If I have absolutely brutal (meaning, 'strong, about some of the happiest times in my childhood') nostalgia for FF7, but as an adult can't stand JRPGs, where does the remake fall for me? It sure seems like it owns in a lot of ways by staying true to being weird and I desperately want to see it, but I'm worried I'd be better off just watching an LP or something because I just don't have the patience or desire to play JRPGs usually. This is the one time I would make an exception just because it hit such a weird nostalgia for me.

Play it, it's really good in its own right and obviously will also hit all your nostalgia buttons

I am sure there is someone reading this who likes the sound of everything about X/X-2 except the English voiceovers, and I'm here to let them know the HD rerelease plus a mod will change that over to the Japanese voice work with subtitles. No idea why they didn't just include it as a toggle option. I still prefer X to X-2 but that's because I prefer melancholy love stories to light-hearted adventures.

ff7r is contemporary enough that you should give it a shot even if you bounce off the genre as a rule

Also I agree that 7r is very approachable if you've got any kind of warmth for JRPG stuff. They were thinking of and trying to directly appeal to people like you when they made 7r.

Antivehicular posted:I can never think of FFX-2 without thinking of my college buddy who picked it up on launch day and just... camped out playing it. When someone pointed out that he'd put 15 hours into a game that had been out for two days, his response was "what? That's only, like, a third of the hours." I think I had this exact conversation with people at work after my 4 days off of elden ring on launch week lol. I was like oh I'm only at 50 hours and they looked at me like I was insane.

It's fantastic and my only complaint is that Johnny feels like a JRPG Poochie, in that there's more of him than there needs to be. My primary worry was that they were going to forget that Aeris is a hard-boiled slums girl and make her a damsel in distress, but to my absolute delight she swears and beats someone to death with a folding chair.

the ff7 remake was awesome but the difficulty was really wonky in that normal mode is challenging but fun in most instances but impossible (for me, bad at games) for like two or three fights, but then easy mode is basically so easy that it's not even fun, like my toddler could beat it on easy mode and he can't even read. however that's a relatively minor gripe, it's a great game

I remember having to drop the difficulty down to easy on that final stage, too. It was one of those fights where I was spending 95% of my time healing. Obviously there was something I wasn't really getting about the fight but I'm not sure what it was. Though it was really the only fight like that for me, Hell House was tough but that's because I only had one of the elemental materia and refused to restart the fight.

That 1 on 1 Reno fight made me stop and realize wait a minute... this is just Kingdom Hearts. And then I replayed a bunch of Kingdom Hearts games after I finished FF7R.

FF7 remake was incredibly easy when you figured out the combat system. The final boss fight isn't hard, but it is over 40 minutes long including cut scenes and if you die, then you start over. It's not difficult, but it is difficult to finish without getting angry and giving up because you didn't get a checkpoint 20+ minutes in. And almost all of the cut scenes in the boss fight are unskippable. Someone obviously made it as a torture research project.
