We’re kicking the year off with a very special guest party member! She is a voice actress known for her roles in popular video game and anime franchises such as League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Skull Girls. But we are here today to let her know that we found the security key and slayed the Cerulean Drake that flew in from the graveyard. That’s right, she also got the amazing opportunity to have her voice immortalized within the Remake of Final Fantasy VII as Gwen. The very talented, Danielle McRae

You have probably seen her work referenced around the FF Community and on many popular gaming websites such as IGN, GameSpot, pushsquare, and more for her Final Fantasy Ultimania translations. Because of her, we have been able to read exclusive Final Fantasy interviews with developers and read articles that were otherwise printed in Japanese only. She is very much respected in the community and here on Final FanTV!

This is Final Podcast VII Remake. We give our unfiltered thoughts on FFVII Remake. I have wrestled with my thoughts ever since I completed the game back in April. It was a truly incredible game. For the most part, I felt completely elated while playing. Personally, the ending brought emotions that I was not ready for. I felt betrayed. Angry. Depressed for weeks. Conflicted. It has been a challenge to accept it for what is and what it is not. It is not the Remake I wanted for 15 years... but it is still an absolutely amazing game and possibly my Game of The Year! What a game. Let's talk about it.

This is Final Podcast VII. We dedicated this episode to all things Final Fantasy VII. It was a wonderful time. At times emotional. At times hilarious. FFVII has impacted the lives of so many and to highlight that, the opening montage features testimonials of fellow Final Fantasy content creators. (links and time stamps below). In this podcast we shared personal stories of how this game impacted our lives. We talk about our favorite locations, mini-games, and more. We weigh in on the Cloti and Clerith debate. Also, that OST is still FIRE!
