I've never been a fan of Final Fantasy 7, I wish they'd move on from it. I know it's not all the same game, but between remakes and spin-offs etc, I feel like there's been a dozen ff7 related games out there
I think 7 has a much more relevant story that resonates with this cluster of generations though. I've never been a fan of it but I appreciated the remake and crisis core was a fun psp game and it was my only psp game.
The story though somehow takes government in bed with corporate greed, the climate change, and how greed and people in power continue to exploit and cause damage. Then they wrap it up in the perfect fantasy allegory that can translate through decades. It's basically been post-Regan consequences in an escalating nutshell.
Along with that being touted as the best game simply because in 97 it was ground breaking. Like I don't think if Mikcey mouse would be such a cultural icon if it came out 5 years ago instead of uh... wow damn nearly 100? Woah.
Oh shit yeah eta all that said yeah I really didn't enjoy the original but found the remake fun and appreciated the plot line of that uh... episode? Season?
And its not even the best FF game!!
I have soft spot for FF8 myself
The graphics were a DRASTIC CHANGE dude! And the mini game was fun! I replayed both during covid and 8 was definitely much more fun.
I hated those cartoony, blocky graphics in 7 so I really liked the graphics for 8. And the music in 8 is really memorable too.
ff8 was... Something...
It was good, the second half of the game was really "wtf"-inducing for me.
Overall I'm a FFVI fan to the core, 3D era has to be FFIX. Never cared much for FFVII
I haven't played even a quarter of the trash Square Enix put out after final fantasy 7. They've ruined my favorite childhood game with a remake that is a reimagining of the game (but they marketed part one as a remake, basically lying about what it was). And yeah, now I kinda wish they would too.
They kept darts and squats and just as bad as I remember them being too. The impression I got from playing the main game was that Ff7r isn't really a remake so much as an intro to a sequel in a sort of steins gate alternate world line kind of way. With some flashbacks to things that never happened as far as I could remember at least, and presumably not that the characters experiencing them could either.
Yeah, they changed the story quiet a bit. I had been following the development pretty closely with the remake part 1, and any news about its release. I remember thinking it would be the same game, but updated graphics, modern combat for a more modern audience, and removing/changing situations that didn't age very well.
Turned out what they actually did was completely change the story, and fluff up Midgard with pointless shit to extend ut to 40 hours.
All of that after saying they couldn't possibly put the whole game into one single disk experience.
Lol yeah the disk space is bullshit, and the game is quite filler-y. I guess they had to increase how much of the players time they wasted after having reduced the battle grinding.
I vaguely recall something about making it 3 discs something something throwback to the original, but it really seems like a more presentable version of release now, finish later. This way they can release a third of a game at an appalling 100 cad, then do it again two more times later, and fewer people will complain because the game didn't bug out or under deliver like all the latest hype games seem to.
Having played it free via steam library sharing though I still enjoyed it. If I had to pay that idiotic price for a third of a game at best I wouldn't have even played it.
