[soundcrusher]

Cait Sith, I love you and your dice gimmik, but could you NOT roll low when I need you to roll high for five seconds!?

Vincent and Sephiroth can't do all the work here!

[buggiesnax]

My most recent hour of gameplay in ff7 rebirth has just been me walking through Shinra manor completing puzzles and screaming "where's Vincent?"

[anakinh]

CHOCOBOUTIQUE

[strfe]

finished rebirth & i'll maybe write more about it some other time but for now i'll just say it was ok

[pjlovesanime]

Love that Sephiroth bullied 2 teenage girls in 1 trailer.

[baizhu-brainrot]

Wait we haven’t been in the Genshin fandom for so long someone fill us in

[pokemonruby]

finally wrapped up ff7 rebirth. all in all an absolutely phenomenal game - it is at its heart a beautiful and fulfilling love letter to fans of the original. with the exception of a few nitpicks (mainly some of the minigames just not landing for me, but that's more so personal preference rather than straight criticism. unless you're fort condor. fuck fort condor) made me tear up on more than a few occasions though i do have some minor complaints about how they handled the story, especially toward the climax.

spoilers -

aerith's death doesn't have nearly as much emotional weight as it did in the original and you would think this would've been their golden opportunity to expand on the 1997 version with our unbounded modern technology and the overall improved story-writing our generation can pride itself on but it's instead very watered down (hah) and while i do understand what they're trying to get at (cloud's exceedingly broken mind subconsciously trying to block out what happened) i just feel like they could've still gone with that idea while maintaining the weight of the original scene. i was fully expecting to bawl and instead i just came out of it very confused and a little disoriented because there was just TOO much going on.

[loregoddess]

starting to watch the alternate endings, and I love that Kazuya's ending is him yeeting Jin off a cliff. As if that has worked as a solution for literally anyone in this damnedforsaken family even once in the history of Mishima fathers yeeting their sons off cliffs

[crisp-art]

WILL FINISH THIS SOON IN HONOR OF VINCENT APPEARING IN THE NEW REBIRTH TRAILER

finally got my blog unflagged (for spam for some reason!!?!)

here's a wip to celebrate ヽ⁠(⁠*ﾟ⁠ｰﾟ⁠*⁠)⁠ﾉ

The recent Genesis-themed wallpaper has actually made me VERY confident in his chances of potentially appearing later in FS as a playable character. Not saying it's definitely going to happen, but I'm even more convinced now than I was before.

If it was going to happen? This is just me theorizing, but you remember how Sephgeal was looking for FOUR missing soldiers, right? Three were dead, and "Alissa" was the fourth, and ironically the only one Angeal didn't seem to recognize. I think if Genesis were to be implemented into the story, it would be through the reveal that HE'S the fourth soldier and is lost somewhere in the woods. Only for Sephiroth and Angeal to turn to each other all "but he's the fourth...who is Alissa???" and that kicks off THAT conflict lol

Again, I'm not saying he'll be there. Who even knows? I'd be sad if he wasn't. But if he were, I think there's a very easy way they could bring him into the plot.

[rottenpumpkin13]

I can see ASGZC playing Smash Bros and Genesis getting fucking *pissed* that Sephiroth is a playable character.

Sephiroth: Zack, for the last time, I do not know Mario personally. He's a video game character. I cannot possibly get his autograph for you.

Zack: Does that mean you're not real? Are you dead!?

Sephiroth: Only on the inside.

*Meanwhile Angeal and Cloud are holding Genesis down*

Genesis: INJUSTICE. PROFANITY. SLANDER. SACRILEGE.

[shadowsageingempress]

Things I want to see in Rebirth and its follow-up:

Vincent talking about Lucrecia

Lucrecia Crescent

Lucrecia talking about Vincent

Lucrecia talking about Sephiroth

Vincent and Lucrecia together

Vincent and Lucrecia slowly learning how to trust, feel safe and love again

VinLu being confirmed (again, because people didn’t believe it in Dirge)

Lucrecia as a party member and playable character

Lucrecia using magic and Jenova genes to fight

Vincent helping her to learn how to use magic and Jenova genes to fight

Vincent (and also probably Lucrecia) getting revenge on H*jo

Lucrecia reuniting with Sephiroth (bonus points if it leads him to a redemption arc)

Also, not in the game, but I think that if Square were to make plushies of Vincent and Lucrecia, that would be adorable

[phoenixiancrystallist]

Maybe it isn't but my thirst sure is

Hey HEY what the fuck do you mean Sephiroth is fully properly playable in the demo that was released to select gaming journalists and streamers, and his gameplay is "suspiciously fleshed out"

HEY SQUARE ENIX look me in the eyes and tell me what are you cooking that required you to put THIS much effort into him. Surely the Nibelheim flashback is not long enough to justify this!!!!!!!!!
