    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    All this. And has anyone thought about the whole angle of...the financial perspective, which I think trumps all? :P:P:P Garnet's most character defining moment (hair cut) almost didn't make it...because field modelers didn't want to have to make a short hair model and a long hair model. I'm...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    IDK, just looking at that quote, it seems like the interviewer / asker, SPOKE about Zack first that lead to that response. Kitase's response wasn't unbidden. If he had asked "What is the song about here?" and Kitase goes, "Well Cloud and Zack were close..." Then yes. Clear indication. It was...

    Same. I'm still trying to guess how much of the content of the novel will be in Remake Part 2 itself, since I feel the book is essentially a spoiler-free teaser for the next part. If Part 2 stops at the Northern Crater or Aerith's death as most people think it will, and Part 2 is estimated to...

    Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion

    Just reading both the translations side by side makes me feel that Stanley just isn't as well trained in Japanese colloquialism as @odekopeko . Especially when he translates conversation, the characters are talking in a very literal...almost academic manner. As much as he probably has his...

    Lol, well, if I were a mad scientist (or any scientist for that matter) backed by millions of funding, I really wouldn't wait patiently till my red list, extinct in-the-wild specimen happily finds a mate at her own timing...and gets pregnant naturally and which could put her out of commission...

    I wondered about this too. Why did they suddenly decide it was important to have her back at that very moment, whey they didn't care about her the last few years? My answers were: 1. Was it getting urgent to "find the Promised Land" because all that reliance on Mako was getting unsustainable...

    Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion

    I'm not sure if it it's a spoiler, but from what I gleaned: Elmyra is later shown to be really protective to the point being controlling of Aerith, and Aerith runs away from home, intending to stay in the church. She bumps into Fuzz, who tries to cajole Aerith into staying with him instead...

    Trace of Two Pasts novel discussion

    Google says the Remake Ultimania says Biggs is 25. I think there are some sources that say Aerith is 13 when she starts working / volunteering at the Leaf House, that would make him...16? Which is pretty young, but Zidane was 16 and Tidus was 17 when they saved the world, so...maybe just FF's...

    Whelp. That turned dark pretty fast. All the happy pappy images of Ms. Folia and Aerith's flower mural replaced instead with...kid trafficking. Think there was a speculation on that a few pages back and.... ...and so it seems then that Biggs is the one who turned the Leaf house around, then...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    It's on the boat to Junon that she's thinking this right? About...a week after meeting Cloud and co? Video games have different rules, but I know if my friend told me she was thinking about this man a week after she met him, he looks kinda like her ex, and he could be the father of her unborn...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Eek. I'm sorry! Err...I don't think that was the case at all. It's not like they sat down and said, hey, we've been married for a while and IVF isn't working out for us. Lets go pick out a child from the Leaf Orphanage. :mon: Marlene was literally just handed over to them from Barret. Denzel...

    Faith v. 3.0 (Cloti Club)

    I doubt they'd do that, since these OG scenes 1) the girls get catty in Don Corneo's cellar 2) Shinra tower where Tifa gets jealous while Cloud and Aerith talk about their date were taken out. But the "Tifa deserves better" also gives me mixed feelings about ToTP too. If SE's goal was to build...

    Faith v. 3.0 (Cloti Club)

    And it still cracks me up to this day that Cloud's response to that was "dotdotdot" So what do the good people at Faith think about what's going to happen in FF7R Part 2 given what we know about Trace of Two Pasts? The more I look at it, the more I feel the dozens of pages dedicated to Tifa's...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    And I STILL don't understand why the affection mechanics of FF7R are being hotly debated. FF's affection mechanics are the most inane thing ever - I also found out that praying in X affects Wakka / Lulu / Yuna's affection. And here I was thinking that I should "pray" in each temple to be polite...

    Thanks @odekopeko and @Eerie for taking a stab at the Tifa novel. I realize I made some mistakes (i.e. Aerith doesn't know what a picnic is) from loose translations, and it seems that she does! :) Rona as a name is.... :huh: It makes sense now that their house is so lavish, for some place in...

    What exactly is the feedback or is it twitter chatter? Are there reviews on official sites? I cannot imagine it being more hated than FFX 2.5's Eien no Daishō, cos the Japanese folk really DESPISED that one. I saw a couple of one star reviews for Trace of Two Pasts on Amazon.jp, but it was...

    The nostalgia factor for FF7 is probably a big one. I still cry every time I see Mufasa fall off that cliff in the original. But I look at Lion King remake as an adult and think "National Geographic - The 2-hour Africa special, featuring Beyonce" lol.

    Who are these "people"? Is this just a small part of the fandom though, who have just...proven to dislike the "other girl" for the sake of their own preferred character? Anyway, my current thoughts after going through both the Aerith and Tifa bits in the book, (as well as remake) is that SE...

    Faith v. 3.0 (Cloti Club)

    I remember being around for the golden age of Koi space bito, but I can barely remembered what triggered it. Was it AC, where Tifa was referred to as koi space bito, and people argued that it didn't mean girlfriend or lover? I only remember the many pages in Faith and Devotion that were used to...

    Faith v. 3.0 (Cloti Club)

    It feels like the sector 7 part of FF7R now just a giant throwback to the novels. You have Cloud and Tifa being actual neighbors in Stargazer Heights, they spend their running around chasing cats just like they did in childhood, you have an awkward kind-of-a-date moment (FF7R = the convo in her...
