Let's Play Final Fantasy VII #001 - Follow the Leader

[Zerodivinity]

Bringss back memories!

[ff6rox]

@ MonomKingOfModnar That's how I feel about ff6. I must have completed that game ten times by now and I still have fun playing it. I share that same love for ff9, then although ff5 didn't give me enough motivation to want to save the world, it would still have to be next on my list of favorite ff games. ff7 would be my fourth favorite in the series, but I agree that its amazing (:

[DeafandCrippled]

how about i shoot a lightning bolt up ur ass? lol

[frostare]

1:57 I haven't played it but I don't think it's the future, more like the present. A little bit to the past.

[Michael33382]

Hey HCBaily do you know nintendocaprisun

[Hop11111]

anyone knows what the text says at 4:40?

[Serena2009ification]

OMG, tptal fail.....I must have beaten this game about 7 0r 8 times; and if I ever noticed the 'executive produce' thing, I totally forgot about it. @__@ At least I can remember various other misspellings and mistransliterations, i.e. "Off course!" and Knowlespole. :D Ah, the nostalgia of the days before Squaresoft became SquareEnix!! *end nerd speech*

Thanks for uploading! Seems great so far!

[kizuya420]

if you dont want things to be that slow, just go into config an change the battle speed to fast (far left) i dont remember seein ya do that at the beginning lol

[pyigyli]

I like how you know a lot of the games you play and you act like you don't know what is going to happen, etc...

[Konstant1989]

"And we're named after a weather phenomena."

Gold.

[WeenieLearner]

thanks for having actual ENJOYABLE commentary and for posting these videos!

[Dorgengoa2080]

this is a great game indeed,sadly,its just a little bit overrated. and that makes the other final fantasy games look bad. imo,9 is best,but i still like 7. i like all ff games except 2 and 3

[274joe]

yes lets split up so we can get ambushed 1 by 1 XD

[n123581321]

So... Many... Camera... Angles...

[ryan17super1]

lol we brake for nobody spaceballs

[DoubleLogD]

ITS GIL IN THE ORIGINAL FINAL FANTASY

[ff6rox]

@ MonomKingOfModnar That's a very bold statement sir! But its also difficult to argue with lol So many people love this game. I haven't played through this game in many years, so this is going to be a real treat!

[MonomKingOfModnar]

@ff6rox Bold it may be, but this game has been my favorite since I first played it

The storyline is great, the Music is great, Back when it came out its graphics were cutting edge

and best thing is no matter how many times I play it I just don't get tired of it

[trypthetryped]

BEST GAME !!!!

[MissTiahni]

I love this game... But ten is better... :) 

[xxlazylizardxx]

@MissTiahni i give them both 10's ;]

[TheeFreakiishlyz]

@MissTiahni Indeed it is! Lol... Speaking of 10, I may just start playing it again.

[oFlamesz]

i'm glad to have stumbled upon you, i was disappointed none of the creatures did a lets play on this but you make me smile :P subbed.

[stinkypitz0005]

I wanted to watch a let's play of FF VII although i've already played it ... Am I wierd/ I don't even like Cloud that much either ... I guess HCBaily is just that awesome.

[mastermetal777]

Great as this game is, I still have to say I like 6 better than 7. Plus *flame shield ready* Sephiroth is overrated.

[MonomKingOfModnar]

@mastermetal777 True, sephiroth is overrated, Kefka is the true best Final Fantasy Villain

Still, FFVII will always be my favorite game ever

[blazedge6]

this game is fucking awesome



[MysteriousStealthMan]

Omg, utorrent symbol in the evelator.... wow I'm sucha pirate.

[Zarggg]

@MysteriousStealthMan That would be "μ" (Mu), the Greek letter that eventually became "M" in the Roman alphabet.

[MysteriousStealthMan]

@Zarggg hmm, thanks for heads up. :)

[EndlessNytemare]

i remember buying this game before i bought the actual console but dam it was worth the wait

[KirbyChan]

6:46 "WHY YOU LITTLE-!"

