It’s Gene Tierney or Rita Hayworth for me

I feel they would probably ban the latter two but keep gambling, but I was wondering if there was any precedent to this considering New Reno is under their control.

(Above is the link to fallow along with my theory crafting)
About a month prior to the launch of "Beast of the East" which added Texas, Oklahoma, and finally northern Colorado. In additon it added more lore and interest to the legion as well as flavor for the Navajo tribe which I just recently played (Highly recommended, though, don't go for Asymmetric warfare's guerilla tree (which I did), do the decimation one or even conventional if you wanna be spicy. You'll want the defense).
I decided, after creating the home of the Navajo, I should indeed look to other nations to be added, as well as what those nations could possibly be. So, lets check out the update tree:
Update 4.0: Tandi's Legacy
Named after the effective founder of the NCR, this is set to be an update primarily dealing with Fallout 1 / Fallout 2's California as well as the canon majors and updated North-Californian /Oregonian tribes in Arroyo and likely the nation's nearby neighbors as shown in fallout 2. Additionally, the NCR is set to have, "New Election & Crisis system", likely hinting at issues the nation was dealing with during and around the time of New Vegas including the issues of the barons shown, kind of already, in a much less drastic form that needs this major update.
The second half however is the brotherhood of steel, which finally is to receive the maximum content as well as create what seems to be a special GUI / decisions about the other brotherhoods throughout the United States. This is in addition to the Brotherhood's home of Lost Hills getting a total redesign and update of its national focus trees which will likely add much more content for the Brotherhood's homeland. San Fran as well is likely to get an update, as the ever beloved Shi are too getting a new fancy focus tree in addition to their new portrait they where given in the previous update.
Finally, was the, at least confusing to me, addition of: "Explore crime and Commerce within the Big circle", which seems to be implying that their is going to be a major update to the city-states of Vegas, Vault City, and New Reno...I assume, involving gambling and crime? Maybe some extra techs only they can get? Or, maybe, even interactions between them.
Things I would want to see, or would be interesting: Note, "An Expansion Through the whole of California", it seems heavily implied especially by the Big circle update that this means more then just those listed there. Some ideas I have are as fallows:

1. An actual Enclave in New Reno, especially after the dev for the Enclave reborn mod is now in the team.
2. The Navada Bandits get some love / national focus trees. These would be the Jackals, the Vipers, Kronos' clique on Area 51, and probably the Yakuza territories since their boss is also into the mainline mod.
3. Other Oregon tribes, particularly the Rib breakers for instance.

​
Update 5.0: End of Civilisation (which is either a spelt wrong version of Civilization or is a place that they are adding?)
This, is the Montana and northern map update of your dreams, one which deals in a lot of Steam and religious doctrine. First off, major reworks all around, from Heaven's Gate, to Old Country, and the Bonedancers. As well as totally new National focus trees for Timberline, and the Littlefoot tribe.
Next is some, more interesting lore tid bits relating to the 'best ending for the Great Khans' a migration to the region pushed by the powers at be in Vegas. This is story of journeys in continued in the apparent unique flavor Old Country, a nation of ghouls from Vault 100, maybe journeys into what was once USA occupied Canada?
New arrivals would be the Montana Brotherhood, and more Native American Flavor in the Inuit tribe / nation. Finally is this mysteriously named: CPF, which I have money betting on it being a police force trying to put order back into the region, but I don't know if that is correct since CPF could mean a lot of different things.
Things I would like to see:

1. If the update is a total expansion to the Northwest, does that mean there is going to be national focus trees for the minor religious nations South of Heaven's gate? Murtagh for example, would it be given a focus tree?
2. The Art above is, very odd, even for Fallout standards, Most likely its supposed to represent a Ghoul host likely under the Old Country. BUT, if I might speculate, their color reminds me a lot of the Scorched from Fallout 76. It would be odd to see them in Montana but they would be a interesting nation for sure given the Scorch's lore is, very weird and spooky even by Fallout standards.

​
Update 6.0 A New Tide
OH SWEET MOMA, is this going to get all of the Caribbean?! It seems so given its highlights INCLUDE all the major islands (Cuba, Bahamas, Haiti) but the more here could be both hyping, and misleading depending on the context.
For example it could be that the entirety of update is just the island nations listed and as well as some flavor regions around them. But besides that, the hype can come from that of the major added feature, "Witness a Mighty Bastion of the Old World", unless they are taking from their new lore which they will have to add since the Caribbean's have never been even mentioned in lore as far as I can remember. BUT, it could mean in addition to Caribbean, and the mention of Crocodile Mutants make me think one thing.
Florida, a region that was explored only in a mod for Fallout 4, and has been an interesting thought for regions since fallout 4's completion years ago. Though, I wouldn't hold your breath, because Florida is likely to be a very complex place especially in its proximity to the Eastern Brotherhood.
Other then that, Its mainly a touchup nation, for what is likely the northern Bandit wall in the far south, as well as a possibility of The Housten Rockets getting a naval ambition? Again, this is where we have little to go off of.
Things? : Simply put, this is where I am stopping this post, if interest is high for more discusion, upvote this massive essay and walkthrough. Thank you all for you time and reading!

I'm from Reno, born and raised. Moved away about 10 years ago, but always think about it and I visit almost yearly.
I know a lot of people like the new look of Reno, and it being more "cultured or trendy" like Portland, Denver, or the bay. But I feel like everyone is taking away the actual charm and uniqueness of Reno. Reno to me has always been the weird culmination of glitz, glam, little Vegas crap and then cool outdoors, Tahoe, awesome shows on the way to the bay, artistic. Now it feels like when I go to any other bigger city and see their "sodasopa". (And I'm obviously referring to midtown, which I still laugh when I hear it because it sounds so un-reno imo).
I know Reno was and has been a depressing shithole in some aspects, but that's where the uniqueness comes out. I just really hope they don't get rid of all the 24/7 diners, cheap ugly casinos, and the actual character of the city. I understand some improvements, but it will just be Sacramento 2 if you get rid of all the character. And screw that.
I educate people all the time on Reno, because most think of Reno 911. And tell them, it's nothing like Vegas because it doesn't want to be. It's a unique combo of beautiful mountains, art in line with the bay, and old gambling. Which makes it a treasure I hope we never lose.
Sorry for the rant lol. But I am genuinely curious what you all want Reno to be.
Edit: I just always hoped Reno would be viewed and turned into the west coast equivalent of New Orleans to an extent. That is a sketchy dirty place that has its charm, which I feel Reno at least used to have.

What's that bro? You're seriously making another Yockey post? Yes, fuck off.
One of the strangest things about Yockey looking through his files, about tied with his bizare popularity amongst women, was his Jewish friend of about a year before his death: Alexander Benjamin Scharf, who was in many ways as enigmatic as Yockey was. The bulk of the following information was gleamed from Kerry Bolton's Yockey: A Fascist Odyssey and from the FBI files*.*
Background
First things first, it's highly likely his name was not Alexander Benjamin Scharf, but infact; Benjamin Junger. Exactly why he changed his name is unclear, possibly maybe because his new name was less obviously Jewish and so he would encounter less anti-Semitism? Either that or he was involved in shady shit and having multiple names would help him avoid pursuers, this seems more likely as Junger had a history of, like Yockey, employing multiple aliases, including: Britt Phillips, David Chappelle and Benjamin Younger. But any guess is as good as mine. Born in Czechoslovakia on December 12 1923, Junger and his family settled in Argentina when he was 9 and later moved with his mother to Paraguay at the age of 15. He later attended Columbia University, which he was later found to have not graduated from, as well as various Jewish theological schools.
Personality
Described by his ex as having a "Deep feeling for Orthodox Jewry", Junger was a "Very serious and Very sad" man who was "distant" with people and was very hard to get to know, yet he was "a decent man" despite being "scared as a rabbit", he "would never become friendly with a person unless he was sure he could trust them". Which makes it all the stranger that Yockey, a man widely described as obnoxious, arrogant and irritating, was one of the few able to make a connection with him; although this may have been one of the rare occassions where Yockey felt compelled to bring his charm out but who knows why Yockey took a shine to him in particular.
One part of Junger's person that I find deplorable is that he often presented himself, to the media and others, as a survivor of Auchwitz. However, by all accounts he probably faked his status as a holocaust survivor as he hadn't been in Europe since his family moved to the Americas apart from a brief stint in Paris. As a Jew, I peronally find this absolutely discraceful, but I think he may have had mental problems in any case and seems to have later convinced himself that he indeed was a survivor of the death camps.
Junger and Yockey
While visiting Reno to see his girlfriend, he made some poor decicions, as we all do after a few too many, and was left penniless after gambling away all his money. Luckily for Ben, after meeting Yockey at the same casino and he was given $20 by him to make his way home to Oakland. This occurred about a year before Yockey's arrest.
The exact nature of the relationship between the two is not known. They were not incredibly close, they only saw each other ocassionally, but Yockey was not a man prone to friendships anyway and he liked Ben enough that not only had he loaned him an amount that today is worth $175 in order to get home, but he ignored, or tolerated, his Jewishness. That one of his only friends was Jewish is very confusing to me. Considering their simmilarities; both were paranoid enough to employ aliases, both had a sense of wanderlust and both had families they had fallen out with, I think they probably saw each other as kindred spirits, despite their obvious differences; a faily devout Jew and a rabid anti-Semite. Although it must be noted that, apparently, Yockey liked to wind Junger up by mentioning that he considered himself a "Pagan" whilst quoting from the Old Testament. Junger never told any of his friends about Yockey.
Junger claimed that he was "naive in thinking Yockey was his friend" as he belives Yockey meerly wanted him to set up a business for him to use as a front. I think this is just him trying to distance himself from someone now outed as a Neo-Fascist. This also goes against information provided by Junger in the FBI files, where he refers to Yockey as a "true and faithful friend". I also do not know why Yockey could not have simply chosen someone else, especially someone more reliable, to use as a front. It also seems that Yockey often loaned Junger money.
Junger tapes
I just want to quickly mention that Bolton found out that one Professor Alexander Scharf of Lexington published a VHS tape on his "experiences" in the camps in 1990 named The Holocaust: When God looked down and wept. This person and Yockey's friend Benjamin Junger are likely one and the same. If anyone is interested in pursuing these tapes there are a few known copies that are freely given by libraries, known copies are in in MA, NH, NJ, Oh, IL and TN, so I, as a Brit, unfortunately cannot pursue them myself:https://www.worldcat.org/title/holocaust-when-god-looked-down-and-wept/oclc/25344561?referer=di&ht=edition
Extra: After reading through the files I found that when Yockey slammed the door on the arresting agent's hand and caused it to bleed he said genuinely "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

