stev posted:Eh as someone who loved it and is excited to see more I don't think it's an invalid point. People had certain expectations and Square didn't do anything to temper them (since they wanted to avoid spoilers). On one hand, I get your point, but on the other, people who have played FFVII OG and are aware of the EU stuff to any extent shouldn't have been surprised by some of that stuff making it into the remake. I only read The Kids Are Alright last year when it was finally translated into English and absolutely loved it that Kyrie and Leslie made it into the remake. I might be in the minority but I really want to see a lot of the EU stuff shown in future installments of the remake. As long as the main story stays the same (and why wouldn't it?) then Square Enix can give me as much extra poo poo as they want.

Rhonne posted:If they find a way to add in Dirge of Cerberus material and make it actually good, then that would be an award worthy achievement. I thought they were doing that when you go into the underground research lab underneath Sector 7 but instead of calling it Deepground they were just like "oh it's a secret Shinra testing place"

Ainsley McTree posted:Oh was Kyrie a pre-existing character from EU stuff? I assumed she was yuffie in disguise Her and Leslie are characters in one novel that a lot of people don't know about which was released a few years back but only translated to English and released officially in 2019. It's set after the events of FFVII but before Advent Children and it's pretty good.

Himuro posted:Nitpicks aside, this was an incredible game.... This is a really, really good post and I feel like i'm in the same boat for a lot of it. After playing the remake I now WANT to play RPGs again. I WANT to get sucked into a story and to get slightly obsessed about it. The only game other than FFVII to do that to me back when I was a teenager was Chrono Trigger and to an extent, FFVIII.

BaDandy posted:I could see four total, just so we can catch up to the City of the Ancients before going onto the other two discs. It's worth pointing out that Nomura has said this first installment being restricted to Midgar isn't a sign that they'll be padding out future releases. I expect Part 2 to finish at Temple of The Ancients, probably ending as Aerith leaves to go to the Forgotten City as that's a nice cliffhanger of sorts. Part 3 will begin with Aerith's death early on and be the rest of the game. From replaying FFVII so many times, apart from the Kalm Flashback (which they can skip entirely and just give us a cutscene of the whole thing) the first disc is actually pretty brief. Disc 3 of the original game is essentially just the final dungeon.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I can't picture them keeping Yuffie as a missable character you just pick up randomly. I assume they will use her introduction to create deeper hooks into the expanded Wutai storyline I still believe the next part will open with Yuffie stealing all your Materia (you don't get it back when she joins your party because reasons)

Harrow posted:There were a lot more problems with the EU than that. Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus have some absolutely bugfuck stories, and not really in a good way. And then there's the one anime that retconned Cloud flinging Sephiroth off a bridge in Nibelheim as Sephiroth just jumping off on his own. To be fair, they did change that silly retcon back in Crisis Core.

BaDandy posted:I have such a vivid memory of seeing that specific scene at an anime con when I first went to college. It was playing on a CRT in a dealer's room and I stopped to look, and I had a vague understanding that this was from FFVII because Sephiroth was there, and he was the Final Fantasy Anime Bad Man With a Sword. The only Final Fantasy related thing I had gotten to play up til that point was Tactics Advance, and then Kingdom Hearts. And then I saw Advent Children at anime club, because all my friends were really excited about it and they did not know that I haven't played the original. I still don't get the hate for Advent Children. Personally I think it's a solid movie with great action sequences and the characterization for the most part makes perfect sense. I'm glad that Square Enix have said it's the final sequence in the Compilation, although we'll see about that after all parts of the remake are done, I guess.

Harrow posted:I wonder if they could go full FFX with it and let you swap out party members during combat, maybe make it something that costs an ATB bar to do. Then they could do away with the "we should split up but we're all going the same way and also we can call each other on the PHS to switch around" artifice and just have everyone traveling together. Barret's line in the original always gets me. "'Sides, we can't have 5 people strolling down the fields. It's too dangerous." DUDE WTF ONE OF YOU HAS A MASSIVE FUCKOFF SWORD AND YOU YOURSELF HAVE A loving MACHINE GUN FOR AN ARM, YOU'LL BE FINE

Harrow posted:It definitely looks siller in Crisis Core when you can see it all with cinematic camera angles and stuff. I always took Sephiroth's inability to just let go of his sword as him being completely dumbfounded by the fact that the lowly Shinra grunt he just stabbed could be strong enough to lift him into the air.

LiefKatano posted:Can confirm. I paid 3000 gil for the best hand massage (even though I felt like it was a really bad choice because money was relatively tight; mostly because I leaned on items because I suck at action RPGs), and I still got Sam's set of quests. I did all the sidequests in Ch8, Chose "heads" on the coin toss, paid 3000 gil to Madam M and then was given her sidequests. After doing those I got the best dress for Cloud and the best dress for Aerith. How do you ensure you do Sam's sidequests? Just pay for the cheapest massage?

Cavelcade posted:So here's a question for the thread I still don't have an answer for myself after playing through a second time. It's easily missable but if you look to the side of his desk there's a big hole in the window, chances are when Sephiroth initially attacked Shinra HQ he was blown through the window and over the ledge.

Flopsy posted:Yeah I remember that. God that's lame. I'm not usually one to nitpick about changes but that just takes a huge chunk of the the motivation out of Cloud and Sephiroth's history. Cloud not actually overpowering him just shits up why Sephiroth would have a vendetta against him. Luckily Square apologized for that and reversed it in Crisis Core.

romanowski posted:I started replaying OG ff7 and was surprised to find out that Johnny wasn't an original character for the remake. I don't think I've noticed him before lol The translation in OG FFVII is so bad regarding Johnny that it misleads the player into thinking he was childhood friends with Cloud and Tifa when in fact he's just a loner from Sector 7 who developed a crush on Tifa while drinking in Seventh Heaven and then getting jealous of Cloud when he arrives, leaving Midgar to start a new life. He was also originally supposed to get jealous of Cloud staying at Aerith's house and was going to call him out on it regarding Cloud's relationship with Tifa.

BaDandy posted:I only have one brain cell, so I can only think SEPHIROTH DANCE MINI GAME AT THE GOLDEN SAUCER. Sephiroth didn't go to the Gold Saucer, that was a Sephiroth Clone. Reminder that in North Corel he's described by one of the residents as a "young man around your (Cloud's) age" and he had a tattoo on the back of his hand. EDIT - Also something rather chilling, the two children in one of the houses in Nibelheim in Cloud's flashback, the boy repeats (or rather, tries to) everything his sister says. When you visit Nibelheim, upstairs in one of the houses there are two miniature Sephiroth Clones... Dell_Zincht fucked around with this message at 16:07 on May 10, 2020 |

Does Tifa say anything if she is in there? http://letao.is-a-geek.net/ff7script/part11.html#sx4 She doesn't really say anything particularly interesting, she's just confused like Cloud. A fun thing you can do though is not recruit Yuffie until Tifa becomes party leader. If you do that Yuffie calls her "Boobs" lol

RareAcumen posted:Wedge potentially might have survived depending on if his grapple gun broke when he was falling off the plate tower or if it just lost its grip while he was hurtling to the ground, I can't remember how that went. Isn't it implied that Wedge got blown out of a window and fell to his death? I think only Biggs survived, and he's probably going to have amnesia so he won't remember anything going forward.
