  • Hamaguchi confirmed that each character will have 4 fits, which are apparently used as both costume and job. FF7 allowed anyone to be any job with the materia set you give them, and the fits will apparently give them unique abilities to focus on a job. Time to list all the jobs that exist and spread them across the 8 characters? Mystic Knight / Dark Knight for Cloud, Time Mage for Red XIII, Monk and apparently Black Mage for Tifa, Berserker and Blue Gunner for Vincent… Cait Sith can have the White Mage and be actually relevant now.




  • He’s a Republican because he fell for the Reagan bling, he’s said multiple times he got in it for him. I think he never really understood what that actually meant, and he did side with leftist ideas more often than against, and he did do a bunch of things that are more leftist than he understands, but he still had some pretty entrenched ideas of what a Republican is that he never managed to question despite having reality shoved in his face, so he’s still a Republican by religion and lack of reckoning of what that really does.









  • The Link-Zelda ship problem is that all Zeldas are each other’s blood daughters, and all Links are the same “soul of the hero” despite being different people. So they don’t want to have any incest story baked in this reincarnation stuff, and it stays platonic most of the time. This was a retcon (kinda) introduced Skyward Sword, probably to justify why they’d been avoiding it the whole time, previous games like LttP and OoT would only say that the various Links were just from some royal knight families or “the last of the families of knights”.

    Skyward Sword is the very first incarnation of both of these characters (Zelda being the first human incarnation of Hylia, and we don’t know about Link), so they can be in love - it goes out of focus, but it’s assumed to still be there at the end. And then BotW is the very end of the timeline, tens of thousands of years later, so that’s fine, they’re very clearly in love there by the end, and live together in TotK.

    There’s also some hints in the Wind Water timeline (I think in Spirit Tracks but I never played it), because that timeline insists that this is a new hero unrelated to the previous soul of the hero.
