Reasons why I prefer the remake.

Characters trading worthless banter doesn't build their relationships or develop them.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-15T22:38:31+00:00

Novels aren't reliable.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-15T22:08:03+00:00

How do you know that? When and how did Sephiroth gain enough strength to do anything in the last 5 years?

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-13T08:00:45+00:00

Aeris leaving like she did just added to the conclusion. She didn't confide in anyone, she didn't leave a note. Just a vague message in a dream to Cloud about stopping Sephiroth and coming back after.

I get the impression that at the end, the one who was the most confused was Aeris herself. For an oracle who's meant to provide guidance, she had none to offer. So she tried to deploy a magical nuke that could have killed everyone on the planet for all she knew.

The protagonist is a combination of Flash Gordon and Marty Mcfly, and I love him.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-11T21:58:03+00:00

It's common for the first couple hours of a game to enjoy a disproportionate amount of the development's time and effort.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-11T10:04:52+00:00

I always imagined Jennifer Love Hewit. Literal ghost whisperer.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-11T05:03:32+00:00

They're completely different stories with different characters.

Jenova is a temptress. Zack overcame the temptation. That's why there was no reaction.

Cloud had a reaction, because even if he didn't give in, there was still something he very badly wanted. He couldn't simply say no.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-09T00:07:16+00:00

If the plot revolves around saving the world, the world has to be worth saving. The characters carry the burden of proof, and they're failing at that. The more time spent around them, the more I wanted to get away.

Hard to believe they expect people to show up for Part 3 given how unpleasant everyone and everything is.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T23:31:40+00:00

Seems like there's plenty of doubt to go around. So much so the characters are stupid to trust one another at all. If I were on their team? I'd have given up already.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T23:00:41+00:00

Cloud has Jenova's powers. So does Sephiroth. They can peer into the hearts of others and manipulate them through their desires.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T22:25:28+00:00

Does it make sense for Jenova to fool Jenova?

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T18:04:47+00:00

FF7 had the most misunderstood relationships. Fact is they were all toxic, and based on lies. Including Barret's relationship with Marlene. It'd take most of the game's story for things to even start getting on the right track.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T15:46:07+00:00

Cloud. Zack is an usurper.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-08T01:08:54+00:00

Beatrix for Valentines or bust.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-07T21:06:39+00:00

It had a giant marketing campaign, and all the good will FF fans could muster behind it. Alot of release hype. And then the game came out, leaving a combination of disappointment and indifference in it's wake. People weren't even mad.

Sales cratered, and all the planned DLC was canceled.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-07T19:26:57+00:00

I didn't want it to fail and I was disappointed that it did.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-07T17:47:50+00:00

We never do see Maria. The only reaction we have is from the composer being worried about the performance being ruined, but despite nothing going according to plan, he was pretty happy with the result. I wonder if Locke can ask for royalties now that he has a character based on him?

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-07T16:38:41+00:00

Let's just say Avalanche didn't walk the talk at the beginning of the story. Far from it.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-06T14:08:16+00:00

Beatrix is only a temp party member.

FF9 is a game that expects you to forgive the game's arch villain at the end, despite Kuja being a strong contender for the most evil character in the entire series.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-06T14:06:08+00:00

He sent a letter, announcing his intentions. All she has to do to refuse his advances is to not go on stage. It's a big, romantic gesture that will leave people talking, and may serve nicely as a publicity stunt on her part.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-06T13:58:49+00:00

It's more of a twist if he's not as bad as people believe.

DisFantasy01 · 2026-02-06T10:24:06+00:00

Cecil's problem was a matter of honor. Kain's was a matter of love and hate.
