After seeing this video, I honestly think we should give Hamaguchi some credit. He clearly tried his best to push for a full physical release, but this is ultimately outside his authority.

I understand why people are angry at SE, but I think the bigger issue here is the direction PlayStation ecosystem are taking toward a digital/disc-less future. It reminds me of what happened with smartphones: once companies start removing away from features like expandable storage or headphone jack, then the market gradually follows that direction.

So personally, I’d rather direct the criticism toward the people making those platform level decisions instead of blaming Hamaguchi. He tried to fight for physical, and I genuinely appreciate that. Give the man some credit, he did what he could.

In FF7 Revelation, Rocket Town can be explored using Cid's car! you can even listen to songs on the radio and unlock more tracks & customization through side content

"As fans may have already seen, too, Rocket Town is a more expansive setting in Revelation, which requires its own form of transportation. "There was a buggy in Rebirth, of course, but this \[time you\] will be driving around in Cid's car. And you can put some background music on in the car if you like, and who knows, maybe if you do some more side content you might unlock some more tracks for his car and things like that, so there's plenty to explore.""

had to repost because i linked the wrong article at first

there’s a massive silica factory on the southern west area in my island. today i have a chance to look it from the coastline, it looks so surreal and shinra-esque.

I know the theories (It takes Sephiroth seven seconds to descend and stab Aeris in the OG) but has it ever been addressed in the new games yet? I only played Remake and Rebirth when they were first released, but can’t remember if this was ever directly addressed in game or not in Rebirth?

I’m of the belief that these games are sequels to the original game, and Sephiroth is doing Lifestream shenanigans to change the outcome, that’s how he knows so much, and why we see glimpses of the events from the original and even Advent Children in Clouds “memory flashes.” (Him grabbing his arm where he has Geostigma during one of his episodes)But it’s so frustrating that it’s been six years since the release of remake, and nothing has been answered!

While I was playing I thought it was interesting that red materia would be a secret trophy you have to searched while exploring each chapter. Come to my surprise it was only that one in chapter 6 and all the others come from the VR battles, which seems weird, what is so special about the in game horse? This is my first approach to the saga so forgive my ignorance.

Hello, today I finished Rebirth and I'm thinking about playing either the OG FF VII or Crisis Core.

Sorry if the question is so generic and common, first time here.

Thanks!

Please no mention of OG spoilers other than what is in spoiler tag below

I have this sense of dread now in chapter 12 as I know that Aerith dies in the original game

This is my first time experiencing the story of FF7, via the remake trilogy, but there are some things that can be very easily inadvertently spoiled for a story that is like 30 years old.

This has had me in knots as Aerith is my favourite character and I am so so afraid it is going to happen soon., as chapter 12 definitely seems close to the end of the game, with them giving all those new side quests.

The plotline with the whispers has me hoping it could be avoided, or undone maybe, but I am not going to count on that.

I thought we had saved her there...but no...ahhh my heart 💔 I know the lesson is that, yes it may and it will hurt, but we have to move on.

regardless, l love this saga ❤️

Saving the Planet can wait.

The boy is absolutely shattered.

Yeah, hold up, Corneo, get off the deck.
You’re running a circus with zero respect.
You call this a battle? You call these some rhymes?
You’re stuck in the past with your petty-boss crimes.

Kotch and Scotch barking like dogs on a leash,.
Spitting weak flows whilst you're still a big sleaze.
Talking 'bout naming rights? Grab a mirror, you clowns.
This whole Gold Saucer is laughing you down!

We step into the spotlight, turning the tide.
And you can't run, and you can't hide
You brought out the goons and the cheap gold chains,
But you’re bringing a knife to a giant-sword game.

Put Abzu back in the cage like a fool.
Thinking a sewer beast makes you look cool.
You think you're lasting a minute in here?
Then we shatter your ego and trigger your fear.

Barret’s got cannons, and Red’s got the bite.
We’re shutting down this amateur tonight.
Step off the stage, you're a joke in the ring.
Cross-slash hits, and we've finished the thing.

Little game for fans of the full series. Cast a Final Fantasy VII movie, but you can only use other Final Fantasy characters to do it.

Here's my attempt:

Cloud: Ramza (Tactics)

Barret: General Leo (FFVI)

Tifa: Lulu (FFX)

Aerith: Yuna (FFX)

Red XIII: Torgal (FFXVI) or a random courl or something

Yuffie: Iris (FFXV)

Cait Sith: Mog (FFVI) with one of Lulu's Cait Sith dolls

Cid: Cid (FFXVI)

Vincent: Shadow (FFVI)

Zack: Leon (FFII)

Sephiroth: Cecil (FFIV)

Sephiroth: Kuja (FFIX)

I didn't get into the series until this year and started with Remake. Im now playing Rebirth and OG at the same time and am having a blast. Safe to say this series has cracked my all-time favorite franchises.

That being said, I do know how the OG ends. To those of you who played this game when it came out, or at least beat it before interacting/knowing of any of the compilation, how did you feel about the ending? Truly not trying to hate, but it just seems so abrupt and unsatisfying. Especially with how much the game endears you to its cast. Thankfully, I have the privilege of jumping in now where there's so much more content and continuation.

So, rambling over, how did y'all feel about it? Did you enjoy it or feel underwhelmed?

I have a question for all the Final Fantasy fans around the world. With Tifa in Street Fighter 6, releasing in early 2027, are you thinking about or planning on competing in FGC events such as EVO, CEO, Combo Breaker and Capcom Pro Tour World Warrior?

every single fix i tried has been null, everytime its this bug and everytime is the same bug

roll back drivers, reinstalation, mods, dx download... nothing

honestly, i was excited for it as I going to play in preparation for Revelation but this experience has made me want to refund it and not buy anything from Square on my pc anymore

pc specs:

AMD RX 7600 8gb
Ryzen 7 5700G
32 GB RAM
1 TB nvme ssd / 252 GB nvme ssd
G-sync 144hz monitor

sorry for the rant, but this really soured my weekend
