I took the "The Unknown Journey Will Continue" ending card as a very clear sign that all bets are off with regard to big plot adjustments.

Shame about no launch day patch to address the couple of technical issues the game has. Can only hope Square have been listening and get something out to improve things, though given that the Shinjuku offices are now WFH, we might need to wait a bit longer for it.

I'm at a weird point where whilst I didn't necessarily like Chapter 18 or the manner in which things were portrayed, I am interested in where they take things from here. They clearly have a good grasp on how to portray the look and feel of the world and characters, so I've no concerns about...

Went and stuck an order down for Tifa, I'll probably end up getting Aeris as well though. I really did love all of them for the vast majority of the game so I'd regret not having them properly represented on my shelves.

If they hold true to this, I could see them pulling something where the party becomes aware she's going to die in the City via the Whispers, then subsequently somehow defy that fate, only for her to die regardless at another point as her death is necessary in all versions of events in order for...

Cleared the game a couple of hours ago. I think I'm more into the idea of what they're trying to do with the whole "fate isn't set in stone" thing than the portrayal of it in the game itself. I'm particularly not a huge fan of the Whispers being tangible and physically forcing things to proceed...

I'm sure I recall an interview with Nomura from some time in 2015 where he mentioned he was finishing designing Pres. Shinra at the time, but given that Ferrari did Rufus and the rest of the Shinra brass, it's perhaps safe to assume he also did the final design for Pres. Shinra as well? Seems...

Have to agree, really not a fan of the evacuation of the Sector 7 slums, as morbid as that sounds, and it's the named NPCs that are the problem. They're your point of reference for effectively the entire population of the slums, so them surviving kind of makes it seem like the plate drop was...

I'd take Gilbert for Cait Sith over what we got in the Compilation any day, for sure.

Hot damn, the full choral version of Those Chosen By the Planet that pops in this chapter has to be my favourite track of the OST so far.

Echoing the sentiment about the Aerith scene, was very touching and hit me in a way I didn't expect (the game has been surprisingly good at that so far). I think maybe Tifa straight up just kicking the chapter endboss into oblivion was a little silly and anticlimactic, but otherwise yeah good...

Rude using fireworks bombs was a great little nod to AC, really enjoyed that.

Encouraging that Ferrari has officially taken on the mantle of Master of Belts.

I don't think it's a particularly big leap of logic for people to expect a launch day patch really. Fair enough if it doesn't happen since like the guy says, Square have never said there's one coming, but most AAA games have some kind of download on release day.

Yeah I'm fairly certain Tifa's dress depends on the Alone at Last event you get for completing all the Chapter 3 sidequests. Tifa asks Cloud to go out for a night on the town at some point and asks what kind of dress she should wear. You get 3 options and the one I went for (something exotic)...

The combat got pretty challenging for me in this chapter at a few points - Aps was formidable enough, but the jump attack the Sahagins use screwed me over quite a bit. Got a bit easier after realising that Amplify really does just work exactly like All did and pairs with party magic, so I had...

Regarding the length: [/spoiler]

I would let Johnny call me bro.

Yeah, gotta admit I was a bit concerned regarding this when I first got to Sector 7, but like you say the town areas are there to give the player a breather and to amass some equipment/materia at their leisure. The quests at least do have some nice world building in them for the most part...

The music for the spirits/phantoms/Watchmen of Fate/spooky ghosts is fantastic, kinda got the same feel as Divinity I from AC I think. Foreboding, implying immiment chaos, that kinda thing.
