Sure, though I guess this could be another instance where we need to distinguish between “canon” and “continuity”

Couldn’t they recast Genesis for the remake while still keeping Gackt’s original CC voicework for CCR?

I took the “history has not changed” bit to mean that Crisis Core is still Crisis Core and remains untouched by the story twists that specifically occur in the context of Remake. In-universe history from within Remake has changed, but the history of CC and the OG have not. Basically I’m not...

I mean yeah, they’re all Final Fantasy VII

Ultimania describes Cloud’s heart beating during the Evergreen Park date with Aerith so “doki doki” became a calling card of sorts…so naturally, a revelation like what’s been found in the game files would invite some totally normal well-adjusted not-at-all-rabid responses from the community

But but but reeee Nomura bad Kingdom Hearts bad

Not according to Twitter apparently lol

Aerith and Sephiroth’s foresight and the Whispers are woven throughout Remake leading up to the last chapter, though. I’ll agree that the last chapter was kinda jarring but there was buildup towards that direction all throughout the game even going as far as the opening cinematic. And for as...

If the goal was to make people excited about iconic scenes being remade while also keeping them on their toes about what’s next, I think it’s fair to use the largely positive reception to the game as a metric for whether or not the devs pulled off what they set out to do

Final Fantasy VII Remake Revisited Chapter 1 Final Fantasy VII Remake Revisited Chapter 2 Final Fantasy VII Remake Revisited Chapter 3 From Chapter 3:

I specifically did that, I’ll happily concur that I’m not beyond reproach here lol. The point being made there is more about the redundancy of remakes. Why bother retelling an old story when it’s still playable today? I’d make the same point about people who just wanted the OG battle system...

As far as Cloud’s development supposedly being ruined if he were to encounter Zack before the Lifestream, it all boils down to execution. Though an illusion, technically we already saw Cloud responding to seeing Zack in the OG and it made him trip the hell out, so imagine how much more confusing...

Though she may look good with short hair, it still feels like blasphemy lol long hair all day

Surely you’re not the only one who thought of that one here, but everybody else at least had the sense to not actually write it

Every dog has its day, way I see it. We wouldn’t be where we are without FF and that will never change so whether or not the franchise is as innovative today relative to how it was in its prime is frankly of little consequence to me. If you’re lucky, you get one opportunity to innovate and push...

I mean I can’t think of anything worse than a studio soulessly churning out the same game with every installment, this ain’t Call of Duty or NBA 2K lol. Long as they’re passionate about their work, it’s fine by me. If I don’t like something they put out, I’ll just stick with what I like or find...

I’ll just write Renew/Renewal, Requiem, Return/Returnal and Revive/Revival, then come back after the name reveal and see if I got any hits Also Operation Reunion will remember that.

I wonder if somehow the uncanny valley plays into effect here, a lot of old-school practical effects are so obviously fake yet that somehow adds to the creepiness to me
