(Spoilers) Things I think and would like to see potentially in FF7R part 2
Post Body

So I'm already on my third playthrough of the game(gonna get all them trophies y'all) and playing through it each time I always discover something new and exciting that I didn't see in my last two playthroughs and it really gives me hope and excitement for what could potentially arrive in part 2 so here's a list of things I want or think could potentially appear.

Potential Things

I'm expecting Part 2 to Start with The Nibelheim Flashback or at least the party arriving in Kalm and then expository details are given to our big bad Sephiroth and the famed Nibelheim Flashback we got little sprinkles of here and there in Part 1.

I'm also expecting Part 2 to END in Nibelheim or Mt.Nibel rather. My view is that we start the newest part talking about the famed Nibelheim Flashback which tells us the village is most likely reduced to ash by the present but then we arrive in Nibelheim to see it's completely restored but there's obviously something off as well like another woman living in Cloud's home claiming she's lived here all her life and the constant denial of the Nibelheim Massacre happening to the party retracing the steps of the Flashback.

Personally, I feel we'd end the game in Mt.Nibel's Reactor fighting potentially another Jenova boss. Because let's be honest...ending the game on a Materia Keeper boss battle wouldn't have the best pay off.

I'm not expecting a 1 for 1 continuation of the games original plot if anything I'm expecting similar beats like we'll get the Dyne/Corel Subplot to explore Barrett's background further and Red's background with Cosmo Canyon and we'll more than likely still infiltrate Junon. But at the same time I feel we're going to follow the same path as the original in the sense we're strictly chasing Sephiroth because he's the big bad. I don't know how'll they'll expand the plot but I'm pretty sure it'll be excellent.

Yuffie will be introduced earlier than expected. I think she'll be introduced as a potential plot element to return our characters to Level 1 in the sense that Part 2 isn't going to have some stats/data transfer option so she'll pop in at Kalm after the flashback is over and Ninja Steal EVERYTHING.

Things I want to happen

Expanding and Evolving the already impressive combat system.

Combat is already amazing with what Part 1 brought to the table but with Part 2 uping our playable party to 5 at the beginning of the game to potentially 7(Yuffie and Cait Sith)...maybe 8 if we're lucky and Vincent doesn't get the Guest Party Member treatment. We're gonna need ways to make the game force us to use everyone and not just have the freedom of using just Cloud and our 2 favorites.

I think one smart way to do this is Party Switching via FFX style. So at any point in battle Cloud can maybe spend an ATB Charge to swap a potential party member out for another. Tifa's unable to reach the target? Cloud swaps her out for Barrett since he's got the range.

Team Attacks. It's been hinted at a few times especially with moments like Red and Barrett using Fire In The Hole and Stardust Ray at the same time for that one boss battle. I think FF7R can bring something similar to FFXV's Link Strikes where the Chocobros had some unqiue team up moves depending what weapon Noctis was wielding and which party member he was nearby.

Dungeons that require multiple parties. I know the Drum ain't everyone's cuppa but it brought something to the game that I personally enjoyed. A dungeon that forces me to switch between multiple parties in order to fully travese it. This goes back to Yuffie joining a tiny bit earlier than expected because this would give us 6 party members off the bat and 2 teams of 3 and when we eventually get the full original party 3 teams of 3. I think it's smart to bring dungeons when you have one team led by Cloud and a 2nd team led by say Tifa similar to the Drum chapter and you have to alternate using the PHS opr whatever mobile devices they have to prgress further. It gives the party equal limelight and engages the player to be encouraged to play every playable party member. We could do this as early as the Mythril Mines and similar to how both parties fought the Swordipede Boss you could have both parties fighting The Turks. Like one party fights Rude alone and the other has Elena and Tseng.

That's all I got for now in terms of things I'm excited for. Post what you might want down below. I want to hear everyone's potential theories and wishes they want.

Cheers Folks!
