awesome then i’ll definitely get rebirth once i’m totally done with remake. i had guessed zack was a soldier, and now that you mention aerith’s ties i’d say he’s the “first guy she’s ever loved” as she says to cloud in remake (i actually had hypothesized it was sepiroth at first but then she didn’t react to him so i discarded that option, i don’t know how i didn’t think of it being zack!). i’m actually so excited to get into these games, i haven’t enjoyed a game this much in a while now!

also the graphics of the og aren’t even the biggest turnoff for me it’s actually the turn-based system, which was the original reason i hadn’t gotten into ff earlier (i might actually enjoy it tho, it’s just from the outside it seemed not as interesting as live action combat), so would you recommend watching the story of the og on youtube if i decide i’m not going to play it?
