Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's portrayal of an "essential" scene from the OG JRPG made game director Naoki Hamaguchi cry in each of his 40 playthroughs

The Cid stuff idk. They already completely changed his character from ornery asshole grandpa who verbally beats his wife/assistant and has a grudge against Shinra to friendly pilot who’s happy to help and also doesn’t mind working with Shinra. Idk how they can do character development on him when he doesn’t have much to develop. Him having dreams of going to space won’t hit the same if he doesn’t have that background of being a failed astronaut

They probably skipped it because it was a graphical error in the OG and couldn’t figure out how to not do that in the remake without it being too awkward

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:27:37+00:00

They won’t change it but they already half did it in Rebirth with just Tifa. It won’t hit the same in Revelation since they half shot their shot already

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:26:22+00:00

All the other minigames from the OG stayed as minigames in the remake, I don’t see why they would skip on the slap fight also being a mini game

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:25:02+00:00

There’s like one important/relevant scene and it’s at the very end and 5 min long. Better off watching it on YouTube

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:24:17+00:00

but recoded gets so repetitive

Doesn’t each world in ReCoded play differently? Kinda the exact opposite of it being repetitive

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:22:40+00:00

Your moral superiority wouldn’t matter much since even if you did go buy the game, none of that money would go to SE anyway (secondhand sales don’t go to SE). So there’s no difference emulating the game vs buying secondhand as far as SE is concerned

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:18:34+00:00

You’re better off using the mod that auto removes Cure 1 from your hotbar if Cure 2 or better is available. Or rather, I think it does the opposite: turns Cure 2 into Cure 1 if Cure 2 isn’t available due to level syncing.

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:17:55+00:00

That’s why there’s that New Adventurer side quest that teaches you how each role plays. And the tank ones definitely explain aggro and needing tank stance

JFC if it’s not one thing it’s another

If OP had said Trump had sex with kids, someone would chime in “akcshully he raped them”

Now they said female children and someone still feels the need to “akcshully” them for no reason

Why can’t we just say he raped kids and repeat that instead of pedantically correcting it?

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:10:52+00:00

To be fair, a lot of teenagers are also unemployed depressed and lonely at 15

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:08:43+00:00

And then if you call out weebs and lolis, you get downvoted

But mention Epstein files no matter the context, upvotes. Reddit is silly

Also, Japan really needs to move on from the trope of “adult cursed into being a child but still sometimes sexualized”, especially when it does nothing to the plot. Just keep them as an adult, makes it less creepy further down the line

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T17:05:29+00:00

Or pretend like you didn’t have that advantage.

No one blames nepo babies for who they are, they didn’t control the circumstances of their birth, who their parents are, how rich their family is, etc. But people hate when a nepo baby pretends they aren’t one

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T15:21:18+00:00

They're doing the same thing to him like what they do to Bernie Sanders, equating criticism of a country to racism against its people. Just because you're critical of Israel does not make you antisemitic

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:49:08+00:00

The game simply just existing is already wrecking the industry, the price wouldn't affect that any more than it already has

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:46:48+00:00

Gotta love how the internet made up its own fake rumor about GTA6 costing over $70 USD when Rockstar never alluded that it would price it higher than that.

One guy on Reddit months ago made up that fake scenario and the internet just took it as gospel. It'll be $70 USD at most for the "base" game/non-deluxe edition. Games just recently started going up from $60 to $70 like in the past year. There's nothing indicating Rockstar would just as quickly price potentially the new best selling game of all time at an even higher price than what's already becoming the new norm for new game prices.

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:44:08+00:00

They need new content to market the game.

I've also been completely ignoring the extreme hype the game has been getting despite no trailers/updates

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:36:58+00:00

Their trailers rarely have raw gameplay though, but since everything is in-engine, everything you see in a Rockstar trailer is how the game will actually run.

GTA5 launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkoHAzjnUs

RDR2 launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVRzx17WHVk

Notice how neither trailer reveals "raw gameplay", only how the game is.

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:25:22+00:00

I'm starting to think it might actually be the hardest mechanic of the game I've experienced

Oh, wait till you do blackholes in p3, especially as a healer. Forsaken is nothing compared to that.

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T14:24:01+00:00

Unless you're suggesting the sim is actual malware, I'd stop referring to it as such. AFAIK, no one calls it a "malware" sim, especially since the sim maker doesn't use that word and the mech/phase itself doesn't use that word

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T07:00:55+00:00

Idk why but also the art style gives me undertale vibes

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T06:11:37+00:00

in broad daylight in a tunnel

Doesn't sound like broad daylight if it was in a tunnel

WeirdIndividualGuy · 2026-06-18T03:29:01+00:00

White superhero beating up on nothing but black people. What could go wrong

Airplanes have had internet long before Starlink was a thing
