The original was just beyond perfection. It is my favorite creation in any entertainment medium I can think of (books, music, TV, movies, other video games). I still get a lump in my throat just thinking about it. To say my life changed since I first played it woule be a staggering understatement. It opened my eyes to the world of video games, that it could tell a compelling, emotional, gripping epic. It hit me over the head, and I still can't get over it, 20+ years later.

The new one will be pretty. That's pretty much it.

You're not a child anymore, and you already know the major story beats. Of COURSE it isn't going to have the same emotional impact. That'd be true of any remake.

Considering its only the first 25-35% of the actual story. I agree.

Disagreed. I played Crisis Core and all of the that game hit me hard emotionally. I have no doubt Remake will hit me hard again as well.

Disagree. That being said...

We already know most of what is probably going to happen so....yeah... It probably wouldn't be as impactful for us just because we know so much already.

But for people who've never played FF7 before and haven't somehow been spoiled to death over it, it'll be just as big as the OG, if not bigger.

Very much false.

With the story being expanded as a whole (thanks to each installation having the content of a full game), you'll have more time to get to know & get attached to the characters. Heck, some characters in the original (like Jessie, Biggs, Wedge) had so little screen time that you barely got to know a thing about them... in this one, they'll have more time to shine.

Course it won't. You already had your sightread experience. That's not an issue with the game it's just an issue with you

It's like me saying none of these Ace Attorney Trilogy re-releases will recapture the thrills of the original when I've already beaten the games and know all the culprits.

Completely agree.

FF7 spoilers, duh -

It's going to hit so much harder when the drop the plate on Sector 7 now since we're going to get to know so many of the people now. Just from the demo I already really like Jessie a lot more, so yeah, it's going to hit hard.
