Our visit to the scenic Whirlwind Maze is spoiled when Sephiroth turns up and cosplays as Tifa. He also sets his mum on us, though Jenova DEATH is quickly dispatched. Shinra show up too and it's a whole circus of insanity as Cloud learns the truth, the REAL Sephiroth (sort of like The Real Ghostbusters) makes his debut and the imaginatively named Weapons emerge just to make everyone's lives better.
I always found these scenes difficult. I know it's only text based, but I swear you can feel Tifa's hesitation and reluctance in this scene. The point where Cloud goes from "Pfft, yeah, all illusions mate" to "Please give me the Black Materia" is chilling.
Well done on the limit break thirty-nine episodes in
Also, just to throw it out there... official pronunciation of Bahamut iiiiisssss
Honestly, I think I flip-flop between pronunciations of Bahamut, depending on how I'm feeling.Originally Posted by Wikipedia, the Most Legit Source
One thing I do notice, watching through the FFVII LP is that the characterization of any character you don't bring along for the ride gets abandoned. Outside of scenes where they are mandatory characters (in their personal story) if you don't bring them along, they are left behind. Even when they're present, all they really do is comment on what's going on.
I hope the remake fleshes out the characters who aren't Cloud and Tifa better, in my opinion.
I think it'll be tricky to do unique dialogue for all the characters in each situation.
Scarlet proudly announces on live TV that she is going to execute Tifa to placate the masses, failing to see the obvious flaw in her plan. You know those guys who try to get on TV by holding up "HI MOM" signs? Imagine if one of those was a 200ft rampaging monster and you've got a good idea of what's coming next. Barret, Cait Sith and Yuffie pursue their dreams of a career in journalism, Tifa has a catfight and Cid encourages a mutiny. It's all going down!
So wait, I've never understood: Is Cloud really a real person with Zach's memories? Is he actually from Nibelheim? Or is he some weird goo monster?
Cloud is a real person with his own memories and he is from Nibelheim (hence why Tifa does have memories of him), but with mako mumbo jumbo he got muddled with Zack. He does get better after his invalid state.
Okay, I just never understood if he was ACTUALLY Cloud just with Zach's memories or what.
Also, fun fact: my dog does NOT enjoy the cries of the planet/WEAPONS' cries.
Funny, I find the cries of the planet quite soothing. Does that make me a monster?
No, all of the murder does that.
Hey, just so you know, video #40 is no longer working.
Thanks, I think I fixed it.
Even when I was 12, the slap fight between Tifa and Scarlet bothered me. Tifa was a badass kickboxer, and she was letting some skanky bureaucrat get in a slapping contest with her. I didn't even think "sexist," just "punch the bitch's lights out."
I never got to see this part of the game because I only ever played it on the PlayStation which doesn't have this scene.
???
It does?
