Too bad I won't be playing it...

I'll just crawl back into my man cave and keep playing the first title...

So Final Fantasy VII "Remake" (first title of the sequel trilogy)
or it's prequel from the Playstation 1 era, Final Fantasy VII?

I'm thankful it's not on PS4, the old machine will just hold it back.

 

[AngryCinnabon]

Probably won't play this until it eventually/hopefully gets a PC release later on lol...Yes I'm aware how long that may be,

 

[The Catboy]

I am not playing this, tired of contributing to the constant milking of FF7

 

[Plazorn]

While I think the original Final Fantasy VII is superior, I spent about 100 hours in Remake. I think this sequel could provide this as well. Also, I have to know… what happens to Aerith?

*looks at my PS3*

 

[ZeroFX]

I don't play censored "remakes". On PC, pirated with mods though, I'd give it a chance.

 

[Jayinem]

Playing it now.

The 3rd part will probably be on PS6, a remake spanning 3 generations lol.

On one hand everyone whines about that there are no good games anymore but when they release a good one they find pseudoreasons not to play it because obviously its better to sit high on the pseudo-moral horse than having fun playing a great game .

I do understand the miscontent about it being exclusively for ps5 because not everyone can afford to always have the latest console. I guess it will take about 1-2 years for this game to release on PC. The question is if the ones not able to afford a PS5 do have a PC powerful enough to play it.

I for one am thrilled to play it next week. Sadly got no time until then.

 

[ov3rkill]

Geez. This trailer is giving us the death flag for Aerith. That or it's just misdirection for something of an epic climax and I'm hoping for the latter.

History shows us that new console's success highly depends on exclusives.
Zelda, Halo, FF...

Square did a clever move, bringing the very same popular IP for each new SONY installment.


Why not play a good game instead of ranting 'older is better' ?
Well, here is a catch, FF7 remake was bad. I mean, really, really bad. I tried, wanted to like it, but the corridors, padding and convoluted storytelling with watered down baddies...Humpf. Gorgeous, yes, but not fun at all.

I expected AT LEAST challenging side missions like Crisis Core and its strategic chara building on hard mode, I had a glimpse of hope with the Shiva optional battle and after that...Nothing happened.



On the other hand, while I am a dumb 8ter, streams popping here and there give me a REALLY good impression on this game. FF7 was an openworld really enjoyable after Midgar, and here we have it.

I must admit, FF7:Rebirth looks way better than FF7:Remake gameplay wise.

I picked up Remake when it was on sale for $15 this past holiday. I finally got around to trying it out and it is HORRIBLE.

You know how Netflix keeps releasing these live-action adaptations of anime and everybody has a field day with memes about how dumb they are? That's EXACTLY what Remake is. I would love to know why people roast those Netflix things, but not this game. Maybe because their parents don't pay for their subscription to the game? LOL.

Half of Remake is slowly squeezing through tight spaces just to get to the next bit of gameplay or story (likely these are just fancy loading screens, but slowing down gameplay this much should be a sin in modern gaming). 20% of the game is the characters, having finally squeezed through to the next highly detailed area, slowly staring at your next very obvious goal and commenting about it at length. The rest of the game is then running through those classic FFVII setpieces while NPCs run around you (usually in the opposite direction, lol) and unconvincingly pretend to be really upset about terrorists. I can't believe it, but they actually turned Twitter into a live-action video game.

The main draw of the game is seeing the world of Final Fantasy VII (which, in their defense, was the most compelling thing about VII, whose script was always pretty weak) in painstakingly faithful detail. The hope is that you'll push past all the boring stuff just to see the next setpiece. This almost worked with me - landing on Costa Del Sol and hearing that dope song after wading through hours of creepy sci-fi nightmares in the original was SICK! I'd love to experience all that again, gloriously remade... but I can't even finish Remake. There really is just one answer - go back and play the original and let everyone else have their fun.

6 hours in and it's a pretty fun so far. A lot of things to do and see as the game world is way bigger than Remake was. I went off the path to explore straight away. AIso I enjoyed Remake for what it was, even know it's not really a "Re"make per se.

 

[HinaNaru Cutie]

ew.... not gonna touch this.

 

[NinStar]

The entire idea of a remake "trilogy" of the same game is stupid and I'm still baffled by the fact people are fine with this.

 

[Paolosworld]

I'm CONVINCED that 99% of the remake fans never played the original.

I was going to pirate FF7 Remake Intergrade or w/e it's called, then I seen the file size of like 100+gb, and noped out.
