I saw another of these floating around that was...wrong, so I'm putting this together so people can keep characters' ages straight more easily. I'm not listing everyone, obviously, but characters whose ages get misstated most often.

Does this match up with the wiki or the Ultimanias? Absolutely not! The Ultimania says that Lucrecia was pregnant for three years! The wiki says that Vincent was shot after Sephiroth was born, even though Lucrecia was still pregnant when it happened! The source material, however, is 99.99% internally consistent with regard to the timeline, so I go with that, and that's what we're going by here.

Jenova Project S (1977 · [ μ ] – εγλ 1977)

Vincent: 26-27 (October 13, 1950)

Pre-Crisis Core (2000 · [ μ ] – εγλ 2000)

Genesis: 23 (born early 1977, see first link below)

Deleted scene from Airport '77 x Imagine him saying these words to you. Oh, I would die happily.

Okay! So, definitively, 100%, Angeal is older than Sephiroth. Which says Something about the Project G and S timelines

Q: Aug. 26 will be your first time in Asbury Park in 15 years. How are you feeling about getting back to the city, and do you have any particularly fond memories of playing the city in the past?

A: Are you kidding me? I can’t wait to get back there! Those were great times for me. You know I came back east in '74 and really needed to make music. People may not know it, but I never wanted to leave rock 'n' roll.

Let me tell you (a) little story of how I got to Asbury Park in the first place. I am walking down the street in New York City, mid-'70s and I hear this voice yell out, “Hey Ronnie, Ronnie Ronette,” so I turn around and it’s John Lennon. I actually met John the first night we landed in the U.K. in January '64. Anyway, John asked me how am I doing, and I tell him, "Not good, I need to make music." John said he was busy being a house husband taking care of his son, but introduced me to his engineer, Jimmy Iovine (Walls and Bridges).

That night, Jimmy invited me down to the Record Plant where he was working with a band from Jersey. When I walked into the studio, I met Little Steven (Van Zandt), who was producing Southside Johnny. And (Bruce) Springsteen was there, too, and right on spot Bruce re-wrote a song for me and Johnny to sing as a duet, “You Mean So Much to Me Baby.” They were all excited when I showed up, and more excited when I started to sing. I was surprised they knew me.

After that I started hanging out in Asbury Park with the guys, doing shows at the Stone Pony and all over the place. The second part of my career really started in Asbury Park. Those guys treated me like a sister and really helped me get back to what I loved doing, rock 'n' roll. They always looked out for me, and would never let me get into any trouble!

Q: Forty years ago, you partnered with the E Street Band for “Say Goodbye to Hollywood.” What are your memories of working with the band on that classic single?

A: I was going back and forth to L.A., so the times in the studio with Bruce and the boys were great. The times in L.A. were very difficult for me. Everyone was working hard to find the right song for us to record. And of course Billy Joel, who wrote "Hollywood," used to open up for the Ronettes on Long Island in the '60s when he was in the Hassles.

I also loved the ‘B’ side which Little Steven wrote for me. Those guys were like big brothers to me. It’s the only record outside of their work with Bruce where they are credited as the E Street Band. I look back and really appreciate those days. Not one memory, lots and lots of them, so much fun and a sense of freedom for me which I desperately needed. The guys were great and exactly what I needed at that moment in my life.

Suzuki Tatsuhisa Talks Behind-the-Scenes of FFXV: Part 6

This will be the second-to-last part of the series! Start from the beginning here; go here for the previous part. Listen along from 18:22–21:34 here.

In this part, Tatsu talks to host Shimazu Shintarou (video game industry expert) and assistant host Kubota Miyu (voice actor and singer) about the final camping scene and why he's glad that a line from it became a meme in Japan.

Suzuki Tatsuhisa: We did the same thing [see Part 5 of my translations] for the scene that became the 「やっぱつれぇわ」 meme. [T/N: This line, "yappa tsuree wa", literally "it really is hard'' and localized as "(it's…) more than I can take'' in English, became a meme back when FFXV first released because it could be thought of as a response to criticism of the game and because its casual dialogue made it easy to reenact.] We had so many retakes for the camping scene. 

Shimazu Shintarou: I didn't know that. 

ST: The script for that scene was rewritten a stupid number of times. I don't remember how many times we rerecorded it. Who was there during the recording... 

ST: If I recall, it was Miyano Mamoru [voice of Ignis], Miyake Kenta [voice of Gladio], and me. [Kakihara] Tetsuya [voice of Prompto] wasn't there for the recording. At that point, we were discussing when Noct was supposed to start crying. We tried different points, like the beginning, middle, and end, and even specified which lines he needed to start crying at. We decided on a specific line. 

