Also, me being the clueless person that I am, I wasn't sure about something but somebody independently saw the scene exactly the same way.

AVALANCHE'S bomb did little damage in this. It was Shinra causing their machines to go haywire that led to a much more dramatic explosion. So AVALANCHE are not murderous terrorists in this.

Fuckin' called it. Then again, so did a lot of people.

I mean they're still TRYING to blow it up right? Presumably if their bomb failed they'd just come back with a bigger one until it worked. They're only technically not murderers.

I’m pretty sure someone at SE or Sony is gonna get fired into the sun.

Hopefully the lesson they take from this isn't to just not have a demo for part 2/3.

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.

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.

Yeah if this is a sequel in disguise that sounds about right.

Wasn't there a leak that said a Jenova form is the final boss? Wonder how long this is if they're showing the final boss in the trailers...

EDIT: I was going to ask if they really lip synced both language versions but apparently they have some auto-lip syncing program they use that they've had since FF13.

Unless it's a complete technical mess it's going to be at least decent. My only worry at this point is how long it is.

Here's a hotter take: the majority of people who play this will not have played the original, and only have the vaguest notions of what happens in it.

To be honest I played the original and I only have the vaguest notion of what happens in it.

Where do you guys think they’ll end part 1? The Nibelheim flashback at Kalm seems like it’d make the most sense, assuming they still have the flashback there. Ending at Kalm would also let it have a bit of postgame with the chocobo farm and probably some extra stuff and a hidden superboss or two.

20 years later I just realized Jenova only looks like a female human because it was imitating a Cetra when it was "killed".

Probably not. Nibelheim is deliberately spelled that way in Japanese (ニブルハイム niburuhaimu) vs Niflheim (ニフルハイム nifuruhaimu). Just like Midgar deliberately dropped the 'd' in Japanese (ミッドガル middogaru vs ミッドガード middoga-do).

What about the Midgar Zolom?

I assume SOLDIER after the Nibelheim incident is basically a shadow of its former self after losing Sephiroth, Zack, all the Crisis Core characters, which is why they’re only good for random battles for the FF7 cast.

The remake is probably going to expand on how SOLDIER is doing since there seems to be at least one named SOLDIER chasing the party(the guy on the motorcycle from the trailers).

Was anyone else taking a lot of seemingly unavoidable damage? Are you meant to have to chug quite a few potions? I think I used around 10 throughout the demo.

Also, he's a robot, so who gives a poo poo if he "dies"?

Which brings up a point I never considered: how do items and healing magic work on him? :psyduck:

Reeve doesn't control Cait Sith all the time so there's an AI in the robot that controls it when he's away or busy. The AIs are unique so the Cait Sith that dies and the 2nd Cait Sith aren't exactly the same. Still, his "heroic sacrifice" is meant to be a joke. Especially when the new Cait Sith appears just as something dramatic is happening.

I really don't think you can judge the difficulty of a game from a demo of literally the first level.
