.
Dude, this trailer is insane.
All the rest in the sky, same as the clouds blind in the OG.
What is everything up to now?
Piercing the mind back together, removing.
We're so far the second over.
The game continues the same point of the deal in the OG.
I mean, you could.
That is not a coincidence, I don't think.
I think the whole sky looking the exact same way
that it is of clouds mind prison sequence,
that is definitely not a coincidence, dude.
This 30-year cook ship, like, bro.
Bro.
FF7 is the only Japanese game you've seen where the devs actually went back into the
pre-rendered CG and make it lip-sync in English.
I know.
Did they do it for any other languages, chat?
the CG sequences, they lip sync them in English.
So they're also done in Japanese if you switch the language,
but do any of the other languages actually have lip syncing?
Only English, okay.
Still, it's way more effort than they've ever put in.
The entirety of Advent Children and movies like that
are all the voice actors doing their best
to make their lines of dialogue look like it lines up
with the lips that are only gonna be moving
to the Japanese. So, yeah.
Freaking crazy!
I mean, when worlds merge, I'm waiting, clown.
Ah! What is this?
I think we'll finally have an ending to this story.
There's too much happening!
Yeah, no, I think it ends.
I'm waiting, clown.
I think this is it.
That the developers are saying that, like, this is it.
Like they've, especially from Kitase, like they've literally talked about how they want this stuff to conclude.
And yeah, like this is it.
There might be some other things like down the road, but in terms of the Final Fantasy VII story and the continuation from the compilation of Final Fantasy VII, which this is, this is the game that's supposed to put all that shit together.
And Dirge doesn't come after this chat.
Dirge is older.
This stuff technically comes after Dirge.
And that is practically admitted without an official statement saying directly as such
This is the last part of the ff7 compilation, you know
And it is kata says like potential final project with ff7 potentially one of his last projects in general
So this is it dude like I
Don't think we're getting advent children DLC. I
Think there's just gonna be a playable advent children part of this game
I legit think you're gonna unlock the fusion sword for cloud and also can use that in gameplay like I think they'll fucking do it when
realistically
When why would you save anything anything's on the table at this point? You know why would you wait if there's no more games?
Why would you hold things back? This has to be it?
This has to be it. People have been people have been asking for playable advent children shit since that shit came out and
The closest we ever got was literally the end of remake part one
closest we ever got
So this is it dude. There's no other opportunities for them to have to utilize this stuff in a meaningful emotional impactful way
There's no way. This is where you use it. So
I mean I
Mean
Good building, the future start to be a quest.
I don't know if it will be, I think it'll just be like an unlock.
I don't think it will, I think there will be a point in the story chat.
You know how the beginning of Rebirth starts, where you're playing as Zack with a completely
different move list and all this crazy shit he can do, all these charge commands and stuff.
You begin with Zack with all this nutty shit.
And you don't ever get to use him again until the very end of the game.
So it's like his gameplay is almost specifically for that shit.
I think they can do that same exact thing with a cloud sequence, where he is utilizing
fusion sword with unique fusion sword mechanics.
He doesn't have Punisher mode anymore.
He has Fusion mode.
And imagine if Fusion mode separates the swords, and they all scatter.
And the whole point is to build up each sword to do something, and cloud would attack and
go to each sword and grab each one and by the time you combine them all together, it
gives you like your buffed out. You turn into some wild shit. So it's like, yeah, like
why would he have Punish Mode? He would have Fusion Mode, where the swords all stick into
the ground around him and it's practically knocked his shit. Yeah. So like, there's
no reason why that can't happen. Their gameplay, dude, they made Kate Sith work as a character
gameplay wise like come on so I I legit think they will make it playable I
legit think they'll make it playable because that seems fun that seems fun
to design a gameplay system around like so what if Claude has seven swords you
know I think fusion I think the fusion sort of seven swords what if Claude has
seven swords what do you what do you do with that you know
February?
Oh thank God.
We hope you enjoyed that new look at Final Fantasy Sanary.
It's a month from Tekken!
It's a place you should have at February 29.
Dude, they gave me a month!
We played a lot of Tekken in that month, that's for sure.
Anyway.
This is the December trailer.
Yeah.
I don't know man.
You know, Punisher Mode gets read into something else?
I could see it.
Is the Fusion Sword an OG?
FF7 at all?
No, not at all.
Not at all.
All of that shit is...
All of that shit is specifically from Advent Children.
Your camera makes you bright as the sun.
Sometimes this one right here right now,
yeah, that's because of it's messed up.
My lens is being stupid with its ISO hold.
Anyway, Rebert didn't get any delays.
Nope, it did not.
No, FF7 Remake got delayed, but not this one.
Have you feeling that might use the Smash amiibo for skins?
Version one unlocks in battle polygon skin.
Version two unlocks in children's skin.
Sephiroth amiibo unlocks in critical mode.
Could be neat.
That was a, it was, that as much wasn't a COVID delayed.
That game launched fucked up.
Like they, they were able to hide
as much fucked up shit as possible.
But yeah, like there was the,
they were running into unreal problems,
which the game shipped with.
Sometimes textures didn't load correctly.
That's what they were trying to fix, dude.
And they got the game working the door,
but they wouldn't be able to fix it until later.
Let's get more in-game outspits in part three.
I agree.
Yeah, that shit was fun.
That shit was fun.
The door is practically a character.
What door?
Watch the latest FF7 video put up on Switch.
We check out the Switch version of FF7 Remake.
I have an entire history of the door.
Literal history of the door.
No fusion sword yet.
No, not yet.
Not yet.
Color customization, like Chocobo Outfits would be neat.
Didn't they do that?
Didn't Chocobo Outfits actually legit
have color customization on them?
I think they did.
I think they had that.
Almost forgot.
There was a ton of things that you can do in Rebirth.
Cloud is going to be in the new Smash for sure.
Nowadays, I think there's a very high likelihood
just based on how Square has been acting as a heads-up chat,
those bitches made a ton of money on that Magic the Gathering crossover.
That was another thing in their financial report recently that they're
they're making a ton of money off of their, what is it,
royalties, off of royalty charges and yeah paid off pretty well.
So you could definitely see them allowing that to be a thing a little bit more than usual.
Do you think they'll add materia plus buff when maxing out materia?
No. You know what I think what happens in the next part? Here's one of my hopes.
We need to make a big list of like, I actually need to make a list of the things I hope change
in the next game that they allow us to play with. Outside of obvious things like the high wind,
Some legit, when you max out a materia in part three, it should make another one.
It should make another one.
It should birth new materia.
That's what happens in the OG game.
And that has not happened yet.
So we are still stuck in the, in the, in the OG game, you would get some of the most powerful
materia, but you just have one of them, right?
Quadra magic, all that kind of shit, Mime, W summon, double attack, triple attack, whatever,
right?
how do you solve that in the old games? How do you get more of it? You have to
level it up until it grows a new one and then you can make a new one. You could
also do some interesting yeah crazy crisis core shit with materia fusion
and somehow get it more buffed out but there's two things I want to change the
materia in the next game. I want you to be able to get more cool materials like
synergy. Yeah we need more synergy materials and shit dude straight up.
There needs to be more synergy.
There needs to be all more magnifies.
They should be hard to get.
They should be difficult to acquire.
They should take time to get.
I'm completely fine with that,
but let us break the shit out of the game.
Yeah, Nico said it.
Let us break the game.
Every single aspect of FF7 part one and part two
has been to keep things constrained,
where it's like, okay, we don't want you
to break this game too much.
So we're gonna be very specific
on how much magnify you can get.
We're gonna be very specific
on how much synergy you can get.
Synergy, like materials, right?
And they don't let you go past that
because it effectively breaks their game.
Dude, no.
Let us break the game.
Let us find crazy combinations.
Like, go nuts.
Please.
Expedition 33 did that pretty well.
Oh, dude, all older games do this.
Like, this isn't a unique thing just for like, FF7.
Oh, OGFF7 lets you do this.
This is the last game, man.
Just make it hard to grind.
Make us have to go find the places
where we have to go grind and do this shit
and find ways to make our characters like crazy powerful
and stuff like I'm totally down.
I'm totally down.
So yeah, I really hope so.
Dude, imagine subtext, you just said that.
Imagine if it's like a thing that's attached
to beating the game where like after you beat the game,
They design the entire experience around having so much materia and your trials with it.
But imagine if you accomplish something like beat the game the first time,
and when you go through in hard mode, now as you go through in hard mode or whatever,
now there's materia growth.
All the materia you have that are maxed out will now birth a new materia.
And hard mode now does something different. It has like a new gimmick.
That'd be great, dude.
That's even more incentivization to do cool shit.
Hard mode allowing for actual material growth in New Game
Plus would be badass.
That would be super sick.
Yeah, let us prestige material.
That's all it is.
That was in the original game.
It was in the original game.
Just to prestige a materia, and it makes you a new one.
You start back over.
Here's a new one, but you start back over.
That'd be the best hard mode implemented so far.
Yeah, and my biggest concern is that the New Game Plus
hard modes that they have done historically, didn't change that much.
Hard mode was a little bit easier in rebirth because you had more opportunities
to recover MP, right?
You can add you had benches and shit, but they were very similar.
Like the whole point is that, okay, play through the game without items.
And that's mostly it.
Higher difficulty, no more items.
Figure it out.
And I'm down for that.
But I think that's completely fine, but it's like, I want a new gimmick.
I actually would like a brand new gimmick around it to really allow us to break open
the system.
Trophy Hunters, good luck on part three.
You just have to wait until the game gets eventually, allows for the 9999 damage mode,
or 999, yeah, 9999 damage mode.
Yeah, material loadouts are obvious. We already, they've already said that's coming.
We don't, I don't even think we need to worry about it. They said that was
coming like a few months after when they are in Saudi and they, they had that big
interview. They already said they've heard the request for material loadouts and
they said it's a thing they'll tackle in the next game. That, that shit legit sucks.
Like playing through rebirth and remake again without the first time through
legit sucks when you get new parties and stuff and new party members and you're
like, bro, this shit sucks, man, you know, you spend so much time in the menu, dude,
they have to address it.
They have to make the swapping of materia between party members significantly easier.
Hard mode of the last boss fight.
Yeah, because each one of your characters is given all the shit, like they're, they're
good stuff.
How big is remade?
Rebirth part three.
biggest part three going to be that's been bigger than rebirth?
Technically, yeah.
And that's because of the revisiting of existing areas.
There's a lot to cover.
They have not as much work to do.
That's the crazy part is that they figured out how the world works and shit.
Okay.
However, if you start to think about it, the amount of new places that we go to is still
somewhat small, but you pretty much revisit almost every single big location in the subsequent
parts of the story, with also having like a new very big Wu Tai.
Wu Tai is going to be going through a world war, which is very different than the original.
So it almost has to be, dude.
Like, however, there's ways for it not to feel as insane.
There is ways.
If they just, if Chadley dies, like if you literally lose Chadley and his sister bot,
They, I, that game changes a lot, like a lot, you won't, they literally set it up at the
end of the game.
I mean, most people don't do the entirety of that side quest.
Most people don't go through the entirety of the Chadley side quest because it ends with,
it ends with Gilgamesh.
So the whole point of his side quest is that it eventually boils down that Hojo has been
spying on the party throughout the entire game through Chadley, he still has control of Chadley.
He's making like dark Chadley or some weird shit. He's making like an evil version.
And Chadley starts contemplating the idea of like, what happens when I die? Does the planet accept me?
So he starts saying that himself. And I'm like, Oh my God, dude, there's death flags all over the
place. Holy shit. So I said how funny would it be if this kid that talks more
than any single person in this entire 150 hour game if they make us feel bad
about him dying in the next game? I think that's what they're gonna do. I
think they're gonna try to make chat the relationship we've had with
Chadley somewhat like appreciative in some way. They're gonna try to make you
feel really bad that he's gone. They're going to do their best. I don't know if that's going
to hit for everybody, but I think they're going to try because a big part of the next
game is, I think, going to be exploration. And chat straight up, if that is a part of
the marketing material, we are in the best timeline with this hair in my mouth. We are
in the best timeline. Like, if they start part of the marketing material of the game
in the world and all this shit, if they start using the terms like exploration, like true,
if they start using words like true exploration in their marketing efforts of like exploring
the vastness of this world and everything that it has to offer and secrets. And if they start
using discovery and secrets and all that kind of shit, then, oh dude, Chadley's big dead,
he's gone. And this game is going to be as close to the OG FF seven as possible,
where there is truly missable stuff.
If they start including shit like missable content,
if they start saying things like,
including several things that are missable,
like Elden Ring style and shit,
then that is like, oh my God,
we are legit in the best timeline.
Holy shit, we are here.
Like all of those concerns and shit like that
that we've had over time,
you could miss Nights of the Round.
Like that could happen.
They could make it part of the story where they talk about it
or it's like alluded to, but they don't give it to you.
You have to find out how to get that shit eventually, bro.
I think summons will be integral to the story.
I think it will.
I think straight up, the Knights of the Round
is going to be some sort of like ancient materia
that the setra used or some shit to stop Jenova before.
The Knights of the Round are likely the thing
that put Jenova into the ground,
that prevented it from,
where they put it in the Stratus or whatever.
I legit think that's what they're gonna do with it.
Knights of the Round was what did it,
but they're not gonna,
they're gonna show something crazy happen,
but they're not going to give it to you
because a lot of that extra shit is going to be missable.
The Emerald weapon, the Ruby weapon,
they already teased that shit in the previous game.
I don't think that's such a part of the story, man.
I don't.
I think they're gonna make that shit as optional
it wasn't the original. Do you think any areas from the OG will get cut from part 3, the Bone Village?
No, I think everything's going to be there. I legit do. I legit think the Bone Village is
a place that you consistently come back to with coordinates of like people burying their treasure
and guess what the ultimate coordinate is? This is a wild take chat. Ready?
I think at some point at the very end of the game, one of the hardest fights in the game
is in the Benora crater, which will have to be there. The crater that Shinra creates in
Crisis Core, or they like blow a hole in Benora and wipe it off the map. And I think you'll be
able to visit it, but it won't be anything. There'll be nothing there. Imagine if at some point,
very, very, very late in the game. You get a coordinate for some thing and you go dig it up in the Bone Village and it's Genesis is
stored or some shit. Like, whoa, what the hell is this and nobody knows how to use it. Nobody knows anything about it. What if you brought
that sword to the Benora Crater or some shit. And it and it brings up a Genesis like like
crazy like Genova like boss fight similar to how like Weiss sort of is they brought back
Weiss and made him kind of cool even though he's a piece of shit. Imagine if they did
that with Genesis and that's the only little bit you get a Genesis throughout the whole
game. He's a he's a wild ass optional super boss. And you go and you find him from a sword
relic or something that would be fucking amazing. That's the best way that you could do the genesis
shit in my opinion. Bro, imagine that this that's the kind of potential we're talking about here.
Like there's all all bets are off like clear the table dude like this is it. So if you've
you've ever had any cool ideas for FF7. This is the fucking game, dude. Yeah, Genesis should
be like straight up like the ultra boss. I think he should be. You still think clouds
gonna die? No, no, I don't. That's a big brain shit. I don't it just it just seems so cool.
Just seems like damn if you want to bring back and why do I feel that way just because
that's what they did with Weiss. Weiss was the previous super boss, right? He was the
previous like big boss of dirge or one of them. I yeah dude like and he they turned
him into a VR super boss because he is just a hojo vtuber. So but every aspect of that
whites fight was amazing. Every every part of it was mad cool. And it was like damn.
This is neat. This is pretty cool. Gilgamesh and rebirth was way better. I mean he was
He was great. I really enjoyed that that that was an extra thing. They added to that game because they needed a super boss in part two and that didn't exist
Straight up. They needed some big-ass fight. They had they stuck in King behemoth
Or the behemoth into part one and they also stuck in to integrate the expansion to the game
They gave us a vice which was like, oh cool. So here. Where are your new super bosses?
technically they're in VR, which is a little unfortunate like Sephiroth is actually the
legit super boss of the game in the final VR mission. But putting Gilgamesh, which is a
completely new thing into the story in some way, I think, I think it also makes a lot of
sense that Gilgamesh's story isn't over. I think that bitch can be tied to Knights of the Round
straight up. The guy's all about collecting weapons throughout different worlds and eras
and shit. So I, I think he's the thing that like bridges the gap to begin the Knights of
the Round final side quest or some shit, the biggest side quest you get. It just makes
sense. It doesn't seem like he's gone by the end of his story. Yeah, he has Excalibur.
Yeah, he's fucking with the Knights straight up. He knows them. They're like friends and
shit. KYX, thank you. Genesis should be fightable if you find a copy of Loveless.
Angiel should be fightable if you fight the last month. This was DNA in it.
It shouldn't even be named, just his friend and his comrade. Yeah, but fighting Angiel doesn't
make any sense. That's my only issue. Like, we don't have beef with Angiel and Angiel never
really has like beef with you. Angiel's never a character where you feel like we have to stop him.
No, no, I don't know. And I don't know. And this doesn't feel right.
Angelo's like kind of a lost soul character. Yeah, you don't really want to fight him.
However, this is another huge ass brain theory.
I mean, we're just spitballing here chat. I think, I think Cloud turns into Sephiroth.
I think he goes like full, near full transformation. Instead of him just handing over the black
materia and getting puppeted like the OG game, we've been watching Cloud turn into Sephiroth,
like at several points throughout part one and part two, like close to it. And we never,
the only time, the first time you ever see the character go through that shit is in Advent Children,
where his eyes start changing and shit and he's got the geostigma shit in his arm
and they emulate that again in remake and it happens again in rebirth. You know how cloud,
you know, how cloud kills, you know, how Sephiroth at the beginning of rebirth in the flashback
nearly kills Tifa and like cuts her down and slices her in the blood and all that shit,
that camera angle. That's the exact same camera angles when you're in Gongaga with cloud and
any slices Tifa into the Mako reactor. It's the exact same shots. It's like Tifa falling
back, wide shot, cloud wakes up, oh god, I'm a piece of shit. Like, oh, they're just leading
us on that cloud's going to turn into stuff throughout at some point. Why is that important?
Because eventually, hold up. And this is an interesting little, I love this little tidbit.
FF7 First Soldier.
In Final Fantasy VII, the First Soldier, there is some wild shit.
Shout out to Subtex for finding this shit.
There is a wild thing in this game.
This is the failed Final Fantasy VII BR, right?
But there is a thing that you can do.
Not it.
This is it.
In an area full of crazy ass whispers,
you run into this guy.
He has no name.
He has no backstory.
And it's literally just cloud with like a crazy-ass one-blowing red-eye
Literally dark cloud
All I'm saying is that there's like void cloud all I'm saying is that I think this shit happens at some point in part 3
I think cloud completely turns by the time he gets to the Northern crater and
And then someone's got to fight cloud.
And I think it'll be Zach and we use Zach.
I think Zach's going to have to fight cloud and he's going to be the one that probably wins.
Yeah, that'll be a great.
Matt, just imagine this shit, right?
Just imagine that. Where the shit can go?
The Zach die again.
Zack is presumably alive in the one existing timeline that's at the end of the game.
There is no direct confirmation that the end of the game has multiple different worlds
that still exist.
However, Sephiroth says multiple times that this is a convergence of worlds and we're
reuniting the worlds.
Everything's coming together as one.
So Zack is seemingly alive in some mystery place.
He's in the church, dude.
He's in Midgar.
else is off doing their shit on the other side of the planet. But Zach is alive somewhere
and it's like Arith, Lifestream Arith like saved him, put him over here. So it's like
damn bro. Damn, like that shit could definitely happen. So anyway, imagine if you play as Zach
and he has a DMV mechanic. Yeah. Conflictry. Imagine if it says conflict resolved if Zach.
Here's the thing that that doesn't even that doesn't even seem weird to me
because they released crisis. They re-release crisis core dude, which is a game that seemingly
might be kind of fucking spoilery, but they re-release the game. They remade the whole goddamn
thing so that you would know, so that all of that stuff can have an emotional resonance
on you as you play through the remake trilogy.
That's the only reason they do it, because the shit that they have set up for the remake
trilogy is even bigger than the initial presumptions, if not reveals that FF7 offers.
All the side story detail stuff about cloud and shit.
So now we know, now most people will be aware of what that shit means.
Zycon, thanks for the 25.
On hard mode, you can turn off the Zac, other world flashes, but if you have that turned
off when getting in a trap for him, you miss the Cloud on Earth, goodbye world, I miss
it in my hard mode playthrough.
I'm much loved.
Wow.
On hard mode, when you turn off the Zac flashes, because you can, he's completely optional.
You can just disable them.
You, oh.
know why because they don't matter anymore. Because they were never real. Even the cloud
and Eryth one is bullshit. Eryth says it's bullshit. Subtext, follow me here. When you
play through on hard mode, the Zac, you can disable the Zac flashbacks. You just don't
have to watch them like they're unimportant. But if you disable those, you also do not
get the chapter 14 Eryth saying goodbye to cloud as Sephiroth is looming on her.
All these like dream worlds and shit that aren't actually real, that don't have like past future presence.
They don't technically matter anymore. You still do, he's wrong.
I'm really curious because I've never disabled those. I'm very much wondering.
I am that is that is definitely some heavy-ass lore implication. I need a save file. How would I
check that? I haven't beaten the game on hard mode yet. I've never disabled it. I've never beaten the
game on hard mode. Does anybody have PS5? I am when you do your hard mode just disable it to find
out I'll have to that'll be something to look forward to I've not actually beaten
hard but I'm still saving it dude I could download a save file but I have to
like replace mine what's the implication of that it was already presumed that this
Zach stuff that happens in his world doesn't technically matter because they
are like fictional worlds they're made up of like memories and stuff like that
but they're not like alternative timelines or dimensions.
They're sort of like places of existence in the livestream
that exist and then don't exist.
They're just like blown out of existence.
It's like the place where people go before they
like they eventually like move on to the livestream
like in the, what's it called, in after death, you know?
So, purgatory sorda, but they could be happy.
It could be like, it's like a limbo area is what it seems like.
So they technically don't have a lot of like value, but they are places that you can hide
shit, right?
That's what's revealed.
shit over there. So their implication, if chapter 14 does not show up with all the other
Zach's world shit not showing up, is that even those, to me, if that is true, it sort
of means like there is one thing in the end. There's only one thing, and it's the thing,
Right?
We're in one spot, the spot.
Cloud having a white materia without a dream stuff
would be weird, though.
Yeah, but we've already seen Cloud in his head dream shit.
Right?
That was in part one, the white background stuff,
which is mimicking the OG game.
If you're talking about, like, where does Tifa go?
She visits a world where cloud is losing his goddamn mind.
Yeah?
Interesting.
Yeah, let me know Blitz if it works for you.
I'm curious.
That is fascinating.
It's just fascinating to hear.
We don't have the answers for this story stuff.
These are the things that the devs have left explicitly
unanswered.
And that's because, again, subtext had a great video
on this, which is the best FF7 video,
the one that I talked about.
The whole thesis of part one is that it's all about fate
and the lining up with fate,
and then eventually we can change fate.
Like we are not bound by fate anymore, you know?
That's part one.
The antithesis, the antithesis of that is in part two,
Oh shit, actually things sort of line up.
Like you really can't change things that much, you know?
And that's where we kind of feel in part two.
Some things are different,
but actually stuff doesn't change that much.
So where does that leave part three?
What actually changes?
What are we in control of?
Now we get the answer, you know?
The final part is a synthesis of these two,
the thesis and the antithesis.
Are we bound by fate?
Are we not bound by fate, you know?
kind of shit. Are we bound to the OG FF7 or are we not? And that is kind of what the first
two games set up. And in a similar fashion, I completely acknowledge that because the second
game is the middle part of a trilogy, that isn't exactly satisfying. It's not a satisfying
