Thanks guys for the comments, I'm happy you enjoyed the trailer. The idea was to showcase the wonderful work done by Satsuki which is IMHO outstanding.
SYW V5 comes also with 30fps FMVs and restored animations (first mod to attempt in this)
Plus a very handy installer for who is lazy:

On another hand, regarding
Reunion: it is a totally different Mod-Manager platform, which has as default a mandatory mod, "Beacause":
"Beacause it's a complete retranslation and relocalization from the ground up, using the original Japanese script. The aim is to have an end product that is accurate and professional. Official sources have been used to minimize errors in context and spelling."

I highly recommend to play the FFVII OG with the retranslation since the original translation was very poor, so poor that you can distract yourself from your play: many mistakes (ex: Beacause, Off Course, etc.), no-sense dialogues, two major mistake plot-wise and so many "lost in translation situations" due to Baskett which was alone (most likely) and did the whole original translation in 1 month.
The retranslation had two japanese proof-checkers.
Also, see below.
Issues:
"The original English localization suffers from errors in grammar, spelling, context and translation.
A lot of the errors point to a rushed job due to little communication with the original authors.
Many of the errors miss out on specific references to people, places, and mythology.
Some errors alter the plot; a few, severely. Some errors have been adopted as canon by SE, and some have been modified in later media."
Plot-wise:
"Quite a few... more than two. But off the top of my head:
1. Tseng was said to have died in the original game, when really he was injured.
2. When you meet Vincent he says something like "So Sephiroth knows he was created 5 years ago" instead of something like "So Sephiroth learned the secret of his birth, 5 years ago"
3. Cait Sith dialect being English means that Scarlet's dialogue "Reeve, you talk funny" (better translated as "Your accent has gone all funny") is totally confusing. Reeve is supposed to be talking in a Scottish accent at this point and Scarlet is making reference to the fact. And hundreds of medium and minor errors too."
I would add:
-Red XIII dialogues were suppose to be changing: Pre-Cosmo Canyon he's acting as an adult and Post-Cosmo Canyon its true self comes out, also Tim Rogers explaining that particular scene
wonderfully.
By the way
Reunion it's compatible with SYW V4 as of R06g and from the new version R06h it should be compatible with SYW V5 (but with 15fps movies.)
