What went right?

It's an anime ass game that's for sure but so was the original. It's just hearing the dialogue out loud, seeing everything animated that caught me off guard. I still enjoyed it, found I had to get used to looking at the hp/atb bar and it was no problem after that. All the modes seemed to have a use in certain situations, using both characters was fun. I'm surprised it is using the whole stagger mechanic from 13 which could turn people off especially those that didn't like it in the first place. Fortunately I did. Haven't played an FF since 13 so I look forward to playing this one when it goes on sale.

No game journalists actually love it lmao, just that Kotaku dumbass hated it, and if Kotaku doesn't like it, that means they did good.

cloud and barrets designs and writing

I do fucking love how you can send enemies flying with your sword way more satisfying than XV's combat

>a great time for Final Fantasy
How the hell is a remake of a 23 years old game a great time for a franchise.

Same way that it is for Resident Evil.

Yes because he is autistic

Yes, considering she's my wife and not yours.

looks like ffxiii gameplay
gonna be funny when its praised by the same people that hated that game

So the potentially good game, FF XVI, is years off so we can have tired retreads instead? You're right, the analogy fits.

>looks like ffxiii gameplay

Fun battles.

It really is. It's better than the Japanese banter which is all pretty generic.

NOOOOOO EVERYONE HAS TO LIKE THE GAME I HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED

He used whitewashing correctly.

shut up retard

It only borrows stagger mechanic from XIII to work with weaknesses and damagesponges

And people didnt hate XIII for the combat

I used your mom correctly.

No but it does mean he's retarded and bad at his job.

that's fucking pathetic

Just don't post in the future and you won't have any chance to embarrass yourself

Holt shit, it plays like XIII? I am actually excited and I don't give a fuck about the original. I sure as played all 3 XIII games.

You're right. I'm so used to people using white washing to refer to casting white actors as non-white characters that I actually forgot some of its other meanings.

you haven't played the demo

I wish it were possible for an eventual Berserk mod where you could cleave dudes apart.

you can put commands for Barret in Cloud's shortcuts, so you can command Barret via a shortcut while actively fighting as Cloud

pleasr stop being retarded

That seems to be the trend, and it's one that I welcome.

No jump button
no directional inputs and manual finishers
No weapon switching
No iframes on dodge roll making it pointless
dodge roll itself is slow as fuck especially on barret
No manual aiming even for barret
Magic does fuckall compared to the magic in XV which is extremely powerful and varied
Everything is piss weak then the boss is a damage sponge just for padding with the shitty ff13 stagger to artificially lengthen the fight
cloud and barret combined can do less than noctis alone
also based on leaks there's no counter parry by default like xv, instead it's a wasted materia slot way later in the game for cloud
On classic mode every single enemy was killed without even touching the controller, including the scorpion.
On normal mode every single enemy was killed by mashing one button

Being mad isn't an argument

Fuck i wanna play this so bad but I never played original ff7 so I've ignored everything that has to do with the remake because I dont want to be like the zoomers who annoyed me when they played RE2make without playing the original. But after doom and RE3make I'll playing original ff7, I promise.

neither is being wrong

Kill yourself Barry.

If you're just looking to get through the story, the recent ports of FFVII have built in cheats that let you cheese your way through the combat. You should easily be able to get through that in a week or two.

Can't wait for all the trap cloud doujins. God I just want to fuck his ass.

How many episodes are there supposed to be, anyway? 2? Or 3 whole games?

Lord I want a Berserk game with these animations holy shit they're good. Fast and yet weighty

I found the controls a bit clunky but does he not see the time meter

My three major complaints are that your partners ai is stupid Barret should know to fight out of range enemies first, we don't know how many games there will be, and the most important is that they are changing the fucking story

>playing a remake for the story

How long would a first playthrough of the original take without cheats? After doom and RE3make theres no games that come to mind that I want for the rest of the year beside those and ff7 remake. So my game time is totally open after april.

How is it back to basics when they changed the game's genre

What you said doesn't make sense and even less so if they are changing it

The story has to change.

