Whether you're a diehard fan that lives and breathes the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy universe or you're someone that has no idea why the franchise is hyped up as much as it is, there is no denying that Final Fantasy 7 was an influential and important title in the history of video games. Developers learned a lot about world-building, visuals,ཧ and even combat mechanics from this PS1-era gem.
But as "good" as Final Fantasy 7 is, there are a lot of elements that don't make sense, specifically in the department of game logic (or just logic in genera🎃l).
We c♈ame across 10 logic-specific memes that will show you exactly what we mean.
Updated March 23rd, 2020 by Russ Boswell: Final Fantasy 7 is always resting gracefully on the tips of the tongues of every RPG fanatic. Even in 2020, this iconic title is heavily referenced by Final Fantasy fans, turn-based enthusiasts, and video gamers in general. With the upcoming release of the Final Fantasy 7 remake, we thought it would be a fantastic time to revisit some classic FF7 logic memes (and toss in a few more rib-ticklers just for good measure). How many of these strange occurrences and logical issues will we see in the remake? Only time will tell!
14 🎉 14. The Dreaded Unskippabܫle Attack Animation
Final Fantasy 7 is filled with all sorts of cool attacks and summon animations. Wh⭕en the game first came outไ it was a delight to see all of the visual effects unfold during battle.
Unfortunately, it gets old really fast. Once you've seen a summon animation for the umpteenth time, you'll likely find y🧸ourself frustratedly t෴apping the X-button in the hopes that you can skip through all the nonsense.
13 🧜 13. Fight Fire With 🌄Fire
Final Fantasy 7's storyline can be a bit complex at times. There's a lot going on during the 🐭expansive adventur🗹e so we don't blame anyone for missing out on some of the intricate details sprinkled throughout the narrative.
All you really need to know is that an angry silver-haired man with mo🤡mmy issues is summoning a massive Meteor to w🍨ipe everyone out.
Tha𒊎nkfully, Cloud and his party are nearby to pelt frogs and other creatures with summoned Comets. Yeah, this one doesn't really add up, but it looks cool.
12 🔥 12. A Spiky-Haired Iꦬcon
Some video game characters are simply so iconic that their name, look, and "brand" transcends all platforms. Everyone knows who Mario is, players can easily pick Kratos out of a lineup, and Doomguy is a demon-slaying legend. Cloud Strife is definitely part of the cast of characters that all gamers are familiar with, even if they've never picked up Final Fantasy 7 for themselves.
Still, it's pretty crazy to see him battling it out o♔n the Smash roster, even if Smash has pulled icons from other꧅ PlayStation games and IPs.
11 11. Hurry Up꧒ Aওnd Wait
Final Fantasy 7 had the awesome benefit of bringing🍎 the much-beloved franchise into the "new age of graphics" during its time. Sure, by today's standards it looks terribl𝓀e but back then it was a visual Godsend.
We really can't blame the develop🌌ers for wanting to utilize all their fancy new tools and artwork space to create elaborate animations and visual effects but there's no denying they went a tad too far at times. Take for example the agonizingly long mid-battle cutscene that is Sephiroth quite literally exploding planets with his Supernova. Not only is it non-sensical when you really think about the damage that's happening on-screen, but it also takes FOREVER to progress from start to finish.
10 ꦛ 10. There's Always Time For Fun
Regardless of where you stand in the debate of Final Fantasy 7 and its reign as "the best game in the franchise," it's hard to ignore that the title is filled to the absolute brim with sidequests and mini-games. Don't get us wrong, t꧋his is a good thing from a gameplay staꦐndpoint (although some of the mini-games run a bit long and are a bit awkward) but it puts a huge damper on the "logic" surrounding the story.
This is especially true when yo🎃u realiꦺze that Sephiroth is slowly working towards completely decimating the world with a massive meteor. It's your main priority until you discover the Golden Saucer. Curse those addictive Chocobo Races.
9 9. Phoenix Downs Do What? 🔯
Let's just go ahead and get this one out of the way. Any Final Fantasy 7 logic article wouldn't be ⛄complete without a look at p♔erhaps the most glaring inconsistency of all.
After Aerith is cruelly struck down Sephiroth, a tear-jerking cutscene plays in which Cloud is forced t𝓰o say goodbye to someone he cared deeply for (a꧒lthough he hadn't known her that long, but that's another story for another time).
The emotionally-devastating ꦕmusical scores and build-up of emotions are enough to make any fan break out the tissues but it still leaves us scratching our heads about why the group didn't just use a Phoenix Down to bring the beloved flower-seller back.
8 8. The Myst♛erious Float Materia
While we're here, talking about the emotional cutscene with Aerith and cloud, we have another logical bone to pick. There is no denying that the cutscene itself is beautifully displayed and that (for the time esp꧅ecially) creators did a great job implementing some expertly-rendered animations and visuals into this particular moment.
That said, and beauty aside, we can't for the life ꩵof us figure out what Cloud is "standing on" in this scene. He seems to be anchored pretty well when he's holding onto Aerith, yet, when he lets her sink into the abyss, we can clearly see there are no platforms anywhere around.
7 ꦡ 7. Not Everyday Is Leg Day ꦇ
Sure, Cloud may have some seriously strong legs to be able to "make up his own invisible ground and platforms" but the guy seems to lack any consistent arm strength. It's a bi💝t strange to see too, considering he spends a majority of his time dragging around a massive piece of metal. The Buster Sword is no joke, especially when you🔯 consider how much upper body strength it must take just to swing it once successfully.
But Cloud obviously doesn't hit the gym for any arm-based exercises. Just take this classic in-game scene for example. Cloud can effortlessly swꦆing the Buster Sword but can't do a single pull-up?
6 6. I Have No Mouth But🐟 I Must Scream
You really have to applaud Final Fantasy 7 for helping to break some o⛎f the visual barriers for video games. It was released at a tiꦡme in which blocky aesthetics and polygonal people were the norm, yet, it featured beautifully stylized FMV sequences that played out like a blockbuster animated film.
That said, it's still beyond jarring to see the game transition from the gorgeously smooth lines of an FMV to the dull, pixelated, and overly-polygonal shapes in-game. Even more alarming? Outside of these cut-scenes, the characters thems♊elves don't have mouths.
5 5. 🥃Maybe It's Maybelline
🀅Anyone who watches a lot of anime knows that Japan loves to create wild and exaggerated hairstyles for a lot of their characters. It's a welcome addi꧋tion as it gives each character a unique set of visuals to coincide with their often boisterous personalities.
Final Fantasy 7 is no different, and althou🐭gh many may complain that Clo🐭ud's hair looks like the hind-end of a Chocobo, we're more interested in the logic behind those ever-rigid follicles.
How exactly does Cloud's hair keep its insane shape over the entire course of the Final Fantasy 7 adv𝓰enture? Imagine havin🔯g to stock up on hair gel like you would potions or tents.
