FFVIIR Official Concept Art & Twitter Whatnots

[Jairus]

Just because something is standard procedure, though, doesn't necessarily make it right. One shouldn't follow procedures blindly. They should also keep in mind how it makes them look, to others as well as to us. And doing what I suggested would set them apart from other companies and show they're willing to buck trends and procedures when necessary in order to do the right thing.

I don't think anyone disagrees with you, but that's not the point. We're not SE, so appealing to our better nature makes no difference in the end.

As for them, what they should do vs what they will do are likely two very different things, and no amount of debate is going to affect that.

 

[Odysseus]

In the end it's probably better that Square doesn't change their plans. Acknowledging the leak would only draw more attention to it, so perhaps being the ostrich is ideal for now. That said, this game is due out in less than two months now, when IS their next big press release going to be?

 

[Highwind]

There might be one reason for Square and SE to respond to the leaks, that being so they don't look like an ostrich with its head in the sand, pretending that what happened didn't happen, that what's now known still isn't known and that nobody will notice. They could release some new content that wasn't in the leaks, which would effectively shift people's attention away from them. Or just drop the demo already. Just something else to do other than closing the barn door after the chocobo's already left.

Why should they release content that has not been leaked? I'm sure they're happy that there are still surprises left. As for the demo, yes. Release that shit.

What I meant was stuff that hasn't been released that they were going to show anyway. That's all.

Dudes chill. The marketing department has enough on their hands right now without more demands from unpleasable fans.

 

[Jairus]

I was just stating an opinion, nothing more. Saying something they could do but not demanding they do it. I just like to point out alternate possibilities, is all. I know they'll make their own decisions on the matter, and that's fine. Shouldn't stop us from having our own thoughts about it, though.

For those among us who watch playthroughs, this should be very fun (she hasn't played the original).

 

[Kain424]

I am very down.

 

[Saven]

I'll definitely keep this on in the background.

 

[FFShinra]

John Eric Bentley is a treasure is the thing I discovered from that first episode of the playthrough.

 

[oty]

He really is. And really has a passion for Barret. Kinda warms you up.T hey were saying the stream was really cringe for a reason tho? Like forced reactions and stuff

 

[ultima786]

Nah it was nice. Seem like nice folks

 

[FFShinra]

Any awkwardness was mostly from Bri, because she has trouble with the age of the game.

 

[oty]

I guess it's understandable. I would say most 3d games from that time didnt exactly age well . They really were pioneering. I mean, I can barely play the original Ocarina of Time with that fps, specially with the N3DS version being so smooth. People were saying she used cheats tho? And that there were some awkward moments between her and John, like she was getting mad at him for being "fake" excited or something.

 

[FFShinra]

She did use godmode. Didn't get any indication she was getting mad at John though.

 

[ForceStealer]

And that there were some awkward moments between her and John, like she was getting mad at him for being "fake" excited or something.

No. He seemed new to the twitch thing and was struck by how many people were chatting at them. So maybe sometimes he got stuck on responding to chats while she was trying to advance the game. But anyone calling it awkward is blowing shit way out of proportion. It was completely fine. Sweet even.
As for cheats, she had the god mode engaged, which she didn't seem to know how to actually control. But whatever. Seeing her mind be changed about turn-based combat would be cool, but this is more about hte story anyway.

I was impressed with his knowledge of the game in general. I know he played it before, but I assume he hasn't been replaying it over the years the way we have.

 

[Kain424]

I was just happy to see such enthusiasm across the board. It's fine that she's acknowledged the game's datedness. That's why there is a Remake coming.

 

[pxp]

Sorry if I'm being dumb but is there a playback of this?

 

[ForceStealer]

It might exist on twitch, but she will be uploading it to youtube this week, I believe she said.

 

[Pizzachu]

She uploaded it onto her Twitch channel here.

 

[pxp]

She uploaded it onto her Twitch channel here.

Thanks!!

Glad that they made more broad announcements about this.

[ForceStealer]

I'd still love to know why, unaffected though I am, lol.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I think that there's probably some sort of legal requirement about how the preorder was set up to process payments, since the people would technically have agreed for a payment withdrawl on a specific date, and they can't pull the payment at a different date without explicit consent.
