History YMMV / FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/FinalFantasyVIISephiroth Sephiroth]] is a legendary member of [[Characters/FinalFantasyVIISOLDIER SOLDIER]] who [[FallenHero develops a genocidal hatred for humanity]] after discovering the truth about his origins through the Jenova project. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Marking his introduction]] with a bloody killing spree through [[Characters/FinalFantasyVIIShinraInc Shinra]] headquarters, Sephiroth, [[GodhoodSeeker seeking godhood]], leads Cloud and the rest of Avalanche on a chase across the planet to find the Black Materia so that he can use it to summon Meteor, severely damaging the planet and then absorbing the resulting energy into himself. To ensure nothing gets in his way, Sephiroth murders Aerith in the City of the Ancients, once again rubbing it in to Cloud. Believing himself and his "mother" Jenova to be divine punishment incarnate, Sephiroth proves to not only be a [[VileVillainSaccharineShow shockingly dark villain]] for an abridged series, but also [[AdaptationalVillainy much more detestable and pettier]] than his canon counterpart.

Marking his introduction with a bloody killing spree through the Shinra headquarters, Sephiroth [[VileVillainSaccharineShow stands out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the cast]], and during his burning of Nibelheim, he singles out and kills Cloud's mother [[DisproportionateRetribution just because of his fanboying over him]].

** In this series, Barret and Red have a very friendly relationship. In the remake they have a few moments of antagonistic banter.

** In Episode 15, Hojo is surrounded by women in bikinis that he plays up as his charm...till one of the girls asks for their pay. It turns out that ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'' give a similar explanation as to why someone as detestably as Hojo is surrounded by women in Costa del Sol. The trio of women, named [[NamedByTheAdaptation Fran, Naomi, and Yorda]], are just employees of Costa del Sol's mayor who were asked to act as Hojo's PaidHarem, and have no true interest in Hojo whatsoever.
** Part of Machineabridged's friendship between Barret and Red is that they share the same bed AKA "Avalanche Snuggles." ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'" has Barret also snuggling one night with a furry companion... though it's Cait Sith and allegedly because Barret thought he was Marlene.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: The first three seasons take their time to tell all of Disc 1 in three parts, mining the material for all the comedy it's worth while still being an ''Abridged'' series, cutting away the chaff significantly. In comparison, Season 4 barrels through the ''entirety'' of Disc 2 as fast as it possibly can, which left most viewers with a significant sense of whiplash. This is likely because TFS is trying to end it sooner rather than later in order to avoid the [[ArtistDisillusionment burnout]] that killed WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged, so make of it what you will. Also, to be fair, Disc 2's plot-relevant content is significantly smaller in volume than the very story-packed Disc 1. Moreso Disc 3, which will be a finale movie, rather than a whole multi-episode season, since its only major story beats to cover are the descent into the Northern Crater, final battle, and ending, with [[spoiler: Bugenhagen's death, which was hinted at in Episode 30]] as an optional quest.

** Cloud's complaints about the "Gil to Gold Points" exchange system at Gold Saucer, in Episode 16, is not unlike the initial reaction of the PremiumCurrency system in some games (specifically mobile ones), that appeared at the time of the episode's premiere. While the GP system exists in the game, Antfish commented how well-timed it was due to the subject.
*** A season later in Episode 23, manager Dio listens to Cloud's comments but creates a complicated "[[LootBoxes Loot Saucer]]" model that takes the above process a step further, using GP for a box that rewards a voucher or another random prize. It actually hurts the theme park's more than helps as later games shut down, sometimes because of this similar system.
