I love it to. Like red and the way he rides Chocobos. They just embraced the silliness, and I'm so glad they did. Every scene with Red has put a smile on my face. Even small interactions. *MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW, END GAME* Like earlier in this video look at his reaction to children wanting to pet him etc. He's super stand offish. Compare that to his reaction at 2:14:03 (serious props to the animators and the quality of the char models etc etc). Indulging them, gently raising his paw when the one kid goes to grab it. Or a little later (watched the twitch VOD) Barrett asks who wants to have fun at the Gold Saucer and Red reluctantly raises his paw and says "me", then Yuffie actually pets him and calls him a good boy, and he reflexively smiles and enjoys it. My point is Red is to god damn cute. And I can't wait for Cosmo Canyon. Adding this later obv. but, I also wanted to add that Red is just such an easy to like char as well. Not just "cute". He's always supportive, concerned about his friends, like when Aerith notices her Holy Materia is empty and he suggests hanging out with Tiffa to "brighten her spirits" or of course at the very end him comforting Tiffa. They all hurt, but Red's "trial" scene just makes me look forward to the death of Hojo even more. Seeing a "cute animal" being tortured is obviously an easy way to tug at the heart strings, but again knowing just how good of a person Red is and seeing him tortured like that (and knowing that was just the first thing Hojo did to him) makes it hurt more than just "cute animal being hurt". At least to me. Makes me look forward to Hojo's death even more (on top of everything he did to Aerith and her mother etc etc no matter how he dies it will be too good for him). He has a line at Corel prison that stuck with me, when all the other party members are locked up he says something along the lines of "out of one cage and into another but at least this time I'm not alone".

The way I did it was just by hitting the button when the frames of each diamond touch each other.

Once I realized the window was far more forgiving early wise I just moved my timing earlier. Then I was golden.

It’s a really good thematic choice, but it makes a lot of the gameplay feel kind of weird. We slaughter these guys with reckless abandon. I get that if they attack us it’s fine to fight back, but most of the time they’re just guarding a facility. They may have humanized them too much. The Dyne chapter especially. Where we’re trying to prove Barrett didn’t kill those ppl, but we slaughter the troopers looking for Dyne because he’s our buddy’s old friend? It’s a great scene, but idk. I have a storytelling pet peeve of when the heroes wipes out henchmen but spares the boss. Still, incredibly great Stuff with the seventh infantry in Junon.

The more I've thought about the visuals. I'm glad Square didn't bother trying to shoehorn in thigs like RT features etc. Just traditional rendering techniques. Probably helps quite a bit being able to use all of the power for traditional rendering techniques/tricks (like SSR instead of RT reflections). Probably how we can get such large open areas. Plus the time of day being "baked" (other than when you leave a "zone" and come back later sometimes I think). Point being it's not real time, so they can bake things like global illumination etc. Also to anyone that reads this (not saying you), this is NOT UE 5. It's a customized version of the version of UE 4 Remake ran on.

Fun fact... the Shinra choir and brass band music in the background was performed by high school students who placed first in their respective national contests in Japan. And the baldies bar song is performed by the localization team. My uncle who works at Square Enix told me so, trust me (not really but it's from a close enough source)

@@dawsonslone Long bet would be another 4 years, but there's hope that 3 years or very small chance at 2 years because so much of the world was already made in Rebirth and I don't think there's a whole lot to really need to tweak for combat. So in theory it'll be easier for them to complete Reunion than it was to do Rebirth, but if it's still 4 whole years I'll deal with it because this development team has earned my respect and I'll wait as long as I need to for them to finish this well.