It’s Gene Tierney or Joan Fontaine for me

i'm trying to make a career criminal / lawbreaker build. which basically is that the criminal will do whatever crime if given opportunity and profit, and will generally be doing whatever thats illegal as a way to hustle and make an extra living, for example, theft, hired muscle, robbery, burglary, intimidation and basically everyway to make money illegaly.
backstory
as a young child the criminal always found ways to make money illegaly. growing up in new reno, he always saw the mobsters and dealers walk away with quick cash and flash with their new outifts, girls etc. but then looked across the street to see farmers, shopkeepers, laborers and people making an honest living just barely scraping by. the criminal started off just with petty theft. but then as he started getting older he was doing robberies, burglaries, intimidating debt-takers, assisting other criminals in exchange for money and "services" at the casino and selling chems. he eventually had to leave new reno when he was at a casino gambling and the dealer accused him of cheating. the criminal lashed out and attack the dealer, breaking bones and throwing chairs. due to his relations, the family didn't kill him but told him to go and never come back. thus, leaving all his wealth, family and reputation behind.
tag skills i've thought of are barter, sneak, lockpick, speech and guns/meleeweapons
traits i've thought of are, hot-blooded, since he's short tempered as he attacked the dealer, and heavy handed. since he sometimes had to squeeze out money from people and teach other a "lesson".
i'm just having some trouble with the special stats and what ending to do and what companions to tag along with, aswell geaweapons.

I'm torn between the Bishops and the Wrights. While the Wright ending turns New Reno into a normal town full of respectable people, it's left very ambiguous towards their status within the NCR, as if they are a member or not. I am a staunch NCR supporter and generally think every township should join the NCR of their own volition. I DO NOT support their less than admirable methods of convincing some townships to join their cause. That leads me towards the Bishops: I personally am in favour of legal prostitution and gambling so I find it admirable that the Bishops would defend this. However, the methods they use to achieve membership, mainly hiring raiders and assassinations gives me reason for pause. If you are or were siding with the NCR, as I am, but also wish to retain a semblance of morality, would you side with the Bishops and have New Reno definitively join the NCR, or side with the Wrights and leave it ambiguous regarding their membership. I think it is likely that post-Wright victory the NCR would allow New Reno to join as it is now free of the sin that makes it undesirable to so many, so it is likely they wouldn't fight regarding allowing New Reno to join and would probably even try it to join, so in my headcanon I could simply choose that New Reno joins NCR in the Wright ending. Anyway sorry for the long rant but it's also your fault for reading this far, anyway any comments on this would be very much appreciated!

Meta overview:

Horse Race Academy's horse racing courses have already been taught for a month, with some twists and turns in between. Student Kael'thas Druid was required to take a drug test because his horse speed was too high. The result was that it was all stimulants without a drop of urine, and he was finally expelled by the principal. Student Reno Priest always like to sneak around, intentionally exposing the legs of the horses of other students. In the end, the principal discovered it and only notified him of the criticism, but this student still continued to do the same, only in a slightly more restrained manner. The principal's illegitimate child Darkglare Warlock had, among his classmates, the most reliably high average horse speed and the best grades. Though he was accused by everyone of favoritism, he still lived comfortably off. The school publicly declared: we consider this to be normal.
According to recent statements from game designer Iksar (translator's note: I think this is the reference. Iksar tweeting that he is "Really happy with Scholomance so far. Both in terms of metagame and the magical fantasy vibe), the designers are very pleased with the meta. The author predicts that there will not be a major patch in the near future. Perhaps the illegitimate child Darkglare Warlock will dominate for another half of the expansion, which is good news for Darkglare Warlock, but a major catastrophe for Wild format. Darkglare dominates; ten thousand horses stand mutely.
The last meta report could only reflect the meta conditions at the start of the expansion, as Darkglare Warlock continued its refinement, first discarding the discard package. Afterwards, it also gradually transformed from the zoo line of thinking at the start of the expansion to a pure midrange super development line of thinking. It ran Hooked Reaver, Pen Flinger, Defile, and Mortal Coil, while omitting Flame Imp. Following, the additions of Cult Neophyte to strengthen the deck when it goes off and Animated Broomstick to help flip the board, the omission of Hooked Reaver, and the addition of Sense Demons to improve the chances of drawing (Darkglare), became widely adopted. Darkglare Warlock is really too strong. The turns it can go off, the chances of it going off, and the strength of it going off are all too ridiculous. Traditional horse race decks usually rely on two or more combo cards and go off on turns 4-5. But Darkglare Warlock only needs one copy of Darkglare to go off, with even Sense Demons to tutor it. On the turn it goes off, Darkglare is a card that only costs 3 mana, so the deck can go off on turn 4 if going first, or turn 3 if going second (this excludes extreme cases), and once it goes off, it can usually play 1-2 giants, and even Loatheb or Cult Neophyte to limit the opponent. No matter if it is aggro or control, it is not easy to counter Darkglare Warlock. Looking back on the meta of the last month's new expansion is a history of the evolution of Darkglare Warlock. It is reflected not only in the evolution of Darkglare Warlock itself, as other decks evolve alongside it. Yet the decks that cannot adapt to the Darkglare dynasty can only pitilessly die out. Darkglare Warlock's one weakness is that its life total is at risk. Thus, Kingsbane Rogue and Odd Rogue even choose to run two copies of Sinister Strike. But to take advantage of this weakness, quick board flood and explosive direct damage must be carried out synchronously, or else the initiative of life total control will rest on the side of Darkglare Warlock. Being unable to deal 10 damage after turn 4 without a board is difficult. Thus, even for Secret Mage, if they have low tempo in the early turns, they will still struggle to contend against Darkglare Warlock. Secret Mage needs enough robust tempo and disruption early on to have a chance. There are few decks that can both build a board and have high explosiveness. Maybe only Kingsbane Rogue can do that, but for this reason, it still must pay the price of Sinister Strike and Eviscerate clogging its hand. Otherwise, there is an opportunity for life if Darkglare Warlock's board can be cleared in a timely fashion. Thus, Reno Priest must run cards like Shadow Word: Ruin to contend, and Odd and Dead Man's Hand Warrior, because of their plentiful removal, are still favored against Darkglare Warlock. Galakrond Warrior even runs Brawl. Another tech is Nerub'ar Weblord to limit Darkglare Warlock's super development, but Nerub'ar Weblord will often slow down one's own aggression. Moreover, Darkglare Warlock can easily clear Nerub'ar Weblord with Spirit Bomb, so its tech effect is not ideal. In short, whether or not it is possible to contend against Darkglare Warlock has already become the greatest test of the meta, but in reality, the ways to target Darkglare Warlock are few, and requires a great tradeoff in deck construction. In a meta so inundated by Darkglare Warlock, the types of decks popular on ladder have significantly decreased, for instance, Quest-type Mage. Only Reno Priest, Kingsbane and Odd Rogue, and Warrior are still popular. Other decks have basically vanished. Reno Priest is the only deck whose popularity in the meta can share the limelight with that of Darkglare Warlock. Reno Priest's popularity has also definitely changed the meta trends: for example, it has caused the decline of the new expansion's Even Shaman; theoretical horse king Big Shaman cannot adapt to the meta at all. Odd and Kingsbane Rogue both have things they are good at and can still share a piece of the pie, defining part of the meta and causing ooze to be popular, but the popularity of these decks cannot be mentioned in the same breath Darkglare Warlock. Dead Man's Hand Warrior mainly benefits from Darkglare Warlock's strength, but it has the shortcomings of being overly reliant on combos and having individual cards of low effect. The deck is definitely strong but unreliable. Odd Warrior, with more effective individual cards and more ideal counter effect, might be a better choice. Aside from the above decks, there are no other popular decks in the meta. Thus, the meta is strategically monotonous. Ten thousand horses standing mutely, miserably; the current meta impatiently needs a hand from the heavens to break the impasse.
 

