Remember when Reno directly murdered an entire sector of the city's population, and then they spent the rest of the game and all of Advent Children trying to convince you that he's actually a pretty cool and likable guy?

Well, it's also got anime character designs and those tend to have a lot of unnatural hair color.

But yeah, I just thought this was interesting. If you don't, no need to be an ass about it. (Not you, the other people ITT)

The Turks sucked. They were supposed to be badass secret agents but just get their asses kicked and run away all the time.

That hasn't happened in remake yet right? Really curious if they make him out to be a sociopath for that part

You joke but I just looked it up out of curiosity and it does have some importance in determining character traits in FF...lol.

Not just FF, but a lot of Japanese media. Character profiles for games, anime, light novels, etc., from Japan frequently list blood type.

Haven't played FF7R, but apparently the Sector 7 Slums now get evacuated before the plate drops, lol. But retconning's a small price to pay for Reno's coolguy rep.

Yeah they did this frequently in old games. Even Street Fighter 2 tells you everyone's blood type, lol

I hope Square realizes that this will cause some issues with another characters back story.

it doesn't get fully evacuated. Basically just junk town. Reeve says many people still died.

I'm betting they don't give a fuck. I'm only going off of scene snippets from a the 'Everything Wrong With' vid, but Barret apparently gets killed by Sephiroth in Shinra Tower - as in actually impaled and pronounced dead in a cutscene - and the Whispers just bring 'im right back. So complete nullification of the impact of character death notwithstanding, when it comes time for Aerith to get her big dramatic death, I predict one of two things is going to happen: she's either going to live, because this is the new reality where everyone's happy and nobody really dies or...Sephy and sword start descending on her in slo-mo, Aerith looks up and sees the Whispers, who slowly and dramatically shake their heads, and Aerith nods stoically, accepting her sealed fate as Sephy runs her through. And I am going to laugh my silly ass off at either outcome, which is the very last reaction I should be having over that scene.

It has. But a lot of people get saved. Also Rude presses the button in the remake, not Reno

Those Whispers are dead by the end. So death is still a real threat. And I'm glad because I thought the whole Whisper stuff was dumb. But I liked the other added story content.

All I can think is, "I wish I could read Japanese that fluently."

Wait, really? As in they or others like them aren't coming back in future episodes? I have a hard time believing Nomura would abandon a fanfiction-caliber deus ex machina like that after it's been introduced, but this does give me a sliver of hope for the rest of the remake if true.

The final boss in the remake is The Whisper Harbinger which by destroying it gets rid of all the other whispers. So while death now has real consequences (no more stuff like Barret surviving), there's also the notion that they're not there to keep the original story from happening the way it should so anything can happen now. Although the writers have said the story will still be pretty damn close to the original so I won't let myself get too worked up about speculation at this point.

Yeah, the whole big Kingdom Hearts-esque fight at the end was the party defying fate. They fought the Whispers of Fate, and in doing so they changed some big events like Zack being alive in another timeline. The official Ultimania book confirmed that the Whispers are gone.

The crazy thing is that at the end when they're defeated, Sephiroth comes up to Cloud at the Edge of Creation and essentially reveals he wanted the Whispers dead too, because him attempting to change fate caused them to appear. So the big theory going on is that Sephiroth from the future (Advent Children, as evidenced by his black wing) went back in time to try to change events (the concept of time doesn't exist in the Lifestream I'm guessing), the Whispers appeared to try to fix things as Sephiroth's meddling created a butterfly effect, and Sephiroth basically tricked the party into killing the Whispers so he can do what he wants.
