I've got a friend who played Remake completely blind on the original FFVII, she doesn't even know about Aerith's fate (and I keep having to warn her "Hey, when you're on the internet and discussion of this game comes up, there's one really big spoiler that's been so known for the majority of the history of gaming as a medium that people don't often care to hide it"), and from the perspective of that person (she's already figured out something is fucky with Nibelheim and Zack from the presentation of Remake), I wonder if (Demo Spoilers) having the "Shinra Grunt" crawling towards Cloud's mom's house and literally calling for his mom is a bit too much.

If I didn’t outright know the Nibelheim spoiler, I probably wouldn’t have thought much of it. But then again, I’m an idiot who tends to miss obvious things sometimes.

Yeah, I always found it strange that Ifalna was just “there”, but I just assumed she was what was left of a tiny cohort of Ancients that lived in the Icicle region.

I’m 200% sure 7R3 will expand upon that, because it’s a neat tidbit of unexplored lore.

Reeve sits at his desk, contemplating every decision he’s ever made that led him to this position. With a flick of his wrist, his coffee mug sprouts tiny arms and legs and dances around his keyboard, coming to a rest after a few twirls. This did not bring the joy Reeve hoped, so he sighs and opens back up Shin-Excel.

When he was a young boy did Genesis' dad take him into the city?

EDIT: lmao wait, I'm an idiot confusing different bands, My Chemical Romance is not the same band as My Bloody Valentine, who did Loveless, the album I was referencing

Genesis would have been a better character if every time he opened his mouth out came a blast of wobbly guitar feedback.

I always pronounced Jenova as Jen-nova. Guess it makes sense it's nearer to Jehovah and pronounced Je-nova.

Its the same way I pronounced Shinra as Shine-ra.

Basically I suck at pronouncing things.

Yeah, count me in as a JE-nova pronouncer. First time I heard JeNOva caught me off guard lol

That's a good point.

Honestly, I really like the black robe guys in these games. They're really creepy, and they're everywhere. You never know where they'll pop up next.

I personally think they were somewhat awkwardly integrated in the OG - like I got what the story was trying to do with them, but it wasn’t exactly clear. They’re much better utilized this time around.

So I apparently messed up one of the first side quests by picking the wrong flowers for the crown. Does this actually matter in some way?

I think what actions you choose during side-quests affects how many affection points you get from the person who accompanies you on said quest.

I am definitely treating certain party members better than others lol

The Huge Materia being the cores of Weapons instead of just laying around in random places is a really cool change.

Yep. I think it’s really fun how these games are taking the opportunity to firm up the internal logic and tidy up some story beats that felt kinda sloppy even in the OG.

That could be. FFXVI was a game I could definitely feel straining against what it could have been, straining against its limits, which is something I've felt with a lot of modern Final Fantasies. VII Rebirth is the first non-MMO one in a long while that doesn't give me that feeling.

FFXVI feels like Yoshi-P making the most of a relatively low budget. I don’t know how much the game cost, but I do remember comments about them running into financial constraints toward the end.

Posting real quick to say game rules and is really quite funny. This is also just a Xenoblade game, they are strikingly similar in game design.

Glad I’m not the only one who is getting strong Xenoblade vibes. And like those games, I will end up skipping over 40% of the side content because I’ll hit 80hrs and just want to be done with it already.

Graphics mode runs like dog poo poo, performance mode runs great and buttery smooth without any FPS drops. Not sure what's "blurry", I can see everything just fine.

I play on a 4k OLED TV.

People that play in graphics mode are insane.

I’m playing on a 65” OLED and I stick to graphics mode because my brain never evolved from playing N64 games.

Performance mode is absolutely blurrier and some of the textures are laughable, but like everyone else is saying, I’ll trade in some graphical jank in exchange for a fun game with a ton of heart.
