It's on PS4 with optional cheats for fast forward and no random battles that can be turned on and off at will, it's great. The modern digital PC version doesn't have those but instead has various mods for graphical improvements and such.

What about the music loop bug did they ever fix that?

This channel has (presumably) all of the music ripped from the demo, and there's multiple variations for songs like the main battle theme, the boss theme, and the bombing mission theme, and they're all :perfect:

There’s also tracks from (presumably) an in-game jukebox, which has a ton of fun FF covers, like an 8-bit version of 13’s battle theme.

Visually this feels fresh but still very nostalgic so good job on that part but why does everyone have terminal asthma :psyduck:
I was hoping for much better gameplay than this 20+ years later but I guess it's still a Final Fantasy game.

It finally got patched on PS4 two weeks ago. Switch and XBone already got patches earlier in the year.

You can see President Shinra and Cait Sith in the Honeybee Inn in the original game, so it's canon that they get up to some weird after hours activity.

Sometimes, in a city this dirty, you need a real hero.
I know it's unlikely, but i really hope they don't include any grindy 'drop chance %' bullshit that's crept into a lot of their recent games to get the best weapon in the game. This isn't an MMO that needs padding out to milk a subscription.

If i beat a hard boss or enemy i want a straight up reward.

That means no bloody 'fragment of ultima' which needs to then be combined with 'adamantite shard' x20 which has a 2% drop rate from some loving enemy located in only one specific part of the world that you need to be level 80+ to kill effectively.

Agreed. There are ways to do stuff like this that aren't grindy.

Haha, I was just coming into this thread to say that I've started replaying the original after like 5 years, and that I still enjoy it as much as I hoped I would. I even think the graphics are still reasonably well aged, since the "remake" version you get now has at least smooth polygons and poo poo. It's a welcome mix of nostalgia and suprise at how much I ended up forgetting over the years for me, idk.

Personally I'm hyped as hell about the remake, I never quite got the entire controversy about it since I don't follow gaming news that much and it looked fine to me from the beginning.

I hope the demo drops soon. I'm between jobs right now so it'd be perfect timing.

I don't have trouble with FF7 as much as some people do. With that said, one of my favorite games of all time, Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape: Torment are nigh unplayable to me, even despite how much I appreciate the environment art.

And I really, really appreciate those two games.

The main points of controversy are:

1. Splitting the game up, which leaves a sour taste in people's mouths because if it gets split up 3 ways that's 180 for a formerly 60 game.

2. There's every reason to assume that the padding they are adding to justify these episodic releases is going to be complete dog poo poo, because all of the expanded universe stuff has been complete dog poo poo so far.

3. Boo action combat, give us nerds in a row waiting their turn.

Personally, I don't have a problem with 3 at all, I find ff7's combat too boring at this point. And I won't have a problem with 1 if 2 doesn't pan out either. But those have been the main concerns so far.

There’s some script leak stuff that suggests somewhat major story changes. Or additions, at least.

HERE BE SPOILERS:

Hojo wanted to breed Aerith with G-Type SOLIDERs, referencing CC. Sephiroth seems to be quite chatty with Cloud in his head. The “Watchers of Fate” are way more integrated into the story it seems, with Aerith and Red straight up explaining what they are - they even appear and interrupt Hojo as he tells Cloud he was never in SOLDIER. Apparently they act as a sort of “destiny police” for the Lifestream, and appear to those who are trying to deviate from the will of the Planet.

I know it probably won't happen, because it would have been announced by now, but I'd like to see some sort of IZJS option that limits what Materia each character can equip.

Maybe as a DLC…

I tried to replay it a year or so ago, and I forgot how many drat mini games it has. They're all so loving bad. It's the only part of the remake that I'm not looking forward too.

yeah that's really loving dumb and another extension of the EU's shittier storytelling

WEAPON was the closest thing the Planet had to a defense system in the original and they were more like the kaiju version of white blood cells, and about as smart. dirge of cerberus and crisis core kept adding on more and more godlike entities sleeping in the Planet that can just do whatever when they feel like it

the Planet shouldn't have a "will" beyond "please stop killing me. you are killing me. i would like very much for you to stop killing me please." this metaphysical how-dare-you-fight-fate bullshit nearly ruined what little was good about FFXV before the other DLC's got canned
