If your enjoyment of a game hinges on one specific plot point, then I don't know what to tell you.
thisHere's another spoiler: you can know the plot of a story and still enjoy it. "Surprise" is not the only (or even most important) element of good narrative.
It'll spoil the tv shows ending. Ain't nobody ever seeing the books endingThe tv show has literally gone past the books and will spoil the actual ending of the series....
nah man, it's ridiculous to expect people to do that.
the game is like 22 years old at this point and has been ported to every platform under the sun, her death scene is practically the first thing you hear about vii. if you haven't played it at this point, that's on you.
There is more value to fiction than knowing what the fuck fucking happens holy shit
Aerith dies nigga I'ma tell it loud too
Rosebud is the name of his sledI wanted to personally thank everyone in the thread reminding us of the exact number of years that have elapsed since the game was released. This is very important information that we must keep in mind at all times, and it's not at all annoying to see it repeated it over and over. Bringing it to our attention truly is the hallmark of original discussion and insight you believe it to be, and it doesn't get old at all.
wow way to ruin the movie bro now there is nothing to enjoy about citizen kane
This.. y'all getting ridiculous with your spoiler culture. Guess wat? snape kills DumbledoreThis game is 20 years old god damn why can't y'all just be normal
there's that bird squawk scene transitionwow way to ruin the movie bro now there is nothing to enjoy about citizen kane
Sephiroth killing Aeris is so ubiquitous of a spoiler that Squaresoft itself included the scene in promotional material for the game.I'm actually really disheartened that this community is so openly hostile at the idea of preserving one of gaming's greatest moments for those who haven't had the chance to experience it yet.
Like... What the fuck does it matter to you that fans of this game want others to experience it fresh like we did? If that's possible, why would you literally go out of your way to disregard their potential experience and spoil it anyway? I don't understand.
The "decades old" argument is completely irrelevant. THIS game will be brand new, and will definitely be a first, fresh experience for so many people. This is a valid conversation, and the people mocking this thread and telling OP to fuck off have a disappointing lack of empathy.
I have a bad feeling GRRM will die of sleep apnea before we ever see another book.It'll spoil the tv shows ending. Ain't nobody ever seeing the books ending
That's not counting the countless other times they did it, or gaming magazines that referenced it, or other mediums referencing it, etc.Sephiroth killing Aeris is so ubiquitous of a spoiler that Squaresoft itself included the scene in promotional material for the game.
I mean Aerith's dead body is shown on the fucking box art for christs sake.That's not counting the countless other times they did it, or gaming magazines that referenced it, or other mediums referencing it, etc.
It's actually bonkers to request what's being asked in the OP.
I know you say it in jest, but I think the actual big spoiler of FFVII is how Cloud took over Zack's identity. I see plenty of people online who don't seem to have heard of that.Besides, the real spoiler is that you never actually interact with Sephiroth until the end of the game.

I can't believe you spoiled Citizen Kane for me even though I don't know the context of this plot point or the what significance this holds to characters in the film. It's just a meaningless jumble of words that somehow ruins the film!
There's a lot of people without much empathy in this thread. A remake brings in a new audience and potentially young audience who didn't have the opportunity or didn't care about the countless ports because they had no nostalgia for the game. A remake like this is undoubtedly an opportunity to jump in tho. So yes, people should watch out for their spoilers.
You're expecting an enthusiast board to talk cryptically about a game that has been a defining cultural centerpiece for decades. This isn't some obscure thing getting brought into the spotlight - it's still one of the most widely identifiable games ever made.Here's something that may surprise you: there may be people who weren't alive 20 years ago who might want to try this game out.
Star Wars has been around for what, 40+ years? I'm sure at some point little Timmy wanted to check the movie out only to have his asshole dad don a Darth Vader helmet and start spouting "I am your father". If all the fans stopped meme'ing that line, it could probably be obscure again.
Yeah I know that's borderline impossible, but as big as FFVII is, it's not Star Wars big. I think it's less impossible to curb the open spoilers.
That I can agree with, mainly because of how out of the way that scene is. I had to have it pointed out to me because there's no logical reason to reach the in-game scene trigger.know you say it in jest, but I think the actual big spoiler of FFVII is how Cloud took over Zack's identity. I see plenty of people online who don't seem to have heard of that.
Besides, the real spoiler is that you never actually interact with Sephiroth until the end of the game.
