Just beat it. Loved the game but like many was thrown by them doing a reimagining in the last hour. Not like Japanese media doesn’t do these a lot but it’s usually obvious sooner That said I do not think Zack is alive and will meet the party and it’s just me but it’s never explained why cloud sees a flash forward of aerith dying right? Aerith and Sephiroth also 100% know what’s going on. Not sure if they did this before or what

Funky Valentine posted:It's part of Sephiroth's plan to get the party to get rid of TIME GHOST PROBLEMS for him. It's presented with no context so Cloud assumes that keeping time ghosts alive is what will cause it. Man around the time I saw they changed the Jenova boss to “Dreamweaver” I was like no they are NOT pulling an FFX style you are a dream are they Especially since dream aerith said something like don’t fall in love because it’s not real

As incredible as the 16 minute remix of motorcycle song was, it was absolute bullshit roche did not show up again. I grew to love him so quickly Also is everyone complaining they blew the sephiroth fight forgetting that in the original FF7 he is a screen spanning super boss that takes multiple parties to defeat and then his next form was an angel with like 8 wings

It’s amazing how little of the game I actually seem to remember I knew you return to midgar on a parachute I remember diamond weapon and lasers I remember fighting Hojo directly But all of this stuff in my mind was not related

I really messed up and in the replay where I did all quests I didn’t get the elemental materia and then I chapter selected out and now it’s not there anymore Everything I read about Hard is “ok so I hope you have both elemental materia”

Proteus Jones posted:Arcane Ward is *just* this side of almost OP, and I love it so much. I spend time making sure it's up almost all the time. In hard mode I'd rather have two 1st level spells fire off for single mana cost than 2nd or 3rd most of the time. But I tend to be super miserly when it comes to casting vs. Abilities in Hard Mode. So far in hard mode a double casted thundara is actually ridiculously strong and does more damage than limit breaks I dunno if I did something wrong or magic ups are actually that busted

BaDandy posted:At some point way later in the remake, instead of going into the Northern Crater where Sephiroth gives Cloud and Tifa that vision, the game fakes out a force quit, or the tv looks like it shuts off, in the vein of Eternal Darkness sanity effects. Undertale did this really well. I dunno if AAA games still do this kinda thing Edit: wait actually this game takes a 20 year old tent pole of a genre and then makes you kill the plot, so I guess AAA games do still break the 4th wall

They also mention monsters are the way they are because of Mako exposure (Barrett says it’s shinra’s fault that there are monsters basically) And mako is like, crystallized lifestream So basically I’m not sure but I’m sure you magic explain it away

Beefstew posted:Man, listening to the OG soundtrack (partially because YouTube's been taking down uploads of the remake soundtrack), and I'm really sad that we didn't have more Anxious Hearts representation in the remake. That's straight-up the best song. I was wondering why I couldn’t find stuff anymore. The actual ost is out soon at least

Harrow posted:Since we've talked about Kingdom Hearts in this thread and I know there are some posters here who've kept up with it and enjoy it: I played KH1, the GBA game, KH2 and the PSP game (birth by sleep) all at launch. So I’m not a huge huge fan but I played and liked enough of the games. I was incredibly disappointed with Kh3

Apparently in advent children Marlene is ask different from the other children in a way I don’t want to remember because it was advent children. But there is definitely something up with her yeah.

Sapozhnik posted:It'll probably be expanded on one way or the other. Imo the original was a bit TOO vague though. I remember having discussions with people about the plot and we had completely different understandings of the main points of the plot. Some of it is cool and charming some of it was just being confusing

Flopsy posted:So it's a lot of this guy is a ghoul and clearly has a fetish for loving around with monsters but gaddamn did Sephiroth gently caress Wutai UP! WELP better give him a big ol' lab and a budget and hope he strikes gold again. Out of curiosity what do you think their plan was if he uh--went a step too far? Like, for example the plot of FF7? Rufus and co. figure out Sephiroth ain't dead and has become some sort of monstrosity pretty quickly. You'd think they would bring that up with him instead of letting him off the hook to be awful on a beach. Again part of why I liked the remake a lot was the context of “actually if a city size corporation did some terrible poo poo they’d deal with it similarly” Shinra tower was such a good approximation of what an oil/tech/monsanto type company would be like if they ran a small country

Asema posted:There's a lot here, and there's no way that I can do it justice but Emet is legitimately my favorite villain in all of FF and it's because they shape it up in a way where He's right/just in doing what he's attempting to do, and when you finally overcome him and pave the way for a future without what he's attempting to do, he doesn't scream like a little bitch and cry over being defeated, instead he just kinda kneels down, nods his head, and says The voice acting and writing of Ff14 absolutely make up for the game having the production quality of a PS2 game sometimes *Nods* *Punches Palm* I played SHB right after FF7R and it was crazy how much better The writing was and how much worse that part was. I love them both in different ways

Paper Tiger posted:I'm continuing to re-play through the chapters, and I noticed a couple things that hadn't registered my first time through: Have you seen the chapter 14 scene outside the house with aerith? She pops up to cloud in a “dream” because she’s in shinra HQ. But the stuff she says and way she acts made it seem like she knew all the timeline stuff was going on. I’m not sure if it’s like... a different aerith speaking to Cloud (one that’s from the future) or if aerith knows more than she’s letting on.

My FF nerd is showing but even in Final Fantasy 5 a main character dies and they try using Life and Phoenix down on them in the cutscene and they are "too dead" In FF Tactics a phoenix down will bring a recently "killed" character back to life but if you wait too long they are dead forever and they stop working. Even the original FF7 had attacks you couldn't phoenix down through - Ruby Weapon swallowed up 2 characters and you couldn't revive them. They popped out fine after the battle though Having your whole party "knocked out" just implies that the next step is the enemies now kill you because you can't fight back
