I just want to add that Marle is definitely Future Marlene.
I think after too much energy spent on being cynical about everything, I’m at a point where I really don’t care if a story doesn’t go the way I hope as long as it does what it wants to do well enough. Honestly, and this is by no means meant to downplay anybody else’s feelings, but FF7R could turn out to be an absolute mess and I’ll be fine. Disappointed, maybe, but my attitude will always come back to the very simple point that the OG still exists. If the last few years of gaming have proven anything, it’s that sometimes things just don’t go our way. Hell, that’s probably the most valuable life lesson I took away from FF7.On the surface it is innocent enough, and I agree it's pretty natural, but the insidious side of things is the biases people form along the way. The Attack on Titan fandom is what really put me off to it, but even here I feel like people's already negative feelings will be magnified by other people's increasingly ridiculous galaxy-brained takes. In the long run it creates a more hostile environment, as people who already had low opinions of what Square is doing will just assume worse with time, and what should be a fun way to pass the time becomes something pretty dour and stressful.
To be fair, Cid is literally sleeping when he's nominated to be the party's leader. And when he is leader, nothing significant happens to him character development-wise. As for Tifa, she's party leader for such a brief time that it's more of a footnote.
All I saw there were song lyrics so I figured I’d join in on the fun lolWhat the hell XD
Well it would definetly make more senseBased on what I remember, it would be more fitting to have that be a one on one battle with Cid. Or at least have him as a mandatory party member in the battle
Tbh i think the fucked up fact that it is hojo makes sephiroths madness more understanable...i mean seeing your own child as a research subject is kinda....idkWill they finally make it clear that Vincent is Sephiroth's father?
Maybe in the research logs? He read about jenova and i cna see hojo write something like "i produces a fitting specimen. He goes by the name sephiroth" or something like that. He doesnt care at all about sephiroth besides his research so why care about his feelings at all?The question is....did Roth even know Hojo was the father when he snapped in Nibelheim? Never been able to find any real answer for that, but it seems like he didn't know.
Maybe the planet itself? He thought he was a cetra after all,right?I've always assumed he didn't know based on Hojo's "Sephiroth would die if he knew." I do wonder who he THOUGHT was his father, though, that made him laugh ruefully in Nibelheim.
