i mean yeah it is made so it can also be played on its own but. if you're talking with someone about ff7 you can't just refer to the remake interchangeably it is a different game

that's fair

Because its fine as its own game. :shrug:

that's the thing though. it's its own game, not ff7. you can't tell someone who's stating they never played ff7 to wait and pick up the remake on sale like it's ff7 and not, a companion game to ff7

I just dont think original FF7 is that good and FF7R is a perfectly fine FF game. I dont see the problem with recommending it to someone who has never played either.

7r is a great addition to the Compilation of Final Fantasy 7, alongside crisis core and advent children

i like the story and themes of final fantasy 7 but i will never in my life take the time to complete that video game. the action rpgs on the other hand, maybe

You can play 7R without playing 7 but you can't really play 7R instead of playing 7.

They're just different games.

ff7 is a good game. half of why remake is good is because it's applying alternative takes on cool parts of ff7. if you want to experience ff7's story the original game is the only one that actually tells it and it does it with a much more brisk pace. i wouldn't hold it against anyone to prefer one over the other but i don't think they're even comparable because one opens with an entire game of plot ghosts trying to disrupt it from being the same as the other one, remake's core point so far is that it's not ff7

I’m pretty happy with how they handled FF7R and it doesn’t just poo poo on the original. It still all happened, FF7R is just it’s own thing.

FF7 is like 28-30 hours if you can understand gameplay mechanics better than the children that bought it at launch in 96. It's pretty breezy and well paced and worth your time.

It's the only console game i ever maxed out the timer for. Mainly because i had to create at least one copy of the really good materia

FF7 is so overrated it has become underrated, has aged horribly yet still seems ahead of its time. Anyone diving into Final Fantasy needs to give it a playthrough.

Nah it's a pretty brisk game, all things told. If you sit down and play it and don't bumble around too much all the games before 10 are pretty fast little adventures, especially for big rpgs like they are.

I think even side content in 7 is pretty fast. It takes like 3 hours to breed a golden chocobo if you know where to grab good starter guys. it's 12 combined total wins IIRC at racing which is the largest time sink of it.

It's one of the worst animated arcs in the entirety of the one piece anime (Dressrosa is worse though). And for sure the most stretched out one.

marineford was the arc that made me swear off the anime forever for loving up one of my favorite arcs, after giving it like, 3 attempts to return to it over the years. I'm pretty sure someone made a supercut of every time luffy was screaming AAAAAAAAAAACE and it wound up being like 17 minutes long

they do try but there's only so much you can do when you're trying to maintain episode counts. the filler is much shorter but it still exists
