Nojima's Novella provides context:

Tifa should be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. :monster: There is no logical reason for Tifa's role to change. Sephiroth would very much like to win this time, Aerith is opening wormholes and defying fate, and Zack is alive-ish somewhere or when. Cloud could explicitly...

Ugh, I'm pretty sure one of the hardcore shippers scared Audrey off translating for the time being. Is it really necessary to accuse her of being biased and witholding "info" while they are livetweeting a translation?

Nojima's narrative trick where it seems like she's spilling the beans on her teenage feelings about Cloud to the party, but is actually doing a 1,000 yard stare is dirty pool, old man. XD

I copied and pasted what I could from twitter, the main two sources being @aitaikimochi (with dashes) and @HayashiNagisa (more basic english translation)

Remake Part Deux: Schrodinger's Zack.

Oh I know it's easily debunkable, but what if two Clouds show up to the reunion at Northern Crater?

What if the party crossed unkowingly from Beagle to Terrier at the end of remake?

Maximillian_Dood on twitch is theorizing that Zack is alive in another timeline and Aerith is already dead hence the people crying in the church, wilted flowers, the "Aerith?" ending line, etc. I don't know what to feel about that, but I'm seeing side missions, DLC with Zack and other...

I haven't played the new thing and only watched the cutscene once so I don't have a strong opinion on the current debate. I haven't seen it mentioned that we're going from PS4 to PS5 here so visual fidelity updates are going to be expected. The main cast definitely looks sharper, so I could see...

IDK about Tifa dying, as it requires some plot/continuity gymnastics I'd rather not speculate on. Technically, she can die and still help heal Cloud's mind in the lifestream, but if messes with everything else and it feels too close to what happened in FFXV. If they're really gonna go throwing...

Hello! What a kind and warm greeting. Thank you and welcome to the forums.

This TBH. The more I think about it, I kinda expect Cloud to more explicitly and fully come under Sephiroth's control in this story (beyond the Aerith attacks). It doesn't irrevocably change the story if he fights the party before falling into the lifestream and making his comeback. Also we need...

This is gonna sound very whiny for something people spent half a decade working on but the best way I can describe it is a well prepared fish that wasn't deboned properly. Problem was I ordered a steak. Voice Acting = 7 out of 10: They have industry pros for the most part. If anything they...

TBH Zack was a cipher character until Crisis Core. He was originally created to do was be the key to the mystery of Cloud's identity and literally doing the legwork of bridging the backstory and the start of the game. I don't want to call OG Zack a plot device, but he's not much more than that...

I love the other side of the mountain line, but maybe they thought it was too vague/poetic to make the final cut. What they put in the game (pronouns aside) felt a bit too philosophical for hanging on a ledge right after the biggest battle of your life. I'm probably in the minority, but the...

In terms of plot, my guess is he'll be the wild card to Sephiroth's destiny denying shenanigans. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Zack to be introduced just to hang out in his verse and never cross over, so I do believe there will be a reunion at some point. Obviously lots of ways he could...

That glare at the end: Nah, Avalanche knows Cloud's going to fight Sephiroth. We just get the screenwriting equivalent of covering a plot hole with wax paper. So from the filmmakers POV this scene is doing a bit of heavy lifting: 1. Tell the audience Kadaj is only a precursor to Sephiroth...

@insanehobbit It's a valid point, but she's so young that I don't know if I could see her making a full accounting of her emotional inventory until later in life. Those kind of stories usually live in fandom if at all. I think helping push Cloud literally confront his demons and returning to...
