The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

I'm super into the changes to the story that make it seem like you're literally altering time somehow. For years I just wanted the same exact story with better graphics. This is as close as it has gotten, and I'm actually loving the differences more, because it actually feels new and not just the same story I know and love told with minor dialogue differences.

I hope to learn a little more about what's going on with that whole weird side of the story

Same here. There's so much unresolved after Remake. How is Zack's new history going to integrate with the present day? What is Sepiroth really trying to do? Why does Aerith have knowledge of the future? I was always psyched for the remake since before it was even officially confirmed, but I never thought I'd be able to enjoy it as a new story. They've exceeded my expectation in that way.

The story is off the rails, and they spent all of Chapter 18 really driving that home. And then the first trailer started with "the future, even if it has been written, can be changed. So focus on the future, not the past."

I still expect the game to follow the original story's main beats, but how they're going to get there is a mystery to me when so many huge new factors are in play.

Yes, this is what I'm most looking forward to. I need to see how they handle THAT scene. I like the fact that they (or at least Aerith) seem to be aware that something is wrong. I'm hoping they go all in on the concept, it's made me so much more excited for the game.

Oh man, I had totally forgotten about THAT when I was commenting, but yeah! That whole thing has to go down differently due to her awareness of everything going on. I half expect that the old rumor of the materia shown dropping in the original game is Holy, to come back and be proven true.

Yeah I think Gold saucer will be pretty awesome. They can really flesh it out. Choco racing. Maybe the weapons. Forget what they were called omega and sapphire maybe. There was a weapon in the sand near there.

Are they doing dirty on the talking dog. He has that cave lair place

I don't think they specifically mentioned Cosmo Canyon yet but I assume it'll be included. I sure hope so. I'm psyched to see it.

They showed a screenshot of Cosmo canyon during the day, so it'll absolutely be in the game. I bet the bonfire scenes will be really good.

Here's the image of Cosmo Canyon

I just can't wait to go back and revisit all the locations and see how they've been modernized. Seeing Kalm bustling with people with the foliage made it seem so cosy.

Can't wait to see what they do with other towns and locations.

I keep thinking about Mideel. It was such a cool looking town ::: before it gets rocked by Weapon ::: I bet that's gonna look incredible.
