    I'd play it. =P Though we wouldn't need playable DLC to depict that type of circumstance in some way.

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    You know, even though this thread had an early start before the actual release date, I'm not at all surprised how much chaos has ensued after a few days officially. The more it goes on, the more I do grow anxious for what comes next. But, at least there is my own somewhat sadistic enjoyment of...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    I mean, Vagrant Story and Tactics connection was more established by FFXII than by Tactics, with even the interviews also point out Vagrant Story being "away" from the Tactics universe. The Easter Eggs were abundant though, and for FFVII/FFX, I think believing that it will hatch into something...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    Except for Vagrant Story, this was established specifically from FFXII's creation, and with being firmly established to the Final Fantasy series, this wasn't even the intention for when Vagrant Story was created. Vagrant Story being connected to Ivalice is very much so more of a retcon as...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    Definitely don't think that's whats happening there, but it's fair enough to think that. It's all pretty different, after all. I mean, considering that's one of many literal applications of an Easter Egg in media, it's still in the scope of that. That isn't enough to provide the certainty of a...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    Well for the canonical connection between FFX and FFVII, I don't believe "joke" is really the expression there as much as varying Easter Eggs can be for any intended purpose. However it IS an Easter Egg, by the way it is being implemented here and has been over the years, yes. FFX and FFVII are...

    Things like that, a long with this whole thread, is what makes me believe they're pretty happy right now. lol Whether people agree or not, someone walking away frustrated but wanting more/answers is a sadistic dream of some writers. I can relate, ever so slightly.

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 8 Spoiler Discussion

    Lmao I try to think of it as a theme song representing the story in its entirety—given that Nojima wrote the lyrics, the multi-applicable approach is justified, I'd feel. It might be similar to the themes for the Kingdom Hearts series. The KH songs by Utada Hikaru (though somewhat standalone as...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 8 Spoiler Discussion

    I don't think it's uncommon for video games (sometimes film) to use themes in a multitude of ways outside of specific application, if not just to be a representation of itself as the main theme, really. As background music, it probably doesn't have any intentional meaning outside of the latter...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 8 Spoiler Discussion

    @pollenainne It depends on your applied meaning of "about Cloud and Zack", though. This could be the "perspective of Zack" that Cloud essentially inherited from Zack during his final moments—to be more precise, this would Zack towards Aerith. For it to be taken as a general representation of...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    I would also keep in mind that, Aerith's story doesn't necessarily end the moment she dies. There's a lot that she gains through this experience and learns about herself. Whether it's through the ending of FF7, the ambiguously canonical Maiden, Lifestream: White, or AC/AC:C, she doesn't just...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 8 Spoiler Discussion

    So since this is the Ch. 8 thread, I'm gonna hide this next bit in the spoiler tag just in case. Nah lol Zack certainly rose as a popular character after CC (given it was the moment he became a "true" character—outside of the dislike for Last Order or limited exposure in BC), but I wouldn't...

    That's essentially how I view Zack. With the additions to his Last Stand, rather than it being to change the end result, it'll just be a bit of a detour—to me, with the hope of story points that get emphasis at a later time as well.

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    Yeah, that's what I saw. A reaction like that is evasive and distant, which pretty much matches the tone of that similar thought process through ambiguous loss. There was nothing else after that, but that's what I think it poked at. I don't see how at that time it'd be about her thoughts of...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    I was pretty sure that was just a slight nudge at her own dealings with ambiguous loss—thinking someone is alive, even if they may not be. I'll have to rewatch it tho.

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    It's all correlated, actually. If one was to listen to her big speech on the moment on the bridge, the "steel sky", being the slums, is related to the life she had before all this, something adverse to the concept of going out into the "neverending sky" and facing "change". I don't know if it's...

    SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 18 Spoiler Discussion

    Eh, most people's opinions are going to be more set once we all get our hands on the game, watch walkthroughs, see interviews, etc. Just to be clear for myself, my concern, as much as I've been making the "Jenova-Heartless Darkside" joke, isn't really about any of that, actually. Just specific...
