However, if you close your eyes for a second and pretend this is a standalone game and not a remake, a lot of the plot doesn't make sense since a large chunk of the game's subtext is missing and takes that the player played the original for granted... Thirdly, while i'm sure this is set up in the sequel (or INTERmission)... nothing about the ghosty goos has mattered in any way and doesn't make any sense when it really could have... ~~at no point do you or the characters use some sort of meta-knowledge of the future to warrant the Desinty Dinks from existing in this game even as a concept.~~ --- "Salt cures Everything!"

darkknight109 08/21/22 3:21:08 PM #3:	I found FF7R to be exceedingly average. The combat engine was clunky (it would have worked fine for a game focused on a single character, but the fact you need to be constantly switching between characters and/or giving them orders for what to do and what spells to cast if you want your teammates to do anything more than chip damage is a major nuisance and basically leaves the player micromanaging too many things so they don't get a chance to actually, y'know, focus on and enjoy the fighting) and the pacing of the plot was awful (big surprise when you took what used to be maybe 10 hours of plot and stretch it out to be at least 4x as long). It also did this weird thing where it kept bringing up plot tangents, then never delivering the payout. For instance, partway through the game you wind up turning off a bunch of sun-lamps for the undercity in order to open some doors (which was itself a major "WTF" moment for several reasons) - Tifa says it will cause suffering and misery for those below, while Barret says it's justified for the greater good. I figured eventually the game would expound upon this and we'd eventually see the consequences of what had happened - maybe hear from someone in the slums about how it affected them or see some news report on it or something... but no, the game just never bothers to return to that original plot point and not a single person ever brings it up again. Then there's the characters. The game is just terrible at managing any characters who aren't in the main party. In the original FF7, Jesse, Biggs, and Wedge are basically named extras who exist to ~~add some extra emotional impact to the Sector 7 disaster~~. In the Remake, they're turned into extra characters that you spend double-digit hours hanging out with, but the game still doesn't bother to actually give them any decent characterization. Biggs is "cool guy who helps out at an orphanage", Wedge is "fat, emotionally sensitive guy that everyone makes fun of who really likes cats", and Jesse is "girl who desperately wants Cloud's buster sword in her materia slot". And that's it, that's literally their entire characterization. If you're going to spend that much time with these characters, at least make them into something with some actual substance. They don't even have any real relationships with other characters - we get no sense of what they think of each other, of Barret's leadership, so on and so forth. The game also introduces this string of characters that it kinda sorta seems to want to treat as important, despite not giving us much of a reason to care about them. That weird biker SOLDIER who shows up twice then never again, Don Corneo's bodyguard that has a backstory now for some reason, the thief-girl (not to be confused with the other thief-girl that's been a major fixture in FF7 since the original released), so on and so forth. The game just feels like it lacked any sense of narrative cohesion. The game wasn't completely awful - the visuals were stunning, the ambience was fantastic, the soundtrack was amazing, and when the game actually pulled its head out of its ass and got out of its own way, you can see there is the core of a decent game somewhere underneath all the bloat. But as a successor to one of the most acclaimed games of all time, it falls well short of the mark. Dunkey gave a really good review on the game just after it released (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qlf3b9wa4s) and I agree with him on just about everything he mentioned. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

The sun lamps thing was resolved, Barret wasn't just saying it's justified - but that they're gunna go out when they blow the reactor anyways so there's no problem manually disabling them. I had the opposite opinion of the side characters - I like that the extras got so much more air time and personality, especially Heidegger. But they don't need additional relations because Cloud don't care But you're right about narrative cohesion. Even if the ghosties didn't exist, they removed too much world building that helped contextualized the plot... but that only applies to a standalone, if you are playing under the assumption you already played FF7 then they cut out a lot of unneeded redundant worldbuilding, making up for it which amazing vistas and mostly better vignettes (I think some of the OG vignettes might be better). But when you throw the ghosties in... ya, they are all throughout the game and don't affect the PLOT until the last 15 minutes of the game --- "Salt cures Everything!"

SpeedDemon20 08/22/22 4:54:45 AM #11:	I think the gameplay is fun. Wish we had more materia options though. Sucks we only get one magnify/all. I generally keep it on Aerith, but when she's not in the party, it's shuffle-city rearranging everyone's materials. I really like the weapon upgrade system. Seems kinda tame right now with boring upgrades. Hoping for more unique ones in the future. I like that none of your weapons become useless, unlike in old JRPGs where the next area will have better weapons. As for combat, Tifa is probably the most fun to play; she's so fast compared to everyone else. She feels so good compared to everyone else. Cloud is fun too, but I mostly enjoy punisher mode counter and counterstance. Aerith is amazing for clearing mobs, but not as fun on hard mode when you have to conserve MP. I made it to an end-chapter boss with no MP. I had to cheese it by putting up a shield and soul draining until I was full (one of those bosses where you need to rotate magic spells a lot to build pressure). Her basic combo sucks though. Barret is boring. Just hold attack and then charge until overcharge is full. Lifesaver and steelskin are great buffs, but it's just so you can play the other two characters for longer. idk maybe I should be doing melee Barret or something. He just doesn't feel fun. Overall, I enjoy the game. The dementors and Sephiroth stuff was dumb though. --- http://orig14.deviantart.net/59f8/f/2009/047/4/9/rylai_crestfall_by_eyue.jpg Crystal Maiden... gal could break your heart in a thousand pieces. -Rucks <cite>SpeedDemon20 posted [p:967482508] in I'm at (pr...

I just watched the speedrun of FF7 (og) which was beaten just under 7 hours (or just under 8 hours, I don't remember)... and Midgar is legitimately 1/3 of the run, not quite a half though, maybe like 3/7ths Once you leave Midgar; Kalm is skipped, zolom is skipped, then you do Goldsaucer+Corel, then Cosmo Canyon is skipped with frame manipulation (saving like an hour), then you're already in Rocket Town and then temple of the ancients and such... the last third of the speedrun is just doing master materia quests and failing them as fast as possible (except the corel train which is faster to win) and cutscenes. --- "Salt cures Everything!"

SpeedDemon20 08/29/22 3:26:32 AM #31:	I just got all the resolution scenes. Now I just need to get the manuscripts for Barret (which coincides with all the hard chapters remaining). The monsters I am missing is the "hit-em-when-his-tail-is-up... and you will get lasered" boss and the extra one from playing Yuffie's DLC.
