When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I'm playing the remake and I'm at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn't know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

Two playthroughs ago, I realized that the entire honeybee brothel sequence in original ff7 used a combination of writing/camera work/blocking/framing/mini games to foreshadow that Cloud is a big fat fraud and a scared little boy (imo he's a satire of gamers). The level of sophistication in that games design is just nuts.

It makes me sad how Cloud’s character growth (especially after late in the game when you go through his memories as Tifa) is sorta thrown out in his other appearances as he often is reduced back to the brooding tough guy attitude he fakes at the start of the game.

I wasn't sure what happened at the Bee until I learned that bubby is slang for a homosexual's husband.