immediate conclusion. It's not satisfying to be to a lot of people to be put as cloud. The
player is cloud, we have to accept that we do not get to be given the scene of giving away
erythenship. It's not there. You don't get it yet. So you have to wait.
So it's like, okay. All right. The end game should be the game turning into OGFF7. I mean,
it could. It definitely could. It's so much more interesting than it is being the exact same shit.
But then we would just be talking about like the biggest conversation we would be having
right now chat would be like, I wonder if Tifa and Scarlet are going to slap each other.
That would be the, I wonder if we're going to fight the Ruby weapon.
I wonder if we're going to get a gold chocobo, are they going to take out Rocket Town?
that would be the extent of the conversations.
And they would effectively end about three to four weeks
after the second game is over.
And nobody would say anything about the game
until the next game came out.
And it's like, yeah, we're still gonna have
all those conversations still,
but now there's like so much more of just like,
so wait a minute, but they could also do this,
but they could also do that.
This shit can happen.
Damn, Wagief, thanks for the 10 gift subs,
dude, appreciate it.
I think I have a golden chocobo.
Anyway.
Damn dude, I can't wait.
We're actually at the beginning of knowing if this shit's going to continue or not.
But for real, is Tifa going to slap Scarlet?
Dude, they'll make it into like a fighting game or some shit.
They'll have mechanics.
I wouldn't even be surprised if the Scarlet Tifa minigame is emulating...
The fighting arcade game that you play in part two
It could even have the same mechanics
It should turn into the second
Occupy blank. Thank you for the five Zach in the p3 is a side quest to stop the other worlds
From doing incursions means he fights Genesis invading from the crisis core world
That would be some TV a shit, right?
That would be some straight-up TV a shit the only reason I'm not on board with like the other world stuff like all
all seeding in is because it seemingly has already happened.
Like they proposed the idea that there was all these other
worlds and shit and then Sephiroth literally says
that he's converging them.
He's bringing them all together for something, for some event.
So having that stuff like crossover in weird ways,
like it could happen, but it feels like that was the point
of the end of part two.
Imagine Cloud's awakening when you get that clear material,
Hell yeah, bro.
In a week, yeah, that's the crazy part.
In a week, we might be breaking down the trailer
to line up with all of our hopes and dreams
over the past two years.
That's crazy.
In a week, we could be there.
Literally breaking down what any of this should be.
Just from the title alone, just by knowing the title itself
alone is huge implications as far as where the story goes.
Just the just FF7, whatever the fuck.
TYH, thank you.
Two hour breakdown incoming.
Ah, that'll likely be a, it's probably going to be like a minute and a half trailer or less.
And it will probably turn into like a full five hour stream.
Like FF7, whatever the fuck.
What's happening in a week?
Um, potentially there's a state of play.
And if there is a state of play, there might be a new FF7 game, which lines up to the discounting of the rebirth, which just happened.
The only reason to discount rebirth is that you know people are going to jump on and buy it for adoption, and that would be because they're showing off a new game.
We got to do nights of the round podcast again. I'm down. Yeah, I'm down. Just the theory
craft. What could be in it? I think they actually here's the thing. Final Fantasy 7 part three
is going to be way further along in development than remake. I'm sorry, rebirth was when they
first showed that teaser where they just showed cloud and Sephiroth walking up, uh, walking
up the Nebelheim reactor. That was pretty early in development and they had that polished.
So they showed like a little bit of gameplay, but now do they clearly are much further along
gameplay wise?
Because they figured out how the world works, man.
Did you see the new Ever Crisis cutscenes?
I've seen a few of them.
Yeah.
I've seen a few.
I saw where the Sephiroth stuff is, like the origins of the Masamune, all that shit, yeah, it's good.
None of it eventually boiled down to the crazy ass reveal, because I think it concluded.
Nothing eventually boiled down to the crazy ass reveal that was at the end of 2024, when you saw Sephiroth hanging out at the
education, reflecting on his life and shit. It was like, what the hell? No, nothing, nothing
insane like that eventually happened.
Yo, Shadow, thanks for the 35. Damn, God, glad you got, glad you Final Fantasy fans are happy.
Y'all deserve it. Type in this as Kingdom Hearts 4 is yet to receive any trailer after four years. I
I hope you're having a good time and don't take this for granted.
Cries more that that's that picture of that one kid and he's like, happy for you.
Glad you're feeling great.
And it's just like, it's that one thing three shot of a kid.
Congratulations.
Just bitter.
What's that meme called chat?
Oh, what a second.
Happy for you.
Meme.
Yeah.
This is totally a congrats.
This is totally it.
These are definitely, this is definitely Kingdom Hearts fans right now.
Definitely is, dude. Congrats. Happy for you. Nice.
I mean, yeah. I sympathize with you guys. You bitches are tortured souls. I legit do.
I thought that sucks. I legit think it sucks to be a Kingdom Hearts fan and not that your shit sucks
I'm not I'm not judging the quality of your shit. I'm just saying what you guys have to put up with is insane
That shit's insane from a fandom perspective that would drive me insane. I
Wow, dude, it would be like chat. It would be the equivalent of us getting the ff7 teaser
at
you know 2015 and
Not getting the actual game until like rebirth and then having to wait eight more years
Like 20 30 or some shit to eventually get something else like it just comparatively it's crazy dude. It's crazy
So yeah, I feel you I feel you that shit's brutal
Crazy for cartoons. Thanks for the 10. They got to show the high one for the first reveal
Not much they've been talked about. Yeah, they've been they said the main component of the next game is the high one
Thank you Shadowmape and crazy for cartoons
How will the key react when meteor is summoned?
They'll start singing we're gonna be thrilled
I'm not sure how many of you have been told.
Yeah, resident able fans are eating good right now.
You guys are lucky.
High winds got to be a hub in the game.
Oh no, it has to be.
High winds going to be a hub and the people that are going to be piloting the high wind is the crew that was running around with you in June on.
That shit has to come back in some way.
The cool ass crew, they got to come back.
The lady wearing the bison costume that was in Junon and stuff, that you help out like
another time with another side quest, yeah, I think she's going to be one of the ones
that helps you out.
And they're going to be people that Jettison and Betray Shinra and they jump on and help
you pilot the ship.
I think that'll be it.
The Midgard 7, yeah, Midgard 7 and 7th Infantry.
I think that'll be a big part of the story is that as Midgar enters another world war,
there's going to be a lot of people that defect and they're just like, no, this shit
sucks.
Oh, and they'd be on the submarine either one.
I think because the high winds more important than the submarine and those guys were coolest
shit.
That's the biggest reason.
I think having them be on the highway means you're going to run into them more.
Buta, how much of the story is going to be tied to them?
They've said historically Nomura said that Wutai, they had to create an entire new like
big culture.
They had to create a whole new continent that was different.
So I don't know, like Wutai is going to be bigger than it ever was before.
As a reminder, like what was Wutai historically in FF7?
Wutai was relegated to being a tourist attraction.
It is a continent that went to war with Shinra, they lost, and they had a ceasefire.
But in the OGFF7, their entire culture is being effectively whitewashed, like it's turned
into like a sort of like Asian Disneyland by Shinra.
And there's just a side quest, and that is the entire point of Yuffie's backstory is
that she hates that she's losing her culture.
Yeah, like everything's sort of being gentrified. Yeah, so you go there and that's what she hates it
However in the next game, it's way different like they're about to start a world war with Wu Tai again
Why are they starting a world war with you Wu Tai again?
because Sephiroth
Taking
Sephiroth taking over the body image
of Glenn, who was one of the biggest it defects in ever crisis from Shinra.
He built the big Wu Tai interim, the anti-Shinra shit. He built it.
Sephiroth takes over his goddamn body and begins a world war.
Because he needs the world to be in despair. He needs despair.
Wasn't that Genova? Same shit. We have to assume that Sephiroth and Genova and their intentions are the same shit.
So, yeah, he effectively egged on and manipulated Rufus into starting a World War.
So now there's going to be a lot more strife and terrible shit happening all over the planet.
Yeah, Rufus was goaded into bringing back the war with Wutai, yeah, because he's an idiot.
And as a reminder, how does that get any deeper?
Why did Rufus start the World War with Wutai? Like, how did he get to that point?
As a minor backstory, which may be a minor spoiler, but this is from like mid-2000s,
Rufus kills his dad, technically, and he isn't the one that performs the executing blow.
Seferoth kills President Shinra, right?
But the whole point of there being an avalanche, the whole point of avalanche existing is because
of Rufus.
wants to become the head of Shinra and he organizes a bunch of like anti-Shinra and
funds them and gives them budget and all that shit. He is the whole, all the assassination
attempts that are happening against Rufus' father are because of him and he is trying
to, he is trying to take over this shit. But in that process he's built an entire anti-Shinra
establishment, right, and was manipulated into beginning a world war. Another one.
They will get a good Sephiroth, like a redemption Sephiroth now. I think you're going to get a
Sephiroth that you can be somewhat sympathetic with his goal, the same way you are with Thanos.
I don't think Sephiroth eventually turns into a good guy. I don't think that happens.
It's like, you want a, you want a crazy shit?
You want crazy shit, chat.
Here's, this is like, dude, if this game goes in this direction, this shit is fucking crazy.
You want crazy shit?
I don't think Sephiroth turns into a good guy in the story, but I do think you team
up with Sephiroth to kill something.
I think Sephiroth needs Cloud to kill Jenova.
I think Sephiroth, by the time we get to the character
being at where he is, I think that one of the craziest turns
on the story potentially would be Cloud,
like let's take out Jenova.
This is the reason the planet's messed up, right?
Let's do it.
And you and Sephiroth team up to kill Jenova,
which frees the planet of Jenova,
but then gives ultimate power to Sephiroth.
he's now the one. And it's like, and his, but with him in true
power, it's like, Oh, we've killed it with something bad. But
now he's like, unrelegated, dude, now he just gets access to his
wild ass idea. And his wild ass idea is actually mega fucked up.
So it's like, and what is his wild fucked up idea, he wants to
get rid of death, wants to change the way the world works. He
He doesn't like the process of life.
He doesn't like, he doesn't like it.
That's just it.
He's anti-planet, you know?
Like the planet exists and Aerith is a character.
Zephroth is the complete anti of that.
He hates the natural order of things.
He does not like this shit.
He wants everyone to live on like the ghee.
And that's why the ghee exists.
Why did the ghee's backstory change?
The ghee's backstory changed them being
effectively trapped ghosts
like they're in Pirates of the Caribbean.
They changed those characters' story to be that.
So you can have a juxtaposition and understand, oh, so wait a minute.
If you technically don't die, you're kind of stuck and this shit sucks.
And the gi are doing everything they can to die.
So this is pretty much what Sephiroth wants everybody to have.
Everyone should just perpetually exist and not ever, you know, move on.
He's the opposite of Thanos in a way, but it's like a sympathetic thing where he doesn't
want you to go through pain and suffering.
That's what Sephiroth's proposition is.
He doesn't want everyone to go through the pain and suffering of losing loved ones and
shit.
And what is that the antithesis of?
This is the line, I will not end, nor will I have you end.
We're going to be in, we're going to live on forever.
Like that's what that, that's what that shit is.
What is the antithesis of that?
It's Aerith.
The whole point of Aerith is, is to die.
Like that's her entire existence.
The everything about her is that the natural order of life is the way it is.
And you need to accept that.
And right now, Cloud does not accept that.
He refuses to accept that.
And Sephiroth is also like, yeah, isn't this great?
So anyway, I think Arithan's the end is 100% Genova.
I want to watch the ending again, Chad.
Can I just watch it with you all?
Can I just like look at?
I just like look at the ending of the game with y'all I went I
Bro, I went back and I was watching my playthrough and I looked at that final sequence and I was like
Who the fuck is this who who is this man's what who is this person?
What is going on dude?
And I get it the shipping community will hate me, but the shipping community hates everything including themselves
But who the fuck is this person? I ain't here to ship anything dude
Cloud should just start kissing Barrett.
That's what should happen.
Let's just open up the next game with Cloud and Barrett
making out.
And let's just end that conversation
so we can actually move on to the story.
I like after as I've been looking at people playing this game and watching these sequences
and all that shit, I'm like, okay, yeah, like these characters are the way they are.
And then the last scene, every character is the way they are, except Cloud who's going
through some shit and Eryth is definitely being portrayed very differently, but Eufy
and Red and everybody else is like, they are in touch, they are the way their characters
act.
anything?
Why?
True Sephiroth postgen of the death we're hearing birth of a god bucket?
Yeah.
This is mega squilers chat for the actual end of rebirth you've never played it.
I recommend you just like turn off the strength.
The scene looks sad.
Here's the thing.
It's not.
It's not because everything that leads you up to this scene is confusion and bewilderment.
You don't know what's happening and you're given conflicting information like crazy.
It's just confusing.
So by the time you get here, nobody is sad, except all the other characters, and Cloud
is fine.
Cloud is us, where we're just like, okay.
And several points throughout, we are emotionally lost at the end of this shit.
I think it's 100% intentional.
And it's the exact same shit that Nomura and Katase and Hamaguchi said before this game
came out.
They said they were super worried.
They said, like, the end of this, like, they are super concerned about their overall plan
because of what effectively is rebirth story, where they're trying to put us into cloud's
perspective instead of giving the obvious payoff that everyone wants.
They're saving it for part three.
They're saving it for a bigger, more impactful part three.
And it's like, yeah, that's the bet.
That's the literal, like, multimillion-dollar bet.
Are we going to go with our artistic integrity and try to save this for something insane
in the end?
Or are we just going to give everybody what they want right now?
Nope.
The player is cloud now.
It's super risky.
before though.
Can't stay here forever.
We'd best get moving.
Yup, sounds good.
By this, anybody that's been following
with the story of this shit feels nothing.
The first time we play through this,
everybody that's an FF7 fan feels literally nothing.
Like flat line.
We don't even have heart beats, dude.
We're just like, what it, like, even my reaction is like,
what do we, huh?
What the hell, it, like trying to make sense of what you saw,
what we were just like, I don't know what to feel.
I don't know what to feel, dude.
And it wasn't until like you watch it a few times
where it starts to make sense like,
oh, shit, this is intentional, bro.
This is not, this is not, actually,
this is the way they want us to feel.
I'll see you off.
why she lit like that.
By the way, isn't the Genova theme, it is not the Genova theme, din din din din din
din din din din din din.
But it has the same composition as the Genova theme.
I hit up Alex Mukala and he investigated it.
Uh, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Yeah, it's not the exact same notes but it's the same composition, it's changing.
like it's evolving, it's turning into something else.
The music is a spoiler, bro.
["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
It's not Genova, she's Cloud Subconscious.
Right, but what is Cloud Subconscious, dude?
What is that?
It is literally Genova and Sephiroth.
He literally is in his goddamn DNA.
Like what I'm saying is that yes, it isn't a physical manifestation of Genova, but in
his head the same way that Cloud sees Sephiroth in his head tormenting his ass, he instead
of seeing Sephiroth or a weird shit is now seeing Aerith alive.
Why?
Because it's another manipulation.
I don't think this is just cloud denying shit and hiding the fact.
I think it's escalating.
I think it isn't just him like, hey, you know, I'm fucked up and this is just me protecting
myself.
I think it is also a manipulation.
I think this whatever the hell this goddamn character is, whatever the hell is following
him around, look at the way the other characters around him are acting.
That'll tell you how comfortable you're supposed to be with this person.
Look at every other character in the way they're acting and understand how you should be feeling
about her presence. Also, Sephiroth tried to manipulate Cloud throughout this whole
goddamn game. This entire game, he spent so much time trying to convince Cloud of one
thing what was it chat he worked his ass off dude try to convince a lot of one thing
Tifa's a bitch she ain't real a bitch ain't real
spent the whole game doing that guess what it didn't work never worked
so he shifted his plan and when did he shift his plan dude you literally are fighting with
Arith and fighting Sephiroth and Sephiroth is like damn I underestimated you shit you're cheating and shit you're hot you're taking
Materia and shit like that like damn
lady
Tifa was like the enemy and then it didn't work so his plan shifted and realized yeah
Arith is always there to back your ass up, huh?
This crazy ass ghost chick is always hanging out
plan B
I think Aerith, Red 13, feeling Aerith is there specifically to throw it off.
To not come to this conclusion with like unequivocal evidence, I will agree with you.
So one thing that throws out this entire sequence, this entire thought process, is Red 13 going
arith and like sensing her in some way, I think that is intentionally there to throw
the whole thing off.
So we do not have a concrete answer.
There is, and again, nobody's theory is concrete.
There's no absolute definitive.
They put fail safes, dude.
Like for everybody that was paying attention to this shit, they literally put moments
in the story where you come to these conclusions and get to here and it stops.
And you're like, ah, damn it, because this conflicts that.
Shit.
So, it doesn't, I guess it doesn't mean that.
Or does Red say that?
You'll see it.
You'll see it right here, hold on a second.
So again, we're going to show Sephiroth taking over the body of somebody else and manipulating
him too.
That's probably unrelated to the previous scene, right?
This is probably unrelated to what just happened.
Zack is likely at the church in Midgar, in our Midgar.
The side plot is so undercooked, it's not developed at all.
That's the problem.
We're waiting for the payoff of this side plot for like the world war.
We're waiting for it.
And it's also confusing because it's tied to crisis score.
Yeah.
There's Unite again.
reunite.
Did you play Crysis Scar before or after FF7 remake?
Um, you could play any of them and get appreciation for it, the same thing with OG FF7.
Yeah, unite again does mean reunite, it's true.
Yeah, the reunion's happening. Well, actually, it's still happening. So, this is the important
scene to me. Like, this scene, I've looked at way too much, and it seems very specifically
directed. So, Aerith is an- whenever Cloud is not paying attention, Aerith is not around,
as a heads up. Just notice that as the scene goes through how weird it is.
As soon as he pays attention, she shows up.
What error does it actually do anyway?
The weird thing is that, like, she doesn't respond.
I think that's also kind of interesting.
It's not even like she's trying to completely give the illusion away.
Our address doesn't react to that.
You know she's not real.
And with that, we are cleared for takeoff.
We get the idea she's not there.
But for some reason, she's just acting it out.
She's for either cloud's protection or something.
She's just acting like she's a part of the crew still.
Hey, I'm here and we're just hanging out.
It's not fair.
She teleports.
Cloud is still paying attention at this time, by the way.
Like Cloud is still looking over and seeing all this shit happen.
And this is the one part that throws it all out, that throws my entire theory out because
No one's theory is is concrete. No one's theory actually gets a finality. This is how it is
This is the thing that throws my theory out
Red can still sense her is as a connection to the planet and shit
And it's like yeah red seems to sense that she's around okay
kind of throws out the theory but let's follow and she does look sad yes
looking sad is the important thing when looking sad yes as long as you look sad
that means you feel sad as soon as cloud looks away she's gone and it shows this
shot. What do you think the next shot they show is chat? They wouldn't show what he's
looking at. They show this. Oh, actually, she's not even there. Actually, she's just
on a stage play, acting like she's normal Earth.
The hell?
And confirmation even further, that cloud's even more messed up than we ever thought it
was.
Union
Yeah, one sec
And here's the part where it's like
Every character around cloud should be telling us how we should be feeling it's not happy
Don't look up
He's so cooked.
Why doesn't Tifa acknowledge Claude in the scene because at this point we should be looking
at what's going on through Tifa's eyes and she is horrified.
horrified by everything that's happening. She's literally dead on the inside. We need to be
looking at the people that are around Cloud and not how happy Cloud is that his girlfriend now
has two girlfriends. Tifa's fucking mortified. Like this dude's gonna get us all killed now.
And she's also lost like one of her childhood friends. Trust me, he is. She doesn't say
Tifa hasn't said a single line of dialogue since Aerith dies. Not a single line. She doesn't say
anything after the burial, she doesn't say anything here. She says nothing.
Christian.
Oh, yeah? Better hope you're right.
Why does he know that Sephiroth's signing up north? A good question.
He says it's soldier intuition.
It's almost like he knows what the game plan is.
It's almost like he's aware that, oh, yeah, I got to go up there because he's
literally being summoned through Genova intuition for the reunion.
and everything the other aspects of the game which is literally
Aerith in this time frame is like yeah you go up there and do that
and it's like dude
all right fine we trust you
just remember we got everything riding on this
and that's a load you best be ready to carry.
No heavy loads.
Close the capacity as it is.
Don't worry about me.
I can handle it.
It's completely tone deaf, right?
Everything about Cloud, he's lost all of his humanity.
You know all that humanity that he built throughout this entire story of him sympathizing and humanizing with every other person
other person and growing that shit back, it's all gone.
Suddenly gone.
Dude's fuckin' cooked.
And Tifa is horrified, like, what the hell?
Take care.
So,
Bro, almost every single line of dialogue that this character says to Cloud is the same thing that she has said to him from previous games.
From earlier in this game, going all the way back to Remake, like everything is reused assets.
You gonna be okay getting back?
And if I said I wasn't.
Same line when they first met or when they were in Sector 7 or going to Sector 7.
Same shit.
Don't worry.
It's like a second home.
Same line that Aerith said to Cloud in the weird dream sequence when she got abducted
And was stuck inside Shinra?
Obvious, from earlier this game.
I'll stop the meteor and I'll leave the rest to you good luck Eric I will stop
Sephiroth trust me
you promise Jesus dude promise
Who the hell is this person?
Who the hell are you?
Goodbye.
So why are we still singing, Arith?
I mean, they have to end the game in the same way that you have to create the same illusion
of her talking to Red, you know, and Red reacting and stuff.
can't she can't just disappear at the end of the game in the final shot you're
supposed to feel somewhat sadness that she's gone but I I straight up think
everything you see post the burial scene that we don't see is a Genova
manipulation is now Sephiroth and Genova manipulating cloud now Aerith is
hanging out and is just being told shit about the way he feels and everyone
around him is horrified. And there is KYH. You don't get to talk, dude. You've been wrong
too much. Stop talking. Her walk is literally her walk in her mannerisms are just emulating
weird shit. Bro, I don't know, man. This is the thing that people got that were un un
un not on boarded with me from the very beginning. So I've heard the end of it. I am more convinced
of it now. I am legit way more convinced of this shit now. I still think that the live
stream eryth shit is around. I still think Omni eryth is around. But chat, when has Omni
eryth ever actually shown up to manipulate and like talk to cloud or talk to him? When
is it when is she ever shown up and done this shit? Never. The only time it's ever happened
is the one moment in the life stream.
And that's like the one thing, the goodbye,
where she actually says goodbye to him.
So it's weird that she's saying goodbye again, right?
That's weird during the fight, though.
Yeah, but it's also like she doesn't appear,
the weird fights are like edge of creation.
That isn't like reality.
She doesn't appear here, like in physical.
And Advent Children, does she?
Yeah, you're right.
She technically like waves goodbye
at the end of Advent Children. Yeah. I think in the church. Yeah.
The cloud has the vision. You're right. With her and Zach. Goodbye.
All I'm saying is that like it feels very unnatural.
It feels extremely unnatural.
She showed up in a cloud dream in part one.
And then, FF7 Rebirth credits.
And then the biggest hint of them all is the ending right here is the omissions.
And right after Cloud pretty much says goodbye to dead Aerith, everything is omitted.
Every single part is omitted until we get to the parts that are not.
The things that actually happen.
So even we don't get full confirmation of those sequences and scenes.
Look at, look at the moral mission.
Jesus.
else happens there that we're missing. And then it's the final shot of her.
Interesting. It's every scene of cloud actually recollecting this stuff. Every scene is omitted
because it technically is messed up,
is as the player, we're not supposed to experience it yet.
I ain't there, bro.
Can't wait.
I can't wait to argue this Genova-Aerith shit
for the next year.
And any inclination, any little inclination
of this shit manipulating cloud in the trailers,
I'm just taking it as confirmation of like,
Aerith just trying to convince cloud,
Hey, how about you, we go over here.
Hey, Cloud, Sephiroth isn't such a bad guy, right?
He's actually pretty cool, you know?
I, as soon as Aaron starts acting like Megasus
in the trailers and shit, it's like, uh-oh.
Oh boy, here we go, oh boy.
As soon as they show a little bit of that inkling,
it's like, oh boy, here we go.
But here's the thing, Nojima, the writer, has expressed a fear that he has over the pretty
much multi-decade existence of the shipping community of Final Fantasy VII and how visceral
they can be and how toxic they are and how he has felt that that should change the way he feels