They are making a game about 1 section of disc 1 of the original

...they didn't though? Just because the characters aren't standing in a row and waiting for their turn to hit or get hit doesn't mean that it's not a JRPG.

It still went from Turn Based to full Action, that seems like a pretty decently sized change to me

Cloud and Barret sound almost how I imagined, it looks great, and I had fun playing it.

>Cid___.
you've got my attention

Cant wait for Cid limit break saying "AHHHH IM TOO OLD FOR THIS HORSESHIT" before boost jump

As someone who has never played the original, I feel no desire to actually buy this. Not because I'm disinterested, but because I'm aware that it's not the full story. I'm not saying it's a small game, but I can't justify paying 60 dollars for something that is going to leave me on a cliff hanger for maybe three more years until I have to spend 60 dollars again to know how the plot resolves. And maybe another 60 dollars after that if there's a third remake.
They should've made it one big remake that's as long as a normal Final Fantasy, like a normal Final Fantasy. Splitting it off like this actively makes me NOT want to play it. And it's not even a money thing. It's just because I have to wait another decade before I get to know how it ends.

Maybe I'm just retarded.

It's not though. There's a mode where you can wait for the ATB gauge to fill, and then pick an attack, the only difference is that the characters are running around doing shit while you wait.

>one guy = all game journalists

Let me ask you this: how does it feel to be part of the losers club? It must be incredibly sad. I am a real Final Fantasy VII fan. I've been with this game since day one. I, unlike you fake Final Fantasy VII fans, have that certified badge. You on the other hand came from God of War to this all new edition of Final Fantasy VII and now you think
>Oh user, I have that certified badge
No, you don't. Because you were too busy going Buhuhuhubuhubhubhubu. You were too busy doing stupid silly crap like that, that at the end of the day is going to get you nowhere.

Folks, I am here because I care about this game. I care about Final Fantasy VII, and believe me, I know it's not what you want to hear, but the cracks are already starting to show here with this all new upcoming edition of Final Fantasy VII. It's not a remake. It's a reimagination. The all new upcoming edition of Final Fantasy VII is loosely inspired by Final Fantasy VII. The lazy millenial devs over at clueless Square Enix are catering to the God of War crowd that unfortunately have infested the franchise and that's incredibly sad. Stop making excuses for the lazy millenial devs over at clueless Square Enix. You continue to lose on a daily basis. Go back to Midgard and leave Midgar alone.

I think we already have our michael, and thats Barry, user.

video game journalists are all failures who could not get real and respectable journalistic positions for real companies

Did anyone else actually like Cody's voice as cloud? I think hes done a good job. At least what I can tell from the demo.

The best way to think of this remake is to think of it like the movie Disney's Mulan and Disney's new Mulan remake.

It's going to have similar ideas but be completely different from the original

why the fuck are people trying to act like FF7 on PS1 is the fucking perfect story?

half of it is fucking anime tropes and shit

He sounds good to me. At least he sounds like he should. And he can be sassy too with a different tone.
Or how he says "No!" to aeris when she asks him "not even one?" in the theme song trailer

sounds perfect
I like his NOOO! when Aerith teases him for being pretty

That doesn't mean they all have the same opinion on everything. Did you even read the post you replied to?

So I should never play the remake and avoid Square Enix for the next decade?
Also I defend Nomura for a lot of shit, becuase I like what he has done, but changing the plot of FFVII might be the last straw

The team obviously really “gets” all the characters’ personalities

Nothing
It plays worse than XV

Attached: press nothing to win ff7r.webm (960x540, 2.97M)

it is though

Yeah it feels a bit like an action oriented shift from that games combat, but it certainly plays and operates much differently. Just has similar camera position at times and shares a focus of on-the-fly tactics, which I'm all for.

It is if your job is to evaluate, from some attempt at objectivity, the worth of a game.
If the person who does that job is clinically retarded and can’t handle more than two ideas at time in their double digit IQ brain, then that’s a sign of serious incompetence at their job

Yeh it's worse than XV

>Maybe I'm just retarded.
No, it is in fact a perfectly normal response to not want to pay $120 (or maybe $180) to play a remake of a single game. I personally am still interested, but there's no denying this will set a bad precedent if successful. Almost as bad as making The Hobbit into three 4-hour movies.

