Cacoma Knight has the most heart-string tugging "continue?" screen ;w;

Nomura says that initially, FFVII Remake's developers planned to include almost no "flashbacks" to future scenes until the party left Midgar. But the staff kept sneaking in glimpses of future events, and many ended up staying in despite Nomura's attempt to screen them. (7RU, 2020) #FF7R #FF7

March 2 2001, Pokemon Puzzle League debuted on the N64 in PAL territories!
It's the only console Pokemon game to release exclusively to the West market, and not Japan!

Pokemon Play It! (PC) and Pokemon Rumble Rush (Mobile) also never hit Japan, but very few played them in any region!

I wouldn't say that I like OG FF7 more than DCFF7.
I also wouldn't say that I like DCFF7 more than OG FF7.
Inevitably this will sound like a cop-out answer, but I like them both in different ways.

It is true however that shorter games can feel more accessible when one's life is busy.

Evidently it's been a common misconception among FFVII fans that the Cetra are aliens who travel between planets because of this awkward translation lol. First I've heard of it.

Some people in my Discord server expressed interest in hearing a more thorough breakdown of what I think will/will not be included on the Rebirth OST Plus. This will be ongoing for the next few days, and I'll be basing references off my (incomplete) Rebirth track list.

still frame from the beginning of Twin Peaks it is February 24th and Special Agent Dale Cooper arrived in the town of Twin Peaks

Good morning

Cloud explains the PS1 experience

It was madness Tifa... to save progress we needed these memory card thingies that slotted on top of the controller ports. And the original controllers didn't even have thumb sticks!

An Unexpected Extrovert?
Though ordinarily cool and brusque, there’s a side to Cloud that gets caught up in the energy of the moment. When delivering a speech to rouse the Seventh Infantry, he initially struggles for words, but after some positive feedback, Cloud’s spirits begin to rise (RbU, 2024)

The serene and beautiful Kokiri Forest with a river that goes around a giant tree stump, now refurbished as a building though I can't imagine it being built per safety regulations, seeing as it's an obvious fire hazard and can't imagine the termite problems they are having. Anyway, imagine if everyone in the village was Peter Pan and were eternally kids, just moping around and building this village with clearly no sense for style nor function so it's all scattered around with dangerous hanging bridges, hopping platforms over rushing river and no regard for any safety protocols.

A Dutch angle of Link in his green tunic and elven sleeping cap, being startled in the dead of night by the evil Ganondorf (meaning Ganon Village) because he's a provincial yokel, rearing his black horse with demon red eyes, smiling at Link like "look at my ride little boy, I'm so rich so I fill the void in my soul by buying expensive horses and armor, and horse armor, but I still can't do anything about my receding hairline".

Talon the bald man sleeping in his barn looking like if Wolverine grew older, lost his hair but grew mighty mutton chops and still had even more arm hair than before, surrounded by all of his chickens, pooping all over him.

The witch Kotake, looking like a chameleon with her big nose and bulging white eyes and white hair wrapped in a bun. She's wearing all sorts of jewelry on her forhead, ears, neck, is clearly into crystals and homeopathy. I can only imagine what her and her twin sister's household must've been like when Ganon was growing up there, no wonder he's all sorts of wrong in the head.

FFVII Rebirth cover

Tetsuya Nomura says he initially planned on using the "Rebirth" subtitle for the third FFVII remake game, intending to call the second "Reunion." However, he realized the word's meaning fit better with part two, and decided to use "Reunion" for the Crisis Core remaster. (RbU, 2024) #FF7R #FF7

Glenn is 38 years old. Originally a P0-Class operator—an early type of Shinra SOLDIER—Glenn deserted his post following a failed mission 15 years ago. Thereafter, he went about forming connections with various anti-Shinra forces. (RbU, 2024)

Modeoheim, which appears in Crisis Core: FFVII, is one of several sites Shinra considered for a mako reactor. It flourished for a time before being abandoned when construction plans were pulled. A man helping care for black robes in Nibelheim mentions its natural hot springs. (RbU 2024) #FF7R #FF7

Sephiroth smiling

FFVII Rebirth cutscene director Hidekazu Miyake says the team put an unexpected amount of work into making Sephiroth feel human in Nibelheim. The team debated how to do so, and decided to have him do things like cross his arms and pat Cloud on the back encouragingly (RbU, 2024) #FF7R #FF7 #Sephiroth

Just as he suppressed the summoning of Holy, Sephiroth is exerting some degree of control over the Weapons, ensuring they don’t attack him. (UO, 2005) #FF7 #FFVII

If any aspiring composers are interested in making a Deltarune-secret-boss-esque track for FFVII hit me up lol. SAC's getting something special soon.

The new FFVII Ever Crisis 2.5 Anniversary Event is titled "Weapon Showdown: A Battle That Travels the Planet"

Nintendo wanted an American-voice actress used for Joanna Dark.
Rare instead gave Joanna a British accent done by employee Eveline Novakovic!

Eve's maiden name is Fischer; she worked on several of the Donkey Kong games and Ken Griffey Jrs Winning Run with her music/work credited as E. Fischer!

Big news. I wrote a biography on Nobuo Uematsu and it drops this Fall, published by @viz.com. It is jam-packed with amazing revelations about the Final Fantasy composer that the public has never heard about, as shared by himself and those closest to him. This is the definitive chronicle on Uematsu.

"As you can see, this is PlayStation black disc... But you probably won't listen to me anyway, will you?"

That's okay, we got a bonus Castlevania remix out of not doing so, Alucard. 🎶

Here is a handful of pics of Nobuo Uematsu from the actual dinner where we were vibing so hard that we decided to work on a biography together. A few days later I had a deal with @viz.com to publish it and the rest is history. I hope you enjoy this intimate deep dive into his life.

*all of the hugs*
