So I'm playing through the chapters in order again, and something I still haven't wrapped my head around 100% is why in Remake, Avalanche initially decides not to take Cloud on the Reactor 5 bombing mission, versus the original, where Cloud's included on the Reactor 5 team from the beginning (if I remember right). In Remake Jessie mentions that it's because they didn't want to put so much on Cloud, that it was Avalanche's fight. Could it have been because Cloud brings up 'invisible enemies' during the train ride back from the first bombing mission, and that makes Avalanche wonder if Cloud's going crazy? That would be the only meaningful divergence that Avalanche had seen up to that point. Otherwise a lot of the differences between original and Remake can be directly or indirectly tied back to interventions by Sephiroth/the Whispers. Of course, this could have all been spelled out in one of the interviews that's been published, and I've just missed it. --- It is interesting playing through Remake from beginning to end again, having read all the additional info and interpretation that has come out in the last three months, as well as re-reading up on the original. For example, Tifa's reaction to Cloud saying it's been five years since they've seen each other, or all the times Cloud gets his cognitive dissonance headaches.

I'm continuing to re-play through the chapters, and I noticed a couple things that hadn't registered my first time through:

Onmi posted:The second time, it's because it's literally the same framing and composition of Aerith departing in the Ancient Forest. Oh dang, I never would have made that connection! That would explain why a tear rolls down his cheek, too. Man, I'm super looking forward to Part 2.
