There’s a recent interview where either Nomura or Kitase say the Honeybee Inn scenario has been expanded rather than cut.

Seriously, I love that they’re keeping (and adding!) a lot of goofy poo poo here. This doesn’t look to suffer from the you-will-take-my-anime-seriously syndrome that a lot of the Compilation stuff suffered from.

This channel has (presumably) all of the music ripped from the demo, and there's multiple variations for songs like the main battle theme, the boss theme, and the bombing mission theme, and they're all :perfect:

There’s also tracks from (presumably) an in-game jukebox, which has a ton of fun FF covers, like an 8-bit version of 13’s battle theme.

There’s some script leak stuff that suggests somewhat major story changes. Or additions, at least.

HERE BE SPOILERS:

Hojo wanted to breed Aerith with G-Type SOLIDERs, referencing CC. Sephiroth seems to be quite chatty with Cloud in his head. The “Watchers of Fate” are way more integrated into the story it seems, with Aerith and Red straight up explaining what they are - they even appear and interrupt Hojo as he tells Cloud he was never in SOLDIER. Apparently they act as a sort of “destiny police” for the Lifestream, and appear to those who are trying to deviate from the will of the Planet.

A lot of things so far seem positive, and even the things I don't like are very minor, but the new major plot element is so dumb that unless it has like, some superb execution, all I want to do is to mod the poo poo out of it.

Like, they say it was one of the ideas originally planned for OG VII but was scrapped due to constraints, but it’s such a Nomura-circa-2007 concept that I find it hard to accept.

This is absolutely the case for pretty much everyone between 20-25 I know who are looking forward to this game.

My best friend is 32 and a massive gamer, especially classic games, and has never played VII. He knows the characters and basic story through cultural osmosis. He always talks like he’s played it, though.

“I’m just gonna wait until the remake” has been his excuse since the first rumors during the PS2 era.

The dialogue leaks for the Shinra staircase climb, while removing Tifa’s “retard” comment, are still really funny. EG:


Cloud: Shut up and move.
Tifa: Still not there yet.
Barret: Almost... Real close now!
Cloud: Sure about that?
Barret: It's called...bein' an optimist!
Barret: This sucks! I wanna go back!
Tifa: You want to go down all those stairs you just climbed?


They’re really nailing the characterizations.

OK, but it turns out it's pronounced Mack-oh, and not Make-oh, because :squeenix:

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)

Th sucks to pronounce as a non-native speaker and was the last thing I learned and only because someone was really adamant that I stopped pronouncing th as d. When looking for ways to pronounce it the number 1 tip was "place your tongue between your teeth" which incidentally was also something I learned in school never to do, so imagine my surprise.

As for the other names they're pronounced locally as Lilitch, Mereditch and Gwynef. Also, Sephirot. The Japanese never even bothered to get Sephiroth right (Sephiros) and it's unlikely they ever will. Don't really blame'm.

‘Th’ is just one of those sounds that exists in a very limited number of Germanic languages, and is super hard for anyone who didn’t grow up with it to adopt. I remember (even as a native speaker) pronouncing it as ‘f’ until I was about 4 or so.

Kinda like the Japanese ‘r’, which is some monstrosity sitting somewhere between an ‘r’ and a ‘d’. That took me ages to get down.

th sounds are generally pretty rare outside of the linguistic abomination that is English.

Most languages are an amalgamation of dialects to some extent, but English truly is an abomination. The Saxons kept getting owned by everyone else, most notably the Normans, which led to something that sounded like they were trying to speak German and French simultaneously. Add a penchant for just making poo poo up with no rhyme or reason for a few hundred years and you officially get The Worst Language.

That's because English spelling and orthography isn't accurate to the way people actually pronounce words.

Another good example is how English has something like 11 vowel sounds, but only five vowel letters.

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.

I’m almost certain it’s going to end with them standing outside Midgar planning their next move. Ending cinematic might show Kalm in the distance while the credits begin to roll.

Then part two can begin with the flashback. First scene of the entire game being the truck in the rain.
