a lot of FF7 fans don't actually remember the game

is it a thing now that modern "FF7 fans" are too young to have actually played FF7 and just got into it because of the dumb anime movie and the spin off games?

Arieth: penelope Cruz did anyone else imagine aeris with a Latino accent or was that just me

I remember imagining her with a cockney accent and I have no loving idea why

Cid is Kris Kistoffersen. I feel he best reflects the drinking, chain-smoking, wife-beating aspects best of any possible actor

I guess these days a $100m voice budget wouldn't be unreasonable

For a Final Fantasy game why the gently caress not, they're basically just movies now anyway

If anyone is Latino or Spanish in FF7 it is Nanaki, btw, and this is canon. Aerith... Really? What, because she lives in a slum? Your hosed up.

nanaki is a native american stand-in

I always imagined Rufus as a young guy, but PSH could probably bring him to life.

it's voice acting, you don't cast based on looks. that's why Tifa isn't played by Christina Hendricks

Tifa hasn't looked particularly athletic in any of her appearances

the only really innovative thing Final Fantasy did in its storytelling was having the main protagonist act as an unreliable narrator, but that didn't exactly become a commonly emulated thing in video game stories

also smart kids that didn't have memory cards just left the console on but turned the TV off so it could pass for inactive. I think when I first got a playstation I left it on for like 72 hours straight

The gently caress?! People had a Playstation and games but not a loving memory card?

you tell your parent you want a playstation for Christmas but neglect to mention the memory card because you're a dumb kid and think it goes without saying

I don't get why Warhammer toys are so expensive when the Dungeons and Dragons minis cost less, are somewhat larger, and come fully painted and assembled.

they have a small but dedicated fandom that functions as a cult that will buy these things no matter what

you know, like Apple
