I never thought about the buildings being empty during the plate climb, but there really should have been scattered furniture at least. I didn't expect dead bodies, it's a T rated game, but still. I don't think it's a huge disappointment though.

Yeah, the issue I see with some people is that because the limitations of the OG meant filling in some gaps mentally, it sets them up for disappointment if the remake doesn’t live up to those exact expectations they created in their own heads. Personally I think it’s an unfair expectation to put on a new work, even a remake, since you’re not judging it by its own terms anymore but by your own imagination. It is what it is, though. Like I said, we barely get much focus on the aftermath of the plate anyways or the building up of sector 7 beforehand so I just treated it like a plot device in the OG and moved on just as the game did.

I say it, in French she sounds like a huge bitch, I won't forgive her unless we have a Jessie-Tifa convo where she apologises =)

I also want more Biggs because he's the underdevelopped of the 3, but at least we're sure that he is alive and will get development.

Zack is in BE too. Doesn't mean anything
What did people expect Kitase to say? I don't get it.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan even before Jairus shat the bed on that one.
I was fine with her character much like I'm fine with the presence of villains, or a foil to a main character. But I wouldn't like her to be suddenly at the front of the stage and steal the show.

Had Jessie been more reserved and geeky like she was in the OG with the expanded role, I would have become a fan. Now she needs to stay away.

Just because Jairus shit the bed doesn't mean you have to dislike the character. The fact a minor NPC got this far is pretty interesting to me. I'd like it if they added Biggs and Wedge too though.

While I'd be either lying or incredibly delusional to deny that the whole fiasco with Jairus took its toll on me, I don't think at any point was I ever on board with the trio surviving. I'm still firmly in the "it cheapens their death" camp.

Hmmm.... You know what, I had particularly morbid thought. I could be convinced there's a way of bringing back the trio without trivializing their sacrifice if they did something that we really haven't seen thus far in the FF7 universe: they don't just walk off their injuries. Some or all of them survive, but with lasting physical and/or mental injuries, missing limbs, the whole messed-up gritty reality that comes with serious trauma. Something that adds real gravitas to what they went through.

Yeah as far as he goes I dunno if validating somebody’s obsessions is the best thing for them, as the saying goes “you give an inch and they take a mile” but that’s neither here nor there...either way, for them to make such a hooplah over Biggs and Jessie’s deaths only to bring the former back and to tease the latter, I’m not yet convinced that it’ll be all sunshine and rainbows for them even if they do survive past their OG deaths