about the story and writing the story of FF7 Remake to eventually come to the point where
he thought that was like kind of blasphemous and he's like no I need to stick with the story that
was always in my head that he always wanted to write and so despite him saying that the
conclusion of this remake trilogy will will make people upset it will it will make parts of the
shipping community upset and it's like yeah no I see exactly where this is going I see exactly how
this is going to continue. And to me, all this stuff that is happening right now is almost
lining up with that. Of like, yeah, one side of this shipping community is going to be big
celebrating and big happening because they fight each other, but there are two sides of the same
coin, they're toxic as shit. So I think it's a massive W for the guy that eventually makes
this stuff to create it and commit to it. Where it's like, this is the story that I was always
trying to tell. And this is the one that I want to continue making, you know? Like, you will not
be able, no matter what you do, you're not going to make the Tifa fandom or the Aerith fandom happy,
because they're all going to be so diehard and against each other that there is no way to appeal
towards this side of the audience. There's no way. It's best just to ignore them. So, yeah,
Yeah.
Like, they're perpetually unhappy.
They're going through 30 years of unhappiness, dude, of like, for some reason tying their
entire existence to the dating sim aspect of FF7.
Like it's wild to me.
So anyway, I'm glad that they're committing to their decision.
I'm glad.
And I'm pretty, I can kind of pick up where the story is going.
I can.
Like I said, I hope they start part three by just having
Barrett and Cloud making out.
Does that Barrett and Cloud kissing so that we can throw
that shit out?
Now we can actually get onto the story and what's important.
Let's just begin part three by doing that.
It's best to stay away.
It's best not to get into it.
It's really best not to get into it.
Now you're talking.
Now we're finally, finally.
Do you think we'll see Eryth in the reveal?
Yeah?
No, yeah, I do.
I do.
I'm just curious where they go with this shit.
I'm just judging everything I have ever judged
on this entire remake trilogy based on the tone and the message.
What are they trying to tell us?
What is the point of this stuff?
What is the point of having a first game that
gets a wild and crazy to the second one that questions,
it's not really wild and crazy, but there's wild and crazy stuff
that could happen?
And now there is a third part where it's like, okay, so now we get return of the king.
Now it's, now it's return of the king, you know.
So interesting, very interesting.
You think Aerith will still be playable?
No.
I hope not.
I think the weapon fights will be canonized into the plot.
I mean, they technically are.
You fight like the ultimate weapon, you know?
If you mean Ruby and Emerald, I think they'll be side quests.
Yeah, they do mention Meteor in Temple of the Ancients.
But I don't.
So the reason is that
Arith connects the dots at the end for cloud.
Sephiroth is asking for the black materia.
The black materia we learn is there to summon Meteor, right?
So it is never explicitly said.
Sephiroth never goes out and says, oh, here we go.
So I'm going to use this black materia to create a meteor that is going to damage the
planet so much that he doesn't give his original intentions ever.
What is Seferoth's actual intentions?
To reunite all of the worlds.
He has a different intention.
Yeah, the geese say, the geese have the original idea, which is, oh, we need the black materia
to destroy the planet.
Sephiroth is out here going like, I'm going to reunite all the worlds.
And for a specific reason, and he wants Aerith to pray, he wants her to do all this shit.
What is Meteor?
Is it just a large rock?
Yeah, it's an ultra powerful spell that the geese created.
It's a world, it's a world ender.
You said reunite times two again?
Yeah.
I don't like reunite as much, but you know.
Anyway.
Is there any explanation as the ghee want to end the world?
Yeah, because the planet won't let them die.
They're from a different planet.
They're not from Earth or Gaia.
the planet says nah when they pass on and they're stuck.
They're stuck in like a not existence and they hate it.
And they hate it so much that they built up
all of their spite and malice into a materia.
The planet's literally racist, yes.
Like the promotion from part two is that
is the planet benevolent and good?
You know, were the Cetra also benevolent and good?
because why would it act this way?
It also promotes that idea.
So yeah, they build a materia
that'll destroy the whole planet.
And the etc find that,
and it's so dangerous that they stick it
into a pocket dimension.
It's so goddamn dangerous that they understand
how worlds work and they're connected
to the planet enough to know that you can,
you can actually put things into other worlds
and access other worlds.
but they're like, almost like pocket dimensions, right?
And they do that.
So Sephiroth in FF7 Rebirth finds the link
between the worlds, pretty much the guide,
and he finds the real black materia.
And then we find out that Aerith does the same shit
with the white materia.
She saves a white materia in a pocket dimension.
Maybe Sephiroth is less focused on Meteor now
because Meteor is Jenova's plan, but it's not his anymore.
He never specifically says that like,
I'm gonna use this black materia to summon Meteor.
I don't remember that happening.
It might, because there's a lot of dialogue
at the end of this game chat.
You learn in the Temple of the Ancients
about them creating the black materia
and summoning Meteor.
But Sefiroth's saying what I am going to do,
what my intentions are, he never says that.
He says he talks about reuniting the worlds.
He talks about the convergence of worlds.
He talks about all this shit.
He says his goal is different.
Damn, 50 bucks.
Search for Carl Jung, Psychology of Dreams.
Watch just the first two minutes.
Pay attention to what I said at 18-1-18.
You have to give me, give me a video link.
What the hell?
Ben, thank you.
This was a 50 bucks, man.
Holy shit.
Give me the video link, which search for Carl John psychology of dreams.
Oh, baby 50 bucks.
Come on.
OK, hold on.
Come on.
So another 50.
No, I'm just kidding.
The goal of Academy of Ideas is to empower the individual and promote freedom, become
a supporting member to help us in our mission, and access over 75 membership videos with
my friends.
My bitch ass was listening.
I was like, he's right.
Oh
They got my bitch ass listening
All right, let me get past the ad part sign up now
We also live in our dreams we do not live only by day
Sometimes we accomplish our greatest deeds and dreams
Are dreams the product of random brain activity, or a side effect of the mind consolidating
its memories?
Are they, as Sigmund Freud suggested, the expression of repressed wishes and desires?
Or is there something richer and more meaningful to dreams that escapes the notice of many
in the modern day?
Carl Jung believed there was, and in this video, we are going to explore why dreams
are of vital importance to our mental and physical health, and how the art of dream interpretation
can revitalize our life. It is only in modern times that the dream, this fleeting and insignificant
looking product of the psyche, has met with such profound contempt, writes Jung. Formerly it was
esteemed as a harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods. Now we see
it as an emissary of the unconscious, whose task it is to reveal the secrets that are hidden from
the conscious mind. And this it does with astounding completeness.
Okay, you got me. They used a very specific term. It was esteemed as a harbinger of fate,
a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods. Now we see dreams as the emissary of
of the unconscious, whose task it is to reveal the secrets that are hidden from the conscious
mind. And this it does with astounding completeness. So it sounds. Oh, it is also its arbiter of
fate. Yeah, this gets a little too deep into what philosophical backgrounds are we pulling
from it gets a little too. It's interesting. Don't get me wrong. But it gets all it gets pretty you
can this this this will have the depth of the Mariana trench, dude, you can you will be stuck into
this forever. If we go down this route, in terms of like in terms you'll be able to write entire
books about this shit, just ff seven and Carl Jung or young, you know, but he will be this will be
a lot. It will be a lot. I think a lot of this stuff is exactly subtext. They're like inspirations,
but not exactly a blueprint. Not exactly like a map.
Starwax's latest video, had me think about Aerith at the end of Rebirth differently. No, I don't
follow a ton of FF7 Rebirth. I don't like follow every single FF7 Rebirth, what's it called, video?
Not every single one.
Um, anyway, Jesus, bro, Jesus, there's a lot dude, like the FF seven, what's it called?
The FF seven theory rabbit hole is deep.
I'm not saying mine are right either.
I am.
I don't even know if I'm as much like a theorizer as much as I'm just like looking at shit on
screen and just like, this seems obvious to me.
Like this shit seems like what they're doing. I don't know. It just feels like this is what's happening
And I think I just gotten very lucky I think I've just been in tune with what their goal is
In terms of like telling a story and it's what I would do
Like pretty much is like all this crazy like back to the future to shit and biff coming back and being like
Oh, let me biff slash Sephiroth coming back and doing this shit. It's like
Goddamn dude. Come on. Can you I'm gonna ban you?
Keep distracting my chat
Can't trust cosmon anymore. It's just like the original it's just like the original
Oh, they handle weapons in part three.
I think how you fight weapons is going to be crazy.
I think they're going to be multifaceted.
I think they're going to be multifaceted fights, where it's like, weapon, I don't think we're
going to get access to our entire party, the whole party throughout every part of the game.
Probably not.
I think it would be cool if you can swap out to anybody at any time, but that's also like
a bit of an overload.
It's a bit of like my brain is gonna start melting at some point dude if you give me access to like
Seven or eight characters at any given point for any single battle against some rats like I don't know if that's gonna work out very well
however
There will be a moment in the game where you fight large-scale enemies where everyone needs to be involved
Or every single character would have to be involved like like big bosses
Yeah, the Whisper Harbinger, the Bizarro Sephiroth fight, where they're like, you're using every
single person in a variety of different ways. I think they'll find a way to make that more
connected to swap to each one as they're doing things. And I think that's like the whole,
the whole aspect of like, they tease at the end of part two. Hey, what's it like when your entire
party works together? And it pretty much is platform based. I think there's a way to make
that like even cooler, where it's like, Oh, let's just have everybody fighting this thing.
Everyone has a goal. Vincent, you do this, you feed, you do that, you know, that kind of stuff.
I'm surprised there was no DLC for Rebirth. No, they said it. They said it.
Kenny will get bored. He won't hang out. He won't wait 10 minutes. He won't wait 10
minutes, no worry. So they can get to part three for us at the anniversary. Yeah, pretty
much. Getting a text from no more a chat. Hold on a second. I'm not controlling a night
nights of the round. I don't know if they're gonna go that far with it. I don't know. I'm
actually wondering how summons are gonna change in general. How they're gonna change.
What did Kenny say? He said something bad about your mother. So I had to, I had to time
him out. Yeah, Kenny got timed out.
I didn't like what he said about your mother.
I thought that was pretty disrespectful.
So, I just have to put my foot down.
I can't allow that.
I have respect for your mothers, okay?
Thank you, WMAX, thank you.
W's for Max.
I think so, I think, I'll be talking about this.
I think Knights of the Run is gonna be SideQuest.
I think it will be SideQuest stuff still.
No, I don't know if the light and dark materia stuff is going to be influenced throughout
the game.
No, I don't think that'd be crazy.
I don't think that's going to happen, though.
And the whole thing about materia is that they talk about it as memories, you know,
it's knowledge and memories.
So why does cloud have a blank materia?
Because he doesn't have his knowledge and memories.
He doesn't have the knowledge and memory of him fighting Sephiroth multiple times before.
He doesn't have that.
So I think the white material, the blank material, sorry, is literally Cloud's material.
I think it is his.
Because if Cloud knew what he was like capable of type shit, he's mad powerful.
Right now he's not.
Is Dirge a good game story-wise?
To put it was Dirge a good game story-wise?
Just so you can have like an awareness if you are thinking about playing Dirge of Cerberus?
I personally feel it's complete dog shit and it almost makes, it actually makes Final Fantasy
7 significantly worse.
I think it's bad.
Like Capital BAD bad.
I think it's complete dog shit.
I actively very much dislike it.
It also was not written by the people that wrote FF7.
It wasn't written by Nojima.
It was written by other people.
Similar people that were involved with FF7
were involved with the game.
Don't get me wrong.
But the writer was not it.
So why is it bad?
Just go play it, dude.
Just go play it and you'll understand.
Go sit through it's like 10 to 12 hour campaign
and then you go tell me what you feel in the end.
Just go play it.
I've already played it.
You can watch my play through.
I already put it up.
It's dog shit.
There's some redeemable aspects of the game itself
but it's gameplay is necessarily not good.
Its characters are terrible
and its story is abysmal.
Like, it's a functional video game from beginning to end, but that is the best thing that I
can really say about it and it has some nice music sometimes.
Any thoughts on crisis score?
It's pretty good.
Second eight out of ten.
It's pretty good.
Crisis score is okay.
I think old crisis score is not aged well.
Old crisis score is like a seven because it's so rough.
new Crysiscore, Crysiscore Remaster did a very good job at modernizing that game for gameplay
purposes. And its story is good. Yeah, Crysiscore Reunion is legit worth playing. It has a fun end
game too. I think the Pixelary Masters of FF 1 through 6. To be honest, I'm not really an executive
voice on anything Final Fantasy except 7 and probably 11. You know? To be completely honest,
I'm extremely casual when it comes to the rest of it. I'm definitely an FF11 executive,
even though I was only there for the first few years. I'm an executive. I'm on the board. Oh,
in tactics. Yeah, I always forget about tactics. Yeah, I love tactics. I love it. I'm a 7-11 kind
a guy. Could you display the original Crysis score to play Remake if you want the full context?
Yeah, no, you definitely could. If you want to actually, if you're hoping to jump into this
series and you think you want to really like it and you're willing to play through a couple of
older games, reunion is a bit easier to play because it's a little bit more modern. But OGFF7,
and you might not, it's one of the best game,
it is the best game ever made, period.
But it also is an older game.
So the graphics might turn you off, all that kind of stuff.
You might not be as emotionally invested.
If the graphics aren't an issue for you,
yeah, you 100% should play OGFF7 and then play Crisis Score.
And if you dig that shit and you're like, damn,
this stuff's hitting, I like it.
Then, yeah, then you play Remake and Rebirth.
Straight up, play Remake and Rebirth.
I'm watching several people doing the same shit right now where they played the OG, they
They played Remake and they liked it so much that they went back and played the OG and
they're like, wow, this is still really good too.
But they're like questioning it like, wait a minute, so where are all the ghosts and
stuff?
Like, they were legit like, wait a minute, where, Sephiroth isn't in this one nearly
at all.
Like, they're legit asking questions.
They're like, what's happening?
It's pretty funny.
What?
Yeah, the logs.
Thanks for the 10, dude.
You know how white materia theorized to contain future memories of erythcade to people in
the remake.
But if the new black materia has memories, that cloud is going to deliver to Sephiroth.
Yeah.
Yeah, that one guy on Twitter, and he was like, what the hell?
I ran into Yuffie in the forest and she joined my party.
What the hell?
Like, wait a minute.
some rando in a forest like if people were like don't tell them about Vincent
like don't tell him and then he's like what the people are like losing their
mind and shit what the hell some rando in a forest what's going on she's like a
Pokemon it's so funny like yep that's the original game so made it kind of cool
Finish the game with that, with never seeing Vincent.
Finish the game with, I think it's almost impossible for you to finish the game with
never running into Eufy.
I think you'd have to, right?
You run through enough forests around the main continent where you would run into Eufy
at some point and randomly get a fight with her.
It'd be very hard not to.
But would you answer all of the questions correctly?
Would you get her enough to go through it to do it again?
No.
to get five answers or some shit, five or six correct in her conversation after? If
you don't get the quiz right, then it's over. She leaves and you have to wait for the chance
to happen again. So I mean, at this point, you just look up a guide, but what if you're
playing through it, you know? Either way, yeah, I think it's possible. I think it's
possible you just miss out.
I've never not gotten Ufi. In OGFF7, could you go to Wutai without Ufi? Does anything
happen? Or does it stop you for some reason? You can, just nothing happens. It's just like
a tourist spot. Yeah, nothing, no events take place. You just lock that up all the side
quest, you don't get the pagoda. Yeah. You can't do the Leviathan thing without her. Okay.
Well, there you go. You can get like the turtle thing. There's like the, you can do the Dachau
cave, the Dachau cave with the Dachau fire, right? Where all the most powerful materials are or some
of the most powerful material. You can put out the fires in the cave, but you can't do anything else,
right? I think you could still do that. I think you can't do the whole Don Corneo final mission.
Oh, you need the Leviathan scales. Oh, so you can't even do that. Never mind.
Never mind. Jeff, thank you. I saw a YouTuber go from remake to crisis score and then to
rebirth and she was so confused by the Nemohime flashback. She thought she was being gaslit.
She is. She is.
Do I like rebirth more than remake?
I like the vibes of remake more than rebirth.
But that's pretty much where it ends.
I think everything else in rebirth is better.
Everything. It's such a better game, dude.
But the vibes of remake are on point, man.
Because Midgar is a vibey-ass place.
It's a super vibey place.
Can you shut up?
Yeah, but that is honestly the same in OG FF7.
OG FF7 takes a massive turn when you leave Midgar.
It's a very different game once you leave Midgar,
which is why it feels like the end of the game is so friggin' sick,
because it all comes back. Everything comes back to Midgar right before the end of the game.
And it feels so much like, oh, this is a full circle kind of moment, dude.
Like, this is it. I cannot wait for that.
to literally come back to Midgar
seven years after you were there last?
Bro, that's gonna be so crazy.
Yeah, remake, even FF7, that felt nostalgic.
We're like, wow, we're going back to Midgar.
Felt nostalgic in one playthrough.
Yeah, Jason Kodiak, thank you. And Jeffrey, appreciate it. Maki, thanks for the 690. Not
sure if you read my donut message from the OVG stream when you mentioned the 490-5090
issues of rebirth. For me on the 9800X3D and 590 was also unplayable due to stutters when
I turned off resizable bar in BIOS and could be affected. I did the same thing several
times, and I thought it had an effect that still stuttered. I legit think it
it wasn't just that game like I had issues on several other games with my
7800x3d and a 5090 and guess what ever since I put my 4090 in I've had no
issues on anything on anything at all everything's run better. So I'm just
leaving it in man I might at some point if I upgrade my CPU to some new
AMD the 9850 like whatever they have like maybe the big ones if I do that for
some reason in the future if it's the same chipset then I might put the 5090 in
but right now I'm not I'm leaving it out it has it just has weird compatibility
problems with my CPU currently I don't think it's necessarily buggy but it's
like my combination of maybe it's my RAM what's in the stream PC that is
32 gigs DDR5, 7800 X3D, and the 5090.
My stream PC is,
Jesus, do I still have an Intel in here?
Hold on a second, I haven't looked at this in so long.
Well, it's holy shit.
The stream PC is a 4090 as well.
Hold up, I might actually put the 5090 into this computer.
Yeah, I have an i7-14 series, the 14700K.
I have 64 gigs of RAM in here, holy shit.
And yeah, and a 4090.
So that's my streaming PC.
It's a little overboard.
But, you know, I literally got these when,
I literally got these when I had a sponsorship
directly with this company.
I think the links are still down below
if you guys wanna check it out for Ironside.
These are both Ironside PCs.
And that was the thing they hooked me up with immediately
was like to start our sponsorship.
I started streaming with an Ironside PC
So they like gave me the best that they had to offer at the time.
It was like, it was like a $2,000 PC.
Dude, now this PC with all of this shit in it
is at least five grand.
At least, like, no shit.
It has legit doubled in price in the three years
that I've had it, at least, dude.
It's probably close to like four to 5K,
and it was about $2,000.
Yeah, the 5090 now can go up from 4 to 5k. Yeah, it's stupid. It's stupid. How much
RAM do I have? I mean, I have two 32 gig T-forces in there, DDR5. I can probably just take those
out and put it into my gaming rig, because my gaming rig could use more. I have 32 gigs
of DDR5 in my gaming rig. But this was when that didn't cost that much. It was like 150
bucks or some shit like that. You're 4070 on the stream PC struggles and
streaming recorded 4k. That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. What's the command?
I'm not even sponsored with them anymore. I don't have an official sponsorship
with them, but I don't, I mean, I think I'm inside Max, dude, I, yeah, like my case is
still there. They still have it. These I had literally have two of these right below my
desk right now. And this case is incredible. You don't like the design. There's plenty
of other cases. They do plenty of shit, dude. Yeah, these cases are great. They have way
more space. Did it say sold out? Customize? No, they're still here. Sold out, you tried?
Ah, shit. It's sold out. Damn it, I'm sorry. They need to take that off the site, then.
Sorry. They're very cool to work with. If you can't even buy pre-builds anymore, shit.
I've been out of that space for a long time ever since this, most of the pre-build companies
don't really sponsor many people anymore, just because this shit's been so tumultuous
over the past few years or year specifically.
You know, Andrew, thank you.
32 gigs is the absolute necessity.
You need 32 gigs for like, if you're doing to do a gaming computer, you need 32 gigs.
It can be 32 gigs of DDR4.
That'll still be great.
But it's about the standard.
Dude, you know, it's crazy chat. You know, it's, you know, it's going away too. Um, we
just want to talk about the demise of this stupid bullshit. Uh, crypto mining. Yeah.
Mining Bitcoin is gone. It's, it's pretty much gone. It costs more money currently to
mine Bitcoin than it does the actual value of the Bitcoin itself. So it's not worth it
anymore. Now all those like massive mining operations and shit that go across that insane
shit, all that insane electricity, it isn't worth it. Now, now Bitcoin has gone down so much
that it isn't worth mining for anymore. So it also doesn't help that the notorious worst person
in the world likely started Bitcoin, that probably didn't help. Worse human to ever exist type shit
But might have been the one responsible for starting Bitcoin for their worst person ever
empire might not help.
So yeah, good riddance.
Let that shit go.
Let it burn.
Bill Gates, no.
No.
Not Bill Gates.
Let it burn.
Good for them.
Do you want any Bitcoin?
Fuck no.
Do I own any crypto or Bitcoin?
No. No, I don't. I've never, I would never invest into something that has no tangible value.
I don't want to do that. No actual value.
I own Ram. I just own my existing Ram. That's all it is. Kingdom of Shawn, thanks for the
triple sevens. The devs of FF7 said they're the most excited for the awakening because they want
to see the reactions of others along with the other reason I'm wondering whether we'll provide
much more info as it is crazy. Well, it's also the emotional climax of FF7. It's the literal
emotional climax of the story. So yeah, it's it's literally the the one spot of the game of the
entire trilogy that you have to hit this part. Like this is the part where OG like FF7 fans don't
talk highly about specific moments of the old game being like the best. The majority of people
people that are FF7 fans know that like, oh dude, Cloud's reawakening is the best part
of the game. Like that reveal, the eventual like gotcha reveal also along with it is like
the coolest part of the game. So it's like, yeah, if this lands, Jesus dude. The let's
Mosie part. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
People are going to set fireworks off from their house when
cloud says let's Mosie out there out there goddamn windows,
dude. The bitch is going to say let's Mosie and it's going to
be like it's New Year's New Year's Eve.
That'll happen.
in my head. 100 GIFs ups. I'll just, I don't have any fireworks, but I plan on shitting
a live chicken. I plan on just producing a live adult chicken, a matured chicken, and
just not an egg.
Just shitting a chicken.
But Gawk and it leaves and has it has work to do.
Goodbye.
As one does, as, as one does,
my people need me.
That will be the, the infamous FF seven chicken. Yeah.
Well, what else?
Let's think of combat and gameplay stuff.
I like the idea of theorizing that materia could be reborn again.
What other gameplay things could they improve on chat?
One of the things that I'd said forever was full party swapping like Final Fantasy X, constant
flipping between characters.
And the more I have played FF7 Rebirth in its combat system, it's a lot.
I think they have room to expand on that, but also simplify other parts.
Um, I think triple texts are a thing that is going to, that's just happening.
That is just happening.
They like tease it.
But I don't know about the ability to, I think there will be more
utility of the characters in the background because they really don't do much.
They have very little that they can do.
I don't want to be able to funnel, find the C10, hot swap everybody.
I think that's too much.
I think having everybody involved in a fight that is against weapons and giant monsters
makes a lot more sense for me.
That's when you have everybody on board, all characters.
I think I wanted that for a long time, but I think it's okay being at certain parts of
the game and not everything.
Again, it feels weird that like, you have to think of it from a player perspective.
Do you really want to inundate the low level player base
and the high level player base with the fact that you can just,
you have to swap to Vincent if there's a flying enemy
and you have to like rotate and do all this shit.
It's a bit much.
Yeah, it's too much, exactly.
This is like FF7 Reaper, there's already a game that's a lot.
Like what they're asking you to do
in terms of the game is a lot, dude.
So maybe if this was strictly a turn-based game,
I understand it, but it's not.
This is like an action game, turn-based game.
Yeah, it could be overwhelming, that's all I'm saying.
I think it could be overwhelming.
I think you have to make those cool team ideas
not live and in the moment.
I think you have to make them before the fight starts
with either better blue materia, synergy materia,
that shit, that shit's amazing, bro.
I think straight up, the more stuff like elemental materia,
Synergy Materias, more ability to give your other characters
commands to do things when things happen, awesome.
Awesome, I love that shit.
What does Synergy Materia do again?
So Synergy links with a green materia usually,
