Who do you think are the best youtubers covering the Remake Trilogy.

I like Max in spite of the fact that he is often what I'd call "confidently wrong", during his Rebirth playthrough he seems to have toned that down a little bit though.

Before you read the list below I should qualify it by telling anyone reading this that some of them initially irritated me (I won't say which), and I know for a fact that some of you bitter bitches will try one or two of them out and think the same. The advice I have for that is: get over yourself and give them a try, because they all share one thing in common - they deeply care about the story when they're playing.

In terms of YouTubers I like to watch - SarahKey, though her upload frequency is low, she's just good vibes. https://www.youtube.com/@SarahKey

I also like AllyTheNinja - she's chaotic and I find her hilarious https://www.youtube.com/@allytheninja

And JCBackfire - another good vibes person: https://www.youtube.com/@JCbackfire

LazBoi - This guy is an interesting one - came to the Final Fantasy franchise in general via Remake, VII is his favourite and he now hates bits of the compilation (and the extra stuff in Remake/ Rebirth, which is ironic because it was his entry to the series) https://www.youtube.com/@ItsLazBoi/videos - he has a playlist of every FF game now, he's played them all.

I also really like Frankie Lollia https://www.youtube.com/@frankielollia - again, entertaining.

these are mostly lets players I am looking for youtubers who dissect and analyse FFVII

I don’t really watch analysis YouTubers (maybe I’m naive/arrogant) because I feel like I already know the story well.

I also just like seeing reactions more or less so I stick to let’s players. Living vicariously since I’ll never get to experience it for the first time ever again.

Also, like @Lex said, I do think I’m somewhat a bitter bitch lol…. I don’t want to give a shit about whatever new take a streamer or YouTuber has so even then I tend to skip around and watch for specific scenes.

I like to watch Welonz Let’s Play; her entry was Remake, then Intergrade, CCR and now she’s playing Rebirth. Her thing is to play blind so oddly enough the only thing she knew before starting was that in the OG Aerith and Tifa were pit against each other. Her play of Remake really eased her on that though. She’s not super good at fights but she’s interesting to watch and ver fun too!

I sometimes watch Max on Twitch because he’s fun to watch, even if I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says.

That’s all. I sometimes watch clips etc. But usually I don’t watch that much besides Welonz since I don’t have much time.

Final Fantasy Peasant is entertaining, so I'll watch him from time to time. Darkkefka as well. I prefer to come here for info though There's always links to interviews and supplemental material. As others have said, this is the best place to actually learn more about the in-universe stuff of the games.

MinnMax is doing a game club discussion for Rebirth with input from their community (like they did for Remake): The Deepest Dive. I think it's very entertaining. It's kind of lame though that they don't want to spoil the original FF7, which makes it harder to talk about the game. Bad decision in my opinion.

1. Cloud's Past
2. Chapters 1-4
3. Chapters 5-8
4. Chapters 9-11

The final episode will be uploaded next week.

I'm watching several let's players on Rebirth:

We have Mandersnatch, who has played the OG, Remake, CC, most of the rest of the series all in the last 5 years, who has currently published up til mid way ch 10 of her rebirth playthrough. Very focused on character building (especially if that character is Tifa but the others as well) Here is the link to her next episode that premieres tomorrow:


I am also following Kastaclysm, who is COMPLETELY new to the series, only having played Remake and FF16. She focuses a lot on worldbuilding (especially anything involving buildings as she is passionate about home renovation). Currently published up to the very beginning of Ch 10, link to yesterday's episode.


EDIT-

And below are their playlists for Remake:

All I can say is kudos to Whimsy Psyche, who so far has only played Remake and has arrived at Cosmo Canyon in Rebirth. Absolutely nothing else. And look at her, cooking over the Nibelheim plot.

Optinoob, for his Hard Mode boss strategies (which helped me get Platinum in Remake TWICE, and will no doubt help me get Platinum in Rebirth).

If you need help in Hard Mode in either Remake and Rebirth, Optinoob has you covered (although I did have to improvise on a few occasions, such as Reno & Rude in Sector 7).

How about we try again with that entrance, and avoid sounding like you have an anti-social personality disorder next time?
Just stating the facts, budy.

You talk about Max in this fandom, and everybody knows who he is. Same for Audrey. Hell, even Night Sky Prince, or Sleepezi.

Long gone are the days, when TheLifestream was relevant to the FFVII discussion.

You're allowed to be wrong of your interpretation of Lex's post. Pretty sure he recognises where TLS is at in the popularity and citation stakes. That isn't my issue here. My point is there's a difference between an assertive and aggressive communication style of one's ideas, which you could work upon if you want a pleasant experience here.

"I shit on you and your mother and your neighbourhood!" <-- less of sounding like that plz.
