Been unironically thinking for a while that killing Cloud off at the end would be probably the one twist they could do that would be as big as the original.

Cloud and Sephiroth will both die and become the Kingdom Hearts versions of themselves Including a bit where Cloud sees fit to steal Vincent's clothes

Also I did a run through of Remake again to try and get my feel for the controls back after making Sephiroth look real bad in the Rebirth demo and the major mechanical issue I'd like addressed if for the game to stop doing a phase transition or something almost the instant I fill the stagger bar and come back out with it empty again. Let me have my drat burn phase, I played fair for it

It is an amazing genius that the Remake project has effectively made it so all the things that were surprises in the original are different surprises now. The most famous spoiler in Video Games "Aerith Dies" is now using its foreknowledge as a mystery because... well will she?! Was the point of the Whispers to throw us off? Or to set us up? Is Sephiroth still just wanting the same thing, or does he have other agenda and are there different sephiroth's still? And do they have different wants and desires? For all they showed of the game in the latest trailer they held off from answering all the questions that they raised at the end of Remake.

All the things about the Whispers was absolutely 100% necessary for SE to do what they're trying to do with this remake. Even things like Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie being actual characters is only possible to the degree it is because the defeat of fate makes it possible to believe that they'll live. That said, most of the actual scenes with the Whispers would have been improved by making them half as long, and it would have been nice if they had some actual capacity to be subtle and, like, whisper, at least at the beginning, instead of being the secret planetary agents of destiny whose primary power is to bump into you really hard.

I maintain you can save a whole lot of people's confusion about the whisper's if you change them to be called Obsidian Weapon.

Actually, now you are mentioning it… They kill Sephiroth in Forgotten City, but that was just another of those clone guys. Sephiroth reaches out from the Crater and takes over Cloud. Cloudiroth kills Aerith and flies away. Part three has Zack taking over Cloud’s role, trying to save his friend again, hopefully without killing him.

The Utada Hikaru song "Hikari" from Kingdom Hearts is good. Apparently "Passion" is also from Kingdom Hearts? It has a cool music video, like a lot of other Utada Hikaru songs. Top tier pop music.

Like Nomura decided that delving into the Keyblade War and that lore he was going to write the most psychotic poo poo in a tremendously good way. It's one of the only times the "Story goes back to an old thing only vaguely referred to." Has actively been satisfying.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but qbout how long is integrade? Never got around to playing it after how irritating I found getting ff7r from ps4 to ps5 but I want to before this comes out. Corollary: the remake save never properly transferred, will the carryover bonus work with just having a new save / doesn’t need a clear?

Remove Tifa's section and let people walk around the different exhibit rooms at their choosing instead of forcing you to go through them one by one and Shinra Tower would be fine. After the stairs/elevator it just drags inexplicably for a bit, remove that and it's good.

I would have liked it if the exhibits actually talked about the rise of the company some. No go on, tell me about how a small weapons developer founded from a twerp from FFX had a guy figure out Mako Reactors and become the world super power. Sounds kinda neat.

It’s the same universe but not the same planet EDIT: the Shinra from FFX-2 definitely started out as a joke reference but over the years and through interviews it’s basically been canonized that 7 and X are the same universe. They’re so far apart in both story and time that it doesn’t matter at all though RatHat fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Feb 13, 2024 |

It does make a kind of sense in explaining where all these non-Cetra people came from: ancient alien space colonists from Spira filling the void left by the Cetra apocalypse. Certainly makes Palmer look like more of a gently caress-up if mankind previously had the knowledge of interstellar spaceflight, lost it, and not even Shinra's bottomless resources could get it working again under his watch. Maybe they can't figure out the Spelljammer tech anymore, I dunno.

Every reference of the FFVII/X shared universe thing is done in jest, even by Kitase lmao It's a fun joke and that's it.

No I think the implication would be that the settlers WERE the Cetra(or their ancestors at least). Humans are descended from the Cetra. And yeah ancient advanced technology that no one knows how to use anymore is a staple of the series

Avoiding the demo cause I want to go in cold but did anyone happen to see if there were any accessibility options, specifically for vision? I'm guessing probably not. Also is the mini map still the same color and such?

It hit me from the demo that Cloud talks about how his conversation with his mom was the first time he'd spoken with her in two years, and the last. First off, obviously, leaving home at 14 to enlist, possibly because since his mom was a single mom he didn't want to be a burden on her, is absolutely bugfuck insane. No wonder the poor guy's so messed up. But second, he was in Nibelheim for over a week and he only had the guts to talk to her once, presumably because he was trying to hide from Tifa and the rest of the town. Oof. No wonder her death really messed him up, he could have been spending a lot more time with her if only he hadn't been so afraid!

To be clear, Cloud spent more time with her than we saw, they flash forward through multiple conversations and such. It still sucks though, especially considering that she was nothing but supportive of him.

It's slightly more overt in OG7, as you see Cloud in different places around the house, going from laying down on the bed, to sitting on some stairs and then standing next her to in the kitchen area. But I totally get that it seems like he only spoke to her once.
