[[folder:South Park: Snow Day!]]
* Yahtzee's graudually failing enthusiasm at the game trying to do things differently than its predecessors.
-->'''Snow Day!:''' We're going to completely mix things up by making ''Snow Day!'' a full 3D game!\\
'''Yahtzee:''' Oh.\\
'''Snow Day!:''' ...With real time combat!\\
'''Yahtzee:''' ''Oooh...''\\
'''Snow Day!:''' ...And a focus on co-op multiplayer!\\
'''Yahtzee:''' ''Eeeeeeurhohohew...''\\
'''Viewer:''' Yahtzee, stop incrementing random vowels!\\
'''Yahtzee:''' I can't help it! An established singleplayer franchise suddenly pulling a co-op focused sequel is one of the lead-ups to armageddon in the Literature/{{Book of Revelation}}s! Just between war in the Middle East and the Election of the Anti-Christ!

* Yahtzee documents the various tone problems that come with adapting the sillier elements of ''VII'' for a modern audience, describing [[TearJerker a genuinely well-told and emotional]] subplot where Barret [[ShootTheDog has to put his old comrade out of his madness-induced misery]], [[MoodWhiplash which the game concludes]] when "a fucking circus strongman in a cape and little red pants shows up in a monster truck and attempts to alleviate Barret's grief by strategically flexing at him."[[note]]What's even funnier is that this beat isn't even in the original ''Final Fantasy VII''; [[NewerThanTheyThink it was very much a new addition]] to ''Rebirth''.[[/note]]
* Yahtzee brings up that ''Rebirth'' has open-world elements that sound disconcertingly close to the much-loathed "Jiminy Cockthroat" archetype of unlocking radio towers, climbing up sequences of yellow-painted ledges, and crafting mechanics:
-->'''Yahtzee:''' [...]try to imagine my face transitioning through one of those "faces of meth" photo sequences as I read those out.
** "Still, it's only an open-world game in the sense that Creator/NicolasCage is a good actor: [[TakeThat it's only true about half the time]]."
