There was no Cid in the trailer though.I have a feeling it might at least go to Cloud falling into the life stream

Ff7r when complete, going to be the world's first ~500gb game?

I guess that tracks... seems like that would make both this game and the third game absolutely massive.

I agree and I'm also excited about what's to come, but I feel that our opinion might be the minority on the matter.
I also think this will be the game where people who are wanting a 1:1 remake will fully step off of the train, if it wasn't apparent enough for them with the last one.

I'm with you guys, as well. I've seen enough new and indications in their messaging to trust they'll surprise and shake it up, too, so I look forward to the Unknown Journey.

Everyone in their mothers knows the original story of FFVII, even people who didn't play original FFVII at all know the story.......whats fun about retelling exact story again? Now I'm actually excited what comes next and fucking love that.
Original FFVII is available EVERYWHERE, if people want the exact game they can just play that....no one is stopping them.

Plus, that's what Ever Crisis is for, I believe they said you'd enjoy Rebirth more if you play through the OG on EC, so that's indication enough.

This is genuine joy that you don't see from a lot of people/streamers, if people are wondering why ff7 is so great watch Max's content on it.
The man is so passionate about certain games its great

You get Leviathan with Remake save data and Ramuh with Intermission save data.

This looking good, but also 2/3 of the way there. Those battles look really good. Another epic battle with Sephiroth and hopefully/maybe the weapons will be epic.
Looking at all the hooded dudes makes me think they could tie Organization XIII to FF7.

LOL. That was the exact same thought that I had in my mind the instant I saw them. I was like this better not turn into some KH conspiracy theory bullshit.This looking good, but also 2/3 of the way there. Those battles look really good.

It's one of the reasons I truly enjoyed tuning into certain people like: Ryan Davis, Dan Ryckert, Drew Scanlon, Austin Creed(Xavier Woods), Michael Huber, Austin Walker, Vinny Caravella, Kyle Bosman, Ben Moore, and Brandon Jones in the 2010s decade.
It was great to see and hear people who can still be genuinely excited about video games but not to the point where it felt fake or forced. At the same time they're able to criticize games in a fair way that isn't just shitting on them. I still at times follow some of the above people. However, it feels like Maximillian and his Yo videogames crew managed to keep their fun energy and they mainly discuss games and genres that they enjoy(usually fighting games and JRPGs) instead of every game. I feel like the MMO content creators understood this early on(which is why I also follow Josh Strife Hayes).
I think finding a lane is the key to not only good content, but also for the creator to not burn out. They have their lane, they're happy, and they stay in it. The other lanes are open for other creators. That way you don't get so many situations like Alex from Giantbomb playing a crappy sports game you know he's never given a damn about. Plus, the viewer benefits because you know that the person reviewing the game in that genre knows what the hell they're talking about.

That’s it. I’ll just wait for PC. I was thinking of getting a PS5 to play it but I can wait a few months to get the ultimate experience! Plus, I’ll be too busy playing Persona 3 Reload.Also, worth noting.
The normally 1 year exclusivity window has been dropped to 3 months. Looks like they're gonna bring the PC version out quicker, or maybe even get it ready for Switch 2, or maybe even a double pack for Xbox by late 2024.

"In fact, volume wise, the amount of side content in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is nearly double that of the main quest content."
Jeez, this doesn't bode well for me. May I just buy the main story for half price please?

While there might be some deviations in some parts of the order of story progress (I believe they’ve already said they’re moving the Wutai section to the third game), I think the people, particularly on gamefaqs, who are making wild theories about this Cloud dying and being replaced by the OG VII Cloud, the alive Zach being from an alternate timeline, and other shit, will be in for a rude awakening.

Square Enix has some reassurances for fans.

“the story’s main frame remains unchanged”
”a portion of the story will progress differently than in the original game”
This sounds like while there will be some deviations, it won’t be the massive ones a few people are hyping (or preemptively complaining about) it up to be.

Because I got the PS+ version of Remake PS4 I’m not able to buy intergrade. But now the twin pack is available for €80 and I can immidiatly play Intergrade this way, so seems like a good deal. 
Also, is the Crisis Core remake worth playing?

Not too bad imo. I'm pretty sure OG Disk 1 is around half of the total game and for this remakes third entry the majority of the environments will be made for this incoming title.

Development for the final part already began last year, I think it'll drop Spring 2027, so roughly the final 1-2 years of this gen.

Remake was a 7/10 for me but they sure know how to hit the nostalgia for me cause now I have to buy this. Debating on the collectors edition hmmm.
The wait will be less painfull

I don’t know anything like that, I do think they imply it’s heading for a new conclusion, especially with them back with the first one talking about the true meaning behind the subtitles becoming clear after it’s all done.While there might be some deviations in some parts of the order of story progress (I believe they’ve already said they’re moving the Wutai section to the third game), I think the people, particularly on gamefaqs, who are making wild theories about this Cloud dying and being replaced by the OG VII Cloud, the alive Zach being from an alternate timeline, and other shit, will be in for a rude awakening.

But I’m merely talking about twists and turns of existing developments, new story additions, and where this will all go. To the same level as the last game in intrigue is all i can work off. They still have to work off the original, but how they play around with it or add on is the fun part.

Meh… the only real reaction from Max was the one that was not planned.. where the Remaster was announced. Hate this fake shit.

you meet Cid long before the weapons are a thing in the original so I don’t think what wasn’t in the trailer means anythingThere was no Cid in the trailer though.
they opted to showcase Vincent as the new character coming instead

The Cloud/Sephiroth Synergy attacks has me hyped. I assume each disc is a different timeline. Would be really cool.
I'm seeing a very deep Legacy of Kain time travel slowly unravel here.
Lots of Goku/Vegeta and Guts/Griffith rivalry between Cloud and Sephiroth here in only a few details. Quite amazing.
Boxart showcases Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth which is really pointing to the Rebirth of the 3 Heroes spoken of in Loveless.
Cloud replaces Genesis, Zack replaces Angeal and then Sephiroth is the 3rd.
But it could also point to either 2 timelines converging into one or 3 timelines altogether.
Might overall be 3 protagonists featuring the 3.
Tons to speculate!!! Very promising next chapter in the Trilogy.

You'll be alright. I hate seeing UK sales threads on here, but I just have to press ignore on those lol.

With all the emphasis on Zack I have a bad feeling this game is going to go way off script and make plot changes that are going to piss everyone off. But we’ll see.

none of this is fake, he is obsessed with ff7 lol
Max isn't the type to fake shit, i've been watching him for years - his big brain theories vid with easy allies is almost 2 hours of his theories for the future of the game

Yup he also watched the State of Play live.
I also dislike 95% of reaction vids, but Max is one of the exceptions. Is genuinely hyped AF for the Remake project and has provided some of the best analysis on it.