Mainstream decks:

1, Darkglare Warlock

In the previous month, Darkglare Warlock underwent many stages of refinement. More than necessary won't be said; compared to the many historical horse race decks, Darkglare Warlock has achieved high probability, high speed, and high strength. On the probability of it going off, one copy of Darkglare is enough, far exceeding combo decks that needed 2 or more cards. Only Naga Giants Warlock can be placed on par in terms of probability of it going off. In terms of speed, going off on turns 3-4 is faster than Naga Giants Warlock, SN1P-SN4P Warlock, and way faster than combo decks that needed Juicy Psychmelon. In terms of the strength of it going off, Darkglare Warlock can build a board and drop Loatheb in the same turn, having more decisive strength than past Naga Giants or SN1P-SN4P Warlock. Darkglare Warlock's strength suppresses the diversity of the whole meta. Letting all decks have the ability to contend with Darkglare Warlock is unrealistic. Those who cannot, or must a pay a high price to contend with Darkglare Warlock become non-mainstream decks. Decks that can, through small deckbuilding sacrifices, contend with Darkglare Warlock, become mainstream meta decks. On the issue of deck construction, current mainstream Darkglare Warlock builds are diverse. The most popular builds run Sense Demons but not Hooked Reaver, the discard package, or Flame Imp. Defile is trending towards not being run, with many people replacing it with Rain of Fire. As for Cult Neophyte, Pen Flinger, and Animated Broomstick, these have become essential cards. Some people run Soulfire or Power Overwhelming to increase explosiveness, and some run Shadowflame for the mirror. On the whole, the Sense Demons package has become the most popular. Regarding how to play the deck, the turns to go off with Darkglare require much practice. When to go off and how to sequence cards require in-game experience. The addition of Pen Flinger makes Darkglare Warlock's calculations more complicated and lengthens the animation time. Since turn times are tight, occasional misplays cannot be avoided. More practice can minimize mana and board space mistakes to the greatest possible extent. In the mirror, the race is on to create something unanswerable. Though there are different types of tech cards such as Animated Broomstick and Shadowflame to counterattack, Shadowflame is limited by Cult Neophyte and Animated Broomstick can only make equal trades. Even if you have a way to counterattack, not taking the initiative runs the risk of being suppressed by Cult Neophyte. It must be noted that when the opponent plays Cult Neophyte without going off with Darkglare, they most likely have Darkglare and Raise Dead. Try to prevent them from trading off the Cult Neophyte. Against Reno Priest, giants don't necessarily need to wait for Loatheb to be played. Pay attention to the opponent's mana. If they can't play Mass Hysteria, then it is completely fine to drop the giants with Darkglare. In later turns, Cult Neophyte can be used to reduce their mana by one, forcing them to play Wave of Apathy before you play Loatheb to find lethal. Against Kingsbane Rogue, Molten Giants are key. Whether or not Kingsbane Rogue has Parachute Brigand and Kingsbane to accelerate their tempo is the dividing line between victory and defeat. If Kingsbane Rogue doesn't have strong early tempo, then it's not enough to defeat Darkglare Warlock. Early on, reduce their board damage to prevent the life total from being too low when going off with Darkglare. Vulgar Homunculus must be rationally used to limit Kingsbane Rogue's single-turn burst.

2, Reno Priest

After the additions of Lorekeeper Polkelt and Wave of Apathy strengthened the deck, Reno Priest's meta popularity rivals that of Darkglare Warlock. Lorekeeper Polkelt has become the deck's highest winrate card if kept in the opening hand. But, the deck's suppression of the meta is not as excessive as that of Darkglare Warlock. At most, the popularity of Reno Priest was the last straw for Even and Big Shaman, while not causing too many decks to die out. In reality, Reno Priest also has some drawbacks: fears the opponent disrupting highlander, bombs and Beneath the Grounds can both strike a mortal blow against it, Kingsbane Rogue can't be defeated without Gluttonous Ooze or Kobold Stickyfinger, it lacks board initiative, Grizzled Wizard + Sir Finley Mrrgglton can immediately wreck Reno Priest. For deckbuilding, Reno Priest is very flexible. Currently, the quick draw build is mainstream, with foreign servers even choosing to play Dead Ringer, while the China server tries to gain value while drawing quickly, and could consider running Madame Lazul or other cards. Since Darkglare Warlock now runs rampant, Shadow Word: Ruin is run.

3, Kingsbane Rogue

Though Kingsbane Rogue appears to be a tier 1 deck, and its popularity is not low, likely one half of Kingsbane Rogues can't achieve tier 1 strength. Some of them are dead at the start of the game, but are only buried on turn 5; they lived like a dog; I am sorry -- Kobold Stickyfinger. Kingsbane Rogue always was bothered by Ooze and even Kobold Stickyfinger. Maybe Ooze can be resisted, but Kobold Stickyfinger can win against Kingsbane Rogue on its own. Without the complications of Ooze, then Kingsbane Rogue might be the strongest deck. As for deckbuilding, to more effectively inhibit Darkglare Warlock, the majority of builds run double Sinister Strike, benefiting from the deck's strong draw, letting Sinister Strike not be such a tempo loss. Here it is not recommended to run the foreign server build that lacks Parachute Brigand and Ship's Cannon. Without those two cards, Kingsbane Rogue' early tempo is insufficient, and it is harder to beat a Darkglare Warlock that draws well. There is even the chance of being limited by Dead Man's Hand Warrior's Bulwark of Azzinoth.

4, Odd Warrior

After a series of refinements, Odd Warrior's performance shines. Against Darkglare Warlock, Odd Warrior is even more favored than Dead Man's Hand Warrior. Against Kingsbane and Odd Rogue, Odd Warrior's advantage is not small. Against Reno Priest, Mischief Maker limits Lorekeeper Polkelt. Odd Warrior is stably trending up, but its matchup against Reno Priest depends on their thickness. Once Reno Priest plays Brann + Zephrys + Zola, then Odd Warrior is less likely to win. Since Darkglare Warlock currently suppresses the majority of other lategame decks, Odd Warrior has currently become very strong, second only to Darkglare Warlock. But its ease of being targeted by 0-100 matchups is still a great problem for Odd Warrior: I choose death! Deckbuilding: Odd Warrior needs to adjust depending on the meta. Currently, Ancharrr, Kobold Stickyfinger, and two copies of Mischief Maker are recommended. Make the most suitable choices for the meta. If not targeting Kingsbane Rogue, the Ancharrr package can be omitted. Mischief Maker is currently very popular; including it is highly recommended. If OTK decks appear, Death Lord can be considered. As for matchups, Odd Warrior is easy to play. The one matchup to note is against Reno Priest, with a chance of winning or losing an ambiguous matchup. Keep enough removal to clear their minions and don't play too many of your own to play around AOE. Just ensure you have enough to clear the opposing board. Brann should be kept for Coldlight Oracle to reduce the number of turns and prevent Reno Priest from having enough turns to kill Odd Warrior. Mischief Maker can not only steal the Death Knight, in the endgame, it can also be used to to gain two points of fatigue advantage.

5, Odd Rogue

Odd Rogue is very reliable, its tempo very coherent. It has seemingly returned to the level it was in the Year of the Raven, but the problem is the current ridiculousness of the meta. Darkglare Warlock's ridiculous super development ability is the killer of Odd Rogue. Though it is now popular for Odd Rogue to run two copies of Shadow Strike, it is not enough to contend against a Darkglare Warlock that goes off on 4 mana. But if Darkglare Warlock can't go off with Darkglare on 4 mana, then the balance of the matchup tilts toward Odd Rogue. Yet in other matchups, Odd Rogue performs very well. Beneath the Grounds precisely inhibits Reno Priest. The matchup against Kingsbane Rogue is slightly unfavored but playable. Since Oozes have usually been replaced with Kobold Stickyfinger, Kingsbane Rogue is not suppressed by Ooze. Regarding deck construction, the Magic Carpet and Corridor Creeper package have gradually been replaced with direct damage and weapon buffs, to better adapt to the Darkglare Warlock meta.

6, Dead Man's Hand Warrior

Dead Man's Hand Warrior hitting rank 1 Legend incited a storm, but from its strength, it cannot compete with other decks. Maybe many people will disenchant the deck with its difficulty of piloting as the excuse, but in reality, Dead Man's Hand Warrior has not achieved sufficient strength. In targeting Darkglare Warlock, Odd Warrior is more outstanding than Dead Man's Hand Warrior. Against Reno Priest, Dead Man's Hand Warrior struggles to pile up enough armor. When Reno Priest plays Lorekeeper Polkelt, that seemingly signals that the game is won for Reno Priest. Dead Man's Hand Warrior's problem is mainly that it is still too reliant on combos and its individual cards are of limited effect. Though the deck is much stronger this expansion than in the past, in reality, against Reno Priest, Kingsbane Rogue, and Odd Rogue, it is still unfavored. Now there are few slow decks like N'Zoth Reno Mage or combo decks, Dead Man's Hand Warrior is a more ideal choice to target the meta.

7, Aggro Druid

Though Aggro Druid doesn't have explosive direct damage, its board expands quickly. The deck can contend against Darkglare Warlock in a meta where fewer of them are running Defile. In the meta at the start of the month, Aggro Druid has a definite appearance rate, but practically, the deck possibly should be considered non-mainstream. If at some time Darkglare Warlock popularly begins to run Defile, then Aggro Druid will be unsuited for the meta. Unlike past builds, the current build runs more spells to activate Gibberer, but this will lower the effectiveness of Embiggen. In short, from head to tail, Aggro Druid exemplifies one word: horse!

Aggro Druid

8, Galakrond Warrior

Among mainstream decks, Galakrond Warrior's popularity is not high, but compared to non-mainstream decks, Galakrond Warrior's appearance rate is not bad. Running Brawl and Lord Barov, the deck has at least a fighting chance against Darkglare Warlock. Against Reno Priest, the deck has an extremely evident advantage. Against currently mainstream Kingsbane and Odd Rogue, Galakrond Warrior is at a disadvantage, but it still has a chance. In summary, the current Galakrond Warrior still continues the characteristic of "every living thing can fight forcefully". Its high effectiveness in punishing Reno Priest is the deck's greatest advantage.

Other decks:

9, Odd Paladin

Like Aggro Druid, Odd Paladin currently has explosive early board techniques. Going second, it can summon 5 2/2s by turn 2. (Turn 1 Righteous Cause + Coin + Tour Guide + hero power, turn 2 hero power). But early in the expansion, when Darkglare Warlock ran double Defile, Odd Paladin began to collapse. Now, Odd Paladin is disadvantaged against Darkglare Warlock, but it has a chance. And against other decks, Odd Paladin's performance is very good. Even Odd and Dead Man's Hand Warrior, traditionally considered very favored against Odd Paladin, won't work in this expansion. In the post-Defile period, Odd Paladin is seeing a revival.

10, Quest Mage

In a period dominated by Darkglare Warlock, Quest Mage has no fighting strength. Even if it was not the time of Darkglare Warlock, with the extent of the buffs to aggro this expansion, Quest Mage is very troubled.

11, Reno Quest Mage

Reno Quest Mage is better against aggro than Quest Mage, but its horse-countering ability is worse. Only a stronger horse race deck can beat another horse race deck, which Reno Quest Mage clearly is not. If Darkglare Warlock is nerfed, then Reno Quest Mage may make an appearance if it shores up its ability to counter aggro.

