That's always been my interpretation as well, though it's certainly never stated explicitly. I think it's also another neat contrast to Sephiroth, because in a way, and for a brief moment, she became "one with the planet" just like he wanted to by leading it to stop Meteor and possibly spare...

That was definitely a concern of mine too, especially because I didn't like it when people looked at the Compilation instead of the original for certain characterizations and plot points. Over time, however, I've come to view the remake-OG situation as a kind of movie-book adaptation. I imagine...

As I think I’ve said elsewhere, I never felt the need for a remake (still don’t). Plus, I always had a strong dislike for the Compilation and was absolutely 100% positive they would totally botch it. In fact, I was firmly in the “if they ever, ever touch FFVII again I will go to Japan and...

Shinra Middle Manager. Did he mean this guy? Can't wait to watch his slow descent into madness in full HD :mon:Fingers crossed for the lady who walked looking on the ground to grab stuff, then up after the pillar crashed and finally just straight ahead after Meteor was summoned! I found that...

Wha… Did they remove the Highwind because it's not in this part and/or they don't want to design it yet or something? A pity, it was a meaningful detail. These are gorgeous btw!

It's Italian. Yes, by all means, normally it works that way and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. I've looked it up to be sure, however, and these (Sun, Earth, Moon) are a bit of an exception: when these words refer to the actual celestial bodies, they are to be considered proper names, at least...

I think I’ve also heard it called and read it as “Earth” without an article: “life on Earth,” “Earth was our home.” But I don’t know if that sounds awkward or is incorrect, I’m not equipped to argue over the finer points of the English grammar, so I won’t even try :monster: For what it’s worth...

That's not what happened with the word "Sun/Sol", though. They didn't call it Sun because it was a sun. I'm not an expert, but like many other ancient peoples, the Romans thought it was a very unique celestial body with divine proprieties and they lacked our current understanding of what a sun...

That’s true, that is the way they often use the word in the game. At the same time, the word “planet” does seem to imply a larger understanding of the universe than the word “Earth”, which as you said was first and foremost the earth. So before the inhabitants of the planet grasped that they...

Perhaps it’s not that he’s a symbol of Compilation material that is likely to be incorporated in the Remake, so much as that he’s a symbol of unnecessary retcons that cast shadows over pre-existing moments from the original game, and possibly over the Remake as well, even when he doesn’t...

I think the problem is that Genesis and everything that concerned him was very jarring in a way that seemed to clash with the original without adding much of substance in return – case in point, the new version of the Nibelheim incident, which was at the very core of the original game and for...

HA, I also first saw Omnislash the first time my sister beat Sephiroth, didn't even know it existed! It was a hell of a finish! You guys just reminded me of some of my deep-buried trauma about the bosses of this game. My personal nightmare was Demon Wall, it would always kill my poor babies by...

This thread is really beautiful. I grew up with FFVII. My parents bought me a PlayStation for Christmas in 1998, and by chance FFVII was included. I was eight at the time, had never played anything like that before and the game has never been translated into my language, so the English text...

Oh wow, in the larger image there's actually a tiny (main?) character on the lower left side, I think. I also spot a sword and a cute flying dragon. I've heard a lot of good things about Yoshida, though I've never played FFXIV myself. Here's hoping this really turns out to be FFXVI and that...

If anyone’s interested, there’s people on reddit posting summaries and even a translation of the dialogues here. Look, I know that a lot of this is just very good marketing bullshit, but there’s something to be said about the respect. Before the first trailer and the first interviews came out...

RE: Rude's (and Barret's?) skintone, I've seen people guess it could be because of the lighting, which will likely be improved and tweaked until the game releases. Since we're talking about Tseng, I hope we get to see more of his relationship with Aeris. I wonder, will he slap her this time around?

Yes to everything you said, @fancy. The unkemptness plus the creepy smirk/look in his eyes is what made the charm of the character for me as well, visually speaking. When I think of the Turks, and specifically Reno, I have to concede they’re a testament to Nomura as a character designer...

Wait, genuine question, if Gillian got injected with Jenova cells and had Angeal at a later time, does that mean that if Cloud had children they’d be like Angeal? I'm a bit fuzzy on Crisis Core.

A Very Turk Musical confirmed :desucait: The idea that Elena is played by Junko Enoshima's VA really amuses me for some reason. :P Apparently she also voiced Paine from FFX-2 and Aqua from KH.

Could I have my username changed to just youffie? I think I used to have an account here with that name, but then I forgot the password and couldn’t get it back because I also forgot which email address I used… So I just created this one. I didn’t make any posts with that account, so it should...
