Final Fantasy VII Remake: Every Easter Egg & Reference You Probably Missed
10. Palmer's Buttery Tea
Palmer is the Director of Shina's Space and Aeronautics Division and served as a minor antagonist in the original game, perhaps remembered best for his preference for tea that comes with lashings of sugar, honey, and most weirdly of all, lard.
Fans have been speculating about Palmer's love of lard for over 20 years, with many ultimately believing that this was simply a mistranslation for the English-language version of the game, given the absolute weirdness that anyone, no matter how rotund, might want to put lard in their tea.
That theory certainly seems to be supported by FFVII Remake, then, which clearly states that the new Palmer takes butter in his tea as opposed to lard. It's still disgusting, but at least it makes a little more sense now.