12, Even Shaman

Among current mainstream decks, Even Shaman does not have one favored matchup, but nearly all unfavored matchups. If can't even beat Dead Man's Hand Warrior, the deck's decline is unavoidable.

13, Malygos/Togwaggle Druid

Speaking of Malygos Druid, the Kael'thas nerf can be almost disregarded, but the deck still lacks enough fighting strength. In the current meta, Malygos Druid, lacking any way to clear the board, will likely be smacked to death by Darkglare Warlock's giants. Cult Neophyte and Darkglare can limit Malygos Druid's development; Spreading Plague is hard-pressed to put out the fire. Bulwark of Azzinoth is also Malygos Druid's bane, and against Reno Priest, the deck's advantage is not great because of the disruption cards Mindrender Illucia and Dirty Rat. Comparatively, Togwaggle Druid can run Poison Seeds, improving the matchup against Darkglare Warlock, but its disadvantage is still very significant. But the weakness of combo decks to disruption cannot be overlooked.

14, Turtle Mage

Wild also has Turtle Mage, shamelessly casting unlimited Ice Blocks. The damage package has been changed to the more effective Cloud Prince and Metereologist, and the deck has more effective individual cards. However, it is still hard to beat Darkglare Warlock. To resist Darkglare Warlock, Turtle Mage needs at least 10 mana to begin its perpetual motion combo. Darkglare Warlock won't give many turns to a deck that passes its early turns, with Doomsayer + Frost Nova completely unable to suppress Darkglare Warlock. Animated Broomstick, Amethyst Spellstone, and Spirit Bomb plus Pen Flinger can all deal with it. Against Reno Priest, there is only hope that they do not have Mindrender Illucia. If they have Illucia, then Turtle Mage will die for nothing.

15, Big Shaman

Big Shaman still has an inherently high feasibility, but its disadvantage against Reno Priest is glaring, enough to define Big Shaman as unsuited for the meta. Against Darkglare Warlock, it is also harder to deal with Cult Neophyte bricking a key turn. Big Shaman's ceiling can be ranked at number one this expansion, but its probability is low, insufficient to cause a great impact on the strength whole deck; sometimes gambling a little is fine.

16, Jade Druid

Jade Druid can be used to target Reno Priest, Odd Warrior, Dead Man's Hand Warrior, and Odd Rogue. Its disadvantage against Darkglare Warlock is comparatively large, reducing its competitiveness by 50%. Its popularity is not high in the current meta.

17, (Reno) Secret Mage

Though Secret Mage can theoretically target Darkglare Warlock, in practice, it won't do. On one hand, Secret Mage can't expand its board quickly enough, allowing Darkglare Warlock in the early game to coast to turn 4. On the other hand, the damage/cost ratio is not high. There is often only 6 damage, and even that is vulnerable to Loatheb. Also, Secret Mage is also slightly unfavored against Reno Priest. In short, Secret Mage is not recommended to target Darkglare Warlock. As for Reno Secret Mage, its performance is better than pure Secret Mage. Zephrys has the possibility of inhibiting Darkglare Warlock, its card slots are more flexible, and it does better against Reno Priest.

It's finished, all other decks are younger brothers!

Please call me the patch prophet!

