Hojo in the first phase of his boss fight has a completely unique "death" animation where he ingests some Mako before the phase shift that is never seen due to a few oversights in his battle AI and attack data.

Now I heard there was a tiny box
Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch
And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah
But though it promised games for free
And mobile ports on your TV
It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

despite the name there's actually at least one more final fantasy after ffvii
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Myrna erasure is actually a hallowed FFVII tradition, and you aren't truly a fan of the OG if you want it restored here
The latest Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Update has changed a line Barret says to Dyne. It originally said, "This is your chance to give your daughter a better life than we had."

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.

Damn was this guy always this fucking dumb
Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

there was a whole explosion in "Rebirth is too silly/cringe" discourse while we were deep into making this (started about 3 months ago) and I almost abandoned the thumbnail because it felt too confrontational, but ultimately kept it. anyway if you want to know why dyne has a tetsuo arm watch this

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).

feel like people are missing the bigger point that this guy is somehow getting piss directly on his hands?
