Second game introduces a new girl who doesn't quite fit the dynamic and disrupts the flow in interesting ways, then in the third game she ends up being the one to finally help Cloud break these cycles of final fantasies.

my guess: this next game will be the entire remaining content of OG FF7... all of it.

The third game is going to be entirely new content and will be batshit insane in ways we cannot comprehend

Rebirth is just all of what's left of FF7. Part 3 is playable Advent Children.

I wanna know what makes Tifa actually mention that as far she knows Cloud was never there, in the original she held onto to that card until Sephy forced the issue

Yeah, I think the original Kalm scene she's like "..." while Cloud tells his story, and then says something about how maybe her wounds caused her to black out.

She's spent additional time becoming besties with Aerith and now trusts her enough to open up to her about her worries of either herself or cloud being potentially insane.

I'd rather have her more proactively question Cloud's narrative compared to the original FF7 anyhow.

At the announcement trailer last year you had this exchange

Cloud: "When I saw you lying there, I figured it was too late."

Tifa: "Wait, what are you implying? That I died? That I'm some kind of imposter?"

So maybe both of them are gonna get mindfucked. Maybe Cloud actually was a Soldier First Class. Maybe it's time to lose our loving minds and drink paint

"What parts of Nibleheim were real or not" is a big part of the original game and I just kinda get the feeling the game's just leaning more heavily into that (which is real cool because Cloud's identity and memory issues and everything stemming from that are the best parts of FF7) which isn't really a departure from the og at all imo.

Because 7R spent more time developing the characters than original Midgar you get a lot more foreshadowing of Cloud's deal so I think Rebirth trying to add some doubt to Tifa's side of the story is good way to keep the mystery going for new players despite them having more context and insight into Cloud than in the original game and it also can confuse things and add some intrigue for us returning players. Its a change that I think is really in keeping with the ideas and themes of the original game and I think its a super smart move.

If the plot ghosts really are dead and canon has ceased to exist then maybe we have multiple mutually exclusive plot beats/timelines starting to merge! C'mon SE let's get wierd

The original game came on 3 discs

Rookie numbers, clearly. Gotta triple that, minimum.

Between parts 1 and 2, we're already at 4 discs for the whole remake. Surely we'll hit at minimum 6 discs total with part 3.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Wasn't the entire game present on each disc, and they only needed 3 to fit all the FMVs?

I need to resume Intergrade sometime soon.

I am impressed that the Remake/Rebirth team not only understands what made the original good, but doubles down on it with its own bits of intrigue.

They'll only truly show they understand what made the original good if we get a dolphin bounce minigame to get into Junon and then a parade marching minigame.

Maximilian Dood speculates that Rebirth covers all events up to the summoning of Meteor, and that ReThree starts with the execution.

I've heard that theory, and it definitely makes a lot of sense. The whole execution sequence could work really well as the first 1-2 hours of the game and then you've got the Normandy Highwind and the real game starts.

Yeah, getting the band back together after Meteor's been in the sky for a bit, forming a rescue for Tifa, followed by submarines, rockets, kaiju battles, North Coral, Mideel, lifestream, perhaps Wutai, etc

I don't think they'll have any shortage of content.

So obviously the full scene will probably have a bit more pre amble to it in the game than just the tiny bit we saw but I feel like it'll be weird if the party just let the Turks do their intro of their new member without trying to interrupt them or fight. Like they should all be shoot/punch on sight for Barret, Aerith and Tifa at the very least cause of all the mass murder they very much helped carry out.

Looking forward to half a year of amusing theories by the "they won't change anything" crowd, who think all the Zack stuff is a pre-mortem hallucination and that the Arbiters of Fate at the end of the game were simply testing if the party was ready to play out the plot exactly as in 1997.

They did in the original where the Turks killed way more people because there was no evacuation
