Poll of the Day > What are you looking forward to most in the ff7 remake

(+) Yeah! (+)

Chocobo racing obviously.
And don't forget the snowboard game

Aerith not dying.

Yeah, it's only speculation, but this is pretty much the biggest point of contention in the fanbase (and boy do the developers know it, and even teased it) since it was discovered the remake wasn't necessarily going to follow the original story. I want to see them have the pal spheres to make it happen.

I'm waiting for the Gold Saucer to be remade as a real-money microtransaction hub with slot machines and loot boxes.

I'd rather see them have the orbs to still make her death completely unavoidable, and rubbing everyone's nose in it.

I think what they might be going for is that she has to die for all the right dominos to fall.. I can't remember what movie that was, not Donnie Darko, but something.

As stated, I am aware a large portion of the fanbase is upset the remake deviated from the original story at all.

But for me, it's more interesting if they had to write the rest of the story where she's still there, over just following the original story where she isn't.

"The real twist is there is no twist" is basically The Last Jedi "subverting expectations" in a bunch of ways that don't matter and just make the writing nonsensical, then keeping things the same where they could have actually deviated from the base formula and made they story more interesting.

At least that's the opinion of someone who doesn't see FFVII as religious scripture and rather see a new twist on it that forces them to make real changes in the future games.

Which is the real reason why I doubt it'll happen, it'd take too much effort to rewrite the story that heavily.

Cloud and Aerith on their date at the Gold Saucer and Cloud's mental breakdown and Cloud's incredible emotionally dramatic response to Aerith's death.

Nomuras crazy stuff....

If you collect 99 Tissues you can revive Aerith

they already fucked up the story, i guess it'll be cool to see the gold saucer and cait sith.

An episode of Star Trek DS9 comes to mind where they go back in time and inadvertently save the wrong person, leaving them in a situation where said person, despite being so good, has to die in order for time to be corrected . . . if I'm remembering that episode right. It's been over a decade and a half since I watched it.