ST: I think Mamoru and Kenta-san both said, "That's not where Noct should cry." "I get the feeling, like, I know he's all worked up." "The pause in this line. I'm saying this in the most idealistic way, but maybe it's better to start crying from here. This is the best point to start the waterworks." "In terms of nuance, this is the best point for the tears to come." 

SS: Why did you have to have that in mind together? Is it so you know when it is?

ST: It is.

SS: But why? It isn't necessarily the case. The way I see it, the previous take could've been the better one. But when it's like that, it becomes whole?

ST: Whole. 

SS: That's so interesting.

ST: What I find fascinating is how actors have this sixth sense. In other words, it's like an athlete being in the zone**. When you're performing on stage…

ST [to Kubota Miyu]: I'm sure you've experienced it while performing live.

KM: Yes.

ST: When you're in the zone, you can get the audience excited by just looking at them. It's like a mysterious point in time. 

SS: What's going on here? 

KM: [LOL]

SS: It's like there's a common space out here and a wall has appeared between me and that space. 

ST: I don't know what it's like if you're looking at it from the outside. 

SS: You're right about that. 

ST [to KM]: But you get it, right? 

KM: Yeah, it happens in my live shows. 

ST: Like when everything comes together on stage.

KM: When it comes together... It happens, of course.

ST: It happens in the recording booth, too.

KM: Totally. I experienced it while recording.

SS: Interesting.

ST: I don't know how, but all the timings were meshing with each other. We saw where the timing would be. We all concentrated so hard on it that we were like, "It has to be here." We had that in mind together. Everyone on the other side of the recording room somehow got the feeling that it had to be there too.

ST: "It would be the best right here. Could you do it, Tatsu-san?" was what they said.

ST: So the millisecond before I was supposed to cry, I was told to really adjust my emotions and we recorded the line that way.

SS: That's amazing. 

ST: But I was glad. 

SS: Should I play it again? 

KM: Right? I've never played it, but I feel like playing it after hearing about all this. 

SS: I know, I know. 

KM: I really feel like playing it.

ST: Yeah. And to be honest, when I heard that line became a meme, I was so happy I could die. 

SS: Yeah.

ST: We worked so hard on it. It was the result of all of our hard work. Besides, they didn't pick a line from anywhere before that point. If you didn't work your butt off, you wouldn't be able to hear that line.

SS: You're right.

ST: You'd hear that line just before you cleared the game. 

———

I went back to replay half of Chapter 14 just to hear that line again. It was soooo worth it… By the way, やっぱつれぇわ reemerged as a meme in 2019 when the new Japanese era would be named 令和 (Reiwa) and people came up with the pun やっぱつ令和.

**Not me reading "in the zone" and being like, "Ah, yes, KuroBas reference!" (It isn't.)

About Marty Lacker, I remember in the Memphis Mafia book he told this story about how Elvis never met Diana Ross until the 70’s and rejected her when she wanted to hangout with him one time and called her ugly. But if you look up Elvis and Diana there’s an audio of him introducing her at one of his Vegas shows in 1969 and saying that he loves her. It’s just stuff like that makes me question if certain members wanted to make Elvis look bad in their books.

thank you for the ask and I’m really glad you brought this up because I think this shows again that all these men have their own personal biases, and with marty lacker, I’ve wondered if anyone else has noticed the comments he has made about black women and elvis, including this story

to give him the benefit of the doubt, elvis could have really said that about diana ross in private, he obviously wouldn’t call her unattractive or say she was too skinny on stage in public, but I’ve only ever heard marty lacker tell that story (despite him saying another memphis mafia guy was there) and I don’t even see why he needed to tell it because it’s just irrelevant imo

Marty Lacker also says this in the Memphis Mafia book right before he tells the Diana Ross story “He never stopped being a flirt, not ’til the day he died. Except with black girls. He never flirted with (them)”

but this is just blatantly untrue!!! for example I have heard every single member of the sweet inspirations talk about how elvis liked to flirt with them (especially with Myrna but Jerry just had to swoop in 😂) and if you have listened to/watched elvis concerts you could see for yourself that he was extremely flirtatious with them (I’m convinced he was going to go in for a kiss during suspicious minds in TTWII 1970 but then she got a lil nervous 😩)

I sometimes forget the majority of these men were born in the mid 30s to early 40s, therefore I shouldn’t be surprised if they harbor some prejudice but I’ve just never understood why Marty made those comments when there is so much evidence that says otherwise
