Cloud in a dress = GG

I love Red XIII's voice, but his design seems kinda... droopy? He looks far more regal in Advent Children.

So hype!

I just hope that there's an option for Japanese voices with subtitles because those dubs are too cheesy.

Thirteen is the worst one I've played. You're basically just walking down corridor levels and there are no real ways to customise your team or use any strategy in combat. The story is really weak too. I packed it in after about 8 hours.

I'd be surprised if this Final Fantasy VII remake ends up being as bad as that. The original is excellent and has a really good story for them to adapt this from. The only thing is that this entire game is only going to be based on the first four or five hours of the original (until you leave Midgar for the first time and the world opens up a bit basically).

The original is definitely worth playing anyway. Especially if you get it on Steam and install the hd backgrounds mod and maybe some replacement character models if the blocky chibis are too off putting. I find them weirdly charming though.

Looks great. I'll definitely buy when it drops.

The English VA's seem a bit iffy aside a few of the characters, so I'll probably play in Japanese with Subs, provided they're available.

They are all totally separate stories in new places each time. They just share some similar themes. They even change in style. Like Final Fantasy IX is all steampunk with a mix of Victorian and medieval styles but Final Fantasy VII has a deiselpunk look with cars and power plants and robots and stuff.

Fuck those guys. The only people it would trigger would be people who don't understand how making video games works and how much more time, effort and money it takes to make the assets for a 2020 AAA game vs a 1997 AAA game.

From what I've heard, it gets a limited release on PS4, followed by being ported to the other systems.

I like how good the remake looks, not sure if Imma get it or not, but we'll see depending on how things go from here.

What things? Money? You of all people must get this game. You are almost a Final Fantasy mascot. You’re almost a moogle. Better rob a bank or something or just buy first play later if time is the issue.

While I won't be getting to this until I get through P5R. What's the general stance on the combat style? I hear the 'turn-based' style is extremely easy and while that was going to be my choice of playstyle, I would rather go ARPG if the former is too easy.

I don't trust critic review because they could have been paid by game developers. Beside,sample size for user score is bigger.

FF7 Remake: 8.0

Seems like 2 of my most anticipated games of the year turn out not as good as I thought. 8.0 is still decent though. I pray Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us 2 did well.

I guess... but I've played Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger, and they're both from the 90s (older than FF7 too!).

People I know who are currently playing the FF7 remake are really enjoying it so far, so I'd say it did meet expectations. Most of the complaints seems to be directed towards filler content and story changes. If you haven't played the original or did but not too concerned about faithfulness, then I'd say it's a safe buy.

That RE3 aggregate score seems to be spot-on, though. Too much cut content really spoiled the experience. But then again, the original RE3 wasn't as good as RE2 either, which is something people tend to forget. I also heard rumors that the project was developed by Capcom's B-team.

I didn't want to watch the full video since they showed scenes I haven't reached but I'm having a great time with the game so far. I also finished beating the original game like a day before it came out and can say based on the first 5 hours some of the changes are notably appreciated but I won't go into specifics.

Their complaint about fillers though comes off as contradictory because they correctly note you can skip most of the side quests they listed. The game only requires the player to do 1 of their choice to show how side quests work and immediately prompts them if they want to just continue the story.

Although if the player skips the quests then they can never be completed which the game aggressively warns the player about. They try to justify their complaint by saying it can subtly effect later scenes or you'll miss out on major rewards or unlocks in which case yeah obviously. If you choose to skip content you don't get rewarded. Is it just that they don't like the content of the side quests specifically? Do they want the side quests to not be rewarding or are they just docking points because they're in the game?

Like FF7 specifically is no stranger to tedious side quests with really rewarding results. Whether it's chocobo breeding in the original to get the strongest ability in the game (granted this task can be skipped if you beat a super boss), or farming casino tokens to get Cloud his last Limit ability. I just hope they ditched the idea of say invisible items that can be missed if you don't have the right party member for example. On a similar notion one mechanic I'm glad they add is

I think the graphics and the overall design looks extremely beautiful, but I'm sure what to think about the changes they made to the game. It seems so weird to take the first 5-6 hours of the original game and turn it into full-fledged 30+ hours game (especially since the original was barely that long). If they do this in every episode, then that would mean the game consists of 75% filler content. I also prefer the original Active Time Battle system (one of my favorite mechanics in video games in general) over this more generic action gameplay. Well, I don't have a PS4 (or a powerful enough PC), so I couldn't play the game anyway.
