I gotta, I even prefer some EN things too. Aerith saying "shit" is goddamn perfect, and completely encapsules Aerith's snarky attitude from a girl from the slums. Reno saying "Nothing personal, bitch!" is also goddamn incredible. It is such a Reno thing to say, of course it became personal to...

Theoretically, he is refering to the situation he took Cloud and the gang to - the world 7 seconds before Meteor hits aka the end. There are a lot of nuances and implications behind it tho.

But Aerith doesnt need to die, does she? Atleast in the original, it is a massively discussed plot point which as far as I'm aware, reaches the conclusion that Aerith's death wasnt a necessity. It's the epitome of one of the Original's themes, dealing with unexpected death.

I actually dont know about that. I've seen a lot, like...a lot of people outright calling this game a masterpiece because of their feelings of expectation being delivered. It's almost like they dont even care about the ending, because the game just completely delivered in other regards.

Ehh, I dont know about that. The whole point of this fight is that its different from the final fight of the original game. You are fighting crazy, insane, Sephiroth that even uses spells like Thundaga. It's the one thing we never did in the original and gains some points because of that I...

lmao nah it's okay. I just thought it was some new cross game reference. But yeah, their designs arent the brightest of bulbs

Wait, what other Nomura game has those? Now I'm interested

Yeah, but thats the point. Even by "censoring" a lot of the original, it still got into a "high" rating than other FF. The executives probably didnt want to push the edge any more than that. They like that sweet T-Rated money

I wonder if ratings also made a change to the President Shinra's death. I'm pretty sure it did, since in the Remake, Shinra is stabbed with apparently a ghost mist sword. Like I get the sentiment but it honestly made me laugh a bit when Sephiroth killed and freaking gray mist comes out.

6. is throughout the whole game, and it honestly irks me a bit. Like, at Chapter 4, Cloud literally jumps from a bike to Roche and then goes back. But at Chapter 6 he cant jump a gap between two platforms?

Chapter 17 desperately needs playable Red. The Drum is the perfect place for a starting character, it's clearly meant for him. And also Arsenal, which was a sour end for the Chapter for me.

idk if they wanted a cheap surprise. I think it was just to show that Sephiroth didnt give two shits to anything. I mean, he stabbed Shinra and he would just leave Barret there? The moment focuses more on Sephiroth than anyone else. He is the main star piece of that scene. Also, didnt think...

It's a very loose sequel, at best. It's not like having played the original/compilation gave us an "edge" about it. The few moments where that knowledge was actually a difference maker were very brief, and the game even offers an explanation of it. It's much more of a "metanarrative" than a sequel.

Isnt that Chapter 11 tho?

Worst case scenario, just tell them to end the game at Motorball. Bam, 95% faithful. But yeah, thinking from a financial point of view, FFVIIR isnt a bad 60$ spent. I mean, RE3 also had a, not as much but still, controversial ending and that thing only gave us 5 freaking hours of gameplay...

Eh, I get why they did that. I dont super enjoy it, but the original didnt really do a superb job of laying out the mystery. There are still people who dont get the whole Zack-Nibelheim deal, so I think they are making it easier.

Hahahah..........if only people could do just that.

Roche would be anticlimatic too imo. The problem of the Whisper part is that it's too jarring. It feels like there is a missing piece between the end of the roadway and they actually agreeing to go fight whatever is inside the Singularity. I think it all plays out like that due to rushed state...

That's my line of thinking too. Aerith's final remark "I miss the steel sky...", is almost one of regret. Cloud unknowingly passing through the imagery of Zack without caring is sort of....sad. Almost tragic. It is a very clear departure from the happiness of Biggs alive and all that.

As a gameplay segment, it is about 50/50. Not gonna lie, that Sephiroth fight was pretty good. I actually would have taken away the Whisper part, because that was bad gameplay wise and story wise. It was too much of a jarring difference of context considering 15mins ago, you were fighting a...
