@LiquidCartridge I thought you hadn't because of your other comment, sorry!
I mean that's fair, VAs in certain roles just don't work for some people. I have a couple I feel the same about in the RE games, that included Seph (esp Remake, he was a lot better in Rebirth). But we can but wait & see
@LiquidCartridge I get it! But I think that Mustang is both elegant and has gravitas. Yes, there are some hammy bits run for jokes but overall he's not hammy imo. There's a bit of Seph talking in the trailer, if you haven't already seen it.
@FFVIImusic I much prefer the new VA. Tyler never quite hit the mark for me (he was much better in Rebirth but still). It is a shame that there is a switch up but I am still looking forward to hearing more of Travis as Seph.
FF7 Revelation Director Hamaguchi says that the affinity system from Rebirth will be different in Revelation. In Rebirth, Cloud was the central figure whose affinity with characters was developed throughout the game through his perspective.
However, with Revelation, more focus is being put to for all characters to depict each of them properly. They want users to be able to understand each character deeply, so it will be different experience than Rebirth.
I read through the entire long FF7 Revelation Denfamico interview with Hamaguchi. Here are some huge revelations (pun intended 😏) about the game and what we know so far, translated/summarized by me:
-Player choice will have consequences unlike Rebirth, and this will affect the storytelling of the game. Each player might end up with a completely different experience.
-The Highwind airship will be available from the beginning of the game
-The wear system (jobs) will also be unlocked early on in the game.
-New stories will be told regarding places not explored much in the OG
-There are a lot of areas you can access with the Highwind early on, but you might not be able to proceed since enemeries are incredibly strong. They want players to have the feeling of "what should I do first?"
-The scale of the 'open world' feel of the game has greatly expanded
-Vincent gameplay allows him to switch between human form and beast mode with one button. There is no time limit, similar to how Yuffie uses her shuriken mode.
-Cid is very adept at aerial combat
-Vincent and Cid have synergy elements as well as with other characters too.
-Zack will have even more scenes in Part 3 and plays an important role
-The idea of multiple timelines is conveyed through Zack's presence and his part of the story
-The replacement VA for Reno has been decided, and Reno and the Turks will have a lot of screentime in this game.
-Wutai is incredibly fleshed out this time around, and the Turks will also be a part of it. Wutai will have a very political storyline involved.
-Midgar is back in Part 3 and you can explore it again, and you may even encounter some Deepground characters as well...
-Rocket Town is indeed in the game. Hamaguchi says they actually wanted it to show up in Rebirth, but they decided to have it in Revelation instead. It will be accessible towards the latter part of the story
-The underwater area will appear in Revelation, but he can't delve into details just yet
-Hamaguchi says that OG FF7's Knights of the Round summon was something that came up in discussions in every part of the FF7 Remake series. They are currently developing the content to be worthy of its epicness, so he tells fans to look forward to seeing how it will be shown in the game.
-FF7 Revelation does indeed have an ending, and it is one that Hamaguchi is proud of that serves as a conclusion to a series that has taken more than ten years. As for what that ending will be, you'll just have to experience it yourself.
-The affinity system from Rebirth will be different in Revelation. More focus will be put to some extent for all characters to flesh them out properly.
-If you want to learn more about a certain character, you will be able to do so in a way that will deliver a different experience than the one in Rebirth.
-Hamaguchi doesn't really like the concept of multiple endings and as a creator wants to deliver a confident ending to the FF7 Remake series; HOWEVER, player choice in Revelation will heavily affect what outcome you get that actually changes the storytelling of the game.
-Mini games will not be less in number, but they are toning down the difficulty for players who had issues with them in Rebirth
-The slap fight between Scarlet and Tifa is indeed still in the game and will be a mini game lol
-The theme of FF7 Revelation is "resolve." Everyone has followed the journey of Cloud and his friends for almost a decade at this point, and the story is filled with determination as it heads to its finale. The development team has put their resolves into delivering something truly great for everyone to enjoy.
The Green Party is calling on the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson to reject the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice.
Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.
@florence_luna_@FScully72@sally_hines I've been sexually assaulted in the ladies by a non-trans lesbian. Doesn't mean I think lesbians should be banned from taking a piss.
jaybabyfood thai interpreters about working with ATEEZ:
(note: thai fans (even non-atinys) are praising Hongjoong for how caring and attentive he was. and he’s currently going viral on thai twt🥹):
🗣️: Which artist have you worked with that has been the most impressive?
👩🏻: It might not be what he said, but his actions. Backstage is chaotic, and interpreters are often overlooked, especially during concerts. The artists/idols don't even know what the interpreters look like or who they are. But there was one person who really impressed me. I was translating, and while he was changing costumes, he came over and asked if we were okay, if what they were saying was alright (basically that he wasn't making things difficult to translate). I felt like, "Is this even possible? Someone's looking for me in this dark corner?" I told him “I’m perfectly fine.” I was so impressed because he's such a detail-oriented person, even considering whether he might be making things difficult for the translator or not. I was truly touched.
👤: Who is he?
👩🏻: Hongjoong from ATEEZ. I'm really impressed. I've met ATEEZ many times over several days, and every time I've met them, I've been so impressed.
👤: ATINY is smiling right now/ATINY must be very happy.
👩🏻: ATINY is smiling right now. Hongjoong 👍🏻 is really cute. And the other members of the group are also very nice. Sometimes when they're going on stage, and they see me, they'll 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 turn around and ask if we've met before, because normally interpreters can't initiate conversations (with the artists). They'll say they remember me and that they met me at KCON?
👩🏻: I'm especially impressed with them.

(from me🥺 — thank you so much for telling me about this and provide a translation❤️🩹
once again Hongjoong and ATEEZ prove they are some of the kindest and most humble people ever🫂)
@JOONGIESNO1 Isn't there another filmed account of a translator saying Ateez, especially Hongjoong, really impressed her because of his level of humbleness and kindness in paying attention to all staff involved? I would love to find it again.
