In this episode of the Sidcourse, we take a look at the Final Fantasy VII Remake and how we have a collectively shared nostalgia for the game. When it comes to complex memories, patterns are formed over large areas of the brain with multiple patterns over subsequent signals. So, when a familiar signal, whether it's a person's name, a colour, a melody perhaps; our brain facilitates the communication to other neurons and begin responding with firing patterns. Our brains don't retrieve memories, they are, in fact, recreated in real-time by complex neural activity using existing trace pathways.

Throughout the episode you'll hear remixes produced by Leonardo Da Sidci for the video. You can download the remixes exclusively on Patreon.   / leonardodasidci

Final Fantasy VII is a game that defined Japanese RPG's in the West. Immensely popular it's a landmark in the history of video games. The player plays as Cloud Strife and saves the world with the help of Aeirth, Barett, Tifa and friends. With many players considering it one of the best ever, along with as their favourite game of all time. Following the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, there hasn't been a better time to discuss the game and the nostalgia that comes with it.

The reimagined Midgar, beautiful soundtrack and incredible battle system capture the essence of the original with a modern twist. And an ending that tackles the tough question on the future of the series and where it stands in modern video game culture.
