PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SCENES IN THE GAME. EVER.

EDIT: So, I managed to get my hands on a (fanmade, I believe) remastered edition of FF7's OST, which has been giving me some mixed feelings. It's very nice to have updated instruments and such, because there are certain limits in sound that comes from old games that make it very obvious they're old. The sound is certainly a lot cleaner and with a bigger... hmm what's the word. Range, I suppose? But the issue I'm having with the remastering is that sometimes the balance that I hear with the original music is thrown out. For example, the random battle theme doesn't have as much OOMPH as the original one has, from what I can tell. So now I'm kind of flip-flopping about this remastered OST, though I'll probably end up keeping it.

I also managed to get my hands on some scans for some of the various FF7 artbooks. I haven't looked through the original one yet, but I like how the FFAC has stuff like:

"In terms of design I was picturing a skull-headed dog, but the head turned out more like a rodent. As for their hidden powers... um... OK, how's this? Even if their head gets knocked off or they lose a leg, they just keep running! They keep running until they get you. Sure, no living thing could do that, but I figured, 'what the heck?' I know, I'm irresponsible."

"Cloud and the gang certainly aren't using mako anymore [...] I guess the airship must be running on some mysterious ancient power source."

RULE OF COOL IN FULL EFFECT RIGHT HERE. Also, "At some point close to the release date, a giant poster featuring Cloud and Sephiroth was unfurled on the cylinder-shaped Shibuya 109 building, giving the movie immense exposure." I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS.

Neku's shoes can go die btw.

PIC IS SHAPING UP NICELY. UM, I LIKE THE ADDITION OF BLOOD. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with me. Just, wow. Colour makes it look all official-art like. o__o (Only your style is different, naturally, less anorexic, but still, LOOKS SO CANON.) Neku's shoes do look tough, I'd never noticed them before. Also his outfit is so freakishly well coordinated I never understood how Shiki could pick on him for his fashion sense.

That was the coolest mini-game ever. Also I liked that these display vehicles had fuel and keys on hand for convenient getaways! Silly ShinRa. Oh man, can you imagine this scene in ACC-style graphics?

It's okay, I like bleeding things a lot more than I should 8D. I was actually considering using the same inking style as canon, but I kind of want to get the colours done. If I feel like it, I might add it in and see if it makes a difference heh. I just think Shiki thinks Neku's sense of taste isn't cute enough. Which is why I totally think she teams up with Eri and Joshua to bully Neku into 'cuter' outfits post game |D

Heh, I like how FF7 could just get away with these kinds of things that logically wouldn't happen. (WHERE DID CLOUD KEEP THE BUSTER SWORD WHEN HE WAS IN THAT DRESS??) Ahaha seeing that cutscene in ACC graphics would be epic and I would watch it again and again and again and again ad infinitum. Oh, have you seen the PS3 Tech demo (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Technical_Demo), where the redid the graphics for FF7's intro with PS3 graphics? Aaaaaaaa if they really did make a FF7 remake for the PS3, I would buy a PS3 just for it.
