SPOILERS FFVII:R Chapter 9 Spoiler Discussion

[Theozilla]

Cloud high-fived Zack in Crisis Core and was never that awkward.

Like, one of their iconic moments scenes is them doing that, so I don't think the real Cloud doesn't know what a high-five is, lol

In addition to what ForceStealer said, Zack was also one of the few people Cloud felt comfortable socializing with, even among people he likes. Also I think Cloud is more awkward with girls in general too.

 

[Tennyo]

So I've been watching Maxamilian Dood's play through of this chapter and it makes me feel better that he died on Hell House and I didn't. And I generally consider myself to be pretty bad at this game all around.

I mean he's great at everything else but yay there's one thing I did okay on. XD

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Awkward teenage Cloud uncomfortable around girls + suffering arrested development after five years in a mako tank + trying really hard to be cool = no high fives

 

[looneymoon]

ugh chapter 9 was perfect, I dont think I need to say much because it was literally just... such a joy. This section of the game was completely worth the admission price.

also my headcanon is that Jules is Mukki. Mukki is his last name.

Also... my rage when everyone is so rude to my girl Aerith's appearance. Shes beautiful just the way she is you tasteless mongrels

Aerith is being portrayed so well because she definitely has no problem taking care of herself. But I am really getting into Clouds head, because my mind still oscillates between "MUST PROTECC" and "oh jeez she's so pretty and cool, dont fuck this up you awkward piece of trash." Also, just in general, I am really loving the remakes portrayal of Cloud and Aerith's developing connection. It is getting me actively emotional every scene they have together. It's crazy to think about the fact that it's been over 20 years we've seen this two characters interacting while they are both alive, even with all the sequels and spin offs...

Oh no I totally did not make myself cry thinking about it oh no I did not

 

[Tennyo]

@looneymoon Jules is Big Bro imho

TBH I think Andrea is a possibly toned-down and much more fabulous Mukki. As sad as I am over no Mukki I think Andrea is a good trade off.

 

[Theozilla]

Also Madam M has parts of Mukki's role too since she's the one who gives massages.

And as I stated earlier in this thread:

Eh, I am not surprised he got cut, since in interview the developers did say they would want to avoid the “predatory gay man” stereotype in the Remake. Which regardless of how positive of intentions/benefit you give Mukki’s character, he does still fall into that stereotype at least somewhat no matter what.

 

[looneymoon]

Yeah, I'm not too mad about Mukki being left out for those reasons. I believe Atlus did something similar for the Royal Edition of Persona 5. Good job on being better, Japanese gaming industry.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Pretty sure any changes to P5R were solely the decision of the localization staff, not Atlus Japan. So I'm personally not yet willing to give Atlus the benefit of the doubt until the changes come from the original work, not just the localization.

But it's certainly better than nothing!

 

[Tennyo]

This girl's reaction to this chapter gives me life.

She also got a much better dress than I did.

 

[looneymoon]

I fucked up the rhythm game so bad because I was laughing so hard/admiring Cloud's moves.

Hatsune Miku doesn't even compare.

 

[Tetsujin]

Replaying this chapter. Seems like I got Sam's quest line now

 

[ForceStealer]

This girl's reaction to this chapter gives me life.

She also got a much better dress than I did.

Really? I think you got the best dress the first time. This one is awful, lol

 

[Tennyo]

@ForceStealer This was is fuller a poofier with a more elaborate wig. Personal tastes aside I think this one is intended to be the best.

 

[ForceStealer]

I would expect the one that you get from doing a sidequest that mimics the original the game is more likely to be the intended best.

 

[Tennyo]

@ForceStealer Maybe? I have no idea what quest chain she received, though.

 

[ForceStealer]

@ForceStealer Maybe? I have no idea what quest chain she received, though.

You do if she got that dress
Chocobo Sam's quests (OG-related) get you the blue and black corset one.
Madam M's quests get you this poofy madness

 

[Odysseus]

I think Aerith's dresses are the only ones that the game actually considers on a scale from "Good, middle, bad." Tifa's are all decided by a text box choice, and Cloud's are decided by quest line. The reaction Cloud gets is always the same, anyway.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I like Aerith's "ugly one" the best. ??‍

 

[Sasseli]

I want to set Aerith's ugly ones, but I'll save that for the second playthrough. Hoping I won't get her best one again.
I love how everyone enjoys the game! Though I'm a little sad that you can't influence whether creepy Corneo picks you or one of the others. But the Don is perfect! I always marvel at how perfect they made him!

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

They outdid themselves in Wall Market, that's for sure.

 

[Odysseus]

I feel like people are sleeping on the line "Aerith to Cloud!"

She says that when Cloud won't talk to her after getting put in the dress. That pun doesn't make any sense in you world, Aerith!

 

[Tetsujin]

Ahahahaha, that shitty version of Aerith's theme when you get her bad dress

I feel so bad for her.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

"Yeah, but still... You put a lot of work into this

...Did you put a lot of work into this?"

 

[Saven]

Finally got all bridal dresses for the trophy. That took awhile lol

 

[Russell]

So I got a trophy for getting 3 dresses, but Cloud only wears one? I feel I'm missing something obvious there...

Also is there any bonus for doing well in the dance thing? Because I didn't even try, I just put the controller down and waited. These mini games are really starting to feel like padding now. I assume I got the worst dress but Corneo still picked me?
Is that scripted now? Because in the original you only got picked if you worked for it with the mini games.
