A bit late, but here's my brief reaction to the new Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer shown at The Game Awards 2019. I originally planned to include a first-pass analysis right after, but I did so badly at recording it, that I decided to make a proper analysis out of it. It's manageable enough for one video, so please look forward to another episode of Game Analysis! Character combat will follow after.

After a long hiatus, we finally managed to finish the first analysis video covering the new mysteries of Final Fantasy VII Remake!
The Whispers make the start of this series of deep analysis videos with a full hour of scholarly goodness.
What exactly are they, whats their purpose, how do they operate, what are their abilities and limits, who can see them and why and what are the repercussions of their demise? Well try to answer all of those questions and more!

The ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake created many questions about the future of several characters - Zack Fair above all, as him surviving his last stand was never part of the original continuity. In this analysis, we try and put the debate about timelines, Lifestream, realities and Zacks alive state to rest. On top of that, we try to predict how Zacks journey could look like, how Remakes mysteries could conclude and share a possible meta-commentary thats going to blow your mind!
Due to the large volume of content this analysis covers, we split it up into 3 parts again.
