Opinions expressed are my own and not those of my employer or union. My contract requires the presence of that clause in my profile, which feels like a joke but is very real.


Thinking about the foreshadowing in FF7 Remake that's there for the people who played the original, even in stuff that seems kind of inconsequential, makes me wonder how and if the story is going to deviate further. Spoilers for the original FF7 after the read more.


So like it's pretty obvious that some things are being kept the same, like Cloud never actually having been in SOLDIER, which is foreshadowed A LOT in both the original and in the remake. Hell, even Barret's line, "for all I know a SOLDIER's age could be the same as his rank. Guess that'd make you a one-year-old," kind of points to the fact that this version of Cloud is basically a newborn and that his past is almost a total fabrication.

But it's EVEN MORE obvious in A LOT of ways that things aren't exactly the same. Like, Aerith seems to know that she's going to die, and more significantly, Sephiroth knows about the nature of the whispers, alternate universes, and most of all who Cloud even is. Like in the original, Cloud goes up to Sephiroth and says, "remember me?" and Sephiroth is just like "?????? Literally who are you?"

Anyway all that makes me wonder how stuff is going to change. I think entry number 2 is gonna be the one that deviates the most from the original, and I'm excited to see how.
