the original game does not cease to exist, you know.

I'd ask you to see my reply.... but apparently someone decided that it was a spoiler and decided to report it for spoiling.... in a game that is nearly 30 years old, in a chat about the game and its remake.... So let me rephrase and say the base story shouldn't be touched in any remake to a game. You can expand on things, but keep the general story the same.

Well if you played Shenmue 1 and 2 back in the day, you loved those games dearly. They end on a cliffhanger. When they announced they were finally making 3 fifteen years later, it was a pretty big deal.

Did you reference that scene? Because that's absolutely a spoiler for those that never played the original FF7

A lot of the internet is a vocal minority who mistake their loudness as being something that represents demand.

Shenmue 3 was very much an example of that. Final Fantasy VII Remake also is as well in a way. I remember when people hyped it up as Square-Enix 'Break Glass in case of emergency' game and overall sales are just okay.

Yeah, to my mistake I referenced that scene. I mistakenly believed that people bitching and complaining about FF7s remake and how they ruined it would have played the original.

Oh. I asked cuz I thought the reception to 3 was lukewarm, and that it ended on a cliffhanger, but I didn't know the first two games also ended on a cliffhanger

Yeah unfortunately they fumbled the bag hard on 3.

You asked if it was a "dream game" I'm assuming because Punished_Blinx said it was part of the "E3 of Dreams"

Which isn't to say those all turned out to be masterpieces. But rather for being in the moment, those games being just announced was absolutely legendary.

Its interesting because the Persona 3 remake was incredibly faithful to the original, even TOO faithful at times, yet still got a lot of shit from fans of the original because not everything was exactly the same.

It just kinda shows that remakes are always gonna get shit from certain fans no matter what they do

Has it really? The only hate I've seen was the fact that they're adding the Aigis epilogue as paid dlc after they said in an interview that it wouldn't be in the game

It's definitely a whole lot easier, & Fuuka's voice is a massive upgrade to her original, other than that it's a pretty good remake. I would never have spent 69$ on it, I had game pass ultimate 3 months free, but I'm not sure why it would be hated unless it's talking about difficulty or the QoL changes

  1. a spoiler is a spoiler
  2. for games that can have 100+ hours of playtime each a simple "expand on things" isn't going to cut it. why would I want to play a trilogy of games for over 300+ hours when I just know what's going to happen anyway? in this case they pretty much NEEDED to change things up to get people to want and keep playing the games

I hope you haven't bought a video game in 25 years if "There's environments in between the towns and the combat" is a tacky dealbreaker. What an odd opinion.

Why are you even on this website? Why do you even think about video games? Fucking Oblivion might be a little too modern and cluttered for you.

It cracks me up when people say they just wanted the same game with better visuals.

Like you're telling me that people saw that PS3 tech demo and didn't want a high fidelity Midgar to explore? C'mon.

Interesting. I guess I missed all of that by not really following it. I admit I'm part of the problem in the fandom. I haven't actually bought the Persona 3 remake yet, despite thinking it looked good lol (But to be fair, it was my least favorite of the modern games. The final act really dragged on).

I'll have to look into what's worse about Tartarus though. Everything I read about it sounded like welcome improvements.

I'll admit, when I heard some of the voices and listened to a few of the songs in Reload I was kinda iffy.

But everything eventually grew on me. In addition I think Tartarus in Reload is better now.

If I have anything negative to say it feels a bit easier than the OG and FES.

You put quotes around something I didn't say.
Oblivion or any Elder Scrolls isn't my thing graphically, but they're good so I played them quite a bit.
As you alluded to, there are other games. Do you mind if I visit boards on this website for games I like and games I don't like? And comment on any I choose as long as I'm not insulting users? And may I please not enjoy the end product that is FF7R or FF7R?

They did bring in the baton pass from Persona 5. Linked episodes giving party members new mechanics and tweaks to their skills. Yukari's pretty much makes her an OP healer with SP reduction to her healing skills. Theurgy also give the chance for heavy damage once charged up.

Just having full party control makes it easier by default id say. A lot of quality of life was added, but the enemies werent exactly changed enough to adjust to the player having more options. I agree that its easier than FES.

However, I still think its a great remake that people were freaking out about because they wouldnt give the new stuff a chance

Like you would go outside.

Reducing the image down to better graphics is hilarious. The first image is something I want to explore. This is a living vibrant world that feels very fleshed out and interesting. In that exploration I guarantee there are numerous things to discover and do. Also, selling the idea of the world feeling real and being immersed in it is so much more than just wow pretty graphics.

Gamers reducing everything down to a narrow view and being super pessimistic, yet another day that ends in Y.


So you can walk on the aqueduct and find the church on top of the mountain in the remake?

Also anybody who says that is talking about the story.

it's not like the FF7 remake was shadow dropped. if people were interested in the games, they KNEW that the gameplay would be different and that the story would not be 100% exactly like the originals. they interviewed the staff months before the game released and they confirmed all of this. mountains of video footage was released to show how the game would look. the battle system was known from almost the very start to be a real-time action battle system. this was NOT going to be the original game, and everyone knew that before the first part released.

so if these people knew about all these changes yet still bought and played the game and STILL complained about all those things, then I have no reason to take them seriously. Honestly, they are clearly hate-playing the games just to complain at this point...

and also people IN THIS TOPIC complained about the graphics, so stop saying that no one did.
