Whisper Rebrum, Viridi and Croceo seem to represent Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo from FFVII Advent Children, fighting to save their own future (referencing the entries that appear after using the Assess materia on each). Is this true?
The Whispers are capable of forming monsters from all the memories in the flow of time, and I think that includes the characters who exist or will exist in the timeline as well.

Next, the party are shown memories of the future as told in the original FFVII, was there ever a concern that this wouldn't be obvious to fans playing Remake with no prior knowledge of the original FFVII?
Cloud and the team do not really understand what they are seeing in the scene where they are granted memories of the future either, so it is fine if the full meaning behind the visions is not communicated to the player.

Thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts of working on FFVII Remake. Is there anything you would like to say to fans who have been reading this whole blog series?
As it says at the end of the game "The Unknown Journey Will Continue", and Cloud and his friends will be on that journey for a while yet. From here on in the Whispers cannot act to maintain the destined timeline, so fans can look forward to seeing what kind of future awaits the team.

So, they're not Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo per se, but rather truly Whispers who took their forms!
Yup, their decisions stemmed from incomplete knowledge.
Lol, what a troll.
We should be so luckyTotally read this as "we know we fucked up with the whispers so now they're gone for good"
I mean, Pierre Taki's cocaine thing lost him Olaf and about a year of music sales, but he's back to getting roles and his band's back on sale and streaming.
Tetsuya Komuro commit fraud to pay his ex-wife's alimony. After avoiding jail (because he's famous?) he went back to producing... for about ten years until he was caught cheating on his brain surgery recovering wife (and singer of their band) with her nurse. He just decided to retire at that point. Oh no wait, he's done more producing since...
Tatsuhisa Suzuki is the only male adulterer I can remember who faced real consequences. But he cheated on LiSA! He also went on hiatus for related health reasons so it's not actually possible to tell if he would have lost as many roles otherwise. I'm expecting him back as Noctis.
Anyway, if Square actually care about Takahiro Sakurai's personal affairs, we should find out fairly soon because I don't think they'd want to release the Crisis Core Remaster with him in without at least a statement if they were going to end up replacing him later.
Agreed, they should just air everything out all over social media and let the fans debate about it for 20+ yearsthis is not how you deal with a love triangle
In fact it’s not really ending careers as far as cheating goes; we’ll see how this develops for him but sadly cheating is so widespread in Japan that it might not be the end as we’d expect it in the West.I just don't really care what these adults do in their personal lives and have no idea why people are taking this so seriously. I know on the Japanese end this is potentially a career killer though.
