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.

Wonder if this means that saves are gonna transfer over to the next games or if that's just something that won't matter in the long run, like at all

I expect we'll keep flags and have bonuses if we max level. but the level cap in this game is 50, which very much indicates that we'll start Game 2 around 30-40.

Zero. It's going to make gangbusters sales. The real question is can Part 2 keep sales up, seeing as how they decided to make this episodic, and they still have 75% of the game to go. If they blow another 3-5 years on slogging development, nobody is going to give a poo poo. If they have brains this will be and has to be an all-hands-on-deck, year+ nonstop crunch with thousands and thousands of employees to get out in any sane timeframe.

This would all be awful to me... if the game wasn't so loving fun. Because it's really good. And it's really earnest.

Sales aren't everything. My poor Metal Gear Solid 2 actually sold more than MGS3 but its infamy is linked to why MGS3 didn't sell as well. So many people were chased off by the horrible word of mouth about it.

Bad reviews and fan reaction matter, too.

They even tease Zack at the end of the trailer and shows Sephiroth talking about "defying destiny". They're beginning to show their hand officially now.

I noticed that too cause they zoomed into that way too much so I search for a picture of it that you can find early on in the game. It would explain why Zack is still alive with the Buster Sword

purists: NOOOOOOOOOO!!! You can't artificially change the timeline on a game promised as a remake of my favorite childhood experience! You can't just say main characters don't die or just die in a different part of the game for no reason other than Nomura has self-respect for his own creative process! You are distorting the natural fate of Aeriserino noooooooooo

As someone who was watching that stream for 3 hours, gotta say you could tell the EXACT moment someone posted that link on 4chan and the conversation quality immediately took a dive from talking about the comparative merits/flaws of each mix of the Jenova theme to OMFG NOMURA.

Because some people just wanted a remake of the original game.

I actually like all the crazy poo poo that was posted here, it's insanely ballsy. They could've just remade the game with action combat and episodic releases, but even then people would have complained anyway. It was never gonna be the same exact game, and going all Nomura on it makes it a lot more interesting than a 1:1 remake like a lot of people wanted imo. It might end up as just dumb bullshit at the end of it all (much like most of the compilation), but for now I'm down with Nomura's crazy FF7 ride. People are gonna talk about this poo poo for ages.

people were mostly split on whether they were optimistic or thought they were going to gently caress up the original story, nobody expected whatever the gently caress this is and nobody has any idea what to make of it so the new split is between confusion and kneejerk anger.
