SAC JP officially finished (until the 1.5 update)

This is a great question that unfortunately doesn't get an answer—possibly because there is no answer other than "level gating." But even then, the level gating only restricts what you can do in certain areas, not your access to them.

Rufus Shinra—CEO of a world-dominating megacorp—needing to steal Cid's dinky little plane to go after Sephiroth is by far the funniest thing in OG FFVII.

FF7 scenarios with pre-rendered backgrounds were always a mystery to me during childhood; but even to this day it's still something that amazes me. Now you can inspect every single Final Fantasy VII stage, including the 3D path + variations. #FF7 #FinalFantasy #FFVII #PS1 #PSX #RetroGame

Wrote about my feelings on Sora with an AR-15. I lament the decline of publishers Giving A Shit about brand image, and how this crossover is a quiet admission that KH's crossover magic no longer holds the lustre it once did in our post-MCU, Fortnite world: www.respec.net/feature/224-...

real fun game to play is guessing in SAC what localization FFVII Remake will use for attack names and always underestimating how Extra it will be

Also this was the interview where Kitase most succinctly lays out FFVII's story structure. I think about it a lot when looking at the Remake series and the various improvements, missteps, and compromises it's made with the source material

TurquoiseHammer @turquoisehammer.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

one of Kitase's early FFVII interviews has always stuck with me. he talked about wanting to "break the grammar" of the modern video game. FFVII upended the formulaic pacing of previous RPGs: move around uneventful maps -> get to flashy scene in important location -> boss fight -> rinse and repeat.

FFVII event planner Jun Akiyama was responsible for creating Cid's running animation. The rest of the staff loved it so much that at one point they had all the NPCs in the towns running around like Cid. Akiyama eventually caught wind and put an end to it. (Famitsu #1224)

This is a great example of how the popular open world approach just smooths everything down into checklist tasks. Epic world-spanning quest to obtain a legendary summon? Doesn't matter, gotta go though the same quest-giving interface you used for finding a lost dog or some shit

Been speculating since rebirth released that we'll skip icicle lodge till the return trip. It sounds like there might be some narrative device that starts us out right at the edge of the crater anyway (crashed Tiny Bronco? Kinda repetitive but would explain why it was fixed)

fuck. I almost had a reason to get a switch 2 finally

TurquoiseHammer @turquoisehammer.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

you see the og storyline is respected because we got these guys in robes (no, not those other guys in robes, these ones fly) who know about it and are trying to keep it on track. But also we haven't done anything to diverge from it anyway so uh

TurquoiseHammer @turquoisehammer.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I think there's some historical revisionism about how directly the OG tackles fossil fuels and climate change as a theme (it's much more about the perils of nuclear energy and bioengineering) but imo all the more reason to be addressing it in Remake

I'm sure it'll be okay but it's nice to see nintendo make a big misstep like this. they need a little kick in the balls

Spoke to the Persona 4 team about elevating the game's CRT aesthetic, levelling up from P3 Reload, and preserving the then-contemporary, now-aged feeling of each Persona title even as they get remade for new audiences:

one of the cool (not) things we have to do porting SAC to Japanese is check that all the kanji in the early material scenes can actually be displayed in game, so I have to check them against the kanji table in Nojima's debug room