and if a character has it, it procs
if somebody else uses their ATB.
So if anybody uses any kind of ATB,
Synergy Materia goes off on the other character
and they cast that spell.
Why is that so powerful?
because that cast costs nothing.
No MP, no cost, no ATB cost.
There's a reason you only get one
because you just got this dude in the background just casting Meteor at any point.
You use you use a normal like weapons skill or something.
Boom, they're casting the biggest spell in the game.
It's gross. It's mad powerful, dude.
It's when it's when you truly start to become like a god in that game.
The only the only downside of it is that when they cast those big spells they have long cast time so that character kind of becomes
relegated just to doing that
You never used it. It's stupid good
If you go back and play the game put
maxed out petrify
earth materia
Do that you boom do maxed out petrify or maxed out meteor
If Comedier is like I never I never even unlocked Meteor 2, bro
I don't even know what that shit looks like. What the fuck hold on a second. I
Just realized I never leveled up Meteor to the final one or come comment materia. Sorry I
Never saw what this looks like
I'm gonna watch it right now. This is the first time I've ever seen this
I never saw a Comedier, which is Meteor 2 or sorry comment 2
What does that look like?
Because already, Comet is insane.
What is that?
Oh, this poor Jabberwock isn't even going to get the move.
of
Here it comes.
Chatton, remember when I said that your, even your PlayStation 5s will not be able to handle
this game. No matter what, you will not get a consistent framerate and FF7
rebirth if you have full utilization of the combat system.
and
that's crazy dude
Uh
Let me see it this by itself
Oh, they're just way more powerful, okay. Yeah, they're just way more powerful. That's what it is
Jesus man stop it's already dead
No wonder Sephiroth killed Aerith. No wonder this dude killed Aerith. Jesus, he's way too OP.
Did you see Sephiroth's limit break from Remake in the last fight? Yeah, I think so. I did it too.
Sephiroth vs Sephiroth no damage? What?
Sephiroth vs Sephiroth no damage? What is this shit?
Watch this, Vlad.
So this is just the same Sephiroth you get from the beginning of the game.
It's just that he's used now. He's max level.
So somebody modded in that character in their moveset.
Because Sephiroth has so many mechanics, dude.
Yeah, good dude, chat.
I played through that opening demo fight with Sephiroth in cloud.
I controlled Sephiroth like the whole time.
He's insane.
He has so many mechanics you will never realize that he has, dude.
They made him like a fully functional realized character that you will never get to play
again throughout the whole game.
I'm like, why?
Why was there so much effort, dude?
Like, why does he have all these hidden tech that you can barely ever use?
The only way you get to play it again is if you mod it.
Are you going to parry this, dude?
Can I... Can I... Why?
Hahahaha!
Why?
That was crazy.
Oh, he's actually playable in VR missions I never got that far.
He's playable after you unlock him.
So you're telling me that this isn't modded?
You're telling me that this is actually not modded?
He's just playable in the game. This is a normal thing the game gives you?
Wow, that's me dude. I didn't get I didn't get all the way through the VR missions. I'm a fake SF7 fan
No, I know he's not in the open world I'm saying in the VR mission specifically
I still have a weird point in my life where I don't want to have 7 rebirth to end until
the next game is out.
Is that weird?
I still, there's still somewhat of a comforting feeling that I didn't do everything.
So I feel like there's always something to do.
I'm going to save that shit right before the next game comes out.
Um, I never, and that was the thing even with hard mode where I was like kind of like not
completely willing to just fly through this shit all over again.
Where's this song?
Oh, where'd I stop in hard mode?
Oh, it's demon wall.
I want to watch that fight again, bro.
Um, where did I stop in hard mode?
I think we got pretty far.
I'd have to fire up the PlayStation to see.
I think we got pretty far. We might have gotten to gongaga in hard mode
No, we definitely did this scarlet fight in hard mode. We did
Yeah, that's modded hold on a second
Hold up.
Um.
Bro, what?
for a what?
It's been like this for a long time, really.
It's been like this for a long time. Really? What? Really? It's been like this for that
long?
It's twitch be twitching. I have your FF7 rebirth twitch playlist link. Really? There's
a link on Twitch. Certain categories got adjusted on Twitch so it doesn't register them anymore.
Do they have the old one? No, they don't. It's like if you click remake and nothing shows up.
Yeah, it sucks. It's because of the chapter system. It messed with the search. Go to your
FF7 Rebirth VODs. I mean, on Twitch, I know about that. I'm sorry, on YouTube, I know about that.
Um
Come on
Yeah
I don't even need to wait till we get there, I don't think.
I think we could actually spend time and go back there on-
Damn, PS5 Pro version looks very good.
So what the fuck?
on twitch itself your channel name and ff7 rebirth it lets you find the vods okay so
final fantasy seven rebirth max a million uh dude with the hell's my name on this website
that didn't work um that does this work
The underscore doing it, bro, like a billion other people.
ff7 rebirth. This is probably not a very good search function. Hold up.
I don't know. I actually do not know where this ended. 11-12, 11-22, that's the latest one.
Hey, Burb, can we not-
Yeah, I definitely played it beyond this as well. It all depends on the title, you know?
It all completely depends on the title.
show former videos 228 918 229 323 no these are these are the originals it is just searching titles
122.117. Shit, bro. This is just going to show the old shit. Yeah, this is the initial
play through.
Um.
River.
Hard.
Four, five.
Four, eight.
Bro, what?
They effectively.
No, this is the opening.
This ain't looking bad. This is the PS5 version.
Do you have a company?
Wow. I've been playing Tekken 8 for a long time.
Um, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's tough. It would show up down here.
Anyway, search Maximilian Dude Hard. There's a VOD from 12. Okay, Maximilian Dude Hard.
All right, here we go. This is gonna get real weird. 12-2. All right, good call.
cautions and what not.
Like a father-daughter kind of relationship.
Yeah.
Hey, there it was.
I was right, dude.
I'm like, we totally did this scarlet fight.
It was hard as shit.
Can I do arcane work, please?
We totally did this scarlet fight.
Yeah, we are right after Gungaga.
So, I would still have to do... Jesus, brother.
I would still have to do...
Hard Mode...
Cosmo Canyon...
As well as Nebelheim.
Bruh.
This is the last spot on Hard Mode. Yeah, this makes sense.
This is where I feel like it also stopped.
Um, that's not so bad.
If you don't have to do all the extra stuff, it's not so bad.
It's pretty quick.
All you have to do is to search my name with the word hard
It's like another 40 hours of gameplay. Um, yeah, I think I still want to save it. I think I still want to like kind of save it
Yeah, you know
Definitely they're not easy. Yeah, I know
Hard mode was fun
That was good
The G fight on hard tough I don't hard one. I can see it. I can see it. Anyway, whoa
Whoa, I think I was like trying to talk about like gameplay stuff multi multi-party
I want a jump button
I'm gonna say it. I want a jump button
Yeah, I
Would prefer the next game to have a jump button
In battle sure. Yeah, sure
um oh yeah i wanted to see the demon gate fuck you bro f you bro you got me all like
booking at this shit
coming a look at this shit of
distracted
Good demon wall.
You never hear this thing outside of this one fight.
It literally is just a Xenomorph.
Man, they bugged the crap out of me.
When every single playthrough I watch, they never switch off cloud.
Every single playthrough you watch, they never don't use cloud, dude.
It's just the one character they never switch.
Yeah, this fight's so cool, dude.
Yeah, I think it's one more fun to switch.
of
the way
the
that's very cool this fight's also bad ass
I think this is the next fight that I have to do in my current playthrough on PC.
I
Jesus
Rebirth soundtrack has a problem. It's got so many high-quality tracks that they get lost.
Like note, that's actually an issue, I think. They made so much music that is so good
that so many tracks will just get lost in the mix of like a hundred to two hundred to three hundred sounds. It's like...
It's a good problem to have, but it's almost like...
It's almost like sad that any any other game this would be like, oh, this is the best track. Here we go, dude.
the
god damn do I love the cutscene direction
it's so sick
chat by the way
this creature
is totally
Glenn's dog
Totally is bro. It's a dark star in in in crisis core
Sephiroth saves Glenn's dog and he has like a weird star mark on his head and
This dog's name is dark star
Rufus shoots Glenn in the back and
Steals his dog and does experiments on it. It's totally Glenn's fucking dog
They did hold on a second ever seven Rufus Glenn
The ever crisis
This had a cutscene though
Right
This definitely wasn't this
It's a cool-ass Rufus picture.
i haven't seen this scene i've only seen the uh... the cg one
Yeah, which is the end of that?
Oh no, I'll never tell my father, I'll never tell my son, Cloud, what I felt about him.
I'll never tell Claudia I love her.
Please God, no.
That's the one thing I don't want to come around is that Glenn is randomly ass-clouds-dad!
Oh Jesus dude, please no.
The book hints it yeah, but the book hints it but it's also doesn't make any sense like there's like an eight-year gap that makes no sense
Where where is the ff7 crisis core CG?
Not crisis score ever crisis
I
Turn up that seven book is multiple one just came out
The sound is up for you guys too.
Hold on a second, is the sound all goofy for you guys as well?
Let me do this.
A bit?
Yeah.
I don't want to kill it.
Kill it, open it back up.
Uh, hold up.
It's just quiet.
Yeah.
And it's like desynced on my end.
Hold on a second.
It brings back everything.
And it didn't.
Right.
That's right.
Piece of shit!
Come on, it's like, let me get YouTube chat back up.
There we go.
Look at those weird desync...
burb.
It's the video, don't worry. Oh, really?
You're right it is totally is
It's not an effective way to do it.
I think it's a good idea.
Why do you know that?
That was a fair play.
He has a switch-axe.
Oh, you're telling me this is part of the video?
First soldier shit.
Um, yeah.
Yeah, I think that was the one.
Can't remember.
Shut up, you!
Um, Ever Crisis is weird.
War Crisis is definitely an interesting way to end between all this stuff, which was the
entire goal.
Definitely is a choice to effectively remake the entirety of Durgis' Herberus, or most
you all of it so weird that they turn this into man
I'm wondering if some characterization changes.
I'm legit curious.
Yeah, it's all canon.
No, I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
I'm saying the whole point of Sephiroth remaking Final Fantasy 7 is that it doesn't have to
happen.
Right?
That's it.
all I'm saying.
Is DERG received badly upon its release?
If we talked about its critical reception at the time...
Yes, it was not great.
He got an average like a six out of 10.
Some gave it good reviews over time, but yeah.
It sucks, dude.
People were looking forward to it and it was just like, I don't know, bro.
Who the fuck gave it a 9? Who the fuck? Who gave this shit a 9? Anyway.
Yeah, I think Adam Sessler gave it like a 2 out of 5. And I was like, yeah, that's not true, it's probably great.
And I bought it myself and I was like, this shit sucks.
This shit sucks.
Man, oh man, this shit sucks.
We were looking forward to it, man.
Strife King, thanks for the prime, dude.
We out here, dawg.
I know.
Final moments.
Ryu Chah, thanks for the 777.
Recently reconnected with a friend
and we discovered that we were into 7 Remake.
And he told me he only uses cloud in my jaw drop,
as I didn't think, what you said about people only using cloud existed.
Yeah, I know that's...
You have to realize that the developers know that too.
They have to have an entire game designed around the fact that some people will just never switch from cloud.
Never will.
Uh, well, that's, and that's kind of nuts, dude.
The game still has to work if you just never switched any other character.
Yo, Mega, thanks for the five gift subs, dude. Appreciate it.
And nothing else.
Like you can't have moments where it's like it forces you to use the other character
because of a gameplay limitation. They never do that.
You just stay cloud the whole goddamn time. The only time you switch another character is if he dies and you have to revive him.
Yeah, but on hard mode that doesn't fly.
On hard mode you have to use character counters.
Yeah, they do at the end, technically, too. And in certain gameplay segments, that's true. You
have to be like red and Barrett. Yeah, you have no choice. You never understand when people
refuse to actually try out mechanics. A lot of people, when they play RPGs, are there just to
beat it. They're not there to like engage with it as a video game. I had friends that played OG FF7
back in that way back in the day, and they never did any fights. If they didn't have to do a fight,
they ran away from it. So they just played through the whole thing, but without fighting.
And not to make it harder, they just didn't want to fight. So they just wanted to play it for the
the story. Hellhouse is pretty difficult and hard, but oh yeah, it's hard to shit. But
why though? Because they're not in it to like engage gameplay stuff. This is what this is
the way most people are chat. Most people aren't like video game enthusiasts that like,
you know, the shit they if you do that shit, right? If you do that shit where you actually
investigate characters and see what they do and how they function and why they work the
way they do and the little nuances in between. You're effectively like a really high level
film buff. You know, like, like imagine there's a movie buff that's really into the movies
knows all the people that are into the movies that make them, why they do it, what technology
they use, what lenses they use, all that shit, what the direction of the cinematographer
was like, turbo nerds like cinephile shit, right? That's effectively what you are. You're
kind of like the upper echelon top like 1% of people that are really into this
stuff and the craft of this stuff instead of just consuming. Most people are
just consumers man. Like and that's fine. Most people just like to consume shit
and not think about it. Most people do that.
Aerith gameplay. Now people won't even use her because she's hard to use. Yeah
That's normal.
There's nothing wrong with that.
It really, there's nothing wrong with it.
It's just that when you create shit,
you have to realize that you can't just
it be appealing to the people that are like psychotic
gameplay folks, which is why I echoed the statement.
It's going to be hard to really expand and give you
a ton more abilities and things that you can do in FF7 part 3
and make the characters have all these more abilities and shit
all this more team stuff when are people going to feel overwhelmed? You have to start thinking of
that. You have to start expanding but simplifying, you know. Robert, thanks for the five. I've been
playing the O3 and I think you're going to love the ninja stuff in the game. Kind of feels like
Bloodborne where it rewards attacking and speed. Yeah, I already felt that a little bit.
but quadruple synergies win, when will it end?
Synergy abilities were already mad OP, you know?
They were already stupid, good.
I don't know.
How do they make that shit even better and more engaging?
Neo3 is legit amazing.
The game's really fun.
I think my download is done for it too, just in case.
It is, yeah, I downloaded the full game.
Bro, I didn't even, I have a sponsorship for that thing tomorrow and I didn't want to lose
my save data and have like a retail preview build or something like that.
I didn't want to do that, so I just bought it, kind of spent the 70 bucks on it.
And I was like, okay, yeah, that's fine.
I'll just buy it to make sure I get, you know, my save data carried over, even though I probably
would have been fine with the sponsor.
I'll still do the sponsored stream.
I just have, I just bought it myself.
The game's like a hundred gigabytes.
Yeah, it's big. It's really big.
Well, let me play through the OG FF7 again
before part three comes out.
My dude, I can't even tell you how much shit
I'm gonna play through before FF7 part three comes out.
I can't even tell you, like,
it's the last time for us to do this shit.
It doesn't mean the last time I'm ever gonna play FF7 again,
but what I'm saying is the last time of us playing
these older games to build up to the excitement
of a new game, this is the last opportunity to do it.
It'll be the last year for us to have this opportunity to do it.
So there might be subscription incentives,
like sub-goals leading up to this stuff, where I played Dirge again.
That could happen, not any time soon.
But play through the OG, play through New Threat 2,
play through Remake and Rebirth and all that kind of stuff.
There might legit be play through OG crisis score, you know,
crisis score reunion, figure it out.
Subgoal to play dirge again.
That can happen, I'm down with it.
That's our last opportunity for that to happen.
I will never play that shit-ass game ever again.
I will never.
Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 as well at SF Rothen. We did that dude. We literally did that. Like legit.
So I have info you don't know about in the FF games. Absolutely. I know what Final Fantasy 18
is like. It starts off with Barrett and Cloud Kissing. Absolutely. I just got a text from Nomura
dude. You better stick around. You better subscribe and donate. You know maybe you'll find out more.
just subscribe and donate tactics with cloud again um i mean that could happen if that game
gets the update i wouldn't even mind going back to it i wouldn't even mind
why i still have said that clouded bear kissing come on dude we have to give the
shipping community something that's what they want
advent children watch party i'd love that to be a thing i'd love that to be a thing
I don't know if we ever could, because the WatchParty functionality on Twitch doesn't
exist anymore, man.
That shit's gone.
So we would almost have to put a timer on the screen or some shit.
I don't know.
incentive to watch the last order anime again. Yeesh. Maybe a YouTube exclusive. YouTube chat,
you think that's better on YouTube? Wait a minute, you think watching a movie on YouTube
is better? It's worse. Twitch just mutes the VOD. Like, YouTube will prevent you from monetizing
anything from this point forward because your sus is fuck.
Like YouTube is way harder.
YouTube will nuke you, especially if you stream it.
Bro, I don't know if you guys have ever watched
what those channels have to get away with, with watching movies
and their reactions to movies and shit.
You ever noticed what they have to do to like the footage of the movie
and how much they have to cut?
They have to like cut their reactions to stuff out
and then they put it in, they put it out and they put it in.
it's so annoying. There's like, literally a footage, they can only have footage of the movie up
with some sounds and they, they, they have to desaturate or flip the image or have it exposed
on screen for only two to three seconds or mute themselves, mute, mute the movie and just have
themselves. It's, it's, it's a nightmare. And it's like, just watching this as a nightmare, dude.
And that's the only way they can do that is if they can make the video and actually monetize
it or something like that much less not have it flag like crazy yeah reacts are
on patreon and shit I can see that being that but I don't have that I don't
have like a I don't have a patreon or anything
and
flow
There is
Rumors of twitch streamers who utilize youtube-free movies in a gray area of copyright the disabled clips and delete the vault and not illegally distribute copies your choice
I don't think I need to do that
Right, I don't think I need to take any of these weird unnecessary risks and shit
right? And by gray area, it just means that you're hoping you don't get caught.
That's it. You're just hoping you don't get caught. And I'd prefer not to like risk
17 years of my life
just to watch something that we've all seen before.
We did this before with aliens. We watched aliens on stream, but that was when tWitch actually supported the watch party thing
That was cool. It was fun
Just for advent children, yeah, I mean I like advent children don't get me wrong there's a lot
I like about that movie the movie also sucks
The movie also takes FF7 down a path that has taken until Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Remedy, like, to be completely honest.
It has some incredibly cool shit in it while it also is abysmally lame.
But I love it. Don't get me wrong, I love it.
Yeah, I saw it in theaters last year. Did you see it as well, subtext? Was it in your
area? Who went to go see Advent Children in theaters? It was a limited release last year
before Rebirth came out. And about like two weeks before Rebirth came out, you can go
see FF7 Advent Children in like about like, there was like a few hundred screens across
the U.S. So it was at Adobe Cinema. I went there in LA and I watched it and they had
like the English. So it was crazy, the English version. It was cool. They have a Square Enix
also distributed it and they had an entire introduction. Dude, we should we should pull
that up. I don't think I'll get in trouble for that. Nobody gives a shit. FF seven Advent
children intro 2024.
What's the best way to look that up chat? The, the shit that
was in theaters, people had to cam footage it. It was just
interviews with the directors and Nomura and stuff like that.
Man.
What the heck was it?
Yeah, it's like the theater recording, which was specifically for fans.
7-Hand-Bent children, re-release.
Yo, Terry, thank you.
Chat's not showing up on this scene.
Yeah.
We'll start and take this down.
So it must mean that it's okay.
Yeah
Watching the movie in theaters felt kind of magical. I watched it in theaters when it first premiered
It felt crazy. I went with my wife again me and JJ saw it in 2005
that we saw it at the Cinorama Dome in Hollywood and Square premiered it for the first time.
I don't know, I've already been out in Japan for a long time in the U.S.
So it was pretty crazy. It was like legit 20 years later.
I think it was Mandy Moore, it was Aerith, right?
It was both.
She played Kingdom Hearts 1 Aerith.
Gotcha.
I'm a little bit upset about that, but I see him as a great fan.
I believe he has a great personality.
I think he is a great fan of yours.
He's a great fan of yours, but I think he's a great fan of you.
Lance Bass was the first voice of Sephiroth.
I was like, yeah, I'm like, thank you.
She's a really good guy.
Yeah, you're the one that's like, yeah,
you're the one that's like, yeah.
So I put it on you, and I was like, yeah,
you know, you have your own mask.
Dude, no, FF7 Advent Children is an insane-looking movie.
There was never action set pieces put to film
like the action set pieces in FF7 Advent Children.
They still hold up.
Like, in a movie setting, they're unbelievably cool.
and that shit was technologically impossible at the time.
Nobody was doing shit like that for a very, very long time.
I cannot believe how good the choreography
and the camera work hold up.
In 2004, 2005.
That shit is so,
I don't think FF7 Advent Children as an entire movie is influential.
I don't think it really is as a story.
No, I think the action set pieces massively influential hugely.
I think like the way action set pieces in digital format are composed.
We're mostly built upon the frigging foundation of Advent Children.
Like that that movie started that shit for the most part.
Yeah, Monty Home, same shit.
It inspired like an entire generation of filmmakers and stuff.
Even like Marvel directors say their most influential movie was Advent Children.
It's like, whoa dude, that's insane.
That's where we started, so it's a very original film.
The remake project had some advent children, so it was very smooth.
Yeah, you know what Advent Children is like?
You have like a sort of like nonsensical movie where like the visuals are mind-blowing
and they sort of like completely captivate the shit out of you.
I feel like Advent Children is the Akira of the mid-2000s.
where this thing comes out from japan
and it's just mind-blowing visually and it takes like it it creates an entire
virality and takes the world by storm it's pretty much the akira of the mid
two thousands
it's a very good point
that's a weird ass take
akira is uh... again
i think it's a pretty sound take because the akira i own all the make the akira
The original novels and shit I collected all of the Dark Horse comics of that shit. It's nothing like the movie
The movie is like one-tenth of what the story of Akira is it has an insane
Crazy-ass like drop-off that is like dude. What the hell is this shit?
So the movie is like visually incredible
But it makes no goddamn sense because the the source material it's coming from is like nothing
So it's like, dude, why the hell did you make a movie out of one tenth of the story?
What is going on?
And then Advent Children completely misinterprets sort of like the visuals and aesthetic of
what people like about Final Fantasy VII, and sort of like recontextualizes all of this
shit, like Advent Children is really good CGI, relax.
Wait a minute.
Why is animated CGI not as valuable as 2D animation?
That's an interesting take.
Why is one less valuable than the other?
Hero is pretty influential. So was this.
This was one better than the other.
Like this was one of the first movies of like pure virality.
Like people don't know what torrents are nowadays.
They have no idea what that term means.
But the way the entire like anime nerd community existed was from torrents in this time frame.
So one of the most shared things on the internet period was Advent Children.
it was raw advent children or fan sub advent children before it eventually got its American
release way later like an entire year later utorrent bitch this is way before utorrent
this was before that stuff became somewhat standardized like my dude this is way before that
shit so while like this this predates an era that is early internet still relatively speaking
like first 10 years of the internet, where file sharing became an actual thing that was
pretty much known of how you share entertainment with each other. My dude, it was friggin massive.
It was like, like so many downloads, it would make your head spin. How many people like that
watch this shit. It's insane. The only reason I think that you don't understand this is that you
You weren't alive. You were not there. You were not conscious enough or old enough to know that how this shit was working.
And for anybody that was any part close to the anime or dude, if you went to any kind of convention, the amount of FF7 Advent Children cosplayers was embarrassing.
It was embarrassing that you chose to dress up as this character and about
Thousands of other people chose the same shit like it was it was huge and it wasn't even available
There wasn't even translations of this shit people watch this shit raw and
Didn't even know what was happening with the story in fact for most people that got less interesting when they got subs
There's a phenomenon like it was it was nuts
Also, goes on to be the best selling DVD ever in Japan, like, upon its release in
the one region that it was available is the best selling movie of all time when it comes
out on DVD in Japan. It was it made so much it was making the amount of money that full
scale Final Fantasy games were making like it was one of the most profitable films ever
distributed to DVD. Like it and that was specifically the Japanese release. I went to a Kido Kaniya
to get my pre-ordered copy, and I had to wait in line
for my pre-ordered copy for an hour
just to pick up my pre-ordered DVD copy.
These bitches imported from Japan, a massive stack,
like literal boxes on boxes
of people that were hitting the shit up.
Like it was nuts, dude.
How much did it sell here in America?
I think the eventual DVD release, which came much later, did only OK, because by that time,
everybody had seen it.
Everybody had seen it.
It came out.
This took a long time for it to eventually get a release jet.
The spirits within almost killed Square Enix and this movie saved them.
This movie did a lot for them as a company.
Did Max pirate this from a torrent site?
Chat, this comes from an era where the rules had not been established for this shit yet.