(shitposting/throwaway account)
I must start by emphasizing that my analysis is based on my Eastern-European country's example alone, but I'm pretty sure you'll find overlaps with yours. I'll be looking at the following state employed categories of workers in this order: 1. healthcare; 2. legal; 3. education; 4. social; 5. police; 6. bureaucrats; 7. transportation; but first I must talk about these in general.
All of the above categories are in non-profit-oriented sectors, meaning that they are paid by the taxes of citizens and provide services in exchange, so the state at best tries to evade their lossmaking, which potentiality is a burden in the eyes of the neolib/neocon statesmen. However, they make up a significant portion of the workforce, and as such the voting age population, moreover, in my experience at least, the voter-turnout tends to be much higher among their ranks for the obvious reasons that for them a change in their respective ministry's personnel promises significant changes in their fields.
As our first general conclusion: the state employee tends to be more vote-cucked than workers in the private sector, because the latter more easily understands that no matter who's in charge in the parliament, his boss in the firm will remain the same and besides, a lot of them know that it is these very bosses that dictate to or lobby at the ministries, while the state employee remains to have hope because she's promised changes in personnel at the ministerial level, in essence a change of "bosses, policies, directions."
Now the overwhelming evidence so far is that while every fucking party, even the most insignificant one, tends to have at least a few paragraphs about healthcare, transportation, police, etc. reform, when finally in power, do basically jack shit to implement their own programs. You'll also find that state employees are also more inclined to read these political programs for two main reasons: 1. they are at the very least a trained workforce, but among them many hold diplomas, so their literacy level is above the general toiling masses in the private sector; 2. the promise of change in the ministries composition poisons them with "voter's hope."
Second general point. Almost all of the above categories contain non-productive workers, meaning that they do not produce new values, and unlike, say, cashiers in a supermarket ( https://pastebin.com/0k34xvEZ ), they aren't exploited in a strict Marxian sense of the term. The state allocates funds for the operation of 50 hospitals, but there's nobody "above them" who profits off of their work. This, however, does not mean that 1. their working conditions can't be absolutely horrible; 2. that inside these sectors there are no formal hierarchies with widely (and unfairly) differing wages; 3. that there's no further stratification possible at the formally equal levels (!), usually tied to corruption.
Which leads me to the third and final general point. Five out of the seven categories mentioned in my first paragraph offer lucrative potentials for corruption. (Can you guess which five I'm talking about? Of course you can.) This, again, differentiates them from almost all workers in the private sector. The possibility for corruption, i.e. extra-services, illegal or para-legal benefits, favorable client processions or rulings, etc. provided in exchange for a citizen's bribe offers a "second income" to those who are willing to dirty their hands working in these fields. Importantly, this introduces a weird intra-institutional dynamic into these fields, splitting these workers in schematically speaking two main categories: 1. those who take the bribes; 2. those who don't. With this comes the spontaneous creation of two main cliques inside the state employed workforce, the dirty bribe-havers on the one hand, and the loyal (to the official rules, to the "cause") dupes on the other. Which clique is more materially inclined to hold together no matter what and even wage war against the other if threatened? The corrupt one, obviously. It is an interesting and rare dynamic where the informal group inside the formal system itself can become more organized, centralized, militant than the group that follows the formal rules and an idealized cause, and this dynamic reaches its apex when the informal and corrupt group basically appoints all the leaders inside the institution while being disincentivized from changing the formal rules they do not adhere to.
Let's now proceed with the promised categories one by one.
1. Healthcare workers
What kind of people tend to become healthcare workers in the first place? (Yes, I realize that the following goes outside the scope of "class analysis" as promised in my title, but psychological typology and class do tend to intertwine.) Not long ago I successfully snuck myself in to a healthcare university's freshman party held at a pub. After talking to them my impressions was that these future healthcare workers tend to have either a very developed capacity for acquiring lexical knowledge or a very well developed emotional intelligence, a capacity for empathy. Even the most mediocre diagnostician has to have an almost lexical knowledge of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, while most nurses-soon-to-be, my impression was, would treat the most annoying asshole patient with equal care as the most grateful ones. Yet these distinctions are superficial at best, since these two qualities often overlap, and I've recently skimmed books on ethics related to healthcare that basically attest to this point. However there are those among freshmen, who, from day one "knew" that they'll be working in this or that very specialized and typically well paid field. These people typically tend to emigrate to Western European countries for better wages or become corruptible, join the "corrupt clique" as I said above, as soon as the opportunity arises. But my tirade is about the state employed.
On the gender front, the overwhelming majority of nurses, pediatricians, dermatologists, and dentists inside the state sector tend to be women, while the overwhelming majority of surgeons, oncologists, obstetricians (!!), heads of departments, and other highly specialized and better paid, etc. tend to be men in my experience. I'm absolutely sure that the wage differential between men and women inside this field is astonishing and I'm kind of baffled how feminists in my country don't focus on this, instead babbling about much more fashionable radlib nonsense I'd rather spare you from me detailing.
In terms of corruptibility, there are positions which are more keen to practice it. A good example are obstetricians. Little gifts (typically wine, champagne, but more efficaciously few dozen bucks, etc. are snuck into their pockets before (if you are superstitious) or after your child is being delivered (if you are results-oriented, yet still rather superstitious). Or take the case of a single broken leg of your teenage child who is brought to spend at least a week in a crammed room. Just go to the head of the department, bribe them with a few dozen bucks, and he'll get a less crammed room with a cleaner better bed. Does your grandma have aggressively spreading cancer, yet her surgery is postponed for 2 more months now? Hundred bucks and they can reschedule her surgery for this week.
All of the above leads to two phenomena. First, a stratification inside formally equal positions, where one nurse, one surgeon, etc. take bribes and soon roll into the workplace with a Mercedes car, them being the "upper 10%" of the same workplace and position. IIRC like 90% of the bribery going on goes to 10% of the healthcare workers, yet officially they can not be distinguished on legal pay levels. A kind of "healthcare aristocracy" is formed.
What are the barriers to the radicalization to state employed healthcare workers? First of all, moralism, which is the bourgeois ideological parasite that feeds on their emotional intelligence mentioned above. How many times in my country have we talked about nurse (etc.) strikes, yet they know that ultimately this would mean a few dozen sick people dying, so they abhor the idea.
2. Legal workers
First of all what should be established here is the fact that inside this field most try to get out of the state sector ASAP for the simple reasons that the private sector promises way bigger bucks than the state does. Typically those who become judges (employees of the state) are the ones who had very strong PHDs and credentials and then proceeded to climb the ladder, or those in the private sphere who published papers, while most lawyers try to divorce themselves from the state as soon as possible. Let me give you an example. Most law post-grads will spend a few years dealing with cases where the state promises every convict a right to a lawyer. That lawyer will be you. Poor Ass dickhead commits a petty crime and can't afford a private lawyer? The state assigns you, you get 100 Poor Ass Dickheads in a few years, you now have credentials and may petition to join a private firm.
In my experience the field of law is riddled with literal psychopaths, but on a brighter note those who become judges tend to be truthful persons. Now all of this is complicated by the appointing system, wherein the mayor of a town, or the government appoints people to crucial positions, like constitutional judges and so on. So there's a rather specific spread to this. If you are a lumpen and commit your nth thievery you'll get processed at the speed of a product does on an assembly belt. If you are a prole, a petit-bourgeois, you'll get a fair trial. Corruption does not enter at this level. Corruption enters the picture at the level of people with political connections and/or tons and tons of money, and typically when they are rightfully charged. A mafia boss can easily bribe a judge. A person with political connections will easily get through the cracks of law. I think what must be emphasized here is this asymmetry: poor ass folk get instant assrape, the folk in between can get a fair deal, the upper class always win. Naturally these are further complicated if the case actually threatens those in power.
In conclusion, I have a rather mixed view of this profession. On the one hand, i.e. when it matters to those who are in power, they will be always the ruling hands of capital. When it comes to the most vulnerable they'll always rule against. When it comes to cases involving the middle classes, well diploma'd (P.M..C s), and "well adjusted" proles, that doesn't threaten capital, you'll very likely have a fair trial.
For their potential to radicalize them. Tricky question. Every state-employed court is a mixed bag. Say, in a leftist town with a leftist mayor leftist judges tend to hold positions. These people every month see two dozen cases that point to a single or an interconnected societal issue: alcoholism, poverty, cultural misery, etc. and I do believe that these judges could be radicalized. However, the main problem is that they are forbidden by law to join parties and so on. For this reason only they should be labeled "nonexistent" in the eyes of radicals when it comes to spreading the basis of the party in a targeted manner. "Objectively" there are many socially conscious judges, yet they are unreachable.
3. Workers in education
Very weird, this one, at least on the gender front. Take this series: "kindergarten -> elementary school -> middle school -> higher education" and you'll see an inverse relationship between educational levels and women's participation, meaning that at the lower levels you'll see more women, and the higher levels you'll see barely any.
The most crucial thing when talking about teachers from a Marxist perspective, is to acknowledge the fact that these people, disregarding their best intentions, generally tend to perpetuate value systems and preconcieved-dogma on a mass scale. They, after receiving a diploma at certain universities, as time passes, tend to forget more and more about their own passions and interests in certain fields and substitute it with "teaching" the official textbook to the students, at least from the lowest-to-mid level of education. As far as I'm concerned the "teacher" is as much the victim of the education system as the student is, with predictably analogous results on both ends. The education system itself grinds up the teacher's and the student's motivation on the long run. (Maybe the most immune from this is the kindergarten teacher.)
Moreover, as we climb the institutional ladder (kindergarten -> [...] -> university) bourgeois indoctrination enters the picture more and more, especially in the humanities (politology, arts, x-studies, etc.) but in the STEM fields as well, where they receive a singular "key" to life (math, statistics, engineering, IT), all of which are just processes of preparation for the highly specialized fields in the capitalist workplace.
In my country there are quite literal obstacles to radicalizing these personnel. In the range from kindergarten to elementary school the teachers are basically duping themselves, thinking that the cute child retards they are dealing with somehow represent an invariable human nature which leads them to be the experts and uncritical supporters of notions of society's general "human nature" as such, while those teachers ranging from low-to-mid level education, tend to focus on literally beating into kids "the facts," while those ranging from mid-to-high education are often the worst: the middle school / gymnasium teacher lowers his/her previous passion in literature, math, etc. to a hobby which withers away as the years pass and the "follow-the-textbook" attitude becomes more and more tempting, while the higher education assholes are the most dangerous, because they, as professors, convinced themselves that they are participants in a rather important academic discourse, which, ultimately just reproduces the values and attitudes of the current capitalist system.
Let me give you two examples from my country. There's a prominent STEM professor who had a hilarious breakdown when teaching first or second year students which was captured on video and widely spread on youtube. He asked at his first colloquium: what percentage of participants understand derivations, and after merely around 10-20% of the students held up their hands he started a long tirade against the students and their supposed inadequacy, while this is obviously a structural issue. Second example would be one of my philosophy professors who had a 10 minutes breakdown about how none of us have actually read Plato before, which was followed up about his reminiscence of his youth where everybody who got to that point knew that shit (hint: he was referencing socialism, without admitting to himself that the general breakdown of literacy and so on could be attributed to our regime change).
In my experience in effect teachers are the most reactionary force inside a capitalist means of production, the wast majority of whom are conditioned to blame systemic problems as personal one, worse, those "on the top," i.e. academics are even more up their own asses, convincing themselves that "only if these idiots understood my teaching better, we'd be living in a better world..." I have never met a single teacher who could even be slightly considered to be a communist, because they live inside a sheltered field of discourse that will always reinforce the ruling ideology either directly or indirectly.
On the voter and union front we get a very similar picture. These assholes typically tend to vote for the eternal opposition because, as it turns out, no party taking power actually gives them better wages, albeit they always promise, so in my eyes this bloc is eternally captured in an eternal struggle without results.
4. Social workers
I said about healthcare workers that a good chunk of them join that workforce because they have rather high emotional intelligence. I'll say about social workers that a lot of them join the field because a good chunk of them are either religious (typically Christian) or totally high on moralist ideology. My ex-gf became a social worker, one of my best comrades is a christian-communist, okay? Both of them are Christians. What I respect about my soc-worker comrade is the fact that he does not even pretend to delude himself. He is communist enough to admit that structurally or systematically speaking, his org. offering food on a daily basis to the lumpen doesn't change shit.
A social worker deals with extremes on a daily basis. Alcoholic half-rotten bodied schizo hobos on the one hand, which make up like 85% of his clientele, and those very few cases where a workable and semi-talented youngster walks in who just needs a job and a place to stay in.
But these extremes the social worker has to deal with is not restricted to the "nature" of his clientele. At the very least on a subconscious level a social worker know that his or her field shouldn't exist at all, or, just like communism, the movement itself should become redundant when the sources of the problems are dealt with finally.
In terms of the "objective effects" of his job, at least from a Marxist perspective, a social worker halts absolute lumpenization. As such he or she is our ally on a structural level. Marx & Engels spent several dozen passages detailing how the lumpen always chose the side of reaction, while tying "lumpenization" to a generalized "demoralization" of this stratum. So even if the social worker couldn't be radicalized, his work ultimately aligns himself with communist processes: "the less lumpen = the less fuel for reaction."
As for hindrances that could halt their radicalization... Similarly to healthcare workers these people tend to have an affinity for empathy, and so on. Still, there's a crucial difference. While the nurse and doctor deals with you "as a physical body," the social worker will inevitably see you as a social entity. From this fact alone they are more radicalizable than, say, healthcare workers. Yet, if they were to strike, literally nothing would happen, since they work on the lumpen.
5. Police
Hierarchy. There are the grunts, parodied in "Reno 911!". There are the actual higher ups, who tend to be either more intelligent or more employment-year sawwy than the others. The most educated, distinguished, intellectual stratum inside the police were and always be detectives. These people tend to be the intellectuals inside this ragged institution. There are also policemen who teach at police academies. In my country these tend to be the most pessimistic regarding the road our country is taking, because they tend to be collected from the most experienced of the policeforce.
I observed an interesting trend inside the police force in my country. The older one officer may be the more likely he is more nostalgic towards our socialist past, before the regime change. The younger the police officer, the more inclined to be drawn towards the profession for possibilities of sadism. Meanwhile, the older generation officers, who mostly teach now, complain about how the new recruits can barely read or count as such.
(I've discussed this in detail here: https://www.reddit.com/stupidpol/comments/i4g9wq/the_lefts_attitude_towards_the_police_is/ ) In terms of gender composition you'll find that the highest % of women will be at the level of regular grunts, while seriously underrepresented on higher levels.
Remember my "general section" above, and its lines about the formal and informal structures? Well, I'm certain that his state employed sector has the most obvious lines distinguishing the two. I've spoken to a rookie who gave me a confession: he was required to beat up a hobo just to be accepted into his "in-group." Naturally he pretends now that he's sorry about all of that, but really, if an org. has such widespread and "informal" requirements, what's there to be surprised about?
In terms of sex, I'd say roughly 20-30% of the total police force is female, while like 95% of detectives and higher ups are male, lol.
As for corruption, you, as a citizen are basically gambling. Are you being caught for DUI? You have like 33% chance of convincing the officer if you offer enough in cash that you'll go free. (Again, see the parallel with the legal apparatus above.) The most brutal, centralized, militant corruption cliques are inside the police force. These policemen can easily triple their net incomes via accepting bribes and so on.
The main obstacle to radicalizing the police (beyond the rather obvious reasons) is that they are legally forbidden from joining parties or running as candidates in elections. Still, as we know well, the far right in almost all countries have organic relationships with them. As the above cited link suggest, and I will say explicitly here, the left should drop its "ACAB" attitude and try to find persons inside the police who openly sympathize with them for the single reason that being close to power, moreover, getting updates from those close to power, will always be useful. Another way to look at it is this: the secret services will always try to infiltrate your org if you are successful. Well then, why don't you try to infiltrate the executive branch yourself, as a member of a communist org?
6. bureaucrats
Which is a very broad category, including your driver licensing boards, monitors of tax payments, unemployment clerks, and so on. These people have a very high chance of being corrupted. What part of society typically becomes such a bureaucrat? Well, honestly, the most mediocre one(s).
In terms of corruptibility their answer to this question is: "okay, when, where, how much?" But then again I'm talking about the uppermost 10-20% of them. Those under the ladder literally can't afford being as corrupted as them.
Are there tendencies that hinder the bureaucrats becoming class conscious and so on? Yes and no. I think we should look at the 1917 revolution's example, where thousands of ex-Tsarist bureaucrats started to support the Bolsheviks for a single reason: the proved to be the ONLY alternative to utter chaos.
Interestingly, at least for me, in terms of genders and so on, this stratum tends to be the most balanced in my experience, if not female dominated.
As for hindrances in terms of radicalizing them, at least in my country, the picture is thus: lower-level bureaucrats are constantly being fired and hired on the municipal level. You are a fucking 1337 if you manage to hold your job for more than half a year as a mid-level bureaucrat, say, in the institution of tax office. The very few who get the opportunity to advance inside the hierarchy also get the broadening possibility for corruption. I would go as far to say that from mid level onward your chances to succeed towards higher levels effectively hinges on your capacity to corrupt yourself, at certain point which the designated gestapo will notice you and say to you that you are a "trustworthy guy/gal" who should try to join the higher echelons of bureaucratic corruption.
7. transportation
First of all, from a Marxist perspective one should note that some of these workers are actually value-producing when they are transporting commodities from place A to place B, but in my country thanks to neolibs/neocons these railway sections have already been privatized, so...
In terms of gender composition a rather baffling picture emerges. I've been using trains since year 3 of my life up until to now, which would mean like 150-300 travels in total, not counting all those times I've been waiting for trains at train stations, and I can only tell you that like 98% of train conductors are male in my country, not even kidding. For long distance buses these numbers somewhat soften, I'd say that throughout my life I've taken like 50-75 long distance bus rides, out of which like 85% were male bus drives. A radical shift happens in local mass transportation (trams, metros, buses) where like 30% of the drivers are women. I'll leave the conclusions to feminists better trained than I am. As for conductors (you know, assholes who validate your ticket and such) on trains, long range buses, and local transportation I'd say 60% has been male, 40% women.
In terms of their potential to be radicalized, since my country is ex-socialist, I'd say this would be rather promising overall, were it not for the fact that their unions have been overtaken by absolutely reformist/party specific leadership. On the one hand like 90% of them know that under socialism "this shit worked 200% better," while the official union simps for this or that capitalist party.
----
To close. I attempted to give you all a kind of inside look to Eastern-European realities. Realities in a country with which the socialist experiment lives on at the level of actually existing memories. What you take from this is completely up to you. Still, I'd like you to compare your country's experiences to mine, and give us fruitful comparisons. I know for a fact, for example, that my "capitalism fucked up our national railroad system" will resonate with Englishmen, for whom'st the privatization of their railroads proved to be an absolute disaster.
Cheers.

