Okaaaay, definitely did not mean for the thread to go in this direction… I don’t expect anybody to feel how I do, so I really don’t mean to come off that way. My comments were in reference to how Kitsase described his mindset when remaking FF7 in the interview that was posted. As it turns out...

Fear of what? If it turns out badly, it’ll very disappointing but so it goes with video games. I dislike a lot of things but I’ve got very little energy to spare on getting upset about them, we’re talking about two different things here. The irony of typing this while doing the same to me...

Maybe people wanting a remake of a perfectly playable and accessible game in the first place strikes at the core of my issue with modern media in general but that’s neither here nor there… I’m saying that if you hold the OG in such high regard, then the remake could turn out as awful as...

I could see how changes along those lines would be off-putting if they actually had bearing on the OG’s version of events, but it seeing as they likely wouldn’t, it just seems about as inconsequential to me as Dragonball: Evolution butchering Dragon Ball at this point

I think the point is that we still got those things anyways. Regardless of how people may feel about the new plot elements everything that we likely would’ve gotten in a remake without them is still very much present in the remake, probably minus the game being one part instead of three. For...

Even looking at it as a consumer, I don’t really understand enjoying the same product over and over only to be so dissatisfied that a remake of that product doesn’t capture what I like about the original. If I’m going to keep enjoying the original all the same, then I don’t think how the remake...

If that’s the case, I feel like whatever shape the remake takes should matter even less

I think the problem though is that the mechanic doesn’t actually change how Cloud feels about each character. The events that transpire between the characters vary, but Cloud’s feelings don’t. Case in point, let’s say I want Cloud and Aerith to be canon. The obvious obstacle is her death, but...

By “system that reflects the player’s feelings”, they’re referring to the affection mechanics, right? It’s a “fun” (I hate it) way to let the player’s feelings be reflected in-game but it’s not as if the Gold Saucer date changes the trajectory of the story itself. Nomura even says “it’s not that...

The scene as a whole is great, it’s one of the most dramatic scenes in the game. It’s the fanservice in that moment that I found bizarre, especially for how grim that scene is otherwise. Not that I have a problem with fanservice in general, but my small brain had a quite an interesting time...

He basically wants Tifa’s role in the story to go to Jessie. It’s as if he knows that Jessie will never have what Tifa has with Cloud, and he’s obsessed with the idea of a “Jessie route” just so he can pretend Cloud and Jessie are something they’re not. But let’s face it, Jessie will never be as...

Yeah, Zack and Aerith works far better for me as a tragic romance because they actually got to have a romantic relationship before the tragedy struck, but hey to each their own

Aerith gets to be the one who saves the planet, Tifa gets to be the one who saves the MC and ends up with him. I’d say that’s a fair enough trade ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. All I know is I’m sure there was an artistic reason for taking the time to animate jiggle physics into the FMV from the OG where Tifa...

I hate to say it, but they almost certainly did have fanservice in mind when they gave Tifa improbably large breasts. It’s a very common thing to do in Japanese video games and anime and if there’s anybody to direct accusations of sexism towards, I would say it’s the creators themselves for...

That first tweet is him giving his opinion and people really ought to chill the hell out about it. It’s a pretty tame take in itself. I guess that coupled with the second tweet is what really ruffled some feathers. The second tweet begs the question of what exactly constitutes “explicit...

It was ME, Henry…!!

Incidentally, our old friend has at least two easily recognizable alt accounts. So for those of you on Twitter, don’t be surprised if you come across a totally-unrelated-I-swear-guys account spouting the same talking points. Or just, y’know, avoid Twitter altogether.

inb4 overanalyzing the details of the buster sword

They could, but like seemingly everything else in FF7 discourse, it often warps people’s perceptions of what the remake “should” be and leads to perpetual disappointment over what it isn’t rather than focusing on what it actually wants to do

They could go for something surprising if they decided to change something up about those twists, especially if Zack is alive this time. I guess we’ll see if they actually go there or not. The substance behind the surprise is just as important as that initial impresssion that you might relive...
