Squeenix Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - now on Steam

Square handling the cross dressing part with extra care is so Japanese.

 

[Thorakitai]

This is game is literally the sequel to Advent Children all right. All flash and no substance.

All these scenes that pay homage to the original story but please the crowd with incredible bullshit that wasn't in it. (Hojo spelling out that Cloud isn't soldier, showing Nibelheim before Tifa is introduced, Tifa, Jessie and Aerith fangirling and thirsting for Cloud like a bunch of fangirls, Sephiroth and Cloud doing anime-style fights...).

I just watched it. What a wierd sequence. You can clearly see that there was effort put into it, thats not the problem.

What i would however point out that the atmosphere of the situation has been quite drastically changed. The Honey bee Inn alluded to prostution (even if it's played for fun in all instances) in the original which makes the shitty life under the city-plate in the slums more believable. If they were partying all day long there this message doesn't really get across.

Also on a related note, does Don Corneo always pick Cloud in the remake? Vids I’ve watched always has that outcome no matter the dress chosen.

Not a hill worth dying on but will consider it another sign of decline if an alt path you were unlikely to see on your first playthrough (the cloud outcome required you among other things to give the right qualities you wanted in a dress to the dressmaker and picking a certain item out of several at a vending machine when staying the night at an inn, you needed a strategy guide to get all this right) became mandatory in the remake. Basically an easter egg that became infamous is now the only way forward because it’s what people remember so gotta give the plebs what they want, almost as cheap and pandering as fighting sephiroth to the beat of one winged angel before you even leave midgar.

And yeah likewise, I remember the honeybee inn to be seedier underneath the glitzy exterior. Now it’s the moulin rouge.

Probably because it's the current year and him picking the girls would be too creepy ew gross. Hope I'm wrong though, the rest of the game didn't seem to care about that noise

This game is the gift that keeps on giving

Stan Lee's cameos keep getting weirder

Didn't they strongly imply that Cloud got gangraped if you did well but not quite enough to get the Don's attention?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I wonder how square would feel about just abandoning their stupid story writing/garbage combat/world building and just going all in on making anime porn games, because that's honestly where their true talent lies

I could swear that the "ethics" department managed to convince the developers to change character designs because they are too "sexualised". People that argue that the characters are to sexy now are absolutely impossible to please, what exactly IS wanted? like a list of clear do's and don'ts please.

I guess the best solution would be to stop including women in games apart from porn-games so we don't have to hear this again.

They seem to be ok with games that are full of ugly and fat women.

I remember there being a bit in the honeybee inn where Clould could share a small bath with big burly gym dudes and the dialogue for it being..open to interpretation especially with the camera looking away as if what was happening wasn’t family friendly, but don’t remember anything nefarious happening at corneo’s mansion.

Cloud doesn't get raped, but Don Corneo does give him to his boys to make use of as they please. Its the scene where a bunch of dudes are walking slowly towards Cloud.

But nevermind that, Tifa was in a sex dungeon.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Don't forget the most important part of Corneo's mansion:

A fat dude outsmarts all three of you and sends you down to the SEWERS while hip thrusting about it.

He's talking about when Cloud passes out in the Inn and wakes up next to a guy who was massaging him and shit with inuendo that he did something to Cloud while he was out of it.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Didn't he wake up to a nearly naked muscle man slapping the shit out of his face?

Come to think of it, didn't the gym place in Wall Market have a transsexual as the "lead bro" or something?

FF7 was one weird game.

 

[Delterius]

there's more C&C in that one cross dressing sequence than in many RPGs

I still remember playing through that scene as a 13yo kid and feeling like I had been buttfucked by a dozen muscular gay men. Was scarred for life. I wonder how many innocent minds are going to be traumatized by the remake making them crossdress and get into bed with a serial rapist perv weirdo.

Man, imagine if you could CRAFT your own dress and brew your own perfume by gathering tons of random ingredients. That would be so fucking COOL. If there's one thing I love in my RPGs it's crafting. I think crafting should be in everything you do. Craft weapons, armor, perfume, dresses, C O S M E T I C S, hell why not Materia?

Craft a tuxedo when Cloud gets married to one of his harem cuties. Maybe do side quests for the best bow tie. This is the FF7 I want to play.

Heh, why play FF7 for the Honey Bee Inn when you can bring the Honey Bee Inn to YOU?

Cloud, Tifa and Aeris would have been raped by don Corneo's men if they were regular girls, but they just beat up the thugs. Probably why the scenes were left in.

(Tifa and Aeris later threaten to castrate Corneo if he doesn't speak up, but they are relatively subtle about it so that also stayed in). Oh and there's that weird roleplay going on inside one of the rooms if you peek through the keyhole.

The big buff guys are the friendliest NPCs in the city and just suggesting they would rape anyone is a crime.

Who VAs Wedge? I feel like I know the voice but I can't place it.

i played as a 7yo and was using a guide, didn't understand a thing in english or by context and am now a very well adjusted individual

Matt Jones according to IMDb, he played Badger in the Breaking Bad series.

Was it the bullshit BradyGames one that spoiled Aeris' death (WHOOPS) or the GODLY Versus Books one?

I knew that son of a bitch sounded familiar. I had him pegged for Pence from Kingdom Hearts but Badger is better.

But wait, don't you have to actually work your way into Don Corneos house? Like go to the front door and ask that he sees you (including Aerith?) even Tifa went there to get some information from him nobody was kidnapped.

It is also pretty clear on why the Don searches "new girls" so I can't see how anyone would end up there without the knowledge that they were there for prostituion.

While this certainly points to the dark underbelly, probably due to the poverty seen in the original it does not seem to me that the Don and his men actually "rape" anyone. This is more a prostitution ring and while we could argue that there are reasons why this isn't really a "free" choice I would hardly call it rape.
