Current Events > Final Fantasy 7 chopped up in 3 parts, released over 8 years.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Calls the game remake.

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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

It's almost exclusively pointless fluff created with zero respect for your time.

according to R_Jackal

if people other than you didn't like it, people other than you wouldn't play it

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.

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?

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.

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.

So the standard JRPG story.

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?

The ones I play are usually less battle shonen tier writing, but I guess in the grand scheme of things.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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?
