I hit the point in Bethesda games where I suddenly become incredibly bored. I'm gonna go ahead and do the ng++ and if it's not something really interesting I'll probably put the game down.

this whole series is fantastic if you love SNES

somewhat unrelated but one of the common wisdom of the snes/genesis era was that japanese devs would "nerf" their games for american audiences because they assumed americans were bad at video games. i think that was true that they often did that or didn't port X because they assumed americans were too bad to play it,

but was there any actual evidence americans were bad at games worse than other countries? (besides glancing at the Games forum and confirming the fact. for the question at hand: assume goons don't exist as a case history to prove the japanese right)

The OG FF7 was out of this world on release and still holds up incredibly well today, and in a lot of respects is even better playing through as an adult as a dumbass kid because you can both notice and appreciate the central theme of despair and constant failure and getting owned in ways so comprehensive it takes dozens of hours to fully sink in.

It's still my #1 JRPG of all time but I'm not gonna lie, Chained Echoes is likely to dethrone it for that spot by the time I've wrapped it up. It's unreal how good this game is, a GOTY contender for me even considering how stacked 2023 has been.

so rebirth isn't going the originals route but the movie route cause aeris is starborn ??

realising they were keeping all the movie and spinoff stuff was the big letdown of ff7r imo, but i guess it works for the superfans who liked all that garbage

sucks that you gotta buy the dead console for the next 2 parts of the remake imo, still not quite an excuse enough to get one - and i do want an excuse to get one for the aesthetics

i am more excited for this than i was for the first part

it looks like they really, truly did it to the point i almost can't believe it. everyone figured they'd take the ffx approach and instead you can fly on a chocobo and ride a segway. i really liked ff16 in spite of its lows being pretty bad and that singular trailer makes it look like total poo poo

I think it still will be an FFX-ish approach, just with a small number of big areas (FF16 is a more recent example of something like this).

Still seems awesome, though (and I like the way FFX and FF16 did things, with the smaller but more "curated" zones).

i love FF7 with all my heart, i've played and beaten it like 6 times, i wrote an essay about it for the 20th anniversary

it sags pretty bad in the middle, the entire huge materia arc and everything associated with it is a whiff and then they're not even relevant to the story lmfao

all of that poo poo can get truncated down to the rocket attack on meteor pretty swiftly (because that part is actually great)

For "at least 3 months" it is a PS5 exclusive

But square needs money and they made a gently caress ton of it on the PC so I'd wager it'll be a shorter window than the original was

I haven’t gotten much further, but uhhh… are all the starborn just the emissary and the hunter? like, it’s just them repeated forever? or are we supposed to understand that There Are Others? because it doesn’t seem that way. maybe this is explained later.

They had that feature in the Secret of Mana remake too and I really appreciated it because in some cases (whatever the name of the dwarf town music was) the new one was plainly superior and in some cases (Into The Thick Of It) the original was way better
