Love it, chewie! Glad Clessie's getting some notice. And Ody, there's not much I can do about that shot. I wish it could work like you said, but that's the best I can do. The shot's already at 1080p, and I don't think 4k would show much more.

Yeah I figured. That really does look like it though, but I'm not sure the angle it's sitting at makes sense. Put that on the "maybe" pile.
 

Jairus

Thought so. It's not clear enough to be certain, and the angle is a little odd like you said.

I've seen that before, but it's nice to know some us weren't the only ones ahead of the curve. :mon:

I can imagine in one of the trailers for FF7R Part 2 a shot of Cloud (and maybe the others) getting cornered by some Shinra troops only for an explosion to clear away the enemies. And walking through the aftermath would be someone in an Avalanche-style outfit like we saw in Chapter 4 with the face concealed. Then the person stops, takes off the mask, shakes out her hair, and we see it's Jessie grinning at the camera. She'd say something like, "Hi, guys! Miss me?"

I didn't know I needed glasses Jessie until right now. I wonder what remake Shera will look like...

Very nice!
Who knows, maybe she'll have some when/if she comes back for Part 2. That's be a cool twist on her character. And in Reflections, she wears them during her Shinra days, too.

Just hold on tight, okay?
she officially reached a million views.

for perspective, no other 7R videos i can find has a million views yet. the most popular cloud and aerith video have around 100k views and cloud and tifa have 800k, but there's no million views for either.* the cloud and aerith/tifa videos were released in the same time frame as the jessie video, yet she's the only one with a million views. and of course, jessie is practically a new character. so the writers should be patting theirselves on the back on what they did with jessie, because they certainly succeeded. so, this is a really big deal and i hope S/E is taking notes on this, so we can finally get our jessie/avalanche merch!

*(i'm not saying, "Look Jessie is better because these girls are lower than her!" jessie is best girl imo, but i'm not crapping on aerith or tifa. i'm simply amazed that they're some of the main characters but a practically new one has more views than them. that's all.)

That's awesome that her video got that many views. I like the other girls, but Jessie to me represents a refreshing new angle to the age-old LTD, one that I hope SE keeps around. Tifa's basically just a walking trope - the old "childhood friends must become lovers" thing. I like her, but that is what she is. And I'd rather us be able to have a chance to defy that trope if we want to, and not merely through Aerith since she's inevitably bound to her fate.
But if Jessie returns, she'd be able to give us that option even after Aerith is gone. We could still have a choice as to who Cloud's heart belongs to. I just watched the plate collapse scene in the remake again, and the tower does not get destroyed. It remains intact. Which means the possibility that Jessie could be alive is even stronger since she could've been found up there and brought back to Sector 5 to be treated. Getting past the gap in the stairs wouldn't be too much of a problem, and if rescue workers knew that there could be a survivor up above them, they'd find a way to do it.

Can you show that the tower didn't fall?

I've been wondering if I should make a twitter. I'm no fan of social media, but I think my art has a pretty limited reach as it is now...

Here we go. I've circled the tower in each of these shots, the last of which is the last time we see it during the collapse scene. In every instance, not only is it still standing, it's not even on fire.

Stuff is coming down around the tower, but the tower itself seems pretty much undamaged.

it depends on what you'd use the twitter for, imo. btw, jairus, sometimes i use your screens on twitter. is credit mandatory or should i just credit when i can?

Well, you can if you want. I appreciate you asking me. They belong to the game and SE, really. I just capped them. But I wouldn't mind if you credited me with doing that.

I'm in the same boat as you. I dislike having multiple social media accounts. But, if you want to get your work out there, ya gotta bite the bullet. Look into the RAW showcase for your city. I did last year, and it was really cool. I sold one painting and about 10 prints (not bad for my first one)

Well, except for the fact that she never did get that starring role she wanted.
But hopefully in Part 2 she'll come back and have a much larger part so she can have that very thing.
