However, since the release of the blockbuster game,Final Fantasy 7 Remake, both fans and critics have taken to Twitter to mock many aspects of the beloved game. Some memes are hilarious, and some are a bit dark. Do you want to get in on the laughs and cringes for yourself? Here are ten of the funniestFinal Fantasy 7memes you will find on Twitter.

10Zack’s Dumb Level Up Trick

This tweet says that you would have needed to have playedFinal Fantasy 7: Crisis Coreto understand the meme. Basically, in the Crisis Core edition ofFinal Fantasy 7, players would have to rely on the Digital Mind Wave (DMW), which was a limit-break system that worked something like a slot machine.

Based on what players got on the slot machine, they could level up, achieve an improved status, or perform a special attack. Back in the day, gamers took advantage of the system to easily level up instead of grinding the old-fashioned way through tedious battles. The Drake-meme says it all. Zack could easily level up without any effort, and it was one of the most questionable decisions Square made when developingCrisis Core.

9The Classic Gongaga Meme

The release ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakereinvigorated the presence of Gongaga memes on Twitter. For those that don’t know, Gongaga is the hometown of Zack and a few other playable charactersinFinal Fantasy 7: Crisis Core. After a disaster before the events ofFinal Fantasy 7, the town has been destroyed by a dormant Mako reactor.

Zack, being the butt of all jokes concerningFinal Fantasy 7memes, weirdly responds that his hometown is Gongaga in this tweet. He seems totally oblivious that his hometown has been destroyed along with many of his friends and loved ones. This is a classic dark meme making fun of one ofFinal Fantasy’smost memorable characters.

The upcoming releaseof the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Xhas got many gamers seeing the apex of the video game industry first-hand. Video games have never looked so real, especially with the use of virtual reality (VR) consoles. There used to be a day where you could barely make out the video game characters from the background.

Old-school gamers know whatFinal Fantasy 7used to look like on the original PlayStation before the remake came out this year. Even though it’s been more than 20 years sinceFinal Fantasy 7came out, it literally makes no sense how far video game graphics came along.

7Yes, Final Fantasy 7 Was Very Hard

Remember Ruby Weapon fromFinal Fantasy 7? Back then, it was a badge of honor to defeat Ruby Weapon. The game also had several very difficult bosses from Jenova to Sephiroth. That was the same with a lot ofvideo games on PlayStationand other prehistoric consoles.

For those new to theFinal Fantasyfranchise, you definitely have to go back and play all of the retro titles. If you’re in for a challenge, see how far you may get inFinal Fantasy 7before you throw a fit, throw your controller, and turn off your console.

6Mr. Worldwide

If you’re into South-Florida rap music, Pitbull is your guy. The premise ofFinal Fantasy 7was focused on Cloud Strife and his group of friends who embarked on a journey to save the planet. Apparently, as long as Pitbull is alive and present, their services would never be required.

Do you see the amazing picture of Pitbull in the left image? He looks like he could snap Sephiroth in half with just a gaze. In the photo to the right, he has already saved the planet from the likesof the Shinra Corporation. If you need a world savior, again, Pitbull is your guy.

5Gamers Complain About Everything

Can someone say this for all of the gamers in the back? Everyone needs to hear it. A lot of people talk about howFinal Fantasyis the same with every new title. Yet, when Square hears these complaints and makes adjustments, people then complain that the franchise isn’t the way it used to be.

Square did a great job in creating the remake toFinal Fantasy 7, even though it took forever. Here’s to them doing what they believe is right instead of giving in to the demands of ungrateful gamers who don’t appreciate the greatness of theFinal Fantasyfranchise.

4Final Fantasy 7 & Politics

There’s a lot to dissect here. First of all, Reddit is like the black hole of the internet. Everything, including the dark web, can be accessed there. That makes it a bit weird and ironic that they didn’t allow this meme. Second, let’s affirm that this meme is just a joke.

If you are a Republican, that doesn’t mean that you want to destroy the planet. Though, it was a bit odd thatthe Turks inFinal Fantasy 7were actively seeking to do so. What did Square have against the decent folks in Turkey?

3A Classic Aerith Meme

You should have seen this meme coming, and it is indeed savage. Aerith is a pretty mysterious character inFinal Fantasy 7, andshe seems pretty naive and easy-goingfor much of the game. In fact, when Sephiroth finally killed her, she died without a whisper.

It’s completely hilarious how Aerith just gave up the ghost while looking to the sky as if she anticipated it. This just goes to show that she truly had her mind set on saving the planet and risking her life to do so.

2Cloud Vs. Vin Diesel

Don’t pay attention to the foreign language in this post. All you need to see if the side-by-side pictures of Hollywood actor Vin Diesel and Cloud Strife. Diesel is known for his roles in the Fast & Furious and Chronicles of Riddick series. He is well-known for his stoic behavior, even in the face of sure death.

While Cloud may not be as muscular as him, they do share some key similarities. Both are very laid-back and open to risk their lives without a care in a world. It’s funny because if you put a wig on Diesel and gave him the Buster Sword, he could star in a live-action film. Though, his gravelly voice may be too much.

1The Last of Us 2

This casket meme has been floating around many social media networks for a while now. It basically symbolizes something being buried or thrown away by something that’s better. Anyone looking at this now can see all of the shade given toThe Last of Us 2.

While it wouldn’t be fair to compareFinal Fantasy 7andThe Last of Us 2, you could argue that the apocalyptic video game franchise still has some ways to go before it can match the success of theFinal Fantasyseries as a whole.
