Could be! In Japanese, Barret's says "Let's go, Cloud". Translation by @aitaikimochi

Some fun editing here. Barret's "You coming?" takes place outside the hotel at Ghost Square, whereas Yuffie's response "Way ahead of you" takes place at Costa del Sol. In the release date trailer, we see Tifa swimming in some lifestream/mako. We now have a glimpse at how she ended up there...

Chapter 17 Part 3 - Rufus "Rufus Shinra, is that you? Boy do I feel sorry for you." I did not know that if you attack Rufus directly in the first 5 or so seconds of the battle, a special cutscene plays out. When it happened I yelped, I was caught so off guard. Four years and 400 hours later...

Yuffie's pink ribbon in remembrance of Aerith is tied to her left arm in Advent Children. The bandages on her 4-Point Shuriken are also part of the model in Intermission and Rebirth. I think they're there to act as a grip.

It's a serious problem (for me) that they've released a gacha game where the entire cast is my favorite. There's like 6 characters I want to raise up and nowhere near enough time or blue crystals to accomplish that. I thought for sure Landscaper would be her second limit break. Not that I'm...

I also added "No limit breaks" to my challenge, since I realized I haven't used one yet in 21 bosses. With just 4 to go, might as well make it a rule.

Chapter 17 Part 2 - Jenova Quickening Dreamweaver Bosses so far have taken about 1-3 minutes to beat. Jenova, however, doubles that. The longest boss so far. And with no weaknesses, it's mostly a war of attrition. Fortunately, Jenova can be inflicted with status aliments. Poison, Silence...

Chapter 17 Part 1 - Swordipede Finally an easy one! Swordipede's head is more vulnerable than its tail. Make sure you have line of sight of it before using any abilities. That's how I was able to end the first phase so quickly. For the second phase, pair Lightning materia with Synergy. If you...

Wanted to grief about this somewhere: I think the new female vocalist they picked is too jazzy. It's evident to me that they wanted someone who sounded similar to P5's Lyn. It speaks to a larger issue I have with Reload. From the menus, to the game design, to the vocalist, their goal was to...

My review: I like how this opening starts out quiet. It makes it stand out amongst the other Persona openings so far. The animation throughout is solid. I especially like how Yukari is smiling in the mirror, but not in the sink water. Both are reflections and reveal different aspects of her...

Chapter 16 - Specimen HO512 Once again I'm back in the lab. Another boss fight where almost every move I make has meaning. For example, at the start I stand to the left of HO512 so that I don't get hit by its Noxious Explosion ability, which has a huge hitbox. Parrying is the key overall...

Every time this thread is updated an angel gets their wings.

The games I completed in 2023. GOTY goes to Armored Core VI, runner-up is Persona 2 Eternal Punishment.

Before Remake, no one predicted that the scene at the end of the Midgar Expressway, a straightforward story beat in the OG, could become as twisty as it did. Likewise, I don't think Aerith's death will be straightforward. I think the storytellers are going to try and pull something, and...

Finally writing down some thoughts I had back in September: From watching the various previews, it's clear that a lot of time was put into Sephiroth's animations and abilities. A bit too much for one chapter if you ask me. It's often been theorized around here that Cloud will be the final boss...

Wanted to note that the recent Game Informer articles are actually snippets of a larger, printed feature which can be viewed here: https://gameinformer.mydigitalpublication.com/publication/?m=10122&i=810557&p=18&ver=html5 Below are two of my favorite snippets. First, the crowd reaction to...

In remembrance, I suggest watching the first two minutes of the video below, starring Tim Rogers after hours at the last E3. Then stick around for the whole video. Both eerie and hilarious.

It's been noted in the Discord that in the Terrier Stamp world (the one with Zack), it's unlikely that Shinra delivered Aerith directly to Elmyra's house after being recovered from the rubble. She was probably taken directly to Hojo. This would then require Zack to rescue her. I agree. As such...

I've been onboard with pretty much every character design change in the Remake Project. Tifa's stockings, Aerith's dress, Yuffie's arm guard, all good with me. But now there's been a misfire: Vincent's hair. In the OG, AC, and DC, Vincent's hair is long and luscious. Sure there's spikes (or...

Really fun design breakdown for Vincent. His new gun has the same materia slots as Quicksilver.
