I loved how much Top Secrets made me think about how I moved from normal, to pressured, to staggered, and back to normal post-stagger. Shiva especially was extremely punishing if you played recklessly or didn't understand her phases. Then Bahamut offered an interesting choice between playing...

I think that comparison's probably still valid. Sephiroth definitely takes actions that cause fate to diverge, mostly by showing people images and talking to them in order to influence THEIR actions, but these are subtle enough that the Whispers don't stop him. Instead they stop the people who...

Hmm... This has been something I've been wrestling with since finishing the game. I think that, from the Planet's perspective, Sephiroth is currently less of a threat than the party is. Which is the cleverness of Remake Sephiroth's plan, as I understand it. Sephiroth causes events which are...

I don't think we can assume that the Planet itself has decided its own destiny. Doesn't Red mention something in Ch. 17 about planets being born with destinies? I might have made that up... Anyway, I don't think Remake implies much more "sentience" on the part of the Planet than the OG does. It...

The Chocobo Sam version of the Wall Market theme is so amazing, I love it. I just started Ch. 15, so this is only a provisional statement since I know the plot is about to kick into high gear, but Ch. 9 is still the high point of the game for me so far. Still thinking about how good it was.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that they allowed Jessie to die believing herself to have murdered hundreds of people. I think the choice to make the explosion not ACTUALLY Avalanche's fault, but force them all to live and die believing it to be, is really interesting. .....and also...

Echoing the above, I made almost none of those choices and still got The Party Never Stops. Said Tifa looked like a great fighter, got the expensive massage, bet heads with Sam, said no thanks to the hotel guy, said Aerith's outfit looked comfortable. Curious, indeed... Edit: perhaps it's based...

The airbuster fight and subsequent Cloud falling scene left my hands shaking! Granted, that may have been because I turned it up painfully loud in my headphones to rock out to the boss theme harder, but still. Most intense moment of the game by far for me so far. All of Ch. 5-6-7 seems like such...

wow you are correct, there is no substance to FLCL beyond being creepy and weird, and enjoying this beloved anime does in fact put me on the exact same level as people who passionately debates the merits of a final fantasy character's tit size, damn you got me

god you people are creepy weirdos

I'm 99.9% certain they meant the first game has 2 discs worth of content - if the first game is Midgar, it's practically inconceivable the rest would be on a single disc.

I just...geez louise, I expected to be happy with what I saw, and those expectations were far exceeded. This game looks absolutely incredible.

Oh dang! Unless the materia slot goes all the way through the sword and that's just the explosion, he's got a yellow one here! Hmm..I'm guessing Sense?

Just paused and zoomed in a bit, and Cloud appears to only have 1 green materia in the Buster Sword, so looks like no Long Range on that clip. (edit: I guess it could be on his bangle, though. Did his bangle have materia in it when Aerith grabbed his hand..? *rushes off to look*)

My hunch is that the jump is default, but only goes to the height in that clip, which is not very high. About the height of your average hovering sentry drone. Then you've got Long Range Materia for an extended max range on your dash and jump attacks. Equipping Long Range and then dashing the...
