    Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion

    I don't know if this is useful, but the Kindle e-book locations: 34% of the way through the book 野島一成. 小説FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Traces of Two Pasts (Kindle Locations 1377-1380). スクウェア・エニックス. Kindle Edition. and 50% of the way through (near the end of Tifa's chapter) 野島一成. 小説FINAL...

    Translated Interviews from the Kaitai Shinsho (AKA Dismantled) Complete Guide

    Original Nomura sketches of Barret have his name written "Blow" (25th Memorial Ultimania Vol.2, p.032). Wait, Barret wears Eleanor's pendant in AC? That doesn't make sense. The other curious thing: I didn't think the first one was Cloud's inner voice (his inner voice is usually signified by...

    How does Vincent already know who Nero is?

    I think they used the term at TGS2006 when these things were announced. I initially found out about it via ffdic, but it is mentioned on the FFVII History timeline in the 10th Anniversary Ultimania. If we're talking about the 20th Anniversary Ultimania, yeah it's weird to name a header...

    How does Vincent already know who Nero is?

    Remake isn't part of the Compilation, nor did Nomura say that (at least in the interview where this idea was popularised). What he actually said in that interview was that at the time of the Compilation, the Remake project started as a fifth entry, however the project never took off and it was...

    Final Fantasy VIII General Discussion

    To clarify, the original PC version (and the non-remastered version on Steam) included the Chocobo World PocketStation minigame. The Remastered version does not have Chocobo World, but the rewards are instead available through Angelo Search. Said rewards are MiniMog, Moomba, and the Ribbon...

    Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier

    This was never how I interpreted the quote about Shiva. Taking it as an event that actually happened flies in the face of what they say in FFVII. In FFVII they explain the north is cold because the planet's energy gathered to heal the injury, leaving everything around to wither. I initially...

    The Five Bosses of Godo's Pagoda

    Gorki's name is likely also a play on 剛力 or 力 in some way, given that's his transformation. Machoke actually has the exact same name in Japanese. FF things rarely have their origins explained anywhere. The wiki's etymology sections generally avoid outright saying something is the origin, unless...

    Translated Interviews from the Kaitai Shinsho (AKA Dismantled) Complete Guide

    @Obsidian Fire That first excerpt explains what they're made to believe about Cloud at North Crater. The second excerpt is saying all that Aerith knows about Cloud (even though it turns out to be not true). The third excerpt is a mistranslation (the paragraph also isn't in the correct place...

    [Spoilers] Material Ultimania Plus discussion

    The Japanese edition of the Material Ultimania and the Material Ultimania Plus are available for purchase on Kindle. (Edit: Also Traces of Two Pasts, which I don't think was an e-book earlier. i've just bought it now anyway)

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    The delisted Android version of FFI actually didn't have the bonus dungeons (and music player and bestiary) for an unknown reason. That didn't even have the argument of being based on an earlier version. It was the PSP/iOS version but gutted. And they actually have added quite a lot of stuff...

    Religion and deities in the setting (split from "Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion")

    VII Remake seemed to imply summons are born from the thoughts of people. Kinda like Heroic Spirits in Fate. Materia is kinda human thoughts crystallised after all. Shiva is from a folktale explaining why the Icicle Area is so icy. So a people revering Leviathan as a water god could have...

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

    Gast mumbled about Jenova not being an Ancient, and he mumbled about having done a terrible thing. The terrible thing he did was human experimentation with the genes of an evil space alien. It doesn't indicate that that he thinks the human experimentation he did would have been terrible had...

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    Yeah, every game got new dungeons with new bosses. Some new jobs for FFV, and some other features. FFI and FFII added gimmick dungeons for PSP. -FFIV added the ability to switch members of the party, and gave "trials" to each party member where Lunar Eidolons (basically Dark Aeons) were...

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    I played FFI on PS1 with the charge system. It was fine. It was never something that needed to be "fixed", it was just the way the game was designed. And the remasters are adding quality of life additions. They have auto-battle. I'm not sure if they were using dash, but movement looked faster...

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    Too little because it's the first and only English release featuring the most (of the six) especially made content, or too much because "NES game old"?

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    What's the deal with that terrible thin font? Who saw that and thought "this is fine"? I don't know what to expect from the new OSTs. You wouldn't expect them to change them up too much otherwise it goes against the whole faithful remaster thing. And I don't really get dropping the things...

    Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

    RE: Removing FFV and VI I never bought the version because I was hoping someone would create mods with faithful upscaled character sprites... But (especially for FFV) the enemy sprites were glorious. The battle backgrounds were fine too. Some other stuff was a bit jank, but they were so close...

    Final Fantasy IX: The Animated Series?

    My opinion on adaptations: -If I haven't seen the original: Wow, that was good. Maybe I'll look into the original. -If I have seen the original: Wow, what's the point? The original is fine and didn't need this adaptation. It was thanks to the ill-suited anime adaptation of Danganronpa that I...

    Repository of Debunked Rumors

    No English fans played Before Crisis, so in the early years of the wiki the surefire to get something to stick was to say that Before Crisis said it. Most editors familiarity with Before Crisis came from the information on those articles, and most English FF fans got their information from the...

    SPOILERS INTERmission Chapter 2 Spoiler Discussion

    I think they want us to think that Yuffie knowing about Deepground and Nero wouldn't change Dirge that much. They wanted to make a DLC, used Yuffie because her wherabouts at this point in time weren't written about, and messing with Deepground allows for good bosses and fan service in a place...