As you've likely already noticed, the FFVII Remake is filled to the brim with small details, references and easter eggs, so as someone who usually hunts down details as a job, I wanted to see how many references I could spot across my multiple playthroughs, so I've been keeping track of all of this in a notepad as I've been playing. This is definitely not all the details, but it should hopefully cover most of them. I hope this can give you more appreciation for all the effort the developers poured into this game.
That said, the definition of a detail/easter egg can vary a lot, so I want to establish some rules:

• Spoilers for all of Part 1 in the Remake. Anything that is in spoilers below refers to spoilers for the original game beyond it. No spoilers will be unmarked
  
• I'm not going to count story foreshadowing, whether it's stuff about the original (Rude purposefully missing Tifa, Barret reacting to Elmyra when she says she's not related by blood to her daughter, etc.) or foreshadowing for some of the new stuff with the ending and new plotlines. That's its own separate deal (only exception is when it's a visual detail)
  
• I'll mention some stuff that references the original or some details that were preserved, but I'm not going to go into every single thing that was carried from the original. This is a remake, duh, bunch of stuff will be the same as the original
  

With that said, let's get started! Here are all the details I could find, classified by chapters:
GENERAL:

• At random, but one of Barret's post-battle quotes can be him humming the FFVII victory theme, which he also does at a couple other points in the game
  
• Posters for LOVELESS, the famous play advertised in the original can be seen all across the game
  
• Advertisements for Stamp, the propaganda-oriented children's show, can be seen across several areas (even before he is relevant or even mentioned)
  
• Advertisements for "Banora White Apple Juice" can be found at some points, a reference to the dumbapples from Crisis Core
  
• A hair tonic advertisement can also be spotted at some points, claiming to offer the perfect radiant and spiky hair, a reference to Cloud often being jokingly referred to follow the trope of "spiky-haired anime swordsmen"
  
• Vending machines for drinks can be found across the game. Some of them feature the Bomb enemy, while others feature "Clear Icicle", a likely reference to the area from the original, Icicle Inn
  
• Benches feature the checkpoint logo for the original, as they sort of act as replacements for the checkpoints. The logo itself represents a large C, standing for Checkpoint and is in fact not a question mark as I had been lied to believe for many years
  
• Walking in opposite directions of where you're told to go will often result in exclusive dialogue, where characters often question Cloud's sense of direction to amusing extents. Each location tends to have at least two or three lines for going in the wrong direction, the amount of unique lines for this is staggering
  
• Cloud's punisher mode has him positioning his sword in the same stance Sephiroth used to wield his Masamune blade during his days as a SOLDIER (seen less predominantly in the future during the events of FFVII). This might be a callback to how Cloud used to idolize Sephiroth as a SOLDIER and wanting to be more like him, subconsciously adopting his battle stance. Similarly, the normal operator mode stance is more like how Zack held his sword
  
• The circlet is likely a reference to the circlet worn by Final Fantasy VIII's Edea (granted, the circlet has been reocurring in many Final Fantasies, but this one's quite similar to Edea's)
  
• The fury ring features the kanji 怒, which stands for, as you might imagine, "fury"
  

CHAPTER 1:

• Just like in the original, defeating the first two Shinra soldiers at the start will cause Cloud to level up to level 7
  
• Barret calls Cloud "Stamp", mocking him for being a loyal doggie to Shinra. This is referencing the character of Stamp. Most players will likely not have met Stamp yet, but those that took enough time to look around their surroundings will have already spotted him in the ads at the train station
  
• Dodging all lasers without being hit will result in unique dialogue from Jessie. Getting hit some times will result in the dialogue most players will see and getting hit multiple times will have Jessie question if Cloud has a self-damaging fetish
  

CHAPTER 2:

• Since Cloud meets Aerith in the same area where the opening of the game takes place, it is possible to go down the same alley Aerith first stared and even spot the broken mako pipe
  
• Going to the opposite end of that alley, you can look through a grate to see the station, where you'll be able to spot the Huntsman, the boss of the chapter you later fight, commanding his troops to catch the terrorists with a unique line
  
• A Shinra troop seems to recognize Cloud in chapter 2 before he leaps on the train. Playing with Japanese voices will however reveal he says "Wait, that sword-", indicating he actually recognized Zack's sword from the time he was a SOLDIER
  
• Kyrie can be met as early as chapter 2, as a passenger on the train. If Cloud approaches her, she'll try to distance herself, perhaps to avoid suspicion given Cloud's appearance as a warrior
  

CHAPTER 3:

• At the start of the chapter Kyrie can be seen again getting off the train. She is later seen spreading rumors among her fellow grounders near Seventh Heaven. The cool thing here is that while Kyrie is technically a character from an FFVII novel, she is actually taking the place of an NPC in Sector 7 in the original who loved to spread rumours, making that NPC a somewhat relevant character now!
  
• Most NPCs from the original are still there, Kyrie as rumor girl, the two recruit guards, the special spot guy, the embracing couple at the station, the station manager, etc. Same applies for a lot of NPCs across the game, like the guy sleeping on the train among many others
  
• You can also spot the Shinra Middle Manager reuniting with his family after you get off the train with some unique dialogue
  
• Random NPC mentions having moved in from Junon
  
• Seventh Heaven features a picture frame showing a screenshot of the original Seventh Heaven from the PS1 game
  
• While the jukebox is a newly added gameplay mechanic in the Remake, an uninteractable jukebox was actually present in the original game in Seventh Heaven, this time being repurposed into the jukebox mechanic
  
• Also, standing next to most jukeboxes in the game will result in the characters dancing/nodding their heads/tapping their feet
  
• The darts rankings will feature a lot of the other Avalanche members mentioned later by Barret in his date scene in Chapter 14, as well as characters like Johnny
  
• Activating the pinball machine elevator will result in the screen showing a 777,777 score (it also features seven Bomb enemies), being a reference to both the number 7 being considered a lucky number in gambling/slot machines as well as the game's title
  
• When entering Tifa's room, you can spot some boots and a purse next to her bed. The boots are actually the same she wore during the Nibelheim incident with her cowboy outfit. It seems this theme might've been extended to the rest of Nibelheim, which in the brief flashback we get at the start seems to show they are reimagining it more as a Wild West-style town, a beautiful new take on this iconic location
  
• If all sidequests are completed, Tifa will ask Cloud what outfit she should wear, being given three options. The first is mature, being the dress from the original game. The third option is "exotic", which has her wearing a traditional Japanese-inspired dress. The second option however may confuse some, as while it's labeled as "sporty", it has her wearing a traditional Chinese dress. However, the original Japanese version actually refers to it as more of a fighting outfit. This means it may likely be a small nod to the iconic Street Fighter character Chun Li. Skipping these side quests and as such this event will default Tifa's outfit to mature, as a reference to it being the only choice in the original game
  

CHAPTER 4:

• The cats around Jessie's house are meant to look like and represent Jessie, Biggs, Wedge and Cloud
  
• Jessie is mentioned having wanted to be an actress, trying to get her big break at the Gold Saucer. She might in fact be referring to the large theater found there and the play that happens during the date in the original, as in her letter she claims she was cast in the role of a princess, the same princess that your date plays as
  
• Jessie's mom making pizza could be an allusion to the plate, the rotten pizza as they call it, dividing her and her daughter
  

CHAPTER 5:

• Once getting off the train, in the original you could walk several screens towards the direction of the screen and reach a special area where you could grind out enemies. In the Remake, it is possible to also run in this opposite direction (away from Barret who needs help), which will result in Tifa questioning why Cloud is running in the wrong direction and what is he looking for (but not stopping him), a nod to players of the original trying to find that easter egg. However, reaching the end of that section will allow the player to actually find a hidden service room, inside of which they can find a set of crates for the chance of a drop, a small reward for curious players trying to find this easter egg

CHAPTER 6:

• There's a section towards the end where you can find summon materia inside one of the vents. Redoing that chapter and redoing that section will obviously not result in summon materia being there, but instead will feature one of the manuscripts, the only one that can be found just laying around the overworld instead of being obtained via special means or just beating bosses on Hard

CHAPTER 7:

• It is possible to completely ignore the ability to nerf the Airbuster by keeping all the keycards and not using them (only the first is obligatory for story reasons, but it does not nerf the Airbuster in any way), resulting in a far more challenging boss fight that makes for a great self-imposed challenge on Hard, where the Airbuster will spam his stun fingers and BBs one after the other. Managing to beat him will result in you being able to keep the keycards in your special inventory past that chapter

CHAPTER 8:

• When first gaining control in the church, walking towards the door allows you to hear Reno from beyond it, in reference to the original
  
• While fighting Reno, Aerith asks to not step on the flowers. If either Cloud or Reno steps on them during the fight, she'll get a little mad. For Reno in particular, she claims "You're gonna catch holy hell!", which is a reference to one of Reno's subordinates telling him that in the original after he steps over the flowers
  
• The barrels thrown in the original can be found in the church attic
  
• After leaving the church, Aerith asks "shall we mosey on?" and Cloud replies with "Let's". Not only is this a reference to the endgame of the original, where Cloud says "Let's mosey" before the final battle with Sephiroth, but this is likely hinting at this Remake establishing that Cloud picked this line up from Aerith and that is why he says it before the game's endgame sequence, to honor her legacy and get back at Sephiroth, which will make the whole ending sequence be even more impactful
  
• More of a mistake than a reference, but the sector 5 area incorrectly uses the Sector 6 skybox (the texture on the sky), resulting in the Sector 6 plate being seen over Sector 5. This is likely because of Sectors 5 and 6 taking place in the same area, but I'm baffled they didn't include a transition for the skybox
  
• One of the NPCs can be seen mentioning Costa del Sol as a recommended honeymoon location. He also brings up the tour of the Shinra building, referring to the very same tour Cloud and the others go through later in the game
  
• A Don Tonberry, Fat Chocobo, a Moogle and a Cactuar can be seen drawn on the blackboard at the Leaf House
  
• Inside the Leaf House, as well as some other locations in the game, a calendar can be seen, which features the year marked as 0007. This is in reference to FFVII taking place on the year 0007 of the calendar used within the game's world
  
• When you go pick out flowers with Aerith, your choices will actually make a difference: picking a mix of all flowers or picking only yellow flowers will result in a Chocobo pattern. Picking only white flowers will result in a Moogle pattern and picking only foxtails will result in a Cactuar pattern
  
• If you put Rude to sleep when fighting him, he mumbles "Reno..." as a voiceline in his sleep
  
• When Rude receives a phone call, his phone plays the fanfare theme. This is likely a reference to one of the three dudes in Advent Children whose name I can't be bothered to recall also having said ringtone
  

CHAPTER 9: (whoo boy, strap in because there's a billion references here)

• Not giving Aerith a high five will result in her insisting Cloud to give her one. After a while she'll complain about losing circulation in her arm
  
• In Evergreen Park, before leaving, Cloud can head into the slide and enter inside, sliding down with his arms up like a little kid. He can also skip across the tires on the ground
  
• While heading to Wall Market, advertisements for the singer Akila can be seen, with the singer himself being found at Drunkard's. The signs have "Midgar Blues" written in Japanese, which is the name of the disk he gives you
  
• Akila is also found written as the donator of the flowers Cloud receives at the colosseum, stated to be the executive chairman of Cloud's fan club. Aerith's flowers instead come from florist Watanabe, the name of a shop (and supposedly a florist) found in the area. Interestingly, while Cloud is addressed as "Cloud-san", Aerith is referred to as "Aerith-sama" out of deep admiration
  
• Easy to miss, but when talking with Johnny before the first match at the colosseum, it is possible to find a bottle on the table, which Johnny claims was offered as something that can provide extra strength. If you drink it, it raises the chances of getting the Sam quests
  
• After defeating each opponent every round at the colosseum, you can find them defeated in the room next to the gate, each with their own unique dialogue (yes, even the robots)
  
• When the gatekeeper asks if you're ready, you can say "no" if you need more time to prepare. The cool detail is that at first he gets angry at you for taking so long, but the more matches you win the nicer he becomes to you, telling you to take your time and not push yourself too hard
  
• Pretty obvious so it may be redundant to mention, but after a victory in the Colosseum or Shinra simulator, each character will do their victory animation from the original game
  
• Lots of unique dialogue at the colosseum: unique dialogue for not leaving the arena after a fight, unique dialogue for using particular summons during specific battles like the Hell House, unique dialogue for dying on the Hell House (announcers mocking you), as well as dialogue changing depending on certain attacks you pull off or fail to pull off
  
• Entering the back alleyway hidden behind the Honey Bee Inn when first entering Wall Market will result in you encountering Miss Folia, the teacher at the Leaf House orphanage, who is revealed to have a night job as a honeygirl
  
• One of the npcs can mention the drink "icicle vodka" from a town in the far north, which is referencing once again the Icicle Inn, a location from the original
  
• An NPC working at one of the places at Wall Market can be seen talking with a woman, asking her not to visit him at work. It turns out this woman is his mom, who came to deliver his lunch box and the man is embarrassed his mom is still treating him like a kid
  
• A certain NPC will tell Cloud that the place he's eating at is full, but will actually invite him if he has crossdressed, showing some questionable double standards
  
• One of the signs at Wall Market indicates a pub/shop called "Therion" in Japanese, likely a reference to one of the main characters of Octopath Traveler. That game was also developed by Square (with some members of the staff like the composer also working on the Remake) and is often considered a bit of a sister game to Final Fantasy with many of its general mechanics and motifs
  
• When first arriving at Don Corneo's residence, Aerith will point out "I think we might've found our man". This is lost to non-Japanese players, as the sign on top of his residence reads the kanji "古 留 根 尾", with each kanji being individually readable as "Co-r-ne-o"
  
• At the restaurant in Wall Market, one of the customers will ask for "more of that Malboro stuff", suggesting the chef puts Malboro contents in his food. I suppose that solves the mystery as to why his food gives everyone such a massive stomach ache...
  
• Choosing the lightning materia at the restaurant during "the party never stops" will result in the lighting of the shop going out, causing the scene to humorously play over a black screen
  
• Jules, Jay and Ronnie at the gym are all based on character models from the original. However, their names are likely based from three famous bodybuilders, being Jules Bacon, Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman
  
• Jules's name in Japanese is written similarly to Andrea's name. The Ultimania reveals that the two are actually siblings
  
• When Madam M begins to dress up Aerith, she says "peek and I'll poke your eyes out", a reference to Aerith asking for no peeking in the original. It is possible to follow after and approach them, but Madam M will scold Cloud before he can even see them
  
• Depending on how many quests you completed in Chapter 5, Aerith will get one of three different dresses, which will result in different reactions from onlookers, as well as different scenes and completely unique remixes of her theme, otherwise not heard anywhere else in the game. Attaining her red dress will result in fireworks exploding in the background, which is likely a reference to the iconic date scene at the Gold Saucer in the original where fireworks are seen in the background, even being referenced in the name of that track, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is called back if the player chooses Aerith as the date in future Remake parts
  
• When first entering the Honey Bee Inn, you can interact with any of the four rooms before taking part in the dances: one will feature Johnny's father (also previously seen across Wall Market, and the other will feature a honeygirl getting prepared (a reference to a room in the original). The other two rooms allow you to look through their peepholes like in the original: one of them features Palmer doing some roleplaying as a bee catcher, while the other features a man getting acupuncture
  
• During the honey bee inn dancing sequences, performing poorly will result in a series of different reactions: the honeygirls will respond awkwardly if Cloud performs badly during practice and Aerith audibly cringes if Cloud screws up the main dance
  
  • However, performing excellently will result in the honey girls praising Cloud (even saying deelicious, a pun on "bee") and Aerith praising Cloud during his dance. Similarly, performing badly will result in the crowd being pretty mild and silent, but performing well will result in the crowd going wild and cheering
  • Performing well will also result in gaining the disk for the "Let the Battles Begin Remake" during practice (requiring a perfect score of 10) and Andrea's earrings in the main dance (requiring a high score, beyond that a perfect score makes no difference). The earrings are purely cosmetic, as it doesn't seem possible not to be chosen by Corneo. Interestingly however, the earrings possess a bee pattern on them
  • Similarly, Andrea's endorsement letter features a bee sigil on it. The envelope is stylish, which clashes with Madam M's endorsement letter, which is done in the style of a traditional Japanese scroll
• During the dance scene with Andrea, some of the dance moves are references: during the final sequence Cloud has to perform two squats and the dance ends with him positioning one hand on the floor and the other to the side, mimicking his position when he gets off the train at the start. Furthermore, during the final dance Cloud spins in place, in reference to the spinning during the Gold Saucer date performance, where all actors move around by spinning
  
• After the honey bee inn scene, it is possible to interact with a massive number of characters as crossdressing Cloud:
  
