      And you can even see they were working on _expansion_ ... there was construction equipment and clusters of lit buildings on those plate extensions outside the wall.

    The transition of Sephiroth's theme overlapping Aerith's theme feels like an ominous storm hanging over the horizon. Gives a sense of how Aerith feels hearing the Planet's desperation and pain.
    We've never really been able to see or understand exactly how Aerith feels the planet communicating with her beyond 'talking', but with this I can feel the warning the planet is giving Aerith. Urgent. Pay attention.
    Tactfully done. So excited for this.

Aerith and Sephiroth are basically there to change events of the original and the Whispers (arbiters of faith) were there to stop the original timeline from changing which is why they kept popping up throughout the remake during important events.

    My dad really enjoyed playing this game before I was born and continued to play several final fantasy games while my siblings and I watched and enjoyed with him.
    He would always call us down whenever he turned on the games because he knew we loved to watch the cutscenes and the characters and the cool magic.
    This game carries real sentimental attachment for me and I can’t wait to experience the story for myself.

    The music really took center stage here. The quiet emptiness of the wasteland, the vague hint of threat from the Sephiroth chants, the echo when some guy walked on a flower, the hopeful swell right before the main theme dropped, just supremely well done and crafted with utmost care. Hollywood should take some notes, this is how you treat a beloved property.

    Rewatching this now in March 2024, I see it in a new light, the hints of One Winged Angel represent how the Sephiroth we know from this game is either from or fully aware of the original timeline and this time he is going to try and stake more of a hold over Cloud and us to achieve his goals. Rather than appearing at the end of Midgar, he is now showing that he is lurking all the time, even in the opening cutscene.

    I can't help but cry my eyes out really hard at this intro. The music building up, the horns blasting out, the fantastic lights and animation, Midgar truly feels alive, breathing, and darkly beautiful. Thank you so much for the amazing work in making this remake a masterpiece in all its possible glory, that I thought we'd never see.
