cliffhanger… and now forgotten...
This game was pretty fun actually. Its was backlogged for decades for me. Ahead of its time in some ways.
>>738099307What's the cliffhanger? Genesis?
bamp
no its a great game that filtered a lot of people back in the day
>>738104417Potentially great, it could have been a lot better. Many such cases.
actually tricked by friend, said this is a 'shooting' gameand finish it anyway without playing ff7 or knowing it have movie
>>738099307>Retcon garbage with some of the worst designs this side of X-2Horrendous game that's a reminder of just how low the dogshit that was everything after the original 7 could stoop
>>738107225>he didn't like the Tron aestheticpleb tier
>>738101652And Weiss
>>738107276>Tron aestheticThis is the same game with the villain who's wearing a jockstrap on his face
>>738099428>>738104417It has an interesting gun and parts system that should probably be revisited, just not by Square. They are bad at guns. It's to bad the game is so small and takes so little from FF7's enemy roster. You never really get to explore the system or make enough use of it. Also the Machine gun sucks ass. It's a lot better than Crisis Core though.
>>738107443Bros... how will we ever cope with not learning what happened to Genesis and Weiss?
>>738099307Liking it since 2007. You fags can't change my mind.
>>738107648That was pretty fucking funny though, made me lol
>>738099307I literally only remember some bullshit with vincent before FFVII, fighting in some alleyways, and then some bullshit advent children thrown in for good effect.
>>738107717By having waifu threads, obviously.
>>738107723based
>>738107714Gun customization was great, but my biggest issue with the game was the lack of diversity in materia types. You're limited to elemental attack materia only when you have a predecessor full of different kinds:>Time magic (Haste/Slow/Stop)>Buffs (Protect/Shell/Regen)>Debuffs (Poison/Blind/Silence/Frog)>Stat boosts (HP, MP, etc.)>Summons>Support materia that lets you do shit like adding elemental damage to physical attacksAll of these were sidelined and we just got basic bitch lightning bolts. The fuck? The game would have been massively improved if they just gave us more materia without changing a single other thing about it.
>>738099307The game suffered greatly from the 00s trend of boring gray corridor shooters. Basically every level except Deepground and the final chapter felt incredibly lifeless and boring.The plot was kind of weird and overly reliant on flashbacks. It had some good parts and carried over some stuff from FFVII fairly well, but the new villains were far to hokey and felt like they were pulled from a crappy sci-fi anime. And then it had Hojo randomly show up again, declare that he was behind everything, then die immediately after. Just a strange plot overall.
>>738109179There were so many interesting locations from the original game that we could have gone to, but they decided to only send us to drab and lifeless places that had no color.

Troupes were so common that there might as well have been a check list of edgy 2000's ideas.
>>738099307I thought we'd get a remake along with that Turks game remake that they said was going to come out, but there's been no news.
>>738099428Game blew and you're a retard
>>738109676This year is the 20th anniversary of Dirge, so it would have been the best time to do it, but that would require us to be on the non-cancerous timeline where somebody who gave a fuck about gamers or their original fanbase was still working at Squeenix.
>>738109676sorry, too busy running our franchise into the ground trying to pull in the normie audience
>>738109016Changes that I think would be cool:Allow Vincent to set 3 different weapons (or maybe weapon types) that you can cycle through or swap through the menu (it's been so long since I played, so I can't even remember if you could change weapons mid-mission)Make elemental materia alter the nature of your shots. Fire would restrict your range and lower your damage, but it changes your shot into a fiery cone. Ice would lower your damage but increase penetration, while Bolt would trade the lower damage for a laser-like shot that lets you hold the trigger to continuously fire a beam until you need to reload. That way, they are not just elemental projectiles. Maybe add an "All" materia that enables a Panzer Dragoon styled lock on?Add in the debuffs. Similar concept to the elements, you trade raw attack for effects. Utilize an armor slot for materia that can grant you supplemental spells or effects, as well as raw stat boosts. Make materia acquire AP so their effects can grow over time. Elements and debuffs would reduce their damage penalty while boosting their effects. Allow one "master materia" slot per weapon and armor that boosts a materia's level by one, unless it's mastered, in which case it either gains new effects or outright eliminates any stat reduction associated with it. Add in an item that's found in hidden spots in stages and/or obtained through completing challenges that allows you to increase the maximum number of materia slots in your gear for further customization.Summons would be kinda difficult to implement, but maybe they could be changed to be a dedicated equip slot that comes with a slew of bonuses and penalities. That way, they'd act like a major modifier to your overall build and play style.
>>738111608Make summons gun types/parts or copy the Final Fantasy Unlimited anime and make them into special bullets that fire off special attacks. Either way is fine with me. Man there's so many cool ideas you could do with a gun system that I'd rather them remake DoC instead of remaster it.
>>738101881I miss Rare DK so fucking much bros...
>>738111608>Allow Vincent to set 3 different weapons (or maybe weapon types) that you can cycle through or swap through the menuYou can already do this, it's just that most of the weapons you have are useless. Powered Cerberus is the only upgrade path worth taking, the SMG sucks and the rifle is redundant if you have Powered Cerberus. Ultima Weapon is pretty good, but you have to forgo any other upgrades to afford it and you get the Death Penalty for free at the end, so it's pointless.>Make materia acquire AP so their effects can grow over time.That would be awesome, yet another thing from the original game they overlooked.
>>738107717They are gonna include them in FF7R part 3Mark my word
>cool sword>not a left-handed devil>actually wears a shirt under his coatSolid design. Shame it didn't work out. That extra joint in the wing was pure stupid, though, as was the mood ring clothing. Those don't need to come back if he gets more content.
>>738099307They'll do a remaster of it after part 3 with an extra cutscene at the end & then follow up on that in ever crisis and it'll be a complete nothingburger
