I didn't get into Final Fantasy until 8. So I've always known she dies. It didn't do anything for me when she did.

However, I did feel like her death was a surprisingly long way into the game despite being disc 1.

Same. Plus the characters are meh in FF7 in my opinion, I didn't really get attached to them.

I've only played FF7 for the first time recently. I'm in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don't know if it's an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.

Who doesn't like a cheerful and full of hope Selphie? Or a cool duster wearing guy? Or a Man with a Machine Gun? Even Squall, the stereotype has an okay-personality while Cloud seem so... empty?

It's at least disc 2, disc 1 ends when you leave midgar

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

No it doesn't. This is where Disc 1 ends.

It's after this cutscene that the game asks for Disc 2.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Leaving Midgar is barely the beginning of disc 1 of the original game. Cosmo Canyon, the Gold Saucer, Corel Prison, Rocket Town and a lot more are all disc 1.

Huh weird, I guess remake must have messed with my memory
