Did you? Did you actually play half of one game 5 years ago and have since watched all the cutscenes and plot details for both the rest of remake AND all of rebirth, a game you've never touched?
Stop moving the damn goal post. You go on about the remakes take on the characters being bad, but since you yourself admitted you stopoed playing like midway through the beginning of these new games' story now you are shifting to talking about the battle system. That is another discussion from the one you talked about previously. =/
yeah its clear i cant have looked up the cutscenes read the story synopsis or anything
dont critique media just consume
"you only played half of a game that was boring you your not allowed to critique it"
a game with combat that sucks
Dont bring up Queens Blood. I hated it and eventually quit bothering with it.Sorry. =(
As I said before, "its different so it sucks". Let's be real, if you now are shifting to battle system talk then your mind was most likely made up on this one the moment it was announced FF7 remake was trying something different.
No one said you're not allowed to.
But you're speaking incredibly confidently about games you haven't actually played. People are allowed to be skeptical of your takes on the games.
which does not really impact things i had hoped it would i had hoped the 2nd game would radically alter the plot change character fates but it dont
i HAVE played it i can fucking prove i played remake if you want
and you are factually wrongThe game is made in a way where you have to constantly use your ATB stocks to create combinations for building stagger, damage multipliers, and finally max DPS. Its a system that cannot work if the AI works like it does in action jrpgs like tales of or star ocean.
yes i do prefer actual turn based game play over what 7 has
but i gave it a fair shot
and i just found its game play bad
your partners do jack shit unless you manually instruct them which would be fine if the menu AUTOMATICALLY POPPED P when they could act
but no i have to manually bring up their menu
this one little thing ruins the combat for me
(Spoilers)God, FF7's writing hasn't once been good in the twenty+ years since the original came out. The Compilation is a fucking blight and I was right to fear its noxious influence would infect the not-remake.

You are intended to be constantly swapping between party members yourself and activating their character abilities (like aerith's shield and ATB ward for example). The game also encourages this via the enemies switching their focus to who you are controlling.
Its a system that combined with how materia works (and in rebirth your synergy skills and abilities) has more depth than any mainline final fantasy game had before it.
29 hours into a game is not enough time to judge it i guessI mean I can have 29 hours logged idling in a menu. That says nothing about me actually finishing a game. *or in this discussions' case claim to know about the story and the amount of new character focus in detail past the point of the game I completely stopped playing at.*

and i dont find that kind of combat funThat is totally fair imo.
if they want to go this action rout id prefer it play like a tales of game where my party members just use thier moves on their own
but again id prefer it if a menu just popped up when they where ready to use a move

Rebirth added materia that allow your party members to do this
thats good to hear thoe needing to waste a materia slot on it sounds annoying
Remake definitely had parts that felt like they were dragging due to their linearity and "puzzles". I get that they wanted to expand on the Midgar experience, but they could have gone about it in a better way. Like when you get to the tail end of the game you can more freely move about, I think that should have been in more of the game.I will say that I dont think that second sewer trip in chapter 14 was needed. Integrating the novel FF7 characters like Leslie, the guardian angel and kyrie is fine, but for that chapter 14 section they could have done something way more interesting than what we got.
Rebirth was a lot better in that regard. I didn't have any issues with it's pacing, but I know a lot of people did such as with the side content. IIRC, they're working on improving the pacing for part 3.

bro Im scared to think how the final boss will be structured in part 3.
took me forever to beat that fucker in Rebirth! i thought it would never end! lol
Swapping characters as a mechanic is not fun when I dont like having to work with characters mechanic. I hated playing as Red, Cait, and even Aerith. Tifa and Yuffie were the only characters I actually liked using.
and you are factually wrongLol you dont like engaging with the game mechanics. Go play Raid if you want a game that plays itself.

I do wonder what the stakes are actually going to be for the final boss in the third part since the team has already beaten Sephiroth in a million phase boss fight in space twice
I do wonder what the stakes are actually going to be for the final boss in the third part since the team has already beaten Sephiroth in a million phase boss fight in space twiceI mean, if any story has the potential to make you fight like a hundred of the bad guy, this is it.

they beat Sephiroth twice and still couldnt get rid of him.
i suppose third time is the charm... lol
oh yeah, forgot about themultiversepart.
its gonna be a clusterfuck for sure! lol
alsoAerith dying/not dyingand is cloud actuallyseeing her or is he hallucinating or is is just timelines merging

I don't understand how the pacing for the third game won't be a disaster, it took them two games just to tackle about 40% of the plot.Disc 2 and 3 are pretty fast paced.
took me forever to beat that fucker in Rebirth! i thought it would never end! lolSo annoying how I had Assess on several characters, but of course one of the fights had the one damn layout where no one had Assess. So my journal is forever incomplete because I did not want to go through that again lol.
