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

    Out of context, "sure, why not?" doesn't reflect the same thing as "we're friends". In context however, I can definitely see what they were going for, which the key in understanding it is in Aerith's response, which is the whole point of this exchange to begin with. Cloud isn't saying "we're...

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    THAT part is in the ENG trailer: "So focus on the future, not the past". In terms of meaning, the ENG trailer doesn't actually stray that much.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Lmao Yeah, I also like the grilling here—it's probably the most direct conversation that Nomura could have with the fanbase without actually talking to them. It includes the follow up too. It's still funny to me, because I always stand by the fact that the Compilation itself beget a Remake...

    I do rather enjoy the things said in this interview:

    So where do we stand on the big remake mystery now?

    Mostly that's how I feel. I think I've said it before, maybe in another thread, that the actual telling of the core themes in the OG, i.e. the scenes that represent those things with strong impact, haven't happened yet, and as Golden pointed out, there isn't evidence that stuff WON'T still...

    So where do we stand on the big remake mystery now?

    There are different lines of thoughts, I'd say. "The Remake deviates from core themes and events"—for the events, in a literal sense this is true. One doesn't need to do a scene by scene comparison to know this. But for core themes—are we comparing the core themes introduced in OG's Midgar to...

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Haha I'll take "nothing to do with the themes of the OG" as something not meant to be literal, though I think there's something equally as unproductive and impractical with the use of staying 'true/faithful' that is also stubbornly buzzing around on all subjects. My initial thought, it's an...

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    For some reason, my brain literally read "chain of events" as "chain of memories" XD How fitting for whatever Cloud is going through here. Maybe Naminé has world hopped into 7 and is in cahoots with Jenova.

    Oh, there it is. It's starting again. The theory craze. This'll last until next winter I hope.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Wait huh? Wouldn't 5 years ago be during the Nibelheim Incident, so it'd be a location relevant to before the escape? But yeah, I'd imagine it's either the rebuilt town Cloud is referring to, or it could be the Shinra Manor too. Both come across in the OG.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Yeah, honestly the JPN confuses me because I'm trying to think of what scenario Cloud is able to say this. Which I'd think "five years ago" is a hint at Nibelheim, but for him to even be talking about Zack, he should know what happened. Unless the "five years" and "Zack" are from two different...

    @TurquoiseHammer also posted a JPN translation of the Rebirth trailer, incase anyone is wondering. The 2nd one is the updated version.

    I just love Kojima's relevant response XD

    FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

    To be fair, it's not quite over-the-shoulder all the time, which I associate more with the Mass Effect series that I played like crazy. It's one of the reasons it took me awhile to get use to the new God of War, where it went from that "open" feel of the original trilogy to that of the fixed...

    Final Fantasy XIII Spoiler Thread (SPOILERS)

    Ah XIII, I'm always glad to see people still talking about it. I think I've seen more varying degrees of feelings for this series more than I have even for the Kingdom Hearts or Mass Effect series. Deep hatred to willful acceptance/love. This game is one of the only reasons to keep my PS3...

    My take on why Rinoa is Ultimecia and what to make of the ending

    Haha To be fair, a person's words, notably that of a creator, can still be evidence in and of itself—besides the outlier of times where there's something misspoken or later proven to change from an interview. But, I think Lestat's point is that as far as evidence goes, your overall conclusion...

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    My only issue with this (or with people) is that Biggs' response is secondary. There's Cloud's reaction—coupled with a dramatic zoom in on his face with his somewhat aggressive refusal—then there's Biggs' reaction. That is, the reference doesn't rely on Biggs' response to Cloud's reaction, but...

    Man of Steel / Justice League / DC films

    Yeah I feel for the people that it's a long runtime. I'm a content-guy so I was always want more and never want the ride to stop XD But, that state of being is easier when I'm in the comfort of my home and have a pause button—people with small bladders beware, DO NOT get that Icee. lol But...