Like the ability for you to pirate from torrent sites, like knowing what that is, was not
even established in law yet.
This was still when things like DMCA and like what the rules
were about what is allowed for you to do this.
This is still when Lars Ulrich from friggin Metallica and shit
was establishing what is OK.
Is this shit allowed?
Should you be able to copy and replicate and share?
Like this was before the you wouldn't download a car.
This is before that.
Like that shit was like the later part of the 2010s, 2007, 2008 shit.
That was when there was like the only reason you wouldn't download a car was
an advertisement you saw is because that was the film industry and the music
industries trying to get you afraid that this shit is bad and to rile up Congress
and shit to make laws against it.
This was literally the wild West.
Like it was the very early portions of this shit.
download a car from 2004? What? They ran those campaigns for a long time. Holy shit. For
a very long time. The only reason that was the way it was is because there was no direct
laws against it yet. They were trying to scare you, right? They were trying to terrify you
that you should not be allowed to do this shit. It was like, you know how like in the
80s they had to get people to wear seatbelts finally and then nobody eventually did it.
Everyone was like this is fucking stupid you can't tell me how to how to drive a car.
Eventually it becomes the thing that everyone understands that oh you should be doing this.
This is not a thing we should be doing. We shouldn't be downloading this. We should not be
we should be wearing seatbelts like a culturally accepted thing. It was not at the time. This is
This is just the way society worked, bro.
He wouldn't downlod a seat well.
Jesus
Really does look like the movie it's wild that looks like advent children
In fact, it has a way better art direction, it has way better art direction.
Damn. Damn. I wonder what he says here. I can't remember.
Yeah, that's always been clear. But like, we want to bring advent children level visuals to Final Fantasy 7 proper.
So, cut off this thing from that, it's not a thing.
Yeah.
Wasn't burning movies or songs on CDs or recording shows on cassette or songs the
same as tormenting?
You mean torrenting?
No, torrenting is file sharing.
It's just file sharing.
It wasn't designed to share or specific or share copyright and content.
It's just a file sharing peer to peer service.
That's all it was.
And the dawn of that shit was like the early 2000s.
Yeah, DMCA was 1998, but like limitations on file sharing, Pirate Bay, all that kind
of stuff.
fight against them really began around like the mid-2000s people still torrent
I can answer that realize how young the chat is at times yeah where you have to
like educate on this history have you realized that damn people really didn't
know who really don't know about this let's not even talk about news groups
because they eventually came down hard on that shit, dude.
I don't even know if news groups work anymore, chat.
Does anybody tell me?
Dude, I'll just speak candidly about that.
Do news groups even work anymore?
Does Usenet still operate?
Yeah, I used to pay for Usenet, bro.
Does that shit even exist?
Does that still even function?
Usenet is practically Torrance before Torrance.
you know still paying damn
easy that's crazy you don't remember use that it was a specific
was a very specific part of the internet you know
NZB enjoyers
eventually use that became subscription base
Eventually, if you wanted to get access to the good NZBs, people would charge for it.
And the quality of the NZBs, and not knowing that you were going to get something gross
that was going to destroy your computer or some shit, that was definitely not relegated
in any way, you know?
I think it is completely fair to say that more people know about advent children than ff7. I
Think that's a completely fair thing
Which is which is why the perception of what final fantasy 7 is and how the characters act is so
misplaced
Where it's like why do people think this about cloud and ff7 because more people saw advent children than played ff7
straight up like I guarantee you more people
chat when I say like
When you saw on Torrance of this stuff, 50 million downloads in like 2003, this movie
has been downloaded 50 million times from this one specific rip, 50 million downloads
in 2003, not even counting the other subsequent versions that would get subs and then releases
later on that were DVDs and shit like that, an astronomical amount of people were downloading
and watching this shit. Like, insane. So there is way more people that were exposed
to this stuff. Sorry, did I say 2003? Well, you know what I mean. Like, right around 2004-2005
when the Japanese version came out. Because the Japanese version was fucking what, 2004-ish
in Japan? The English version was 05? Anyway, I'm reading the fucking chat at the same time.
Still, there's a stupid amount of people, like a dumb amount of people that downloaded this
shit. All I'm saying is that more people saw Advent Children than play the game. Way more.
So many people were fans of this shit, not knowing that this is just how the characters
act and stuff, and it's like, huh, it's not, but okay. And it's almost like that's the point
of remake. That's the point of it existing was that, oh, now we get to like tie this up and
actually tell the story that we intended to tell with the visuals of the movie that was so popular.
We just like how they've retorted Aerith and admin children, of course!
But she's this benevolent holy chick!
It's weird!
They do the same shit in Kingdom Hearts!
It's fucking weird!
Spin off
Google the word benevolent just Google it you feel better
Try to spell it first
All of these are not separate stories, but will in some way all be connected this time
around.
I'm going to go back and read this part again.
The whispers that appear at the end of the previous FF7 Remake.
There are three that are inspired by Advent Children will appear, yeah?
We figured that out.
True OGs figured that out real quick.
All of these are not separate stories.
So that's why they're appearing, because they're not separate stories.
But well in some way, all be connected this time around.
It's a fucking sequel, dude.
Come on!
I still have to argue this.
I still have to see this crazy argument that people are saying that this is legit not a
sequel, just a spicy remake.
And I'm like, bro, how many times do they have to say this shit?
FF7 remake series spicy remake or sequel
Both it's kind of true it kind of is true
The multiverse story is going to stay on the right, which is why they need to, I think
they need to address the multiverse aspect of the story, that it isn't.
The conclusion is that it isn't anymore, but there is no actual multiverse or timelines,
isn't. I think that needs to be addressed quickly in the next game. I hope it does.
For new people, it's a remake. For old people, it's a sequel and it's designed that way.
I think that's actually true. Yeah, no shit. I think that actually could be,
be that actually could be a good way of looking at it,
or it's specifically designed to be a remake for new folks
and pretty much a sequel for OGs.
You know what, and it's smart,
because you know what it also does?
It makes the people that become new fans,
which are a lot now.
There's a lot of people that were never into this ship
before that are just like,
damn, this shit's the bee's knees.
This is great.
It makes those people want to investigate the old shit, makes them curious.
So they'll want to check out Crisis Core, which is a product that you can buy.
They'll want to check out Final Fantasy 7, which is an older game that you can buy now
on modern systems, you know?
I think that's smart.
If you want to learn more about ever crisis and stuff like that, you can go play Ever Crisis.
There are other means for you to spend money on this franchise, specifically if you are
becoming invested to learn more this is so thematically just like the scorpion
fight because Barrett and Cloud like have all this crazy, you know, consequential dialogue
with each other throughout the entire thing. And then Cloud and Sephiroth have the exact
same thing. It's like a super high effort boss fight right at the beginning of the game.
Was Last Oval Order ever or not loved by fans?
From the very beginning it was dog shit.
From the very beginning.
The moment that shit came out, when we watched it, like the 30 minute OVA that it was, immediately
was unaccepted.
later on was retconned by Square Enix themselves. It also just wasn't that good. It looked nice,
but it just wasn't. Like, at least like Advent Children tells like a satisfying story where it
has like a beginning, middle, and end where a character's going through shit. Cloud obviously
grows as a character through the story, even though it's hard to follow and goofy. At least
there's something that brings you from beginning to end and elevation of the events and Sephiroth
is summoned in the end, right? Yeah. Crisis score is just like a weird very insular moment of FF7
that greatly recontextualizes it and misinterprets the original. It's just bad.
Oh, sorry. Last order, not crisis order. Last order. Too many ever-crisis cores, last orders.
Before crisis-ies.
Different music.
I was in a nearly packed theater for this shit.
And people were laughing at some of the lines of dialogue.
There was audibly in serious scenes, in moments that are like supposed to be serious, people
actively laughed at characters saying certain things.
Because dude, the way they handled dub back then is insanely different.
Like it is, it's brutally corny.
At the time, it was like amazing, characters have voices, wow, this is crazy, like, FF7
never had this before, it was genuinely surprising, but now it's like, now almost people just
want it to be redubbed, yeah, which is not, should not happen, like the original is the
original, but bro, it was rough, you know, it's just, it's a very, it's a sign of the
times kind of movie, you know? Dubbing was in a very different anime in general and things
that were being dubbed from overseas was in a very different situation than it is nowadays.
It's charming, sort of, I mean, sort of, sort of, it eventually came out here in like 2006.
Damn.
This is a article from N Gadget.
If you're in Hollywood this Monday, April 3rd, in March of 2006, Square Enix and Sony
will be sponsoring a special preview of Final Fantasy VII Adventure at the Arclight Cinema
a center, I'm a dome, which doesn't exist anymore.
Actually, does it?
Did they tear it down?
Same night as the NCAA spends basketball championship game,
they might have a shot at getting a complimentary ticket
at the premiere when they hand about it noon.
The advent of the DVD and UMD going sale April 25th,
but the celebration screening is for one night only.
I was there.
Nomura was there.
Katase was there.
Cloud's voice actor was there.
The fucking UMD, bro.
I was there.
I was there the thousand years ago.
Yep, images.
That's the recent shift.
That is the more modern shift.
She's dude.
Um,
Screening will take place at the dome signature marquee on the sunset boulevard seats over 800 people has been the host of four decades of beers and blockbusters guaranteed admission to the screening will be handed out at noon in front of the dome will supplies last yeah we had to wait in line we had to wait in line for like hours.
Any additional opening seats will be distributed at the time of the screening, but we strongly
recommend trying to secure a seat at noon to guarantee entry.
The production staff and cast are scheduled for an appearance.
So this is the first time you, we've been watching this movie over and over again, like
for like a year in Japanese, right?
And then it got translated, fan translated, all that kind of stuff.
This was the first time it was like, oh, it's getting a localization. Oh, God. So all FF7 fans like jumped at the opportunity, you know
Anyway, I'm gonna go to Japan for Capcom Cup. Why?
For Capcom Cup the paid pay-per-view event Capcom Cup
up to watch Street Fighter 6?
No.
Hell no.
Will I even be watching it on stream?
No.
I sure am.
I sure am, man.
I love that Capcom Cup.
That shit's dead to me.
We can't even watch it.
I'll just wait for the results the next day.
There's going to be no trailers.
There's going to be no announcements.
There might be, and we might see it soon.
Like, yeah, is it an advent show that I mean JJ met?
No, I'd known JJ four years before advent children even came out.
And I met JJ in 2001.
You feel like you missed something?
Capcom Cup this year is the Street Fighter like World Finals
for Street Fighter specifically.
and you can't watch it. It's pay-per-view in Japan like only.
So you can't restream it. You can't. There's no audio feed. We will not be watching Capcom Cup
this year. It's Capcom Japan Esports Division has no communication with the developers of the game
or the audience. So it's just the way it is. They need to make money. It's insanely stupid.
The devs have come out and talked against it too, but they have no say in it
because they're not the eSports guys.
It's really sad.
So we don't get to watch,
we don't get to watch Capcom Cup this year.
Did you get to hear about who wins?
That's it.
No, they're not reversing it.
No, they already heard the feedback
and they didn't change anything.
Did you get to see the battlehub?
Do you?
If they do restream it to the battlehub,
then because they did test out twitch streaming in the battle hub if that does happen then yeah
we'll see but i don't think they'll do that i don't think they'll do that
to be honest chat the entire point of like capcom cup and it's been this way since 2014
and the first one that i went to is that you go to this event to celebrate the game at the end of
every year and you watch it play to the highest level of competition specifically for that one
game and you also get like a sneak peek at what the future is. So there is trailers,
there is announcements, the devs are talking about shit. It's like that and that's like
a healthy relationship, right? That's usually what happens with the Ark World Tour, it happens
with the Dragon Ball finals like it's a celebration at the end of this season to see how the game
is continuing. So that's exciting. It's exciting for not just people that want to watch the
competitive shit, you know, it's also exciting to see, yeah, I do want to know
where the game is going. Like announcements are interesting. What if
they still do announcements? They could, but I think it's severely less
interesting, bro. You know, I think it's just way less interesting that we're
just going to wait for a trailer release instead of all being there in the
moment to celebrate something. My dude, like being there live in the moment for
everybody to happen at the same time. Like that's a valuable thing to me. And it's just gone. It's
just gone. So it kills a lot of the excitement. It's just sad, you know, it's a huge part of,
it's a historically just a huge part of Capcom got. So anyway,
the biggest stream I ever had of all time from just like the purpose of also being a streamer
that was encouraged to restream this stuff in the past. The biggest stream I've ever had of all time
chat was like 65 to 70,000 viewers. And that was Capcom Cup 2022. And it was the teaser of the
future of Street Fighter to be shown at Capcom Cup. And yeah, yeah, we were all waiting. It was hyped
up and we were all excited watching the end of Capcom Cup and excited to see like this is the
the last big tournament in Street Fighter 5, dude, here we go.
Like, no shit, I had like 65,000 viewers on Twitch alone.
It was insane.
So it's like, yeah, I look for those kind of moments.
I tried to seek out those kind of moments,
it was pretty cool.
The wide-review one, yeah.
The wide-review one with the bad logo, that was the one.
All right, you ready with Luke?
I never back it down.
That's shit. Yeah, that was it.
Forgot about that one. Hey, I'm here to remember. I'm here to remind you that it happened
It I never forgot shant. It's like it was yesterday for me
Shit was four years ago
From a city of a town
Where did that song go
That song's not even in the trailer anymore.
Shit, dude.
Let's go!
5.
Yeah, Dead Rising 5.
Oh, Frank's back in Pogform.
Man, one and two are fun.
I am-
All right, he's going to play the game versus Gakko.
That's convincing.
Here we go.
All right, now we get it, now we get it.
What?
Fighting games?
What am I looking at?
10-cl-what?
Classic brandies.
This is where they first announced COC-1.
OK.
Wait, what?
Power stone.
How long?
Power stone.
Baby, come on.
Give me some power stone.
All right.
Dark Starker is one.
Yeah.
They're in the line.
This is one of them.
That's three upper.
I love it.
Oh, yeah.
We did it.
What's going on?
Yo!
OK, thanks.
Yeah, let's see.
Oh, shit.
Yo!
What is this?
Is that?
All right, who's that?
I knew it back in the what the hell is this?
Oh, look, it's looking totally load.
It's totally the good beef.
All right, what is this?
He's hungry.
What?
There isn't a shit ass logo.
Damn it.
What?
They changed that shit.
What's appropriate?
Amazing.
Hot for you.
What did the date say?
Oh, logo was bad.
It was a placeholder, you know?
But damn, did they get a lot of criticism for that shit?
God damn, did they get a lot of criticisms for that shit?
Right.
I'm right.
If you hit her.
Reused dick outline?
Yeah, you're looking.
Metro city.
All right.
Shut up chat.
Giant attack?
I love it.
Analyze the oh, holy shit out of that trailer
Do every piece of analysis that I that came out of that short ass trailer of Ryu and look looking at each other
All came true
Like everything that I fucking said about it
I'm just gonna throw that out there with retrospect all the crazy ass theorizing videos
We got out of those few seconds five videos out of that trailer of gameplay things
thematic elements music choices everything ended up happening all of it was intentionally
It was super intentional.
Yeah!
When you go looking for strength, it's not like a game.
This journey doesn't have a real ending.
Okay, man.
We're ready to begin.
Okay.
All right.
Start off in the right foot in this city.
Oh, Luke looks way better.
Yeah.
Me, dad, do it.
Fucking what?
Let's go!
This was pretty much a world tour trailer.
Oh my God!
This is one of the reasons why Street Fighter 6 sold as good as it did.
Show me the game.
What the?
This is one of the games sold as good as it did.
What am I looking at?
John World Tour.
Holy shit!
Holy shit
I still haven't played it
Online was too good
Holy shit! Oh my god, there's so much stuff happening!
Have we got a drunken boxer? Oh my fucking god!
Oh my god!
It looks so normal now.
Oh my god, damn dude. Oh my god, what the fuck?
What it says Jamie? Why do I keep running into him?
Oh yeah, I played the demo of World Tour, I did.
There was a World Tour demo, I forgot about that.
What the fuck is that, a fucking parry, dude?
Holy shit, there's so much color!
We went on to review it for the next hour.
The slow motion was crazy.
What?
Anyway, good moments
Presentation was bought as a reason why it's now like the best-selling Street Fighter game
It's gonna it's gonna end up being the best-selling Street Fighter game of all time outside of like the OG Street Fighter 2 arcade and stuff like that
Which is just impossible to beat those like a multi-billion dollar game
It it's selling better than four
Obviously better than five better than any of the versions that came after two in arcades
It will it will eventually beat Street Fighter 2 SNES, which I think sold like
8 million copies base version Street Fighter 2 sold like 8 million copies on SNES
Yeah, it's gonna go on and be the best long street fighter
You know and they haven't even changed anything yet
They haven't really changed any aspects of the game to get people back on board. They just been like
They just been doing their thing. They've been continuing on and that's all they've been doing is just continuing on
Here's some more characters, here's some more balance, like every once in a while.
Here's some costumes every two years, some shit.
So there's never really been an opportunity for like a whole bunch of people
to jump back into Street Fighter outside of just new characters.
You still play SF4, of course.
It didn't go away.
And a cheese and would say I went to get the speed.
That's how you do it.
That's actually how you do it.
Yeah. Alex looks very cool. I think Alex is one of the big characters that is going to show up.
I think he's one of like the bigger characters of the season that will be showing up.
I never backing down.
I'm coming for you clown.
I'm waiting clown.
Penguin fan, thank you Akira.
Shae Ryu Ryu, BitCloud, Aki Blank, thank you very much.
I had about 15 people over from my high school class
to watch FF7 Advent Children Torrent.
Yeah, real ones know, ain't nobody gonna be out here
telling me that Advent Children was not a big deal
when it came out.
I'll criticize the shit out of the movie
as much as anybody else,
but that bitch as was a cultural phenomenon,
the likes of which was bigger than the original Final Fantasy 7.
Like, that was, it was big, dude.
Like almost everybody I knew in college, which is when that thing came out, everybody I knew
in college had seen it.
People that were not even like gaming people, you know, like every everybody had seen that
Advent Children, even people that were not into anime and shit like that had seen it.
It was like, damn, really crap.
It was like the moment 37 of Final Fantasy at that point.
There's the fight scenes, yeah, because people just liked the fight scenes.
They just thought the fight scenes were cool.
That was it.
Everyone had bootlegs of it too.
That's the other thing you have to realize is that, bro, Chinese bootlegs of old anime
movies and stuff were extremely prevalent.
They were everywhere on DVD.
You can get cheap copies of stuff all over the place.
Like that stuff isn't nearly as as prominent as it was before
because of physical does not being a thing.
But bro, rip off bootlegs of movies were massive, just massive.
That's how most people afforded anime is that you could not buy the official DVDs
because they were trying to rip you off.
You had to go to Suncoast and spend $35 on four episodes.
So it was like, dude, I'll just go down the street to some other place and they sell it for one fifth the cost.
And yeah, they were in like Divics format and shit. They just put it on a disc and there would be no menus to the DVD.
You just had to like, you just had to do channel next and it would just go episode, episode, episode. Yeah. Yeah, it was everywhere.
Anyway, it's worse now three episodes is over $60 for a blu-ray.
What three episodes for $60?
That's pretty bad.
What show is that?
Holy shit.
bad. Do you remember when Crunchyroll was a piracy website?
Oh, shit. Damn, that's crazy. That's crazy. Crunchyroll used to be how you pirated anime.
That's crazy. I knew about that, but I wasn't watching much anime at that time.
Yeah, I just completely forgot about that.
But people talked about, like, I just downloaded my anime off Crunchyroll.
And it's like, okay.
Now they're the villains.
They put so many ads on the site, they became the Empire.
Wow.
What era was that? Was that like the early 2010s? It was around the early to mid-2010s, right?
2006? Holy shit, that was a long time ago. I thought they went legit around 2011, yeah.
It was in the mid-2000s. Wow, dude. Holy shit. Those were the days.
I'm going to press some buttons and some shit real quick.
Just refresh.
YouTube had a ton of illegal anime chopped into parts.
No, it was chopped into 15-minute segments.
Because at that time, YouTube did not
have any copyright DMCA privacy system.
There was no thing that they could do to scan if this is,
people had to legit manually find it, that owned it,
and take it down.
So, you know what most people did?
People just uploaded full movies and stuff
or full shows to YouTube under Unlisted.
And then would share them on websites
and forums and stuff.
Or you would just watch a full thing that was Unlisted.
And eventually the people that made that stuff
like all the copyright holders and the companies
would find those Unlisted videos as well
and get them taken down.
This is normal shit, that's how it was.
The bub-bub from 15 minute videos was groundbreaking at the time.
Oh yeah, I remember the day YouTube switched to 60 FPS.
Everything on YouTube was 30 FPS forever, until one fateful day mid 2014.
I made a video about 60 FPS YouTube videos.
I was a full time YouTuber for a couple years when it was still 30 FPS.
What's the one song I wanted to change?
Oh, this song.
This is not it.
This is not it, bro.
Oh
Damn!
Damn! I'm literally back in the early 2000s here.
That's crazy.
I think this one sucked.
Nope.
No, I did not.
Nope, I did not.
Oh, I have blue wall in Elegant Palace.
Let's change that.
of
Yeah, I like it Paul fall pink
Phoenix fight a Tekken 3 announcer, bro.
I wish we could do the announcers of the old games somehow.
Fall Penix
Is the Tekken 3 announcer mod?
Really?
That's cool.
Fight.
They're not going to be able to say all the names.
Okay.
Good morning.
This is your favorite Tekken character, Fall Phoenix.
Oh, I hated the Pac-Man stage music. Was that it?
Chicken um oh yeah this shit sucked holy hell this shit was trash
and
of
I think this is not bad for the Pac-Man stage.
I like it. I like it. I'm going with it. I like it. Orange. Is that what it was called?
Uh, stained orange. Yeah, I like it. I'm going with it. It works. Oh, I wanted to change the
main menu theme.
Nah.
Where's the character select in second sex?
one
one second
It's a good game.
Sucks.
It sucks.
Where's the Tekken 6 character select theme?
Dust fins out.
of
Cool!
You're there, man.
Damn!
Yo, doorak residue, thank you!
Uh, Guzimane, Penguin's fan, Akira.
Sheree, Ryu, BitCloud, appreciate it, guys.
Yeah, that's a good, that's a good ass character selecting.
That is good.
It's a short loop, but it's good, yeah.
I don't know what to do, I just realized.
I'm going to go to player matches, let's see if anybody actually pops up.
Quick.
Kazooia!
Get ready for the next one.
This work
Yeah, that's a little back turn.
No!
Shit!
yet.
That's 96 damage counter hit. Wow. Wow. While standing 3. Holy shit.
Look at those like massive damage situations.
That's a weird ass combo.
Jesus man. Jesus. Wow. How much would he? Um, probably a little bit more. Heater rage
of the over 100
Did I get that God? I already have it. That's old news. We got that a month ago.
What's the combo here?
Yeah.
Yeah, I heard about this.
Yeah.
If they tech.
This is apparently mad good.
Wait.
I think it was this.
Hold up.
Yeah, there it is.
That's new tech, yeah.
You have to wait for it to, uh, uh...
I like it.
So it actually makes this mix-up even better, because this also will break wall, right?
You have to be fast with it. If I don't counter it...
It's saying two hits. I don't know if you can tack out of it, but that will break walls.
That means like you can hit low, hit somebody with a low, they try to punish, and then literally
get a walk rush. Even more disgusting shit. Like. Hold up. Wrong one. That doesn't work.
I don't think I get anything else
Yeah, it's an advantage to random wake up. Yeah, yeah
Whatever that was, it worked.
Okay, it is working.
It is working.
Yeah, it has to be an actual destructible wall for it to give you the legit follow-up,
but it's...
You'll catch people off guard.
Attack too quick and shit like I said I don't catch people off guard.
Yeah, we guess we're back here.
Little bitch.
Okay, he did I have to give him the benefit of the doubt he's just gonna do the same shit
Oh my god, wow this guy ducks
Let's go boy
It's wild.
Oh
Okay
Nice!
Okay, okay, whoo, had a warm-up
Fight!
God, I can't side step this character for shit!
Ah
Damn it
My combos, bro
Okay
All right, that was a good round.
of
five
of
I just let him do shit. I want to see what he would do if he was changing everything.
Okay, alright. They're just going to keep pressing buttons, so he's going to get 1-1-1
You're gonna get 1-1-1 now.
Okay.
Alright.
You have to keycharge. You didn't do anything wrong. Keycharge? Why? He's just playing.
He's not being disrespectful or anything. If it looks like he deserves to be keycharged
This is because he's playing Law.
Okay, missed it.
He's playing Law.
It just looks like they naturally play disrespectful.
People always start swinging from that range.
Whoa!
Side!
Ah!
Should kill.
Yeah.
I'll just cash out hard.
Ah
I was in a duck and one one one
Pick up.
Ooh.
Whoa!
Shit!
Oh, shit!
Let's go!
Damn, all right, I'm ending on the side throw my favorite throw.
I hate it that if I get side, I never think of doing... damn, okay
I never think of doing the optimal combo shit
I just always do disgusting side throw
Crack it the fuck out of me like this cool ass throw that Lars has from side is so sick
Get ready for the next battle

