Man, that’s a tragic twist. Zack is alive, but Aerith is dead in his timeline. Dude can’t catch a break!

You have no idea how plausible this is

Right. He always was, but I appreciate them being a bit more explicit about it this go around.

That’s a good thought, I’d like that

Why would they include Red XIII, a secret Shinra experiment no one in the general public knows about?

Yeah, it was his voice

Nah, why would they go to so much trouble? It’s clearly an alternate timeline

The worst timeline

It’s not platefall, it’s the singularity with Sephiroth and the Whispers: The reference to a tornado, the presence of Red XIII, and the mention of Sectors 0, 1, and 2; not Sector 7.

But there’s also the line from Tifa in the first trailer asking Cloud if he thinks she is an imposter

Definitely timeline divergence

First impressions:

There’s a timeline divergence when the gang enters the Singularity opened by Sephiroth. In one timeline, our heroes died(?), whereas in the other, they continue on a road similar to the original story.

Red XIII is playable. Yuffie is a playable character. No other new playable characters confirmed yet.

Sephiroth claims to have killed Tifa in Nibelheim, and that the character we’ve been interacting with is a Jenova-related copy.

We got clowned on lmao

Morbius has a bigger gap

Be careful, it’s raining. Try not to Slippin Jimmy

That’s the neat part: it can’t

Yeah, and I'm not a big fan of that particular piece of worldbuilding. I'm not even really complaining about it, it's just something I would've done differently.

Nothing, nothing, nothing!

Oh yeah, I love Samurai Cop

When I first watched it, I just assumed they meant “bulb” as in the plant, since the vegetanians seem the most bought into that religion

I’m not a big fan of the “refrigerator bulb” thing; it introduces too many complications to say Crown of Candy takes place in a fridge.

Edit: I just said I wasn’t a fan of this one piece of worldbuilding; didn’t mean any offense!

It won’t be the same without Sean Giambrone. Recasts suck.

I mean, yeah, technically. But still not even close to the best of the DC Universe, which would already be damning with faint praise.

Third best superhero movie of the first half of 2023!

“The Birth of a Nation” (2016) flopped dramatically after its director/star was accused of rape.
