okay, i loved this game, loved it to bits. i was suspecting i would but it was nice to have that confirmation. i am officially in love with the like. entire cast of this game jkhdfgkdfkjgfh
I really loved the wall market section, even if it was the greasiest feeling chapter of the game. WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE SEX TRAFFICKING??? like why can't i beat the fuck out of the don and honestly the entire big 3. I loved the dance/rhythm section of the game even if i was so bad at it aerith said "well at least you tried." sorry cloud, no special earrings for you, king v_v. i hate that it's meant to be funny that cloud is in a dress, considering the context of WHY he's in a dress to begin with. like his friend was sex trafficked. and we're surrounded by rapists apparently. can we not do the "haha the boy is in a dress" bit?
the plate falling was devastating. i was so upset about jessie, biggs, and wedge. if jessie is actually really dead i'm gonna be so furious. i also can't believe we just left wedge behind in the shinra building??? WTF! i love him so much... please be okay wedge. v_v
the reno and rude fights were so fun, even if i was stressed as hell... i have a really hard time countering reno for some reason. watching them start to question their orders was fun though, even if they did follow through with them anyway.
every time i'd seen final fantasty 7 before i played it i was like, okay what the fuck is up with cait sith and red xiii because they just do not fit the vibe, especially cait? like red i kinda get now and he sort of makes sense and i really like him so i'm leaving it be. but i'm still wondering what the fuck is going on with cait. my gf says hes important to the story but i'm curious af how.
i was so happy when sephiroth killed Rufus's dad i hate that cunt fklgjdfklgjkfjg.
i really like seeing cloud's slow breakdown. that's phrased horribly but i guess it's true. the slow unraveling is great and watching him lose his mind every time sephiroth is around is sad. he forgets everything around him. watching him just carelessly attack him in hojo's lab, putting everyone at risk was sad and i know the Reveal of why he's having these fits is just going to be so good. (i hope, anyway.)
i still love sephiroth, i always will, even if him torturing and playing with cloud is upsetting to watch. that crazy bitch hooked me in like middle school when i saw advent children and i haven't been free of him since, so unfortunately. i will be rooting for him. also as a femme with mommy issues. i just get it. i need him to kill hojo with extreme prejudice and as tortuously as possible
i had lot of fun with the boss fights in the last few chapters. rufus's fight was lowkey harder than both the whispers boss and the sephiroth boss, but it was fun and i liked the challenge. the motorcycle chase escaping from shinra was pretty fucking awful, though. i think its so funny they give you the option to skip it once you beat the game. they're like, yeah. we know that was awful.
wasn't able to take any screenshots for the last chapter of the game because square enix and sony are the literal devils. so like no photos of rufus and sephiroth in that chapter to speak of, which bummed me the fuck out.
we bought rebirth immediately after and i started it the other day so i gotta get started on my rebirth log. i thought about just continuing it here since it's all still technically the same game but rebirth seems infinitely huger than this one so i think i'm better off starting a new log, sadly. also i have a lot of opinions on the changes they made. lol.
april.15.25: played a lil more the other night and got a bit more side and main quests done ^_^

started off by doing more odd jobs to build my rep in the neighborhood. i really liked the cat rescue mission
after i completed the jobs, tifa brought us back to the apartments and we "talked" about cloud's work with shinra. we made plans to go on a date to relax and i helped tifa pick out her outfit. i chose the sporty option!
we went back to the bar after where barret and marlene greeted us and told tifa she had a meeting with the other avalanche members. barret told cloud he wasn't invited to the meeting... L. before tifa left she asked cloud what kind of drink he wanted and i said hard and bitter to get some affection points with her.
she also made cloud a sweet drink before going down to the meeting, this scene was really cute... i got a lil confused as what i was supposed to do so i kept wandering until i finally found out i had to play some darts LOL. i got on the leader board!! took me 12 darts so i'm nowhere near first place but i was excited LOL.
after the meeting the group all celebrated and barret told me i was NOT invited to join so i went home after jessie asked me if i could help her wit something.
i met up with jessie later and offered to help her steal some explosives... fun!
this mission was really fun, i loved the bike battling AND omfg... roche... crazy sexy freak..
we steal jessie's dad's ID which... i just think that's weird af for her to do kjdkljfg... like would it not show that it was his card that scanned? just seems risky to use a family member's card.
roche comes back to fight and after an embarrassingly easy boss fight he save us from taking an insane amount of sweepers and... i want him.
we parachute down to the slums and i walk wedge home. he's so cute....
i check in with jessie to get the last part of my payment and promise to come back to her apartment later kjdghdfkgjhfkdg just bc i wanna see what happens. i love jessie's flirting.
tifa wakes me up the next day because a swarm of those invisible Thangs show up and we fight our way to the bar. jessie is injured and guess whose suddenly got a ticket to the mako reactor 5 mission.... meeeeeee :3c
march.27.25: started this on whim last night and wow!! i'm really loving it. i really like the whole cast so far and i'm excited to play some more.

i'm really liking the flow/gameplay of it better than crisis core so far, which i'm a litle bummed about LOL. crisis core feels a lot more grindy and i've been doing side missions in a desperate attempt to level up so i can progress the story.
the game is really gorg, which i knew it would be because. it's a final fantasy game. that being said, there are some texture issues that drive me a little nuts but otherwise, it's fine.
the first chapter is fun, running around bashing up shinra security while barret, jessie, wedge, and biggs are running around was fun. i really like cloud. like a whole lot. (crowd boos) he reminds me a lot of leon, especially 4r leon. like he's got a... je ne sais quoi that just hits the right spot. that being said. i think, also like leon, people act stupid about him for no reason. doing too much for this dude. like relax... he ain't worth allll that
dutch played the original ff7 so it's also been fun hearing about the differences from the original. we have a copy of it on ps1 that i might have a go at after i beat the remake.
my favorite part so far has been trying to escape the upper city and get back to the slums.
i REALLY like the sephiroth scenes so far. following him through the burning buildings and watching the environment phase between nibelheim and upper city was cool.
also, can i say this literally the horniest game i've ever played and it's not even trying to be horny. i think anyway LOL.
like wtf do you mEANNNN YOUD BE LOATHE TO LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT CLOUD AND HIS HATE?????? you want him so bad it makes you look stupid.
i fell in love with aerith already in crisis core so like i totally get it zack... i get how it was love at first sight. but it's funny just having that feeling recemented in 7. like yes. she's that perfect.
zack was right she is an angel...
i met up with the gang on the train again. i love barret. he's so sexy AND i love how he fights for the planet with his whole being. he wants better for his adorable daughter and i love that.
speaking of fighting for the planet. i do not understand how people think this game ISN'T "political" they beat you over the head with how this evil mega corp is literally sucking the literal LIFE out of the planet. like it's crazy because caring about the environment is a political issue atp, especially given how the government LOVES to deny that the earth is fucked. kinda like shinra with mako. hmmmm...
i love that barret puts up a hard wall around cloud but still worries about him. i love a badass gentle giant. he is so cute with marlene.
i fell in love with tifa pretty quick so i'm Captail F Fucked when it comes time to decide who i want to "romance". i'll probably go with tifa because while it's easy to fall in love with aerith i think cloud loves her "romantically" because zack did. they're all cute together but i actually just want tifa and aerith to get together so. whatever.
i finished off my night doing some side quests with tifa and her semi-shady water filter business. like why are you charging these people for drinkable water dkgjfldkjgdfg... like i know you need money too but ur even charging the land lady that's offering your friend an apt with zero rent??? like please.
