Surprised at how much they skipped (spoilers)

[WT_Neptune]

They straight up skipped everything between Temple and Forgotten Capital. And two of your party members aren't even playable. The way those two are excluded from certain things in the plot doesn't even make sense sometimes.

I think that whole end section was by far the most insulting face palm inducing part in the remake

Even with how bad shinra mansion was I really did not expect the tension building masterpiece section from the OG (bone village, forgotten forest, the scene at Gongaga) to just be annihilated for no reason besides ……???

Nothing, nothing was gained by removing those great sections, but yea let’s crank the Dio scenes by a thousand and have Cid wanna bang aeriths mom lol

Cid didn't act or look like someone who had his lifelong dream destroyed. Don't care much for Vincent.

Oh and you lose a party member before the point of no return and don't get them back until after the point of no return 😬

Of course not, because his dream in Rebirth was to be a pilot, and he is.
In OG he was suppose to be the first man in space, quite the difference, huh

Also theres no Shera incident here, and i doubt there will ever be, because in today's game we cant have that kind of Cid, whos been verbally abusing his (female) coworker etc.

Hes totally different person here.

At least until we get part 3 and they will show his darker side, but i highly doubt that.

When you get old, other old people look hot.

Nope. I'm old as ♥♥♥♥ and my peers look old as ♥♥♥♥. People don't age like wine; they age like grapes.

Cid is the only character we lost. Vincent is a "hidden" character, not critical to the story, and also unavailable until the submarine, unless you went crazy with choco breeding IIRC. Also, this game never makes it to Rocket town, or really delves into Cid's backstory, though i imagine they will address him more in the final chapters.

Its beside the point, but you get Vincent right when you enter Shinra mansion, which is well before submarine

Imagine how freaking cool this game would have been if it told the original story, no timelines, no whispers, no filler, one game with some DLC in the style of Skyrim or Witcher3...but the same graphics and updated gameplay

Oh well

Yeah you are right, all you need is the safe combo, i was misremembering and adding in the lucretia stuff behind the waterfall as well. Its been a long time since i played OG.

Cid not living at and being the leader of Rocket Town is completely at odds with his character. He worked on that rocket every day, fighting against the march of time, holding onto his dream, and everyone in town helped.

The only reason he leaves is because he's not going to let go of the Tiny Bronco either.

Yep. They really did Cid is a disservice by cutting all that out. They did a disservice to players too, considering how enjoyable that part was in the OG.
