I forgot to ask this, but did y’all peep those 3 whispers at the end were based on Cloud, Barret, and Tifa?
I thought so at first, but the Ultimania confirmed that they're Kadaj/the other brehs from Advent Children (whose weapons were also a sword, gat and fists). More gems from the Ultimania:
- Kitase says there is speculation there will be 3 parts, but they are just doing things one step at a time.
- Nomura says the release date for the next part depends on how big a chunk it will be. Smaller part = faster development.
- Quote from Kitase: "We're not drastically changing the story and making it into something completely different than the original. Even though its a Remake, please assume the story of FF7 will continue as FF7 always has from here on out."

- In Wall Market chapter, Andrea Rhodea (the dancer) and Jules (the gym manager) are actually siblings.
- The penultimate boss has 3 elite smaller versions: Rubrum, Viridi, and Croceo. They use the same weapons and fighting style as Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo from Advent Children.
- These 3 bosses also form a Bahamut clone. The Advent Children trio summons Bahamut in that movie as well.
- 2021 date for part 2 is out of the question.
- Kazushige Nojima says he wants to add Crisis Core locations in future installments.
- Cloud is 5'7". Barret is 6'4".
- Cloud is physically 21 but is mentally 16. He is missing 5 years of his life.
- 4 types of Sephiroth in the game:
* The one that only Cloud sees, like in Chapter 2.
* The black-robed men being used by Sephiroth, who seek the Reunion.
* Sephiroth inside Cloud's memory.
* The Sephiroth at the end which everyone can see and interact with.
- The cartoon dog picture at the Zack flashback at the end is important.
- Nomura: We wanted to have the last boss fight take place at the highway in Midgar, which arises questions that I cannot answer. There is a character who’s alive, which leads to a great mystery.
- Nomura (FFVIIR Ultimania): "I can't let you know the true meaning of "Remake" yet. Talk to me in a few years (laughs)."
