fuck neo nazis, also never read youtube comments (because they are full of neo nazis)
I do like Undertale's PS4 trophies:
okay there's technically more, imo it would've been best if that was it for all of the game's trophies: Plat on getting 4 items, but I still like these

Final Fantasy 7
Oh my God you're absolutely right. I still think FF7 is an aged pile of garbage.

So, I just watched this, and there are people in the comments blaming the victim for her murder.
It's easy to say when they weren't there. People just want to one-up each other in their own comfort and the superiority it affords them.
Nothing to do with how many Sephiroth kills. Aerith was our character. She was a personal commitment to the player, making the killing personal. In Marvel's Avengers, we are supposed to give a shit that the heroes are saving the city from huge aliens that are destroying buildings, theoretically killing thousands. But it doesn't feel impactful.
In Logan when a key character dies, we care because we know their face. We care because it is personal.

sephiroth's goal isn't to destroy the whole planet or bring the weapons out. he's just trying to absorb the power of the lifestream, and you make a lot of lifestream gather in one place by dealing a big 'wound' to the planet. thats what meteor was going to do. shinra is actually in opposition to his plans since they use the lifestream to actually power their city. the more it they use, the less there is for him. thats probably also why the meteor is set to target midgar and doesnt just appear over a field.
you're remembering the rocket sequence all wrong too.

cid brings up the escape pod almost immediately. the only obstacle is, if they want the huge materia, they have to decipher the shinra locking mechanism quickly since, you know, they're on a rocket headed for meteor. then after they get it there's an accident that pins cid under some rubble. there's never anything about not having a way out, or cid sacrificing himself, or not having a big enough escape pod.
it feels like you don't really remember most of this game. like earlier you said aeris was some kind of pure nun type but that's the opposite of her character. she makes fun of cloud to his face and makes raunchy jokes.
which, is fair enough if you haven't played it in a while. the muddled translation doesn't lend well to memory retention. but video game forum post essays should be accurate, and about why they felt it necessary to include a character like cait sith

Why am I not surprised honestly
I don't know if it's changed since I last heard about the guy, but the fact that he was only being charged with manslaughter for driving a car into a crowd of people (while being a nazi) is some serious bullshit. "Don't know the motive" my ass.
I'm glad that resistance to white supremacy and neo-nazism is building though. Related:

I love the way that statue bends.
I just played the game like super recently (I went back and got the Great Gospel achievement January 31st, 2016) and clearly nothing retained. That's how you can tell a story/game is engaging.

The PC version had a revised translation, but I don't recall it making any of the more vague aspects of the story, like Sephiroth's movites, any more clear. FF7 wasn't very good about communication in general and it felt like stuff just... happened, sometimes.

That was a weak ass statue!
Weak like the white supremacist shitbag it was commemorating~
sephiroth has very little dialogue. the weapons do not actually help him in any way, at least not directly. and they're trying to kill him but are too stupid to figure out where he is. them coming out was just an inevitable side effect of meteor being summoned because they're essentially like, the planet's last-resort emergency immune system, but they can't sense him in his northern crater hidey hole because of the giant energy barrier thats there until the final act. they have the helpful side-effect of distracting the people trying to stop him but it really makes no difference to him whether they're there or not.
I didn't play the PC version but I doubt there was so drastic a change. that would be more than a retranslation and just inserting weird stuff for no reason. if you played some weird mod then maybe.

Yeah, the Weapons awakened in retaliation to Sephiroth, not to help him. There was a line of dialogue where Sephiroth was supposed to, some kind of way (and he's not even the one that said it. It was Hojo), trick the Weapons into helping him, but that never manifested.

Man, it's hard to remember who said/did what when half the cast is misremembering due to shit/wasn't there from the get-go.
Cloud's not Cloud, Sephiroth is asleep (meaning every appearance of Sephiroth until the very end when he wakes up is just Jenova*), Tifa got impaled with the Masamune and survived/was reborn (because I don't remember). The whole thing pisses me off just thinking about it. Couldn't they make it easier to understand?
*Why does Jenova want Aeris dead? Because she's a Cetra? Does it even matter?
Which part? The combat? Surely not breeding Chocobos for the Knights of the Round. I got up to level 99 on every party member, unlocked all Limit breaks, got over 100,000,000 gil through mastering and selling All materias (5-7 at a time) and earned all the "best" Materia/weapons, and what do I have to show for it? 111 hours on Steam and no positive memories.
This game is a tall stack of questions with a blocky sword rested against it.

