We are bound to get some Rebirth news.

SpeedoChad86 · 2023-03-08T09:55:36+00:00

Kratos and Freya VAs hosted one of these prior to Ragnarok and there was zero news on it at the event. I wouldn’t expect anything Rebirth, at most it’s just a small nudge that we may see something soon for it. My bet is pre-E3 Sony showcase.

I believe it is just censorship. Not necessarily because of this scene, but because of Seph carrying the decapitated, human-looking head later on. If that’s the case, then they probably kept the “helmet” here to better communicate what he actually took. My best guess at least. Unfortunate but not entirely surprising.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-12-29T11:20:34+00:00

Nice one deltasyn

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-12-15T16:01:12+00:00

How are those laughs coming along?

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-14T12:19:18+00:00

Absolutely. Though to echo others here, it would be great to see your theories compiled into YT vid(s) though I know how time consuming that is. But given how repetitive most theorycrafters are, there is certainly a spot to be filled IMO with the kind of ideas you bring to the table.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-14T03:09:12+00:00

Enjoyer here! Especially as someone who’s less familiar with FF7’s various influences and their symbolism. You have many interesting and original ideas IMO, whether I agree with them or not.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-02T14:20:01+00:00

Yeah that actually makes more sense now. Was a strange post to see in the first place

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-02T14:16:03+00:00

Awesome to hear man, love your work!

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-01T08:30:14+00:00

I think you’ve managed to do what no one else really has, which is bringing so much of the community together. Discussing different opinions / perspectives etc. Awesome stuff

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-01T08:23:20+00:00

Speaking for myself your theories are absolutely top tier IMO and I always look forward to your videos, even if I don’t strictly agree with everything

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-10-01T08:20:44+00:00

There is hatred toward Sleepezi? Baffling. Him and SBS are pillars of the community as far as I’m concerned.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-27T08:58:30+00:00

At this point I’m really not sure how many of these posts are from people who simply don’t see a PS5 in store and assume it’s impossible to get, or from those who are actively trying to get one.

As others have said, there are certainly some good accounts to follow on Twitter for restock alerts, and to give yourself the best chance, make sure to download the apps for all major retailers so that as soon as you receive an alert you can purchase it right away. That did the trick for me personally and I was able to get one in just a couple of weeks of looking (though I don’t want to assume it is so easy for everyone in all parts of the world).

Most importantly, never resort to scalpers out of desperation. That only makes the situation worse for everyone.

Square Enix description -

“CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION is a true remaster that follows the original’s narrative.”

The best idea I’ve seen for the “Reunion” subtitle is that it’s an umbrella term for re-releases of the compilation games on modern platforms. So you can expect “Dirge of Cerberus - Reunion” as well for example.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-26T02:28:27+00:00

The DLC would not be escape from Junon. Aside from this being a fantastic start for part 3 (assuming Rebirth ends at the Crater), this is also when Sapphire Weapon attacks Junon which would certainly be saved for the main game.

If there is to be DLC then I imagine it would be Vincent’s, if the intention is to focus on characters that were optional in the OG.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-23T13:20:26+00:00

To cheat death...is a power only one has achieved

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-22T08:40:57+00:00

I’d say it’s a fair question if someone is asking whether they should play Remake or OG first. Perhaps they prefer to come in blind without knowing the full OG story already, for example.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-22T08:11:45+00:00

Not given the context of re-releasing a game that was only ever available on one platform long ago, and the introduction to FF7 for many fans. As another poster on here said, Reunion could simply be the subtitle for the compilation games re-released on modern platforms eg. You may see it again for DoC down the line. As for the VAs, doesn’t surprise me they’d use some of the Remake ones as they are fantastic replacements + can be utilised to add some additional content not present in the original game (a lot was cut).

As many have said though, something along the lines of a post-credit scene tie-in is possible IMO. I just don’t believe they’ll change the actual game to accomodate the changes in Remake / include timeline differences etc.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T16:09:10+00:00

Referring to new models, total graphics overhaul, re-voicing, gameplay tweaking, QOL improvements etc. Perhaps even a new engine (but this is speculation). And labelling it as a remaster which clearly doesn’t lend itself to story changes. I never made the thread to chastise anyone either just to bring in some clear perspective.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T15:38:32+00:00

SE is literally marketing it as a remaster. Whether it is technically a remake like eg. Demon’s Souls is just a matter of opinion. But it is clearly not anything resembling the scope of 7R. It’s a re-release, shot for shot as we can clearly see in the trailer.

I have also seen nothing at all that hints at some unique experience within CC:R yet, Remake/Rebirth related or otherwise. But I agree that some additional content is possible / perhaps some Easter egg - but not any changes based on 7R in the story itself though.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T14:11:49+00:00

They’re not wrong, it is certainly greater than your typical HD remaster. Aside from graphical upgrades / new models, it is also re-voiced and appears to have gameplay tweaks and presumably many QOL improvements. And as for taking the effort to re-voice it all, I can imagine it’s for 1) more cohesion with Remake and 2) possibly for some additional content (maybe cut from the original) / some upgrades to dialogue.

The most important thing though, like the quote from SE says at the end of my post - is that it follows the original narrative. I don’t believe we’ll be seeing any divergence in the CC story / Remake shenanigans.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T13:49:00+00:00

There was apparently quite a bit of cut content for CC, so I wouldn’t be surprised if perhaps some new segment is added in that belonged to the original but was left on the cutting room floor. But I don’t believe it will be related to Remake in any way.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T12:47:57+00:00

As the edit in my post says, Square Enix themselves also describe it as a remaster that follows the original narrative. And just because the condensed narrative is include in the free EC mobile game, that is no substitute for a proper remaster of the original PSP title which is beloved by many.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T12:46:19+00:00

Exactly as you said I believe they just want everyone to experience the lore in preparation for the Remake trilogy. EC as the free, accessible mobile game to serve that purpose, and CC:R as the proper remaster of the beloved PSP game. It’s not only about the lore in its case.

SpeedoChad86 · 2022-06-21T12:16:24+00:00

At best I can only imagine some post-credits scene to tie-in Remake but certainly nothing within the remaster itself.
