I still find it crazy how the evil megacorp literally siphoning souls of the dead for electricity causing the planet to literally start dying is the B plot for the game and it's the pretty, long-haired psycho boy with mommy issues that is the true existential threat.
I’m sorry but Vincent did nothing you leave him out of this
One of the most memorable games of all time
I'm enjoying the Remake because they're laying out why it's the B plot and giving Sephiroth more of a build up than just "oops I murdered your favorite character"
I feel like the remake is moving it to a C plot, with the small changes and the big new mystery that has time-travel/multiple universe implications.
Not that I am complaining; I actually like this about it instead of it being the same exact story just told differently.
Rebirth lays the groundwork for Shinra starting a world war to generate more lifestream material (anguish of war victims) and "replenish the planet" so that they can pump out more Mako, it seems to be going pretty hardcore about Shinra being pure casual evil ultra imperialist capitalist, with the side of growing religious takeover with who believes or not in the Promised Land (and I forget what they call the huge materia in Rebirth - magister? Magnus?) as a land of infinite resource to sell as electricity. Scarlet salivating at the Weapons, literal harbingers of the end of the world, for the giant materia they're made of is pretty on point.
Also they made massive efforts on the worldbuilding with all regions each having their History dominated by their local war with Shinra. I'm eager to get Wutai and the revamp from the war in Crisis Core, and possible new mentions of the new Ever Crisis stuff like Rhadore and that recent pre-Wutai place. Shinra has been going from cartoon villains in the OG to openly pure evil of mankind.
The way you don't ever seem to do anything with Zack, it feels like that mystery is the real C plot.
But it's already a very dense game with a ton of little side quests and surprises. I'm having a great time.
Wonder if they'll ever try to do a reinvention like this for six, eight, or nine?
I'd love to see an X-0 where you play as Braska, Auron, & Jecht.
If they did 6, it would end up being a 10 game series in and of itself 😵💫
Stop threatening me with a good time
