Zangan Tifa's Martal arts instructor reminds me of Sean Connery

[@chrissquarefan86]

The world map was fleshed out pretty well, perhaps it didn't need Chadley to show us all points of discovery, it kinda took away from the world's mystery, I would prefer that the next part allows us to find more dungeons and places organically by way of exploration, using an option to turn assisted discovery on/off could elevate the gaming experience for those of us who want a classic FF feel.

[@renaudtheunissen8935]

I really do hope they let us explore the lost capital in the third installment. It’s one of my favorite location in FF7 universe. I wonder if we could see Modeoheim in the north. I have to say I was a bit disappointed for not seeing bones village or having the possibility to look at every corner of the lost capital in rebirth. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@flyaroundyourfire]

Maybe Bone Village will be in part 3

[@ErenDenizMert]

Bone village, rocket town, wutai etc all in part 3 and hopefully fleshed out

[@elwingy]

Someone interview this man to tell us the story of how he ended up turning into a sadist that creates the kind of endgame content that is included in Rebirth...

[@WithGas]

I missed Kefka's laugh at the hotel, was hoping to see the pumpkin again. Why did they take that out? :/

[@blackraven3436]

I'm glad that the current Nibelheim citizens sympathized Cloti predicament and knew about the incident. Wish we know if there's any more survivors

[@milemile4813]

Whats the Cloti predicament?

[@blackraven3436]

@@milemile4813 in the OG, Shinra ordered to find any survivors to cover the incident and experiment on them which lead most of them becoming Sephiroth clones. The citizens pretended the town was normal. The rebirth version showed the citizens understand Cloti coming back to their hometown and visibly uncomfortable of their village being brought back. They didn't pretend the incident didn't happened and allowed them to stay for the meantime. It's possible the Shinra ordered them to report if any survivors come to the village. The people seemed to cover their homecoming

​@@blackraven3436 So is Cloti a person or something? Did i miss something?

Will you play the rising tide dlc that comes out next week?

[@ACarey89]

Is that Zell from ff8 in the poster?

[@blocksheep4899]

I saw this during my playthrough and i would assume it is. It even has his jacket silhouette plus the hair obviously.

[@blackraven3436]

Zangan needs to show in the present for Tifa and Cloud. Lucrecia Cave hopefully could be in the next part.

[@LowestForm0fwit]

Bone Village will probably be scrapped. It was a very insignificant location with a near pointless minigame that got you the Lunar Harp to get through the Sleeping Forest and onto the Forgotten Capital. As we are already past this event, I don't see Bone Village being added unless they signficantly change its role.

[@FreeFlow__]

I was disappointed how they handled the reconstruction of nibelheim and how the party doubting if cloud told the truth or not was gone from the og.

[@RobMost]

I feel they really did a bad job on Nibelheim, the original was scary and confusing, the new one was overexplained and very obvious. It was the only part of the game that disappointed me a bit.

[@ErenDenizMert]

Overexplained?

[@RobMost]

@@ErenDenizMert In the original game, what happened there was a mystery, we didn't understand why the town was back, now it's super straightforward, so they ruined the mystery.
