#ff7r part 2 wishlist

[hartofhearts]

oh please, toriyama, we know the REAL reason for all the cats

Yeah, I read your interview answer, Toriyama.

—There are so many cats in the Sector 7 slums. Is there a cat lover on the development team?

Toriyama: “Sector 7’s excessive number of cats can be attributed to Wedge. He loves the furry critters so much, he can’t help but bring any stray he finds back home with him. As for cat lovers on the dev team, co-director Naoki Hamaguchi (game design / programming) is one, so he had his cat rendered in-game. Personally, I wanted to make sure dog people weren’t left out, so we decided to even things out by increasing Midgar’s canine population. That’s why Marle—the landlord of Stargazer Heights—can be seen with her own loyal companion.”

But I don’t buy it. Look at you playing it so cool, pretending it’s all Hamaguchi and you’re just there to speak for the dog people lol gtfoh. I know your secret:

FFVII Idea 4 (Toriyama)

…

I want to put cats on town submaps –> Super-cute ones

That’s right, Toriyama, it was YOUR IDEA ALL ALONG. 

(I’m glad your dream could finally come true in Remake. 😭😹🐈)

Obligatory cat tax:

(yes I haven’t played or watched Intermission yet and yes I only want to write new Remake posts after I’ve played through all the new content but yes I can’t get FFVII off the brain so here I am still writing these weird things)

This might be too much to ask, but what's your wishlist for FF7R Part 2? Would love to see your hopes and expectations, if it's alright!

More Tifa back-story. New outfits for Cloud and Tifa after the lifestream scene cause their clothes will stink of mako. Cloud using the fusion blade after giving the buster sword back to Zack as a grave marker. Combo battle abilities. Yuffie's and Vincent's arcs given more attention. Tifa given her own arc separate from the main storyline with Cloud. Cait Sith not being annoying. More CC locations and DC references. More cloti ❤️
