I haven’t played even a quarter of the trash Square Enix put out after final fantasy 7. They’ve ruined my favorite childhood game with a remake that is a reimagining of the game (but they marketed part one as a remake, basically lying about what it was). And yeah, now I kinda wish they would too.
They kept darts and squats and just as bad as I remember them being too. The impression I got from playing the main game was that Ff7r isn’t really a remake so much as an intro to a sequel in a sort of steins gate alternate world line kind of way. With some flashbacks to things that never happened as far as I could remember at least, and presumably not that the characters experiencing them could either.
Yeah, they changed the story quiet a bit. I had been following the development pretty closely with the remake part 1, and any news about its release. I remember thinking it would be the same game, but updated graphics, modern combat for a more modern audience, and removing/changing situations that didn’t age very well.
Turned out what they actually did was completely change the story, and fluff up Midgard with pointless shit to extend ut to 40 hours.
All of that after saying they couldn’t possibly put the whole game into one single disk experience.
Lol yeah the disk space is bullshit, and the game is quite filler-y. I guess they had to increase how much of the players time they wasted after having reduced the battle grinding.
I vaguely recall something about making it 3 discs something something throwback to the original, but it really seems like a more presentable version of release now, finish later. This way they can release a third of a game at an appalling 100 cad, then do it again two more times later, and fewer people will complain because the game didn’t bug out or under deliver like all the latest hype games seem to.
Having played it free via steam library sharing though I still enjoyed it. If I had to pay that idiotic price for a third of a game at best I wouldn’t have even played it.