Oh wait, wrong game xD I'm thinking of someone else who shakes his fists a lot *coughSteinercough*

[KeybladeGraveyard555]

ok thats it I was tempted for a while but now i'm sure im gonna trade in ico/shadow of the collosus for psn points so i can get this and ff8

[Azal8522]

By far my favorite LP of yoirs. It made me enjoy this game a lot more than i was giving it credit for

[roflhell]

they have machine guns? WELL HOW BOUT I SHOVE A LIGHTNING BOLT UP YOUR ASS!?

[djkells3]

i need a memory card so i can save my ff7 ive had it for a few years now and havent really gotten far

[9001milktoast]

well HC im getting dissidia 012 for Christmas and i assume i am going to have to be cloud at least once got 12 days to see this whole play through

[TF2dude1]

06:35 these are actually greek symbols FYI

[Aceofstars64]

Quote of the day: "well how about I shove a lightning bolt up your ass!?"

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

How can the addition of trains and technology be a turnoff for you if they were already in FF VI? Not to mention all the airships, and oh yeah, FF IV had A FREAKING SPACESHIP!!!

[CirqueDuFreak2000]

@FluffyBunniesOnFire Because it's even more in this game than FFIV and VI. FFVI had steampunk era tech, but still was a bit less modern than this game.

[ademetal]

I loved the fact that grinding and high levels in this game weren't nescessary to beat it at all you could just get on with the plot.

[tractorez]

This is nostalgia! good stuff!!!!

[gammaworld]

Fable 3 (2011) - beat in 2 days.

FF7 (1994) - beat after playing consistently for 2 months and I missed so much stuff

[pieopolis2424]

@gammaworld 1997...not 94 :)

[xXZenislevXx]

lol'd at "executive produce"

[KenCaesarXL]

This game never gets old, loved playing it in high school, best ever!

[Hastak90]

best game ever

[Z3R0MU5]

34 people stopped breathing after seeing the starry sky and confusing it for space!

[THEUNOTE]

Best game of all time and that is saying a lot after some of the last decades titles. It was all just right with FF7.

[MetalGearRexPilot]

I'm so disappointed that I never noticed the Executive Produce... Guns?! How bout I shove a lightning bolt up your ass!?!

[arkotler194]

these were the best ever graphics back then. this mustve also been a surprise after final fantasy 6 if u know wht i mean

[16BitDungeon]

Love this game. I've only been able to play FF1-FF7. Never really like the later Final Fantasies. People group final fantasy in two groups ff1-ff6 and ff7-ff13, but I think FF7 should be grouped with FF1-FF6

[papershadow69]

@16BitDungeon I agree, 1-7 were consistently good. 8's a mixed opinion, but 9's agreed to be good or decent at least.

I personally wanna check out 5, 6, and 9. Already have and enjoying 4 and 7

[MonomKingOfModnar]

#1 Greatest game on the Planet

In the History of ever

With the best Video Game music

[pureblackeagle]

@MonomKingOfModnar best video game music is Golden Sun: The Lost Age. without a doubt.

[274joe]

@MonomKingOfModnar idk castlevania symphony of the night was also epic

[Serena2009ification]

@MonomKingOfModnar

*reads*

*ponders*

*agrees*

[mrcoleman1991]

Lol the advert kinda fits... "but what is cloud gaming?..."

[omegasephiroth6789]

Well, i got done watching your FF8 walkthrough, 13 walkthrough and now it's time... to watch this one even though i've played the game about 8 times now and know every bit of it just like the famous HC does XD

[Dominic078]

youtube classic

[bddblade]

LOL "executive produce" I never noticed that xD

[ZoanBlade90]

Ah,the first FF game I ever played. First RPG,too. I'm sorry for gushing here but,this is the game that made like this series. At the time,I actually thought all the FF games were tied to each other in some way. Granted,FF1&2 did that,as did FF10-2(the less said about 10 or 10-2 the better),but I still like this game. No matter how long SquareEnix makes us wait for a remake.

[randomwordsable1]

I love this  game and all, but this is one of my least favorite Final Fantasys.

[papershadow69]

@randomwordsable1 I kinda get one you mean

I love 7, but I kinda think it's overrated. I personally prefer 4 and 6. Also wanna try out 5 and 9

[nasur86]

when I was young i thought remembered a commercial for Final Fantasy 7 that showed midgar and then jenova on top.

