Final Fantasy 7 Remake Full Story Recap

We’re days away from players getting their hands on the next chapter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, Rebirth, which will dive into a large chunk of the original game’s story. But, there’s been so much story already, that even if you played Remake back in 2020, you might need a refresher.

So let’s go on this journey together, as we recap the story so far leading up to the opening moments of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Having never played the original, i had no idea the whispers only turned up during deviations from the original plot. Great recap, thanks.

That's the best recap on YouTube. under 20 minutes is great. going to see if GameSpot has Final Fantasy 7 Original recap.

Thank you for the recap, while I wanted to play the game again I haven't had time with college I really appreciate this short and detailed recap

[luciengreg]

Thanks to this recap i realized I knew 10% of the story. Thank you guys, awesome work!

[alandpal]

This is the perfect recap. Not only caught me up but clarified some story beats that didn’t quite make sense to me when I first played it back in 2020

[frozenninja]

Fantastic recap! I really needed this refresher. Even giving a little extra context on things I didn't really pick up on playing through FF7 Remake as I never played the original. The F***ing ghosts make a lot more sense now. Diving into Rebirth tonight and am now even more hyped!

The writing and delivery of this video is fantastic! It’s completely hilarious!

[mikeyhope]

Had meant to replay the game before rebirth but just couldn’t find the time. A video like this is perfect to remind myself on some of the characters and story.

Thank you so much for this recap! I would most likely be very lost without it.

[Lorfarius]

Huge thank you to the writer for the work involved in this. Wonderful work!

Thank you for recapping 30 hours + of gameplay for me

11:20 while true in terms of what we are told, they also appeared to get the events off track. Specifically only four, including one that talks with Sephiroth's voice actors for every language.

Appriciate you my dude. i am grinding through chapter 13 and just could not take it anymore.

[angelnieto]

About to start rebirth and I forgot a lot of remake so I’m watching this before I start! Thanks for this video

[zarith]

i played the game like 3 years ago.. i dont remember the storyline.. no time to replay.. thanks for the recap..

[BiggHardcoreGamer]

Thanks. I wanted to replay remake this month, but have been too busy with other games. This was a really good recap

[Xiertic.Xaelius]

I really appreciate this. Now I can just jump into Rebirth without having to go through this one again.

Thanks for the recap really helps before playing Rebirth on Friday!

[ravianwitte]

thank you so much for this recap! picking up FF7 Rebirth tomorrow and, while I've finished the game on PS4 already, it's been a few years. I got a PS5 2 weeks ago started a replay of FF7R but it'll be impossible to rush through FF7R because of how big it is, and I definitely wanna play Rebirth as soon as possible, so tomorrow lol.

So this recap is great. allows me to remember what happened in the first one + the DLC (that i haven't been able to play) and will let me play Rebirth the same day i get it :)

Thanks for the recap! With Rebirth coming in a few days, I don't have time to replay Remake and start the Yuffie DLC before it comes out. Also, it would probably save myself from Final Fantasy VII fatigue playing then back to back to back like I did with the Spider-Man games a few months back.
