I was actually just thinking something along those lines last night. How crazy would it be to have Sephiroth fully take over Cloud during a 'reunion' moment, and Cloud, under Seph's control, would kill Aerith. In that tearful aftermath, it would be the Party vs Cloud instead of a Jenova piece...

You'd think that the battle system, the gun grappling segments, Barret and Tifa's epic cannonball move, and the entire last segment would have tipped people off that Advent Children is here to stay and is being built towards. We are in for some crazy ass Weapon fights and it is going to be glorious.

Hit Chapter 17 last night. I've now cleared all the standard battle sims, including the Legends (but I didn't get the Bad Breath Enemy Skill, so I'm going to have to complete that again at some point), so it's only the final Secret Battle to go.

And don't sleep on Bio. It's just soooo good for continuous damage to the Hell House (and most Boss Battles for that matter).

I feel like there needs to be more discussion on that Aerith and Marlene scene. Like. Seriously. Forget the ending. This needs dissecting.

It is time to once more pay homage to the Materia orb that is Poison lol. Bio really is a fantastic spell to use on Boss Battles, seriously allowing you to take consistent chunks off of their health when they keep hitting you hard or purposely remain out of reach. The ghost battle in the...

Damn. Chapter 9 kicked my ass this evening. Cloud and Aerith vs Hell House (with Tonberry support) was extremely difficult. After numerous attempts, I finally worked out that Bio was king here, and it kept chipping away at its life whilst I kept the party moving and buffed up with Manawall and...

Aerith discusses what the sky means to her during the church escape rooftop segment. She loved the steel sky - i.e the plate - because it protected her a little from hearing all the thoughts, feelings and dreams of all the people in the slums. Whether that meant the literal people, or their...

OMG I love it!

If the play-through gets too difficult I'm definitely seeking out that accessory, lol. I've just floored Reno though so I'm going to keep pushing on for now.

Er, Jessie surviving is debatable, but seems inevitable. The glove and the connection to the Gold Saucer are a good bet that she is. Whether she, or any of the others, will remain that way, well...

It's cool that you thought that, but for anyone who hadn't played the original yet, they wouldn't have any of that foreknowledge of why he is important. They will soon know the extent to why they intervened, and the power that they wielded in trying to correct the course. Which, for the time...

Got to disagree there. If you want to label the Trio's death as 'cheap' because of the cop outs of them ending up alive, so be it, but Barret's was done specifically to show the full power of the Whispers. It wasn't a cheap trick and was rectified immediately.

In what way? Barret dying would have ... changed a heck of a lot in the flow of events. So much that they had to intervene and bring back this major player in events since he just wasn't supposed to die then and there. It was done to emphasize their push and power in trying to maintain the...

Are we sure that the Whispers are gone gone? Because there is the chance of some Final Destination style shit with Fate trying to reclaim those who should have died, over and over again. Heck, them being alive could even lead to some serious repercussions down the road.

Just reached Chapter 8 on Hard Mode. It's not been as bad as I was expecting ... so far. HP+, Chakra, Pray, Raise, Barrier and Barret have all been amazing.

I always assumed the Planet had a will and was self-aware. I thought that was the entire purpose of Aerith's communion with the Planet in order to unleash Holy. And that the Weapons weren't released as just a knee-jerk reaction because it only happened once Sephiroth had the Black Materia. Well...

It would have been nice for sure, but that's a lot to try implement for the final segment of the game, which is why they didn't make him playable in the first instance. I imagine Part II will have some insane link-combos and strikes. The gradual build up, throughout the entire game, of the...

I'm not a 'teenage twitter kid' and I absolutely loved the ending, loved that it keeps the original, loved that it turns this into a sequel / prequel retred of a branching timeline / AU / whatever, and I absolutely can't wait to see what comes next - both familiar and different. So ... *shrugs*

They're just the symbols to denote the different departments. I don't think there was meant to be any puzzle involved with that.
