Look don’t misunderstand me I’m completely on board with the game and its theoretical sequels going balls to the wall insane because it’ll either be a train wreck in slow motion or it has the teeny tiny microscopic remote possibility of pulling it off and that’s fucken awesome too

Just beat hard air buster. Only Tifa alive, whole team on no mp, Tifa on 400hp remaining. What a stressful game! I love it!

I remember being an rpg fan in the late 90s and the hardcore FF7 fans were the absolute worst subset of gamers to interact with. I am de-lighted that the ending of this entirely new game is making their logic circuits overload two decades later. From what spoilers I've read, I think it's a pretty cool risk to take.

Calaveron posted:Like how do you go on and have a goofy military parade where you teach some guys how to do your arm breaking spinny sword victor pose after fighting and ostensibly defeating the living manifestation of destiny There's a ton of weird tonal dissonance in the original too, so I'm sure they can figure out a way to tie it together. If anything, what I've seen of the Honeybee Inn segment makes me hope they go even campier for stuff like the parade.

Yeah they've turned all that poo poo up to 11 so I can't imagine the dolphin ride is getting cut. If anything the dolphin will be wearing a cape.

I hope they can pull it off, because I adored the original game being unapologetically goofy and I can’t wait how they go from visiting the edge of creation to riding a dolphin up a support strut to participate in a real silly parade

The new line on Reddit appears to be that calling this a remake is "blatantly false advertising" and that consumers are being cheated.

Square really is playing with fire here a bit. I mean, think about just how anticipated this is, how excited people were for a remake of Final Fantasy VII believing that it would be faithful to the original, after years and years of people hoping this day would one day come. And even though we all thought it would be terrible, the E3 2019 gameplay reveal and the demo showed that actually it seems like it's going to be good, holy poo poo! And then Well, here we are. I'm expecting some truly apocalyptic nerdrage here. Probably not as widespread as The Last Jedi rage but I'm betting it'll be more intense and longer-lasting. And don't get me wrong, it'll be dumb as gently caress, but oh boy. Hardcore FFVII fans got built up so high and there's gonna be a very sudden drop.

Imagine hunkering down during a global pandemic where the incompetence and malice of numerous world leaders is on track to get countless people killed and the thing you’re maddest about is a questionable narrative decision in a video game.

at the same time i think people are really underestimating how many new fans this will bring in. not just people who only ever played the remake. the entire premise of this means that rather than ff7 remake replacing the original, the original is almost supplemental material for it. knowledge of the original enhances your understanding of the remake's new material. there'll be a lot of new people playing the original for the first time.

If it assuages or changes anyone's feeling about the game, it's only at the end does the plot swerve at a 90 degree angle away from the original. Up until basically storming Shinra it does in fact seem like a really good remake with a few extra mysteries introduced like the plot ghosts and expanded story bits, like Jessie's backstory.

I knew they were never going to do it "right" by these people's definition of "right." But having seen the reviews and reactions, I am satisfied that they did it Right in a way I could've never imagined. I'm a huge FF7 fanboy, I spent hours torrenting Advent Children and trying to get the lovely subs to work before it was released in North America, but one time I tried, more as a writing exercise than anything, to write a novelization of FF7. And I tried a number of different ways to do it. It never worked, and the reason it never worked is [that I'm a poo poo writer but also] that it's fundamentally impossible to perfectly re-create what made FF7 magical at the time, or even the nostalgia that made it magical on replays. It's a fool's errand to try. The only way forward, to make more than the pale shadow of what came before (with glorious graphics or otherwise), was to make something new, and polarizing, and batshit insane.

If so, that's awesome Up to now there have been slight changes, maybe a new big move or greater aggression. This completely caught me off guard and left me laughing/horrified then quickly dead. Hell house is obviously a labour of love for the devs. Everything about it is just incredible.

Onmi posted:It's a sequel, not a remake Well I'll be damned. Glad I heard it here and not from some scallywag on YouTube. I'm one of those weirdos who is gonna wait and play this later, so spoilers are cool. Other than that notable note there, any key interesting beats throughout the story play out super differently? Other than Sephiroth being around more, and some background characters (forgive me) having different outcomes? Edit: I read the pastebin thing from the reddit link last page. Sounds kinda cool, but maybe that redditor is just a drat fine storyteller. The only thing that concerns me is people saying Kingdom Hearts-ish cutscenes, and I don't know that those games are bad or anything, I just gather it means long exposition stuff that is crazy sounding. I watch anime, but I do think "less is more" with some of the mystique and vibe of the story. I'm cool with the idea in general though.

Aerith's clothes become more or less fancy in wall market based on how many side quests you do. At least I think this is it. I just skipped them and she's in a basic outfit versus a much more ornate one from my NG run.

Ah Tifa really gets em out at Corneo's. I'm pretty sure all the outfits change if you don't do the sidequests at this point.
