*squees a little at the picture of Cloud and Aerith's church meeting in the little box on one of the scans* :fangirl:

Thank you for the scans, Maiden :huggle: (hehe, more Cloud in the snow :P )
Actually, Schala-Kitty (
AC.Net Forums) has translated some of the info about the gameplay and the story of the game:
| QUOTE |
About the gameplay The reels are the symbolic expression of Zack's memories and situation. Mind and body are affected as they spin, aiming to change various characteristic of the young SOLDIER. - The left reel affects HP, the center MP, and the right AP. - If you satisfy certain conditions which effect only the reel screen, special patterns will emerge and their power can be invoked. - Usually below the reels the indicator says "normal," but you can access a special mode. - Getting 2 of the same character or number gives you a larger bonus, and 3 of the same will set off a special attack. (Limit Break) - If you satisfy these conditions of the reels, the reel menu only will covert, and will only contain the pattern that set off the Limit Break. (From what I read of demo reports, I believe that Zack will be temporarily invulnerable while the Limit Break is being invoked.) - There will be materia that can change the probability of the reels. - HP and MP levels are of little effect. - But if you run out of SP, the reels will stop.
About the story - With the strong human portrayals (of the characters), the point is to move the player to tears. - In the latest (trailer lit: image) a new blonde character (Lazard/Razard) appeared. - There is also a new female character. - Tseng and Aeris' past will only be covered a little. - For the first half the Shinra building will be the home base, and the story will advance in the various places you're dispatched to. It is possible to visit the 8 Sectors. - Along with progressing the story you are free to move about the Field map, but there is no World Map. - The whole of the development process is at 60% - Lazard is a representative of the SOLDIER union. - Genesis' voice is provided by Mr. Gackt. Genesis is a SOLDIER 1st Class. - Before Aeris' image was of someone sacred and holy, but this time she has a very lively image. - While he is in 2nd Class we have "Zack the puppy" but when he becomes a 1st Class he changes his hair style. - Just as Cloud was influenced by Zack, Zack in turn will be influenced by Angeal. (Not sure if that's supposed to be literal.) - The major point of the story is, the presentation of how the three different members of SOLDIER's 1st Class will influence Zack. The relationship between these three is paramount. |
Mmmm... It seems that the "three men" that Crisis Core initial quote was referring were Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis -__-º
EDIT-->>
And vilaeth has translated some parts from the Dengeki interview:
| QUOTE |
- Tabata describes CC as a 'human drama' dealing with Zack while he was alive that concentrates on its portrayal of the characters - You only control Zack, and not a party of characters - While the battles might look complicated, you won't have to input a lot of tricky commands - Following with CC's focus on drama, battles incorporate story elements as well, you might even 'end up crying during some of the battles' - Materia in CC will have an original method of customization - There's more to the battles than what was shown at Jump Festa - The first part of the game has you being dispatched to different locations with the Shinra building as your home base, and the latter parts involve Zack on the run from Shinra - Nomura describes the battle system as like ATB system without the 'wait' setting. You enter commands when a gauge fills up, but that isn't displayed on the screen - Even though it's already clear what will happen to Zack, Nomura feels that when people get to that point of the game they'll feel strongly about wanting to try to avoid that fate - Zack gradually grows up into a man as he makes his way towards being a SOLDIER 1st class, in contrast to the whole 'puppy' thing - Although their personalities are completely different, Angeal will have an impact on Zack and he grows as a character (like Zack did to Cloud) - Nomura comments on how much effort Nojima is putting into the scenario, and thinks CC’s is his best of late |

Thanks A_K for the translations and Schala-Kitty, vilaeth for translating. :gift:
So, Tseng and Aeris' past will only be covered a little? Tseng liked Aerith right? I can't remember. >_< And so now we know Aerith is not a playable character :rolleyes: I wonder what those spinning slots were than? Maybe, she cured him or something. xP
And kinda off topic, but I wanna know if Tifa will be in here? Which I'm sure she will be, but just a thought. :lol:
NekoDono - December 20, 2006 10:24 PM (GMT)
Well Tifa will probably be only in the Nibelheim part because, other than that, she and Zack don't know each other. (it'd be down right silly if they did)

Well, I'm just wondering if S-E will throw the CloTi Nibelheim scene in there cause that's one part I really hate for some reason and I'm neutral. :lol:

Orly?
Burn, Zack, burn! Kiddingz, kiddingz... :giggle:
Seriously though, the Nibelheim incident has already been rehashed to death. We really don't need anymore of that, though I get the feeling SE will be drilling it into our heads again. I'm actually more interested in having a better understanding of Jenova and the Cetras. I hope SE doesn't leave us hanging.

*frowns*
Bah, SE! Go dig up your Genesis-es and Angeals and Razards. I'm bummed you couldn't expand a bit more on the Cetras, there's so much potential there!
~Fury Brand~ - December 21, 2006 11:17 AM (GMT)
I ... think we know more about Aerith's personality than S-E do :P
She was definitely lively in FFVII, if they think otherwise ... I wonder what they're smoking :lol:
Maybe they just mean Aerith in Advent Children :unsure:

I'm pretty certain that they will. :(
I bet her only role now is as a support for Zack. Or at least, the only way we see her is as Zack's 'girlfriend', not as the last surviving cetra, not as Aerith herself. Maybe they won't even show Shinra chasing Aerith down. And I was really looking forward to seeing Aerith/Tseng interaction!! I always thought it was cute in the game (kinda wrong, but cute nonetheless).
Seriously, who cares about these new characters? Why concentrate so much on them? :(

To be honest, his work hasn't been that great...coughACcough.

Oh, come on! We explored Cloud and Tifa's to death, and even the new characters' pasts. Why not the main heroine's? Let me guess: it'll porbably be all about Angael/Zack/Genesis, won't it? :yawn:

My god, Zack looks so much like Sasuke. :o
Thanks for the scans! Much appreciated!
