Q: What sort of message were you trying to convey by having Aerith speak the lines “You mustn’t fall in love with me. Even if it seems you have, it isn’t real”? [Toriyama's] A: Aerith herself is physically detained inside the Shinra Building at this point in time. The figure that shows up...

Thank youuu for transcribing this! Just to confirm, is this the official English localization from the recently released Material Ultimania? If so, I'm happy to see "calamity from the skies" again instead of "cataclysm from the stars," which is used in the main game and I can't say I love.

You're right, it wouldn't be possible to mod unless you also modded in a trigger when walking between them to change the asset. Which maybe wouldn't be too hard, but because there is no loading corridor when you take the open-air route, it would be very ugly and jarring.

Definitely a mistake, albeit one I'm sure SE was aware of and decided to keep. Considering our first view of the skybox is from Aerith's church, all the way on the "east" side of the sector, the plate position is clearly off.

Has anyone done a skybox fix mod shifting all the plates and reactors clockwise, or is the "skybox" all one asset that will need to be replaced once that's possible?

Looks like the localized Material Ultimanias are starting to ship. Seen a few screenshots on Twitter and they look great. Excited for the lore discussions to reopen. Anyone got one?

Lmao some of the auto translates are comparably funny to the Japanese. Are these files only present in the PC file structure because of the accidental dev build release? Also excited to see what else can be unearthed. Show me Kwedge! Edit: According to the OP, these files also exist in the...

Yuffie up!

Wasn't sure where to post this. Some funny debug dialogue extracted from the PC version.

This is addressed in Game Maestro, Vol. 4 (Designer/Illustrator Edition), May 18, 2001. The interviewer asks about the theme of death in FFVII, mentioning Aerith being killed by Sephiroth. Nomura responds saying he got lots of people who thought he was the one who came up with the scenario where...
