In the original FF7, you stole Aerith's Striking Staff from the Eligor in the Train Graveyard, which at the time was a rare enemy, not a boss. It's the best weapon you can get for Aerith before Junon. When I encountered the Eligor in 7R, the first thing I did was Steal from it and laughed when I saw that he still had it.

AlternateNu posted:I also missed the EKG Cannon twice because you have to talk to Hart within the 2 minutes between finishing the chat with the Mayor and finding the mole which loving seriously? I missed the EKG cannon because I figured I'd have to be an idiot to pay this guy for something so trivial. I assumed he'd actually just give you a hint about the mole, thus saving you from talking to about 3 people. I also missed the the weapon Tifa gets during monkey bars, and it was really annoying because after I completed that I noticed it up there in its purple box, but once the party reassembles she refuses to climb anymore.

Swords are very good. They are even better when they are also another thing like a gun or a key.

Flopsy posted:So it's a lot of this guy is a ghoul and clearly has a fetish for loving around with monsters but gaddamn did Sephiroth gently caress Wutai UP! WELP better give him a big ol' lab and a budget and hope he strikes gold again. Out of curiosity what do you think their plan was if he uh--went a step too far? Like, for example the plot of FF7? Rufus and co. figure out Sephiroth ain't dead and has become some sort of monstrosity pretty quickly. You'd think they would bring that up with him instead of letting him off the hook to be awful on a beach. Again part of why I liked the remake a lot was the context of “actually if a city size corporation did some terrible poo poo they’d deal with it similarly” Shinra tower was such a good approximation of what an oil/tech/monsanto type company would be like if they ran a small country

East India Company and Congo Free State are two examples of actual companies running countries and indeed in both cases they are a litany of rampant, unchecked abuse and gross violations of human rights.

Abzu 1 on Hard really doesn't give you a moment to breathe huh If only I could get everybody into a Ward long enough to broadside him with six Firagas it would probably be an instant win button but instead I'm frantically running around as Tifa dodging his nonstop litany of aoe 4000+ damage moves and praying that the ai party members do likewise.

It literally just hit me why Tifa and Aerith hit it off so fast and I'm blown away. It isn't Aerith's first meeting. Assuming she has some degree of foreknowledge, for her it's just like "oh hi, bestie!" Meanwhile Tifa's politely confused but goes with it. Even characters who don't explicitly get the foreknowledge Aerith does seem to have some sort of subconscious awareness of their fate. Cloud gets flash-forwards, Wedge seems to know his time is up.

I'm still pretty confident that Cloud's flash-forwards are because of his Jenova-link to Sephiroth, who obviously has future knowledge. I don't think anyone outside of Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth is getting future info.

I don't think anyone outside of Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth is getting future info. I mean, possible. Wedge says he has a "feeling" that he's due for a reckoning, and it kind of makes sense if they're all seen as emanations of the Planet that they have a gut feeling of its intent.

I just rewatched Advent Children on a lark after a decade, and man. It is Not a Good Movie. Like, way worse than I remember. Even the movie's mix of One-Winged Angel is kind of poo poo. It is hilarious how much they hosed with Barrett. He's basically comic relief the few scenes he's in and is completely ineffectual in the fights. Even Cid does more during the fights than he does. (And I never caught it the first time that they decided to make him an oil baron. Wtf?  ) The only halfway decent idea out of that whole project was Cloud's modular sword(s). That was pretty sweet.It was interesting to see which character designs and set pieces they decided to keep for FF7R, though. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 02:07 on May 26, 2020 |

(And I never caught it the first time that they decided to make him an oil baron. Wtf? I mean the major issue with Barret is that his character arc is so incredibly over and done with and part of that arc was him eventually letting go of the anger that made him want to lash out. Him replacing his gun with a functioning arm is a big step towards that (even if the movie kinda backtracks on that) and logically he shouldn't be the most effective combat person anyone because a big part of his story is getting past being the guy who literally grafted a gun to his arm.
