One thing to note: I did only about half of these things and still got the Chocobo Sam quests, and am seeing many different sequences posted in different places online as well, so I'm not sure any of the existing guides can really be 100% trusted. More likely than not, it just requires doing...

That's right, I remember now. I just wish at that point, Cloud had gone back and been "hey we have a problem," leading to them seeking Andrea's approval (because Madame M and Sam have already recommended a candidate) and then to the adventure of the original in service of that. The events are in...

I'm glad so many people are so head-over-heels for this chapter, but it was another mixed bag for me. There were, again, plenty of things I liked, so I'll start with those: The highway was neat. Not as good as the sun lamp dungeon, mind. But it was fun, the high five thing was an adorable gag...

A quick thought about The Great Stamp Debate: if meant to indicate an alternate timeline, why would a mascot change, of all things? Yes, yes, butterfly effect and all, but Zack surviving has no bearing on the already-existing design of his company’s propaganda. The crux of this timeline theory...

I spoiled myself on the REALLY big stuff before release, which has actually helped me feel like I don't really need to rush it, since I can already join in on the Big Conversations (if a bit more passively). I am kinda feeling some time pressure because my planned gaming time of 6 hours per...

This chapter was okay. I found the quests a lot less well-presented than Chapter 3's - without a similar framing device, they felt more disjointed, and there wasn't really a mini-dungeon like the factory to explore either. Also - why the hell was Cloud such an asshole to that old dude who wanted...

I dunno, I think that could work depending on how it's presented. I would certainly prefer it to Reality-Hopping AC Sephiroth.

The more I think back on this chapter, the more I remember how totally packed it was! I do really want to talk about the quests, though. I dug the quests. They weren't anything mind-blowing gameplay wise, but I appreciated a few things about them: The context was great. The idea that Cloud is...

Air Buster was rough. It took me two tries, but a good part of that was probably because I keep forgetting I have the more powerful version of spells. Like @Mayo Master , though, I had Elemental linked with Thunder (on Tifa), so that helped a lot. I found Cloud's fall to be a bit...sudden, I...

I loved this chapter, obviously. I'm working through these threads in reverse here, kind of, so a lot of my takeaways echo what I said in the Chapter 5 thread: the character moments are executed nearly-perfectly, and a lot of that has to do with the delivery of the English voice cast. The...

Aside from the expansive new dungeon added with all that wonderful sun lamp worldbuilding, I really appreciated some of the character moments here. The standout for me was Barrett earnestly giving advice that he took wholesale from one of Marlene's favourite storybooks, Tifa knowing exactly...

One neat detail I noticed: I couldn't confirm if this happened all the time, but it seemed like enemies groups were typically placed close to the branching doors that led to chests and such along the tunnel in this chapter. Not only does that make sense, but it also helps indicate the presence...

I really wish DualShockers would just publish the entire interview, rather than snippet summaries sandwiched into an opinion piece. It's like when you have to read paragraphs of pre-amble before getting to a recipe that you looked up online.

In addition to what @Theozilla said... The semantics are only really noteworthy because the people crying "SeQuEl!" aren't simply trying to categorize - they're using semantics of terminology as a form of criticism themselves, I suspect because the game's defiance of expectations feels like a...

This premise can only really serve as a sequel if it involves people from the "First" timeline actively altering things as a result of what came before. If it's simply a person within this story being able to see what will happen and acting to change it, then it has no (Watsonian) interaction...

Why not, though? Removing all spite from it (and @Saven's post certainly didn't seem spiteful), what isn't funny about Gilbert Gottfried voicing characters totally unsuited for his dulcet tones?

I guess the issue I take with it is...more upfront how? The guy who called me a "shill" predicated his entire rant on the fact that it's a sequel and not a remake, but that's only one possible read of the ending which (like you said) may not even be true in the end. Also, whatever the case...

They delivered exactly what they advertised they would: a remake of the Midgar chapter with its elements and story added to and expanded. The Whispers were openly a part of the game from some of the earliest trailers, so they aren't even a surprise - and it remains to be seen how much their...

I got accused of being a morally-bankrupt Square shill because I told a guy that we weren't, in fact, lied to by the marketing when they said it was a Remake. What a wild time!

I think it's more that they're asking us to be comfortable with potential change, while simultaneously trying to reassure that the narrative beats and character moments will still be represented with care. In that sense, it's not contradictory at all - those two elements complement each other...
