Reeve "The Promised Land Doesn't Exist" Tuesti literally put Cait Sith in sleep mode rather than deal with the home of planetology, Cosmo Canyon.
When someone dragged Cait Sith over to their sacred bonfire, he called them a bunch of fatalist idiots before he realized he was breaking character and went back to saying cute, meaningless things.
It's always been a headcanon of mine that Reeve is whatever their planet's version of an atheist is, but to see it... 🤭😆
I love how this game didn’t attempt to “update” the ridiculous characters. The start of remake has everyone and the city looking so beautiful, serious, realistic… and we slowly get introduced to weirder and weirder things until seeing this guy floating around on a giant materia (or whatever it’s supposed to be) isn’t even mentioned as odd by any of the characters. They could have tried to make the game more serious and modern… they did not. They’re unashamed of the weirdness and I love it.
[Image Description: Digital artwork of Barret, Biggs, Wedge, Jessie, and Tifa at the entrance to Cosmo Canyon. Wedge, Barret, and Jessie are seen from behind as they approach the gate. Wedge has an arm around Barret's waist, while Barret's arm is slung across his shoulders and he is leaning in to kiss him on the top of the head. Jessie has her arms wrapped around Barret's gun-arm as she leans into his shoulder. Biggs is standing a little farther back, beckoning them with a smile. Tifa stands beyond him, waiting beneath the gate with a smile. The piece is warm with sunset reds and yellows. /end ID]
I have been waiting DECADES to see how Bugenhagen’s legs works. DECADES!!!! Is he sitting on a green ball? Was he wearing green pants and had blobby polygon animation? Did he lose his legs in a war and that’s why he had a green floaty thing? WTF is the green thing?
AND LOOK WHAT THOSE FUCKERS DID WITH THE OH SO CLEVER SCREEN CUTOFF. THEY KNOW. THEY KNOW WE WANT TO KNOW. THEY KNOW WE WILL LITERALLY BUY THE GAME TO KNOW.
Okay, you said that the FFVII event was a nothingburger, HOWEVER, I think the one vital piece of info we've learned is that Red's name changes to Nanaki in all post-Cosmo Canyon dialogue (and I hope that also goes for subtitles). I've been wanting this since DAY ONE and the Squenix gods heard my prayers.
I always call him Nanaki anyway so this is a good change. I mean, that's his ACTUAL name. We should respect that!
Also Cosmo Canyon makes me cry buckets in the OG. I can't imagine how it will be handled here.
