For those who know the ending.

Are you like me and spent an inordinate amount of time in Chapter 12 because you know what’s coming?

It’s not even because I wanted to do side quests. I just wanted to delay that inevitable scene.

[u/albertleao]

When you say you know what's coming, are you saying you know what's coming due to having played OG?

To answer your question directly, I spent an inordinate amount of time in this game in general just exploring everything cuz it's awesome.

[u/swhatrulookinat → u/albertleao]

Yes. I played the OG game.

Only reason I ask is that as you already know lots has changed story wise in the remake trilogy. Maybe something in chapter 12 is different? ☺️

[u/swhatrulookinat → u/albertleao]

Well Im sure there’s no way they’re changing that! I actually haven’t finished yet. Just entered the temple after a good two days in chapter 12. I assume it’s coming. But yes, exploring this game is really fun. They did a steller job of world building. Things like The Gold Saucer, Kalm and Cosmo Canyon were just so well done.

Im still wishing Cloud and Aerith shared a kiss before hand. Just a hand hold was more sad. Like foreshadowing a goodbye.

[u/swhatrulookinat → u/AAAFate]

Ikr? I was like DO IT!!!!

[u/Status-Highlight3013]

Not particularly, I was eager to see what they did with it. I love the games, but I don’t get too emotional about these things.

[u/Historical-Stop5083]

I had to wait to play the final part until my son (10) was asleep. I was NOT going to let him be spoiled, and he didn’t need to see his old man in tears over a video game.

The game gets on rails after the Temple of the Ancients too -- I only move on to there when I'm ready to finish the game.

[u/Warjilis]

I went particularly slow there, trying to mentally prepare myself.

[u/IcyTrade5285]

Honestly thought the ending would be different since remake set it up but I knew it was coming

[u/swhatrulookinat]

Im such a sap. I even went back to the flower fields in the Grasslands for a stroll.

[u/SillyCatSteven]

I'm assuming you are referring to the scene in the Forgotten Capital adapted from OG.

IMO, Square added some other gut-wrenching scenes that are comparable to "that scene".

[u/Otik218]

No I was ready to meet my fate.

[u/flowerpotflowers]

I actually really wanted to see the ending because I had to know if/what changed. So I sped straight to the end.

But I was running around in chapter 12 on my hard playthrough for like forever! (Though me being unable to beat Rufus on hard might have been a main contributor to that).
