FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

[LicoriceAllsorts]

So the Yuffie DLC takes place after Coud falls from reactor 5?
I'm interested in the 'new Wutai government'. Hope she made all that stuff up like the little bullshitter she is.
I also like that they made her an actual child.

“Elite Special Forces Operative” yeah okay, and I graduated top of my class with the Navy SEALs

It would be neat if they showed her in an encounter with the Turk who blew up the pagoda during BC - but the thing is, the identity of that Turks depends on who the player chose as their player Turk. If, for example, they make it Shotgun, they'll be invalidating the fond memories of all the players who played as Rod, or Two-Guns, or Gun. I'm sure they'll find a workaround, though.

Wonder if she'll bump into alive!Zack....

 

[Kain424]

Still have my doubts on that one.

 

[Odysseus]

Too bad I don't own a phone.

Marlene wants to know your location

In this thread: LicoriceAllsorts is Vincent Valentine.

I like it.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Since I'm the oldest of all masquerading as a young vampire but deeply scarred by my traumatic past and prone to sardonic graveyard humour and bad poetry, it seems apt. I only wished I looked half as good in a leather catsuit.

 

[Kain424]

I'll accept this reality.

FF7R (PS4) coming to PS+ on March, this version can't be upgraded for free to Intergrade:

[Erotic Materia]

However, there's a catch. If you get FF7R for free via PS Plus, you CAN'T get a free upgrade to the PS5 version.

Which I think is fair, in all honesty. But boy, some people are not happy about it.

 

[Prism]

It wouldn't make sense for people to be able to get the game for free when you're already getting it for free via PS Plus (I know you're paying for the service, but still)

Consumer-friendly models are nice and all, but I think that'd be a little too far. The mindset is if you pay for the game once, you shouldn't have to pay for it again until part 2 and beyond come out

 

[Smoothie King]

Which I think is fair, in all honesty. But boy, some people are not happy about it.

And that is completely ridiculous to me. They're getting a free AAA gaming experience that took years and years to produce and was 60 dollars less than a year ago. Sometimes the sense of entitlement from people I come across on the internet is completely insane.

Same goes for the Yuffie DLC. So, they've spent 8-9 months of labor on completely new content that plays completely new and different from anything we've played before, and they're supposed to just give that away as if it's charity? I mean, come on. It's ridiculous.

 

[Lulcielid]

Complaining about the Yuffie DLC being locked behind the new console is still fair.

 

[ForceStealer]

Yup.
Charging for a new story episode? Not a problem. (Assuming it isn't like $30 like ReMind was.) And not letting you free your way into Intergrade is fair.
Locking it to a new console that most people couldn't even get if they wanted to yet? Sucks.

 

[Eerie]

This is basically why I waited to get a PS5 (still waiting ^^') because I was sure it would quickly become a PS5 game for the next installments, so I didn't want to pay for a PS4 that would soon become obsolete...

Maybe they are expecting that by June, situation will be more normal?

Even still, it's of course a "maximise the profit" strategy. Forcing people's hands to get the new console since, obviously, that's what the big boss wants and what's better for the long run. The $$ always speaks higher. Business in a nutshell.

 

[ForceStealer]

It maximizes Sony's profit. I can only imagine it will limit Square's. In the near-term at least, they would absolutely sell more of this Yuffie episode on PS4.

 

[Odysseus]

Complaining about the Yuffie DLC being locked behind the new console is still fair.

If the PS5 was more available that'd be one thing, but right now it's locked behind an expensive new console that nobody can even buy, so I think complaints are valid.

Sony probably had some really good arguments for Square, if you know what I mean. Same deal as an 1 year exclusivity treaty. They both got something out of that.

 

[Lulcielid]

Even if the PS5 was fully available it still wouldn't be a justification, I wouldn't have a problem if the game had released on PS5 only and thus made a ps5 only DLC but it didnt, it released on PS4 first.

FFXV didnt lock its Episodes DLCs behind the PS4Pro and Xbox One X.

 

[Odysseus]

It is a bit scummy, but this is clearly a move to get the playerbase on the new console since the other parts will be PS5. it's not a great situation.

 

[ForceStealer]

Wonder if it would get released on PS4 after the release date has convinced all of us the suckers to upgrade.

 

[Odysseus]

It's fitting to use Yuffie to swindle people out of money.

[Mr. Dolphin]

I understand that Square probably wouldn't want to shine a spotlight (or a sun lamp) on this mistake, but I wonder what the chances are that they fixed the plate misalignment, when looking up at the plates from the slums, in the ps5 version.
