    I honestly don't think we should even try and think of how Cloud's sword works. Final Fantasy 7 always followed rules of anime rather than laws of physics. You honestly wouldn't want to go full midichlorian with anything.

    I wonder, of those pre-orders, how many are aware it's NOT the full game. It's certainly not clear that it's episodic. I specifically looked for this information after I completed the demo and it links you to the store to pre-order, and I only found it stated in the game's description page. It even says "Pre-order FULL GAME".

    Fuck you Square Enix you soulless low life assholes.

    It should be called "FF7 Re-imagining Part 1".

    Now, I believe someone mentioned how they're bloating Midgar?

    [​IMG]

    MMO style side quests that you get from some kid who is apparently Professor Hojo's assistant. Genius content to "improve" the game. Bravo devs. Bringing outdated game design up to modern standards.

    Always be sceptical of some shitlord with a marketing degree. Wouldn't be surprised if the pre-orders are average for a modern game and he's just saying that to manufacture hype. Hype is everything for these multi-million dollar investments.

    This looks troublingly like Dragon Age Inquisition. Content gated behind busy work.

    Eh, that specific example isn't a bad one though. Having to backtrack to perform some menial task is an annoying sidequest. But this doesn't specify particular enemies, so you can do it while moving forward. The only thing 'MMO' about it is the fact that it's got an interface, which is hardly a bad thing. FF7 had far more tedious and retarded sidequests than this. Hopefully fort condor doesn't suck this time around.

    I guess it was decent compared to FF13 but I would say FF13 had better party members. In FF13-2 you are stuck with Sarah (okay) some prick (bad) and the third slot is a monster you pokemon collect (gay).

    FF 13-2 had a system where you could sorta specialize (strength or magic) so that was neat. I really disliked the pokemon third character though, especially since all the really cool ones were gated as DLC.

    I remember it was really easy to get all achievements, at the end I noticed I had only 2-3 missing and got them all for the hell of it.

    The dude in your party had stupid-looking weapons. Not the end of the world but when you're staring at it for 50 hours... yeah. Annoying.

    You are able to customize each charachter more than you did in XIII, though. Prime example is the pokemon/monster companion here. Ranging from an ok supplier of an additional role to veritable god of death motherfucker depending on how you set him up.

    FF7R has real time (with pause) combat and "classic mode" is the easiest difficulty setting? Squeenix is trolling fans hard after they begged for a turn-based combat mode. :lol:

    Regardless, the game looks awesome, so I am really looking forward to it.

    It'll be shittier gameplay with a myriad of questionable cringy fan fiction tagged onto the existing material - with better graphics and a few cool new epic cinematic scenes.

    What else would you expect?

    The large casual audience who won't have followed development of the game closely/at all probably won't know that the product titled "Final Fantasy VII Remake" is in actuality, a remake of only a small portion of the original game.

    All I wanted was better graphics, a little rebalancing because the game was too easy, maybe some new materia, and a little more Zack Fair. God dammit Square.

    Would be funny if part 1 ends up being shit and people loses interest for the next episodes. Squenix risking a lot with this thing.

    That's exactly why they've been avoiding doing it for so long. They're pretty clearly desperate but I think they're actually trying this time around instead giving retards the chance to steer the franchise and assuming hype will rake in the dosh.

    It is going to do really well in sales because everyone who knows anything about video games (but very little about RPGs) is under the impression that FF7 is the greatest RPG of all time and will buy into the hype surrounding the remake.

    This game will sell well, but there is also a chance this game will be utter shit and pissed everyone off the second part will be cancelled or delayed to 2030 or something until people forget about it and rebrand the game into ff xvi or whatever it is.


    Because it is totally what happened to the rubbish fabula nova crystallis shit.

    As explained, they are looking to expand the content of the game. It really is a remake, not remaster. Now whether the content expansion is good or expansive enough, we don't know. I think we now have arena mode as soon as Sector 5 market. The church scene with Aerith is also different etc.

    Just let me save Jessie this time and we are gucci. And probably murder the shit out of Reno and the Truks. Like Jesus, how the fuck did the Truks become some sort of comic relief villains after the shit they pulled by collapsing the Sector 7 shit. The lack of tension everytime you meet them after that is infuriating.

    EDIT: Like jeez I know we have Jenova and Speiroth and shit but really the whole Midgar management and the fucking Truks are incredibly personal enemies.
