Just found out about FF 7 Remake.

They actually did the Dragon Quest 5 Your Story twist, and that pisses me off. That's not a remake if you change the entire story, that's a sequel. ****ing manipulative.
Wait, what?

Go into detail about that, I'm dead confused now.

So out of curiosity since I'm too lazy too look it up myself, does anyone have a list of some of the P5 royal dialogue changes? Besides the obvious "controversial" scene of course.

Panda can go into this in more detail but

The Sephiroth in Remake is actually the Sephiroth Cloud omnislashes at the end of FF7. He went back in time to mess up Cloud so he doesn't win or some bull**** like that.

It's not an FF7 Remake. It's Sephiroth remaking FF7, and that's what they're selling to their long time fans who waited so long for an actual FF7 Remake.

Wait, so what, you just die mid-game? Or do you die at the final scene? What the **** happens?

I don't know the specifics because I still need to actually play FF 7 (again, ask Gentlepanda Gentlepanda ), but it's pretty counterintuitive when the product you're pitching is a remake of one of gaming's most iconic RPGs.

I mean, I guess it is a remake in a sense. But that sounds like ****ty marketing, but I feel like reception is still going to be overwhelmingly positive no matter the outcome.

Given how some people in this thread have expressed positive feelings toward the twist, you might be right. Future parts though? If Nomura is at the helms of creative writing, god help this story being actually good.

Eh, probably. I just wanna see if future and past Sephiroth interact mutually like Goku Black type beat or a "only one can live" Dio Brando type beat.

Speaking of which, how the **** does Sephiroth time travel?

Got a dress from a friendly ghost. Aaaaaah. Feeling so cute
Your dress is nice, but go catch that bug. It's right there. :(

Maybe Sephiorth is contacted by an older version of himself and he's split into two forms to test out some crackshot Plan Z theory he's been working on as a contingency. Idfk

Is it hurting my head thinking about all of the ridiculous bull**** that makes no sense? Yep. Sounds like Final Fantasy.

I'm near the end of FFVII Remake but something tells me I shouldn't open those spoiler tags until I actually finish it.

That was more Kingdom Hearts storytelling.

Yeah just hold off until you actually finish.

There actually two bugs in that image, both of which I caught immediately after.

Nah, Kingdom Hearts' story doesn't make my head hurt, it just makes me disappointed.

I have so many games I still need to beat from my birthday and Christmas.

Link's Awakening
Luigi's Mansion 3
Five Nights At Freddy's (Technically I've already beaten this one, but I got the Switch port)
Pokemon Shield
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Five Nights At Freddy's: Sister Location

And I still haven't beaten The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild either. I got that on release day.

You see Cloud, by using J-E-N-O-V-A's cells and my dormant powers, which I've had this entire time, I sliced a rift in space-time and traveled to the past to halt all of my failures by you and your friends' hands! I manipulated all of these events the entire time, even from people who have no idea who I even am! But you and your little "power of friendship" and "dreams" kept pushing on and on! And now with the help from myself, we can finally accomplish our dream of ascending to the Promised Land!

People picked up about the Menu UI being similar to Persona 5's before release, IIRC. Joker seems more a welcome surprise than someone who's been fighting the odds for years. People weren't going "Oh, finally, Joker, after 10 years!", they were going, "Oh, ****, Joker? Neat."

By your logic, you'd have to throw Terry in there too.
I never said people have been waiting for Joker. I agree- he’s a welcome surprise. A welcome surprise. Anyways, I wasn’t saying Joker was the most seemingly impossible of the newcomers. Banjo and K Rool are probably way above him. But he certainly didn’t seem possible before he came out.

I may be super late to this, but whateves. I just realized that every character struck with the ARMS phenomenon also has spirals in their eyes as a result of the mutation. That's why Mechanica's eyes are normal compared to everyone else, since she's a normal girl in a mech suit.

The lore doesn't call it a mutation. They actually don't remember how they get these ARMS but most of them wake up with them one day. But yeah, you're right on the spiral eyes though.

People actually noticed this right when the game was announced. I remember it was widely speculated that the characters were robots back then because of that.

Finished watching the movie.

It definitely had an interesting and unique premise but the dialogue man...Oh my god so cringey. Better off watching it with the English sub instead.
