My initial thoughts on Rebirth.

Disclaimer: I shouldn't have to do this but I know how toxic the fandom has become in some ways, so know this is my opinion only, you don't have to agree or disagree, and I'm not here to say anyone who feels differently is less than. I'm just sharing my own thoughts as I process what I experienced playing through the game the first time.

I'm going to first go over what I loved about this game.

The world building. I was blown away with how large and complex each village/town/city was. Kalm, Corel, Costa Del Sol, Under Junon, Nibelheim...these were tiny little areas in the OG. I was in awe as we entered the spaces, got introduced to so many new characters and side stories, it was wonderful. This approach made me fall in love with Cosmo Canyon especially. This historical and regional intel quests have been amazing, too, in that it gives so much more inside into this universe. I'm still working through the side content to expand on this, but so far, I have been really enjoying the storytelling. Also - chocobo riding is SO FUN.

The characterizations. Just like in Remake, we get personalities for all the characters, main and NPC. Even for the glimpses we get of Cid and Vincent, I love how they are portrayed and make you already drawn into who they are and how they could fit into the story in part 3. This game made me really enjoy Yuffie and Cait Sith especially - characters I mostly ignored in the OG because I didn't like their personalities or gameplay mechanics. The smaller characters, from townsfolk in Nibelheim, other rebels in Junon, the GI tribe, or even the Black Robes...it's all so interesting and complex. I loved it. Getting the chance to see Myrna, Ifalna, Zangan, and even Tifa's father...peak narrative writing right there.

The relationship building among the main cast. I also loved how deep the primary relationships got among the characters. We see bestie scenes with Tifa and Aerith, bonding between Barret and Cloud, Nanaki and Aerith...it's all so real and deep and funny. The banter is hilarious, especially where Yuffie is involved or Cait Sith, but not obnoxious.

The additions to the battle system. I really like the synergy combinations. I thought that was a fun new mechanic and really makes you want to flesh out your parties. I also really like that they make you split off into different party combos throughout the story, which forces you to play with everyone but not so much that it hinders anything. Now as I am in post game, I'm really having fun swapping people in and out, unlike during the OG when I kept it to really only a core party.

The easter eggs to the OG. I loved the Fort Condor minigame/3D brawler nod to the polygon vibes. The hints to different areas of the OG game we haven't seen yet, the music choices, the direct lines. It's so evident that the developers wanted it feeling like we were going into our old stomping grounds, but with some new tweaks and twists, much like Remake. I'm going to enjoy seeing more as I do more of the sidequests.

The balance of the "romance". Of course we all know I am a cloti fan, but i think they did a good job balancing it all out throughout the game/ The first half is very Tifa heavy, the second half is more Aerith heavy, but it shows the complexities of these relationships and that they aren't cut and dry. Now, I will say though that it does seems to be tipped more in Tifa's favor, but I personally find that making more sense overall, but that's me. Independent of my own preferences, I think they did a good job not shoving one over the other in the main story.

I LOVED being able to play as Zack and have him and Cloud fight together, as brief as it was, because it was just so nice to see.

Okay, now onto the things I have concerns/qualms/issues with.

The pacing was rough at times. We would go through stretches of heavy, dense plot, to random long bouts of minigames. It was jarring at points in the story and seemed out of place besides Gold Saucer (Costa Del Sol, the moogle houses, the Queen's Blood game, etc. seemed odd). While I love minigames, it felt bloated. Clearly they needed filler in the game to make up for not doing the whole story plot.

It pulled a FF15 with plugging in characters and plot that required you to know the side stories like homework before playing. While I played Intergrade, I never played Ever Crisis/First Soldier so despite doing my research, I'm still confused over Glenn and that whole side plot. I felt for people who didn't play those games too, or if someone hadn't experienced Yuffie's DLC.

The ending was convoluted and confusing. It's evident that this game knew it was a middle child, so I knew there would be no resolution, but I am so confused by their narrative choices. The fusion of worlds? Aerith may be dead or may not be dead? Zack is still bouncing between realities? While I didn't know if I wanted Aerith killed off or saved, the fact that we don't have a committed decision on it and it's now vague...I don't like that.

The lack of reaction by characters to bizarre behavior. I know I wasn't the only one confused by the fact that Cloud would very obviously act out of character and folks seemed ignorant of it, beyond a few comments. He slaughtered people, spoke unlike himself, and nearly killed Tifa and Aerith, yet no one really bat an eye to it. On top of that, when Sephiroth did appear to more than just Cloud, folks didn't seem to react much at all to it. There were times in the last few chapters of the game that my partner (who watched me play) was very much like what the fuck?! It's one thing to have but muted in the OG because they had limitations...but this was just strange.

