Reason for that could simply be that they didn't think FF7 needed the longer build-up, so they kept it quiet because they didn't want to eat into the KH3 marketing campaign. It would've probably overshadowed KH3 in quite an unhelpful way.

Their operating income projections require over 10 million sales of a $60 game. I haven't heard any alternative way that could possibly happen except FF7 remake. No way would they have those projections for an Avengers game they haven't even shown yet. Give in and let the hype take you.

Yeah they could frankly ruin a scene like Aerith's death by just giving Cloud a slightly out-of-place expression on his face. I'm trying not to worry about that level of detail though, because there are just too many variables. Too many ways they might screw up that I can't even think clearly...

I haven't noticed any time added at all from doing side-quests. I've only noticed it added through doing the main story quests. What am I missing exactly?

That's a good distinction in general. I'm not sure how much they could really change the way it's told though, without it being an obvious failure to replicate the experience of the original. They'll definitely change the dialogue, which is fine. What else are they gonna change though? Add a...

As long as they make the multiplayer part optional, like Comrades, I'm fine with that. Comrades was vaguely fun to play single player. Although would've been better if they got rid of that dumb multiplayer loading area and just went straight to the levels.

It's mostly just XIII-2 that has issues on PC. The first game runs great. Lightning Returns is ok but has some bad framerate in some places. Nothing that ruins the game though.

It definitely needs to look good. But I was just making the point that there are different meanings to "looks good" nowadays in gaming. There's the looking good in terms of advanced graphics techniques, so something looks more realistic (e.g FFXV "looks better" than FFXIII). But there's also...

I don't care that much about cutting-edge graphics really. Art design is more important. FF13 looks better than most PS4 games to me because the art design is so good. I don't really care that it doesn't have real-time ambient occlusion of physically based shaders.

Yeah I've been pretty optimistic about this game since it was announced, for that exact reason. Storytelling is what they've struggled at the most for the last decade, and that's largely already taken care of for this game. The parts that they're mostly going to change from the original are the...

I think I've enjoyed pretty much every battle system they've ever made. X-2, XII, XIII, Lightning Returns, Crisis Core, XV. They're all pretty good imo. So it's not something I really worry about Squenix doing badly. Storytelling is where they're more liable to screw things up.

Fixing issues like that should've been trivially easy for them. Sad that they didn't bother.

Ever since X-2 I'd say. Still I love the XIII battle system and that's kinda ATB still. Ideally I'd like something that's XIII battles but with multi-character moves. I'm imagining something like XIII mixed with Xenoblade Chronicles.

Yes although the vast majority of that audience stuck around for FF8 as well, so not many people were alienated by it.

Yikes, 70 on metacritic: https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/anthem I know it's a live service so they might improve it and make it a success. But not looking great for Bioware.

Hostage in my basement.

Right, but they did it because they ran out of time. Not because they thought it'd be a cool idea. When the project had been floating around for a decade, I think it's understandable that Squenix needed to just give them a final deadline for launching it.

I think it was connected because we mentioned how 4chan leaked both FFXV story and the potential FF7 event in April.

Was that opinion before or after the DLC and updates?

This was an english translated document, so they might have converted it to american standards.
