Just came here to say, it means a lot to me that Nomura has finally created a black (or at least a dark skinned) KH original character. Also, KINGDOM HEARTS IV! I got so used to getting side games instead of numbered titles that I didn’t expect this to actually happen. I love the idea of having the realistic quadratum as the fictional world and the cartoony disney worlds as the real world. People are already speculating that Star Wars will be in the game. So…Marvel and Thanos anyone? 😅

If that is true, that's an automatic sub from me. Ciao Netflix.

Ah makes sense. I was wondering why no one was quoting each other anymore ?. Guess it's more akin to a chat than it was before lol

What's linked?

Answered the poll! Also. people are saying that Square is already working on XVI and Yoshida is directing it. Nothing but speculation, but still. It is possible that there's a team that's already working on it, it wouldn't be the first time that 2 main entries are being made at the same time. If not, the team over at Luminous Studios is also working on a new IP. Now that they've finished their engine and know how to utilize it fully, we might actually get to see the full potential of the Luminous Engine. So that's something to be excited about ? As long as they manage their teams and ressources properly, VII Remake shouldn't get in the way of XVI being made (unless they consciously decide not to make it before the Remake is complete).

Oh, I thought it was entirely dependent on who you wake up first in the sewers. ?I felt like the game was really pushing Tifa and Cloud as a pairing so I kinda just went along with it. How'd you guys feel about the ending?

Wait, there was a Barret one?

I got Tifa. It was such a good scene. She's the highlight of my playthrough for real, such a good character. Who did you get?

Finished the game yesterday. I never played the original, but I know some of the big events that happen in the original game, like Cloud's psyche being a mess because of Zack and Aerith dying and Sephiroth being an experiment and the attack on Nibelheim and...well you get it. Gameplay was AMAZING. Feels like a true evolution of the latest FF games. It took some elements from XIII, maybe a little inspo from XV and some elements from OG FF7 and blended and balanced everything perfectly. Story was pretty good. As a "partial" newcomer who doesn't really have the nostalgia factor to contribute to my enjoyment, I did feel like the pacing was a little slow at times, but the characters and the intrigue made up for it. And the ending, wow. I did not expect that. Very meta in a way... I liked it though. I don't think they're going to deviate heavily from the original game in future installments but I think they've created a good intrigue to keep players invested. Smart move. I'm actually more excited to see what's next on that front than on the KH front, which is weird cause I've always been a bigger KH fan than FF fan.

Does w/ Orchestral version mean I can finally listen to the AMAZING live arrangement of the Final Boss theme instead of the synthetic version we got in the game ? or is it just the concert video? EDIT: I like that we know absolutely NOTHING about the secret episode. It's like it doesn't even exist right now lol. They definitely changed their marketing strategy in comparison to when they were promoting the main game.

Re:Mind is a separate scenario from the main story (seemingly an epilogue). Main story update probably means that they'll also be adding a few elements (cutscenes perhaps) to the main game as well. Notice that this is under the Free DLC section, so everyone will get access to this update even if they don't buy Re:Mind.

I was thinking it would be something like that. My theory was that as Sora's looking for Kairi, he's going to meet Chirithy and discover that they've been in some kind of time loop and that discovering what happened in a previous cycle of that time loop (being Re:minded of it) is somehow the key to finding Kairi. But honestly, I think your interpretation is spot on and much more likely.

I actually LOVE Aerith's look. Biggs looks great as well. I wish Barrett's hair was curly and actually textured like black people's hair but...he looks good still. Everyone looks good to me tbh.

There are also the Data Org. bosses, so that's like 13 more if you count those.