Wow, nice punish.

Yeah, yep.
Alright now is it going to respond?

Mother of me, but help back most of that time.
Oh my God, I'm standing.
Bears, bears, bears, bears.
Holy shit.
Bears.
Nice!
Shit.
What a response.
It would be how it do.
He entered bare flow state.
Panda has the highest win rate of any character.
Oh yeah, you better believe it.
Oh my god.
Okay, he's committing to full strings, right?
Nice block.
Is he committing to full strings that are like minus 15 and shit?
Holy shit.
That sucks my ass hole.
God damn it, does that suck!
Ludi is minus 15.
Oof!
Oh, wow, the duck was nuts, brother.
I went for a...
I went for Super.
Couldn't even get around after that first one.
Shit.
He had a couple of good blocks and I couldn't get around it, man.
Every time I felt like I blocked high, I got hit by something.
Scary
It bared does not do
Choose use your acid rounds use your acid rounds on the fair
Oh my god, bro.

Holy shit, ass!
Bad decision after bad decision.
Damn it!
Jesus, okay.
Nice.
Jinn is so press away fighting him, me too!
God damn it!
Come on, mate.
He's spamming a lot of duckable and interrupable stuff, yeah I gotta pay attention to it.
If he does, if he ends these strings, he's not doing it, he's not doing 1, 2, 4s, you
know.
Fight
And
Stop it
No, why did that boy wake up free?
Nice.
I'm not gonna let you end here.
to
Holy shit that low
Nice
Okay, dude he's pressing buttons like right at the start every single time.
What the fuck?
I mean he did.
two
of
Well, okay, he did a lot of obvious stuff that I was just not ready for
the obvious enders
The strings that I'm not ducking
Oh my god, dude.
I don't like it.
I'm still being troubled.
Wow, that did a lot of damage.
Okay.
Jesus Christ.

