A bindi is traditionally used in Indian cultures though, in my country. A red one means you're married, a black one is for unmarried women. In Buddhism however, forehead markings are the Urna. And it can be a dot, or a spiral...a general mark for luck, wisdom and representation of the...

Yeah. The turks being there works out. It's just the interactions between the characters that have small inconsistencies. Like one of the differences was that in BC, its the player Turk that meets up with Cloud/Zack/Sephiroth in front of the Inn and, then has conversation with Cloud about Tifa...

The puzzling thing to me is the clear nod towards Before Crisis i.e. Tifa runs after Maru, meets insect creatures, gets saved by Player Turk and recruited as the guide by Player Turk....stuff that wasn't in Crisis Core. Am wondering which "version" of Nibelhiem incident we'll be getting in Part2.

Are you referring to the Jessie enthusiast :lol: The most recent I saw was him accusing a content creator who does Resident Evil /FF crossovers that it was unfair that he/she didn't give Cloud/Jessie a kiss, the same way the content creator did one for Cloud/Leon Ada/Tifa. He even pulled out a...

I find fans get sucked so much into the translations / cultural nuances in arguing the LTD that they often place the Japanese interpretation on a pedestal - but SE develops games that is heavily marketed towards the US (I think SE's revenue was 70% US and Europe combined, while 30% rest of the...

Noctis and Luna ended up in the afterworld married...sealed with a kiss. Yet still people say ..."They were forced to get married. They didn't have a romance. His flashbacks of her gave such a sibling vibe. Noctis brushes off all the comments about Luna. You get a choices of what kind of...

I believe I read an interview in the past that producer Hideki Imaizumi said they had so much backlash re. the LO plot, they made sure they didn't repeat the same mistakes in Crisis Core. But LO in it's very early stages was actually used as trailer material for the announcement of Crisis Core...

If it's Maiden, then it came with Ultimania Omega - released in 2005. Crisis Core came 2 years later. And all Matsuyama could work off with is OG material. Just maybe some insight to how a multinational corporation works with translations...I can't say it's the same as the video industry, but...

I feel the good bulk of the quiet "Tifa camp" are the people who just generally follow the story and the plotline with little "shipping" bias. They're Aerith / Tifa agnostic, but they get the overall narrative. They play FF7/ FF7R and move on with life and move on to other games. They passively...

The problem with manga and the weekly release format is the bloat of 300+++ chapters. Authors who get popular are asked to extend their initial contracts with the publisher, hence all the weird filler episodes, gaidens, side stories, plot pivots over several years that authors themselves change...

Ah no worries. I was just wondering. It would be a hoot if there was no concept of marriage or weddings in Nibelhiem. Like, they were so backward that they traded sheep for daughters (jokes. But it WOULD be funny) Yeah I get that too. But the other "rings" weren't given prominence at all in the...

It's not just AC though. FF7 OG trying to split a romance between two female characters resulted in underdevelopment for both. With Aerith - there was all the trappings of a romance (She was the first one Cloud "laughs" with, Tifa shows jealousy, 3rd parties like Cait Sith implicate they'll end...

Every time I see this "Company X won't do X because it would piss off the fans", I think about Neil Druckmman laughing all the way to the bank with TLOU 2 being the 3rd highest grossing PS4 game of all time. This, despite the hate mail, death threats, the review bombing and the 3.4/10 Metacritic...

Funny thing is...none of the other FF couples had to be held to such a high standard to declare their relationship status in game, like it was some mandatory check box in a Canon form. Like, literally zero FF couples have had to say "We're boyfriend and girlfriend". "This person is the mother...

I'm not arguing that Tifa does all those this for Cloud, and yes, the translation does use word for word some of the things Cloud goes through regarding identity and self. And yes, perhaps the writer is breaking the 3rd wall to kind of hint hint nudge nudge the Lifestream event. But my take is...

Audrey has also posted translations to that interview here: This bit with the double asterisks above: Was translated to: I guess he just meant he just had to be careful that the side characters / side stories didn't become the main story, instead of Aerith and Tifa lol Interesting. I...

No, I get that. I get the whole TiYuna business with that audio novel thing was to just to create another crisis for them to work it out reinforce their love for another in an even more teary manner than X. And I get that so many people will be SO disappointed in the audio book, they'd buy X-3...

While @Eerie's take is incredibly charming...that Nojima's affection for Tifa and Aerith and wanting protect and clear the flak between his beloved girls was his driving motivator for CC...Nojima also wrote the audio drama released with the FFX remaster. He essentially broke Yuna and Tidus up...

Original Japanese release dates, if it helps anyone to put context around when and what was being said. Feel free to correct if there's anything wrong! KH: September 2002 Before Crisis: September 2004 AC: September 2005 Maiden Who Travels the Planet + Ultimania Omega: September 2005 KH 2...

Someone needs to put all these "Favorite LTD quotes by Nojima and Nomura" on a chronological timeline lol. Put down some ground rules to say that quotes that are 19 years old and have been overridden with new, more recent quotes and new launches cannot be used in debate anymore :lol: Thing...
