Let's Play Final Fantasy VII #117 - Finale, Part 2/4

In this episode, it's not over yet. Can we put an end to Sephiroth's will, once and for all?

The final battle was especially challenging for me to record, because the vocals of the music kept on desynchronizing from the rest of the music. It was really weird. In order to compensate, I had to decrease the video quality for the battle only by 10%. The result is still a slight loss in audio sync, video quality, and lag, but they now seem tolerable to me. The alternatives would have been to max out the quality (which I usually do) and put up with the vocals getting too far ahead of the rest of the music, or reduce the video quality to reduce lag, neither of which were acceptable to me. If you don't like it, at least make a suggestion how to improve it.

Thanks for watching!

Wait, how can it be a rip-off of Final Fantasy VI? The games were made by the same people?

I got goosebumps all over my body, chilhood memories restored..

Yes, you will get Omnislash here if you didn't get it earlier in the game. Which, makes this fight very fast!

When he casts supernova and the music was perfect as it came toward earth. GOOSEBUMPS!

What did Sephiroth need the black materia for when he can just make the sun explode?!

@Maverick6429 Well it's partially a matter of opinion, and, as you said yourself, largely a matter of "connection"/nostalgia. I think Dancing Mad was better, and I believe HC said that was his #1.

The one thing I wish they had done before going the route they did in FFX was to make an amalgamation of most of the unique aspects of the previous games - Learning Abilities, Mastering Materia and Weapons, Job Classes, having linked magic/materia, Junctioning. It would have been cool to have one really massive game where every unique element of the prior ones was there.

@Maverick6429 I definitely understand that sentiment and that's why I have more of an emotional connection to 4 than 7 since 4 is my favorite FF and the second FF i played (after 1). FF1 is a good example for me of a "connection" being just as important, if not more so than actual gameplay. No one would say FF1 has better gameplay, characters or plot but it gives me that nostalgic connection to my childhood that makes it one of my favorites to this day.

I find with these games it's not just the music, but the story that evokes it. I haven't played FF4 (only watched HCs LP) so I don't have the same emotional connection to it like I do FF7 (which I've played many, many times). To each their own though, and being "Old Fashioned" is not a bad thing at all :)

@Maverick6429 Call me old fashioned, but I like the final boss music in FF4 just a touch more than this song.
