Neat new Lucky Sevens bug found!

Well, there is certainly an attempt to keep being innovative from artists within the mainstream, but because gaming has become more and more of an industry, it's become more and more corporate, resulting in a lot more industry cookie-cutter sameness. But yea, I can overall see your point, and...

Oh I'm not giving the person any free passes for that, but either way I hope they learned a hard valuable lesson from this and can move on in a more productive way.

OK but serious answer: I actually think that a fully levelled Chaos from the first two Dissidia games is probably the hardest for me. Harder than any mainline final bosses I've fought.

Here's a great vid on misconceptions being used as fuel for shipping wars:

What I've noticed about FFVII compared to other games and other FF games that I think greatly contributed to its success and attention is that it was one of the first mainstream console RPGs that had settings and themes based on real world issues. Also the fact that the themes that its based on...

Just wait. Rebirth will reveal that both designs are actually correct bc one is from the Remake timeline while the other is from either the original timeline or the Zack timeline :desuawesomonster:

Yes, I didn't intend to come off as generalizing with that comment, it was just all I could think of. Though, when you brought up the amount of Japanese games that use elements of monotheistic religions for various commentaries, that is probably another likely connection as to why Jewish...

The only theory I have as to why there was a particular interest in Jewish mysticism is some kind of prolonged Japanese guilt about siding with the Nazis in WWII. Which led to an increase down the line in Japanese interest in Jewish concepts. I have no idea how accurate that actually is...

A very interesting writeup! I have some thoughts of my own on the topic. Multiple Japanese stories in media in the 90s used Kabbalah mysticism and symbols in their works. It is not at all unique to FFVII. It was a common theme in a lot of Japanese media of the time. Evangelion used it. The...

The Remake isn't even intending to replace the OG and that's been made clear by the devs and by how the Remake presents itself, so I'm not sure why we need to compare the two at all. I would argue though that OG is actually more grounded because the most abstract the OG gets is the power of...

Now if they really are doing a Master's Thesis, maybe this was just brought on by them having to vent out pent up stress? In which case I hope they can manage their stress and mental health well in those circumstances and clear their mind.

What gets me is that they claim to be doing a *master's thesis* on FFVII-O vs. FFVII-R, and yet they are arguing with someone who is just stating facts about FFVII-O's themes...

I'm just gonna throw in my two cents randomly, then probably never touch this debate again. I'm asexual so I usually don't give a hoot about debating any kind of "Ship". However, since in this game/world they play a pretty big role, I'll just say how I like to interpret it. Cloud, Aerith...

As fun as this thread is, I am generally still confused as to why they changed the design back in the first place? I love OG, and still have some problems with Compilation (Which, btw, as an update, I've actually warmed up to Advent Children and Crisis Core. I re-watched Advent Children - this...

So far I haven't seen anything from Before Crisis, Advent Children, or Dirge shown during the trailers for Ever Crisis. Only stuff from Crisis Core and OG have been shown. That has me a bit concerned, as I would love the West to finally have an official release of Before Crisis.

... OK, wow, I was just browsing YouTube when I found this video! This is really interesting.

I decided to upload the unique boomerang animation to my YouTube channel for the sake of documentation.
