Bit of a late reply but this seems more likely to me. Similar to BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift. That series begins with one single timeline which continually loops. There are minor variations due to the laws of probability, but it always ends when an incident causes the...

It's the writing. The Compilation was written in a very mid 00s Japanese style. Remake is much more naturalistic, especially the English localization. So much so that it sounds like it was written by English writers first, rather than translated from a Japanese source. I think I'd chalk it up to...

Looks like the main game is very similar to the story mode in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, where you have a world map populated with locations, and each location has a series of quests that contain either story cutscenes, battles, or explorable dungeons. In FFBE the story is broken up into...

Felt like this might have caught on if they'd ported it to PC and consoles. The relatively high specs + genre / platform combo seems like it'd have really limited their maximum reach. Time to start archival. At least they gave a three month notice.

I feel like the flashes to a presumably younger Sephiroth are probably meant to be hinting at the storyline for THE FIRST SOLDIER that they said it'd include, since that's the only new storyline that they've indicated EVER CRISIS will feature. Project: 0 culminating with Sephiroth wiping out...

I'd like to see Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV rescued from the cutting room floor as part of Nanaki's character arc. Introducing Deneh too, of course. I want to see more named SOLDIERs. Rather than just having generic 1C Operators as enemies to fight, I'd like it if every 1C Operator is a named...

I think there's probably a good chance they'll add some sort of new content that hooks into Remake, even if only as something like an unlockable secret ending.

So, spoiler talk. In a nutshell:

As far as I'm concerned, Remake makes the OG feel almost entirely obsolete. But I might feel different when the full package is complete. The gameplay is just more engaging, and all the new material and worldbuilding makes the OG feel sparse to me, now.

Started the demo last night. I'm sure it's no Elden Ring (which I'm holding off on for now), but it's definitely really fun. The story is super disjointed, you can tell the cutscenes and NPC dialogue were created in a vacuum and just kind of tacked on. If not for the fact that the full game...

This game is fucking weird and stupid in the best way. I'm so on board. My rough plot predictions (spoilers for a 35-year-old game): Original (?) Timeline 2,000 years in the future, Chaos is on the verge of destroying the world. Jack, Jed, Ash, Neon, and Sophia use five crystals to travel...

This bump is a couple years old, but tying into that old explanation for what [ ν ] - εуλ probably means: Shinra Inc. / A New Era / Ever Forward / Reign Supreme So, yeah. A bit more evidence that it's probably meant to be [ "new" ] - era.

Season 2 preview illustration by Nomura hinting at the Dragoon Job: Still waiting for a PC version announcement...

Absolutely. It's not even close. Christian has so much more emotional range, Burton just sounds kind of bored.

Here's a wallpaper-sized version of the Season 1 key art from the press kit: It occurs to me that a lot of these assets can be reused, so we could see a bunch more variety in enemy soldiers in the future installments of Remake.

Hopefully a PC/console port happens in the near future, and the Bluestacks devs get it running soon in the meantime. Seems like it'll be a success right out of the gate, to me. They're already at 500k downloads on Google Play and, despite idiots review bombing it for just being a preload...

So there's the new variant of the SOLDIER emblem used on their pauldrons. A bit different from the standard Compilation version, and maybe a bit less abstracted as a result. Roughly this. I've always wondered if the symbol might have been based on a kanji, but now it really looks like it's...

Well, if anything were to get me to play a BR game, it'd be this. Love the premise, and from what I've heard the beta was actually pretty fun. Just kind of hope the customization is good. Doesn't run on my tablet but I'll try it out with Bluestacks, I guess. Don't know what to expect in terms...

That's how the dates were always formatted, going all the way back to the timeline video included on the International bonus disc in 1997, which eventually became the inspiration for Before Crisis. Here's a thread I made about that timeline a while back. They've never explained what the date...

I don't remember what all was shown in the TGS trailer, but here's the noticeable stuff I picked up on, starting with a concrete timeline: [ μ ] – εγλ 1977 President Shinra approves the top secret SOLDIER Project, beginning with Project: 0. [ μ ] – εγλ 1977–1984 Shinra scientists, including...
