FFVII Remake: Intergrade Yuffie DLC Announced

[Chocobo Eater]

FFVII Twitter used the term "Wutaian" in their Zhijie post. So is it Wutain or Wutaian?

I don't recall if either term was used in the novels. According to the wiki, Wutai's people are simply referred to as "Wutai".

I would certainly prefer the latter. The other looks like "woo-tane"

Chadley no longer has the worst name in remake. Now we have.....Billy Bob.

Does the name Billy Bob have certain connotations that I'm not aware of?

I can only think of the actor Billy Bob Thornton, but I still don't really get it??

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

They're both pretty much the same. Just a spelling.
It's Woo-Tie-N or Woo-Tie-An.
The transition to the N is gonna make them practically the same.
It's not Woo-Tane either way.

Nope. Just sounds very [American] southern.
But Chadley's not even a real name, lol.

It brings to mind the visage of an old bearded man wearing overalls, no shirt, caked in dirt with a hunched back and holding a banjo. He wears a weathered straw hat, has a cattail in his mouth, and sits on a log out by the bayou. The children throw rocks at him.

You don't touch the Chad Lee!

Was that not a SNES game box art? Or maybe I'm remembering wrong.

Most random box art ever?

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

If you've ever heard how lightning fast elderly banjo players play, you'll realize it's perfect.

Beware their fusion dance.

Something interesting about AVALANCHE.

Apparently, their rank or position in the organization is emblazoned on their outfits.

Zhijie is G "A" Army.

Nayo is "A" S.O.

The poor resolution of Billy Bob's render makes it too difficult to read the rank on his shirt, but the red A is definitely there.

Polk seems to be also G "A" Army like Zhijie.

I wonder what these ranks mean.

Also, I don't know if anyone's noticed... But Sonon's outfit carries samurai armor parts, specifically spaulders and gauntlets. And these parts correspond to the armor of members of the Wutai army. He even uses a lance, except it doesn't carry a secondary gun function.. As far as we know. Very interesting...

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

The "A" is from the Avalanche logo, so presumably just designates that.
Army maybe just designates non officer status of Avalanche militia.
S.O. could be Staff Officer.

The only Billy Bob I know IRL is a weed dealer who's been put outta work from legalization

I don’t mind fort condor being cut, if it means dev time spent on more important places.

I do mind, since the whole point of a multi part project, was to prevent anything from having to be cut.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I feel a little bit of both ways about it, but I've been expecting Fort Condor's role to be streamlined anyway. Not necessarily reduced, but definitely tinkered with.

 

[ForceStealer]

The supposition that, because there's an in-universe Fort Condor game, the Fort Condor as a location is being cut is a colossal leap, imo. After all the batshit stuff that's happened so far, why would that be the assumption?

Uh I know it’s a

It would be like thinking Cosmo Canyon is cut because there’s a drink. Actually... ?

 

[Saven]

Still convinced that he is the main character and he hides his spaceship in the barn. This cover shows the pivotal moment when he hears a spaceship fly by, gives that "oh shit" look we see, and runs into the barn to do battle in the skies!

I think Fort Condor will at least appear for the huge materia search. I'm not sure about the first part. And I'm pretty sure it will be vastly different than the mini game in the OG, which sucks and really need to be entirely redone - it just wouldn't work the way Remake is anyway. The game that this new character is playing evidently refers to the OG mini-game, it's sort of a tongue-in-cheek reference because I'm pretty sure the devs have noticed that this wasn't the fans' favourite part.

But, do I expect Fort Condor to show up, at the very least during the huge materia search? Yes. Do I expect the mini game to be no more and be entirely different with a whole chapter dedicated to Fort Condor and the protection of the Condor? Absolutely. The existence of this game *in game* made me snort - really? A popular game? lol - but it didn't make me change my opinion about that part of the OG and how we'll discover it in Remake.

 

[Ite]

I think it’s dumb to have silly winks and nods like that at the expense of worldbuilding. It’s anti-worldbuilding, is what it is.

 

[ForceStealer]

Well aren't you gonna feel silly when it really is a propaganda game to fund and/or discredit the Fort Condor resistance effort

 

[Eerie]

I don't get how this is done at the expense of worldbuilding? It's a great way to reference the Fort Condor mini game as it was in the OG. Every OG fan has taken notice, and I don't think it's bad? If we didn't get Fort Condor AT ALL then yeah, it would be done at the expense of worldbuilding. But I highly doubt that's the case and while I could see them skip it in the next game - honestly not even a given - it'll definitely be there for the search of huge materia sooo??
