Good morning, friends! I’m back once again to talk about my obsession: Final Fantasy VII; namely the Remake. We all know about those quirky scenes of Cloud cross-dressing, the Gold Saucer date with Barret, and various other parts that some fans are absolutely in love with. But, what if I told you that Square Enix may take out some of those scenes? If a certain interview is enough to go by, then we may not see the Honey Bee Inn, or even Wall Market, at all. Naturally, this is where I point the finger at a certain group of Tumblrinas: The Social “Justice” Warriors. About a month and a half ago, I was scrolling through the FFVII tag, finding reblogable pictures and text posts, when I come across an SJW’s blog. They, much to my absolute frustration, say things like: “I hope they take out the Honey Bee Inn entirely!” and “This game is sexist!” That statement makes no fucking sense to me. How is Final Fantasy VII sexist? Is it because Aerith dies? First off, using a character’s death as an excuse wave the sexist card is an asshole thing to do. Secondly, do they even realize that Aerith, in a sense, comes back in Advent Children? I mean for fuck’s sake: She even helps Cloud in the movie! SJW’s in general, if you guys haven’t guessed, piss me off. It’s because of them that the newest Dead or Alive game will never have a US release. But, I digress. On a bit of a happier note, I found something worth thinking about. I saw a post on Tumblr about a prediction for the remake: Will there be perks/incentives to using characters other than Cloud? For those of you who are currently out of the loop, the FFVII Remake will feature the ability to switch characters amongst your current party. You can play as Cloud, or either of the two other characters you chose for your party. So, will there be any perks or incentives? Personally, I hope so. For example: Red XIII is faster than the others because he’s quadropedal, or perhaps Vincent has some sort of auto-dodge perk, or Aerith has some sort of ability that ups the effectiveness of healing items and spells, or that Cloud is a “Glass Cannon” that deals tons of damage. I would love to see what Square’s gonna do with this feature. Anyways, that about wraps it up for today. I’m curious though: What kinds of perks and/or incentives would you like to see in the remake? I’d love to read your thoughts and opinions! Next time, I’ll try not to talk so much about VII. Peace out!

Hey, everyone! Your pal, Riley, is back again with even more nerdy rambles, and Ramen! So, as some of you know, I’m a huge Final Fantasy VII fangirl. I bet you can’t guess what I’m gonna be talking about today. Yes: More FFVII. “What!? Again!?” Yes, again. I’ve been trying my damnedest to stay in the loop in regards to the Remake. However, that’s proving to be difficult at this point in time. Just like with Kingdom Hearts 3, Square Enix has been extremely mum about the Final Fantasy VII Remake. The only news we’ve gotten since PSX and E3, is that the scenario for part one is complete. This bit of news came from an issue of Famitsu that came out shortly before PSX. So, Part One is officially done in the sense of writing. Now, we need to wait until next year for it to be officially released. Again: Square has been awfully quiet about this games development outside of the Famitsu column, PSX, and E3 2015. This, if you couldn’t tell by the title, has me very concerned. You’d think they’d give us something; a metaphorical bone to throw us. However, they haven’t given us any hints or clues as to what the remake will be like in the long run. This could be a sign of two things: Either the game’s gonna suck, or it’s gonna knock our collective socks off. I honestly hope for the second thing. Oh, and just a quick heads-up in regards to KH3: Disney is legally binding them into shutting up. I digress though. If gaming history has shown us anything, it’s that silence isn’t always a good thing. Of course: Square knows that they absolutely shouldn’t fuck this up. That’s enough from me today, guys. I wanna know what you think of Square’s non-legally-bound silence. If you want, you can leave a comment expressing your thoughts and opinions down below. I’ll see you guys later. Peace!
