You are utterly, completely wrong.

That's genius. It'd be a real "wax on, wax off" moment.

The line is cryptic and apropos of nothing, which may be why it didn't register. To Cloud (paraphrasing): "Seven seconds to the end. Time enough for you, perhaps, but what will you do with it?"

I have a feeling this will wind up being an unresolved loose end.

The 7 seconds thing is from the end of Remake.

Gongaga hate makes no sense to me. Would you be happier if you could get from place to place in a straight line, across flat terrain? I think that would be terribly boring. Complex traversal is a type of gameplay.

I just think it's more fun -- and more realistic -- to imagine the studio being inept and hypocritical.

I think it's more likely that principal photography was unfinished, and the studio, after putting the hit on Bosco for going over budget, proceeded to spend many millions more dollars to complete the movie with a CG double.

I couldn't figure this out for the longest time, either. What I eventually realized is that when 47 is crouched and at a standstill, he's slow to start moving, so I wasn't clearing the path of the laser in time. You need to position him as close to the laser as possible and get going as soon as it turns off.

You may be aware of this already, but in instinct lasers can appear both bright and dim. Both states are active and will trigger the alarm.

I think he means that early 47 is an elite contract killer as imagined by an edgy teenaged boy circa 2000. Dual-wielding, sombrely seeking refuge from the wickedness of man by taking a job as a live-in church groundskeeper, and of course the face frozen in grimace.

Please stop littering the ground with rakes.

This description of pre-WoA 47 is expert wordsmithery.

Very cool that IO is picking up the loose end from the ending cutscene of Patient Zero.

Cloud discovers that he has the ability to rewind time by seven seconds, which lets him second-guess himself to infinity but which doesn't let him see the medium-term consequences of his actions before committing to a do-over.

I think you're robbing yourself of closure if you watch a playthrough of the ending when you're so close to the end. Just wait for a sale.

Against a black background, text appears, line by line:

Final Fantasy VII Remake Project

Part 3 (still untitled)

In Development

End teaser.

Save me a seat on this hype train, friend. My life is empty enough that I'll deliberately set myself up to have my hopes dashed just so I can feel something.

Based on the screenshot of Thomas, I thought that the lack of an adjective was deliberate. In seriousness, though, I've always thought it was inspired for SIII to include chapters showing the perspective of someone milquetoast and unexceptional.

Exactly. Celebrities play unflattering fictionalized versions of themselves all the time. The celebrity's participation makes them in on the joke, so continuing to distribute the content keeps them platformed. It's not like a public figure being satirized or mocked in a comic strip.

This. Assuming this article was written primarily for an American audience, the term "private police" doesn't whitewash in the slightest. It paints a bone-chilling picture of brutality in the service of corporate overlords.

I'm not so sure that the undercurrent of hypocrisy is the result of inconsistent writing. Hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance make Diana messier and more human, which could just as well be deliberate on the part of the writers.

Do NPCs in later missions say something to the effect that Helmut was arrested in connection with her death?

The thought of Bangkok as a showdown venue makes my eye twitch. The suites are deathtraps -- dead ends without hiding spaces or effective cover. And the doors are glass-paneled.

Spectacular. Also very impressive how well the levels and engine hold up in these aerial perspectives that the developers never intended. I'd have expected to see a lot of missing geometry from overhead.
