S6E130 Distant Memory 130 - Got my promotion, now my manager quit! What's next, a date with Cloud?
When I started playing Crisis Core this time through I knew what I was stepping into. I knew how this story ends and what it would do to me. Getting to hang out with the cuties felt like meeting up with an old polycule, and each conversation was bittersweet with the knowledge of the tragedy to follow.
I've described this game as "How you found your boyfriend, and lost the other." It paints a very different picture of the conversations you'll have later in FFVII with Aerith and Tifa and Sephiroth. It shows why Cloud doesn't have the best memory retention of his time working in SOLDIER, or even how he got to Midgar in the first place. I'll forever have a soft spot for the entire cast, although I'm curious to see what else I learn in the Remake and how it changes bits of the original story.
We'll be playing through the Newgame+ and extra missions over time, but it'll be a little less structured as I do challenge missions in quick succession. I want to say thank you for everybody who watched through the entirety of this game, and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
