Guys this apparently is new dialogue when you enter the room, can someone translate:

My impression is that this is the dialogue people are meant to hear over their headphones as they roam the exhibit.

I transcribed the left half of the page, but there are almost certainly errors in my transcription and google translate is (almost) useless here.

特別展示 ● FINAL FANTASY VII


エアリスの声


「空、嫌いだな
大切な人、連れてっちゃうから」

「スタンプ! スタンプ!?
……そっか
君もいなくなっちゃうんだ」


「新しい恋で、古いの、忘れられる
そんな話、聞いてたけど……
これがそう?

なんだか、心が痛い
いいのかな?」


「ここ、不思議な場所なの
1年中、お花、咲くんだ
だから、季節が巡らなくて⎯⎯
だから、氣持ちが変わらな〈て⎯⎯
困っちゃうな」


「時々、同じ且の人を見かけるよ
君と同じ目
そのたびに、迷うんだ
あの人、知ってますか?
どこにいか知りませんか?
訊いてみようか、やめようか……って」


...Yeeeaaaah, that isn't really helpful. :wacky:


EDIT: The right half of the page.

「この道も、いつか終わるよ
寂しいけど、悲しいけど
またねって笑顔で言おう?
ね?」


「参りました
降参です
君のこと、気になって……
ああ梅しい!」


「もしもーし
起きてくださーい
夜が明けちゃうよ?」


「お花、踏まないでね」


「来てくれたんだ
ありがとう
うれしいよ
でも、君はもう……」


「君が離れてい●●
君から離れい●●
ああ……昇って●
わたしも空に消え
君が見えるよ……
君が泣いている……
もう、泣かないで
雨にっちゃうよ」

"I will end this road someday, but I'm sad, can I say it again with a smile?
Is not it?"


"I'm glad you took in. I am curious about you...
Oh plum!"


"Would you mind getting up and the night will end?"


"Flowers, do not step on me"


"You came, I'm glad you appreciate it, but you are already..."


"You are far away ●●
I am away from you ●●
Oh ... ascending.
I will also disappear in the sky and you will see...
You are crying...
I will not cry anymore, will rain."
for a moment i was like, "you better not be taking my job here, google translate" but then i got to "flowers, don't step on me" and i felt a little safer

「空、嫌いだな
大切な人、連れてっちゃうから」
"I hate the sky. Because it takes away the people dear to me."

「スタンプ! スタンプ!?
…そっか
君もいなくなっちゃうんだ」
"Stamp! Stamp!? ... Oh. You're going away too."

「新しい恋で、古いの、忘れられる
そんな話、聞いてたけど…
これがそう?
なんだか、心が痛い
いいのかな?」
"I heard before, that with a new love you forget the old ones. Is this that? It kind of hurts. Is this okay?"

「ここ、不思議な場所なの
1年中、お花、咲くんだ
だから、季節が巡らなくて――
だから、気持ちが変わらなくて――
困っちゃうな」
"This is a strange place. Flowers bloom all year round. So the seasons don't come around... So feelings don't change... It's confusing."

「時々、同じ目の人を見かけるよ
君と同じ目
そのたびに、迷うんだ
あの人、知ってますか?
どこにいるか知りませんか?
訊いてみようか、やめようか……って」
"Sometimes, I see people with the same eyes. Same as yours. When I do, I don't know how to react. 'Do you know him?' 'Do you know where he is?' I don't know if I should ask or not."

「別れのつらさ、知ってるのに。
どうして出会いは……
出会いはこんなに嬉しいのかな?
意地悪だなあ」
"I know how much parting hurts. And yet why is meeting someone new... why does it make me this happy? It's so mean."

「その道も、いつか終わるよ
寂しいけど、悲しいけど
またねって笑顔で言おう?
ね?」
"This road will end one day too. It'll be lonely, be sad, but let's say 'see you soon' with a smile, okay?"

「参りました
降参です
君のこと、気になって……
ああ悔しい!」
"That's it. I give up. I like you... Argh, why me!"

「もしもーし
起きてくださーい
夜が明けちゃうよ?」
"Hellooo! Wake uuup! The sun's coming up."

「お花、踏まないでね」
"Please don't step on the flowers."

「来てくれたんだ
ありがとう
うれしいよ
でも、君はもう……」
"You came. Thank you, I'm glad you did. But, you're already..."

「君が離れていく
君から離れていく
ああ……昇っていく
わたしも空に消えていく
君が見えるよ……
君が泣いている……
もう、泣かないで
雨になっちゃうよ」
"You're moving away. I'm moving away from you. Oh.. I going up. I'm disappearing into the sky too. I can see you.... You're crying... Don't cry anymore. It'll start raining."

* i basically guessed what the bits in red were since the photo obscures that.

There's nobody with Aerith in that picture of her house, the thing that people think is Barret it just her extractor fan...zoom in and have a close look:P

If the flowers bloom all year long then let that be proof, it's not daylight that shines down on Aerith's house and church, just artificial lights from the plate.

I don't know how that works. Can plants subsist on artificial lighting?

I'd be more inclined to believe that Midgar area is somewhere on the border between subtropical and tropical. Not that FFVII's world remotely tries to use climate as anything but an aesthetic, but Midgar and Costa del sol are right across from each other.

don't people who grow weed indoors use artificial lightning (but specific hydroponic lights)?

maybe aerith is selling more than flowers

sector 4(20) am i right, blaze it girl

RE: flowers and artificial light: yes they can grow under artificial lights but they're pretty specific types, so street lighting wouldn't cut it. I always figured that Aeris' house and the church got a little natural light because of the way it shone on the two locations, everywhere else in the slums where there's light generally has a dingy yellow sort of light. As for climate, temperate climates can have flowers growing all year round, it's why Africa is such a big producer of cut flowers. :moar:

With the exception of the character art of the Avalanche crew, that enviromental "concept art", looks like they just took a oil paint filter to an in-game enviroment screen-shot.

Like I did here. Look, "concept art" of Midgar :

And a smaller one with bigger strokes and some noise, just to add that, "I just took a picture of this with my shitty phone-camera, and then someone blew it up on the internet"-factor =)

I'm just saying that's what it looks like. I'm not commited to thinking it has to be one way or the other.

Sure, it could mean SE are being lazy (which they often are for this kinda stuff), and just took a screenshot of some of their assets, and filtered it down (this kind of shoddy work isn't unusally in the industry, and is analogous to many other quick-fixes and patch-work they've done over the years)

Or, it could simply be, as it often is, an unfornate effect of a convergence of tools and styles in the industry at the moment, where many artists work purely digitally, almost all working through a trend, where some even go as far as using 3D assets, or superimposed images of real objects etc. to assist in the production of the image.

It's just a shame, because it lacks any distinct flavor of its own.

In either case, as a person who does a lot of digital art myself, non of that actually looks like it was painted, or drawn. They look like filtered 3D images.

Wow, I should have looked a little closer. *too busy working on my next video*
I didn't see the reactor at the top in the top-left image.

Good catch, Radigar!

The open ceiling with light streaming down is interesting. I really like what they have done with the sewers.

Thank you for the hi-res shots of those 2 pictures, Tetsujin!
Now all we need are hi-res shots of the other ones, especially the debris hole and the presumed President Shinra office.

There has been a tonne of fake posts as of late on reddit (mostly 4chan links) relating to the remake so I'm really stoked for actual proper screens that show a little of what we're to expect :)

Apparently we'll also get a look at the 're-designed' Aerith from the remake, somewhen during the Anniversary event. But who knows if this is yet another rumor or actually true.

The atmosphere on these is great. Love the "light filtering down from someplace high up" feeling they all have.
