Okay, I'm basically done with Chapter 12 of Rebirth.
The Yuffie date was better than I expected, although I'm disappointed that Cloud didn't respond with "...Something" when Yuffie asks him to say something like in the original. Also, I appreciated them showing Cid falling asleep during Loveless. Great callback to a random conversation you can have with him in the original game. I did enjoy the Rufus fight, but I gotta say, I'm beginning to feel that this game has too many boss fights, arena/simulation battles, etc.
Also I guess they decided to make Cait Sith a bit more sympathetic by not having him kidnap Marlene and Elmyra this time. I'm kinda surprised the party is all, "Cait Sith knows the way to the temple," and they don't...just make him take them there. I guess they don't trust him to actually get them there, which is understandable, I suppose. Also they have him leave the party entirely, leaving his gear behind and everything, too. I guess they could do it differently this time around, but they need him to get the Black Materia, so I assume he'll rejoin the party by the end. Maybe they'll wait until Part 3 this time around though.
