Final Fantasy VII Remake Spoilers Chat

but i guess that's part of the issue of this being in parts

[wasabi_curry 1]

off topic-ish, but if we compare this to the end of Xenoblade 2, if you payed it woudl u say u felt less or more satisfied?

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

i mean sephiroth's history and such

cuz tons of people know what he looks like, but a lot don't really know his story

like KH fans coming into this aren't really going to learn more about him in this for the most part

[Silent Multiverse 7]

well i mean theres a gen of kids that doesnt know him by name or story the 2000s kids dont

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

i do think xeno 2 ending was a cop out having both girls back but the unkown part of it is neat

[wasabi_curry 1]

Cuz this game really feels like its a gate way for people interested to go and look at the other pieces of the compilation

Crisis Core, FFVII OG, and advent children

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

it more so comes down to how you see Sephy in this remake alone
Do you mind the fact that he exists and comes in and out only to be the final boss? or do you want it more black and white where you explicitly know the big bad up front

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

I just have no idea what's going on with him so it's hard for me to feel attachment to him as a villain

[wasabi_curry 1]

Kitase did mention he felt like he couldnt do sephiroth like he did in the OG

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

which makes sense when Sephiroth is one of the most notable villains in the whole series

and extends outside of FF as well

literally if they did it as they did originally he'd have shown up less haha

[wasabi_curry 1]

Cuz theres even stuff from like these short stories that Nojima wrote

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

i mean ypu still have to make the story proepr rather then just riding on his popularity from the og

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

I'm really glad they gave sephiroth a lot of presence

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

you totally do of course

[wasabi_curry 1]

but I tihnk the quesiton is WHY?

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

but it being in parts made it seem too vague for me to care i think is the issue i have

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

im more curious to how a person who had 0 knowledge of FF7 saw him

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

same

[wasabi_curry 1]

( I also really dig that this discord server actually has admins talking to us unliike other servers)

[GoldenDrummer730#4323 24]

Happy to be here ❤️

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

imagine if you were modding that other kh server goldy

[wasabi_curry 1]

what would be the proportion of players that dont know shit about FFVII?

theres another one?

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

honestly my rough guess would be like

maybe 40% of players haven't played the og?

not sure

cuz og 7 sold a shit ton

[wasabi_curry 1]

not like havent played OG

but like not even a KH

have 0 clue about what a FF is

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

ah

you mean like just brand new to ff7 in all forms of media