[yali1]

pretty sure that says shinra on the building but i could be wrong

[mastertoyang]

by just watching this, i can relive my gaming experience way back in 1999. spent hundreds of hours playing this one. one of the best games! thanks for posting this vid! thumbs up

[necrosdarkborn]

Clouds hands appear to be made of turkey legs

[VeemonKing]

someone tell me is this the best finalFantasy game?



[Maverick6429]

@VeemonKing

I would tell you it is, but my experience in actually playing them is limited. I would say it's the best FF game ever, because it's also my favourite game ever.

[philip0544]

"not a big fan of vegtables... i'd rather die of cancer" LAWL

[tyniehawk]

Barret and Vincent have guns O_O they know whats best.

[caleron0]

they say cloud was on LSD at the time

not confirmed

[NorthExCALIbur]

Oh my god did anyone else get the epic PS3 ad???

[Maverick6429]

By god, my 6th time watching this LP. I seem to be somewhat hooked, but on the game, or HCBaily? And they died.

[qwertyb18]

Wow, it's a good thing that commercial buffered instead of the video. I sure didn't come here to see this LP... -_-

[MayaCrystalwing430]

how about mayo and not mako? lol

[MayaCrystalwing430]

i love swords! I wanna be a writer and my main guy charcter has a sword... only problem is that i need to know a bit more about swordmanship (sp)... I wish my husband knew sword fightining..... *sigh*

[YinYangWolf]

Have you tried searching for books or magazines about swordfighting? I know there are a few on Amazon, and many of the shops that sell equipment for training (weapon based) martial arts also often sell books and training DVDs explaning many of the basics, and also often give insight of the more advanced - of course it's not the same as having an actual teacher who devoted his/her time to teach you, and can show you in more detail, but it is a very good start. Hope this comment helps :)

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@YinYangWolf thanks i think i'll take a look into that... Tho i do have a real sword... My bio dad gave it to me but i don't mess w/ it... For several reasons, one of them being i am pregnant. but i never thought to look on for stuff on that... Actually haven writen in awhile, writers block... But that i will most defiantly do! ;-}

[YinYangWolf]

@MayaCrystalwing430 Oh, writers block... I know it all too well. I do a little bit of writing myself, so I know how annoying it can be. Here's hoping it passes soon, and that you find both inspiration and information to keep writing soon :)

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@YinYangWolf ah another fellow writer! cool! wish i new more ppl like that! lol my friend used 2 want b an author... but life got in her way, so 2 speak. But i dont want 2 b an author 4 fame, too plubic of a life! but i wanna go 2 the library & say, "hay theres my book, i wrote that! what do u think of it? I think i could have done a better job..." But i also wanna do what other authors do; 2 make the reader feel like they r there being the charcter, 2 feel what they feel & other things that

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@YinYangWolf ah another fellow writer! cool! wish i new more ppl like that! lol my friend used 2 want b an author... but life got in her way, so 2 speak. But i dont want 2 b an author 4 fame, too plubic of a life! but i wanna go 2 the library & say, "hay theres my book, i wrote that! what do u think of it? I think i could have done a better job..." But i also wanna do what other authors do; 2 make the reader feel like they r there being the charcter, 2 feel what they feel & other things that

[MayaCrystalwing430]

they feel and other things that make a good story! im sure u no what i mean? I have many binders and folders full of my charcters and my stories and things i wanna add but do quiet have a place to fit it into the story just yet. my user name is actually one of my main protagonist.

[YinYangWolf]

@MayaCrystalwing430 Cool. Yeah, it's a great feeling when someone reads something you've written and you can just tell they got emotionally involved with the characters. That's what a good story does, right? :D Currently I mostly write short stories (though I've only got a very short one online at the moment), and I do help a friend who's currently writing a book of his own, although college really keeps him busy. Other than that, I do fanfiction alot, though again, only a bit online for now.

[MayaCrystalwing430]

i have this game but it wont work anymore and im missing disk 2... so i guess i have to setle for watching it instead DX :'-{ other than that I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!

