    VGCartography - Showcasing FFVII's 3D models

    That map is a gem. Flat enough to see where everything is but that depth helps so much. Those Weapons and Enemy graphics are *very* impressive.

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    The Planet has more than once showed that it *does* care about humanity in the Compilation as well. It cares about life/humanity in general when it works to stop Meteor from crashing rather than erase humanity from existance for instance. It also *can* care about individuals that come in contact...

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    The red nebula has always looked like a slightly smudge "Sephrioth standing in the flames" scene to me. It's worth pointing out that the devs have said elsewhere that Sephiroth has control over the "space" that is End of Creation. So I wouldn't think *either* of the nebula are a good thing.

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    One thing to remember is that they are *deliberaly* holding information back. A lot of this is being talked about in vague terms because Remake is Part 1 of a multi-chaptered story and there's no way NKNT (Nomura, Kitase, Nojima, Toriyama) are spoiling what they think are big plot twists down...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    We know it's not turn-based combat though. It's based on Remake's combat with Remake's character/environment models...

    What games are you currently playing?

    Currently playing Potion Craft... which is an Early Access game on Steam. But it's crafting mechanic is *really good* and it's probably the best "RP as an Alchemist running a potion shop" game I've ever seen.

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    My feeling is that EC will continue the story after DoC. And go into how exactly Sephiroth, Aerith and whoever else came back in time. So EC would be like "timeline before fate was killed" and Remake would be "timline after fate was killed". There doesn't need to be some in-game reason that we...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    It *really* depends on the work being localized. And the overall effect of how it's localized. Some works don't have literal localization, but get the meaning across just fine and all the more power to those kinds of projects! FFXIV is a example of that kind of work where all the langueges...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    It has been talked about. They are releasing Chapter 1 of all the titles in Ever Crisis at the same time. So Chapter One of the OG, CC, DC, EC, AC, BC, etc. will all be released at once. Presumably 1st SOLDIER too then.

    Final Fantasy XVI

    Quality can refer to a lot of things other than modeling. The combat system, anything regarding progression mechanics, etc. Whatever is going on, it's clear they're at the "polishing" stage of game development and everything seems to be going as planned regarding production time. Which easily...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    Ironically, FFVII as a whole comes down on *neither* side of this. It ends to go for a more idiomatic translation rather than a literal one and then misses the spirt of the original in the process. One of the most frustrating things about translating FFVII material is that a literal translation...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    Picturing the Past has Sephiroth Copy #24 (Lilisa Meg) be made when Aerith was a kid while she was still living in the Shinra Building. Which... *does some math* Aerith was born in 1985. If she's what... five... let's say? in Picturing the Past, then it's 1990 when Lilisa is made into...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    I know dew is liquid. But you *can* (and very often do!) quench a fire with water... and the *object* of quench is usually a physical object. Very often times, the thing doing the quenching is never directly said only implied (or *how* something is quenched is never specified). But what is being...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    Gillian was working on a... very interesting project at Shinra back in the day according to some NPC dialouge around the Shinra building... So I bet it's her talking with Hollander. They *did* have a kid together... funnily, Gillian looks like a female Genesis... which also makes a ton of sense...

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    Don't forget that the *ending* of FF1 was making sure the events leading up to the entire game never happened. The WoL lose their memories of their old timeline, everyone forgets them, there's no need for a WoL to exist at all, a couple thousand years of history get rewritten, etc. Final...

    Opera Omnia Dissidia News/Discussion Thread

    The way I order my roster is by game series. You also have ten party slots, so that simplifies things too. I'll have one party slot for general farming, another for crystal farming, another for my Lalye/Kiess/X launch team, another for Summon Board farming (with Tifa), another for whatever event...

    Tonberrytroupe and Dissidiainfo are amazing resources for knowing how to build characters. And figuring out what holes you have in your roster and how to effectively fill them. *looks at Cid Raines and then looks at fully kitted out Layle and Keiss* Will your banner just drop already so I can...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    The trouble I have is that "quench the land" doesn't make me think of water. It makes me think of a land being made *barren* of any life in it. So I was... reading "to become the dew to quench the land" almost as "to become a poison to the land". Which is... the opposite of what the line...

    LOVELESS - When did the play first start being shown?

    And the FFVII world desperately needs more backstory to make it feel "lived in". One of the weaknesses of the setting is the gaping years of history between Jenova wiping the Cetra out and when Shinra came to power. Having literature a bunch of people obsess over is... almost a human universal...
