So, who’s on the no spoiler team here?

[Odysseus]

True, they wouldn't want to nuke their own content.

 

[LNK]

Too right. I’ve got to resist the urge to scratch the itch. Twitter and Reddit are going on full mute and I’m having to do my utmost not to open the spoiler tags here.

I’m trying to remind myself that the vast majority are in the same boat here, and it’ll all be worth it by the end of the week!

I guess that's my benefit of not having much social media. Being on here is the only hard thing. I like chatting with you guys though. Just gotta do my best to avoid the spoiler threads

 

[LNK]

I don't even understand why anyone (who is getting the game on release) would want to watch any of someone else's playthrough.

Me either. I hope mine will be delivered on the 10th, but if not, oh well. I'd rather experience it playing, instead of watching someone's playthrough

Same reason half the people in the spoilers thread don't even have the game yet. Some people just want to know.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm watching Lex play but only because I am ahead of him

 

[Odysseus]

I know I already said this, but its still on my mind. By the time the other half of the forum gets the game, will there still be discussions worth having in most of the spoiler threads? Won't reading different people react to the same shit over and over be tired and dull when everyone else has long since moved? I was wanting to post my thoughts chapter to chapter, but by the time I get to do that it'll just be like "who even cares? We know already." I dunno, I'm probably just being pessimistic.

I'd say just do it. There is a handful of us who will be (hopefully) playing around the same time anyway

 

[oty]

No no no no, dont think like that. People have been stating their thoughts about each chapter and its great. It opens up even more discussions, and just seeing people's thoughts is already cool. Trust me, I cant wait to see what all of you are gonna think about the game.

 

[Odysseus]

Yeah I probably will. It just feels redundant to me. Like there's this slowpoke second wave slowly plodding their way through while everyone else is already at the finish line. We can have our own fun, but its not really the same as being there right from the start. I think I may be depressed. Video games, man.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

People are still making new and insightful observations about the fucking original, guys. Of course there will still be things worth saying.

 

[Odysseus]

I'm kinda lacking in the self confidence department to think anything I say will be particularly interesting, I guess. I shouldn't really be tying my enjoyment to what other people think anyway, but I really like this community. 5 days is an eternity right now, so I dunno. I hope you're right @The Twilight Mexican .

 

[oty]

Ody, it's not redundant at all . Every insight about anything in the game gives everyone even more hindsight about the unique intricacies of FFVIIR. And trust me, I'm still finding interesting things from freakin Chapter 1

 

[LNK]

I hear ya! but like Twilight just said, we're still talking about the OG.

And you for real should check out that book, I told you about! I hope it'll help you feel better!

I agree! Especially since we look at things through different perspectives and thought processes.

 

[Odysseus]

I'll think about it. Not sure I want to blow $20 on a self-help book right now though. Also, @oty, part of me really want so be a dick right now and say "Easy for someone who can actually play the game to say" but fact is you're probably completely right. There's a giant silent majority that hasn't touched this thing yet, even in the european communities, so there'll be plenty of fresh material and fresh people for that material come the 10th. Just imagining another 4 days of this is miserable right now.

You're aware we're all on a forum for a 23-year-old game, right?

I hear ya. I think you'll be glad you did. It's good for more than self help though. It made me branch off into other books as well. I bought the Kalachakra Tantra, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Kybalion, and the Hermetica because of it.

Just something to think about

 

[Odysseus]

Yeah I know. I'm just being a little sour puss right now. Can't blame me for being scared can you? World's gone to shit already, I'm afraid of losing one of the only good things I had coming. I know I'm being stupid.

 

[ForceStealer]

You'll just have lots of impressions to read and respond to after each chapter, it'll be fun. And half the forum most certainly does not have the game yet, it's only a few. The "second wave" of people playing it will be most people.

 

[Odysseus]

I tend to eat my words when I get like this, so I really hope it will be a good time for everyone. I'm sorry I keep venting so much here.

 

[Maidenofwar]

I turned on the PS4 this morning and the digital preorder contents had been added to downloads and started downloading! Less than 4 days now this is it!

Hang on tight and hold iin there!

No, I enjoy reading what other people think and can't wait for everybody else to post in those threads too

 

[Strangelove]

ahhhh

2 days and 7-ish hours to go
