> While Nomura loves that scene, Kitase was surprised the original version, as drafted by scenario writer Kazushige Nojima, made it into the final game. "When we first received that scenario from Nojima-san – specifically that Corel Prison scene that Nomura-san mentioned – I initially thought we could cut this out or change it," Kitase says. "I thought certain scenes could be cut, but hearing Nomura-san and Hamaguchi-san's opinions on how they want to keep this, I conceded. But when you see it all come together, the final product and that scene – especially the Dyne scene – I think, 'Wow, this is amazing!' It's crying-worthy. I feel glad it's in there."

What is Kitase on

How and why would you want to cut or change the Dyne stuff

Further proof that Nomura was and is the man.

Still gonna get blamed for everything

He sure is, Ot. He sure is.

yeah it's getting increasingly funny every time they reveal that, when stupid changes were about to happen in 7R trilogy, nomura has been the one to stop that shit and stick to the original

it's almost like they're trying to counter the nomura hate directly tbh LMAO

Tis incredibly validating tbh

Those bitches

I am gonna guess this takes place in the cargo ship

just wait the whispers will throw an iceberg in front of the cargo ship and it will sink like the firetrucking titanic so the party won't arrive too early in costa del sol

out of all quests they could have shown they probably have showed the worst type LMFAO

Ima be real I don't like the majority of the extra stuff it's just needless

I am worried that the only thing they got from witcher 3 sidequests is the weird ass random fetch quests

That will be a majority of them for sure

the majority of them have trash gameplay, what makes them great is choices and consequences

They said all the side quests will have one party member as a partner on them

The Red one they showed months ago was him sniffing for clues, makes sense the aerith one is the flowers one

iirc they said different things happen depending on who you bring? so unless it's only one unique and the rest are the same, more than one character might have their unique stories to side quests

That was in regards to Red before and after his part of the story

I think it's one unique

But hey if they did for all its welcomed

> To make side content more meaningful, Square Enix expanded the affinity system. This under-the-hood mechanic takes your actions towards a character and translates them into how certain scenes – such as the famed gondola date sequence – play out. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's side content is a critical driver for this mechanic, with each sidequest bringing in a secondary protagonist from the party. Completing a sidequest improves Cloud's affinity with the given character
From Gameinformer, it does sound like one unique character

Would think so cause I couldn't see yuffie or barret giving a firetruck about flowers when aerith is right there

Yeah exactly

Maybe you could have options between two characters but I don't see more than that

I hope yuffies social link is doing mischief together with her

The ones that will definitely be different are of course the dates and whatever new interaction they put with the party

I am guessing this is also how you are gonna learn new combo attacks
