hot take: playing as Sephiroth takes away his mystique and makes him seem less powerful when he gets knocked down. For a 2 hour long prologue Sephiroth should have one shotted everything while Cloud and the player are in awe.
hotter take : playing as Sephiroth, who is far more powerful than Cloud, adds to his mystique
>>738906758nah this was a better demonstration of his power without giving the player control
>>738906578>FF7 fans chased a fake rumor about playing as Sephiroth in the original game>SE decides to satisfy longtime fans by letting them do it>Some zoomer comes along with a diaper ass contrarian "hot take" about it
>>738906884>SE misses the point of what Square Soft pulled off back in 97
>>738906925they don't miss the point, it's a reinterpretation of the story. Sephiroth appears in the first 2 hours of remake and we get demonstrations of his power throughout the game.
>>738906578shut up and climb your yellow-painted cliffs and push boxes for 45 minutes longer than the original's flashback sequence
>>738906803what about that bit where you controlled sephiroth in the caves?
>>738909096No, let's just complain and pretend.Also I have a friend who swears some sort of 'good' Sephiroth from one of the seven timelines will be playable in part 3 because he thinks Square wouldn't go all the way to make him playable in a flashback and a couple of VR bouts.
>>738906578Why are powerlevelfags like this?
hottest take: Sephiroth is fucking gay and lame and the worst part of the original.
>>738911465That was the chocobo breeding without guides.In a sense its point was just to sell guides so it makes sense.
How many Final Fantasies (including re-re-re-remakes of remakes) does it need to be Final? FFslop niggers are the worst, this is why Deus Ex was killed.
>>738906578Being over 13 years old also >takes away his mystique
>>738911514FF is kinda like series like Star Trek and Star Wars.It had such a tremendous amount of clout that I think they will keep making them for an unforeseeable amount of time.
Can you even lose as Sephiroth during this segment I thought he was made overpowered relative to the rest of the game it’s just the bosses still took a bit because Square wanted you to see everything about them.
>>738911790You can definitely game over at materia keeper
>>738906578I don't know, i think it's okay to play as him during the prologue since it's the only time you actually see him as a 'normal' human being. Most of the mystique of the character comes afterwards since it's unclear exactly what he is as a part of and projection of Jenova
>>738912464Sephiroth was demigod before he went crazy, slapping around trash mobs makes him look like pansy
>>738911487Complex chocobo breeding was for autism 100%ing. It wasnt that hard to get a gold one, it was getting one that could reliably win at the races, which was bullshit because it was gambling if you win
Give me playable Genesis.
