Thinking it over, the whole Seven Seconds thing is definitely the time it took Sephiroth to kill Aerith in the original scene. I imagine with that foreknowledge, Cloud would be compelled to try a heroic save there. Which in all likelihood *would* get him killed instead. That would certainly be a thing to close a hypothetical second game on.

PsychoInternetHawk posted:Because I need to think about something in the shower, I was wondering what kind of playstyles would work for the rest of the FF7 crew. I came up with something like this: They're just the job classes or play similar to w/e the stereotypical D&D equivalent is. Cloud -- Fighter (pure attack) Barret -- Knight (fighter but more defensive ) Tifa -- Monk (Selfish DPS / small buffs) Aerith -- Summoner / Black Mage / "Geomancer" / White Mage (Mostly casting) Nanaki XIII -- Red Mage (Mixed Casting with a bit of Physical) Cait Sith -- Gambler (Direct continuation of Setzer in FF6) + Beastmaster from FF5 Cid -- Dragoon (High crit / high risk attacker) Yuffie -- Assassin / Ninja Vincent - Berserker

Yea, preventing her death seems too easy a change to make; if it is prevented I would assume Sephiroth would gain some sort of advantage afterwards. I'm also still concerned that the Whispers are being manipulated by Sephiroth or something.

Would it? As I recall, she finished the Holy summon anyway before getting killed. It just didn't work because Sephiroth was still in the Lifestream blocking it up.

He only fell into the lifestream and started blocking it after that happened. edit: Sephiroth and Cloud fell into the lifestream together.

I intentionally boxed myself out of any and all information about the remake outside of the recent E3 trailer, and I think it was the right decision. Means I didn't go in with any expectations, so I couldn't be disappointed easily. That said, getting funky with an existing game means there's the possibility of something new, which is also a very, very good thing. And also interesting.

I would have been fine with a straight-up remake. But what I got has made me more excited for future games than a straight remake would have. I still would have been excited but it wouldn't have brought any surprises.

Caidin posted:Out of curiosity, am I the only around here who didn't even get really interested in the Remake until the grapevine leaked they were gonna get funky with it? Definitely not. What I remember about playing FFVII when I was 14 was that the characters and subplots in each town were a lot of fun -- Red XIII learning about his dad, run-ins with the Turks, Golden Saucer, etc. -- but that the overarching plot around Meteor/Holy, Jenova, the Cetra...basically anything involving Sephiroth, was incomprehensible garbage. So the Remake where they've kept all the good character stuff but are playing around with everything else is right up my alley.

The direction this is heading is exactly what I was hoping for, and I have to say if Aerith still ends up dying after all kinds of rigamarole and making us fall double in love with all these characters I will PISS.

Aerith living might mean Sephiroth doesn't get the Black Materia in the first place which means no Meteor at all. Of course then what happens to the last chunk of the game is anyone's guess.
