I don't think the game will be as "open world" as people might think from reading around. Personally I think the statement "Simply pick a location" in mention of how to travel with the Highwind in the trailer means that you can jump of at predetermined locations with some indicator as you fly around showing that you can get off there.

You can fly around everywhere as they said, but like the first segment of Rebirth, the plains, is what, 20% playable compared to the map? And when they show the jump from the Highwind in the trailer, it is over the chocobo racetrack. They might have expanded some areas from Rebirth and around Midgar, but highly doubt the entire world is crafted to play on like in the OG where you can go on small islands, etc.

They did mention being able to jump off at islands, so who knows. I know they said the major limiting factor will be some areas are just too high level for the party at the start of the game. Even "zones" like from Rebirth won't be finish everything there before moving on, some areas will only be unlocked through giving chocobo more traits and/or becoming more powerful to handle higher level stuff there.

I love how in these multiverse things we give 0 F's about the other worlds, although they are meant to be "just as real" as "ours" - Aerith could be from the other world she took the white materia from or whatnot. Multiverse while "cool" and whatever, to me - overall lessens any impact for even "our real" world etc. it just waters down everything.

Absolutely, multiverses shit up everything. The latest Mortal Kombat game has like 20 universes combining so nothing means anything and characters get killed off constantly only to return one scene later. MVs are a crutch for lazy writers and make the audience not care.

This sounds like Rebirth's affinity choices but with more follow up. i.e. Costa beach fight where you pick who to help for an affinity boost - but instead of having a postgame menu option to pick your date Revelation has different cutscenes and/or quests for other party members open up.

Same thing with most big comic brands, DC Marvel Spawn etc. they all introduced MVs. MVs are a ploy to keep milking a cash cow well beyond the expiry date, and diminish the original storyline.

Then lay there as the town-men-folk slowly approach him one at a time to get killed ... I honestly do not know what "effect" they were looking for in that scene

People really forget Crisis Core exists. Of the extensions and “completion” of FF7 it is the best (sans the VERY end)

Zack does everything he wants to accomplish. Is mentored by one of the top 3 (genesis, Steph, Angeal) yet is there first hand seeing the breakdown and corruption and failure of the experiment - one that he is also part of. He fights and fights and wins, yet still has to fight to the point of exhaustion and being overwhelmed by the very people you were created by.

All that then gets blended into Cloud’s retarded brain… and is not helped because Areith sees Zack in cloud and exploits that and essentially screws with cloud- while Tifa is like “bro..” and does not get he is being gaslit by flower whore and the life stream mako dancing around his brain
