Nominations Clarification Post #3

[mod63]

• Daredevil (TV), The Defenders (TV): These were nominated separately, but appear to be part of a shared continuity with significant character overlap. Is there a preferred umbrella fandom tag?
• Final Fantasy VII Remake: We already approved Compilation of Final Fantasy VII as nominated, but are now unclear on what is contained under that heading, as there seem to be differences between the original canon and the remake canon of FFVII but the remake is considered part of the compilation? Nominators of either or both of these fandoms, can you help resolve this?
• Scarecrow & Mrs. King: Original characters are not permitted in this exchange. If more specific characters are not selected, mod will approve the nominated OC ships as "F!Lee Stetson & None."

Tolkien bookverse nominations (Lord of the Rings, Silmarillion, Hobbit) are approved under Tolkien J.R.R. - Works. If any nominations come in for (on the one hand) movieverse or (on the other) non-Arda Tolkien works, they will be approved separately.

From previous posts:

• Batman - All Media Types: Please choose a more specific fandom. If not, mod will approve as DCU Comics.
• Peter Pan & Related Fandoms: Please choose a more specific fandom. If not, mod will approve as Peter Pan - J.M. Barrie.
• DC's Arrowverse (F!Oliver Queen/Any): Please choose a more specific character. If not, mod will approve ships with Any as "Character & None."
• DCU (Comics) (F!Roy Harper/Any): Please choose a more specific character. If not, mod will approve ships with Any as "Character & None."
• Dragon Age (Video Games) (F!Warden/F!Alistair): Please choose a more specific character. If not, mod will approve "F!Warden" as "Female Cousland."
• Voltron: Legendary Defender (F!Keith/any Shiro clone, F!Shiro/any Shiro clone): Please choose more specific characters. If not, mod will approve the nominated "any clone" ships as Kuron.
• The Witcher (TV) (F!Jaskier/OFC, F!Jaskier/OMC): Please choose more specific characters. If not, mod will approve the nominated OC ships as "F!Jaskier & None."

Thanks everyone for your help so far!

Final Fantasy VII Remake & Compilation of Final Fantasy VII

[sirvalkyrie]

So it's complicated and not entirely clear how connected/separate Final Fantasy VII Remake and Compilation of Final Fantasy VII are. The creators have at different times said that they are connected and aren't connected. The in game evidence is inclusive.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is a very much expanded retelling of the Midgar portion of the original Final Fantasy VII. However, there are significant changes and additions made to it. Some characters appear sooner than before. Characters that were in other parts of the Compilation but not the base game were added to Midgar. People live longer than they did in the original. Some characters are alive that were dead at this point. Two of the characters seem to have knowledge of what happened in the original game and know stuff that they shouldn't this early in the story, but it's not conclusive.

They also have added these ghost like creatures that when the characters try to divert from the events of the game too far force the characters to take the game route. The climax of Final Fantasy VII Remake is defeating these beings to free the characters from the previous fates.

I'm a The Defenders nominator, and that is common as the universe umbrella tag. If using separate shows my nominations are more properly Iron Fist. (Marvel Netflix, Marvel TV, and variants thereof might also be suggested, but they're not workable in a nomination context because they'll be converted to MCU by AO3, potentially locking people out of their nominations page if MCU is also nominated.)