Yeah, I don't know about the WEAPONS but Sephiroth's goa was to absorb lifeforce. He was killed and entered the Lifestream as a parasite, basically, and was able to do this absorption bullshit. And his end game was to become a god. Above the mortals whom he was not one of. Blah blah blah. FF7 was fun, but the plot is just a major herpderp adventure. Can't take it too seriously.
the plot is pretty cool in my opinion but the translation isn't. even with the revised translation, it's just hard to shove a plot of that scope into a bunch of text boxes in a jrpg. i think they did pretty well considering, but, with all the foreshadowing, a lot of stuff your brain will just gloss over the first time around because it won't instantly make sense to you. it's kind of like evangelion where you have to rewatch it with the understanding of what's going on behind the scenes to truly take in what is happening during each scene. except evangelion still doesn't make sense when you do that.
ummmmm is THIS a joke..

No, Cloud's Cloud. He just thinks he's Zack and it's really not his fault.
"Tifa got impaled with the Masamune and survived/was reborn (because I don't remember).
Slashed, and survived, not reborn. Cloud's the one that got impaled. In the shoulder. And he picked up the guy that was impaling him, by the thing he was being fucking impaled with. Badass scene.
The whole thing pisses me off just thinking about it. Couldn't they make it easier to understand?
The point is that you are dealing with an unreliable narrator. You don't know what's real because Cloud doesn't know what's real. Of course, Tifa could be the narrator depending on how you look at the story, and she's just an ordinary woman. If extraordinary people don't understand what's going on, then she's sure as hell not.
*Why does Jenova want Aeris dead? Because she's a Cetra? Does it even matter?
Jenova doesn't particularly care. She just doesn't want them stopping Sephiroth. Notice that everything that Jenova does to the antagonists, without exception, is purely a reaction to what they are doing. She doesn't particularly want anything from Aerith. She's just reacting to Aerith. We could perceive that Sephiroth and Jenova want something from Cloud, but again, this is the unreliable narrator. All they really need that Cloud can provide is the Black Materia. It doesn't really seem like they specifically need Cloud to get it, either. It's because of Cloud's obsession with Sephiroth that it seems like Sephiroth has an interest in Cloud, but if you really look at every scene they're together in, Sephiroth's observations and actions are a reaction to Cloud. He doesn't seem to particularly need anything from him.

My favorite followup response to this is "How Millennials are killing participation trophies". Spitting on and kicking the monuments of the CSA should become an honored American pastime.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I'm unequivocally against the destruction of art. This is how we got all the penises chiseled off of Michaelangelo's statues. Some douchenut thought the subject matter of the art was "offensive" so their solution was to destroy priceless artifacts.
Offense can never be given, only taken. And even if that weren't true, the statues are incapable of having a motive and they deserve none of this horeshit. And even if that weren't true, whatever motives you fuckwits have are less important than the preservation of art. Go find the artist and yell at him if he's still alive, but don't ever destroy the art.

lol @ equating penises to CSA statues. I am fine with destroying symbols of slavery and white supremacy. However I am not opposed to taking them all and shipping it to Yucca Mountain, even if it might hurt the general standard of culture down there.
Yeah, I'm kinda with LockeZ on this. Should the statue have been removed? Definitely. Should it have been destroyed? No. Shove it in an art or historical museum, so that our future peeps know about this shit. I hope they put the broken pieces in a museum with some kind of explanation of why it was destroyed and such.
Then again, looking back in history, the destruction of oppressive symbols have always stood out strong and been remembered. Berlin wall, for a great example. The building and destruction there-of is a big memory of an oppressive regime that came and went and the destruction of said wall became a symbol of the human spirits who could not be divided. I doubt this will have the same lasting remembrance, but it's still showing the emotion of the moment.
Anyway, about FF7. I had no trouble as a teen figuring out the story. Cloud was always Cloud, he just had memories of Zack. It became clear the more you got to know Zack that there was something off about Cloud's actions and reactions. It helped that Tifa and Aeris both pointed out things. Tifa pointing out that Cloud wasn't acting like the Cloud she knew and Aeris comparing Cloud to someone she knew before and how alike they were. When we get the reveal, finally, it makes sense, especially with some of the discrepencies between Cloud the Soldier (in the 'wrong' memory flashbacks) and Cloud the Avalanche member, like the whole motion sickness thing.
I mean, there were a lot of discrepencies in Cloud's memories from the get-go and always a feeling of something not quite being right. The characterisation of Cloud and Zack were quite different, too. Cloud is a more upbeat guy, and at the start before he comes out of his shell and starts getting his real character back, he's edgy and 'badass'. Eventually we see the real Cloud come out and play a bit, until the reveal and who'd a thunk it? Cloud is a nerd. Still a little edgy, still a bit badass but a nerdy one. XD
As for the story, I liked it. I understood it. I had fun playing the game and I cite it as one of the better FF games out there and will continue to do so. I mean, enjoyment is definitely a personal thing when it comes to games, but frankly, there's a reason it sold so well, and it wasn't because there weren't many RPGs out there to play (there were a lot). It's just a fun game.
