    The Jenova Project: Remake

    I am not sure see how adding Zack to the scene adds anything in terms of understanding on par of the player? The scene is optional for one, and once most people get access to it, they'll already have learned of the process that goes into creating SOLDIER. It still raises (and doesn't explain)...

    The Jenova Project: Remake

    I have theorized this is another spot where the writers momentarily forgot their own plot. Having looked at the writing, I feel fairly certain that originally the plan was for Jenova cells to only have been used on Sephiroth and the numbered "clones" - not on the other SOLDIERs, who were only...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    It's another thing that's unclear. As mentioned, there's the scratched glass, but I have trouble seeing how they could have been communicating verbally given that they're inside glass-tubes filled with mako. The very fact that they scratched the glass seems to indicate a difficulty to...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    That's not entirely true. After all, in Cloud's original accounting of the Nibelheim incident, he recalls moments from inside the reactor between Zack and Sephiroth when he should have been outside guarding it, and as far as we know these are accurate (or at least the game treats it as such)...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    I agree with this take. I was only working off of what the other poster was saying. To be honest I had no recollection of that specific "factlet". My point was merely that any inconsistency easily spotted between OG FFVII and CC is a lot more likely to simply be a plot-hole resulting from what...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    Gotta say I'm leaning towards what TWM is saying here. Aerith seemed to have plenty of spirit even as a wee little kid in the OG, with Elmyra's dialogue attesting to this (hey, she even steps over to Elmyra, her adopted mother of not a very long period of time and informs here very matter of...

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    Well, they've been upfront about the fact that the remake won't be in the same continuity as the compilation, but the trailers we've had so far also clearly show the remake to be going in a different direction than the original game, although to what degree we can only guess. So, as I've said...

    New Images from FFVII VR Express

    I agree that the original remake render does that. I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the mo-cap model.

    New Images from FFVII VR Express

    It's very hard to judge what his face will actually look like by that picture given the lack effects, but personally I think he looks both younger and more striking than his other models in other media. The sharp brows from his original character art and anime design is back, and the eyes seem...

    New Images from FFVII VR Express

    Yeah, I guess you could put it like that. Have a look at this page and the video/images there and see the difference between the rig model and the final render, and it should give you a good idea of how this works http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/mathilda-rig-free-maya-rig-female-character-rig/...

    New Images from FFVII VR Express

    Actually, having listened to the video now it's fairly clear to me these are pictures featuring assets being used in the remake. In the very video you guys posted, the person doing the presentation explains the role of Visual Works as a company as a lead up to the Densha De Go promo portion...

    Did I just imagine this official quote about Zack and Aerith?

    It's also worth mentioning that in the original Aerith doesn't speak as if she ever dated Zack. She speaks as if she had a passing interest in him. Whether this is her just being careful cause she's plying Cloud or whether it's the honest truth is hard to say. But given Zack's attitude and what...

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    Man, I'd bid on those, but the only credit/debit card I have is Norwegian, and not the card I have my salary wired to, so I don't have the means. This one if fairly cheap, and should be easy to win https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h318289107 (not as cheap, but not totally crazy...

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    The dude who owns the pamphlet is out on travels and therefore could not provide a picture. I don't think he's lying, but I am kinda baffled by the lack of people willing to provide photographic evidence of the full quote.

    Cloud's loss in the remake - Cloud's mother

    I'll reiterate a thought I've made multiple times before - Cloud being 100% is not really a thing, especially within the context of the original game's lore. Cloud replaces his role with Zack within the context of the flash-back, but generally Cloud is merely acting out what he thinks is the...

    Cloud's loss in the remake - Cloud's mother

    Yeah, and to address some of the points raised here - I think, as I was trying to illustrate, is that my concern here is for writing in terms of execution on the themes of the game. Of course, you can find justifications, intended for by the author or not (though I tend to chalk these kind of...

    Cloud's loss in the remake - Cloud's mother

    Being one of those sad people who replay FFVII on a near annual basis, I constantly find myself coming across set-ups in the story that either lead nowhere or get totally lost in favor of focus on the game's primary themes and story beats - however, on rare occasion I spot plot points or lore...

    Well, as long as the primary sources are transparent and correct, we can at least wash our hands of any claim of having spread misinformation.
