Squeenix Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - now on Steam

[Shaewaroz]

FF7 is FF7.
This is another game.

I agree, it's fine for them to do whatever they want with their creative license. But do you think these people wanted some other game rather than a faithful recreation of FF7?



This guy is literally having an orgasm during the reveal.

It might not be profitable for Squeenix to try to subvert his expectations.

I really, really, do not care at all. And neither should Square.

Well credit where credit is due, as an exercise in trolling this is a 10/10. This remake bought back my nostalgia for a game I thought I had mostly moved on from then proceeded to violently rape and mutilate it whilst feasting on my childhood fanboi tears. Game journos and cucks lavishing praise further rubs salt in the wounds.

But the trolling is not over, still 2 parts to go! And the genius of time traveling ghosts bs is that while I also predict Aerith is going to be saved, they might actually pull of a double troll and kill her anyways to make the time ghosts plotline irrelevant (seriously what other major event in the story is there to mess with? It HAS to be Aerith or bust). So trolling both ff7 purists and those who waited 20 years to save their waifu in one masterstroke, “looking forward” to seeing which way they go.

HOW does this video exist? 7 hours worth of idiots that have learned absolutely nothing? How can these "fans" be oblivious to the rape Square Enix have unleashed upon the franchise for over a decade now, let alone the rape of every other classic IP they own e.g Thief, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex...FF7R was bound to be crap.

Sometimes I feel like everyone's either a shill or victims brainwashed by the shills. Like everyone has their own "watchmen of fate"-looking puppermasters hovering over them but I can't see them cause I don't have the special glasses.

I am perfectly happy that they are not going to follow the FF7 story strictly. This is how remakes should be done.

Hardly, there are other words they could have used to describe this like reboot or reimagining or something.

With the word Remake they clearly suggested that while the gameplay and story may be expanded that they would not diverge from it in a way that makes it another game alltogether.

That said, to blame is naturally that we use these terms that are used for marketing however we want. It's irrelevant what people think a remake is as long as those making the product decide how to call it on how much money it might make rather than to make clear what they are actually doing. As in to inform their customers as best as possible regarding what the product actually is.

Regardless I saved some money and it isn't really worthwhile to debate the definition of those words, be it "spiritual successor" "reimagining" "remaster" or "reboot" as, as i have said, the companies really don't give a crap.

lol it would actually be peak Nomura to save aeris and then kill her off anyways at a different part. hilarious.

But FF7 remake is indeed a remake.

It just comes with a warning that the rest of the games are not going to be bound by the fanbase expectations.

The MGS2 parallel is obvious, really. And despite everything, it remains one of the most important and strong statement in game history. It took serious nerve to do that, and it is remembered as such.

Let us see if SE is strong enough to pull it, and how much the public has matured since.

 

[Ash]

Whatever the case they pulled a scummy bait and switch on the retard "fans". All early promo material showed off somewhat faithful recreations of the original's scenes without too much divergence. Turns out they were hiding a lot. A lot of shit-tier content that has nothing to do with the original.

Square Enix are completely shameless, soulless assholes that face zero consequence. Do shit like this again and again, yet they only seem to get stronger where you'd think people would stop consuming their shit.

First of all your definition of what is, is pretty arbitrary. You simply do not know what a remake is, you only believe that this is one.

let me quote the prestigous well of wisdom wikipedia here:

A remake is a production of a film, television series, video game, or similar form of entertainment that is based upon an earlier production. A remake tells the same story as the original but uses a different cast and may alter the theme or target audience.

so I am not sure what you are basing your opinion on but i'm pretty clear it's not objective. Don't get me wrong here, wikipedia has the same problem with this topic, look at the talk page and you will see that they are debating this shit just like anyone else.

The real issue here is that it actually did not come with a warning, which is exactly why the audience reacts like this. That the story would fully diverge was never mentioned, therefore a backlash is unavoidable and in my eyes also warranted.

 

[Taxnomore]

Gamers being angry at something insignificant, is, however, an eternal remake.

 

[Ash]

It's a reboot not a remake, going by common movie and video game terminology.

Fine, call it a remake if you want, just be sure to add "part 1" to the subtitle so people who don't follow video games and just want a nostalgia trip know they aren't getting even 15% of what Final Fantasy 7 originally encompassed. Also so people know it's episodic in general and will have to shell out 100 bucks or whatever every installment.

SCUM ENIX

I am not going to dispute that. Even though I would say that it is not the nature of the gamers it is the nature of humankind. So is trying to exclude (or include) yourself from a specific group so you can tell the others that their issue is insignificant is pretty much standard MO

 

[flyingjohn]

These characters just won't shut the fuck up.Does very character need to narrate every single little detail they do or constantly tell you their thoughts?

 

[alighieri]

ITT: people who are mad that the remake isn't the same game they played in their childhood


fans of a franchise are the most retarded people ever and the reason why a franchise turns to shit. I hope Square shits more on these kind of people

which means he called himself retarded, sounds about right.

 

[Cromwell]

Everytime I try to put together a mature and witty response to this thread I remember that the guy who made this did kingdom hearts and just give up. I checked and saw that the guy who made seven also did 6 8 10 and chrono trigger.

Square could shit on a plate and sell millions if they said it's FF7-themed shit. It's one of the few video game fanbases that rivals Nintendo's cult members.

Nobody has ever used the term "remake" to mean "different game with the same characters and vague similarities in the plot", this is retarded even for contrarians

Guess the joke is that 'remake' part in games title is not about game itself but story that's being remade

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Does the Honey Bee Inn still have that room where somebody is talking about how you should worship Satan?

 

[Taxnomore]

But first, we must decide if it is a RPG.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

It has romances.

So it's halfway there.

Maybe because we're used to getting remastered versions instead of actual remakes.
What's your definition of a remake ?

It's a reboot not a remake

It doesn't make sense. You can reboot a franchise by remaking one of its episode, or by going for something completely new. Prey 2017, RE2 and Warcraft 3 Reforged can all be considered reboots in that regard.
I don't see how reboot and remake would be mutually exclusive.

 

[Taxnomore]

Basically, FF7 is pulling both a reverse MGS 2 and an Evangelion.

It's fine. It makes sure none replaces the other. For the team, it avoids comparisons with how one is better than the other, and it allows them out of creative frustrations by giving them freedom to do what they want, while remaining in the FF7 universe. For the players, it gives them both what they want, a full on FF7 remake until leaving Midgar, and then surprises for what's coming next.

Everything. Is. Alright. There is no need to be upset.

So far, I have heard only good things about FF7 remake. Most of these things are not about how it sticks closely to the original game, but how it's a good game on its own. There is, so far, no reason to think the sequels will be terrible. They might be. Square has screwed up in the past. But you can't tell from what you have.

At least, they have picked my interest.
