History Trivia / FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged

* OldShame: Antfish mentioned during the full series stream leading up to the finale movie that episode 2 contains a joke he's not proud of. This joke ended up being the PrisonRape threat Tifa made towards Cloud. When the stream gets to that point, Antfish starts reading bit drops out loud, all to make sure that he's talking over the moment and thus drowning it out.

** Creator/{{Lanipator}} voices Caith Sith, Mog, and Reeve Tuesti. [[spoiler:This case is SignificantDoubleCasting considering Reeve controls Caith Sith and Mog.]]

* ApprovalOfGod: This is actually one of the only abridged series to be at least partially sanctioned by the original copyright owners. Creator/TeamFourStar and Creator/SquareEnix have made contractual deals with each other, so the music used in ''Final Fantasy VII Machinabridged'' is remixed by [=AinTunez=] from the original score of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' with TFS being allowed to sell albums of the soundtrack while Square Enix gets a cut of the profit. The series noticeably lacks a disclaimer like the ones in many abridged series.

* IKnewIt: Some fans have noted that [=Takahata101=] voicing Vincent would be too obvious of a joke, and that they have already spoiled that his voice will change due to his loud coughing, making the transition even more obvious.

** Creator/ProzD voices both Dio and Godo Kisaragi.

* CastingGag:
** [=Takahata101=] [[https://youtu.be/DM3JZvI9j_E?t=48s voices]] another [[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged red-clothed, gun-toting, fuckmothering, vampire]]. [[spoiler:For around 10 seconds.]]
** As revealed in the series and finale movie marathon, Grant Smith came up with the idea of the Bahamut RunningGag, so he gets to be the voice of the dragon himself.

* DearNegativeReader: Takahata101 was pretty defensive about how Tifa was written, and later takes a potshot at the fans that took issue with it in the ''Midgar Mix'' promo video.

* RetroactiveRecognition: This series contains many at the time up-and-coming voice actors who have since gained significant prominence in the voice-acting community, such as Creator/SarahWilliams, Creator/KiraBuckland, and Creator/XanderMobus. Of particular note is leading man Creator/JustinBriner, who landed the role of [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Izuku Midoriya]] after Season 1 of this show had wrapped up, leading to a brief period of time where TFS was worried about the possibility of him not being able to return for future seasons.

* DearNegativeReader: While Antfish looks at the Prison Rape gag as an OldShame, Takahata101, on the other hand, was pretty defensive over it [[https://twitter.com/Takahata101/status/639927115442360321 here]]. He was also pretty defensive about how he wrote Tifa in a now deleted post, and later takes a potshot at the fans that took issue with it in the ''Midgar Mix'' promo video.

* RemakeCameo: Sort of. [=ShudoRanmaru=], who voices Scarlet, voiced Yuffie in the short lived (and first) Final Fantasy VII Abridged Series by [=SonsOfSatire=].

* WordOfGod: hbi2k explained during the Twitch streaming of the first nine episodes of Season 2 that Antfish allowed uncensoring the word "Fuck" when Dyne says it. The end result is a rather powerful speech Dyne gives to Barret before he dies. Twice.

* TroubledProduction: The show was Masako's first undertaking as a professional editor, and it took a while to work out an editing style that worked with the gameplay footage. Masako and Antfish confirmed there are ''fourteen'' file exports they still have saved of the pilot episode while they were working all of this out.
