FFVII Remake: Intergrade Yuffie DLC Announced

[Makoeyes987]

Yeah, that's true. It could certainly be a callback to the transformation Hojo underwent with Jenova cells.

But why her as a monster? Why bring such a tertiary (she literally shows up once and that's it) character back as an experimental monster here?

It would have been more effective to use her in the Remake proper. Have Cloud have a fleeting moment of recognition upon seeing her mutated form in the Drum and then shaking it off.

Oh well, this is all just a massive surprise. Now I wonder what other track names have different titles in Japanese that are more revealing?

 

[OWA-2]

After seeing the names for some of these tracks, I'm really intrigued about all the "???" ones. It must be some trully bombastic stuff, if they didn't think that "Weiss and Nero" or "Heretic Rayleigh" were worthy of being hidden.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

I was noticing how many "???" ones there are *after* "Heretic Rayleigh"... as well as between what is obviously Scarlet's section and the beginning of the DG tracks.

So... whose themes are we getting in Deepground that would be massive spoilers...

 

[OWA-2]

It could go far beyond Deepground, and be important to the entire Remake.

Potential tittles:

- Gackt is Backt, Baby!!
- The FFVII/FFX Connection is Real!
- Sephiroth's Wacky Time Machine!

FF7R: Vaguely alludes to compilation lore

Yuffie DLC: *vomits*

 

[Makoeyes987]

But it sorta makes sense.

FFVII's main storyline doesn't interact with too many Compilation elements because... It's FFVII and its own unique story.

But if you veer off that path....?

You're literally in the Compilation 100%. Going too far outside the FFVII plot sphere leads you to all sorts of things that aren't FFVII.

And Yuffie isn't even close to her proper path yet so

 

[Shademp]

Yuffie contracted a serious case of the mid-2000s. It begins with Compilation lore but soon she's gonna vomit up Newgrounds FF7 animations and ACF banners/signatures.

 

[Odysseus]

I can't wait to watch her sonic 06 let's play

 

[Tetsujin]

Speaking of let's play, Yuffie's VA recently played through VIIR on her twitch

FFVII-2R Genesys: It was the Compilation all along

 

[cold_spirit]

Was thinking about Dirge of Cerberus and Intergrade and this thought dawned on me:

It’s summer 2006. The newest FFVII release is just a few weeks away. I've seen screenshots of some characters named Weiss and Nero. Looking forward to exploring Deepground.

It’s summer 2021. The newest FFVII release is just a few weeks away. I've seen screenshots of some characters named Weiss and Nero. Looking forward to exploring Deepground.

 

[Shademp]

Spoiler

It's the Year of Dirge

 

[Odysseus]

A lot of fans are upset but I don't care, this is great.

 

[cold_spirit]

I'm so glad I'm not anywhere near these upset fans I've read about. For me, the days are crawling by as we get closer to Intergrade.

 

[Odysseus]

I saw somebody on the 7R reddit hoping Yuffie would hit Deepground's self destruct switch and make dirge non canon lol.

 

[Shademp]

Meanwhile I'm hyped for Dirge content but I also hope that FF7R will go the full length of its current (apparent) direction and render all previous post-OG content erased due to changes in the timeline. The old post-OG stuff will be limited to an old timeline and thus still be canon yet it will be erased so it's also non-canon. Schrödinger's Canon.

Just go full ham and change the scenarios enough that we end up seeing Deepground soldiers and Tsviets fight the planetary Weapons.

 

[OWA-2]

Can you imagine if the Wutai war is restarted, and ShinRa uses Deepground in it?

They can do so many wild things, by implementing Compilation material in the remake.

Lol i almost spit out my water

 

[looneymoon]

in 2006 I really wanted a pair of Yuffies high top converse from Advent Children. Maybe it's time to finally get a pair.

Spoiler: Me everytime Dirge of Cerberus or the Compilation gets referenced in the FFVII Remake and crystalized into canon

 

[Obsidian Fire]

The more I see of Remake, the more I am validated for liking the Compilation so much.

Because how else am I supposed to find all the Compilation Easter Eggs?

 

[KindOfBlue]

I saw somebody on the 7R reddit hoping Yuffie would hit Deepground's self destruct switch and make dirge non canon lol.

I mean I kind of fall into this line of thinking...

Meanwhile I'm hyped for Dirge content but I also hope that FF7R will go the full length of its current (apparent) direction and render all previous post-OG content erased due to changes in the timeline.

...where I don’t think we’ll see AC and DoC occur as they did previously in this new Remake continuity but rather than totally scrapping those stories like the Reddit user mentioned might like, SE takes elements of those games and weaves them throughout the retelling of the OG.

Pretty interesting strategy imo as it still allows those other works room to exist in relation to the OG while taking on a new relationship to the remake. Compilation haters might not be too thrilled about this stuff infesting the oh-so-precious OG story but such is the way of life, I guess. I hated Genesis but I’d happily welcome him back if it means I can spend hours abusing him inside a VR simulator or something.

 

[Makoeyes987]

LOL that's not happening.

This is like 2018 when folks thought the Remake wouldn't reference the Compilation whatsoever, and Cloud's deadass wearing the Compilation version of the SOLDIER emblem. Like I said 3 years ago before...

They're not killing their kid.

 

[Shademp]

They're not killing their kid.

Of course not. People will still be able to play Ever Crisis, watch Advent Children Complete on whatever service it's on etc.

But for the new continuity, with the new canon, people will have to play the Remake series. I don't think Square considers quasi-deleting AC, OtWtaS, DoC etc to be "killing their kid". If they had such concerns they wouldn't have made such a dramatic re-framing to the OG story the way they did with Remake Part 1's ending.

...It's also possible that they'll backpedal and have all the time shenanigans be erased from the Remake timeline, everybody has their memories partially erased and everybody only remember the OG version of events and then old post-OG happens as before. I can see them going either way.

 

[Theozilla]

Or they might just go the simpler route and just have the Compilation able to fit with both either the OG or the Remake canon. Like an inverse of how the Shōwa and Heisei Godzilla eras are both canon to the original 1954 film but not to each other.
