I'd even go further out than just Japan on how much games used to crib from other works in the 90s. Starcraft was always cribbing from Warhammer and Aliens, Sonic cribbed the design of Robotnik from Teddy Roosevelt, etc...hell, FF8 later would crib Dollet from a combination of The Rock and...
So both mandersnatch and kastaclysm have finished and boy howdy is it fun to see how knowing the OG (mandersnatch) or not (kastaclysm), the game still hits hard for others.
I'm watching several let's players on Rebirth:
We have Mandersnatch, who has played the OG, Remake, CC, most of the rest of the series all in the last 5 years, who has currently published up til mid way ch 10 of her rebirth playthrough. Very focused on character building (especially if that...

Back again to recommend another blind run, this time from julia_tv, who is not watching any trailers or playing the OG or CC but will be diving into Rebirth entirely on the fun she had with Remake.
Just creating a thread for anyone on youtube or twitch whose blind runs of Remake seem worth sharing for others to enjoy watching. I'll kick it off by recommending Kastaclysm's run of Remake. She's completely new to the series and knows nothing of the big spoilers and....she also has a great...
I'm RIGHT HEEEERE :wacky::arr::lol::(
EDIT-
And I stand by that initial prediction based on the info we had at that time. I didn't expect them to have the intent (or, frankly, the ability) to expand out the entire world map in one go. I also expected the same level of padding they had added to...

Honestly I would not want that, if they were to do new stories, because then they are too shackled to the games. They would have to choose. And I would definitely think they need to do a new take on the universe of FF7 all together.
I recall, about a year or so before the remake was announced, there was a fan web series that was live action FF7. Don't think it ever made it beyond Midgar, but it was actually sorta fascinating. Under a professional team, might even be good.
FF7 may be anime as hell, but one could see an...
