    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    I guess I am that source, seeing as I translated the exchange and most of the newsoutlets link to my post - but by god, I'm pretty sure I distinctly wrote this was a joke which Hamaguchi immediately called out as such. Can people please learn to fetching read? God damn clickbait news morons.

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    I don't think the remake soundtrack will sound anything like Advent Children. As far as I can tell, and piece together from my conversations with the guy, Advent Children was worked on with the Black Mages musicians, and was directed specifically that way to suite the more fast-paced action...

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    Man, I'm happy about this. I felt that Uematsu had a bit of a dip after the PS2 era trying to adjust to modern HD equipment, mastering and production, but he's been absolutely killing it with his new OST works on Terra Battle 1 and 2, and if they're anything to go by, the remake's soundtrack...

    Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

    Also, I just want to fly this by you people, as I shared this with Chip earlier on discord - - Around the period shortly prior to Kitase and Hashimoto being raised to management, Sakaguchi and Nomura made an interview with Famitsu where they discussed their history and expressed a desire to...

    Final Fantasy 30th Exhibition - Panel Audio

    Okay, listening to it now. We'll see how much of a job it will be to translate, but I'll try. I'll add some general commentary in this post as I go along. EDIT : Okay, so I'm just listening through before doing the translation but already some interesting stuff - They're talking about...

    The Potential of Disorienting Game Techniques in the FFVII Remake

    Sure. I'm speaking in princple, and I think the principle still applies - Whatever confusion and puzzle element this kind of image invokes, is totally lost when you're in full 3D, and can use the camera manually to gauge your own position relative to where you want to go.

    The Potential of Disorienting Game Techniques in the FFVII Remake

    That's the thing though - The temple of ancient's impossible geometry does't apply to its corridored spaces. It only really applies to the open space, where the problem thus, also still applies. The example from the movie Inception is not a demonstration of this working in 3D space, because...

    The Potential of Disorienting Game Techniques in the FFVII Remake

    The forest thing is pretty easy to achieve by simply having a looping map, and using fog to mask the obvious nature of it. Have the map be a spheroid, use a lot of trees and underbrush, and put a heavy fog in it prevent players from seeing too far ahead. I'm actually more worried about the...

    JENOVA's identity as a female organism...

    I always took Jenova's shape as a female to just be reflective of the last human/cetra form infected by "the virus". With Jenova being tied to The Thing in terms of how it was conceived, I always imagned Jenova was basically just a bunch of cells in the first place - like a virus - whose...

    I see Aerith in that church image. Also, hope Cloud's redesign is more consistent with the anime-look of the Avalanche members. I remember, even watching the trailer for the first time, that I found Cloud's overly realistic face to look horribly inconsistent with the more anime-esque features...

    Sephiroth's Swordsmanship: How legit is it?

    Sephiroth's basic stance in the actual game is actually a lazy version of a conventional Kenjutsu stance. It goes by different names in various schools - The most common one is kasumi no kamae, or as you can see below as is in the case of Katori Ryu, Te ura gasumi. As for the way he...

    I guess my point is that humans don't have a single "true nature". Ultimately, your points here fall into the "how I percieve you" category of characterization, which is informed by your personal background. Cloud could be a character consisting of act A, B, C, and personality trait X, Y and Z...

    Cloud's personality is pretty maliable up until the point you fixes his memories. There's relatively decent room for people to play and project their own personality, and it was personally something I really enjoyed about the original, and also why I loath discussions about what is supposedly...

    New Face Of Cloud Potentially Found

    New Face Of Cloud Potentially Found

    I highly doubt that's it. Looks like straight up AC Cloud model with a Soldier outfit. More likely, this was the model they planned on using before Nomura decided the AC models wouldn't do quality-wise for the remake. After all, they're on record saying that was the first thing they considered...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    It's a possible route to be sure - I'm just saying, again pacing myself, not something people should be expecting. FFVIIR, I highly likely to be as different from the original game, as it is different from the compilation. And, IMO, that's probably a good thing. Forcing the remake to be...

    Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

    I think "huge" is pretty relative, especially in the context of what you're talking about here - "vocal minorities" and all that. Fans that go as far as writing/reading/even caring about fan-fiction and character pairings are a huge minority of any community of people following fiction in the...
