rebirth is coming soon, and I just found out you won’t be able to carry your progress over between games. Why did they do this? Did they forget they needed to program it? Is square stupid?
>>737364128Because they didnt want to mess with the power levels between games. They did keep some levels and basic progression, but like in trails in the sky trilogy, they take away the materia so you wont start with firagas at the beginning.
>>737365619I have a follow up question, but you have to promise to not get mad before I ask it
>>737365704I'm already mad
>>737364128This is fine desu. I've played Remake and Rebirth on PS5, I'll play the third party on PS5 too. Not rebuying them on PC.
>>737365704??? why would i be mad?>>737365750????????????????????????????????????????? why are you replying for me?
>>737365783I need you to be calm
>>737364128Because the games were released 4 years apart and most people wouldn't remember how their dozens of skills, materia and equipment worked and people who didn't have a save file would be in an ever weirder spot, not forgetting the game would have to be balanced for both ways.
>>737366041See >>737365704
>>737366064You are so angry lol
>>737366184I'm just asking a question, i guess you can't make a promise it since you are mad already...
>>737366251What's the question you wanted to ask anon. I'm ready.
>>737366064How about you just ask the question? It couldn't possibly be any worse than the games.
>>737366334Sorry but if you're gonna keep being this angry, it's not gonna be possible.
>>737366337>>737366334Two people suddenly interested? huh...weird...anywayWhat's a valid criticism of 7R?
>>737366450>What's a valid criticism of 7R?Everything
>>737365704As you can see, that's a promise I cannot keep
I heard someone has a question?
>>737366886ANON NO!
>>737366450Stilted dialogue and bad attempts at humor in certain places (i.e. Aerith randomly whinny-ing after the Abzu boss fight, Beck's Badasses being painfully unfunny). The level design is obnoxious at certain points, made worse by the fact that you need to play through them multiple times in order to get all character upgrades. Certain Materia shouldn't be Materia and should just be a part of character kits by default (such as Deadly Dodge and Parry, but Rebirth fixes this issue).Rebirth's problems include a number of Remake's and there's swaths of additional ones as well, largely open world related.
>>737365704I can keep that promise. ask me instead
>>737366625>>737367393I know, right? the games suck ass.There's this guy i like to chase around threads asking the question because he gets VERY angry when he has to answer. In fact i made this thread just to get him here, haha. I'm gonna do the same on /vg/ and /vrpg/, i know he's there as well. I WILL find him.
>>737365619>Because they didnt want to mess with the power levels between gamesYou have max level firaga type spells and a bunch of summons at the end of Midgar, it makes no sense that you lose it all.
>>737367521You are doing such a good job of showing everyone how the question doesn't bother you.Tell me anon, why is it that nine times out of ten (probably more) it's you who gets asked it?
>>737367938Dude, I MADE the question, i don't even know what you are talking about.
>>737364128>you won’t be able to carry your progress over between games.Wait, so if I played Remake on a PS4 and I now have an XBox X, it makes no difference for Rebirth? I don't get anything extra if I start anew there, instead of importing a save file?
>>737366450>Graphics vary from looking pretty good for PS4 to PS2 tier garbage (+the door LOL)>Absolutely pointless filler segments to pad out the game>Every new character is annoying and old characters are ruined>Combat is mindnumbingly easy aside from a few bosses in hard mode that might actually require paying attention if you haven't set up you characters to be unkillable>It's not even a fucking remakehas some banger tunes tho can't criticize that meself
>>737368015Well it certainly works, so well done. I think I'll start using it myself, though personally I disagree, I don't think remake sucks. I like it, but I think people being able to give and take reasonably is a part of any good discussion. It can't just be pure love or pure hate.
>>737368114Yeah i agree, the game is garbage. Thanks for answering! our resident schizo >>737365619 couldn't.
>>737368072you cant import saves from playstation to xbox unless its a mmo
>>737368183You have been utterly mindbroken by the ba7ry test. It's beautiful to watch.
I like remake and rebirth.
>>737365619You fucked up when you posted this fanboy shit.
>>737368072You get bonus summon materias early if you have save files from the previous game but that's it.
>>737368236Me too. Shame about Ba7Ry ruining threads with his schizo fanboyism.
>>737364128>Is square stupid?Incredibly.
Do any games with direct sequels keep the same gear, levels etc...?
>>737368230Yes, I know. That's why I've been waiting to have access to a PS5 before playing Rebirth. But if it doesn't make much difference to the game, I could just get it on Xbox the first time it's on sale instead.>>737368242Thanks Anon. Can anyone confirm? If it all does it make the new game slightly easier and you don't really miss or lose out on anything?
