Special Thanks:
Alex Donaldson for planting the seed of this thesis in TH’s head all the way back in February of last year. You can check out his own write up about this scene from a couple weeks later: https://www.vg247.com/final-fantasy-7...
SubTXT and his community for fielding questions and helping us brainstorm ideas

As always, we’re incredibly grateful to Shademp, Jason Maltz, the staff behind 7th Heaven, the folks on Qhimm's forums, and all other members of FFVII’s magnificent modding community, past and present, for forging and discovering the tools and material to make Shinra Arch’s work possible. We are ever mindful that we stand on the shoulders of giants.

About the Footage:
All OG footage after the opening is taken from the Shinra Archaeology retranslation mod. We decided that conveying the nuance of the Japanese script and showing lines omitted from the English localization was, in this case, more important than the nostalgia of the original English text.

Footage from both the OG and Rebirth has been lightly edited or spliced in sections for the sake of brevity and the pacing of this video. For a direct comparison of these two sequences in their uncut entirety, please watch or play them all the way through.

Developer remarks during in-video skits are included for comedy and do not represent real quotes.

One Last Note:
Though we finalized the script for this video only two months ago, a lot has happened in the FFVII community since then, including some heated discourse around this very scene. It’s our hope today's analysis doesn’t fan undue negativity toward the Remake Project. As those familiar with our work will know, we’re big fans of the new trilogy and ardent supporters of all the staff involved in it. We ask that commenters remain respectful toward each other and FFVII’s many talented contributors.
