Not every classroom gets a trailer. But FF7 is special.
I hope you’ll be a part of this unique experience this year, learning from various fields of interest, as we make sense of this series!

My favorite thing about FF7 Remake re-releasing to a broader base is that we are going to rehash a TON of “sequel” and “loop” conversations because Remake leans into that idea FAR more than Rebirth did.
…and man I am SO here to relive it all again.

It really does feel like FF7 Remake released for the first time this week, and we just beta-tested it for 6 years 😂

Just a reminder— 8PM tonight. See you in 90 min!
Quick update: an unexpected meeting pushes us back an hour — but it’ll be worth it.
Tonight at 8pm, we dive into FF7 Remake (Switch 2), comparing it with the wild discoveries from last week’s Shinra Archaeology Cut.
🔹 1997 nostalgia vs modern remake
🔹 Terrorism, ethics & resistance
See you tonight!

I strongly recommend the Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy VII Remake. An impressive version of one of my favorite games of the 2020s. Check out my thoughts on @ign.com!

Two years ago, I made 3 video essays based on Final Fantasy VII Remake. If you're starting your journey today on Switch 2 or Xbox, be sure to check it out:
1) Why the Whispers Make Sense
2) Why the Train Graveyard is Key to Everything

Don’t let people convince you that your positivity is toxic. They’ve just become conditioned to cynicism. It’s okay to enjoy things.