Oh my god!
Okay.
I'm breaking this throat out I swear to you swear I swear to you then once I'm sorry

up here and doing minus 15 shit. Zen 1 Samsara is the claw? Is that what it is? Is it the
claw? The up claw that launches. Oh! The big flippin' one. Okay, it's up forward, it's
up forward 3. Gotcha. Yeah, okay, that I know that's fun. It's the similar thing to Lars,
is that it's got some fast startup that you don't know if you can do anything about it, you know?
Yeah, Lars, it's also a panic move too. They serve the exact same purpose.
He needs to be in stance to do it, yeah, but he can enter that stance almost immediately.
He just presses back three up, like, up button.
That was actually what it was, not me selecting conditions.
That just didn't go on me to the start of the game.
No, let me just start it, yeah.
Bro, how hard is it to find a game?
Why don't hurry, my chat's gonna start sniping me.
Then I'm gonna have to stop playing.
That's work, okay.
67, that sucks.
There we go, now it's reaching 77, that's good.
Ah, did I have to sidestep for that?
not that far
I think I have the science of last
No! I don't think this works at all! Shit! Shit! I don't think it works at all.
Is nobody on? It is late.
It is late. It's much easier to rank up if you play in the day.
What's Street Fighter 6 has to do so that you play the game as much as Tekken?
That's a great question.
What does Street Fighter 6 have to do to get me to play this game as much as Tekken?
That is a great question.
I'm sorry.
Round one.
Fight.
Wow.
Jesus.
Well
Look at this exact same thing again, I think I did the same thing, too
So fair
My god.
Oh my god.
The old shit.
Oh my god.
I'll just track everywhere.
Oh my god, that whiffed?
Holy shit!
I'm low parried, bro.

