That topographical world map is amazing! Looks like those are the 3D renders from the Ultimania, not polygonal models, which according to the battle team were never created. Edit: I asked and evidently they were taken from the gallery on the fourth disc of the International version.

I really couldn't say anything yet with certainty. I think there's intentional ambiguity about whether he's converted to a more righteous cause or whether he's still trying to achieve his original evil objective. I don't have a particular hardline stance either way, though you can find people...

Wow, that sure looks different from what we see in game. I wonder why they changed it By the way, the first Material Ultimania is coming out in December right? Looking forward to what people can pick apart from it. Will lmao if wing is plural and Sephiroth now has two wings, each represented by...

I'd be happy to take a look at the Material Ultimania ones but I don't own the book or have scans, unfortunately. I did do a second translation of the Aeris resolution scene Q&A which you can find a few pages back on the hyperlinked list. I'll check out the highway script a little later and let...

Hadrian_x_Antinous over in Reddit posted these fan translations of the Mind entries they found floating around somewhere. These were the ones I bulleted interesting bits of in an earlier post. A very fun read! Edit: It looks like it's missing all the chapters not pertaining to Cloud's romances...

Actually I don't know why I didn't do this earlier but I checked and the script is not the same. I just assumed because... bad memory :') I agree, I think they'll be pretty loose with the presentation. I think they'll even skip large segments or make them on-rails. Long combat-less sequences...

I agree that piece of dialogue got "stranded," especially in the English version where it makes no sense because the activation phrase is translated differently later. But I don't see how that negates it as evidence that Ever Crisis will match the OG continuity. Also, making Ever Crisis a demake...

I think what gave me the impression that Ever Crisis would follow the original continuity was the very meticulous 1:1 presentation of it, from the field screens and camera angles to the actual text itself. For instance, in Remake Cloud doesn't hear Sephiroth's voice in Reactor 1, he only sees...

I distinctly remember an interview with Nomura where he said each compilation game will have it's own chapter (with sub-chapters). I can't find that interview but maybe that was where the interpretation that they would release in parallel came from. I do have the interview where he says the...

Yep, he says the three SOLDIERs we see jumping out of the helicopter will be named (i.e., significant, non-throwaway) characters whose stories are covered in Ever Crisis. Makes me wonder what other totally new content will get dropped in that game.

Ironic that the characters who didn't look familiar turn out to be the ones who will get names, while "Sephiroth" and "Angeal" were just stock models. Time to start guessing who they are and if they're still around during Remake.

Lmao Nomura must feel like he can never make two characters look similar without touching off an avalanche of theorizing. Should have given him purple hair and three eyes if you didn't want us to think it was Sephiroth! Also, I'm very on board with the idea that #2 will be in this game as a...

Now that I think about it, in the last clip where Hojo is holding the gun, it's from Gast's POV, so he was probably holding the camera instead of it being wall mounted like in the OG. Considering Gast is missing from all the other shots with Hojo, Hollander, Lucretia, etc., maybe we're seeing...

Now in my 30s myself I'd appreciate it if more characters took breaks to ice their arthritic joints and stuff. @Obsidian Fire pointed out that Gillian can also be seen from behind talking to Hollander.

Interestingly, the CC Ultimania and CCCG say Sephiroth is "roughly 25" and "mid-20s" (respectively) at his first appearance in Crisis Core, which is at Fort Tamblin in late 2000. Let's assume "roughly 25" means 23-27. That would mean Sephiroth is somewhere between 29 and 34 as of the beginning...

Thanks, I was more asking where eveyone's assumption that that game would be set 30 years ago came from, and although I could have sworn it was in the release, I guess that conclusion was drawn solely from the first shot of the trailer.

So did the press releases actually never specify that the game was set 30 years ago? We just assumed because of the trailer intro? When in fact it's only 18 years ago? Or am I misunderstanding? Question mark?

Is there anything in Remake so far that rules out the possibility of them changing Sephiroth's age to more like 35? That would also move Jenova's discovery and everyone's weird research programs back 5 to 10 years so it would have quite the ripple effect. We already have Rufus being made 5 years...

So it looks like it takes place, at least initially, in 1989, four years after the retconned beginning of the Wutai War. Sephiroth could be anywhere from 7 to 12, though probably like 8 or 9 based on Dirge. Seems like a no brainer that he'll show up in the game eventually but I'm not convinced...

On a similar note, a while back a Reddit user named Green_Medium_3860 linked a Google doc with a dump of all the staff comments and most of the voice script. They used OCR to transcribe and DeepL to machine translate, so the transcriptions may have some small errors and the translations should...
