@Begaria@alex_kid7 It doesn't matter if the Sephiroth in Re-trilogy hasn't (himself) experienced outcome he's trying to avoid. The fact that it's referenced (especially in a major way) is enough to make it a sequel. We, the player, have already experienced it... that's all that matters.
@ERyomou@Sebbywebz People who spoil things are the scum of the earth. You literally rob someone of the opportunity to experience what YOU did. What right do you have? This is between the creator and the consumer... not you. You can't decide for someone else how they experience it.
@GumballChowder@alex_kid7 "You don't need to know the original" is horseshit and ask MOST fans they'll recommend that you should play the OG first (that's with full knowledge of what the Devs say too)
@Begaria@alex_kid7 Sephiroth "Dr. Stranging" the ways he'd be defeated AFTER we've already been shown one way he was defeated via the original game makes it a sequel. He's "avoiding" an outcome we've already reached in the original game. Him "Dr. Strange-ing" is a referential to the OG.
@Begaria@alex_kid7 The story isn't starting anew, it's building upon the original's story. Cloud and gang fighting arbitors of fate to avoid the OG game's outcome means that it's a continuation of the OG. That's what makes it a sequel.
@alex_kid7 Sequels don't have to "pick up where we left off" or be "what happened next" stories.
They can be meta, self-referential, alternate timeline, "what if we changed it" stories; It can be time-loop, "fighting fate" narratives.
Remake is clearly a continuity of the OG game. Thus...
@NightSkyKing_ This is testament to how much Square Enix new stuff is not feeding the fans (the quality of old). In the 90's-early 2000s... a scrapped project would be forgotten about.
People wouldn't be "hungry for crumbs" if they were eating good.
@Dreamdefenders This is what we mean by "Tether". This is not a Black American woman, and she's trying to use the Black American "Southern" woman persona. And aave style lingo like "We up!". These people always try to use Black American identity to forward their own objectives.
@lazyjusten Max is not an FF fan. He's an "FF7 fan". And I say that with quotes because it's clear he "attached" himself to that game because of it's cultural impact and importance. It's all opportunism with this guy. The other FFs won't get him the views so he doesn't care.
@Hlonz_Dee@MoYeeezy@Akademiks@OVOProballer You see why I didn't reply... These people don't give a damn about hip hop or lyrics. They are just going to argue in bad faith.
@Zantetzuken144@naz_ero Unrealistic... maybe, but goofy and wacky to the point it ruins the vibe? No. You're reaching
Also, Chocobos are the Horses of Gaia. Participating in a lucrative business that DIO runs in exchange for the hope of freedom from his casino/theme park prison isn't farfetched.
