Sewer rates, huh. So much content. A fully fleshed out Midgar. Each episode is a full game's worth of content.

You know what would be really fun and not at all padding, if after the first bombing mission they make you distribute water filters throughout the slums.

At least there arent any sewer rats that need killing.

e: I spoke too soon.
Yeah I fuckin hate seeing an expanded sector 7 slums with voiced characters (even all the background NPCs without names have voiced chatter that changes as you progress), and I definitely hate having to kill enemies in a game with fun combat!! Wasn't sector 7 a single screen in the original, plus the beginners hall, 7th heaven and a shop?

Seriously though, if you're somehow expecting this remake of Midgar to be a good length without introducing new storylines and characters (whether it's from the EU or just new), or fleshing out existing characters and areas, you might be expecting too much. Instead of thinking "ugh sick of this padding, I just want to get back to the REAL content", you should maybe enjoy all of the new content you're getting???

The combat system is fun, and cloud/Tifa/Barret all feel different to play.

You only have to do 1 or 2 of the side quests to progress btw. You even get to choose!

Can't wait to see people melt down in this thread when you can get weapons and spells from much later in the original game in Midgar because it isn't true to the original or something

"Amala, I've got a chainsaw on my arm. I'll be fine."
I was hopeful that the game had been released digitally early, I am not sure why I thought this. I never played the original, and I remember hearing so much about it back in middle school, and I'm familiar with the cast of characters.

Really looking forward to playing this game, the demo had excellent gameplay.

it's fine to be annoyed with goons for being so negative

plenty of people have been busting in here to be negative about things they're not even informed about, ie it being episodic, and that poo poo was annoying

I'll be waiting for a while, since I'm expecting early reviews to kinda be blinded by the hype. Not saying the game can't be good, but I want people to really sink their teeth in first before I make up my mind.

I love him. It's not even the most ridiculous thing to be in FF7 when you look at some of the original stuff like honeybee inn (I know it's been in trailers but I can't wait to see how they expand that whole wall market area :allears: )

Downside: it's pushing the limits on a non-Pro that I'm getting a lot of texture pop-in and had a few pauses for loading when trying to talk to named NPCs

another downside: I know roughly when the game will end.

Also downside: my work won't close down and I can't do 90% of my job from home, I just want to play more of it!!

The combat just feels so much better than FF15 even though you could say they're similar.

Airbuster! You can weaken the boss by loving up his components and then taking them as treasure. But Square cut the King VERMIN line. :(

And as for the meeting with Aerith afterwards, it reaaaally seems like the idea that this is an AU might be plausible. Cloud has a brief vision of Aerith's death when she talks to him about the Holy Materia.

I think it would be mad cool if they do a Rebuild of Evangelion sort of thing, but I really don't think they have the balls for something like that. I'd be legit surprised if they do.

Is this in addition to the existing pre-load window?

I just checked mine and it says it'll only pre-load 48 hours earlier. Is the norm just 24 hours or something?

Couple of trophy spoilers (These trophies are not hidden, so visible once you launch the game if you look, gameplay spoiler rather than story):"Beat all chapters on Hard difficulty" - Hard was not available at the start. New Game+ mode or just new difficulty after beating the game once??
Trophy for possible max level: "Reach level 50"
