lih posted:who dies and who is the killer in the forgotten city are both randomised per save file and the timeline nonsense implications aren't revealed until part 3 Part 3 features a replayable cluedo minigame. I watched the trailers attached to the game while downloading InterMission. I hadn't seen some of these before. The parts that stood out were, Sepiroth trying to convince Cloud that Tifa is a Jenova clone based on his (probably legitimate) belief that he killed her at the Niblehiem reactor Sepiroth saying the Reunion is where realities merge. (Which probably had relevance to Zack's continued existence) Zack speaking with Biggs who seems to think that all of his Avalanche chapter is dead. I assume Zack will probably respond, "I was supposed to be dead too." And Zack speaking with Marlene while Cloud is lying asleep on a chair, Marlene tells him that Aerith is going to be killed.

my favorite ff7 development thing is that in the earliest drafts of the script the black-robed figures were actually going to be Jenova's floating disembodied limbs and head

Eventually he'd just be a floating heart

DalaranJ posted:Sepiroth saying the Reunion is where realities merge. (Which probably had relevance to Zack's continued existence) This part is interesting to me because Sephiroth says something different in two different trailers. In one, he describes the Reunion as "when worlds merge." In the most recent trailer, he describes the Reunion as "when spite and sorrow are harvested to feed the Planet." Makes me wonder how those fit together.

Maybe their car crashes or something "Man, that guy we got the ride from really drove a hard bargain, I can't believe we had to trade all our materia, weapons and various potions just to get in the car". Then he shows up as an optional boss with a mech made from all the weapons stuck together with all the materia jammed in it, much later in the game.

ImpAtom posted: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. My impression was that clearly remembering those interactions would just directly conflict with his "constructed reality," so his mind skipped past them. triple sulk posted:Performance mode is getting graphical improvements that will be in the update on the 21st (and the full game, obviously).

So, in Kingdom Hearts Nomura ALWAYS puts some explanation as to why Sora loses all his godlike abilities and power for the start of the new game. What is the explanation for why Cloud and co. won't be roided out at the start?

They leveled up like 10 times in Shinra Tower but then lost those levels after the adrenaline wore out. Sephiroth stole most of the parties materia and gear while they were on their way out of the final boss dimension, to pawn for hair product money. Tifa spent all of the parties gil in Kalm, on the most expensive shower in town.

What is the explanation for why Cloud and co. won't be roided out at the start? Any gain in power over the course of Remake can very easily (and reasonably) be attributed to "gameplay abstraction," since it doesn't logically make any sense for Cloud/Barrett/etc's combat ability to significantly increase over the court of their Midgar adventures. Like there aren't any actual story events that directly impart power to the characters, so levels/stats/equipment is all just gameplay abstraction.

They beat up a bunch of monsters and houses and pick up sick loot/xp which is how most JRPG characters get more powerful. Presumably they'll also be going from flinging firagas to barely scraping a fire together. Almost all of it can be explained by Yuffie robbing them though.

I’m guessing it’ll only summon Arthur, Lancelot, and Gawain(the last 3) at most and the other 10 will join for the ultimate attack.

I cant wait to see how they reimagine the weapon fights. Make them a set piece where if you've like, done the KotR side quest they're just summoned at the start of a Weapon fight and running interference while you're trying to get close enough to do damage. In my head I'm imagining the person spinning the spear at the top of the ocean so that there's a vortex to the bottom around you while you're fighting Emerald and that's how you get around a time limit for air.

My theory about the Weapons is that they'll be moved from Optional to Mandatory and tied to the Huge Materia questlines.

RatHat posted:Weren't Ruby and Emerald the only optional ones? Ultima was optional as well. Edit: In fact, as released: The original release ONLY had Ultimate Weapon, the rest were regulated to cutscenes and were entirely non-fightable. International/The US release added a mandatory Diamond Weapon fight and optional Emerald and Ruby fights Sapphire has always been regulated to cutscene only.
