Feels like only the blink of an eye since Remake launched, although I blame that on 2020 and 2021 being a bit of a blur due to fairly obvious reasons. Honestly one of the things I'm looking forward to most is being able to actually have conversations in person with my friends about the game...

Was going to skip the SoP but buckled. CBU1 have outdone themselves here by the looks of things. Remake was them asking players to trust in the process and this is the payoff.

From belts and zippers, to checkered material, to lapels. The many eras of Nomura art.

Really wasn't expecting any more significant marketing until December but here we are. I'll be genuinely surprised if they don't give Vincent a proper reveal here.

I would've been happy with either pronunciation, I can't bring myself to think it's that big of a deal if I'm perfectly honest.

Kate Sihth, Yuhffy and Aeris, the holy trinity.

Just realised there were no new PAKs announced alongside all the other merch; perhaps they're holding off until Vincent is formally revealed so they can do Yuffie/Cait/Vincent as the first set of releases. Presuming Cid will get one too, but who else would be in his set?

Is this game a dream? How on earth did they pull this off? No wonder they've been so forthcoming and confident in interviews - they've clearly got something very special and they know it.

https://www.famitsu.com/news/202309/21317095.html Interview with Kitase/Hamaguchi/Nomura. Reiteration by Nomura that all locations from the original game will be included.

Whole bunch of new Kuji lottery prizes. Presumably the two mystery rubber keychains are for Vincent and Cid, which makes it particularly weird that the latter gets a polygon figure while the former doesn't. Unsure if there's anything worth reading from that.

If Remake was CBU1 saying "trust us on this" then Rebirth is looking like their "told you".

The open areas having a variety of stuff to do aside regular sidequesting is encouraging - 16's zones were very pretty but there wasn't much to really do in them aside pick up shinies and fight enemies. Obviously a single article hardly gives us the full picture, but it definitely inspires...

This, the segway and Red riding the chocobo are some of the best parts of the media released. They're continuing to embrace fun and silliness.

Quite enjoying it so far, I'm not usually one for gacha but maybe the FF7 skew was all I needed. Wasn't expecting to like the FS stuff but it's actually alright.

Re-rolling is also extremely easy, fairly uncommon with these kind of games. No salting of Gmail addresses or anything like that, just a simple data reset, and from what I've read you get all the pre-reg bonuses again too. Honestly I'm surprised at how comparatively generous it is, I've already...

They added in a lanyard with character renders printed on it for all SE Store orders in late 2019, I think you may be conflating the Shinra ID card with that.

Target and Amazon US are taking preorders now as well, so it feels like we're getting something soon, although interestingly SE do not have the game listed as part of their exhibition at TGS (Ever Crisis is). Guessing a pre-TGS State of Play?

Unravel a gripping narrative - Witness the personal journey of each party member and strengthen their bonds to work together and face off against powerful enemies. This feels to me like a hint at some form of social link-style system that is necessary for unlocking dual techs. I certainly...

The amount of effort that's gone into this seems way higher than I personally expected; I really did not anticipate completely new music arranges, but here we are. Intrigued to see if it'll be possible to port the new translation to OG. The way scenes play out in EC aren't quite 1:1, but...
