    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    I'm planning on buying a tablet for this and EC. Does anyone know if the minimum operating specs needed for either game have been specified?

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    I suspect the book is probably referring to both. They're both part of the same starry sky, just in opposite directions. But that's precisely what the phrasing "at a crossroads" means in English. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I instantly took "Destiny's Crossroads" to suggest Cloud...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    Yes, Nomura specified in the Famitsu interview I linked above that EC's battle system will be based on the ATB of the original game.

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    Ehhh, the very first thing shown in the announcement trailer is the sentence "Another possibility for a remake," and Nomura then described the game as "another form of remake of the original FF7" and emphasized that it's "a work based on the original" in ways that Remake is not, and that it is...

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    Gracias. :monster: I could see him saying that last line as well, though, in cheeky reference to the original FF's ending narration that suggests the player was one of the Warriors of Light ("For you are the warrior who crossed time").

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    I think we both know that after this thing comes out, when Nomura is asked "Is this the origin story of the first FF?" -- he's going to respond "Well, what do you think? If you imagine that Garland's actions in this game do, in fact, lead into those at the beginning of FFI, that is one answer...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    Yeah, all of this. "Dew that quenches the land" absolutely paints an image of a thirsty environment receiving the moisture it needs to restore it.

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    For the first SOLDIERs to have finally "emerged from the fray" 18 years ago (12 years later) after countless failures and casualties, that suggests there were candidates prior. Who else are these casualties supposed to be?

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    "Clearly"? How so? The premise of the game as advertised in the first trailer is "Can you become history's first SOLDIER?" and the first tweet about it from the official FFVII remake twitter says we will be playing "as a SOLDIER candidate." That all suggests the present day for us (as the...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    But they didn't appear spontaneously. Who knows how long it took for individual successes to be determined to arrive, one by one, at the batch who would become the first SOLDIERs -- so the game could easily visit any of that time period.

    Did Hojo manipulate Lucrecia? [split from Repository of Debunked Rumors]

    You're not wrong that there is a degree of subjectivity, but I do feel that there's also an objective element in whether the character readily lends themselves to what the plot wants to do with them -- and also that this is a reasonable enough qualification to include in the rubric. Take...

    Did Hojo manipulate Lucrecia? [split from Repository of Debunked Rumors]

    I don't care what The Fandom does, though, when the topic is what *I* do. I feel like pointing this out has become a recurring theme (see also: not necessarily simping for Qui-Gon while calling out the Jedi Order's abysmal failures). =P I point out that Lucrecia is a crap character not because...

    Did Hojo manipulate Lucrecia? [split from Repository of Debunked Rumors]

    You're not being assumed to act in bad faith. I asked a sincere question about your approach because I wanted you to maybe explain it to me in a way I actually understand. You say "I'm not leaving anything out," and I definitely think you believe that -- but you also definitely are, so it's...

    I really hope one of them works for the FBI.

    I know What's Beneath the Snow Fields, a ridiculously long FF7 fic from 1999

    I'm so sorry, dude. ? There was about a week there I was having a miserable time and don't think I even posted on the forum. I guess it slipped my mind during that time, and I'm still getting caught up around here. Dude, you're a warm, beating heart of this place. Seriously. You could do the...

    Sephiroth, Genesis and Angeal

    I don't know to what extent it helps the discussion, but I checked the Ultimania Omega and the passage from which Mako quoted a translation uses the "Great Northern Cave" (北の洞窟) location designation rather than the "Northern Crater" (北のクレーター) or "Great Cave Crater" (大空洞火口) designations. We in...

    Did Hojo manipulate Lucrecia? [split from Repository of Debunked Rumors]

    I've pretty much always thought this is what happened. I promise my enormous disdain for Lucrecia didn't emerge from thin air. You can say "anything else is headcanon," but at a certain point we don't need every last detail spoonfed back to us on a chart to see how a relationship exists...

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    I usually find precocious kids endearing, but I've also never been a teacher outside Sunday School.

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    That's pretty much precisely how she comes across in the English dub to me, so I would say mission accomplished. We now know unequivocally that the concept of something like the Judeo-Christian God exists in that world, though. And even when we only had the original game, that church was still...
