Imo, the 'liberation' concept in the metatext was liberation from the expectations to be exactly 100% one-to-one perfectly the same as the original, which is a promise I think FF7R2 absolutely delivered on, the way I see it anyway. The same story but told in a new way in a new context with hindsight

I can respect that pov but the reason I don't see it is because i never really could see the idea of an entirely new story as still being 'FF7', and interrogating what 'being FF7' means is what I got out of the struggle with the whispers.

We were poor growing up so we had to buy abridged manga. I only got to read The Gist of The North Star

Its so ironic to me then, that a new set of expectations arose that this remake, marketed as a remake, repeatedly stated as a remake, then did not divert into an entirely new original story Pt 2 continues the metatext of FF7 wrestling with 'the concept of FF7' and I found it extremely compelling.

I think with the benefit of hindsight it is abundantly clear that the FF7R part 1's ending was a product of the same people who made FF7 in 1997 ruminating on what it means to revisit one of the most beloved games of all time, and working through the anxiety of being beholden to fan expectations.

oh thaaaats why I can't get up for like twenty minutes.

the thing about having actual principles is that when a politician I respect does some stupid shit I can just be like, “that sucks, knock it off” instead of inventing an imaginary world where I’m forced to defend stupid shit for procedural 4d chess reasons

bro do not pretend to be an anticapitalist supporter of AI, lol, there is no place for that shit.

developer in an interview: people keep writing articles about what i hypothetically say, and that i've announced something, when i'm not... here's some various thoughts on all of that the entire internet: they JUST announced exactly everything that was hypothetically talked about!!!

The genuine PANIC people are expressing to something he said offhandedly in an interview about a hypothetical game that isn't being developed. Like. Wow.

Naoki Yoshida is the producer of Final Fantasy XIV

Marxism is on the rise

It's honestly comical in hindsight how hard all the promos from that era tried to pretend like Pokemon, digimon, yugioh etc were just your average all-american saturday morning cartoons.

genuinely what does this mean

It is not. Gameplay looks excellent though 🤩

Really this same theme happens in OoT too! He whips out the triforce of power as a last resort and it physically, spiritually disfigures him into a shrieking monster On top of that the triforces of courage and wisdom textually reject him for his imbalanced heart, leading to his defeat.

Everyone quick send me a thousand dollars it's important

oh god oh fuck
