It may just be the way the games shown, or how the translation has gone, but the way the flashbacks for the Promise in VII (the one one shown in Seventh Heaven) and (SPOILER)The Orphanage Scene in VIII is strange - it seams like the characters are actually showing eachother the flash back.


In FFVII, Cloud and Tifa are suddenly in Nibelheim, and Tifa says "Look at the well!" and then the actuall flashback begins, a similar thing happens in VIII, when the characters say things like "What about this?" "Yeah, this is right!" Like they're all WATCHING the flashback rather than actualy REMEMBERING it. If that makes sense...
