It's an important part of his character, it's not just hardware limitations. That's why he does another flip into the train car after escaping from the Shinra soldiers in the bridge. It's not unnecessary if the story actually plays into it, which it does. It's part of his entire character arc.
It would be weird to have Seph or Jenova as the final since they should be long gone from the city at that point. Rufus I could see, but I'm thinking it will be the new soldier guy. Or maybe Rufus on the tower, soldier guy before the motorcycle chase, then Rufus and soldier guy tag team on the highway, Rufus being dropped off by a heli and soldier cycling in.
Rufus would be cool. If it's Sephiroth, it would be an enormous disappointment.
Aerith's chin definitely got nerfed there.Neat little GIF showing the difference between E3 2019's version of the intro and this latest one:

I like the latest version a lot more, though I do prefer the lighting in the E3 version more for the latter two shots.
They might, but I think it would be a perfect opener for the second part, especially if they try and fit the whole search for Sephiroth arc into the it.
That would be a shame. The flashback would be the perfect intro sequence for the second part.
I would prefer it to be the ending of Part 1. I think it would be a final revelation and set up part 2. It would leave a bit of a cliffhanger.
From everything we've seen, the Japanese audio just sounds better throughout.
Oh cool, thanks for that! Something to get us excited, huh? Guess it's gonna be Sephiroth based on the trailers and, well, the fact that he's on the box art (well, for the steelbook anyway) and whatnot.
Rufus would be an interesting choice and kinda fitting given that this first installment will only cover Midgar, and by extension, Shinra. I can't imagine it being an exciting fight though. The latter two, those make sense.
Oh man, I'd love it if they did a cold open with the Kalm flashback for the next game. More info on Sephiroth for this first installment makes perfect sense, so I could see that happening.
It would be a huge mistake for them to put it in this remake instead of having it be the opening of the next game.
I hope they merge into Cloud. Or that we have least have a reference of that happening.
There's been some speculation on that. General consensus seems to be that it's not actually the same park, because it looks less run down, and that it's probably an upper plate park using some mass produced playground equipment. It's definitely confusing though.
I know what you mean, the iconic cat-moogle slider being quite the same and then somehow being standard playground equipment would struck me as most confusing.
They're produced by the Kitase Construction Company, whose slogan is "HD towns are hard"
I was aware, I was just pointing out it wasn't the old date on either.
I think it will be around the original release date when we see the demo.
They're in sector 8
Reeve is in charge of urban development, and of course he likes cats. He cares about the people, so the park in the slums is likely a plan by him to develop the slums. The Park is in Sector 6 Slums, so maybe it was also a way to clean up the area after the Sector 6 Plate was destroyed by Zirconiade
rewatching advent children with this perspective i think his characterisation is a lot better than i remember. watching it immediately after finishing vii it all feels a lot more coherent
