Myrna erasure is actually a hallowed FFVII tradition, and you aren't truly a fan of the OG if you want it restored here

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.

this generated an exorbitant amount of crumbs and Jessica will be disciplined accordingly

Damn was this guy always this fucking dumb

there was a whole explosion in "Rebirth is too silly/cringe" discourse while we were deep into making this (started about 3 months ago) and I almost abandoned the thumbnail because it felt too confrontational, but ultimately kept it. anyway if you want to know why dyne has a tetsuo arm watch this

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?...

time to take this to the next level

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).

feel like people are missing the bigger point that this guy is somehow getting piss directly on his hands?

my ongoing PocketStation ebay search is, unfortunately, 50 percent pants

bro I didn't know she says the thing

I was sort of confused by this at first because there's like a good hour of Laguna stuff in VIII, but I think Nojima must mean scenes where we're recalling something that happened to at least one of the protagonists—and VII has quite a lot. A full two thirds of the cast have flashback scenes!

One thing I always love in older ff games is one-off maps that show a different angle from the revisitatable one you usually see. Lots of these in VIII now that I think about. VII has a few (obviously the church, but also Elmyra's house and Tifa's room)

if the first human on earth had been immortal and earned $1,000 every day of their entire life, they still would not have this much money

while scoring this fuck ass Dyne video we've been working on for 3 months, I ran across a channel on youtube that put out 26 piano renditions of FFVII "Remake" songs in 2013 and they all absolutely slam. highly recommend www.youtube.com/@RafaelOlive...

have you ever noticed Squall's student number is almost 42069

Galbadia Archaeology Cut incoming

A very kind soul happened to save the giant FFVII Rebirth ending theory thread I made in April last year before leaving Twitter. I thought I'd post it here for posterity and a walk down memory lane. Sadly no images were salvaged, so it's just plain text other than this sick picture of a prism. [1/?]

steal her fit ($5000)

have you ever wanted menu-less video of safer sephiroth appearing? if you're like me, the answer is yes

Probably the best interview with Hamaguchi I've seen anywhere. A great dive for fans of the OG curious about how it translates into Remake, and also a really intimate look at Hamaguchi's philosophy and where he may want to go next

me whenever I get to retranslate any of Cid's dialogue

doing something stupid

I know it's a low bar but damn am I relieved to see him clear it

Be it this, be it that, go on and ask the cat! MCM Comic-Con London www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/en-us... See yis aw there! #FFvii #caitsith #finalfantasy

Oh, by the way: I am the host of this on Friday! Please come along for my chat with the cast & director of the FF7Rs. As you'd expect, I can guarantee a level of nerdy deep dive that might not always occur on such panels...

🎉 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.

I'd never put this together until today reading the phrase 晩鐘 (banshō, evening bell) that Yuffie's ultimate limit, all creation (森羅万象, shinrabanshō) can also be interpreted as shinra's evening bell (i.e., herald of shinra's downfall). Maybe I'm overthinking it

this was just a grinch (ps1) clone

it gives me no pleasure to always be right

FINAL FANTASY VII - MIDGAR classic map layout! just the places you visit in the OG game, with some cheating. the game's route goes 1>8>7>4>5>6>7>0. full resolution: www.deviantart.com/vgcartograph...

started dusting my walls. there's dust on those things

Was looking at battle models and realized most battle models with face textures have their faces placed like 7 pixels higher than they should be, leading to them looking more scrunched than they should and losing some detail.

calm down guys this us why they introduced the portal materia in first soldier

we're so cooked dude. (ff7)

the back of the Hercules (PS1) case claims there are hundreds of hours of gameplay lol

Exciting update! Today’s FF7 Rebirth Finale Stream will also be LIVE ON YOUTUBE!! I finally got it working 🙌🏽 Going to dig into everything about the ending: - Revisit some of my thoughts - Cook up new ones with the community 👨🏻‍🍳 - And get some new thoughts from @sleepezi.bsky.social

surprised I've been allowed to keep this list for like 2 years

Based on the new first soldier mini episode, Remake Part 3 is going to follow DoC and use "Wusheng" for the Five Mighty Saints. Not gonna change this in SAC yet but I already feel the headache setting in for when I have to refer to individual saints.

there's a sizeable chunk of the fandom that will read this and immediately think about the Genesis/Weiss cliffhanger, but I would wager all the money I have that Hamaguchi has never even seen the secret ending of DoC. hell, I don't think a single Remake dev could even summarize it for you

gonna get my pet so fuckin blessed
