The wealthy fly in on helicopters. Macaluso posted:Too hot  If we're talking post-FFVII, then I'd consider Nibelheim. Free real estate now that all the creepy reunion dudes are gone, plus you've got the Gold Saucer just over the mountain for your earthly desires and Cosmo Canyon to the south for your spiritual needs. That mansion will probably still need an exorcist, but hey, nowhere is perfect. Bean posted:The rest of the party staring wide eyed while coital screams come out of a robot moogle/cat. This game defined a generation. Or staring in confusion as all they hear is "Finishing Touch!" and "Final Heaven!"

Icicle Inn seems like the most pleasant place. I like the long quiet winters. Nice views too.

So like, does Dio work for Shrinra or is he an independently wealthy prick to decided the best place to build his casino park was over a recently annihilated mining town controlled by a murderous loon? It's loving suspended a couple hundred feet in the air so it seems like he could have built it anywhere he drat well pleased. And was your initial stop seriously the first time Dyne ever climbed up the pipes and got his murder on? Was he somehow an unknown quality? I really want to see how the remake approaches that whole scenario.

I realise it's the theme of the game but is every other town in FF7 a big platform that the rich live on while everyone else is in a literal hole full of poo poo underneath? Midgar, Junon, Gold Saucer / Corel and I'm sure I've missed at least one other.

Scalding Coffee posted:Gold Saucer is an amusement park. It's the same kind of idea though The wealthy and well to do go up and party and spend their Professor Land Fun Bucks (which only they can afford to by), while everyone below suffers. Hell, Dio without thinking declares Cloud and Co guilty and throws them into the prison. No fair trial, no due process, just "You did this didn't you, you filthy riff-raff. Off to jail you go!"

Scalding Coffee posted:Gold Saucer is an amusement park. It's an amusement park literally built on top of the old Corel, the one burned down and massacred by Shinra. It certainly fits with the theme. A lot of people used to be weird Midgar Onlyists who insisted the game lost a lot of its quality and thematic power once you leave Midgar. But we never stop seeing the atrocities of Shinra even as we are ostensibly going after Sephiroth and forgetting all about Shinra.

There's cool parts, and there's also boring parts where nothing really happens. Like Red and Barret both have their own big focus segments which you will enjoy if you like those characters, but if they were benchwarmers then you won't really care because they're self-contained segments that have no greater plot impact.

Loveless is from a band called My Bloody Valentine which is why you see both texts together in the posters in Midgar

Don't forget the terrifying ancient vampire gods; Santana, Wham and Cars. Edit: one of the low key interesting things about Jojo is tracking the author's growing and changing musical taste over time. Like you can tell he really only got into rap around the time he was writing part five.

Vichan posted:Everything between Kalm and Junon is so meaningless that I'm actually surprised it's in the game at all. I think Kalm is somewhat important because it shows that while Kalm itself isn't immediately falling apart, it's starting to decline because of Shinra's influence (as evidenced by the majority of the town's able-bodied population occupying the bar and drowning their sorrows). It's also a decent breather after the wall-to-wall Constant Happenings from Midgar, and it's good for expositioning about Cloud's history with Sephiroth. There's also Fort Condor, which has decent significance to the overall narrative of Shinra Bad (even though a lot of players bounced off of it because Optional Minigame With Timed Events). The Chocobo Ranch sequence is pretty much entirely a waste of time, though.
