Just finished it and what a loving trip man. I’m glad they are going bonkers rear end direction. I would also love to have an updated graphics of the original as well. Can’t wait to see how they really gently caress with the original, if they end up saving Aerith then they are going to need something to really gently caress with our heartstrings. Characters were really good, with as much trouble as the production had it shouldn’t have been as good as it was. I’m honestly surprised it’s going it’s own direction in reference to the original. It’s a bold choice and I like it.

I love the changes, there’s no point in just remaking it beat for beat cause you could just put prettier textures on the original game to achieve the same effect. Nomura has been on record saying there’s no point in doing it beat for beat. The only thing I worry about is him doing his garbage Kingdom Hearts poo poo and just making everything batshit crazy only he himself understands.

The internet is bad. Besides the game is going to sell a bajillion copies so it doesn’t matter who likes it.

I honestly just want better textures and models for the original and the remake can be it’s own thing. Both can exist.

In the original game all the characters were bad about speaking their feelings. Aerith knew it was bullshit, Tifa knew it was bullshit. Neither one said a thing to Cloud. It’s mostly just to set up the reveal of zack late in the original game. It sounds like Zack was a late edition to the original which is why it’s out of the way and doesn’t get much explanation until the spinoff stuff.

It’s Nomura. He’s gonna go batshit kingdom hearts within a game. Be prepared to organization Shinra with 13 Sephiroth clones.

Rubrum is Murbur spelled backwards. Makes you think.

If they want to get it out within the next ten years I’d imagine it will be very linear still.

Harrow posted:I dunno, I think people underestimate what Square-Enix can do when they actually buckle down and develop things. The really long development cycles tend to happen because things get stuck in preproduction hell for ages as they spin their wheels and try out tons of different approaches. That's why FF7R Part 1 took five years--the actual development of the part we got probably only took two and a half or three years at most because they ditched Cyberconnect2's version two years in. Same for FFXV, which spent about seven years in preproduction with concepts being developed and thrown out before Tabata came in. Then it took three years to develop the actual game we got. Yea but square enix’s track record seems to indicate they will take a million years on a project unless it’s very small in scale. I think everyone and their dog expected this game to be very mediocre and was pleasantly surprised at how it turned out. That’s not a good sign for them.

You’ll just have to shimmy between a ton of conveniently placed boulders going to the next corridor.

I think it helps that they had a whole game to crib story from without a whole lot of change.

Did Nomura say why the game was so long? You could probably chunk off 10 to 15 hours easily. I guess he wanted to make sure people felt like it was a full game.

2022 is pretty optimistic.

Sephiroth remembers losing because he killed Aerith so instead he teams up with the group to kill time itself.
