It's pretty funny that the internet went into a reflexive "Baaaaaw Nomura" at how this game ended, and judging by the recent interviews, he was the only one in the creative room going "Yo let's dial this back a little"

Yeah, most notably you do not even have to damage the first phase of the Whisperers. It just ends on its own after a period of time.

And this is why Sephiroth is going to be like "I really shouldn't have killed Aerith the first time" right before he kills Tifa

It works, too. "Don't fall in love with me, Cloud!" "Hey, you can't tell me what to do. I'm totally coming to save you right now." "Kay"

Narratively, I think Sephiroth has to realize at this point that killing Aerith in the original timeline was what ultimately screwed all his Meteor plans. So I expect him to kill Tifa instead, because Cloud can't have nice things.

You don't have to lose on purpose, you can just pause, pick Restart from Battle and it'll plop you right before the fight started.

...except on the final one, where doing so will plop you all the way back to the Expressway. That was a real questionable decision.

Goddamn beat Chadley's nonsense, finally. The trick was going in with Revive Earrings and not dying all the way up to Bahamut. That way I could kill Ifrit, block Megaflare with my face, die and then finish him off.

I find her incredibly annoying without it. After she gets off Diamond Dust, she seems to go into a rage mode spamming so many bullshit sleep spells that people start dying and I'm trapped in a Raise cycle wasting my MP.

I am so annoyingly close to beating the final Chadley gauntlet, but never quite make it there. Tried going in with Cloud/Tifa/Barret, Ice Elemental armor on Cloud, Fire on Barret. That gets me past Shiva, Fat Chocobo and Leviathan without much worry. Bahamut, I'm fine up until he summons Ifrit. Then I have two options, focus on Ifrit and Bahamut beats everyone to death and/or gets to his Megaflare win button, or I try to ignore Ifrit and he walks around punching everyone to death

Clearly the answer there is everyone should go watch Cube. It's always on Netflix

For pullups the trick is you can't fall down or you'll lose, so don't even worry about going fast, just worry about not messing up your buttons. After ten or so in a row you can pick up your pace.

That would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it?

Yes, but can Doomguy pay off a debt to Tom Nook?

In the cave after Zolomy. She shows up to go "We're going to Junon after Sephiroth and not telling you! Top Secret!"

It took me awhile, then I tried Bad Breath on it and was stunned to learn that actually works. Sucks to be Hell House

Speaking of Sephiroth, I'm assuming if he gets that countdown off you die? I think I finished him at a six count

It was weird since from the stuff I've read, Sam's route is supposed to be the one where you run errands for the pharmacy guy. But I definitely got that and Sam definitely told me to go fuck myself and talk to Madam

Screw Cloud, FF7R makes Tifa into a rampaging kill machine

---

Regarding the seven seconds thing, yeah, I get the feeling Cloud is going to make a heroic save there since that is very much the time it took Sephiroth to kill Aerith. Which...well, it sure would be a thing if he killed Cloud instead, wouldn't it

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Yeah, the item you get there acts as a checkpoint so you don't have to go halfway around the world in the event of death

Pretty sure Dredd survives here, just because he is both pragmatic and terrifying. Carrie probably takes out Al and Vince before Ash lays down the Boomstick. Then he hitches a ride on Blue Eyes...right through a wall and into outer space

A miserable little pile of secrets

I feel like it would be an Al thing to see what's going on with Carrie, go stand behind Vince and point at him

---

We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

That would probably just drop everyone into space. The only real way out is to find the exit bridge

---

I don't know who wins, but Al and Ash would probably get along famously

It won't be as fun as the Morbius comic, where they acknowledged he was like a C-rank supervillain and just wanted to be left alone, but people like Spiderman kept beating him up because he's a spooky vampire
