Excited to see where they take the franchise from here. Assuming we can all agree that Advent Children and FF7 are completely separate, the Compilation is still kinda stupid because we don’t know how we get to the 500 years later event from the end of the original game. I thought it was clear that the Planet won and humanity died at the end of the original game, but Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus says otherwise. It’s also further confusing because the 500 years later scene with Nanaki is in Advent Children so that’s still the ultimate destiny of the Planet, but we need to fill in the blanks. Surprised that Shinra wasn’t trademarked already since SE tried to do game streaming with that name ages ago: https://www.polygon.com/2016/1/5/10720404/square-enix-shutting-down-shinra-technologies-cloud-gaming | ||

I havent played DoC, but i dont see any evidence pointing toward AC not being coherent with the vanilla timeline. | ||

Sure, it's also devoid of humans, but that doesn't mean the game is making a statement about humanity's persistence in general, only that Midgar is abandoned and has been reclaimed by natural life. I havent played DoC, but i dont see any evidence pointing toward AC not being coherent with the vanilla timeline. EGM: At the very end of FFVII, we see the epilogue to the whole story that takes place 500 years later, so really, you still have another 497 years'[Gahlo note: The previous question they were discussing Dirge, so it's 497 years after Dirge] worth of games and movies to fill in.... Kitase: Ha, maybe I'll try to do that. In a way, I consider that epilogue to be the true happy ending of FFVII. Well, it's a happy ending even though all the human beings are destroyed. [Laughs] | ||

[Laughs] + Show Spoiler + FF7 Original is the bad ending. Red XIII takes his kids to where Midgar was, Humanity no longer exists by then. FF7 Advent Children is shortly after the ending of the original. FF7 Remake is a alternate universe. With Original Sephiroth, and the Advent Children Sephiroth attempting to change the original ending where he isn't killed. | ||

How would you guys describe the remake compared to the original, pros and cons? I know that I could search all this info but I want to know what this community thinks. | ||

How would you guys describe the remake compared to the original, pros and cons? I know that I could search all this info but I want to know what this community thinks. Correct. Part 1 is just Midgar. How many parts there will be and what content they entail beyond that is anybody's guess. Best case scenario release date for Part 2 is Q4 2022. I greatly enjoyed the game. The level design has some unfortunate tendencies, aerial combat is a bit of a hassle, and there are some texture issues due to hardware/game engine at time, but those concerns pale in comparison to what it does well and exceptionally. If the project continues the same quality I would rate it better than the original, honestly. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Maybe I am mishearing but Sephiroth states "Ah the memories." Maybe I am crazy but has anyone heard/seen the same thing happen? | ||

Maybe I am crazy but has anyone heard/seen the same thing happen? I know you posted this a month ago but: + Show Spoiler + I'm a strong believer in the theory that the events of the original FF7 have already occurred in this game, but only Aerith and Sephiroth are aware and remember them. There's a lot of dialogue in this game that seems to prove that theory true. So this ties in really well with that. Very happy for the free upgrade from PS4 to PS5 that they just announced! | ||

Next is the introduction video of "INTERGRADE". It briefly explains the difference from the PS4 version. More detailed information will be provided later. Surprisingly, it will be released soon. The sequel is also proceeding smoothly, so please wait for future information. @ Nomura | ||
