Knights of the Round Remade: Final Fantasy 7 Theory

[@IdeasbyFrank]

To avoid the expectation of having an absurdly elaborate game-breaking summon, it makes sense for the devs to use KOTR as a one time cinematic plot element. Perhaps the knights take out one of the Weapons or they end the war between Wutai and Shinra. The final game needs at least 7 Holy Shit moments and KOTR loses that by being a spammed GPU buster.

[@Jim_Buck]

Nah, keep it as an end game summon you actually need to defeat Emerald/Ruby Weapon like in the original, it's not about breaking the game but giving us plenty of post game content and something to grind for! personal preference though I guess

[@MrLightlike78]

I think the story is actually setting up for something like this. Glenn basically sets up resistance movements to take the fight to Midgar. If Midgar and most importantly, the reactors are destroyed the Junon cannon won't be able to power up and thusly cannot destroy the barrier around the northern crater. If we don't get past the barrier Sephiroth wins. So, what do we do? We gather the 12-13 himbos and we break that ****

[@TheEggplantKnight]

It is funny because a lot of the old guides for original will just say "use KOTR" so I can see this being a thing. Yeah with the way summons currently work have 13 other fully rendered knights running around the battle field would melt playstations and computer all over the world.

[@Jim_Buck]

@@TheEggplantKnight True but I think reducing KOTR to a story cutscene is a bit lame, I'm sure there's a way to incorporate it in battle somehow. Having that summon weaved into the plot seems a bit jarring tbh, it is King Arthur and his knights after all

[@Jim_Buck]

Actually... there could be something to the idea of them been Cetra Knights, now that I'm looking at the original, and the fact that materia is condensed memories etc... hmmm interesting!

[@dominiksledziewski]

I soooo can't wait for their cinematic, because I won't settle for anything less epic.

[@FailroadExpress]

That would be cool.

[@ProudShipperVII]

I love this idea!!

[@champion2106]

This is not a bad theory. It would be great if this happens. Great video!!!

[@CiaraC-hh7rm]

I am excited for p3

[@amanda1646]

🔥 love the theory videos

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

That's very interesting to think about, cause i never thought about knights of the round being tied to the lore of FFVII. I just thought it was an easter egg nod to Arthur and his knights from medieval legend. 😂

[@TheEggplantKnight]

100% was just a medieval fun nod. There is a lot of that in FF7 and Final Fantasy as a whole. Seems like with the Remakes though they want to tie those nods into the world though.

[@LunalovaniaGaming]

@TheEggplantKnight Honestly, the SOLDIER theory is way better than it being a nod to King Arthur lol. I love to theorize and speculate on all things FF, especially FFVII. Even if a theory sounds bat 💩 crazy, it's still neat to think about. 😁 Have a great day hun, and thank you for the content and the reply. 🤝✌️

First of all, you can tell you did your research and took your time making this video. You have great tonality in your voice and thoughtful expression as well. Now I hope you are completely wrong lol. And I’m laughing as I say this. I really want to go around and collect the pieces of the sword in advent children. That should be a key that opens the dungeons to Knights of the round. I go back-and-forth between the dungeon being a tower where you fight your way up to King Arthur, or a dungeon going down in finding King Arthur in a basement someplace. I think Arthur Lancelot and the rest of the original Knights of the round should have a full floor, dedicated to learning about that night, and then having to fight that night before you get to Arthur. It would be awesome to have the 12 nights leading up to Arthur have a weakness and a strength for the different magics and attacks. So one night is a fire night. The next is a night of time. The third could be lightning and so on. I’m also using voice text and I’m realizing night should be night with a K lol. My Siri is not smart enough AnyWho you go through all the nights and then at the end, you fight, Arthur, who’s a master of them all and the sword from Advent children is the key to defeating him somehow. OK my rent is long enough. I think great video. I cannot wait for this game to drop in 2027 lol😅

[@TheEggplantKnight]

Not gonna lie, I like that too. 2027 can't come soon enough. How much is a medically induced coma running for these days?

[@Leescreativeart]

@ 32 monthly payments of 39.99

[@jamesbycinthe]

Maybe that clear materia might come into use for the KOTR.....

[@WideHorizons90]

Although they're supposed to be King Arthur and his knights of the round, within the context of the modern FF7 remake it wouldn't make sense. The most logical would be Cetra Knights.

[@MrLightlike78]

Man, i got my own theories...but eff that. This is cute and i want this now.

[@TravaillesDuChanson]

It's a creative theory and an interesting one, but I prefer the Cetra knight theory for Knights of the Round. I would like to see more spin-offs for the FF7 world which explore Soldier and other characters such as Kunsel, Luxiere, and other PO soldiers. I think First Soldier in EC is really giving us a taste of what that would be like but of course Sephiroth is the center of that story.

[@TheEggplantKnight]

So I do think we will hear of the original Knights in some way but they were the old stewards of the planet we will need new ones and that is sort of where this come in. Yeah seems odd we haven't see much of Kunsel and Luxiere yet I am sure they will get cameos at some point. I think when it comes to spin-offs, wild claim here, I think the Remakes will end with a new FF7 world which they can sandbox with. Tell new stories with similar and familiar characters.

[@TravaillesDuChanson]

@@TheEggplantKnight Actually that last idea I like it A LOT! Think about, they have created 99% of Gaia at this point; and I say 99% because there could be some new secret locations they could create in a DLC. My point is, they have this sandbox of a world as you mentioned and to do nothing with it at this point would be a waste. At the very least, they need to make the main entries of the compilation accessible to everyone. Advent Children is a movie and I'm sure they will be addressing that and part in the final trilogy game, but Before Crisis and Dirge of Cerebus will need a remake just so the players can get the context if the trilogy does in fact turn out to be a sequel. I actually wrote a fanfic about the 3 rando models they made in the mobile First Soldier game, there is so many things they can do with spin-offs which could allow the main characters to make cameo appearances all while not taking the spotlight.

[@Jim_Buck]

It's King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, it's drawn from actual world mythology, like all the other summons

[@Jim_Buck]

Not Cetra knights, they are supposed to be King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table

[@MrKnaives]

Oh, I would go with the Humans Knights that attacked the Temple of the ancient, and they got banished or cursed like the Gi tribe. They may do something like that.

[@TheEggplantKnight]

Yeah that was the intention. They come from Round Island and a toy of the summon is the only reason we know the main knight was called Arthur. Most folks assumed Cetra knights but as I mentioned that is never confirmed.
