Do you think there is significance to the game being released at the very end of February, the month of lovers? As if its the end of love...the end...of Aeris...Aeris dies?!

Saying “it ends very different then Remake” has my head spinning, but that can be taken so many different ways.

My current interpretation, which will almost certainly change within the next hour, is that while Remake's ending went wildly off rails and had you fighting the ghosts of Advent Children and Sephiroth, this time the ending will be played straight 1:1 with the original scene and the final boss will be JENOVA Life.

The post credits scene will be Aeris coming to in Zack's timeline, very confused

You know, in retrospect, having a move you call "Hell's Gate" that also emits dark energy when you use it should have tipped off the therapist at Shinra that something wasn't quite right.

I've been wondering this since Remake, and it's only gotten more intriguing as things go: Will Sephiroth be redeemed by the end of the remake series?

So, in Kingdom Hearts Nomura ALWAYS puts some explanation as to why Sora loses all his godlike abilities and power for the start of the new game. What is the explanation for why Cloud and co. won't be roided out at the start?

I think sometimes about how goddamn weird it is that the world itself has a defense against threats, and that defense is a squad of supersize organic gundams.

Speaking of WEAPONS, are they going to make them smaller in the third game? Because in the OG they were absolutely massive, every single one dwarfed the party, I can't imagine it would play well in the modern games, it would either be laggy as hell or you would essentially be cutting down fleshy tree trunk legs.

Palmer's probably like the loadbearing yet seemingly useless Jenga block you don't want to remove because it will bring the whole tower crashing down. Dude's probably got a whole slate of competent underlings working to make sure the trains literally run on time and poo poo and the system runs so well in his absence that if you replaced him with a new face, it would completely destroy the equilibrium because they'd try to actually be a manager and change things.

I'm not joking, this post hits way too close to home for some jobs I have been at.

The Junon sequence is so much fun. They just totally lean into how ridiculous the whole scenario is and how dumb and oblivious it requires the Shinra troops to be. From the goofy-rear end march they do when Cloud sends calls them back to duty, to the serious commander running up to get her award and jumping up and down and waving like a little kid, to the 7th Division's blind acceptance of everything their "captain" does, it's all great.

Its a great satire of real life military

Listen the less you think about the black cloak dudes deal the better off you will be. This same logic can also apply to literally everything new the Remake series introduces, just close your mind's eye and enjoy the gameplay and the times when it becomes original FF7.

So I have just unlocked all party members so this is my Objectively Correct ranking on how strong they are to use:

1. Yuffie: The GOAT. She's just incredible to play. Easy S tier. You throw shuriken, you spam ninjutsu with doppel, you then gap close and use art of war, or if something goes awry use any of her moves that specifically lets her bail from any bullshit. I'm not sure she even has weaknesses outside of being kinda squishy, which can be fixed by Being Good.

2. Tifa: The other GOAT. Still extremely fun to play, still extremely strong. Run circles around your enemies and beat them with the power of ZANGAN'S SECRET TECHNIQUE(s). Only weakness is a lack of aerial ability, which can be sort of fixed through synergy attacks and Gale.

3. Cloud: Simple and Clean is the way Cloud makes me feel. He can do everything, not as well as Yuffie, but he feels hardier than her. Plus he's the dude you are forced to have for at least half of the game so far, so of course they aren't going to make him weak. I put Enemy Skill on him and never looked back, Plasma Discharge is incredible.

4. Barret/Red XIII: I can't decide which of them comes next so I'm tie-ing them. I don't like using Red XIII's tanking gimmick, but he's good, very agile, and Stardust Ray hits like an isekai truck. Barret is still Barret, but he's better in this game in a way I can't quite articulate. I need to get better with both of them but lmao that's for later.

5. Aeris: For what it's worth, I completely agree with ImpAtom's idea that she plays like an FF14 Black Mage if put into an action game. Problem is, I don't like playing Black Mage. Just like with the above, I should practice with her more, but...eh.

6. Cait Sith: He's no Iscar Matthias that's for sure. A dubious little creature getting up to mischief.

So I'm going to be a little poo poo here and say my honest thoughts, even though I don't like the idea myself. I'm almost certain that's just a translation error. I can't speak or read Japanese and I haven't looked into it myself, but it feels like the kind of thing a translator is making more cryptic than it actually is.

I didn't care in the last game, but this game I grew to resent always having Cloud be in the party when he was available. I hope next game we can finally just pick all three party members instead of Cloud being mandatory.
