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.

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