    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    I agree, and this is why I hope they commit to what they allude to, and do something interesting with them - otherwise it becomes really transparent that it was all just to create hype. It becomes quite anticlimactic otherwise.

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    Well, I consider Remake to be a soft reboot, wrapped up as a remake/sequel hybrid. If that’s the case then they can be quite fluid, it gives them a lot of freedom to basically do whatever they want without worrying about canonical integrity.

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    Depends how and when he joins the group doesn’t it? ^ this. From what I’ve seen of blind, newbie reactions, Zacks appearance is a mystery that’s been introduced to be fleshed later. Mostly picking up on that Zack is connected to something to do with Cloud, probably Aeriths first love, and then...

    SPOILERS FFVII Remake Open Spoiler Discussion Thread

    Yes, and to me this is far more interesting character story than “she’s met Cloud and moved on”. Bereaved people rarely “move on”, even if they fall in love with a new person and start new relationships. They tend to learn to cope. Excluding older people, who ofc I know who have been bereaved...

    SPOILERS FFVII Remake Open Spoiler Discussion Thread

    I think there is a lot of scope for character exploration with this. Zack being around would be very confusing, and upskittling for Aerith. There is this guy who she loves, presumed dead or ghosted her, and has been mourning for some time, just as she’s starting to move on, she’s reunited with...

    FFVII Remake: Intergrade Yuffie DLC Announced

    This is my thinking, I change my mind like I change my underwear, but I have a feeling Zack will be interwoven into it. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Yuffie episode ends with a character appearing who we end up debating whether is Zack until part 2 drops.

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    I agree with you completely on this and you aren’t alone. I don’t know whether it would make me bail out, but I would certainly view the whole Remake project negatively for it. If Zack and Biggs die in Final Destination fashion, and Sephiroth comes crashing down into Aerith, I think my...

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    I dunno, a lot of the criticism I’ve seen comes from people who are adults but too young to have played it when it was first released. I think it’s just one of those things with entertainment where some people are very purist and others just more relaxed about stuff. There is an interesting...

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    It’s a shame when people rage quit a game I enjoyed. But, this is an inevitability with any game and the shed will be offset by the newcomers. There was a large survey that found that the game was really well received by newcomers - moreso than those who played OG. So retention should in theory...

    Report: PS3, Vita, And PSP Stores To Be Permanently Closed In A Few Months

    Whilst this is not legal advice, I do believe that emulation is perfectly fine and legal. The only people that can get into trouble are the developers of emulators if they break patents and providing they don’t do that then they are fine too. The legal problem comes with downloading games that...

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    I think this is the biggest concern I have. Aerith, and to a lesser extent Zack, are the “big hitters” for any major changes and I would be more surprised if Aerith dies in Remake than if she doesn’t. This doesn’t mean I think her death has been written out either, I suspect she in particular...

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    For me I’m kinda over it. When it became obvious that they wanted to change stuff, possibly big stuff, my initial reaction was really torn. Excited but also disappointed. But after the initial shock wore off and it sank in, I just got over it and now I’m excited for what comes next. So, it...

    Relationship between Remake and the original? (split from the "How many parts?" thread)

    Whilst this might be part of it, I think it’s more what it means for the story going forward. If it’s a sequel/requel then this means that change going forward could be, shall we say, controversial and whilst it may follow the general flow of the original story it will at some point go off the...

    Significant Differences Between English and Japanese

    I'm a bit of a language nerd, the two languages aside from English I would claim to actually be able to know are Spanish and Japanese, at a push French (to read and write), but I haven't used it in so long that I have zero confidence with it. But, I also technically know several to lower levels...

    What's your favorite character and why?

    Anyway, answer to the topic... Im going to give what probably sounds like a shitty answer but it is what it is. I can’t pick out a single character that stands on their own as the best character. For me, FFVII’s cast works as an ensemble - a cast of characters that are great as a cast, that...

    What's your favorite character and why?

    This is a weird thing for me, I try to separate “the fan base” from the characters as much as possible, because at times the fan base has put me off both Aerith and Tifa. I think it’s because a lot of people’s primary method to big up their favourite is to run other characters down while acting...

    SPOILERS Predictions for Part 2? (*Open Spoilers for Part 1*)

    If we consider that the Lifestream is essentially a Shinto construct and is "god" then that answers that point. Many gods can die or fade away... even the Greek Gods, and lets not get started on Shinto spirits. Immortality isn't that simple and isn't even a requirement for a being to be a god...
