*Final* *Fantasy* *VII* *Remake* I don’t know what’s come over me during the past few days since Monday, but I’ve been playing FF7 Remake for hours and hours. For most games I play, I might play it 3-4 hours at most. But for FF7R, I’ll play for 8+ hours like I’m 16 again playing OG FF7 upwards of 12+ hours. I’ve played Remake up to 2 AM the last two nights. I’ve never played my Vita or Switch for more than 5 hours in one day. I can play my Steam Deck for that long in one sitting. I already beat the main story + the Yuffie DLC. I have all my characters at the maxed level of 50. Tifa, Aerith, and Barret have their weapons at Level 6. I have 42 of the 63 achievements. I still can’t even beat Jay in the squat or pull-up contests. Imagine once I face Jules? I restarted from Chapter 1 but on normal again only to stop at Chapter 14 to level up my characters and to understand the story and motives better. The story is a lot clearer the second time. Man, hard mode is brutal! I couldn’t even defeat the final boss in Chapter 1! And Weiss destroys me within a few hits. Now this is before I got the parry materia where Tifa can do an electric slide but I still don’t believe I mastered the techniques and movements enough to beat every boss in hard mode. And most of my materia are mastered thanks to the VR simulator where I use Cloud or Aerith to burn the flying enemies. It’s the two-person team vs. high flyers on easy mode and I did this over and over for 6-8+ hours to gain as much AP for my materia as fast as I can. I still have a long way to go and I probably grinded for 20+ hours during the 100+ playtime I’ve had with it. I’m still trying to learn and master the battle mechanics. I barely got the parry materia and Leviathan summon the other day. I’d read Reddit posts and watch KZitem videos on how to beat Weiss and I still don’t understand what they’re trying to say. They might as well tell it to me in Chinese. The gist of it is mastering how to stagger and do it quickly while dodging. I’m going to update my FF7R rankings and overall FF rankings for my favorite characters from all the FF games I’ve beaten. Tifa is definitely my favorite in FF7 Remake. I think that’s a common answer for most people who played the game. She was already great in OG and she’s been my waifu since 1997. But the Remake took her to another level that she’s actually fun to use as the game is part 3D fighting game. I’m really digging Johnny in my second playthrough. Hilarious guy! Favorite FF7R Characters 1. Tifa 2. Cloud 3. Barret 4. Aerith 5. Yuffie 6. Johnny 🤣 (thanks, bro!!) 7. Jessie 8. Biggs 9. Sonon 10. Sephiroth 11. Reno 12. Roche 🤣 13. Red XIII (@ 13) I did not care for Roche when I first encountered him but now I find him funny and quirky like Johnny. I’m actually close to beating Shenmue III’s main story again but I haven’t played much recently thanks to FF7R being superior to it in everything that makes a game fun to play. What’s Nomura’s obsession with handsome guys with a big/long sword and nice hair? Cloud, Zack, Sephiroth, Vincent, Weiss, Nero, and Sonon all look hunky. Toss in Biggs, Roche, Reno, and Rude. Tseng looking like he was the lead singer to an 80s hair band but in Japan like Sephiroth and Vincent does. Rude looks like Pitbull. Biggs sounds like Charlie Sheen. Leslie looks like if Sephiroth cut his hair short and wore a hat. Cloud is a blonde Zack and Zack is a dark haired Cloud. Weiss looks like he’s related to Sephiroth, Cloud, and Lars in Tekken 6. These guys are usually hunky. WTF, Nomura? Are you Andrea in this game? They all look like a skinnier Fabio with cooler hair and a big sword. And all Cloud does is stand there and he’s pulling in Jessie, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, and Andrea without trying. The ending with Sephiroth had some sexual tension. That old lady, Marle, seems to think Cloud is hot too. Favorite FF Characters 1. Cloud 2. Tifa 3. Auron 4. Barret 5. Aerith 6. Sephiroth 7. Vivi 8. Yuna 9. Lulu 10. Cid 11. Yuffie 12. Red XIII Originally last week, I had Aerith at 10th and Barret at 11th. But the more I spend time using them in Remake, I’m growing attached to them. I feel Remake is a very well-balanced game where the four playable characters in Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret all bring something to the table. None of the four ever feels useless. They all balance each other as a team. Actually, Barret has always been one of my favorites since 1997. Yeah, he was inspired from Mr. T. A Black guy with a mohawk. “I pity the fool” would be something Barret would say. But I always felt even in the OG that Barret has a great heart. He was just overly emotional and talkative. But I’ve always liked Barret. He was my 3rd fav in the OG from my first playthrough behind Red XIII and Cloud. I don’t think Barret is hated although he usually has one of the lowest % in a popularity poll next to Cait Sith. It’s just most fans like the other characters more. I think the voice actors for Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barret are perfect. That’s how they would sound in my head back in 1997. Cody Christian is the perfect Cloud. Even in text form, Cloud has always come off a bit of a prick. In a way, Cloud is very much like Han Solo in A New Hope. He’s selfish but will find a way to help at the end. Britt Baron is superior to Rachael Leigh Cook from She’s All That (1998) fame who voiced Tifa in Advent Children. If I enjoy Tifa even more in Rebirth, she might go No. 1 for me all-time. She’s the Wonder Woman of Final Fantasy. Tifa and Cloud are two I always pick for my team in Remake since I prefer physical attacks over magic and I prefer melee fighters. John Eric Bentley is great voicing Barret and I like when he calms his voice down. Has a little ASMR in his voice. And Barret has some pretty funny zingers that got me chuckling. Barret and Aerith are the livelier ones of the group. Tifa talks too. Red is too quiet. Cloud can be moody and a prick. Brianna White basically acts like Aerith in real life but she happens to be blonde. Have you seen her on KZitem? She sounds and acts like Aerith. Has the Aerith merch behind her. She’s the real life Aerith to me without needing to “act” as her. I did not remember Mena Suvari being the voice of Aerith in Advent Children. Cody sounds like Cloud when speaking with his regular voice. Same with Briana. Only John and Britt sound different with their real voice compared to their FF7R characters. The voice actors for Yuffie, Jessie, Biggs, and Reno are also excellent. The voices for Heidegger and Hojo have that stereotypical cartoony villain voice. The voice for Red XIII sounds a bit too soft like he’s mumbling. OG FF7 was well ahead of their time. It had a Black dude who was the heart of the story, Avalanche, and a rebel alliance, and two hot females who could kick ass. Barret vowed to protect Marlene for his friend and her biological father, Dyne. This was decades before BLM, MeToo, Girl Power, WOKE movements, and all these agendas Hollywood is currently doing now. I’m reading Cait Sith who we see briefly at the end of Ch 13 in Remake is a lot more likable in Rebirth than he was in the OG. That’s good. I actually never disliked Cait Sith at all. I thought he was interesting at first. But similar to Vincent, I never found use for him in battle. Cait Sith (or Cat Shit) was someone I hardly used because I didn’t need him in the first place. He’s not valuable like the main four to the story.

