Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Take your time to talk to the NPCs, especially in Midgar. The level of world building in FF7 is crazy.

Yeah now that I'm not a clueless kid I'm looking forward to being able to understand what's going on from a more world-weary perspective.

I used my switch coins to discount it and got it for £2.62 as well, so bonus!

I can't hear the original without adding some of the sound effects automatically. Cloud's sword slashes and the sound of Summons especially.
God this game is still my absolute favorite of them all, anime and all...

My favorite bit of worldbuilding is the unspoken details of the Wutai War. If you check the orientation of the Junon in relation to the parts of Wutai that are chewed up badlands, it's pretty obvious that Junon's cannon was used to shell Wutai into submission.

It watched it once when it first came out and never again because I had a crush on Roz from Frasier and her death scene made me too sad.

Think the demo will be out this month? It comes out March 3rd so a 1.5-2 month gap seems about right. I really, really hope they don't cancel it because of the leak, I really want to try the combat system before I buy it.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
If anything it is a teeny bit lame that the box art, title and cover doesn't say anything about its episodic format. I think there's going to be a few people upset when the game ends at the city's edge and the world opens up.

Maybe call it ffvii part one or something

I think there was a theory somewhere that the ghost dudes of time have something to do with the "Remake" title. As in they are trying to remake the events that originally happened into something else or to restore it after something else changes them.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake is both a remake of the original game and a sequel to Dirge of Cerberus meant to finish out the compilation. Genesis and Weiss from DoC's secret ending are going to get up to some time-fuckery and mess with the canon events of the game, trying to bring about a better future. Or some stupid poo poo like that.

It'll have to be Barret instead of Aerith, as he's the first one to say it, and that's how I learned it's Mack.

Ever since I first played the game in 2000ish, I’ve always said “mah-ko”. But that’s because that’s how it was pronounced in glorious Japanese, which I was definitely teaching my weeb self at the time.

(I actually ended up sticking with it and now I sometimes do translation work, go figure)

This is a weird thing they do. Remembers Moms Are Tough from FFXIII? Voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn. They gave her a nothing role where she had maybe five lines.

And Simon Templeman aka Kain from Legacy of Kain was one of the minor Judge Magisters in FFXII.

I give them some credit since they really do seem to try to shuffle around their casts a lot. A lot of dubs reuse the same handful of voices a lot which is generally unavoidable but Square with all their money and resources bring in a lot of new or lesser known talent. You are more of ten than not going to hear familiar voices doing minor roles.

McGlynn also voices Hydaelyn from FFXIV, which I can't help but hear as Angel from Digital Devil Saga every time.
