Hmm I do wonder how Japanese would express a makeshift family structure/found family. It’s a very non traditional setup, so I wonder if it’s difficult to express literally, so they took a poetic route? Pondering out of ignorance on my part.

I think they mean that Cloud won’t be out of party leader for very long. The idea proposed would result in Cloud not being the primary perspective character for a good chunk of the game, probably approaching half of it. That’s a tall order for SE, even I would agree with that. I think they...

It would make sense tbh. There’s plenty of opportunity to really push his mental instability up through NC and showing it from just outside his pov would be perfect imo A really haunting way you could show it is having one dialogue option to kind of bait people into thinking it’s business as...

Wouldn’t shock me if they at least know what will set people off on socials, either from personal experience or from what they’ve heard from people monitoring the hashtags. Funny how a game where “who Cloud likes is up to the player” that Tifa is the wrong answer. Makes you think…

I mean, the kiss between Cloud and Tifa kinda went viral in the gaming sphere but yeah those statistics seem easy to cheese.

The all mighty three shoe beating? No mortal can possibly wield such raw destructive might. Considering how thick it’s been laid on with these two during what’s supposed to be a tense period between them… I’m thinking Highwind’s high affection version will be standard.

If Thor taught me anything, it’s that two hammers are rad af

They’ve been pretty blatant from the beginning tbf, it’s just that any Cloud and Aerith 1:1 is automatically interpreted as everlasting love… when they met an hour ago. Part 3 needs to be pretty upfront with Cloud and Tifa for the overall discourse to finally stop with the frustrating “it’s up...

Ehh maybe, but I do prefer keeping NC in the same game as the LS sequence because the two instances are tied together. They certainly could’ve included it by cutting stuff out but I’d want the NC to have maybe 2 chapters worth because we also have the Professor Gast tapes that I’d want to be...

Doesn’t CoLW happen before Advent Children?

There’s a part in the late game where the question of if humanity itself is part of the problem with the dying planet is asked. It’s actually right around the time the White Materia is explained if I remember right. But this is why I’m on the fence and not in full support: part 3 can just as...

Thanks for the correction, best to be accurate so as always, check me when needed. But yeah, I that’s my overall point. They kneecapped her death scene NOW so that it’s less about her death and more about what is happening around it and even when we see it play out simple and clean in part 3...

We would’ve definitely had a better idea for why they did what they did and maybe what they’ll do lol I dunno, I can easily see them knowing Aerith’s death sucks up almost all the oxygen in the room in the greater scheme of things. I may be completely making this up, but didn’t an interview...

Gonna be upfront that my perspective may be painting my read on Aerith’s death so keep that in mind when I say this: Aerith’s death isn’t any more or less sad than other party member deaths throughout FF as a franchise. I say this because I’m one of those who didn’t really feel much when I...

Because the thing people don’t like to hear is that FF7’s story isn’t perfect and isn’t really all that complex. What I noticed on ReTrilogy is that no one character gets the spotlight squarely on them with the others fading back. Barret’s section in Corel? He’s the focus, but everyone gets at...

Which kind of mimics how the original game tells its story. Crucial puzzle pieces are missing until the second half. The crucial information for understanding this timeline(?) stuff is also missing. If they gave it to you early, you’d predict the plot with 90% accuracy, I suspect

I’m personally trying not to make a decision about Aerith’s death until I see how it’s being used in the grand scheme. In the moment, we’re denied the feeling of the original scene in its shocking simplicity, but much like other changes earlier in the story, there could be a reason besides...

In my mind, I separate the story additions/expansions/changes from graphical/technical changes. For the expansions and alterations, I love way more than I don’t care for so far. Hard to make a fully committed statement until I have all the story to look over. Stuff like going to Jessie’s house...

Yeah, that wasn’t my intention. I don’t question the commitment and love put into the project, it radiates off of how much detail they put into NPC dialogue and even the sidequests people complained about in Remake still gave character moments and worldbuilding that I enjoyed. Before the Remake...

I will die on the hill that they could’ve done a remake to look like EC with super good combat models like in ReTrilogy and it would’ve been fine. I do appreciate all the production value of ReTrilogy, but imo the waiting period between parts is killer. I’m very curious how it all feels being...
