I will translate this week one for either: (a) $2,000; or (b) the right to secretly insert a fake 1,000-word scene wherever I wish (if you figure out which scene it is, you're not allowed to tell anyone. And no it is not the Barret x Reeve scene)

TIL Tifa only equips one glove in OG.
This has led to the SAC update of all time because we'd made all the names and item get lines plural lol.

In today's Last Elixir video, we shine a spotlight on one of FFVII’s most memorable scenes. Enjoy a detailed breakdown of Dyne and Barret’s Corel Prison duel and a measured look at how it was reimagined for FFVII Rebirth.

While working on the next Last Elixir video I discovered that Dyne has a bunch of cut behavior in his OG boss fight. He has an unused animation for throwing something (no associated unused attack), the ability to cast fire, and an unused action for yelling at Barret mid-fight (no associated text).

How KH does retcons to tie new events to past games is so funny. Like, yeah, Aqua was totally 5 feet to the left at the end of KH1. Yen Sid always said the key line you just couldn't hear it. Ansem totally told Kairi (age 5) about fictional worlds before shooting her off into space. Yeah. For sure.

The enemy skill "flamethrower" from OG was localized as "fireball" in Rebirth. There's also a different enemy attack also called "fireball" that is not the enemy skill, which was also translated as fireball in Rebirth. We had to match this is SAC for the localization consistency. Fuck me.
You think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because you lack the patience for a 20-year interwoven story.
I think Kingdom Hearts is confusing because "Dark Assault" is localized as "Dark Strike" but "Dark Ammo" is localized as "Dark Assault."
We are not the same: you clearly have spent your time better.

Sometimes I vanity google SAC, and whenever I find a reddit thread mentioning it there's a solid chance I'll find that turq had already responded to it like three days earlier.
Our vanity will be our undoing.

🎉 Happy one year anniversary to FFVII Shinra Archaeology Cut—a ground-up OG retranslation that optionally restores cut content. Huge thanks to the tens of thousands of you who've played the mod so far. We're excited to keep refining it in the years to come! For more info, check out our pinned post.

Was looking at battle models and realized most battle models with face textures have their faces placed like 7 pixels higher than they should be, leading to them looking more scrunched than they should and losing some detail.

This was actually my first major exposure to Toby Fox lol. After Undertale hit it big they scrubbed Toby's Starmen.net posts, so it's almost entirely lost media (despite what the post says, only the first page was archived) which makes me sad. It was pretty damn funny.
Toby once did a Let's Play of Earthbound on the Starmen forums in 2007, Which can still be accessed via the Internet Archive.

I've done this before, but I lost the old file, so here is the events of #FFVII Remake and Rebirth broken down by day. We know FFVII starts before midnight, and that the starting date is December 9th, so the rest of this is extrapolated by counting the day/night transitions lol.

I've never bothered to confirm, but deep in my soul I know in JP this was "not interested."

Sorry to be an old person but I'm watching the Sonic Crossworlds rival interactions and I can't help but think "man I miss the Sonic Adventure and 4kids actors" lol. I don't even think the current cast is bad, but I have like no attachment to any of them.
