So Mako, if you had to guess, how would you say the different classes of SOLDIER compare to one another? Obviously 1sts are just kinda their own thing, but what about 3rds compared against 2nds?

So, in the example of the Roche fight we'd say Cloud isn't quite 1-c level yet, but is close enough to emulate that sort of ability momentarily?

I still feel that the Roche fight is a bit early for Cloud to have 1st class abilities. Roche was doing some pretty crazy stuff to, so I just kinda assume that that sort of over the top fuckery is just a thing that SOLDIER members in general can do. But yeah, Cloud should probably at or around...

Of for sure, Cloud builds his strength pretty quickly once he gets rolling, but at the very start he should still be, well not weak, but less strong I suppose. Zack commented on how he felt weaker when he first escaped, so we know atrophy can set in to some degree regardless of mako or Jenova...

He does seem to have some trouble with Roche in cutscenes as well. On the bikes he was having a hard time trying to both drive and fight, and was only able to handle him decisively once he had Jessie take over the steering. Also he seemed at least briefly caught off guard by Roche's speed in...

I don't know if I'd say Cloud is that strong at the start of remake. I mean yeah, by the end I could definitely see him matching well against most 1sts, but at the start of the game he's just gotten done with a five year stint of floating in a tube/ being dragged around by Zack, so I feel even...

True, but that's not really a good indicator of his strength back then. He was only able to pull that off due to a sneak attack previously. In a straight duel that version of Cloud would never stand a chance against Sephiroth

Obviously Cloud is pretty strong, strong enough to pass as the SOLDIER he claims to be as evidenced by his ability to defeat opponents like Roche and Reno. But at the same time we also know he's not nearly as strong as he'll get later on, as evidenced by how easily Sephiroth was able to beat him...

My sincerest hope is that when the anime eventually does return, and it will; this franchise is insanely profitable so they will never leave it alone, I hope they use the art style from the Broly movie. It felt much closer to how Z looked, and my understanding is that less detail oriented style...

The new arc in the manga seems pretty interesting so far. I love that it feels like a direct continuation from the events of the Moro arc. Making the arcs feel connected to each other is something DBS hasn't done all that well in the past. Plus, these last two chapters have been doing a ton of...

Most recently I've played the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. Its really promising, I think. It looks really nice, the music is great, both the characters and the story are engaging. Only problem is the combat. Don't get me wrong, its a good combat system; a mostly faithful recreation of...

I saw the new George Clooney film, The Midnight Sky. It was ok, I suppose. Clooney was killing it, visuals were nice to look at, some wonky cgi notwithstanding, and there are a few genuinely tense scenes. But overall when the credits rolled I just felt kinda, I dunno, underwhelmed I suppose. I...

Very nice. When I eventually move back to WA we'll have to meet up sometime

That's a lot of driving. Did a stint like that a couple years back, was not fun, especially in just a few days. Hope you took plenty of breaks

Welcome back dude! It's been to long

Can I get a user name change back to Lord Noctis? Greatly appreciated

Also, given that one of the next places they go after she loses her gun is a Shinra warehouse where they appearantly have a bunch of troops stationed, and lots of weapons and such in storage, plus the other Avalanche group rolling in, it's not unreasonable to assume that maybe she acquired a new...

Yeah, basically. With the big guy dead we see Sephiroth absorb the remaining whispers, essentially gainning power over fate, hence how he can just conjure meteor and such despite not having the Black Materia at this stage. Thus when Cloud slams his sword directly into Sephiroth's face, the...

For me personally, whether or not I agree with the whispers motive is going to depend entirely on what Nomura and co do with their newfound, boundless, terrifying freedom

Yeah, I'm about 100% sure the whispers won't show up again. Killing them off was kinda the whole point of of Chapter 18 as well as Sephiroth's whole plan throughout the game, and he succeeded. The whispers are dead and no longer able to effect the outcome of events. Hence Sephiroth's line...
