Loved the entire ending sequence, Square's boss encounter design on this type of action blend FF titles finally caught up to KH's and surpassed them. Plus the whole ending is so bittersweet and touching. This whole FF Rebuild rules and going by how they handled the three decade long desire to see Aerith saved, only to reinforce the themes of the original again, perfect.

So the ending was basically this.

The guy on the other forum keeps insisting that there is no such thing as alternate timelines. It's a huge misunderstanding introduced in the localization. And that no-one who played it in English got the very subtle message that Sarruf is Rufus.

lol whats their take, that in nihongo time is the same word as world or smth? Like, one of the scenario writers is from the FF8 and you can tell

He published his take here. Use Google Translate or something because it's a real wall of text:

Edit: To summarize, Stamp's soul has a nasty case of breed dysphoria.

This makes a lot of sense, there's a lot in the game to support this reading like the dream motiff, the ammount of already vritual reality in the dream/real worlds too and while I can read Spanish but I didnt see any mention of localisation issues in it

I don't think it's literal vr but a metaphor, where it's all a dream but also all is real because of the nature of the lifestream, and we're all compressed into those seven seconds sefi said at the end of remake. The semantics only matter for bridging the concepts, because they are alternate worlds and they're not at the same time

It's kinda bs square hide the best option behind a clear game save, the auto pick up materials

the whole bit on aeris' dreamworld was already moving enough that I thought they werent going to do the alter sequence too, because that shot of pushing cloud down and sefirot coming in the church? Kino

I don't think he lost his mind so much as he's opened Kingdom Hearts and realised what the lifestream was, but in doing so lost touch with the current reality. All of it will come to head in the sequel and land on a similar endnote to the ending of ff7 og when he's holding Tifa and they go "let's go see her"
