    Between Max acting surprised when he unlocked Sephiroth on easy, several tweets and YT comments saying they thought the ability to unlock Sephiroth early had been cancelled, and multiple reaction videos either also thinking the whole idea had been dropped or missing the fact that you could unlock him entirely, I'm starting to wonder how many people had actually paid attention to that stream.

      Steve while more minor still had music from the spin-offs so it wasn't just base Minecraft represented
      and then Final Fantasy gets nothing from anything other than 7, besides the Chocobo hat which isn't tied to a specific game. And I assume the Sephiroth spirit board will only have FF7 characters on it as well. They even finally implement a boss rush but have it locked to Sephiroth only.

Also if very hard had shirtless Seph and at around 25% hp gave him a final smash, just to add that “oh sh-“ intense/final boss feeling. Still a great mode that I wish would sit around in the vault or something because it’s so beautiful to look at and fun to mess around on.

      @TenderViddlez Před 3 lety +2

      @@darknesswave100 How can YOU tell they don't mean it? Don't be so sure about Max because you don't know him either. He didn't even play FF7 when it came out, he thought RPG's were "for nerds" at the time and eventually played it after it was already hailed by many as THE best game ever made. He says its his favorite game, but mentions nothing about any of the other FF's in the series (bar FF11). That is VERY peculiar and HIGHLY unusual... Especially when it's supposed to be his "all time favorite" game. I vaguely remember him stating he didn't start gaming really until the PS2 era. He's two years older than me, but I grew up playing all the games from the "golden era"... (these were all the RPG's on SNES and PS1 when RPG's were the biggest genre). You mean to tell me he missed all that? I've also noticed he misses details and tidbits even about FF7 that a die hard fan would know off top. Max doesn't even discuss the lore of FF7 at all... Just the surface level stuff. Don't be so quick to say others "don't mean it when they say they love it".... because you don't know them either. Max sheds a few tears in a viral FF7R reveal reaction video and all of the sudden he's the guru? Shit doesn't add up to be honest. Good guy, but I think he's a bit opportunistic when it comes to this FF7 thing. After all, people automatically think "Max" when FF7 comes up on social media now... Pretty shocking considering "RPG's are for nerds". And that statement is pretty consistent with him considering he has a gaming channel, but doesn't play any JRPG's.

      @@MH4wheel I just knocked him off the stage and then jumped after him to try and gimp his recovery. He instead hit me with Octoslash but failed to get back to the stage and, thankfully, fell before he did.

      @@videogameprof ikr?! I felt like I was going against a lvl 50 amiibo, no matter what I used. If I want in close he'd always time that counter, if I played ranged he'd Shadowflare between dodges and then Octaslash me so I couldn't reflect them away.

    Seeing Max smiling and laughing when listening the new arrangements makes me feel better; I thought I was weird for enjoying orchestral soundtracks like that :)

    It always warms my heart to see you get so giddy with excitement when you nerd out on FF7 or the FGC. Sakurai playing KOF'98 competitively is news to me and only adds to my appreciation of the man. I used to play that shit for ages.
