Dont judge me, I design your manhole
So I finally sat down and finished the story to this. My God that went places at the end and I don't know how I really feel about all that. Before the game came out I accepted that the game was not the same as the original Final Fantasy 7. After playing though it through, it feels like they added in the climax out of obligation than anything else to be honest. I was mostly alright with the whispers most of the game since they were kind of like a manifestation of the life steam, but having a... Climactic? Battle against them at what felt like a really random place rubbed me the wrong way. I think I'd be more on board with this stuff if they had simply shoved it in later.

It feels like they've essentially blown their load on this concept already, so I really hope they dial it back for future games. Not so much about changing the plot because of fighting back against fate, but the actual big battle against... Whatever that was. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't emotionally checked out like a third of the way into that fight.

I did fulfill my promise and kill Sephiroth with a Mr Hugglesworth though, that's the most important thing.

Do any skills/spells actually deal Fixed or Proportional damage? Or are they exclusive to items?

Johnny becoming the final boss would be either amazing or horrible.

Johnny should be a sans undertale type deal where you fight the alternate timeline version of him that tried to join soldier instead of cloud or whatever

Also, episode 3 prediction: Scotch and Kotch somehow make it on board the Highwind. When Tifa and Cloud boink while the rest of the party is watching from the airship, they narrate the whole thing like the Coliseum matches.

Alternate episode 3 prediction: right as Cloud and Tifa are about to get intimate, Rude runs up carrying a printer.

Gold Saucer minigames now have in-world multiplayer, and your opponent is always Johnny because it's not like he has anything better to do

By the time you get to the Gold Saucer, Johnny has figured out that he can play Golf Saucer arcade games all day and get enough GP to stay at the hotel. He lives there now as a professional arcade game player.

When the cloak comes off, you see that he's in Lulu's dress.

...for one shot, and then the rest of the fight you can only see him from the chin up.

Calling it here, part 2 Rufus will join as a guest star party member for the JENOVA fight on the Junon ship. And it will be awesome.

I think it's funny that Tifa's "sporty" dress is both more mature and exotic than those options

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
From what I heard, the Japanese word used for "mature" in that scene has a connotation as "sexy" or "provocative".
But the fact that she picks Mature by default, presumably got the stuff for a date with Cloud initially, and wears the earrings that symbolize "wanting to be by someone's side forever" is very sweet.

I hope Roche shows up in the Gold Saucer as a Chocobo racer. Better yet he still has his motorcycle and you have to beat him with a Chocobo.

I literally scream laughed when read the part about him getting farther along with Cloud than the official love interests of the game. Also...uh...that wall of text was scarily accurate not gonna lie.

No, he rides a chocobo, but does stunts and poo poo on it just like his bike.