>>737368352Great question. Perhaps this isn't a valid thing to criticize 7R for after all.
>>737364128You do get something if you have save from remake but I don't remember what it was.Anyway it's not a roleplaying game like mass effect series is where your choices matter across all the games.
>>737366450Everything.The game is a fucking scam and Square outright lied to it's fans, the gameplay is dogshit too cause modern square can't come up with a decent action combat system to save their fucking lives.
>>737368341honestly his dedicated autism is almost impressive, like something to be studied
>>737368370all you get is a shitty materia. it makes zero other change.
>>737368352Whats a valid criticism of 7r?>>737368416Thanks for answering! i agree completely
>>737368429I'm so glad the BA7RY TEST made more people aware of him. It's the only way to make sense of the posts ITT.
>>737368470My main criticisms is that they felt the need to have big retarded fights with sephiroth at the end of each game because they needed a climax when it wasn't really necessary. Other than that I really liked them more than I thought I would.
>>737368236I find them playable, maybe even fun at times as far as video games go but in terms of being a remake, what the fuck were they smoking.
>>737368668That doesn't bother me so much, the original had retarded shit too. I think a verbatim remake would be kinda boring.
>reds voice changewhat were they thinking?
>>737368668If they did this on anything but Unreal Engine it would have taken them 30 years and by then the boomers at SE would be dead.
>>737368619Yeah it sucks>>737368772They are retarded>>737368236>>737368668>>737368758Whats a valid criticism of 7r?
>>737368772To show he put up an role of an old wise warrior
>>737368847So this is what you think is happening when someone dares to ask you if there is one criticism of 7R you'd accept? You really must feel under attack all the time. You can no longer pretend to be any different to Barry.
>>737368847You already asked
What if we stage an intervention for him?
>>737369040Tha't would be nice, let's see how that works>>737368847Why are you so obsessed with asking people about criticisms of 7r?
>>737369114Look up the ba7ry test. You are talking to ba7ry. He's now giving everyone the test in the hopes that it undermines it, but all he's proving is how angry it made him.
>>737368994>>737368996So no valid criticisms, huh?>>737369114Why cant you answer? it is a simple question.
>>737369114mentally ill people always seek validation. this is well documented
>>737369216we already know that, its not exactly subtle. you are replying to another ba7ry post.
>>737369216So wait...the one asking for valid criticisms and Bar7y are the same? Talk about plot twist.
>>737365619>take away the materiaYuffie...!!
Why couldn't they just have remade the games, just upgrading the graphics and gameplay?So much money was spent on random new crap and side quests.
>>7373641287 remake sucks and rebirth is pure shit. The next one will what? Suck as well? Yeah no shit
>>737365860Calm comes after midgar
>>737369318>>737369371What's a valid criticism of 7r?>>737369324Yeah i agree
>>737369232They're on this thread scroll up
>>737369371Its spelled Kalm.
>>737369295That's what you'd desperately like others to believe, BA7RY.
>>737369532All the same for the japanese
>>737368352Golden Sun had a weird code system where you could transfer the GS1 party's data into GS2. It was actually pretty elegant overall because GS2 featured a new party, and the GS1 party joins you back around the last third of the game.
>>737369532Anon, kalm down.
>>737369410Stagger
>>737364128For me, it's collecting all the same weapons I found in Remake again and getting the same abilities. So lazy.
>>737370357Sounds neat, I always meant to play Golden Sun.
>>737364128Each part is made as a full game with separate progression systems. If they ended up making the trilogy like the .hack PS2 games, it'd be terrible.
>>737368352In Mass Effect 3 you start at the same level you left off in ME2.
>>737371112There's a lore reason for shepard to fall back multiple levels in me2
>>737368352Persona 2 Eternal Punishment does it, it lets you keep the exact stats from the main character, as well as all your cards for creating new personas.There's a story reason why only the one guy keeps his stuff, and if you don't have data of the previous game, he still starts at like level 50 or 60 by default.
>>737371112Importing your save in ME3 basically starts you off on NG+ immediately. Reaching the level cap is only possible by either importing a save or starting NG+. I kinda dislike that about ME3. You start off with everything, which is still different from everything in ME2, and don't have a lot of progression beyond getting new guns and gun parts.
>>737373104>Persona 2 Eternal Punishment does itMeant to say kinda does it.
>>737368352As far as I'm aware, the .hack// games let you keep and carryover everything.
>>737373780>>737373104does it over persona 1 or persona?
