Randalor posted:If you're referring to what I said about if they had an alternate plot line of AVALANCHE vs Shinra, Aeris staying alive would be more due to there being no Sephiroth to shiskabob her. I mean, you could just have her arbitrarily killed off partway through. I'm remembering that terrible film The Time Machine (the remake) and how his wife dies no matter what he does, and implementing a series of events where Aeris dies, so you reload and get her past that obstacle, only for her to die in another way, reload and get her past that one, etc etc etc with the final death being something utterly ridiculous like her dying of a heart attack and her last words being 'I'm MEANT to die, jackass'

Yeah, I managed to read that whole thing last night and a bunch of the comments. I'm... hmm. I know it's silly, but I can't help but agree with a few of the points making sense, though I imagine the real explanation is "gaps in the writing". Stuff like Squall's sudden love interest in Rinoa and her's in him, despite her starting out being head over heels for Seifer and him being pretty neutral and to my knowledge having no internal dialog expressing interest in her Fun read anyway.

Why in the gently caress would a remake have new characters? It isn't a sequel, prequel, or spin-off so... That being said, i totally wouldn't mind having a few of the existing characters become playable at some point, maybe in mini-games. I mean, c'mon, who wouldn't love a turk-centric gold saucer night? Not only would they be hilariously stalking cloud on his date, they could be having a good time while remaining absolutely in character. Not to mention a whole love-polygon revolving around Elena.

I imagine the only real change, if any, is that Yuffie will join the party earlier so that you can have an easier time wooing her for the Golden Saucer date (at the very least, Yuffie and Vincent can't be optional characters this time around). I'd be great if everyone was fair game for the date though. Imagine a date with Cid

They should replace Cait Sith's moogle with Mog from VI. Eventually he gets pissed off, dumps the cat off the side of the Highwind, and you get a second Dragoon. e: and then you can find Umaro in the mountains or something McDragon fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Jun 24, 2015 |

"[X} is dead/dying/dreaming" is probably the most over used, and under thought through fan conspiracy trope out there, but I have to admit, this guy makes a pretty good case. I don't even see any weird random details made up that the usual "is dead" theory always seems to include.

It doesn't make that much sense for the narrative for her to be in Midgar (anything can change though), and there isn't even that much opportunity to get points between leaving Midgar to post-Mythril Mines. It would be doubly hilarious to go on a date with Cait only to see him jumping away with the Keystone while Cloud went to the restroom or something.

Pretty sure that Midgar has an ample supply of materia given that it's the headquarters of the company with a monopoly on the energy that makes the stuff. Hell, even the slums of Midgar have materia!

They've kind of been Square's thing since they really sold the wow-factor of pretty FMVs in the 90s, but even they must be realizing the the shrinking graphical boost just isn't worth the inconveniences at this point.

Yuffie has good reason to hate Shinra too and is stupid enough to try to pull some kind of con against them in Midgar. If I had to put her in the early game, I'd have the gang run into her while sneaking around the Shinra building.
