Rebirth looks great, glad they didn’t fuck up Vincent’s voice. I haven’t started Ever Crisis even though it’s on my phone but I’ll get to it, and hopefully finish before Rebirth drops.

I think if they remake any more Final Fantasies, they should do FF6. It would be one that would lend itself well to an expansion of the story and the graphics/sound. Given that you play from multiple different pov characters I think you could add a lot of extra content/quests/bosses and not have to mess too much with the overarching story. They could even divide it into a duology pretty naturally.

FF6 was really ahead of its time. Imagine the opera house scene in modern graphics.

The FF7 remake is bad enough. Leave the old games alone. We have the pixel remasters, it's enough.

Nomura is the Druckman of Japan. He ruins whatever he touches and his ego is out of control.

I'd like that, especially if they made it like this:

Ive played Ever Crisis extensively.

Plot wise I like it, There are some weird little changes to speed things up ( no honey bee in, You directly fight reno, dont get to talk to civilians etc.) but it generally keeps the aesthetic of the remake without changing much story wise. They kept all the little dialogue choices like the slum drunk so that was great. Interestingly it seems you dont get a choice for options like assaulting shinra HQ or taking the stairs. (you sneak in and the stairs are cut)

Crisis core is a straight adaptation with nothing to write home about. Probably the 1st real roadblock as zack has no party but it's short and ends after you fight ifrit.

First solider is neat lore wise but there's a lot of filler early on, dont expect to meet sephiroth too soon. Protagonists are likeable joes though.

As for gameplay.... It's not insufferable. There's a lot options to work with for upgrading your characters and your unlocking a lot of stuff and features even late into the story for FF7. Costumes all look badass and They've been showering me with crystals and stamina. I tried to play it manually for a little while but eventuality said fuck it and let the AI do everything for the most part.

They are very effective with mobs but every time you fight a boss higher in level you gotta grind in some way or play it manually. I recommend you look up some guides and put all your upgrade points into cloud before anybody else, he's the strongest damage dealer so far and you want to have a team upgraded so they can carry everything else on their back (they were merciful to let non canon characters complete campaign missions, also campaign exp carries over to every character so that was nice, but only once.)

The big negatives right now are the amount of grinding I do to get everybody to max lvl of 50, upgrade the weapons and materia without paying a dime. It's not hard, its just a lot of waiting a min for the AI to beat a monster then do it again. Only thing they cant do is use limit breaks or effectively figure out when to prioritize attacking a monster when they are at low health.

Ive always gotten the sense that he's a chill guy. I dont know where the hell he gets this rep for being an asshole. His co workers all seem to like and respect him if the all the interviews ive read are anything to go by. The worst ive ever heard is laugher over his fixation with darkness.

I mean really? what has he ruined that compares to druckman?

That man completely pissed on the original story of LOU and salted the earth. He made something as selfless as saving a child from certain death something to be mocked. Made the most unattractive, unlikable, evil piece of shit of a female character a hero and to top it all off, self inserted himself to go broke back mountain on this bitch too. Druckman is such an arrogantly entitled piece of shit the devs hid an easter egg dissing him in LOU2.

I cant remember a JP developer being that insufferable in all my time. The guy that made lightening had a fixation sure. But come on, that was nowhere close to being as pretentious gay, soy filled and woke as druckman was with abby.

Ill throw you a bone and say the worst thing ive experienced with Nomuras name slapped on was Vincents NTR angst sessions in dirge, but he WAS NOT the director (Takayoshi Nakazato) OR the writer (Hiroki Chiba)
he was only the character designer. THATS IT.

I swear every time people see his name they just shut off their brains and think he makes the entire game by himself.

It's not terribly flattering. I still remember the crunch time horror stories and creative decisions he made to make the game his own personal serfdom.

Call me a fucking memberberry sucking retard, but it's got my interest, but I did enjoy the first one.

FF7 being a remake is a fucking lie and it's been made clear. It's a sequel with either alternate reality or time travel shenanigans or both.
 
7 Rebirth looks like its got more shit I wanted out of the last one in it. but I still don't understand what necessitated all of the changes. the first one's fine I liked it well enough, but I had a lot of "who is this for?" While playing it. It changed too much and relies too much on foreknowledge to be a replacement of the orginal, and doesn't go far enough into the story for any of the cool stuff to happen or to even get to some of the best characters so it didn't really work for me as an old fan either. I don't hate it like a lot of people, but I don't love it either.

True.

Though For all his many faults now, at least there was a point in time where he had a good team and ripped off a combination of good movies to make great games. I cant say the same for druckman.

To play full blown devils advocate, he left MGS in a better place then druckman did with LOU. (admittedly his original idea to end 4 with Snake and Otacon getting arrested and killed was stupid, but points for actually listening to his staff and changing it)

Kojima however is highly, HIGHLY overrated as a director. The man had a one in a million team and took advantage of it every chance he could. When he struck out from Konami you can tell there was no secret brilliance behind him. He's capable of decent ideas, but he isnt a character designer or a particularly innovative writer.

Really the difference between him and Nomura is that Kojima is a camera whore who over relies on his rep to get what he wants and respect from the heavy hitters in Hollywood. Nomura does not give a shit about that, he just wants to make cool games. Id even go so far as to call him humble in comparison.

Kojima is a descent idea man and can come up with interesting concepts. But when it comes to the actual minutiae of writing a story, such as a coherent plot, realistic dialogue, and descent character motivation, he fails. He also works best when he has someone to reign him in and keep him on track. Left to his own devices, he allows his ideas to get away from him.

Druckman is just a hack fraud who thinks too highly of himself and has his head stuck so far up his ass, he's practically learned to breath by huffing his own farts.
 
I don't know if I'm just retarded or what but during 2020 I played the entirety of the kingdom hearts series outside of the cell phone game and I literally comprehended almost nothing of the story after the first game. I liked the series overall but I was entirely blindsided by how convoluted a children's rpg series got. I wasn't like totally lost while playing them but I retained absolutely nothing about what any of them were about.

I insist, this is a sequel intended for anybody that played the original. People that never played FFVII can get a decent experience out of it but will miss a ton of nods. It's memberberries the sequel game, if you treat it like that and are on one hand keen to see nostalgic scenes in high fidelity and on the other intrigued on what the whole multi reality time loop shenanigans actually entails, you will have a good time, if any of those bits annoy you, you are better off looking into other stuff honestly.

Basically, if you expected a proper remake, this game will annoy the fuck out of you with it's weird divergences and if you expected something purely new, it will waste your time till it gets to those new bits.
 
it was lost in the outage so I present, once again, a good Aerith Dies joke. Most aren’t jokes but are just references after all.

So there's no Cid in the new trailer. I hope there's some stupid reason for that, like the execs think showing an old man will cause people to not want to buy the game.
But really, I wonder if they pushed his whole scenario further back and he won't show up until part 3.

Not impossible. He joins up and then right away the Temple of the Ancients is next. It is disjointed.