I'm a big fan of the original ff7. I was never a fan of Barret, but I always thought that his storyline was one of the heaviest and most emotional in the game. In 2020, before the release of FF7 Remake, I saw John Eric Bentley and Briana White play the original FF7. And after the voiced phrase “с`mon newcomer.Follow me” I immediately realized that this was the person who may ideally play Barret. Of course, all the actors played superbly. But the duet of John Eric Bentley and Dave B. Mitchell in “that” scene is something beyond the scope, man , it was super hard, I shouldn't have cried in that scene, but I did. FF7 Rebirth is more about Aerith than other characters (my humble opinion), but John played Barret perfectly for me, revealing him deeper than I could have imagined. Also in Japanese games i always prefer Japanese voice acting, but in Remake and Rebirth, I can’t imagine voices other than the English cast

What a beautiful soul! I love Barret even more after this interview, and he was already a favorite of mine. 💕 There’s so many layers to his character and his story, it thrilled me and broke me to see that flashback sequence with his wife. I hope I can meet John someday! I’m going to add an interviewee suggestion here, but I would loooooove to hear from Nanaki’s VA! His backstory was already one of my favorites in the OG, but he’s always been so overlooked in the compilation; Rebirth went the extra mile and gave him SO MUCH character, I actually ended up maining him through most of it! His relationship with the party was so heartwarming, the little voice crack when he saw Aerith and Tifa in their swimsuits, the age reveal, how Barret started using his real name after that when in the OG he told them they could keep calling him Red even though it made no sense, the Skywheel date and how soft Cloud is on him. I’d just love to know his VA’s thoughts on the character and how he played him. (And how he did both those voices?? Crazy!)

Wow, what a great dude. Besides Tifa, Barrett was always my favorite character in the OG FF7, but John Eric Bentley made Barrett might have switched up the order. He was fantastic and listening to him, it sounds like a guy I'd love to hang out and play games with. ❤❤❤

I could never imagine a better Barret, or any of the characters honestly. They were all the best possible choice!

Oh wow his real voice is really different from Barret. Even more impressive he recorded so many lines in character.

Loved John's portrayal of Barrett and also Cody's portrayal of Cloud - perfection. Would love to hear an interview with Cody because he doesn't do many interviews so that would be really cool!

His work helped really make Barret into the heart and soul of this game.
