D is all I need WAIT THAT NOT WHAT I MEANT DON'T SEND REPL-

Yeah, I think that shift is because the Sephiroth we see in R already knows what happened in OG, so now he wants him for something greater than the black materia, an ally, and that fact serves as an argument to why things are different now, the problem is, is that what people really wanted from ff7?

020

That is totally fair, apparently they'll do something with young Sephiroth? But they also did that with Ever Crisis? Who knows what will they do.

Oh for sure, I think that last part is gonna divide all FF7 fans because of how they've been teasing players with how faithful some events are and not. Everyone will have a different posture and I'm gonna be on the "I WANTED A CAIT SITH FISHING GAME" trenches.

That's a real TRUE strike right there

120

You're right, I can see things clearly now and can't wait to see them fighting alongside a reborn Genesis with a Loveless weapon and Angeal fighting the arbiters of fate and linking the story with Kingdom Hearts™!

121

Yeah, I'm still very excited to see the end, I just hope there's a good reason behind these choices many of us don't appreciate, despite not having high expectations, irrational high expectations are still there ^^'

120

Yeah and I think that's the healthier way to consume this experience as a fan of OG, I just suffer when I'm getting REALLY into the remake stuff and then this stuff happens that takes me away from the experience.

Expectations 🤷" Disappointing ending cause they did something way too out of scope from OG conventions? "Well we didn't promise that it was gonna follow the same thread 🤷". At least that's how I feel they're communicating through this art medium.

Yeah and I think even developers are trying to lift that weight with very safe things like that Vincent line I mentioned and the last words that appear at the end "No promises await at journeys end". Disappointing ending cause they kept the same story? "Well it's your fault for having high

How does he become that. It's entertaining, it's believable (in fantasy terms of course) and even poetic.

different but Kefka in FF6 makes multiple appearances and you even fight against him at some point and it's AMAZING because he starts being pretty weak and ridiculous and then you see him different actions that makes you think "whoa, this guy is nuts" and in the end, he's a god, and you actually see

1250

Throughout the game doesn't build the character, I'd assume his constant presence serves the purpose to tell the audience that he's tormenting Cloud but just 3 instances in key points max. is enough to achieve that. I know this is not the case and the purpose of this antagonist is completely

1180

No need to battle against him. So now that we SEE him way too often, that little aspect that made him mysterious is completely gone and tiring, no matter how many "7 seconds" or whatever cryptic line he says, every time he appears I can't help but think: Yeah I get it, move on. All these appearances

1160

Being completely honest, in the original, Sephiroth wasn't that complex of a character, the only reason there was some mystery around him is because we would HEAR about him most of the game from Cloud and not seeing him every 5 minutes. But that was enough to convey the idea that he is a threat,

1210

Another train of thought from this (FF7 and FF6 spoilers). The constant use of Sephiroth in both cutscenes and battles gets really annoying because he keeps saying stuff in a "mysterious" way, but it gets very redundant really quick.

9683

It doesn't help that after that scene there are so many boss battles + all the Zack stuff, so you kinda lose focus on what just happened. Intentional or not, it's frustrating that they have to remind you what just happened in unskippable cutscenes mid fight. It gets really annoying in hard mode.

Already made significant changes on character introductions and pacing, and they have mentioned that the ending of the story will lead to something different or more fleshed out, so I'm expecting something huge for the final boss and not fighting the same bosses again.

1110

So it's just a matter of time to see if those decisions will lead to something worth this repetition. I hope Vincent's line: "expectations often lead to disappointment" is not a message from the developers for us to temper our expectations for the final act because that would be lame, because they

1120

Appearances are way too repetitive. Now how did they make Rebirth's final boss gauntlet different from Remake's? Well, by adding yet another boss form that appears at the end of OG 7, Bizarro Sephiroth... I think it's clear that they're aiming to do something way bigger and different for part 3,

thing with Jenova, there are different Jenova fights in the original but the big one was supposed to be at the end of disc1 (the ending of Rebirth) but it takes away the impact because they added another big fight in Remake with Dreamweaver, the mechanics are different but the concept and character

190

In both gameplay and storytelling. I believe that fighting against Sephiroth in all parts makes it less impressive because of its repetition, he's the final boss in Remake, and then in Rebirth which is a bummer because we already did that and then we're gonna do that in Revelation again. Same

1130

I've mentioned in the past that the crescendo of Sephiroth reveal was ruined in Remake and I believe it's the same case with Jenova by fighting against Dreamweaver in this "illusion" realm thing. This and the fight against Sephiroth kinda ruins the presentation of the story and its events for me

1110

I'd imagine that the developers intended that all three games should have the same weight in its narrative, content and cast of characters. So to follow those rules they decided to anticipate the physical appearance of Sephiroth and Jenova.
