Squeenix Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - now on Steam

[Abu Antar]

Final Fantasy is just dead to me at this point.

Convenient timing for the PS5 version's announcement given that the game's one year exclusivity period ends on April 10th.

Let me guess, the PS5 version is another year exclusive?

High amount of Zionist energy, not only chopping up the remaster into an undefined number of different 60$ parts but also selling DLC for each and every part individually.

They also dropped a trailer to a mobile version of FF7. Episodic of course:



DON'T YOU GUYS HAVE PHONES?

Also, why the hell is Aerith fighting the Guard Scorpion?

They did the same thing with FFXV and that got a pc and console release afterwards. So, here's hoping.

I'm not ready to buy a PS5, though. I'll be getting the superior slim version that doesn't run as hot and has all of the kinks worked out.

Seem to be a bunch of Dirge of Cerberus tie-ins there.

You know that FF7 was based on Jewish mythology and originally set in NYC right?

This will be free on PS Plus in March.

FF7 remake is a masterpiece of trolling. It belongs in a museum, it should be studied in university.

I'm going to continue laughing at Yuffie being paid dlc and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Death to all enablers of the decline!

I found this on /v/ guys. How accurate is it?

 

[Nifft Batuff]

We are living in a new age of decline. The first time it was a tragedy. Now it is a farce.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'm amazed that nobody has pushed for a FF6 remake yet. Like a hardcore remake like this.

Probably because the FF6 crowd is too old to give a fuck anymore and it's not an instant win for them

Looking at https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy#Games it didn't sell nearly as well.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Yeah, at the end of the day/game its all about sales and $$ collected per region. There might even be a bit of prejudice on which region gets what (sure the hell happened in the early days... fuck even now.). The production costs must be way up there for this since its being done in installments.

I've been looking at the art styles of various jrpgs lately and the games evolutions through the years. I wonder what they will evolve into next.

I've only seen the vids and screenies of the remake so I can't honestly say how this game would awe me compared to the original. I haven't played the original either but have watched a few of vids commenting on differences. Play it fresh or experience the original first? Play them side by side?

It would be difficult to capture in 2021 what FF7 was at its time, and that's not merely the presentation and how dated it looks, but you also have a whole age cohort at just the right age to really understand a bit of the teenie angst in the game (and the series as a whole). Having said that, it's quite unique, IMO, in capturing a sort of dieselpunk-with-magic aesthetic layered on top of a story that is ultimately about the global environment (without going so far as becoming econihilistic like many of the millenials have become).

 

[Major_Blackhart]

They will evolve to become a series of belts only, and the person built around that.

As an aside, I have to say I wholeheartedly dislike FF7 because of how much of a letdown the whole game is AFTER mother fucking Midgar, which is disc 1. That whole area was so damn well done and so good, the rest of the game blows. Story is kinda meh, here and there has some sci fi elements reminiscent of The Thing, but overall it's not entirely compelling or that great.


Ninjerk Teen angst yes, but even then I felt it was less in FFIII (6-Jap), primarily focused on the two main chicks (Celes and Terra). The other characters didn't have angst so much as other stuff to work thru. Except Cyan, who had real reasons for that shit. Overall, I feel like FFIII still was the most engaging story wise, and had the best development character wise, and was the most free form gameplay wise (last 2/3rds of it) when compared to the other FF's I played.

FFT, for all it's awesomeness, was an on-rails story. It was an amazing story, but there was no choice aside from how you played your character, etc.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Sometimes the region numbering is annoying imho.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'll refer to every other FF as it's proper number except FFIII. That was the first one for me. It was magical.

Fucking Kefka won.

because we know SE would fucking bungle it. Look at FF7R. Look at the FF6 iOS port. You think we want that shit? Nah dude, let sleeping dogs lie. that's a goddamn monkey's paw wish and you know it.

FF6 doesn't need a remake. Even the old pixel-art still holds up and if you want something newer there are mods that fix the steam versions (imo my preferred way to play FFVI now is going full Amano on sprites YMMV)

The only big thing you could improve is gameplay/combat and there's a 99% chance that's going to be fucked up in a remake. Rather just play some mod on that front.

So, yes. Presentation still holds up, story still holds up, charachters still holds up, pacing still holds up.
What would you even improve that would be improved?
