SPOILERS LTD Remake — It's like New Coke except ... no, it's exactly like New Coke

[Sacky]

We'd be waiting another while for the game if this was the case, but I'd have definitely preferred it.

Not neccesarily if they kept NC as the ending i think we could have cut out a lot of side content and had more story focus, They could have cut out a lot of stuff if we are being honest especially corel prison that entire chapter could have been removed since it was just do quests as only cloud then race. But if northern crater was the ending we wouldn't have to include so much in the open world to fill in the time

Ehh maybe, but I do prefer keeping NC in the same game as the LS sequence because the two instances are tied together.

They certainly could’ve included it by cutting stuff out but I’d want the NC to have maybe 2 chapters worth because we also have the Professor Gast tapes that I’d want to be mandatory viewing and the journey up to NC shouldn’t be rushed IF they’re using the much laughed at tone shift to show the rift between everyone’s grief and Cloud’s mental state.

It's hardly going to be satisfying if it's ambiguous. Another reason for some people out there to start buckling up.

In my opinion, you shouldn't read too much between the lines.

The end of FF7 OG is pretty bare-bones.

You finish the final battle, see the team leave the crater, wait on the bridge of the ship and then the meteor collides with the LS.

And then a glimpse of the world 500 years later (= the planet isn't destroyed).

Our characters have no conclusion. I think what he's saying is that they're simply going to expose what really happens to our team after the final battle. Like pretty much... every Final Fantasy since FF7.

That's what they mean by "satisfying". We never said goodbye to our characters. Their answer is pretty clear to me.

As for what we were talking the other day :

Oh yeah I'm not but you know what the internet are gonna take from this. Aerith surviving, Aerith and Zack surviving, Sephiroth redeemed all that crap

Of course, but the "romance" not being ambiguous plays a part in the satisfaction of the ending.

Given, the bar is really low.

I'll be the first to complain if they go the status-quo route.

 

[abzy1200]

Status-quo is still Cloti, it's just less obvious. As it stands I can't see it happening that they don't show it clearly.

It is Cloti for us. But not for everyone. So I don't want Status-quo either.

No more LA/HA Under the Highwind. No more "Maybe I can see her there" bs.

Just go full "explain to me as if I was 5 years old" route.

Just make it clear for the maximum of people. The antis will always hate. Don't mind them.

 

[nars305]

I'll be the first to complain if they go the status-quo route.

I’ll be the second.

Ambiguity is interesting, sometimes it’s even still satisfying. Like the end of the movie Inception. However, I’d hope the remake will be clear on its own. I don’t want to have to piece it together with novels. Give the characters what they deserve, and give me what I’m waiting for, FULL THROTTLE ROMANCE. Let these three games speak for themselves.

So far, Nojima has been absolutely truthful about his conviction to make things "less up for interpretation this time around".

There is no need to be worried, it would be a lot harder to skirt around the LS and what it means with voice acting and actual 3d models and animations to go with them. By then it will be absolutely obvious to even the most unwilling to accept it.

I’ll be the second.

I'll be patient zero.

I really wonder if it ever gets to his ears, how you must feel when you validate and propose a scene where Cloud kisses Tifa or a scene where they're one-on-one and you're not too discreet with the "sexual tension" undertones and one of the reactions you see is people drawing red lines to prove that it didn't really happen or that it was a rape.

Like. I'd be so sick of it. Even when you're as unambiguous as possible it's not enough. It must still be frustrating.

 

[abzy1200]

where they're one-on-one and you're not too discreet with the "sexual tension" undertones

Actually, to my surprise, they had Tifa wrap her legs around one of Cloud's in the train roll scene. I already thought it was an intimate scene, but it actually could get more obvious lmao, just needed a freecam to fully see the "sexual tension" on display. Now someone show them.

They’ve been pretty blatant from the beginning tbf, it’s just that any Cloud and Aerith 1:1 is automatically interpreted as everlasting love… when they met an hour ago.

Part 3 needs to be pretty upfront with Cloud and Tifa for the overall discourse to finally stop with the frustrating “it’s up to player choice/interpretation” middleground.

Highwind scene needs to be the most sledgehammer to the face, Cloud and Tifa are together you nerds scene

Nah, The Lifestream Sequence has got to be the sledgehammer, then the rest will come naturally.

God, I am going to feel so vindicated come part 3.

3rd return to Cosmo Canyon is probably going to be mandatory this time around, make that three hammers with them cuddled up next to each other around the fire.

The all mighty three shoe beating? No mortal can possibly wield such raw destructive might.

Considering how thick it’s been laid on with these two during what’s supposed to be a tense period between them… I’m thinking Highwind’s high affection version will be standard.

The question is...just how high affection?

Why is one of the talking points i keep seeing on Twitter That this ship is more popular in Japan or this ship is only popular in USA. Or this ship is more popular in Europe and Japan Its impossible to determine how popular a ship is in a country for a videogame, so where on earth are people finding evidence for these claims? I hope people who only got into this fandom because they want a teen drama story love triangle and care about nothing else will just leave when part 3 is out

I mean, the kiss between Cloud and Tifa kinda went viral in the gaming sphere but yeah those statistics seem easy to cheese.

They are lying is where they are finding it. It's basically been a cope for 20 years or more. The WacDonald's interview as a glorious example of the lie.

As far as I recall, "pairing" polls are very rare compared to character polls, and the only one I can remember anything about in detail had Zack and Aerith is like the far and away winner for FF7?

This is funny XD devs saying that the interviewer claiming Tifa was the best means people will send the interviewer angry DM's
i do wonder how much they actually see on twitter of the discourse
