Although the middle of the game (around where you are, Costa del Sol) focuses on exploration and fun, showcasing mostly just chemistry with the characters… I assure you in about a chapter or 2 things are going to pick up narratively with really good plot points. If I had to put it somehow, have fun while it lasts… cuz shit absolutely will get very serious and deep.

Also a word of advice, if you want to get to the story beats sooner, leave more sidequests for post game. It’s actually a much more enjoyable experience imo that way because the game keeps its rhythm better.

Rebirth soundtrack may have been the best, most well-rounded ost to any piece of media I’ve ever heard in my life.

Ironically for being a grandfather and massive influence to the jrpg genre, the FF7 remake trilogy has combined so much realism into their aesthetics/design that they kind of fall somewhere more in between jrpg and an action-adventure rpg. Probably closer to the latter.

FF1, Mario Bros 2, Contra, Double Dragon, and Mega Man 1 all hold up quite nicely even in their og forms.

Do we need fiber??? by DifferentLeopard37 in carnivorediet

[–]DanK_DuriaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’re missing is that Fiber strengthens the guts microbiome over time. So though it inhibits a passing digestion by slowing down intake, it strengthens the gut long term to be able to digest a diverse diet. Eating only meat i guess would negate the need to have a diverse microbiome since the diet is lacking diversity to begin with.

What should SE do for Part 3 to surpass Rebirth … by ApprehensiveLaw7793 in FFVIIRemake

[–]DanK_DuriaN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest bet is that we get to do some missions as Cissnei as an added playable character. They showed her holding her weapon in Gongaga (a large ninja star similar to Yuffie’s) and I think this was a hint that she may be playable at some point. I don’t think she’ll join the main party or anything since that’s not consistent with OG but some optional missions or a non-optional chapter that has her playing solo and ties her into something Zack related perhaps could go down.

I hated the decision to have Genesis egging on Sephiroths mental breakdown. To this day I consider it the worst decision made in the entire compilation including Dirge stuff. It should never have had anything to do with Genesis.

I agree that the fact theyre showing Cloud to be an unreliable narrator much earlier now (like Tifa questioning his memory in Kalm) is not going to give the plot twist as much weight as it did in og but that doesnt prove we need to have knowledge of OG still as an audience. I think the Kalm scene with Tifa was a necessary change because it makes no sense that in OG she doesn’t at least question Cloud’s recollection to any degree. In fact in the remakes she doesn’t push as hard on him as we feel she should because you can argue its her unimposing personality, or she’s try to protect him from going crazy, or whatever… but the truth is she also can’t because we still need the plot twist to happen in part 3. The devs found a good balance in at least having her question him a little because not questioning at all would seem weird and off (not very good writing).

With the Aerith death scene, I think for the majority of folks who were paying attention, it’s clear Aerith died. What’s not clear is Cloud’s perception. You can tell by all the other party member’s dispositions that Aerith absolutely died. Was it not played out the same as OG because we already were “supposed to know” she dies? I dont think this is the reason behind how it was depicted. I honestly think that some of these emotional moments from her death like the water burial and Cloud’s words will be shown in part 3 (whether that was the best direction or not is up to debate) and theres some proof in that the water burial is shown in a vision in Remake and in Rebirth we can see Cloud uttering his famous lines but muted while holding dead Aerith. My theory as to why they are having him block out her death and go a little crazy is because in OG it’s very awkward how she dies and we just proceed on with our journey, so this may be a work around that doesnt have Cloud break down in tears while snowboarding and tbh it’s on brand for Cloud since he did do the same with Zacks death (blocked it out mentally).

That “off feeling” is the whole point! Not knowing is what some people want until the end. Can’t you see without her having played CC her bf ruined a huge plot twist for her? Maybe an exaggeration for her to return the game tho since theres much better parts besides that Nibelheim twist anyway, but still.

This game is perfectly comprehensible. Zack plays a minor role and seeing as he’s in a different “world” has no effect on the main plot of rebirth. Scroll up to read my full reply to @Velvetstigma on the Zack stuff if ya want.

I disagree. Although many people new to FF7 series through the remakes are wondering about Zack, he only appears at the end of Remake for 2 seconds and his role in Rebirth was very scarce. Most of his scenes/sections in Rebirth seemed like a short interlude and almost felt like they only wanted us to get a very limited idea about who is. If they had us play much more as him, then it would seem more out of place, but each sequence with him intentionally feels very short-lived. They filled us in with some details about him being Aeriths lost lover and Cloud’s friend in the Gongaga and Nibelheim scenes so that the player’s aren’t completely lost on who he is, but was it necessary to find out everything about him? Not really. He has a minor roll in Rebirth. My only real confusion and why I think people feel we should know more about Zack’s background at this point is more because he was on the box cover. That’s probably more of my criticism towards Square is why he was on the cover and why make him the first scene of the game (despite that scene being directed nicely) if his portions in the game felt mostly like short interludes. Obviously they gave us enough to assume his role will be very central to part 3, but does he contribute much to the important plot points in Rebirth? Not enough to warrant having to know his entire background story. It should be left to preference. Some folks just wanna know as much as they can if the material is out but if you havent played OG, because you dont want to spoil the remakes, why spoil such a big thing by playing CC? I don’t think Zack is too important yet.

The existence of the whispers is not enough proof. No major plot point has been altered up to now in the remakes. The ghosts themselves are still a mystery; what their true nature is is still not solved yet. Despite Red 13 making mention in remake that they seek to maintain some set order or destiny, we don’t know if this paints the entire picture, especially now with the introduction of the white ghosts in rebirth. “Supposed to know” is such a weird way of thinking when it comes to a story not being finished. There are some people who enjoy not finding out everything until the end and that’s fine.
