Kitase's said that after living with these characters for close to 30 years now, he wants to see them all have happy endings this time around, so make whatever of that what you will...

Well there’s no way he’d stay dead of course

That was just a silly reference. They don’t actually take place in the same world!

It’s the same universe but not the same planet

EDIT: the Shinra from FFX-2 definitely started out as a joke reference but over the years and through interviews it’s basically been canonized that 7 and X are the same universe. They’re so far apart in both story and time that it doesn’t matter at all though

It does make a kind of sense in explaining where all these non-Cetra people came from: ancient alien space colonists from Spira filling the void left by the Cetra apocalypse.

Certainly makes Palmer look like more of a gently caress-up if mankind previously had the knowledge of interstellar spaceflight, lost it, and not even Shinra's bottomless resources could get it working again under his watch. Maybe they can't figure out the Spelljammer tech anymore, I dunno.

No I think the implication would be that the settlers WERE the Cetra(or their ancestors at least). Humans are descended from the Cetra. And yeah ancient advanced technology that no one knows how to use anymore is a staple of the series

my favorite ff7 development thing is that in the earliest drafts of the script the black-robed figures were actually going to be Jenova's floating disembodied limbs and head

Yeah each Jenova boss was going to be a part of Sephiroth/Jenova that broke off to fight the main party. Eventually he'd just be a floating heart

I wonder if they’ll try to explain how the party lost all their items from the first game. Maybe their car crashes or something

KotR just summons 13 giant armored guys who all run around like a bunch of little kids playing soccer and dogpile the enemy in a big blob that fills the screen

Sadly I think that’d be a bit much to keep track of during a fight. I’m guessing it’ll only summon Arthur, Lancelot, and Gawain(the last 3) at most and the other 10 will join for the ultimate attack.

Part 3 is going to be named Reunion isn’t it?

If Part 2 ends significantly differently from the original I'm guessing Redo or Rewrite for Part 3

I finally got around to trying the piano minigame. It's a lot of fun! Got B on the second try (though pretty close to A). It's finicky but makes sense once you get a feel for it. The only part that confused me a bit was how much you need to release the stick between notes.

It's neat how, once you start building up a combo, the song starts sounding better and more complex.

I hope they have a lot of tracks added for the minigame, like it implies when you first do it.

There are six of them according to the trophy list

Are there any good guides for how to play Yuffie in Intermission? Her mechanics are pretty complex and the game gives like a one sentence explanation for most of them.

Related to that, I hope Rebirth has some sort of training mode to test out skills and combos

I think we've already seen the Whispers in some of the trailers though I predict the thing that will make people mad is whatever is going on with Zack

By the end of the game I fully expect to have more questions than answers about the Zack situation

can someone remind me what said Kingdom Hearts nonsense amounted to in Remake? I haven't beaten the game since it came out

I can't remember if they "kill" Sephiroth there and they're gonna be surprised to see him again or if it was weird dream reality poo poo or what

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Since most of these guys aren't actually Sephiroth that's only really two different Sephiroths (flashbackiroth and final boss roth)

E: And what this means is that they is classic ff7 sephiroth doing classic ff7 things but also a sephiroth all about rewriting that history probably because he wants to kiss Cloud or something.
I assume he wants to rewrite history because he loses in the original timeline. That’s why he tells Cloud at the beginning of Remake to run away

Synergy skills seem absolutely essential for some characters since they cover their weaknesses. Aerith gets a bodyguard while she sets up her wards, Tifa gets an air launcher, ect.

Red is neat and seems very powerful solo (not that you ever really play solo). His special mode seems capable of some pretty great damage.

I don't know if this was the case in the original, but Cloud seems to shoot projectiles from his sword at range now.

The sword beams are definitely new

For some reason I didn't get the option to skip the flashback. Or does it only let you skip part of it?

Did you accept the bonus stuff on the main menu? That includes being able to skip the flashback

ImpAtom posted:

Relatively minor spoilers:
Red XIII joins right away.

Yuffie joins after the events at Costa Del Sol, which is roughly 6-ish chapters into the game.
Cait Sith joins after the events at Gold Saucer which is maybe 1-2 chapters later.


No side content is cut off by story progression until you reach Chapter 12's date sequence.

There's no reason to wait on side stuff.

Does Yuffie mostly play the same as in Intermission?
