Calls the game remake.Remake is a subtitle in the same sense that Rebirth is the subtitle to the sequel. Hence it not being called Remake part 2. The Remake trilogy is its own thing and although it's based on the story of the original game, it is NOT the original game. Which is why Rebirth will have NEW locations not in the original game.
Gives the player an eighth of the original.
It's a system that needs to either be reformed or to stop, honestly. Otherwise it's gonna cause the AAA market to crash.
I still like the original, but a 1:1 remake of it would be so boring. I love what they're doing with it now.
I love the revisionist history of people convincing themselves they didn't want a 1:1 remake when that's all anyone asked for.
I love the revisionist history of people convincing themselves they didn't want a 1:1 remake when that's all anyone asked for.Yes, because people are a monolith.

I love the revisionist history of people convincing themselves they didn't want a 1:1 remake when that's all anyone asked for.Thankfully we are all not a hive-mind, because I enjoyed practically every single thing they did with FF7 remake with my main hang-up being I am still waiting and seeing where the
Ok but do you realize.........it's not the PS1 version of the game.Your point? It's still weird that it's split into 3 games like this.
Your point? It's still weird that it's split into 3 games like this.Not if they have a story to tell
Your point? It's still weird that it's split into 3 games like this.
Your point? It's still weird that it's split into 3 games like this.you do realize lots of games release as trilogies, have sequels, the concept even predates gaming and movies etc. you are trying to complain about nothing, for no reason
They could've made two brand new FF games in that time but instead we have to retread a dumb, bloated multiverse version of FF7. Square has lost the plot.This is why on the one hand I would kill for a Xenogears remake with a proper second half, but on the other, I dont trust SE not to fuck it up and make some glorified tech demo with Devil May Cry combat and more cutscenes than Metal Gear Solid.

Yeah man absolutely no one wanted anything different and them expressing their opinions that differ from yours is definitely revisionist history.
Fuck outta here with that laughably arrogant horseshit.
People are still asking for it lol. You hear all the time "I'll wait until the version comes out where it's all one playable game"
Please. Were you even around in 05 when everyone began asking for a remake? Nobody said "man I sure hope we get a game that's so different from the original."
It's like everyone forgot what it was like after that PS3 tech demo.
According to the two weirdos above your post, that's not what people asked for.Clearly you have comprehension problems. I never said nobody asked for that. I said people aren't a monolith. Which means different people want different things. I never asked for a FF7 remake period. Some people did. Some people didn't. Some people wanted a 1:1 remake. Some people wanted change. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand different people want different things.
you do realize lots of games release as trilogies, have sequels, the concept even predates gaming and movies etc. you are trying to complain about nothing, for no reasonI'm not saying I mind, I'm saying it's usual to turn a remake of a single game into a trilogy.
I'm not saying I mind, I'm saying it's usual to turn a remake of a single game into a trilogy.Yeah but most remakes are not as expanded on like FFVII is
Yeah but most remakes are not as expanded on like FFVII isIs it? The story beats are largely the same time wise I believe, the padded out side content is what boosts the time.
Is it? The story beats are largely the same time wise I believe, the padded out side content is what boosts the time.how is expanding the content not expanding the game?
how is expanding the content not expanding the game?It's almost exclusively pointless fluff created with zero respect for your time.
It's almost exclusively pointless fluff created with zero respect for your time.according to R_Jackal
according to R_JackalThis is a serious contender for the most pointless post I've seen. Who else's opinion am I supposed to state except mine?
if people other than you didn't like it, people other than you wouldn't play it
It's almost exclusively pointless fluff created with zero respect for your time.I guess its easy to ignore the character development and world building eh?
I guess its easy to ignore the character development and world building eh?If you can't fit character development in to the main story you're a failure of a writer. I don't really care about the character development of random NPC #47 though.
If you can't fit character development in to the main story you're a failure of a writer. I don't really care about the character development of random NPC #47 though.That just comes off as arrogant as all hell dude.
And the world building in this game is absolute garbage unless you've followed pretty much every other FF7 piece of media available.
This is a serious contender for the most pointless post I've seen. Who else's opinion am I supposed to state except mine?When youre questioning if the game is expanded at all despite you ignoring all the expansion to the game, what else am I supposed to do other than point out the flaws in your opinion?
And stats wise, it says less than a quarter platinum the game. Little over half even clear the story. I doubt I'm alone in that sentiment, granted I could be, and I would still be fine with that. That's just the PS stats, too.
Edit: on steam, less than a third get through the main story and 1.7% complete it all, looks like.
Is it? The story beats are largely the same time wise I believe, the padded out side content is what boosts the time.It is.
And the world building in this game is absolute garbage unless you've followed pretty much every other FF7 piece of media available.The original FF7 was the only thing I played before this one and I thought it was great.
That just comes off as arrogant as all hell dude.I'm a writing snob and I don't think I've ever hidden that, really. FF7Remake is basically a fanfiction tier mess on the writing front.
I'm a writing snob and I don't think I've ever hidden that, really. FF7Remake is basically a fanfiction tier mess on the writing front.So the standard JRPG story.
So the standard JRPG story.The ones I play are usually less battle shonen tier writing, but I guess in the grand scheme of things.
When youre questioning if the game is expanded at all despite you ignoring all the expansion to the game, what else am I supposed to do other than point out the flaws in your opinion?I'm questioning the value in those expansions. I can stuff a pillow until I can no longer put my head on it while lying down, but that doesn't mean I've done something meaningful.
The ones I play are usually less battle shonen tier writing, but I guess in the grand scheme of things.Yeah thats not what your post read as.

Yeah thats not what your post read as.Fine, to alliterate better... An average playthrough of FF7 ran about 40 to 60 hours, I would say?
Fine, to alliterate better... An average playthrough of FF7 ran about 40 to 60 hours, I would say?But that would still be wrong because of the fact that expanding something isnt necessarily a time based thing. Because again story and characters were developed more and expanded on.
Pretty sure my first run through Remake i hit about 25ish hours on strictly main quest stuff, essentially. So across three games I would wager the time to complete won't be terribly different for a story run.
So the question is "did they expand the game?" And to me, the answer is no, not really. They've simply modernized or altered, not expanded.
But that would still be wrong because of the fact that expanding something isnt necessarily a time based thing. Because again story and characters were developed more and expanded on.They seem more or less authentic to their previous iterations to me, just modernized for storytelling today. Side characters got a bit more attention, but it ultimately didn't amount to anything in the Remake honestly, maybe it will in Rebirth.
It's almost exclusively pointless fluff created with zero respect for your time.If you don't want side content, why are you playing RPGs?
If you don't want side content, why are you playing RPGs?I like side content done well, I don't like side content done poorly. I love RPGs in general. The useless side quest padding is basically just a recent trend though, since companies tried stuffing MMORPG quests in to everything.
First game was fantastic and the second looks to be the same.
Stay mad about it I guess?
People are still whining about this?
People like to get screwed by evil companies?Define evil here.
