I really think too much of a deal is being made out of Zack surviving and Clouds story being derailed or fundamentally changed. Two timelines are not needed to preserve Clouds story. I have an issue with this being a thing, because I don't think its a thing. Here, I can solve this now... Zack...

I really wasn't thinking anything along those lines though. Cloud isn't exactly in a good state in that closing scene in Remake so I think its entirely plusible for Cloud to be on similar terms on arriving at Midgar. They're what, an hour or twos walk away. I don't think Cloud was about to...

I think part of the issue with CC was the "missions" and yeah, narrative quality was mixed, and some missed opportunities. I enjoyed it overall though, of all the Compilation works it was probably my favourite. I have a soft spot for it. I agree that you can feel its influences in Remake...

Maybe, it makes sense from a marketing perspective for sure. If they want to push AC to a new generation. But, I still feel like the setup of Remake will at the very least cause a time loop if something doesn't remove Sephiroth from the picture completely. My feeling is that Remake will close...

BIB: Exactly, thats precisely where I'm coming from and my overall point was that this is how languages work and how we deal with them. Yes, its 4th wall breaking just like it was for us. Japanese players were talking about the meta narrative too. So that was there. As for how cryptic it...

I don't think Cloud needs see anyone before Tifa even if Zack got him to Midgar and handed the buster sword there. Technically speaking, there is mixed canon about this anyway. Such as Zack telling Cloud he is his living legacy... Cloud is technically awake then. So, I don't see how this would...

I'm not sure how to put this without sounding really dismissive of someone, and I'm going to go off at a tangent, but there is a purpose to it, so... The official English translation is very well directed, they certainly know the script, the intents of the characters, the situations, and...

You spoiled him! ??? Okay, fair enough. However, I would point out that its the interviewer who said that, not Kitase, I assume interpreting the original Famitsu article a certain way? Functionally, whether Remake exists in OG's continuity or not, I think Remake shares its content as though...

Boom, boom, tish

Just to point a thing out. Other than Biggs, Wedge and Jessie, name some OG characters who died during Plate Fall you cared about, who had any substance beyond a few random lines. A Marle or Betty. There were some named characters who either did die, or likely died during Plate Fall in Remake...

I agree, IX is one of my favourites. There is something charming about it.

You have not reached the pinnacle of Hell House yet... Now... Solo it with Cloud... then... with Aerith :D Not done this myself but have done some of the summons and things with Tifa or Aerith. I suspect Aerith would be the easier for Hell House.

It might be worth pointing out that I treat Remake as though it were a film adaptation of a novel where we've been told "this is an adapatation with a twist, and that will not be exactly the same as the novel". Because, whether Remake exists within OG's continuity or not, I think thats...

This caught me out completely. I wish they had implemented difficulties more like Tales of though. Easy, Normal, Moderate, Hard, Hard+/Extreme for post game. I felt easy was ridiculous, Normal was erratic but generally too easy and Hard was... I wanted something in between for the first...

I think stuff like President Shinra or presentation stuff like the music during Plate Fall is swings and roundabouts. Some people prefer the cinematic presentation of Remake, others prefer the presentation of OG. President Shinra, maybe because we were expecting a certain thing, it lost impact...

I have a Zack theory and I think this might back up a single timeline. Zack arrives with Cloud at or near Midgar, some event occurs that leads to Cloud obtaining the Buster Sword and meeting Tifa - setting Clouds ball rolling. The "some event": I'm punting on it involving Deepground and/or...

I think this is interesting, and while not necesarilly the thing, something treading these lines being the concept. How so? Zack can still hand Cloud the Buster Sword, Cloud and Avalanche still end up teamed up, platefall still occurs. But, changes amongst those events occur. Theoretically...

That would be cool I still consider time loops to be a possibility and its my preferred direction. Yes, exactly. Things will only be changed to the extent they want them changed, so even if the past is rewritten it doesnt mean everything has to be different, it'll be whatever they choose to...

Change doesn't have to be a radical change. But stuff has changed, what that stuff is and who it affects is yet to be seen. I'm going to hazard a guess and say yes, it certainly implied they sensed each other in that moment, and she didn't seem happy. I'm going to get to this in a moment...

Exactly, the same time or place could be different dimensions or different time periods. Yes, and its very ambiguous, this is my entire point. You're taking it to mean one particular thing, I'm arguing it could mean several things. The only thing it does clearly is to exclude a silly thing. I...
