    0:55 That's the kind of thing that, if it's not explained, needs to be explained.
    8:44 Some bold Shinra grunt: "I'm getting the last word in!"
    13:46 Reminds me of the final boss from one of the Star Wars games. You could 1v1 them fair and square... or you could trick them into dropping a pillar on themself and OHK them. They had to drop it, though, iirc.
    22:01 Nice(?) of the music to conceal the skull cracking.
    25:48 Wait, hold the phone. You're just gonna pull that out of nowhere? These are not the chills I was expecting.
    27:38 I mean, he's not wrong. For once, mission priorities are the thing to focus on. If Shinra gets the black materia, it's game over, and Shinra will sacrifice anything to get it. And any*one*.
    31:18 No kill like overkill.
    42:38 This whole scene is weird for me. Cloud's literally been killing Shinra operatives this whole game, and the previous game. Why is that one guy so significant, because he's the only one to beg? Because Cloud said some weird stuff?
    43:39 What?

    • @Kyuuketsuki02
      @Kyuuketsuki02 7 днів тому +4

      With regards to 42:38... it's because the guy was disarmed and begging for his life. Cloud killed him cold blood, mercilessly. Even in a war, killing an enemy who is disarmed and begging for their life is something different than enemies killed in the normal course of fighting.
      Also, Cloud's whole demeanor was obviously different from normal.

    1:53 It’s worth pointing out here that stacking blue materia like this only works with spells linked materia have unlocked. So here Curaga wouldn’t get cast any faster, but the other three would.
    15:41 As seen here. Healing spells are pretty fast to cast anyway, so Curaga is still quick, but that’s its normal cast speed. Regen a second later was nearly instant, however

    Rebirth and original comparison by Playframe episode numbers:
    Start to end - episode 22
    Well, I say it's all episode 22. As usual, some of this stuff didn't happen this way in the OG, but also after the party gets split, I did notice the BGM changing to be more based on Listen to the Cries of the Planet, which plays in the dungeon after this is the OG, so (without me having looked into this too closely on my own) I'm guessing we're going to get a bit of a merge with all that as well.

    I'm not sure why, maybe just feeling nostalgic, but trying to find all the paths and items is reminding of Xenosaga. Revisiting old areas through the simulator to find stuff you missed - or couldn't get yet. Plus the extremely handwavey explanation for why VR items were "real" when you exited. 😋

    I feel like Aerith's limits can be useful if her limit took less time to charge. All the character's limits take I think too long to charge ( I barely used limits when I played because rarely would the fight long enough for it to pop up) but especially aerith's I think because hers are all utility
