Gotta say, didn't make a great first impression on me as someone who despises gacha games. They've gone full mobile game and it just puts a bad taste in my mouth. But it's still FFVII so I'm gonna try and stomach it. I dislike how they didn't bother doing English VA but goddamn is it pretty.

Anyone else downloaded it yet?

I downloaded it last night but haven't had a chance to play yet. Don't really need another gacha in my life but if it's fun we'll see.

Well it's a gacha game, it's free I assume, so I guess I could try it, but the experience of starting a gacha has usually been at least as bad as continuing to play it.

Nah the beginning is usually good with gacha because they need to hook you so they throw a bunch of free shit at you. It's when the content slows to a crawl or you hit a wall that it starts to suck.

I enjoy Gachas and this is a good one of them IMO! So far at least. There's some kind of co-op mode so once I figure out how to add friends I would add some of you <_<

Like, the japanese Gacha market is maybe the most saturated it's ever been, as far as simultaneous successful products at least. We've got a ton of legacy games still going strong, hugely successful new blood, and upcoming games from the biggest gacha developers that are sure to be hits.

And here's Square, a company who is extremely famous for shutting down all of it's live service games, releasing a gacha that is barely marketed, and what little marketing there is is that it's a remake of a single player game that already had an ongoing AAA remake.

Even if a person was desperate for SPECIFICALLY a new turn based gacha RPG and loved FF7, I don't see how a reasonable individual would look at, say, Star Rail for the obvious current example, and go "yeah I'm going to chose this awkward pseudo remake with mediocre production values that won't last a year".

And if you're just wanting to play it for it being FF7....you probably aren't thrilled about it being a fucking Gacha!

No such thing as a good gacha. It's an inherently immoral evil practice. But some games can be fun irregardless of the gacha element. It's just few and far between.

Sure there are! I have a nice time playing them without spending basically any money (if I enjoy the game I'll get the season pass, which isn't an unreasonable cost for something I'll play daily)

Downloaded it and played enough to trigger the actual download (hate that mobile games do this), will play it for real tomorrow evening, see whether I wanna keep going. The lack of controller support is a bit disappointing though. I know they're planning to add episodes monthly, wonder if they'll focus on Crisis Core until it's done or just start adding new entries and have you bounce around them.

Gacha is a downside but the F2P experience of Star Rail could be compared favorably to full-scale console RPGs as late as the PS3 I think.

Out of combat it looks like a PSP game. I guess it's OK in a vacuum, but the standards of it's contemporaries has risen.

Not wrong! Just not something you really see much nowadays.

I think this game will be interesting if they eventually add playable episodes for Advent Children too. Maybe they can fix that story by making it playable.

They are. It's going to include every single piece of content from the Compilation of FFVII.

Apparently it's available on PC through the Google Play Games beta.

I'm mostly interested in this because it's supposed to adapt Before Crisis. Is that in there yet? Do you have to play all the story stuff in order, or can I ignore Crisis Core until I've finished the real game?

so far it's just FF7, Crisis Core, and The First Soldier. You unlock access to the latter two after a few chapters and then can play any of them in any order I think

Looks like I was wrong about this, I can't progress further in FF7 until I beat a certain chapter in First Soldier, which I can't even play until I beat a certain chapter in Crisis Core.
