I wanted to make a separate post for this because it seems significant. Just adding more context to Audrey's translation, which wasn't inaccurate or wrong or anything, but could have been even clearer in my opinion. Q: この場面に登場したセフィロスと、CHAPTER...

Sorry for double post. Here's another one I'll edit with little notes. -A character artist very explicitly confirms everyone's deduction the the Diabolic Creation, or Heretic Rayleigh, is indeed the scientist Rayleigh after being turned into an enemy [monster]. Unless there are two Doctor...

It's funny, I hadn't thought about how the Weiss cutscene has to be party member–agnostic. Otherwise there probably would have been some back and forth between him and Cloud.

Some Deepground-related stuff for Mako. First Weiss, then Nero. There isn't really any lore in it. Also correct me if the names are wrong. Weiss: レベルデザインスーパーバイザー：大地雅俊...

Finally came in the mail! I'll post anything interesting that I haven't seen other people point out yet. The watch on President Shinra's left wrist reads "10:08:25." Part 2 release date confirmed. Edit: I guess I'll just edit this post so I don't clutter up the thread. -A note from the level...

Oh I know, I was saying that in an "I'm looking forward to the Remake continuity" kind of way.

I have to imagine each and every party member will have an integral part to play in Remake. I highly doubt they'll let Yuffie and Vincent blend into the background this time around, nor the Turks, for that matter.

But she touches the whispers, which according to the most recent Ultimania interview is enough to let *important* characters see them.

My jab about Yuffie not seeing them was really just a joke. I don't think we're supposed to make any serious conclusions based on that Easter egg. Obviously she is as important as Biggs, Jessie, and Wedge to the story.... right?

It essentially said the two prerequisites for being able to see them are a) touching them and b) being important to the flow of the planet's destiny. Toriyama says Cloud is able to see them when he touches the whispers themselves, not when he touches Aerith, although the cinematic focus in that...

You know I just realized, in Intermission, if you try to enter Seventh Heaven, the whispers will push you away. Yet even after being touched by them, Yuffie can't see them. If we take Toriyama's response about who can see the whispers to its logical conclusion, then it would appear Yuffie isn't...

If we weren't all extremely into opening cans of worms, we wouldn't be here! :lol:

I think that's one possible interpretation (and it seems like half the translations in this thread have made it), but based on how you assess the context, and of course based on your own personal theories about where the story is going with alternate universes and time travel and stuff like...

Again, I don't think he's suddenly talking about a different game. I think he's talking about Remake in the context of the greater FFVII series. The text is what it is—I'm not trying to say there's some hidden message in the Japanese that isn't translating into English. I'm just giving my guess...

I don't think he's specifically talking about the OG story; I think he's talking about the overarching story of the series, including the OG, the compilation, and Remake. My impression is that he wants to assure readers this theme of "loss" that undergirds all of the series entries will be...

I said something similar to this a page or two ago so sorry if it's mostly a repeat. But I think when Toriyama received the question he sort of had a gut reaction to assure fans that loss is still an important part of the FFVII franchise, and that the writers aren't just saving characters...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record... I think there can still be ambiguity even if you assume Toriyama is talking about the greater story of the FFVII franchise. (I actually think he is, even if he doesn't explicitly say so.) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe @Cae Lumis 's...

If they had the novella professionally translated, they should share that with the rest of the fans!

I think the contention over whether Sephiroth's reversion to "ore" reflects a genuine shift in his personality and motivations, or whether its just another layer of manipulation in his plan to use Cloud, is going to persist a long time. It's easy to interpret one way or the other and pack neatly...

I don't think we actually get any clear cut lines from the clones though, do we? Aside from grunting and "reuuuunioon." The Chapter 17 line is during a scene where there is both an illusion only Cloud is seeing and a black robe the whole party is seeing.
