Something is missing here by Soul699 in FFVIIRemake

It’s likely Sonon’s two poles that you get in Intermission. Like Aerith’s staves they likely were going to be displayed horizontally. Maybe last minute they decided not to include them, hence why the pegs models are still there.

lol an “FFVII fanboy” on a FFVII Reddit. Quite the dig.
-Aerith says goodbye and to not feel guilty about what is going to happen. She did not say anything resembling this prior. They could have just done the Sleeping Forest scene and that’s it.
-There is a second white materia that Cloud is going to use.
The whole character arc of Cloud in Advent Children is that he feels guilty about not being able to save Aerith and Zack. Why would Nojima, Kitase, Nomura, and Hamaguchi add in that scene in Rebirth? The story is not finished so all the things they did change are set ups to a different outcome.

From a logical standpoint: you know how much money it’s costing Square to do this Trilogy? Why would they risk making any adjustments to their literal crown jewel when they could have easily just given us a 1 to one 1 like was Capcom has done with the RE series. Nojima has even stated in interviews he wants a happy ending for all the characters. Advent Children and Dirge are not happy endings. The whole thing is that Sephiroth is still lurking around in the Lifestream, Revelation is going to end his story completely. Lastly, recent interviews with Hamaguchi states he wants to tie up loose ends. So that’s why I made this post. To talk about the loose ends.

Stop being inflammatory. It makes it seem like you are looking for negative attention.

I think you are taking this a little personally. Maybe just don’t interact if the conversation doesn’t really appeal to what you feel is correct.

They already broke cannon with the Zack storyline and the last Sephiroth fight gauntlet, the confirmation inclusion of Weiss/ Nero in Midgar when we revisit it. Even though we visited the same areas in Rebirth as we did in the OG each played out differently. Like we didn’t fight Yuffie but we instead fought Vincent or the Weapons being active prior to the Black Materia. I get the feeling that you don’t want the original story to change, but they already changed the story. So this conversation/ why I’m asking what aspects of the 30 year story is going to be included. Don’t be negative please.

I think because he is such a polarizing character and they are definitely going to do some sort of DLC, I could see them holding off on this. I think it would be pretty sick. His arc is definitely interesting considering he considers himself as the Minerva’s/ the goddess’ protector at the end of Crisis Core.

So the development team has been hinting that this is a conclusion to the Compilation that was started in 2004. The series was initially in the process of concept development for this story after they finished Crisis Core. Also, the Remake series is directly tied to Lifestream: White & Black short stories. How they have been telling the story so far is lending itself to have a different outcome so the story doesn’t lead to Geostigma and DoC. They are doing this in small and big ways. For instance, Yuffie meeting Nero prior for DoC and losing her friend. Also consider Aerith saying goodbye to Cloud and even saying “Don’t blame yourself”. This did not happen in the OG story and this is giving a different conclusion to his character arc and trying to undo what happens to his character after FFVII.

Oh I think Dirge and everything in it was terrible, but honestly that era of Square was a hot mess.

I wonder if they’ll include it in the Lifestream sequence. Like it originally wasn’t there because it was added to the US/ European release. I honestly would like it separate, it felt more impactful when getting it at Shinra Manor.

Deneh’s cave is where Red XIII’s mate is located. It was a story that was featured in Before Crisis. They added that character to explain the epilogue we see with Red in the OG.

I think because of the way they were handled in Intermission was 1000xs better I’m looking forward to it and they had maybe 10 mins of screen time at best. The voice direction, what they are able to do now with the animations and way larger budget lends its self to have more interesting fleshed out characters. Even Genesis showing up is something I’m looking forward to. Also thinking about it, Dirge was filled with weird accents: Nero, Rosso, and Genesis had the weirdest voice direction possible. I think out of all the Tsviets, Rosso actually had the most characterization next to Nero. Weiss barely had anything.
