Nope. I did not enjoy that.
SE has just lost too much.
Sakaguchi, Matsuno, Ito (put on a shelf) are all gone.
Nomura is the golden boy now and I just don't like his style.


FF7R may be a really good game. And I may actually like it for what it is. I have my doubts after reading the story. I will see how it is in person soon enough. But it's not FF Remake, its more of a Reboot.

You play Before Crisis? Dirge? Crisis Core?

You watch Advent Children? Last order?

All of which are related to FF7 world and plot?

Did you know that you can miss out on Vincent and Yuffi in the original game?

How does Rufus survive?

The black cloaks? Who are they? They just disappear after you talk to them.

What really is the lifestream? What capabilities does it truly have? We know it can do a lot and change a lot.

To me...there is a lot going on before I even play the remake. So all im getting at is that my jimmies are not gonna be rustled to much by some changes. Especially if it isn't the full release.

No. I read the stories.

Yea.

Of course.

I am okay with that sort of stuff.

The Clones? FF has weird concepts, that is not the point of anything. If they wanted to expand more on that, that is fine. I don't care if it's the exact same.

You haven't saw it yet. It is not about expanding on ideas or things not being what we thought they were. It is straight up alternate reality and a character is aware it is.

Which is totally out of the realm of possibility considering everything?

This was not in anyway in the game before.
You literally could say what you are saying about any game ever. Does that make it a good story?

You will defend this game no matter what, that is fine. I am not trying to sway your opinion. I am done. Mine is it's silly.

Remake.

Some sure could benefit from it.

Maybe not....maybe better.

I am not defending anything but the fact that the game is not finished and my judgement will be made once it is and once I play.

I have no problem with coming back and trashing the game..but only after its all done.

As someone who has played the original FFVII but has no reverence for it, all the controversy is amusing me greatly.

The mental aspects is what I meant, the misleading scenes with Zack

Aerith has to die. The only way the White Materia can work is through sacrifice. Basically she becomes the Lifestream.

I seriously would not be surprised if they get cute with it though.

Like maybe she lives past where she dies previously but then dies anyway a different way later or something.

From what I've seen, they make Biggs' and Jessie's deaths more gut-wrenching.

I wouldn't put it past them to make Aerith's worse.

Oh totally. They could fake people out by having her be heroically saved at that moment she's supposed to go, only to setup an even worse death later on, with a whole "there's no escaping fate" theme or something.

Spoiler: If you saw American Wedding and remember the dance battle between Stifler and the gay bouncer, one of the mini games will have you laughing your arse off.

I have it pre-ordered through GameStop now but I will give them a call today once they are open to see if I can pick it up tomorrow night. If not, then I will just buy through PSN store. Would prefer to have a physical copy and the sweet Shinra Card but it would most likely end up on my shelf collecting dust like the other collector's items.

Tried a few days ago with my nearest GameStop and they'd already ordered all their preorders and wouldn't be getting any more until a few days after release date.

So I had to delete some stuff (old 500gb ) from the PS4 to make room, and just preordered it from PSN. Now watching that countdown every day is giving me anxiety

I’d laugh my arse off if they do like a dozen different aerith death fakeouts. Some serious final destination type shite that never succeeds.
