I don’t mind the expanding in Remake as much as Rebirth tbh. Remake’s does expand a lot of side character’s, but they feel relevant to the story. Marlene, Avalanche trio, hell Yuffie’s little side story, they’re all good additions. EDIT: ALSO Wall Market! Best addition by far.
Rebirth is where I think it went off the rails a bit. The game really feels unfocused with a lot of the side quests, and it really drags a bit until you get to the last quarter of the game.
Maybe it’ll feel better to revisit once we have the entire trilogy. But man, paying $70/ to play Rebirth feels a bit bad when it came out at the same time as the new Yakuza and Persona remake priced at the same point.
I believe (and someone correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been a while since I’ve taken biochemistry) hull cleaner is usually made of phosphoric or citric acid, and it has a higher affinity to binding to the milk’s (hydrogen?) molecules than the receptors it would bind to in your body to poison you. So the acid’ll bind to the milk and create some sort of solid (milk curdle) that will take longer for your body to digest, giving you time to call poison control.
Similar principle to drinking vodka if you’ve ingested methanol, but for that mechanism I believe vodka binds to the receptors in your body faster than methanol, and that’s what slows down the poisoning.
