Is it weird the more bad things I hear, the more excited I get? I was suspecting that the game might actually be terrible and you were all keeping mum about it to not cause a site wide panic. The lack of vague positivity was starting to get suspicious. Guess I was right. Expectations sufficiently tempered. I still wanna play though.

 

[Maidenofwar]

I am enjoying the hell out of things and I haven't even played yet!

(yes I read spoilers)

IMHO the team has been upfront and candid about this not being the same game and the OG is there if you need it, it always will be, it's something you can go back to if you want so to me there's no point to getting upset or angry or anything just cause things might not have turned out exactly the way I might have wanted it (well tbh I didn't really have a rigid piece by piece wish list in place since I was keeping an open mind with room for different things happening anyway) , I mean I might still get stroppy/upset over somethings, it's a possibility, but ultimately it'll probably be me blowing hot air, I love so much of what I've seen already Also the final chapters are probably where the bulk of Red XIII is? so that's probably going to make things a win for me anyway, I am excite where is 10th April!

 

[Odysseus]

6 days! I share your opinion,@Maidenofwar. I've been ready for square's weird bullshit from day one. I've played the original so many times, I'd be dissatisfied if they didn't do something crazy and out of left field. It's new, its exciting! I want to see what Nojima and Nomura have cooked up!

 

[Pizzachu]

From what I've seen so far, I've liked everything that was presented. I think it's the expectations people have for the game that can heavily influence their opinion on it.

 

[LNK]

I can assure you, everyone who has played the game has enjoyed at least a part of it. Most of them enjoyed atleast 2/3 of the game tbh. Of course, these are just some skewed statistics I came up in a minute, but it's something I'm seeing a lot. Doesnt mean the game will get majorly positive reviews. Quite the contrary,

Spoiler

its the final third that gets to people, and boy does it get. Gets so much, to some people, it throws away that enjoyment of the first two thirds

That's too bad to hear that it would ruin the game for people like that. My expectations for the game were always very low. That way I wouldn't get my hopes up about certain stuff being included. As long as the changes/additions fit well with the remakes story, I'm sure I'll like it as well

What could they possibly do within the template of the original story that could make people upset? I seriously don’t get what it could possibly be, particularly when there aren’t any major plot twists in the Midgar act to begin with.

Do people who hate the ending hate it because it’s not faithful? Did they put Sephiroth in Kalm or something...? Is it something having to do with Sector 7? (Those are rhetorical) I’m pretty pumped, and I feel like whatever it is won’t bother me. I just hope with all my being that they didn’t mess up something as big as the FF7 Remake, and I mean, the original team came back, so I trust ‘em.

Actually, I’m wondering: is Kalm even in this part of the Remake? (This one’s not rhetorical)

It was a mix of folks misunderstanding, and misinterpreting a mindscrew ending and the ending being a wild ride.

Or possibly interpreting it precisely correct.

Spoiler: Spoilers ahead!

Spoilers ahead!


Tbh the ending feels "too much happening, way too fast" with uninspiring and long KH bosses.

The imagery was over the place.

Its like they saved all their madness and crammed into the final segment, which was already frenetic with fighting Jenova, big robots and the bike chase.

It felt like artifical padding just to wow the player, "look at this giant dark enemy, visions of OG ending, Sephiroth, now we are in space, isnt it cool?!"I

LOL omg stahp

No.

Thanks!

Ah, thanks for simultaneously being super vague but still informing me on how this divisiveness could happen. A spoiler-less answer that still gives me a bit of an idea, essentially.

I am wondering, though. (Again, probably rhetorically) What could they even do to the Midgar act to make it a mindfuck?? Things don’t get weird until the City of the Ancients and onward, after all.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

LOL omg stahp

Well, it's true.

Besides, didn't we all agree to not promoting a particular interpretation until we have the full context? =P

Thanks!

If this is the case, I think I can accept a too frantic boss rush and some crazy / surrealist imagery. Keep in mind I’m saying this with the following being true:

You have no idea man......

I really don’t.

Jesus, I'm gonna crack if I keep reading all of this vague foreshadowing

It’s tempting! But try to think of how you’d feel if you caved. If you think you’d regret it, resist the urge.

 

[Wol]

spoiler tagged my previous comment, thought this was the spoiler discussion area lol, sorry if it spoiled anyone.

 

[Pizzachu]

I agree with Prism. If you're in the mood for anything FFVII related, you could fill in the time reading the novels. It'll pass the time until release day if you take it nice and easy.

 

[Odysseus]

You right, you right. I'm sure in a weeks time I'll be rolling with the best of them in that chapter 18 thread. In the meantime, watching everyone who knows already argue and vent about it while having to stay vague is turning into my favorite ff7 remake pre release side show. Please fellas, by all means, continue.

@Pizzachu I've already reread the novels like 3 times man.

Have you read this one?

 

[Pizzachu]

Then reread them again.

Ok, I'm just messing around. Whatever you do, I'd recommend not going into any of the spoilers threads. I've seen people on other websites say something along the lines of them regretting looking at the spoilers. Save yourself, @Odysseus

 

[Odysseus]

Have you read this one?

Never seen that before. What is it?

Don't worry @Pizzachu, I'm strong enough to hold back. There is some temptation, but I'll manage. It's just like most of the forum has developed into

Or people getting antsy about the release. A lot of us are at the "antici" without the "pation," you know?

Sounds like we gotta binge Rocky Horror Picture Show until Remake comes out.

 

[Pizzachu]

Yeah, I understand. It's difficult to participate in discussion when most of it is surrounding spoilers and everyone is being tight-lipped about it. Being potentially stuck at home amplifies this by like 100%.

You can do this! I'll be getting my copy on release day, so I'm stuck in the non-playing boat too. We can all experience the reunion on the 10th!