I don't think anyone would seriously try to claim that it's "the fucking perfect story", but its kitchen sink approach to storytelling means that there's something for everyone in there. Just look at the antagonists.

>Evil empire/corporation that rules the planet with an iron fist, and is slowly killing it. (Shinra)
>Yakuza enforcers. (Turks)
>Ancient world devouring parasitic monster from space. (Jenova)
>Mad scientist. (Hojo)
>Supersoldier with ambitions of godhood. (Sephiroth)
>Kaiju straight out of Evangelion or Toho that are bent on the destruction of mankind. (Weapons)
>Giant rock plummeting toward the planet that's going to kill everyone. (Meteor)

Add to that an enjoyable setting and likeable cast of characters, not to mention the fact that a lot of people were not used to games of this scope at that time, and you've got a formula for success. It just hit at the right time and place.

You're retarded

eat my ass

3D designer here, you are extremely retarded. Remove yourself from where adults are talking.

Or maybe because you are a weeb faggot

Aeris VA sounds so bad that she could almost come straight from a low budget hentai anime. Which would be a more fitting project for her acting level. She is still a cutiepie tho

In trailers she does
in-game shes fine and cute

If she can't act in the trailers then her in game performance will be much worse. For some reason Aerith always gets really shitty VAs except maybe in CC

theres a certain somebody who analyzes the previews and has the previews in english, specially aps battle.
his name is M_____D____

I can see the potential.
However I could see the potential in FFXV too and that turned out to be actual dogshite.

Yeah, but for a trailer a VA gets much more time to really nail a sentence and they normally get much more voice direction. Which isn't the case for the actual game. Briana already sounding so off in the trailers is a bad sign.

then the voice acting is spot on

I dont know man, it sounded good to me. Im glad im not native english speaker so i cant see those things you guys see on your own language.

If you do, just remember to play on normal difficulty because hard doesn't actually increase the difficulty, it only bloats the enemy hp pools.

>However I could see the potential in FFXV too
What potential? Everyone knew that game was going to be ass.

That's because you probably waifu Aerith, but for me it's painful to have to listen to her VA. But like I said since I play the game in jap anyway, all is good

There are like two systems. Real Time Combat (Hold Square, Dodge and Block) and the Command Menu (slows time extremely while you select an item).

The boss battle was hard but not because of the controls. Game Journos are the worst.

It's probably X to dodge and O for menu in Japan. They've always reversed that shit in the west for no good reason but it tripped me up the entire demo.

literally everything, barry seething hard

What? Why? It's the only real way to play the fucking game. The 2 -action- buttons close to 1 another. The command button in the back., and the lesser used everything else button/talk button on top.

I tripped so much in the fucking demo I'm not buying the game anymore, it was that bad and unfun.

Why are you so angry, mutt

How come Cloud looks like he has the nicest smelling armpits? Also post pits pics

For Nintendo and Sony it's always been the right button to confirm and the bottom button to cancel. For some reason Sony decided that it needed to be the opposite for the west so now the O and X buttons are always reversed outside Japan.

Is that also why kingdom hearts has a fucking dumbass control scheme?

I haven't played Kingdom Hearts but probably. It makes it closer to the Xbox control layout but it screws up a lot of game controls on top of being annoying for people who grew on Nintendo and PS1 and people that play imports.

just like beating the biggest bullet sponge in 15, by holding circle until you win. allies will revive you if you somehow die.

>On normal mode every single enemy was killed by mashing one button
yeah, who would have thought that the demo of the first area would be easy. also, that's what you do in the original to. you hit attack until you win.

i'll never understand how developers don't understand how to make moves feel weighty. it's all about the slower windup, into a lightning fast swing. you either get the western shit of the whole move is slow, or the japanese weightless ultra fast swinging that has the enemy never flinch.
