    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Proposed past context of romanticism ≠ pining, if said character (or person) is feeling something from their death. It would be a hard hill to say that this was vague considering what has been expressed and said in all supporting material. I'd say it's easily a good faith argument, if even...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    "Having 2 heroines, Aerith and Tifa, and having the hero waver between them, that was something new." Ehh, I think it'd be best to change the way most people understand this quote. The context here was Kitase talking about the scenario, and if we're really saying "the hero = Cloud"—it's just...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Lol Since I love Supernatural, I gotta jump in though. XD But I'll make it relevant. Anyway, I definitely have seen the worst, and everyone's on the money that it's really just all over in fandoms. I've always seen it as a result of the fact romanticism in general, like our ability to seek it...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I wouldn't say it "requires" it, but within the limited context of the OG even, it's a natural way to understand he is considering multiple girls to help him and Cloud. Context here is different than talking about one girl to then inquire about the nature of women through that. The "all over"...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    For me, it's so much easier with an understanding that pre-CC Zack and post-CC Zack are different depictions of his character and showcase different values for his relationship with Aerith. So much contrast. To be blunt, post-CC Zack is very much so written to be all about Aerith, in a way that...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Lol As someone who practically wrote a while dissertation over it, it's definitely made complicated by how people understand it or how they, to be honest, conveniently want to use it. There are some variances depending on what people are talking about, on what is canonical or not.

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Yeah both would be reflective of something true contextually, really. Probably why people are so attached to the ENG Midgar Blues too. That's how production of these themes usually work evidently—very intentional and specific attention put into its creation and presentation as the FF/KH series...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Yup, not at all consequently different. Don't know why the distinction keeps being made, especially considering how contextually it makes since for the emotional manipulation Jenova takes advantage of. Love, Fear, AND Hatred are basically the big 3 for that objective. Aerith has feelings for...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    I would be willing to bet that they didn't do the entirety of the script from the ENG version, but it certainly isn't impossible or at least for certain parts. I want to say it was something for a podcast if you want to check it out, though I could be wrong. Edit: Nah I think I was actually...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    @Rin Oh, lol, just of interest—I just took a peak at the credits and for ENG, there's some interesting honorable mentions this time around. They literally hired Elizabeth Bushouse, who for the FF7 community at least was known for providing scripts of JPN/ENG scripts for Remake for the fandom, to...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Nothing concerning LtD on my part, but yup. Though at times you will have translators at other offices, too, in addition to who is directly a part of the development team. Seemingly, very rarely will it just be translators somewhere else and not in-house. This is the case for most, if not all...

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Yup, that's how I feel basically. It's Cloud really not being in the same tempo that Aerith wants him to be at. The ENG line is really the same, but that depends on how people understand the purpose and functionality of Cloud's response. I'll be a broken record at this point. Lol

    SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

    Out of context, "sure, why not?" doesn't reflect the same thing as "we're friends". In context however, I can definitely see what they were going for, which the key in understanding it is in Aerith's response, which is the whole point of this exchange to begin with. Cloud isn't saying "we're...

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    THAT part is in the ENG trailer: "So focus on the future, not the past". In terms of meaning, the ENG trailer doesn't actually stray that much.

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Lmao Yeah, I also like the grilling here—it's probably the most direct conversation that Nomura could have with the fanbase without actually talking to them. It includes the follow up too. It's still funny to me, because I always stand by the fact that the Compilation itself beget a Remake...

    So where do we stand on the big remake mystery now?

    Mostly that's how I feel. I think I've said it before, maybe in another thread, that the actual telling of the core themes in the OG, i.e. the scenes that represent those things with strong impact, haven't happened yet, and as Golden pointed out, there isn't evidence that stuff WON'T still...

    So where do we stand on the big remake mystery now?

    There are different lines of thoughts, I'd say. "The Remake deviates from core themes and events"—for the events, in a literal sense this is true. One doesn't need to do a scene by scene comparison to know this. But for core themes—are we comparing the core themes introduced in OG's Midgar to...

    FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

    Haha I'll take "nothing to do with the themes of the OG" as something not meant to be literal, though I think there's something equally as unproductive and impractical with the use of staying 'true/faithful' that is also stubbornly buzzing around on all subjects. My initial thought, it's an...
