Dude no way

Iconic Aerith birthday post

The world isn't ready to learn about inspire and how Cait is a magically animated doll (on top of also just being Reeve sometimes too)

Turq and I did an interview with RPG site. Feel free to check it out!

Final Fantasy VII turned 29 over the weekend. The first of two features I have planned for the anniversary is an interview with @shinraarchaeology.bsky.social about the Shinra Archaeology Cut mod, the retranslation, restoring cut content, consistency, coffee, & more: www.rpgsite.net/interview/19...

This effect also looks way better now

We put the epilepsy back in FFVII (Flashing lights warning, obviously)

CLOUD! FUCK! THEY PUT ME IN THE JAR!!

Cloud✨ #FF7R

So they're releasing a new steam version of ff7 that will likely take some time to become mod compatible, and will delist the current version once it is out. The current one is on sale for just $5 rn so you may want to grab it before it's gone forever lol.

The Knight in Deltarune is Sephiroth done more effectively than Sephiroth has been done since 1997.

The one true name

My baby is of course the PC mod with all the cut content and extra bells and whistles, but many people have asked for this over the past year so I am glad our friend HitByBricks rose to the occasion. I hope everyone can enjoy SAC with this rom hack of the PSX version as well.

📣 Big news: Shinra Archaeology Cut is now available for the PS1 version of FFVII! With this patch developed by HitByBricks, you can update your existing ROMs and enjoy FFVII with the SAC retranslation applied. (Note: this is Vanilla Mode only, with no restored content.) www.romhacking.net/hacks/9352

Okay I guess I'm just rewatching all of Trigun now. Did Stampede first. I was harsher on it when it first came around but I now respect how it doesn't really give you what you want right away. It shifts plot elements all around to make something fresh, and makes you earn those bits of familiarity.

I will never forgive new Trigun for Legato's haircut

Welp, Shinra Arch twitter has been totally purged. Staying there was beyond unconscionable at this point and frankly had been for a long time, but it was hard to let all of the work we did there go. So long, bluebird. (We will continue to update it here, obviously lol)

Watched Andor because I heard it was an actually good Disney SW thing. I mostly agree, but it's funny to see this grounded, grim take on the SW world where all our protagonist have to make huge sacrifices knowing Duke Dirtfarmer, a hobo, and some drug dealers are gonna come in and save the day.

With the new "Dear Destiny" novel coming out this month that will presumably fill in the time after ToTP ends and before Remake starts (for Tifa at least), do you think Nojima will at all remember these three other Avalanche members he introduced in one scene and never referenced again?

Found this year-spanning Deltarune / Zelda CDI crossover music series and I've never felt more like the target audience for anything. youtube.com/playlist?lis... They're all good, but "Attack of the Killer King" and "My Final Sale" both genuinely made me a little emotional lmao.

Maybe we should just stop engaging with media made after 2021

People are incapable of engaging with FFVII OG on its own terms these days and I find it frustrating. It's always "this will be so cool in Remake!" Bitch it's so cool now.

Detective Instinct released a week ago today. Since then, we... - debuted with an 84 on Metacritic - were ranked #2 in download-only titles on the JP eShop - have gotten 169 reviews on Steam Let's keep it up! Drop us a review on Steam if you enjoyed the game, it helps a lot!

Hojo in the first phase of his boss fight has a completely unique "death" animation where he ingests some Mako before the phase shift that is never seen due to a few oversights in his battle AI and attack data.

#Chemical #Plant #Zone from Sonic 2. I love the taste of #chemicals in my #water. Retweet if you also enjoy #chemicals.

People don't talk about the Protomen enough. "Light's Last Stand" is maybe the best song I've ever heard lol.

For anyone that might be interested, there is an active effort to decompile the PSX version of FFVII that is looking for contributors: decomp.dev/Xeeynamo/ff7... I have a vested interest in this for obvious reasons, so I wanted to spread the word lol.

My boy @gflkpik.bsky.social worked on this beautiful train game. You should purchase it with your funds.

cool things happening

That's twice now YouTubers I really respected turned out to be massive creeps. Go fuck yourself Shayy, I hope you never come back.

Is anyone who follows me a Sefikura shipper who has like, vintage SFW Sefikura art from the 90's in not shit quality? This is drastically important.

I will translate this week one for either: (a) $2,000; or (b) the right to secretly insert a fake 1,000-word scene wherever I wish (if you figure out which scene it is, you're not allowed to tell anyone. And no it is not the Barret x Reeve scene)

TIL Tifa only equips one glove in OG. This has led to the SAC update of all time because we'd made all the names and item get lines plural lol.

Why do the Protomen keep making Wily's songs so fucking gas

Me when I copy paste the Tweet-button text into the bluesky post and fail to notice in my rush to leave for work.

Tweet In today's Last Elixir video, we shine a spotlight on one of FFVII’s most memorable scenes. Enjoy a detailed breakdown of Dyne and Barret’s Corel Prison duel and a measured look at how it was reimagined for FFVII Rebirth. youtu.be/cdYSAIbveN0?...

Here's the one I made that Turq rejected lol

While working on the next Last Elixir video I discovered that Dyne has a bunch of cut behavior in his OG boss fight. He has an unused animation for throwing something (no associated unused attack), the ability to cast fire, and an unused action for yelling at Barret mid-fight (no associated text).

How KH does retcons to tie new events to past games is so funny. Like, yeah, Aqua was totally 5 feet to the left at the end of KH1. Yen Sid always said the key line you just couldn't hear it. Ansem totally told Kairi (age 5) about fictional worlds before shooting her off into space. Yeah. For sure.

The enemy skill "flamethrower" from OG was localized as "fireball" in Rebirth. There's also a different enemy attack also called "fireball" that is not the enemy skill, which was also translated as fireball in Rebirth. We had to match this is SAC for the localization consistency. Fuck me.

You think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because you lack the patience for a 20-year interwoven story. I think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because "Dark Assault" is localized as "Dark Strike" but "Dark Ammo" is localized as "Dark Assault." We are not the same: you clearly have spent your time better.

Sometimes I vanity google SAC, and whenever I find a reddit thread mentioning it there's a solid chance I'll find that turq had already responded to it like three days earlier. Our vanity will be our undoing.

DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE! SEE YA!

🎉 Happy one year anniversary to FFVII Shinra Archaeology Cut—a ground-up OG retranslation that optionally restores cut content. Huge thanks to the tens of thousands of you who've played the mod so far. We're excited to keep refining it in the years to come! For more info, check out our pinned post.

Hay babi, u come here often ;)
