After playing all the way through the game again on hard mode while mulling over the ending the entire time, I feel much better about the game than I initially did upon my first play through. I really like the Remake so far. If the ending for part 1 really is just SE making a statement that...

I got the Tifa scene, and absolutely loved it. Like, this is the only time in anything FF7 that we see Cloud and Tifa actually embrace each other as far as I recall. And it's so well done, with Tifa breaking down over losing yet another home, and Cloud being surprised by her vulnerability in his...

Interesting post, Shademp. I didn't even really consider that the time stuff would still play an important role in future parts. My thought finishing the game was that, with the Whispers defeated at the end of Part 1, the timeline stuff is over and things will proceed without all that, but what...

Ah okay. So, basically, the only time Sephiroth really needed someone to help him with getting the black materia is at the Temple of the Ancients, because someone had to be sacrificed to get it, which could have been one of the hooded clones. Cloud eventually gets it back after giving it to Seph...

Do you remember around what part of the game Cloud says that? I tried searching through the script of the game in the northern crater (disc 2) and Cloud's recovery sections (where he talks to the party on the Highwind after getting out of the lifestream), but didn't find it. It just would be...

I have thought a lot about how they are going to pull off weakening your characters at the beginning of the next game, but never thought about Yuffie stealing your stuff. That would be pretty ingenious. I was okay with new stuff being added if they mostly retold the original story. And I was...

I would prefer that to be the case, but we will just have to wait and see. I never really liked Sephiroth coming back for AC, and especially not his lines in AC about never going away. It diminishes what the party did in the OG. But, as a very fan servicey movie, I was fine with it because it...

Thanks, Licorice. Yeah, maybe, and hopefully, I am reading too much into that and the characters are not in an alternate timeline. Maybe the Whispers and everything are really just a way to reinforce in the fans not to expect things to go exactly the same way. And maybe Sephiroth's weird...

I just finished the game today. I have a ton of thoughts on the story rolling around that I want to get out, so they are going in the below for anyone interested. Apologies. I didn't intend to write THIS much. It just all kind of came out in a torrent.

Yeah, it didn't seem to really have any visible impact. But I assumed it must have disabled the reactor's lifestream pumping functionality or something, as otherwise it would mean Avalanche basically screwed up the mission.

I really liked the flashes of memory for Cloud when the other characters would ask him a personal question or a question regarding Shinra/SOLDIER. That brief look on Cloud's face where he obviously doesn't remember, then the ringing sound and color change, followed by him answering the question...

I was very pessimistic after the first announcement for the remake and then the long period of silence, and given SE's track record with the development of FFXV, etc. E3 has brought me around, though, and I am very excited for the remake. If they can keep the number of games to maybe 3 games...

Not to keep this thread off topic, but, as a big LoTR fan, it's hard to resist. I totally agree with everything you said. I thought An Unexpected Journey was great. There was so much criticism of the movie when it came out about it having too much dwarves messing around, singing, etc. in...

There is definitely strong support for this in the OG. In the flashback, Tifa finds Cloud with the buster sword at the train station, and he is still acting all messed up, talking in gibberish etc. Then he looks up at Tifa, and there are a number of flashes, until he gets up and says hi to her...

I agree that, if they are going to do this right, they need to have the FFVII Remake games in constant development to minimize the time between games, and maximize the overall sense of connectivity between the games (graphics quality, gameplay, etc.). I think two (MAYBE 3) years between each...

I mean, the battle animations, character design, etc., won't completely be wasted, since I'm sure they would reuse assets in the second remake game.

From what we have been shown so far, it seems like they are striking the right balance for this game. The original is there, but it will be expanded upon since we have a whole game set in Midgar. All the main story beats from early Midgar are present: the bombing mission and its moral...

I admit that I started becoming apathetic towards the remake after the years of silence and the announcement that SE had to switch gears and bring development in-house, which made me think it was going to be a very long time until we saw the remake, like FF Versus XIII transitioning to XV kind...

It sounds a lot like him at least. I just hope they make sure to make Cloud cocky and arrogant in the beginning of the game unlike Advent Children Cloud so we can see the change in his character between the beginning and end of the game. Hopefully Steve gets some good notes on how the character...

Thanks, Joe!