The buggy mechanics suck. I wish I could stick to chocobos; I hate navigating the buggy; the controls are just god awful for me. The load in and out time is long, it's hard to make turns or even stop, and I can never tell what terrain i can actually go on or not.

The puzzle mechanics also suck. I hated the sequence as Cait Sith in the ShinRa manor and the Temple of the Ancients. I felt like they were tedious or confusing and also bloated the story out too much.

Ultimately, I loved the game. I like the story choices, the music, the visuals, the exploration....as someone that has loved this story since I was 10 when it came out, I am very happy with it overall and will be replaying it a few times to catch everything I missed.

My partner said it best when he alluded that this has Nomura all over it. I hope the third game answers these questions and gives us a proper and committed resolution, whatever it may look like.

#ooc #DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME.#if you wanna chat with me about it please DM me so no one is spoiled in the notes here. thanks!

Mothers & Fathers Of Advanced Consciousness

***Warning: This post is NOT for children under 30! This post contains raw messages of the truest spirit & divine SOLutions that MUST be implemented. READ ON YOUR OWN ACCOUNT! Avoid Distractions as much as possible!***

Ight…no pussyfooting in this message about how our current socioeconomic system is depleting in viable resources OR what we should do on a individual level pertaining to solving it. Nah! It’s going to take collective effort on constructing our own economy gaining access to tools & resources WITHOUT MONETARY CURRENCIES. How??? The answer is You, I & Us.

The truth is, we’re living in a fuckin mockery - a well-thought out game of spirit cookers keeping collective consciousness from mastering themselves. It was created by heads of planets abroad who manipulated & controlled those wealthy oligarchs in upper echelon places to capture souls of the ancestors and harness energy from their vessels’ blood. (Again…if you’re not ready to take this work then leave this post NOW because your life will be dramatically change regardless if you’re aware of it or not.)

See…most people follow frivolousness and they have no desire on changing. They love living off government. They love having products created for them. They love having educational curriculums encode fraudulent information in our textbooks, social media accounts, and motion pictures. These people are called civil citizens. If you’re a civil citizen, you are being spiritually cooked to obey or perish. Your vessel is expendable. Your life is considered collateral damage. Every single military personnel from low ranking privates to special ranking privateers is considered expendable. Why??? They consented to give their life as Knights to the “royal courts” and combat in the name of “freedom”. But, whose freedom???

The question is, are you free??? Are you free to learn & apply information that will design & architect your own consciousness & skill? Are you free to acquire resources that will construct your own livelihoods so your children become raised on foundations created by you? Are you free to work when you want without oppressive legislation reprimanding you to pay for someone else’s material wealth going further into debt to this illusion of money? Man, better question…Are you free to live without debt? Debt – by itself – is a systemic stronghold on progressive freedom, PERIOD! In other words, if you have cash, paper assets, or fiat currency then YOU’RE IN DEBT Debt to who??? Debt to the ones who print it into existence. Monopoly magicians and corporate tricksters misled you to think cash was king. If that’s true, why does it take less money to create one dollar bill? It takes almost 2¢ to create a 50 dollar bill. Why is that? Do your own research and see if I’m accurate on this.

The bottom line is we’re being hoodwinked into believing in a socioeconomic system that is based on perjurious knowledge. We think we’re being informed, but we’re not! We’ve always been in the dark regarding what’s REALLY GOING ON. There are a lot of people in on it too. These people are stringently supporting oligarchs’ plan of Divide & Conquer; foolishly working against themselves and their children.

Oh!!! I haven’t even touched on what our children will endure regarding the spiritual & mental stress of dealing w/ automated cities. (Again, if you’ve read this far you know I’m not going to care about being PC about info because MF’s need to wake up to this shit.)

Ok…since day one, we’ve been RULERS OF OUR OWN DESTINY. Meaning, we were conceived by father’s space-time consciousness (thought) and then transported through our mother’s mortal portals (wombs) to manifest in flesh as Wombman/Man. When we are born, our thoughts are as ancient as the Sun, but our brains are fresh like a brand new OS in a computer. In other words, you are born pre-installed w/ programs inside your DNA that must be awoken so our hard drives (brains) can store & secure its data. Our children’s brains, eyes, ears, basically their whole entire bodies are free & clear of “worldly” information. So, if you train that child’s brain at an early age to engage & love his worldly life, which is this physical realm, then one will stray away from tapping in the totality of creation which is source code - where your children’s true self is waiting to be activated. Source code is hidden deep within your genetic algorithms and can only be awoken in ALKALINE ENVIRONMENTS OR AWOKEN PARENTS. Parents that have instilled divine principles through practicing ancient laws of the Universe. Now, are you your child’s PRIMARY producer? Are you gathering materials for food shelter and clothing on your own account? Does your child learn foundational skills (how to grow nourishing edibles, produce clothing material, architect their own skill sets) from you or your counter-part? If you answered NO on any question, your children are pawns in this chess game rigged to keep them subordinate vessels forever swimming in perpetual fear (debt). Due UR Research!

