Final Fantasy 7 Remake.......

[Omegajak]

So it's basically the Curse of the Sinistrals of the Lufia series for the Final Fantasy series.  

It's by default a shitty remake now, for completely changing the way the game is played.  It may still be a decent game on its own, but as a remake, it already sucks.

There was a progress report back in the summer of them using the same combat system from the original game with the new look and they said it wasn't going to work with the game. No matter what people think remaster remake re-imagine means all it means is that things more often than not are going to be different. I know the work that went into the first iteration trying to remake that from every angle would have been too large a project to tackle in a timely manner.

This makes me sad. I never did care much for 7, but they don't these characters don't even have the charm the old ones did. They talk so dryly, like its Advent Children. You're in the middle of combat. Have a little emotion. Barrett doesn't even look big in this, just muscular. I don't know if this combat style will be a good or a bad thing, and I don't mind that its different, but there's no charm here.

Realism does that. People forget the further you try to recreate the real the less inviting it is. Sometimes you have to let the mind draw the lines that's part of FF7's charm the blocky characters I'm waiting for the indie crowd to get into the PSX era that era was awesome for games and I wouldn't be surprised if all the best future ideas AAA make came from a 3rd party delving in the realm of N64 and PSX becuase a lot of the limitation is what bred the creative lines that made games like FF7 so memorable.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind action RPG combat.  But a remake implies that the foundation would be the same with some additions and minor adjustments and improvements.  They could've just called it Final Fantasy 7 Re-Imagined, and no one would complain.  Final Fantasies 1, 2 and 4 PSP are remakes.  This and Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals are reimaginings.

I guess you're right. If people are going to get upset over technicality then I guess it's fair that people are dissapointed though I should let it be said there is no time to remake a AAA FF7 game people are imagining if Remake is what I'm not understanding what it is. Never. There's no money in that project. Not enough not to sink a company before it's made.

Dear God those are scrawny little arms that Cloud has. How does he even lift that sword?

Jenova and SOLDIER therapy never give you visual results Cloud was always a scrawny dude who had some real power (thus the shock o display of strength). We just didn't know it was all him from day one.
