The fatal flaw in my teams plan is I'm pretty sure that I'm in a different time zone to most of you but figured I'd throw it out there!

Also I definitely don't mean right this minute as I am, as usual when accessing the forum, on a train. Glad people would be up for it at some point though!

Should we edit the first post to include everyone's ID number?
Also maybe a first soldier discord channel on the TLS server would be a good idea.

So thanks to this game, we learned that Rufus's special shotgun/dual-gun hybrid is called "Lodestar." 
If you kill the Guard Scorpion, it drops this weapon. And you actually flip a coin, and then shoot it to fire a massive laser.

Still have yet to get my first win. Got 2nd and 3rd a few times, but can't secure it.
I'd love to play more, but The First Solider just had to come out in the same week as Shin Megami Tensei V. There's sooo many weeks in a year, c'mon man.
One small thing I love is being able to fly round Midgar for 30 seconds as a helicopter before the match begins. Midgar is actually in 3D in The First Soldier! This is something Remake couldn't accomplish. Remake relies on skyboxes to render its world, which while incredibly detailed, also appear "flat" if you look at them for too long. It also led to a number of inconsistencies, but I digress. I'm guessing they relied on skyboxes to increase performance.
I like the projection technology in the center of the matchmaking room that's used to display Midgar. It's reminiscent of the projector used to display Diabolic Creation (aka Heretic Rayleigh) in Intermission.
Finally, just look at this Scorpion Sentinel skin on my mountain chocobo. Dang that's cute. Still won't get the season pass though haha.

I'd been meaning to ask, has anyone dug into the chocobo breeding stuff?

LMAO what the actual fuck?
Is that Cloud???
ROFL So that's how they're going to incorporate other characters who clearly couldn't exist 30 years before FFVII!
Those fucking mad lads made that glitch shit some weird after effect or whatever from the Arbiters or something. So we could get glitched shades/echoes of any FFVII-R characters randomly.
Interesting. How fun.

LOL Anti-Cloud.
So has there been any other glitched shadow versions of the main characters? Do they just show up randomly in a match?
I wonder what would happen if you beat them?

The actual Whispers themselves resemble no Heartless from Kingdom Hearts. They're merely hooded ghostly figures while Heartless are designed with a far more distinct and unique aesthetic. Now, the Harbinger resembles a more detailed Darkside heartless given it's size and general humanoid shape.
What the actual Whispers resemble, is Ansem's robed appearance as a disembodied heart. A design that was inspired by the FFVII Sephiroth Copies, by Nomura's own admission.
So in the end, it's all a circle.
Outside of Harbinger, this "Anti-Cloud" is hilariously the first, most "Heartless" looking FFVII thing I've seen yet.Although technically he should have yellow eyes but some Heartless do have red eyes when they're angry so lol

It's just Cloud it seems, and you get to become Cloud in the match if you win against him.LOL Anti-Cloud.

LOL JPN fans are also making the KH comparison.

And playing as Cloud

You can also use Cross-Slash

He's deadass Anti-Cloud! How can anyone not see it? 
Ngl, that looks pretty hilarious and awesome. Randomly turning into Cloud and mercing your enemies sounds fun.

POV you're a Shinra infantryman working at Mako Reactor 1 and a train just rolled in.
The skyboxes appear flat is because they are in 2D.

So this Dark Cloud has a red glowing eye like Jenova?
I tried yesterday, it's similar to the OG breeding mechanics but I think there are more kinds of chocobos..? I breeded a blue male with a gray female and I obtained a dark green one

I find it funny that breeding two chocobos means losing both parents. Wouldn't that render them extinct in just a few generations?
