[No Spoilers] Poll: Do you know The Spoiler of Final Fantasy VII?
- Thread starter Owlowiscious
- Start date
- Status
I remember shortly after the game first came out in Japan and some Japanese dude was posting on the alt.games.final-fantasy news group asking about that spoiler in the thread topic... ugh.
They're remaking it for an entirely new generation of gamers.
Of course most of us here will know it.
If you weren't born the year after this game released, you would be able to vote and drink in America. That's a MASSIVE time frame and to spoil the remake for someone else because "it's been out forever!" is just so lame.

I was unaware that it was illegal to go back and experience things created before you were born.
It's funny to think about though. in the first months that came out, you really could spoil it lol.
it wasn't a literary masterpiece when it came out. It was just a play you were going to see this weekend and just got it spoiled by youtube thumbs.
I do not know really anything about final fantasy 7 except sepiroth is a big bad angel of darkness I think with a big sword. Shit looks cool and I'm exited to play it hope to not get spoiled to.
It will be interesting to see if the story hold's up in today's standards with game stories getting so good.

I accidently knew it in the last years, in a thread about Xenoblade 2. But, as I am playing FF7 on the Switch, I am currently at Disc 2 and it doesn't seem the biggest plot twist to me.
At least, for the moment the reason of Aeris' death doesn't seem clear, I suppose I will find out more in Disc 2 and 3.
In a world where if you complain about someone posting the final boss of a game not even out yet on YouTube and the response is, you shouldn't have been on YouTube, I can't even register how this is a conversation we've had three threads on.
20 year old game.
Not the biggest spoiler.
Those complaining about it being ruined still don't even know the story.

Since 93% of people know this, can we just agree this is just common gaming knowledge at this point?
It's not? I was unaware that it was illegal to just simply ask someone if they've experienced whatever it is you're about to spoil for them?
Takes almost no effort to ask or mark spoilers. Lol.
This plot point seems like it's too big of a deal/surprise to be something that you are just supposed to know before playing the game. If they show this at the E3 trailer or something then sure, I wouldn't be mad about it as much cause then the devs themselves obviously have bigger surprises in store for people who are gonna play this for the first time. But old fans just talking about it and hand-waving it like it's not really a big deal and wasn't supposed to be a surprise to begin with doesn't sit too well with me. (and a lot of FF7 fans do that and actually mockingly spoil stuff for people who have never played the original)
Just to make it clear. I'm not saying that you shouldn't talk about old games/movies/books at all cause "someone might've not played/seen/read it yet". I'm saying people should be considered when there is a remake coming out cause now more people get to experience the game for the first time so why ruin that surprise for them?
It would be no big deal if before Kiwami 2's announcement someone talked about a certain characters death in Yakuza 2 in related Yakuza threads that discuss the story of the game/series. But after the announcement of the remake it would honestly be a dickish move to spoil that plot point, especially in threads that are focused on said remake.
On the off-chance that you're truly this innocent as to the social dynamics of the Internet: any time there's a poll/question that's obviously one-sided, there are going to be a group of people who will deliberately vote the other way for comic effect. If you had asked "Is the sky blue or red?", a lot of people WILL vote red just to highlight the absurdity of the question in the first place. Your poll was at least useful in estimating the demographic of such people here, at least once we subtract the maybe one or two who somehow actually, truly, legitimately managed to evade gaming's "No. I am your father" for some 20+ years.
Lol
Like most new gamers will go back and play a pretty dated PS1 JRPG. Even with all the ports, I doubt they have played it.

Since 7 percent dont know it, a subject which people think is the most known spoiler in video games, can we agree not to post spoilers in threads that aren't inherently about spoiling that topic?
Why would I go back to a PS1 game when a modern remake is coming?
No. People can and should discuss everything in the plot openly. There can be a spoiler policy in the OT, but anything else is overboard.
I'm pretty sure this is the videogame equivalent spoiler of the one from Empire Strikes Back or The Sixth Sense.
Because the remake has been coming for how long? And won't be done anytime soon. And the original was just rereleased on two modern consoles.
Do you actually think people legit voted No? Haha, dude this spoiler has been spoiled countless time by SE.

It's easier to display a great deal of animosity towards spoilerphobia across a series of posts that sometimes harshly insult other members lol
The spoiler that most people are referring to isn't even the big twist of the game. I feel like a lot of people who have played it also forget about it. Shit I feel like square doesn't remember it either.

For "any FFVII thread" I would hope its said weather its spoiler free or spoiler allowed, then people follow that.
I guess where we can fall on different sides, is what the default is if it's not explicitly stated.
This is the best part about discussions regarding FF7. Everyone Lazer-focuses on the first big twist, which hides the big reveal regarding Sephiroth, Jenova, and the truth about Cloud and the actual conflict. Whether or not this was structurally intentional on part of the dev and writing team, I'm unsure, but it's one of my favorite aspects about the narrative in FF7.
I know of the main ones from people freely discussing them over the years & FF:AC... but there are a whole bunch of lesser ones I don't know because I haven't played the game. I never had playstation when it was out and I'd wish that people chilled on providing too many details until the make is out and a lot more people can play for themselves.
I'd imagine there are a bunch of people in a similar position to myself, as well as a whole younger generation who have never had access to any of FFVII's media that would be grateful if people didn't have such a "lol its a 20 year old game" take on the experience.

But they're hyped up for the remake? These the same gamers complaining about Mr. X being persistent too I bet
I genuinely don't know the spoiler, but that's because I've only been gaming for a couple of years and never paid any attention to games before then. I'll probably play the FF7 remake and it would be cool to go in spoiler-free, but I have no expectations of doing so.
I don't know it and never paid attention to final fantasy. Was a Nintendo kid and didn't give a shit about anything PlayStation. Just recently got into PlayStation with the PS4 a few years ago. I watch a lot of gaming content and never heard people talking about FFVII much, so I never really had a reason to know the twist.
I might be more sympathetic to the extreme spoilerphones on this game if it wasn't available on literally all current devices and platforms for cheap. If you're reading this post, you have a device capable of playing FF7 natively right now.
Games back then look like garbage and I would prefer to not play that shit, including games like Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, unless they get remade with graphics I can tolerate.
