If they give X the FF7R treatment I will rage

If they keep the core gameplay and story though that would be pretty hype. Not sure what the point would be though, other than skippable cutscenes

"But you really got guts doin' my boss in like that!"

'doing my boss in' definitely implies killing to me & that's what I thought happened to him right up until he appeared (briefly) in Advent Children. Correct translation is probably something like beat up or w/e

Tseng survives and Elena says so at Icicle Inn, it was just poorly translated in the original version

I think the actual explanation is that there was a secret passage out of the office that he ducked into right after the laser hit

Bingo. X, 6/8, 9

I'm personally hoping they go for maximum ballsy plays and kill Tifa instead of Aerith at the End of Disc One but honestly so many folks have been speculating the same that it wouldn't actually be that surprising outside of the fact they were willing to actually do it.

Biggs is the only one who felt definitively dead to me in FFVIIR.

I dont believe any major character will permanently die in FF7R, aside from maybe the villains. The first game went out of its way to show that none of Avalanche died (Im confident Jesse and Wedge survived because of how their deaths were handled), that no one died in the plate collapse, and the Turks are conflicted and their hands are clean of blood. The only person who dies in that entire game is President Shinra.

Can a potential Sephiroth voter get Fran for me? I'll get Seph in return but I'd like both to advance here.

Cait Sith

MWC offering trades which will be (1) nigh-impossible to complete based on round timing/participation rates and (2) completely unnecessary since it's FoG. I see we're back to business as usual.

Ok now I call bullshit on that, the developers have gone on-record that the overall story would follow the same "axis" as the original game: https://twitter.com/aitaikimochi/status/1546253514661187584

Of course maybe things changed or Nomura was lying, but yeah. I could buy the 3rd game being a very different direction, or alternatively the end of Rebirth veering off like Remake's did, but 50%, I don't buy it.

Hell we've already seen like half the locations we expect them to go in the point-A-to-point-B adventure that makes up the post-Midgar part of Disc 1. I'm sure Costa Del Sol and Gold Saucer (w/ Cait Sith playable footage) following w/ the next trailer.

No way do we get to the point where Cid was the party leader in part 2. Even if we do get past end of Disc 1, there's no chance it goes past the first visit to the Northern Crater.

All I need out of Remake is more Yuffie and Cid screen time.

In other news, the guy who leaked the X remake also said that Rebirth will diverge from the original by quite a lot. Over a couple posts, he said "kiss the original story completely goodbye" and "50% of the game is a new direction if I had to guess". Also playable Zack for a big part of it.

All of you should feel bad

Fort Condor is bad and you should feel bad

I'll take a 10 remake. It does have the second best minigame in the series after Triple Triad in Blitzball.

It seems unlikely to be to come out in the middle of their VII project, but it'd be day 1 purchases for me so I'd love to me wrong lol

There's no way this is true.

I know nothing about it. How likely rumors do you figure they are?
