Also, even in Story Mode, regardless of how the best-2-out-of-3 matchup ends if the Story doesn't say they were killed, they weren't killed no matter how brutal the match ended. Also the MK timeline has been reset a few times now. Edit: loving snipe. Agents are GO! fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Jun 16, 2020 |

If you want to be MAXIMUM NIHILISTIC every fatality is canon and part of an endless chain of in-universe timeline reboots.

The MK timeline has been reset so many bloody times that it's all pretty much irrelevant now.

Schwartzcough posted:https://clips.twitch.tv/CogentVenomousYakOptimizePrime  Definitely the most bizarre choice in the flow of the montage. I agree with the take that this is one part where the original was superior in storytelling and style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efnZd1PXTRI&t=629s The shot of the newscaster getting murked on television while the plate drops in the background, Shinra listening to opera drowning out the carnage outside

The arbiters are a pain in the rear end on Hard without using Lightning Elemental armor but Sephiroth is a blast.

Counterstance and knowing what his named attacks do makes the Sephiroth fight on Hard not all that difficult. I barely switched away from Cloud in that fight since both Tifa and Aerith had maxed Steadfast Block. E: Saving Bahamut for his final phase was huge. anakha fucked around with this message at 11:25 on Jul 6, 2020 |

Meanwhile I had no problems with the Arbiters but had to restart the Seph portion of the fight a bunch of times.

Hey question about the soundtrack here, does anyone know the name of that track that plays in the train yard between the Ghoul and Eligor fights. The tense one with a few notes of the Turks theme in it? I can't find for some reason.

On the soundtrack, the tracks between "Ghoul" and "Eligor" are: - Alone - Black Wind - Waiting to Be Found The most tense of those is Black Wind, so maybe that's the one you're looking for?

It was on YouTube as Fight for Survival (alternative) for a bit but it got scrubbed when the soundtrack came out.

It's potentially a track that never made it to the OST. Some kind soul on Twitter directed me to this rip of the music that plays at the End of the Road section before you fight the Arbiters/Sephiroth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV21sTWEbeY EDIT: I say "rip", I haven't ever explored sound options so I don't know if you can turn off all sounds but the music and someone just recorded this bit haha. gredgie fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Jul 6, 2020 |

So... https://novacrystallis.com/2020/07/final-fantasy-vii-remakes-second-part-is-in-full-development/ quote:According to co-director Motomu Toriyama, [Roche] has a high chance of reappearing in the next installment. Most important takeaway imho

That's interesting. Nomura's interview essentially confirmed the old theory that "people can see the whispers when they come into contact with Aerith." However, there are clear examples of people seeing the Whispers without coming into contact with Aerith, such as Rufus near the end of the game, or Tifa/Barret/Jessie before the second bombing mission. Meanwhile, people who DID come into contact with Aerith sometimes can't see the whispers, such as Tseng near the end of the game, or Reno in the Church or on the Pillar, or Rude at the Pillar. Now, Tifa/Barret/Jessie/Rufus all came into contact with Cloud after he came into contact with Aerith, but unless whisper-vision is contagious, that doesn't solve things.

I didn’t pay attention to any of the hype or build up pre-release, and got out of the Shinra building thinking “I can’t wait to get out of Midgar and see the rest of the world!” rip

I'm sure it's been talked through, but have stayed firmly clear of this thread so will hold off on full judgement till I've read up. But just finished and eh, game was alright. Some great stretches in the first half, but also some bits that made me want to switch off. The highlights were "source material with some embellishments" the absolute low points were the original content (the bike race/whole Jesse chapter, ending). Wait and see I guess. Don't think we're going to get a more sophisticated version of the stolen identity/weird twin peaks style journey through Cloud's mind though, unless doing that challenges destiny/kills a god/can have a character doing bike flips. Edit: did successfully make me want to replay the original, though. Mesopotamia fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jul 22, 2020 |

Could Rufus see the whispers? I remember there being a scene where he and Tseng looked out onto Midgar from the HQ, but they had no reaction to the whispers that were completely covering the building. I thought it was meant to be ambiguous whether they could or not.