[MrGameFreakXO]

@MayaCrystalwing430 Hey i have a friend who has a vid on how to download the game pc stily no emuator and it really works if u responde ill give u the link if u whant

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@MrGameFreakXO what? u mean strait from the internet? Its just so frustrating! (i found disk 2 my mom had it) but in order 4 disk 1 to work at all i have 2 is put in disk 2 first then load the file i want & then it tells me 2 put in disk 1 so then i do... & it works just fine on the map, but if i go in2, say, the chocobo breeding area the music will work & all but the place wont show up at all & makes a weird noise after a few min or if it does, it takes 2-3 min 2 load up...whatz up w/ that?

[MayaCrystalwing430]

i have this game but it wont work anymore and im missing disk 2... so i guess i have to setle for watching it instead DX :'-{

[ShotgunEnthusiast]

wasnt too sure if i wanted to watch a ffvii lp, but that lightning bolt comment quickly changed my mind LMAO

[Darkerulean]

@ cookieKat1000 now that you mention it, I hear the warden a little bit.

[Exilienced]

The Japanese character on the front of the reactor is the number of the reactor, don't remember which one though.

[aaronexe123]

30 people got lightning bolts up their ass

[Ceren210]

Ahh its only 360 pixels

[mrmetm1k3]

not a big fan of the produce people lol

[Eyvel]

LOL! I love your commentary

[cookieKat1000]

I was just sat there saying "I hope this is good" then I herd your voice and then said " Oh he has an awsome voice" I dunno it reminds meh of someone off of Superjail. :L

[sweetclip33]

the kind that make m and m headphones

[Jetplin]

If you played through the whole game as a kid, and don't get tears in your eyes listening to "Aerith's theme", you are definetly not human

[mhall47685]

I thought a tuba player should be following a fat guy instead of Cloud? I love this game

[porchemasi]

it's a shame such a game has ridiculous typos.

[368money]

i cerry a gun in fable 3 and i can set my enimes on fire

[klyderaetrell]

lupet n2



[MegaGalaxyGuy]

"and I'm named after a weather phenomenon, that's just great. I hope this doesn't start a trend..."

He's right, imagine if there was a character with a stupid name like lightning or a guy named snow.

[num1not2]

@MegaGalaxyGuy

Yeah i was so amazed at that too.

[schmelzwah]

@MegaGalaxyGuy or squal

[Dorgengoa2080]

@MegaGalaxyGuy and squall

[djleeroy85]

@MegaGalaxyGuy ...and Squall.

[chuggacari]

@MegaGalaxyGuy or squall

[hoshidoragon]

@MegaGalaxyGuy Yeah, right? Or some dude named Squall. That would suck.

[RayMkIV]

FFVI also had trains XD



[shadowoftemplar]

[DanzaMan195]

[Intro2Awe]

[skate4life5050]

Best fucking game EVER!!!! and ive played like 100's of rpgs ( Instead of counting sheep last night to fall asleep i was thinking of every rpg i played i fell asleep around 90 but there was alot more to go haha)

[TehGartonator]

FF7 Was the best game I ever played

[rezistorXG]

wtb final fantasy 7 HD

[Hecksum311]

The only thing that bugged me about 7 was that they switched the action and cancel buttons on me, I was so used to the old layout

[Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude2]

What does front row/back row do?

[shun7z]

Speaking of weather phonomonons. Dont forget lightning and snow from 13

[BajuAchiba]

Aww I liked Red XIII.

Oh well.

[danielkirk1]

The best game in the world.

[PKDraven2]

Whoops! I meant, so, this is the legendary FFVII. 

[PKDraven2]

So, this is the legendary FFXII. Well, all I can say is that I'm really looking forward to this entire LP and HCBailly's funny commentary! A weather phenomenon. LOL I will never think of Cloud's name the same ever again.

[bonog01]

@PKDraven2 ...This is 12?

[Famous671]

id rather die of cancer lmao!!!!!

[davy1678]

lol i now that i heard you say cloud weather phenominon i remembered ff13 as an example of more lightning snow and im sure more in other games i havent played them all

[13AxelRoxas]

This is what the UK will look like since David Dickhead is in charge of our Country and let Me tell you i would have 2 play this game so know how to take out David Cameron and save the world who will join me on this quest!!!