Damn, that was a good call.
Really good call
Oh, game.

Oh, damn it.
Jesus, that hook caught me.
Guess for life.
Crazy whipline.
Good shit.
that
as party crashers mad good
the show the reasons is the show the super similar to what
large shoulders
like 13 frames start up but it's like minus a billion
if he blocks this isn't that if I block it is it
That's minus 14. Okay, Lars, I think it's, I think it's minus way less.
Or I'm sorry, minus way more.
It's 12 frames with the same launch punishable. Okay. Yeah, Lars minus 18. Okay.
Rod shoulder the sidestep shoulder is minus 14 for the next battle. Oh god, Lydia
Jesus Christ!
I did it.
Jesus Christ!
Okay.
Oh my god, damn, okay, it is a little stuttery chat.
This is a little stuttery.
Did it stand free?
Oh
God damn
I did that
Good God
I couldn't think because I have to feel like I have to think seven steps ahead.
I didn't even think about doing looking out for her super.
Oh my god.
Good!
I can't believe these interactions.
Hate it.
Fucking Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ!
I'm dying out here, man!
I'm dying!
Oh my god.
I ran up and tried to grab him in anticipation of heat smash and it was so tough.
Okay, his connection could not hold that shit together.
It was brutal.
That shit was brutal.
What the fuck?
Connection could not even handle it.
It was terrible.
It's probably for the better, I'm gonna lost my mind.
I wanna get my points back, dude.
I just wanna get ahead of the connection to get my points back.
That's it.
Shocked that's not the same guy.
This guy's playing Liddy, alright.
Alright, this guy's playing Lily.
Maybe he wants to sidestep a bunch.
Wow! Did she sidestep the throw?
Nice.
She sides up both rows.
What the fuck is happening?
Shit, lured it with.
Weird ass sidewall.
So launcher into launcher, right?
Thought I just witnessed.

I am being hit by everything apparently.
Hit me.
Let's go.
Good lord dude.
I blocked!
Block it.
Oh my god, Eric.
What is this big down move, right?
Does this shit also, uh, is this shit mad safe?
She's so hard to hit.
So does like this into this?
It has to be.
It has to be minus at least 10.
It's punishable, okay.
Minus 13, okay.
Thanks, Jack.
She just does it again.
She doesn't care.
He's not using me.
Okay, sure.
This really didn't work out for me, did it?
Wow, the craziest side she sidesteps every day
Okay, now she has massive frames here.
Something.
That's insane! The wall didn't give it to me there. That's insane!
No! I wanted... 4-4-1-2.
Yeah
Jesus god damn dude most evasive shit
Voila

My god
Same
Come back.
Round three, fight!
Got her!
The wrong hop kick, by ass.
Okay.
Big launcher and a big launcher.
WAAAH!
I literally tried to anti-side step and she did that.
Insane, bro.
I don't get it, I just feel like I can't press any button against her.
I feel like I just can't press any button against her, dude.
Okay, so here comes a sidestep mana horn.
My god
Let's go.
Yeah, good luck.
Good luck.
Here.
Get ready for the next battle.
No.
No, I don't hear.
No.
No, I don't hear.
That is, it was nuts that every single time I tried to strike or press back against her,
she was just behind me.
I'm like, bro, what?
How you, how'd you get back there?
What did you do to get back there?
Hi, the armor king is a sidestep right?
Oh my god.
Oh my shit.
Shit.

Excuse me?
Oh, that was a good call.
For block shoulder, it's minus 18, really.

Holy shit
Holy shit!
Oh my god!
I'll be fine!
whoo
Okay, I'm gonna find some shoes. I'm gonna shine some shoes

Slap these ankles.
Dude!
That sidestep.
I sidestepped right and that shit grabbed up the block out of me.
My god.
Ah.
Nice.
This is very good.
Okay, we'll start swinging from over there.
Oh
Now I took the bait
Yeah
Let's go
Yeah, I think the dude just refuses to block low
I don't know what the fuck's going on with you Leon
I got one. I got one, King.
Whether they care respect you there, I don't know.
I don't know.
I can really stagger the shit out of that.
Send 4 as solos when you have sent 3, 4.
Yeah, I know.
I just like threw it out to see if I can get him blocking high and he actually blocked
low.
I hate fighting Kazuya.
Kazuya.
of
some of the
Oh my god, ow!
Ow!
Bro, he literally ducked every single attack I did.
That was insane, dude.
He ducked every single attack I did.
Every piece of offense I threw out, he ducked it.
single god damn ones
Damn, I couldn't even get 1-1-1 out.
Couldn't even get 1-1-1 out.
Perfect sidestep electrics.
Brother!
Ground to you, fight!
Brother!
Yeah.
fucking hide the whole time now.
Oh
one
of
the
first
of
the
Let's go!
Fudge!
How much for Gessys?
It's a low though.
Fuckin' shit.
Is that a 12 frame?
Holy shit evasive!
My god damn control
Jesus Christ brother
Wow dude your sidesteps are insane.
That shit's insane.
I couldn't even do wall standing 4 after downback 1-3.
I couldn't even do wall standing 4. I thought that was supposed to stuff, period.
But it just went around it.
Fuck.
That is almost supposed to guarantee if it hits.
It's supposed to guarantee.
This and to this, it's supposed to be a movement crush.
It's supposed to be.
I don't get it.
I didn't think that was actually evasable.
I'm supposed to hold somebody down into plays.
He just sidestepped it.
I
Same gun.
That's a 1-2 break, right, Chad?
That's a 1-2 break, right Chad?
Oh my god.
Okay.
One more 2-break here.
I had a funny feeling this shit was coming and he would throw it out.
Oh my god, I am pressing one plus two.
Nice.
What the?
And the favorite sneakboot.
Let's see who does down 2-3 again.
There it was.
Oh
God damn that launch bro what?
That shit, it must have been a corner only thing.
That he gets a low counter hit into Lora Launcher at the wall only?
Okay, okay, I've never seen that shit before.
Oh, I'm pressing one plus two.
Damn.
I... what?
Nice.
Back calls, back calls, back calls.
Crazy ass sidestep dude. My tracking move got stuffed.
my god I didn't want to do this twice three times my dog
holy shit holy shit
fight
you stupid bastard
ah fake dog, suck it
I'm just getting hit. I'm holding back. I'm holding back. I'm holding back
Yeah, the mid level of this game offense is heavily rewarded defense is punished like really hard
Yeah, super high defense goes far, which is why you will never find super high defense
at mid level in this game.
It's just too hard to do.
What they did is they made the skill gap of Tekken massive.
The skill floor of the game is like, you know, fine, but they made it to be good at this
game way harder.
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God, when's it over?
Okay, okay.
Some of this casino's nature gate that defense, not really at high level man.
And people are actually good at this game not really people know when the casinos happening and stuff like that
It's really not that threatening
Jesus
Dude, he's stuck.
Maybe that 1-1-1 is not like tracking anymore.
Just getting sidestepped with holy shit and it's one of my best anti-tracking moves.
And that was real ready shit.
Infos get mixed by Anna.
Right, but she's like busted best in the game right now.
Undoubtedly busted best in the game.
There's a reason.
Since Casino off of literally everything.
Fuck me God damn really
I am really.
Oh my god, let's try to break this time.
Not it dude fucking hurts I
Got with punish for accidentally pressing down three
Got me
Oh my god, that sucks, brother.
I'm just getting very unlucky.
Extremely unlucky.
Shit, my shit was completely off axis for some reason, dude.
Why was it off axis?
I don't know.
We've entered the third dimension.
We just entered the third dimension, bro.
I am actually mad curious to play a character in the game that has really good tracking.
I'm really curious.
I wonder what it feels like to have someone that like, characters that like home,
and actually walk in on the majority of their attacks and stuff.
Because I swear, dude, it's the one thing about Lars that's nuts to me.
Play Brian or some shit?
I have a bryan's for shitheads
Clive? No, Clive's linear as fuck. Clive has all the same problem. Actually, no he doesn't.
He's got that dumb spinny shit that you can't get around.
How's your Senna?
The problem is I hate all these characters.
I hate them all.
Clive auto realigns like a mother?
Alright, maybe that's what I need to do.
Clive just seemed to have very low tracking, but he does have some of that good shit where
It's like you just can't get away from you have to hold it. I just want to feel like what it feels like
I just spin around people like crazy and never hit anything
Yeah, law you can escape
Every button, I never sidestep against law because every single button I try to sidestep
against it every time gets messed up.
He seems like he's unsidestepable.
Yeah, Steve, you also don't really step ever against Steve.
I like Jen's sucks in Season 2. I hate him. I don't like the way he looks.
I don't like his goofy, goofball combos.
He gets a hit and he looks stupid.
Oh, weird.
Get ready for the next battle!
NEO SAMASUN!
Naraka no ZOKOYO UCHIMU NAI!
Round one!
Fight!
That's insane that that hit.
Oh
What the fuck this is a grab
What the fuck Lars? Jesus dude, where is this shit going?
Where is it going?
Fight.
Nice.
of
the
round four fight
Have to do something
Nice block
It's not a bad move.
Yeah virtual fighters side stepping is like perrying.
It always works if you side step and they strike.
There needs to be a strike though, because side steps always lose to the growl.
Hit on it.
Oh my god.
Punishes.
Oh, we have to slip him.
Okay.
I think he's just doing random ducks now.
of
the eyes of these ducking is like waiting for an opportunity and is back in
the end of the stand to the real estate
This is a grab?
This is a grab.
God.
Use full summing.
Can I quit, please?
I'm trying to get away from it. I don't know how to
I legit didn't know how to I was like how do I stop this you can just duck it okay, okay
head up up but I just walked into it and I was like what the fuck
NEOS!
NAKA NO SAKOYO UCHINU NAIBI
Ground 1
Fight!
What's up dude?
What the hell?
This guy is blushing a lot.
I am hooking back
Bars
I

Good choice.
What the hell?
I said it was...
He did something that was not possible.
There.
God.
I'm sitting here.
Go!
Let's go!
We're gonna help go.
I don't know.
It's just suddenly extra gone.
Get ready for the next battle!
Nobody!
Go!

Why does that not work?
That's the right shit here.
That's the one, that's the one.
I want this a little bit more.
that
get ready for the next battle
will fuck me
alisa
alissa chill out
jeej
Oh my god.
Wow!
Okay, suddenly you're smart as shit.
Dude, I can't tell if this person is the craziest idiot or they're just trolling.
of
It's just the last one?
I want to die, I sure don't want to die.
god
The fuck is happening
Ah, she's a random hopkick.
Good.
So she has a general hopkick as well.
She also has like a mad evasive super fast general hopkick.
Punish that duck kick maybe
Black X minus 14
Oh my god, good block. So I can't it's like I can't tell if this guy's smart or not
Yeah, I can't tell, dude. It's like, I see experience here, but he goes for like the weirdest shit.
I think he's a smart idiot. He's about to hit... damn, Tekken God 1? What the hell?
That's about to hit Tekken God 1.
That comboed? I wasn't pressing a button.
Damn, good punishes, okay.
Yeah, he's a smart idiot.
He just like, turns it on immediately.
That's crazy. Good duck. Good duck.
Yeah, I can't tell.
It is insanely hard to figure out what the hell that person's game plan was.
I couldn't figure it out.
I felt like most things were extremely negative.
But at what point could I even punish?
I don't know.
All moves were negative.
All of his moves were negative.
Checking in Tekken is literally more powerful than it ever has been.
It's never been more powerful.
They made it a core part of the game plan.
Before it was like a thing, now it's the best it ever has been.
I like a shit ton.
Oh God, now let's check out the insane difference between that play style and this one just
I got the insane difference here.
Wow, okay, she has touched up to the right, it's on her downforce you can make.
Nice, this person is actually playing the game.
I wonder that.
Nice duck.
He's been doing this for a while, right?
How do I do it?
Oh, he went for it! That was a mid?
How'd he went for a low?
Damn, that's crazy that she sidestuffed it.
Maybe she's mad evasive too.
Oh my god!
Whoa!
That went really fucking far.
I am literally out kicking myself and she got hurt instead.
Dude, everyone's stepping the shit out of Lars, bro.
Like, perfect side steps.
Oh, this is unblockable.
That sucks.
Well, that sucks, dude.
It's insane, it's insane getting perfectly stepped
on so much shit.
Yeah, I can duck the unblockable.
I've seen it twice in my life now.
Round one, fight!
two people just don't give a shit
people just are crazy good blocks like insane blocks
oh my god
I'm
pretty nuts!
It's like I'm reading about that.
Okay.
One.
Why?
Really?
Wow my dude that was an insane hot guy
You might be a god.
That was an insane hot kick.
Holy shit.
Well, both of those people played that character completely different.
Like crazy different.
There is no similarities between the two at all.
Fuckin' June.
What's the general game plan against this character?
What the hell do you do against her?
Two, five, six, seven, ten.
Uh, this is a just raw ass launcher?
If I see spins, she's launching.
Is that the idea?
of
I
Wow, crazy read, crazy read.
Her magic beam is minus 20.
I wasn't gonna put you mad far though
Good science up to
Dude, I cannot believe this shit.
I cannot believe this shit.
I land these combos and my combo, this shit just doesn't come out.
Oh, I'm second.
Wait a second.
Flaps and toes.
What's the game like under Jhin so far?
I have no clue.
I have no idea what it does.
Zero clue what that should do.
I just flashed that too.
This guy's blocked on the start of every single match.
That's not a low?
Oh my god, hop, I bet her hopkicks like mad safe, you know what I bet it's crazy safe
Nice, good call. It's safe, of course it is
Of course it is. Her hopkicks launch, you can duck and launch it, second hit you can duck and launch, okay
Oh my god.
Really? That's a big suck.
of
Yeah, you win then delay jump for um
Toss like the biggest damage that Lars can get in second seven
Isn't it like the most damage you can get ready for the next battle
of the
You know what the game plan is, I'm on down one of them.
of
I
Am far away from you what the shit
Yeah, brother
Crazy blocks dude this that there and went, okay
Well, when do I ever get to attack?
back. That was a crazy fall.
I'm going to go back and miss.
Crazy punish too.
I know.
That was a good punish
of
I mess up, but I did the wrong thing.
I'm not going to know.
Yeah.
bruh bruh bruh bruh
I
Okay
Oh my that's actually the safe launcher
Why? I'll die now.
I
Fudge that sucks extra fudge
Dude, the sidesteps are crazy.
That's exactly what I needed.
Let's go!
Hey, still wouldn't block low all the way in the end.
I kept giving him chances where it was like I was doing some mid checks here and here and
I just wasn't doing it.
It's like the only thing you get to do here.
that
that we are from record not exactly
of
and
no eyes and
no ears of Jesus
Fight
No, no, no, no.
