1.) It's funny how ten years ago I thought the graphics on this game were the best ever, but now all I see is a pixelated mess. I never realized how outdated it's become. I thought the PS3 was supposed to upscale this damn thing?
Ps3 upscales to make it look sharper...that's pretty much all you're gonna get. I mean it's a 12yr old game...
2.) This MIDI music or whatever it is, is still the best I've ever heard. Being used to digital 5.1 surround sound nowadays still doesn't steal the strong feelings I get when hearing every single score. At least this part didn't get outdated.
ff7 soundtrack ftw
3.) Is Cloud really gay or is it just me? Ten years ago I probably didn't understand too well why he didn't show any attention to either Tifa or Aeris (I was thirteen), but now all I see is gay gay gay.. these two great girls are literally throwing themselves at him. wtf is wrong with this guy?
Cloud is only as gay as you make him (literally, ala saving Tifa scenario) you have the choice to date whomever you want, Barret/Tifa/Aries/Yuffie, at best we can summise he's Bi.
4.) I still crack up whenever Cid curses in every sentence. I'm trying to count whether Barrett curses more.
Cid Ftw
5.) Knowing what will happen ahead of time isn't stopping me from A.) feeling a sense of dread and excitement when a pivotal story moment is coming (i.e., president shinra dies), and B.) trying to prevent bad things from happening (that *gulp* death scene). Maybe I'm just a sucker for romance stories *faint*.
Bitch deserved it :D seriously, am I the only one who hated her after playing Crisis Core?
6.) I still never sell a single item in the game for the vain hope of collecting every single thing the game has to offer. Me and my brothers were able to do this thing almost to the letter before, with every piece of materia, weapon, armor, etc. for every character maxed out.. pointless, but I can't stop myself from doing it again.
I only ever sell items (a mastered All materia usually does the trick) if I want to buy the villa at Costa Del Sol
7.) Tifa's boobs are still far too big, but I remember them being far more realistic looking because my eyes hadn't been exposed to higher resolution digital boobs. Despite that, I'm still favoring Aeris far more.
Tifa ftw
8.) The plot is SO much clearer for me now. Aside from the Cloud being gay thing, I'm understanding a lot more stuff now than before, which is pretty cool coz it's like I'm playing a new version of the game.
Retrospection ftw