[TheFoepker]

how much are you willing to sale your ff7

[97Fenrir]

hey HC, i was playing online on Gran turismo 5 the other day, and i was just asking, if you do don't say it, but do you have a psn account? Because one of the guys sounded a lot like you :D

[hoshidoragon]

Yeah, Executive Produce. Didn't you know? They had a couple of Gysahl Greens on staff.

[Locookami404]

it's typical action stuff bullets don't do anything, because you can't make the bullets more powerful. It's limited. But a sword can be better if you get faster

[Aquasition1]

3:22

tell that to Indiana Jones.

[Kakerate2]

on my disk where my friend screwed it up. IT THROWS YOU DIRECTLY INTO THE ACTION! lmao bot kidding it will play the music with aeris walking when im killing soldiers xD

[BigStick3456]

Why is Norm McDonald playing FF7? lol

Your videos are always fun, dude.

[TheOverlordPrinny]

HCBaily???? Geeez, youre like a god here on youtube!! It is said that you' ve made some of the best let's plays in all the network!! CONGRAT, let's be friend ;)

[Mahareshi]

Wow, you sound like David Wain...or any episode of Superjail.

[Maverick6429]

Watching this LP for the 4th time...by god.

[PhillFema]

Steampunk FTW

[omgwtfftwbq]

Only part of this game I remember!

Must have got it a long time after It came out though.

I was only 1 when it came out.

Every just seemed like it had much better graphics!!!!

[Tone1919]

You can get two potions from the one guard, no arson

[ChromeMaquilover22]

*looks at episode list*

118? Damn this is going to take a while

Good opening though!

[PhasmaPaula]

thumbs up if you understood the SpaceBalls reference!

[orbitaldeerhunter]

@chrisin1234 no it was the 90s

[supertaco54]

@chrisin1234 don't think so. Only until recently has FF had voice acting.

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@supertaco54 Really since when?

[Deametriause]

@MayaCrystalwing430 Think he meant that it hasn't had voice acting until recently, and since FFX

[MayaCrystalwing430]

@Deametriause ive only played ff mystic quest, ff2 (snes) and ffIIV... and i cant play that anymore my disk well it works... but i have to put in disk 2 first and then i put in disk 1... and if i go into a building or cave it like frezes sometimes... idk y... ive cleaned it several times i still have that problem.... *sigh* ill never get to finish it...

[mysticdarkrai135]

6:50 look at the flashing lights at the back. one says 7 and the other is the kanji symbol for 7

[tylermrogers]

what part does tifa come in?

[sephiroth1204]

what did you use to record this?

[shinkidude]

@sephiroth1204 a camera

[sephiroth1204]

@shinkidude quality is a lot better than a camera. i was asking more like which kind of capture card he was using

[shinkidude]

@sephiroth1204 oh ok lol

[cloud1234567100]

you are arsome HCBAILLY :)

[GamingIdiot42Neo]

to be honest even though I had access to magic I would still use a gun. c'mon guns are cool!

[cstb8]

@GamingIdiot42Neo There is no recoil for magic. Unless, it's like an explosion or something.

[DanTheEnigma]

What do you have against that "certain feline character"? I use this "certain feline character" quite often!

[gringo123666ar]

Dude you have really good vids i have seen alot of lp of yours good going

[BainScalibar]

Happy 125,000 views :D

[aar0n262]

I love to play FF7 along side with you.

[thedeathclan1]

...Damn everything other then items? ....I'm gonna need a bigger popcorn bucket.

[duongngocvuminh]

I hate when people thumbs down in the "lets play..." video,because those people have no respect for what the uploaders do,they make them for everyone,they spend a lot of time to make them,and then someone dislike,poor world =.=

[anto8905]

What console it is?? PS3? Playstation 2? what console it is?

[neo122333]

@anto8905 PlayStation 1

[TheShepardSaga]

@anto8905 DUH! This game is for PS1....

[blackrose87235]

@anto8905 If this was PS3...that would be the shittiest graphics ever O_O

[montylewis12]

@anto8905 lol playstation 1. 1997 babbby

[TheLastSamurai14]
