I think that is quite similar to what I feel as well. My initial reaction was "why did they do this? why did they change the story in this way?". That was promptly answered by another question really, sort of my "second" reaction and the longest one, "if they wanted to tell a new story, why not...

I was talking more about the intent behind a segment. In FFVIIR, you are caged in Midgar, but the way that the game approaches it detracts from the fun of the experience. It is annoying and too much restrictive. In Shadow, you are climbing a literally living body, but the way that game...

That's where the sentiment the game wants to pass starts to become incovenient. If that was the intent, the game should make you feel like trapped, caged. But not in the way that annoys you, takes the fun out of it. It's not like the game is showing that, it's more like a function the design of...

Wait, I'm not understanding things here. Rude missed Tifa, which is a cool little nod to his OG crush for her, nothing to do with the Whispers. Then came the fight in the Plate, Reno and Rude x Cloud and Co. Cloud and Co. very much beat the former, even completely incapacitating one of them...

You dont need to be taken down to have lost, tho? He most certainly had lost that battle, given that there was no way in hell he could have possibly defeated Cloud and co. all by himself. He wasnt even going to press the button if it wasnt bc of the Whispers.

Yes, definitely. I think the Remake has a lot of problems with replayability that bug me as well. As much as the ending messed me up, after a month now, I find the technical issues that the game brings much more problem-worthy than the ending. The annoyance at the camera, the restrict gameplay...

I love AC. It was one of the gateways to FFVII for me. But even back then, I had lot of gripes with it. First, I watched it in English, not a very good call. But, besides the dilly dally, AC has an extremely recurrent problem of not evolving the story as it goes on. It's funny, because yeah...

I dont get this at all. The Shinra high people (Heidegger, Hojo, Scarlet) are standard evil s*it, so they arent given that extra dimensionality. The low people (the grunts, the infantrymen) are basic enemies you fight through the whole game. I dont get how you can expand that? And they even do...

Well, the Turks need that humanity to them. It's the trait that explains why can they be redeemed throughout the story, and specially after (like AC). And it can also explain why they distance themselves even more of Shinra, turning into a family of it's own, and stop following orders. I think...

I dont think they ever marketed FFVIR as the definitive version of VII, tho? Atleast, not from the interviews they did. And even if they did put a slogan in a commercial, you still got the fan reaction to it, which pretty much screams "this isnt the definitive version of VII", and will follow...

No, yeah. They are extremely inconsistent. But that's because, they act as devices for the metanarrative "outside of the game", but also for the narrative "inside of the game". So, pretty much, they are subjected to "dumb" rules of the universe, while at the same time, kind of breaking the 4th...

I was digging the Whispers right until Chapter 12-13. We finally got the idea that A) they werent evil, which made them an interesting mystery and B)they seemingly brought an extremely interesting metanarrative to the Remake, that is so damn ballsy I could not be not impressed by it. Aftet that...

I think I reached the biggest level of support for what they did with FFVIIR after I played another remake a couple weeks ago: the Trials of Mana one. ToMR is a very good game, don't get me wrong. I'd say it is much more consistent than FFVIIR even. Post-game wise it completely destroys VIIR...

I hope the Weapons waking up are some Godzilla kind of s*it. Just some completely massive creatures

Should you spoiler tag that or no? I mean, I sure was surprised even with Chapter Select stuff. But yeah, my biggest problem with the platefall is the ending. The ending pre-rendered CGI with Cait is....not good at all. I mean, no specific track? No "silent" moment with the sounds of screams...

I dont think every character needs to have an important backstory. He can just be a cool enemy that makes up interesting segments in the next installments. Kinda like Chapter 4. Some characters are better off just having unique segments dedicated to them, visually and gameplay-wise.

The Shinra FF-X picture is much more likely to be just an easter egg. Didnt they confirm that theory was wrong like years ago? Or maybe I'm thinking of FFVIII or something. And how it being the 5th entry somehow makes it a sequel? I dont think there is a rule that Compilation titles can only be...

I think that, if he would show up, it would have to be in such a drastically altered manner that would be like "why?". I'm talking everything-wise. Not just the characterization, but the lore as well.

I'd say that for the last 10-20 years, that conception has been changing more and more. I mean yeah, back in the day you had your Stallones and your Willis(ess?) all day, but as of now? It, fortunately, has changed quite a bit already. The problem with Genesis lines, of course, in the...