  • Returning to the honey bee inn, it is possible to spot Palmer, who begs his secretary to adjourn his meetings so he can have more fun in Wall Market. He also reveals he's a regular at Madam M's
  • Talking to the honey bee inn receptionist, he will praise Cloud for his fantastic dance moves
  • Entering inside will allow you to talk with Andrea, who tells Cloud he has already planned to deliver his gear with Leslie
  • Going to the room to the side will allow you to find Johnny's father asleep, but the honey girl next to him asks you not to wake him up
  • The room with the guy getting an acupuncture isn't changed much (though it is mildly different), but the room that previously had Palmer now features a random NPC doing nurse play with a honeygirl. She uses a massive stinger-colored syringe model that is completely unique to this easter egg. Shows you the level of detail that they went out of their way to make a model for such an obscure easter egg
  • If "the party never stops" is completed, you can also talk to the boutique man's father inside the inn
  • Heading back to the massage parlor, if you have done the Madam M side quests (otherwise this is not available), you'll be able to talk to her and Chocobo Sam, with Madam M revealing that she made Cloud's outfit in advance as she was making Aerith's dress too under request by Andrea (which might be where Aerith learned of the plan too), claiming it a favor towards Cloud, who she now sees as a friend. Sam will remark on not understanding the appeal of crossdressing, but Madam M knocks him for being so close-minded
  • On the other hand, if you did Sam's sidequests, heading to the Chocobo ranch you'll be able to talk to him, where he'll reveal he was the one who donated the outfit to Andrea
  • Talking to Jules will result in him saying he came running to see your dancing and offers you to swing by the gym again after you're back in more normal clothes. This conversation will not trigger if you did not do Burning Thighs, for the sake of consistency
  • Talking to Chadley will result in him not recognizing Cloud, but experiencing an "emotional response" at his beauty
  • If you did The Price of Thievery, heading to the entrance of Wall Market will allow you to talk with Mireille
  • The gatekeeper at the colosseum seems to recognize you, but requests that if you want to fight that you do so in your normal outfit, despite how amusing it would otherwise be
  • The weapons shop guy also has some amusing dialogue ("your beauty is deadlier than any weapon in this shop")
  • Easy to miss, but it is possible to talk to Johnny again
  • Many NPCs in general will comment about Cloud's beauty. One amusing conversation in particular revolves around a man in front of the boutique who is always gawking at other girls, with his girlfriend getting increasingly angrier over the several conversations you can trigger until she straight up gets fed of him for being a scumbag
• Outside Corneo's mansion, some packages for him can be seen, including a large cross-shaped iron structure. This is actually the same structure seen in the sex dungeon, likely ordered by Corneo as a replacement or something
  
• After being thrown into the sex dungeon, before heading upstairs, it is possible to approach Aerith or Tifa, who will pose for Cloud and ask how their outfits look as they pose. Aerith will even claim that Cloud is definitely into crossdressing
  
• When gaining control of Aerith in Corneo's mansion, it is possible to return to the room she first went in with Cloud and open an entrance to the sex dungeon, where she'll find an otherwise inaccessible chest. To enter she must step on a plate with the kanji for up and down, which will play a unique stepping animation otherwise never seen anywhere else in the game
  

CHAPTER 11:

• The train graveyard features a chest out of sight that contains one gil inside. The ghosts will mock Cloud for falling for their prank

CHAPTER 13:

• In Chapter 13, Andrea can be talked to in Wall Market, triggering this dialogue: "Did you find what you were looking for?"; "Thanks to you I did"; "Good. Now never let it go again". This could on one hand be interpreted as Cloud having found Tifa in the mansion, as Andrea's help allowed him to infiltrate it, with the "never let it go again" referring to , or could also be interpreted as Cloud finding himself/his own identity more thanks to him. The quote is somewhat reminiscent of "What you pursue will be yours, but you will lose something dear" by Cait Sith in the original, which is later shown to refer to Aerith. Andrea essentially says the opposite, saying "you found what you pursued, now don't ever lose it", so I wonder if there is a bit of a dual meaning with this scene
  
• In Elmyra's flashback, when she receives news of her husband's death, the envelope on the table can be seen featuring a stamp with the Shinra logo on it
  

CHAPTER 14:

• Common knowledge, but depending on your actions in the game, you can attain a special scene in Elmyra's garden with either Aerith, Tifa or even Barret, as a newly re-imagined version of the date mechanics from the original, which allow the player to make the story feel more personal by deciding who Cloud harbors romantic feelings for (with the developers having often stated that there is no "canon" romance option, as that is determined by each and every player's experience)
  
• If the player has not previously interacted with Mireille in previous chapter sidequests, she'll introduce herself for the first time to Cloud, Barret and Tifa in Chapter 14 for the sake of consistency, same with some other npcs
  
• After retrieving Johnny's wallet from Kyrie in Chapter 14, inspecting it in the main menu will show a render of how it actually looks like, revealing the downright horrendous taste Johnny has
  
• Just like in the original, you can go back to Corneo's sex dungeon to free Kotch. This time however he'll actually leave some materia behind as thanks
  
• In chapter 14, you can finally gain access to the Corneo vaults. Closer inspection of the crates will actually show that they sport chibi Corneo as a pattern on each side
  
• Raiding all the vaults will grant access to the Ruby, Emerald and Diamond tiaras. As many have likely noticed, these are in the shape of the three iconic weapon creatures from the original
  

CHAPTER 15:

• The boss of the chapter, the Valkyrie, was originally fought on the elevator sequence (similarly, the Swordipede in Chapter 17 is based on a common enemy, while the Hell House and Eligor from the Train Graveyard were also originally common enemies)
  
• Before entering the area with the boss, there's a scene where the characters stare into the sunset. Staying there for a couple minutes will show that the track that plays there actually has several phases to it and it's a stunning track that was likely unfortunately missed by many players
  

CHAPTER 16:

• At the start of Chapter 16, when heading through the walkway with the massive lights, looking straight into the lights will result in the characters covering their eyes
  
• After entering Shinra headquarters and switching to Tifa, instead of jumping to the platforms, head back and go down back to the garage with her. This will play a unique remix of the original track otherwise not heard anywhere else (aside fro a couple instances in the building where you also go back, such as heading back down the stairs). Insane to think they made a whole track only for going back, give it a listen!
  
• The stairs sequence is completely scripted, as the characters will always rubberband off Cloud and not proceed more than a set number of floors ahead and the speed of Cloud is determined by the floors he's on. Tifa will always end up first and it's only possible to barely beat Barret. However, after the sequence is over, it is possible to go back all the way down (this time not slowing down the player at all) and take the elevator instead (though that will not play that sequence of cutscenes). Going down at random instances also triggers unique dialogue
  
• The memorial museum hides a few details:
  
  • In a picture featuring some of the early employees at Shinra, when it was still a small arms manufacturer, a man can be spotted at the center wearing the mask of Shinra, a character from Final Fantasy X-2. This is a reference to the fact that FFX and FFX-2 are actually considered prequels of FFVII by both Kitase and Nojima, the latter having suggested that this President Shinra is actually the far descendant of Shinra from FFX-2 many years into the future, when the people of Spira became able to travel in space and left their planet to travel to another one, the planet of Gaia, slowly setting the stage for the events in FFVII
  • President Shinra's golden gun can be seen at the exhibition. The same gun model is used by him later in the scene where he threatens Barret
  • An image of mayor Domino shaking hands with President Shinra can be seen, likely the moment when power was handed over to the company. The trophy next to it reads "in special recognition to the Shinra Electric Power Company", with a signature by Domino below it
• Domino and Hart (Hut in the Japanese version), just like in the original, are references to Domino's Pizza and Pizza Hut, referencing the rotten pizza slices that are the Midgar plates
  
• In the stunning virtual sequence showcasing the story of the ancients, we get a glimpse at a recreation of a place they lived at. This architecture strongly resembles that of the capital of the Ancients visited later in the original
  
• In the recreation room, Cloud encounters a former Shinra guard who recognizes him from the old days. He mentions he'll go grab Kunsel, who is a SOLDIER character from Crisis Core that was a friend of Zack
  
• Taking the wrong path in the ventilation shaft will allow you to find a hidden materia, otherwise not seen as it is out of sight
  
• Red XIII can be spotted in the boss fight arena before you leave the area, which will highlight him in a cutscene once you leave
  

CHAPTER 17:

• In Aerith's room it is possible to find several visual details. This includes several lab tests and sheets that have been painted over by Aerith and her mother, a book about Stamp, as well as two sets of slippers, large ones for Ifalna and small ones for Aerith. Boxes of crayons can also be seen next to the drawings on the wall and across the room
  
• Speaking of the drawing, it shows a beautiful rendition of (MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE ORIGINAL ENDING) the Promised Land, with the flow of life showing the cetra, the humans, several animals and even some summons. At the center of it all lies a yellow flower, which the game states at a couple points being a symbol of "reunion". With the flowers obviously symbolizing Aerith herself as well, this reunion symbolism alludes to the ending of FFVII and the true nature of the Promised Land. Similarly, the flower appears to be warding off the meteor with the power of the lifestream, once again a reference to the final scene. This whole drawing depicts the game's ending with beautiful subtlety
  
• A structure that resembles Cosmo Canyon observatory can also be seen in the drawing, so I wonder if Ifalna had somehow been there at some point?
  
• Just like in the original, the 70 floors of the Shinra building are a reference to the number 7, cheekily used across the game in several instances (like sector 7 being where the main characters reside)
  
• The communication machines used in Chapter 17 have PHS written on them, a reference to the PHS communication devices in the original game, used to swap playable characters
  
• During his battle, Rufus tosses some coins up in the air. A close up of them in a shot reveals the writing "Shinra Inc. - A new era - Reign Supreme - Ever forward", symbolizing the new era started by Rufus
  
• When Barret, Aerith and Red are surrounded, Barret says he's willing to sacrifice his life to let her escape. This is a nod to an early scrapped concept of the original FFVII where Barret was considered to sacrifice himself and die a heroic death, which was ultimately scrapped for a far more meaningful one. This is also referenced in the stairs sequence, when Barret begs to be given a last stand rather than having to deal with stairs
  
• Both the motorbike and the truck Cloud and Tifa steal can be seen in Chapter 16 as you explore the Shinra HQ lobby
  

And that's most of them! Again, chapter 18 has a bunch of symbolism and foreshadowing too, but that's its own beast which I won't tackle here. Any other details I might have missed? Share them below so we can have a truly complete easter egg thread!