The truth is, no one cares because WE DON’T CARE as a collective. How can you say you care when millions of vessels are destroyed every month and WE DO NOTHING! We have allowed murders, assassinations, poisoned attacks, and engineered genocides control our collective responsibility to our children’s future because of fear. Our ancestors ( great grandparents, grandparents ) fought and transitioned just to keep us together spiritually & financially. Yes!!! You are able to enjoy luxuries of materializations because a vessel has sacrificed his/her physical prowess to simplify your acquisitions of wealth. To many people choose sides when every religion, spiritual system, culture, indoctrinations, etc., are derived from Source. Our ancestors believe & did things ignorantly so we can learn from them and upgrade in consciousness because no matter what… they are still apart of Us. They suffered extreme psychological damage from their time in this physical realm from oppression than we today could ever imagine. They travailed. They persevered. They transferred their prosperous synergies to Us - bio genetically. Now, we must implement what our ancestors risked their vessels to manifest, which is OPERATIONAL UNITY. All the buck dancing, buffoonery, pseudo agencies, dysfunctional relationships NEED TO STOP! We are too grown to be fighting each other, in the physical, while others from private militias plot on destroying you and your family’s prosperity in the spiritual. Remember, the more people stay asleep (calcified pineal gland), the less likely you are to activate your God particle that lies dormant within.

When opening up your pineal gland and awaken dormant genetic material in your DNA, you start seeing way beyond this physical realm called reality. When you see things, for the first time shit is confusing as hell - literally. It’s like your mind starts experiencing a conceptualized reality that doesn’t resonate with your core frequency of what you consider as “normal”. So, you vibrate higher. Everything around you becomes amplified. You start to slow time down by separating vibrational wavelengths (Megahertz) having light illuminate hidden messages within Source Code. Your relationships with others become uncomfortable and perturbed. Why? Because your vibrational frequency is no longer radiating on lower levels. Information you receive from your awoken state is now contrary to popular belief which causes you to become a solitary sol-doer - proving with every fiber of your BEing who you REALLY ARE. Why??? Because you finally SEE what your inner child has felt all your life. Your visual focus is no longer impaired and everything, everywhere you see is all apart of YOU. How? Well, when you’ve mediated you gain access to dimensions on other realms. If you give yourself to this Existence and clear your consciousness on what you think is real, answers will come to you ONLY if you’re willing to listen. When you embrace this and accept its extraordinary power over you, you then EMBODY its forces narrowing it down to 2 forces which is spirit & soul/negative & positive/minus & plus/up & down/left & right - the subatomic force in each active particle.

What we’ve been taught though is a false paradigm of this which is God Or devil/Black Or white/Bad Or Good - the choice between who you are.

We’ve been programmed to see or feel good or evil/God or Devil/heaven or hell when the truth is one can’t and will not exist without the other. Having to choose between your mother or father is a false reality forever creating divisions within self causing you to vicariously live through others’ visual focus. This is why wars, combustibilities, and acts of violence happen…because we’ve been programmed to follow one or the other. Not knowing that they BOTH ARE APART OF YOU. The best advice to give someone constantly fighting a war within self and projecting that war onto others in this physical realm is win the battle within self first then use that experience to unify the forces in you to manifest balance in this physical realm. Some of you maybe wondering why I refer to our so called reality as a physical realm…well, because it’s an Plane Of Existence that materializes your thoughts, ideas, imaginations i.e. Childbirth, skill sets, businesses, responsive relationships into fruition. This physical realm is of low vibrational frequencies that are able to crystallize themselves into elemental form of matter. That’s why it’s considered MIND OVER MATTER because of the ability to take sound & symbols and create materialized products through an alchemical prowess.

Most entities can’t access this physical realm without a living host. So, that’s why we have pharmaceutical companies manufacturing solutions to tap into your mind and use You against Yourself. These chemists are disingenuous in the grand scheme of things. They know it’s their job to formulate data based on clinical trials and process this data in a pharmaceutical drug to keep you distracted. It’s becoming to the point that our organically grown food are compromised with anti-antigens that slowly kill off vital nutrients in the produce which is why vessels grow their own food. About time their organics gets to your plate, it’s been stripped from its enriched contents making it half as potent than when it was first produced. This is why we need to grow our own SEEDS, but again private interests will label you as criminal because they’ve patented the subatomic formula and will apprehend you, concentrate you, or worst assassinate you. If we don’t realize monetary currencies of ANY SORT i.e. cash, digital, or liquidated precious metals is the ultimate problem, then gluttony will inevitably imprison us all.
