At first I thought Johnny was kind of funny, until suddenly I became extremely, irreversibly sick of his poo poo, but then his storyline immediately ended, so I feel like the writers understood his role well

Oh, I don't think we've seen the last of Johnny, to be honest.

I feel like if we changed fate so far as to create an entire alternate timeline where Zack is alive, just killing Aerith as usual, even if they try to fake it out, would be pretty hack.

Yeah the whole Roche/Jessie's parents sequence was exactly what additional content should be, and it puzzles me that Roche basically disappears from the game after that point and didn't at least get a cameo in the escape from the Shinra building.

Aside from some aesthetic choices in the final chapter, the only bit of additional content I didn't care for really was the Drum. I get why they put a new mini-dungeon there, you've only just gotten Aerith back after an extended absence and Red XIII has just joined you so they should be given a chance to strut their stuff, but it totally kills the pacing. Like, Avalanche is supposed to be actively assaulting the building to buy you precious minutes to get outta there and you're just wandering around a twisted maze at a frustratingly slow pace solving door puzzles.

Not to mention the Drum is kinda where the cracks in the late-game encounter design really start to show through.

I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to avoid the part where the whackamole men just electrify the entire battlefield.

The first runthrough is basically full of moments like these, you have to remember them for hard mode because that poo poo will fry you otherwise. Stick some elemental thunder on your armor and go to town.

And see, that's kind of the issue because I'm probably not gonna do a hard mode run, so it doesn't do much for me except be super frustrating.

That was a bigger move from Nintendo than I expected, honestly. I figured they'd just not work with him again because of the NDA breaking thing, but taking the extra steps to cast someone new, re-record his lines, and patch them in is pretty big and was welcome given what a creep Chris Niosi is. It's not a ton of lines since Byleth's a silent protagonist anyway, but it's still something, and hey, Zack doesn't have a ton of lines either so :v:

The best part is that Niosi was only bragging about it because he was totally gonna be in Smash and then he doesn't get to be in Smash.

CC did a pretty good job of showcasing how a lovely corporation would actually control a living weapon, and that's by making them think they have freedom of choice when most of that is ineffectual while making them completely dependent on the corporation.

I feel like making Aerith's death an immutable part of destiny would be the most obnoxious kind of fanservice, the kind where just because it was important to the fans means they have to retroactively make it more important than it was in-universe. Like how of course Darth Vader wasn't just a fallen Jedi who served as the Emperor's attack dog while the officers mocked his religion behind his back, he was the chosen one of prophecy and a lynchpin to Sheev's plan to create the Empire. It would also be a bit weak if the remake, which has so far hemmed the characterization closer to what was actually there in the original rather than what the later Compilation implied of them, continued the dumb hack Jesusification of Aerith.

I wonder how receptive people would be with bringing in full heals after every battle from XIII, at least for Normal. With getting rid of consumables, it would focus the action more on surviving each single battle, rather than having to worry about resource management and battles of attrition through dungeons.

He's right/just in doing what he's attempting to do

This isn't the place to go in-depth about it, but this is 100% not true at all. He's given an understandable and sympathetic motivation yes, but he is still committing multiple instances of omnicide and intends to commit many more, and the game does not ever say that he is in the right for doing this. You still have to kill him, after all. Motivation does not equal justification.

Legitimately, setting up your remake so that the characters are diagetically fighting against the original plot but still going through with the most iconic plot development of the original just as you had done it in the original would be the most punk-rear end lovely writer move of all time.
