I'm currently replaying Far Cry 6. I have a soft spot for the Far Cry games.

I've just started playing FFXIV this week and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Been playing a Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke. I have 6 gym badges now and a very good team. Intend on trying to beat Cynthia in battle eventually and win it, although whether I win or lose, it's probably the last Nuzlocke/Wonderlocke I'll do of a Pokemon game for a long time.

Playing Fallout 4. Never played a single Fallout game before but it's fun whenever I'm not getting killed every 10 seconds lol. Just arrived in Diamond City and I really would like to get to get my radiation damage healed lol. Let's see how long it'll take me to hate this mechanic

Yeah some of the writing choices were a bit strange, but it was still a decent game. Like when Cloud wakes and goes out of the tavern and those 'things' are attacking everyone, I legit though Cloud was having a nightmare. And then as the seconds went on I realized 'Oh wait this is really happening. Yeah I don't know how I feel about that' lol
I think I preferred how the original handled things though. Some of the fight sequences were a bit over the top lol.
Another settlement needs our help. I'll mark it on your map---
Bearing in mind, I haven't finished it, but I did reach the scene you're talking about and I was also quite confused by it. Every scene prior (and thus far, every scene afterward, as well) had established those apparitions as things that only Cloud and Aerith could see and feel. I presumed that was because Aerith is a Cetra and Cloud is infused with Mako energy, but I guess that's not really the case?
The original FFVII is one of my favorite games, so I went in knowing fully well that the Remake wouldn't live up to those expectations. But I'm worried that those phantom... things... will serve to overcomplicate a plot that I've already seen a fair few people lampoon for being convoluted.
Still a fun game, though. I enjoy the combat, even if I must bemoan the change in format. And the music and graphics are also lovely, even if I feel the original used them in a more clever way. Solid game, just some narrative decisions that are leaving me puzzled.
Yeah I like to think like you said it's like a retelling or alternate universe sort of thing. Because of this conversation I looked it up and apparently part 2 is coming out sometime this year? I actually thought it got stuck in development hell with how long it was taking.
The new additions to the story were strange, but I have to admit the chemistry between the characters and voice acting were really top notch.
I do enjoy the character interactions for the most part, and I'm glad they seem to have fixed a lot of the issues I've had with Aerith in much of the auxiliary media surrounding FFVII, which tends to paint her as something of a pure, angelic figure despite that not really being in line with how she behaves in the original.
Assuming the second part does manage to get released this year, we can only hope that Square Enix is more adept at counting to three than Valve is.
