Made it through the Kalm flashback in FFVII Rebirth! I like that it was a pretty faithful recreation of the original (in terms of the scenes and the dialogue, at least, not the expanded gameplay stuff like the Mako vacuum lawl). I also appreciated the foreshadowing that you easily pick up on if you've played the original (the multiple hints that the other Shinra soldier is the real Cloud, even almost calling Claudia "mom" during the fire, and the brief tension during one moment in Kalm between Cloud and Tifa that indicates there's some inconsistency between their memories).

Also I guess they're making it obvious from the start that this world in which Zack survived is an alternate timeline altogether. Boss move by Red XIII to take down the pilot and go down with the ship. I imagine there's going to be some sort of merging of the timelines at the end of the game. Otherwise I don't know why they'd be showing us this in the first place.
