Well, I finished my second play-thru of FF12 so I figured that I would revisit some of the early Playstation installments. So why not make it my next Let's Play? It has been several years since I've played this game from start to finish but I'll be posting these videos with commentary and gradually talk about my overall opinion of the game. So join me if you will. I don't remember EVERYTHING in the game so if you want leave comments with suggestions, I'll read them and do my best. This can be like an interactive play-thru. You know, like some kind of Let's Play :D

Part 1

We'll cover some ground today. Enter our first Mako reactor then high tail it to Sector 7.
 
Great job! Sound and video quality is great, and your commentary is one of the rare ones that I actually don't mind hearing on top of a game. Usually the commentary people put in "let's play"-type videos just drives me nuts, but yours actually made it more interesting to watch! Looking forward to seeing more :awesome:
 
Thanks for the feedback. I was actually kind of nervous doing this because its a pretty large project. At least compared to the other Let's Play's I've done. But it seems to be pretty well received so I'll be posting more soon. I know what you mean about some LP commentary and that's what I've been trying to avoid. I've done some pretty embarrassing videos in the past but I just try to learn from them :) But this should work out because I know there are FF7 fans here who will be honest with me :D

 
I got two new episodes up today. I'm going to try to summarize the events in the video description just in case anyone wants to play along. Trying to keep this all professional looking and what not :wacky:

Part 2

We arrive in Sector 7 slums, get paid for our services and then take on a new mission. We get to know a little more about Cloud and Tifa's past followed by an introduction to FF7's Materia system. After that, we board the train and dodge ID check points.

Part 3

After bailing the train, we find an alternative route to the #5 Mako reactor. We set charges to the reactor core but Cloud gets separated and finds himself in an abandon church; the only place in Midgar where flowers can grow.
 
Part 4

We escape the Turks and hideout in Aeris' house, the last place they'd think to look. Afterward, Cloud heads out for Sector 7 but spots Tifa being transported to the Wall Market.
 
I love these videos Kryceks, your very interesting to listen to and that is the main thing when it comes to these 'Lets Play...' Like Luke stated above people in these tend to be very annoying and you my friend aint....it's a breath of fresh air to my ears...(like that works :P).

Thanks! I know what you guys mean about annoying commentary. Looking back at some of my older videos, I think I actually used to be THAT guy. So maybe it is a phase we all grow out of LOL. Anyway, thanks for the comments!

Here is the next video!

Part 5

In order to gain access to Don Corneo's mansion, we'll have to sneak in disguised as a sexy lady. First we'll get a dress and then a few accessories.
 
Part 6

Now that we have our dress and accessories, we will make our way to Don Cornero's manor, squeeze some information out of him and head back to Sector 7 in a hurry!
 
Lmao... Your voice overs are absolutely hilarious. I always used to do the same thing when I was playing the game, cept I was sitting here by myself playing the game, I always mocked Aerith's voice. :sad3:

Loving the gameplay videos even though I've played this game myself a billion times! Behind Don Corneo's bed, you missed a potion of some sorts! :gasp: I think it's a Hyper! :D

Oh man, I missed another item! Yeah, it has been a while since I've played this game so I'm probably going to be missing stuff. Originally I wasn't going to do voice overs because I was afraid I wasn't going to be good at it or I would just be annoying. I'm glad you are enjoying them though. Honestly, there are just some days where I feel like I can't read very well. LOL

Thanks for the comments!

Here is the next video:

Part 7

We have to rush through the train graveyard and get to Sector 7! Shin-ra is about to collapse the upper plate which will fall on Sector 7 killing dozens of people! Luckily, we can play some more shoots and ladders before that happens.
 
Part 8

The filthy Shinra blew up the pillar holding the Sector 7 plate, crushing those living in the slums. Luckily, we made it out without a scratch. But Barret is distressed, singing about the Sweet Child O' His. Where do we go now? Where do we go now?
 
Part 9

We journey back through the Wall Market to find that a way to Shinra has opened up when Sector 7 collapsed. That means one thing. A head on attack of Shinra headquarters!
 
Part 10


We continue the attack on Shinra Headquarters with another puzzle. Then we eavesdrop on a Shinra business meeting...sigh...oh excuse me, you know how these meetings are. And then we get to see some sexy specimens.
 
Part 12

After confronting Rufus, the new president of Shinra, we make a daring escape complete with a motorcycle chase!
 
Keep up with the good work on this Let's Play. I have watched all your episodes so far and you keep it fresh and interesting! Well done....I'd never have the guts to do a Let's Play I'd be to boring to be honest haha.

Thanks for the encouragement. And you'd never know until you try. I find that boring videos are LPs where people don't really talk. The trick really is to find what interests you about the game and then just talk to yourself. That's pretty much all I'm doing. So my viewers then see the game though my eyes and I think that is what is fun about watching other people do Let's Plays. You get to see how they prepare themselves, what they think, what they observe. But give it a try sometime. I'd be willing to watch you and give you feedback.

Anyway, next video:

Part 13:

Part one of a cutscene where we finally get some answers about Cloud's mysterious past and relationship with Sephiroth.
 
Part 14:

We continue to learn more about the amazing Sephiroth as we also learn that it apparently doesn't take a lot of hit points to be in SOLDIER.
 
Part 15:

After leaving Kalm, we come across a tasty Chocobo farm and some of the deadliest snakes I've ever seen.
 
Part 16:

This next video showcases one of the many long mini games you'll encounter in FF7. Learning this strategy game will come in handy later on.
