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

    I’m only 18 hours in and I’ve only just met-up with Yuffie in Under Junon, so it’s going to be a few months until I have anything worthwhile to contribute in this thread. Nevertheless, allow me to share some unsolicited hot-takes (informed by glorious spoilers, of course): 1. Cloud has a lot of...

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

    Hell yeah, dude. My uncle had FFVIII on PC and so whenever I would visit, I ended up replaying the intro with Quistis at least 5 times. Squall is a tasteless fool. I think when I finally booted up FFVII for the first time, I knew the game was gonna lay it on thick with Aerith - she was in the...

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

    All right folks: part 2 is out next month. Let’s get back into it. So I’ve had a mostly peaceful 2 and half years, but the marketing campaign has kicked in and it’s caused both me and apparently a bunch of other people to capture brain worms about this 27-year-old mess. Again. However, while...

    Apologies for the super late reply, Thenir. Thank you (and Eerie!) for your response and pulling that tumblr post. It’s quite frustrating to see that the English translation misses some of the nuance of the Japanese original and can leave viewers (including myself) with quite a different...

    Faith v. 3.0 (Cloti Club)

    Doesn’t Tifa say before the climb up to the Shinra HQ at the end of Chapter 14 that Cloud is “a really nice guy” and she “couldn’t see it when they were kids”? Are there quotes from the new book that contradict Tifa’s statement here? I know that the book says that she liked him, especially after...

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

    That’s a great shout, Licorice. We should be precise with language. Shipping is a more purposeful and emotional activity that individuals in fandoms engage in. Trekkies have been shipping Kirk and Spock since the original Star Trek fanzines in the 60s, I believe. Anything less than that passion...

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

    You’re touching on an interesting topic. I have one angle on it, and this may be shocking to some: I think there’s a lot of psychological warfare in online fandom. You got normal people who just like to ship everything under the sun: the multishipper, who ships in good faith. You got people who...

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

    I can definitely see the appeal in a K-Drama/Cinderella story between Tifa and Rufus. It’s a cliche, for sure. Tifa has a preference for blondes it seems, and Rufus is on a redemption arc after the OG. Then again he did try to have her publicly executed, so I’m not sure how you square that...

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

    Thanks for the reply, @S.L.Kerrigan. I have three immediate responses: 1. So you agree that the shot of the eye is referencing Tifa? 2. Wouldn’t the use of stars be a strong enough reference to Tifa alone? (Tifa’s key art, the promise scene, ‘Stargazer Heights’, ‘Starshower’, ‘The Star of...

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

    The shot is from this sequence at about the 2:00 minute mark: Cloud’s memory of his mother And you can find my thoughts on what the shot means in this post:

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

    Perhaps I’m reading that shot the wrong way then. Following the memory of Cloud’s mother urging him to meet an older woman, which clearly ties into his present experiences with Aerith, I thought this shot of his eye with these deliberate and impossible lights sparkling in them is intended to...

    That’s because Barret already died in Remake. (Sorry for the double post!)

    I’ll try my best to respond to many of the points you’ve made since my last post here, Eerie. Forgive me if I miss some of them. In many regards we agree on much Eerie. We’re just operating on different assumptions. You believe that since much of the Final Fantasy VII story and our characters...

    Great post, Eerie. But after reading the analysis you have shared and the linked Reddit thread, I have to say that it leads me to a pretty different conclusion than the one you have arrived at. In the past, I have wavered on the idea of whether Tifa is going to be the one to die this time...

    FF7 Headcanons and Discussion

    In season 2 of Nibel Peaks, Claudia Strife finds herself torn between the tormented Brian Lockhart who she knows is bad for her, and the sweet but goofy Zangan, who just doesn’t excite her the way Brian does.

    FF7 Headcanons and Discussion

    Claudia seems like a pretty loving and thoughtful mother, no? May I present the following: During the Nibelheim flashback, why does Claudia encourage Cloud to date an older woman who can take care of him? Broke: Claudia knows that her son is going to be an emotionally stunted man-child for a...

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

    Haha. Guilty as charged. I agree that it’s weird and that I got carried away in my last post. I think my points would be better framed via the following premise: each of the creative leads on Final Fantasy VII’s multiple instalments have different interests and priorities as storytellers, and I...

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

    My interpretation is that Hamaguchi is going to be the day-in-day-out director: he will manage the project and it’s key deliveries and milestones, and that he comes from a technical background and can more fluently discuss coding and engine challenges than perhaps Nomura can. Nomura will remain...

    Meaning of character's name

    I’m putting money down that Braveheart was popular with the creative team back in ‘95/‘96 and someone then decided that ‘Wallace’ would be a fitting surname for the game’s revolutionary figure.
