Not a ton of info we didn't already know or guess at. Highlights:

  • He saw Highwind, so Cid is almost certainly in the game. But with nothing showing him off, he's likely to be an extra party member like Red XIII was in Remake.
  • Red XIII rides a chocobo in probably the exact way you imagine a giant cat to ride a chicken, so it's hilarious.
  • There's a seemingly pretty extensive chocobo customization aspect with pieces of armor that you can set with custom colors.
  • Synergies are basically what you'd expect. They're like dual techs in Chrono Trigger where two characters work together to do a limit-like ability. They trigger the more you use unique abilities, so you're encouraged to change up which character you're using. Each pair of characters have their own synergy and you unlock more as you level.
  • You can't bring saved characters over, but you do get a bunch of bonus materia to start off with if you have a save file. So I'm glad we had a 500 post topic about that.
  • It's not true open world. Jesse says it's more like "open zone" and compares it to FFXIV and FFXVI. He says it's not huge, but a lot of areas were blocked off in the demo he played, so he can't say for sure how big it is. "Big enough to ride around on a chocobo but still contained."

Yeah, he's even more hyped than Jesse is.

I should watch more Maximillian Dood, I've liked everything I've seen.

Okay, he might need to relax a little bit lol. His mind is perhaps a bit too blown by being able to swim to a tiny off-shore island for a few pieces of loot.

That was Max's take on it. He basically says part one is the foundation they needed to make this one.

He's doing just fine AFAIK. He's cut back on Youtube in favor of streaming and because editing is a giant pain in the ass, but pretty much everyone's done that. Getting around 10k views per stream.

Damn though, I miss TB.

I bet it's gonna be just like the first game

Fantastic graphics
Good gameplay marred down by repetition and dull plodding down corridors (or in this case fields) back and forth for hours to pad out the run time.

Max had a second video where he focused just on the combat.

Maybe this was known, but he confirms you can use all the party members and pick and choose which three you want to use.

He is yes, but whether he's an actual party member or just a follower a la Red XIII in Remake, remains to be seen.

Yes. He's almost 100% voiced by Matt Mercer because Matt Mercer has clearly made some dark deal with a crossroads demon.

You find him in Kalm, right? That's so early in the game that I have to imagine he's a normal party member.

But I suppose Yuffie, Cait Sith, Red XIII, and Vincent might be a bit much. And it'd mean Cid was the only one to be properly added in the third game.

I'll wait for the pc version this time. Hopefully I don't break down and give in to buying the PS5 version. I am pretty stupid though because I did get a PS5 because of FF16 coming out.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

There was something about it only being exclusive for three months, so the wait might not be too long.

Yeah that's why I have a bit more faith in myself this time. But I really did like remake since I played through it both on ps4 and pc to 100% achievements.

I can only hope. Loved his voicework since the campy Leon Kennedy from the original RE2.

No, you find Vincent in the basement of the Nifleheim mansion. And yeah, the thought that they're going to have to have to introduce new playable characters in Part 3 makes me think that Vincent and Cid (SO HAPPY HE'S CONFIRMED) won't be playable in Rebirth.
