    2 chapters away from beating 16. This playthrough has been much more enjoyable as I completely ignored any side stuff and just rode along the story. It’s a really good action game. If you play it like I am and come to terms It’s not a traditional RPG FF, it's a 9/10 game. 


    Take that XVI talk to the XVI thread and leave it out of the FFVII Rebirth thread!

    Tough shit! Games should not be made with the idea that every gamer is going to see every scrap of content. That's such a tiring way to design games and doesn't leave any interesting stories to tell since everyone does every single thing.


    There's so much weird hidden shit in OG FF7 that I'm still learning about because it involved you going to certain areas during specific points in the game when you might not have a reason to go there, it makes the game world and story feel so much bigger than it was because you never know what little scrap of content is left over, what little hints are out there.

     

    Hell, if I recall correctly, the truth about Sephiroth is actually completely missable in the OG game.


    Shit, most people never saw

    Spoiler

    Aerith’s Final Limit break in the game itself because they didn’t realize you could go back to Junon on the first disk WITH THE CAR.

    I'm looking forward to both this and Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien TV show (probably moreso the  TVshow because I think Hawley is a better filmmaker than Fede Alvarez, at least so far). I'm not as down on the Alien movies as some are (given my love of the two new ones by Ridley Scott), so now's as good a time as any to rank them, are they all mostly bad? I don't really think we should count the two AvP movies but I did so for completeness's sake. I'm sure most here will disagree with my "good" tier.

     

    Great:

    -Alien

    -Aliens

     

    Good:

    -Alien 3: The Workprint Edition

    -Prometheus

    -Alien: Covenant

     

    Decent:

    -Alien Resurrection

     

    Bad:

    -Alien 3: The Theatrical Edition

    -Alien vs. Predator

    -Alien vs. Predator: Requiem

     

    Get out of my head.

     

    The Alien 3 Workprint Edition has grown on me, especially as an adult where I know most of the actors now. Covenant has problems, but man, Fassbender is so good you can overlook it.

    I'd still be careful on posting even mild spoilers for now. The Rude thing isn't a huge deal, but I'm trying to avoid anything story-related.

     

    I'm finished with the side stuff in the Junon area. One thing I thought was interesting was 

      Hide contents

    I thought I recognized the "King" in the Condor side quests, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Once that final cutscene plays with the Clash on the Big Bridge, it hit me. I never played 5 front to back or his boss battle in 12, so I only modestly know about Gilgamesh.

     

    Also, the piano side thing is actually kind of fun! And it provides a really beautiful version of classic tunes, as well.


    Shit, that’s my bad. I was operating under the mindset that everyone is chapters ahead of me and I forgot you were behind me.

    Just wait until you get to the chicken side quest in the next 2-3 chapters :p 


    There’s so many fun things with Rude that they expanded on in these two games. I love that they confirmed his crush on Tifa in the last game when he jerks the helicopter so that Reno’s aim would be off when he’s about to shoot at Tifa during the Sector 7 plate collapse scene.

    Yes, the relationship is tied to that.

     

    Some notes though: first, Aerith and Tifa will just have more opportunities so they're going to be the default if you're doing everyone right. Second, there are specific non-dialog moments where you must choose someone over the other which can lead to a tie breaker. Third, an additional tie breaker is how much you use synergy skills and abilities with each character.

     

    So you should be able to do everyone well and still have a preferred person.

     

    I have, however, deliberately tipped the scales a couple of times :p 


    Okay, there’s my next question: I feel like I don’t know how synergy works.
