If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

There should be more games in this vein, just wild reimaginings of poo poo from the NES era and earlier where the source material is so sparse in detail that it leaves room for bizarre interpretation. Like how the box art for old games was always a fever dream of nonsense that only bore the vaguest possible resemblance to the pixelly mess on the screen. Now that box art can be faithfully rendered in 4K!

Really the only other successful mainstream examples I can think of for this are BotW as a modern redo of sorts for Zelda 1, with Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Bomberman Act Zero as horrible cautionary tales

Isn't Blaster Master Zero (the first one at least) also basically just a wild reimagining of the original game?

Do you really want that version of Mega Man 1?

If nothing else, SE absolutely nailed the marketing for this one. I don't know how the initial CHAOS trailer was envisioned to be seen, but either way they loving ran with it and managed to build some excellent hype for it.

I'll be shocked if it isn't canon. Mobius is likely canon, hell loving Dissidia is basically canon as a FF1 prequel.

So Jack is in a time loop, right? Because he's Garland. That's why everyone talks about how he'll forget, and also why he's resolving not to forget.

I wonder if NG+ cycles will be contextualized in-game as part of the time loop...

There's two party members that are ladies. But if that's your first and only litmus test on whether or not a game is worth playing you should probably just bow out of discussions period IMO.

Are they playable, or just present? Keep in mind I stopped paying attention around when Jack said 'bullshit', I might need some catchup.

I have literally not been in this thread for months, and dipped my head in to ask a single question, because I want to like a Final Fantasy Soulsborne-style game based in FF1's world but have one glaring problem with the one we're getting.

Can I play as one of those female party members, or not?

As far as I can tell there's only been one PLAYABLE character. Females are part of the party and story, but like pre-patch XV it seems like they're just going to be AI buddies. I haven't looked too deeply into it though, someone can tell me if I'm wrong.
