Games cool and all but did it really need to be 3 separate games?
>>
They're sequels, not remakes.
>>
I guess they thought they could make this an going series forever but rebirth flopped so they're ending it

it was planned as a trilogy 2+ years before rebirth came out

Nope, which is why they'll make a 4th one with the best parts of the first three combined into a single unbloated package.

What's wrong with the FFVII Remakes? They're fun!
>>
>>740210137
I wish it was just one game but they sold a massive expansion to it. It feels retarded for rebirth to have big massive improvements to the combat system that aren't added to remake. Its going to be even more retarded when the same thing happens with the next game.
It reminds me of the .hack//gu port and I also thought it was fucking stupid they didn't add in the combat improvements of later versions to make the whole thing play better.

All we asked for back then was a remake with better graphics. They decided to do it in the worst possible way by breaking it up into 3 games with ungodly levels of padding over the course of a decade. ultimate monkey's paw and I regret ever asking.

Yes

Yes

>>740210137
I have no interest in these games because of the time-janny-sequel aspect. But the fact that these games are entirely separate and there's no save transfer still boggles my mind. How do people accept this?
>>
>>740210164
They're prequels, not sequels.
>>
>>740210137
At least 2 games. I don't know why so many people can't understand that you can't just scale up direct recreations of a ps1 game to a modern open world design, add literally nothing else, and have it not be an uncanny empty experience

may you live long enough to see everything you love fall yo ruin.

It's crazy if you ever replay FF7 and see just how expertly paced it was. Midgar was a long section but it still moved pretty quick so that the game could send you out to explore, but in the remake they stretched absolutely everything in Midgar out to last as long as it possibly could.

The sewers and trainyard in the remake are the worst compared to the originals, since they used to just be like 2-3 screens and then you were moving on instead of side areas that take an hour to navigate.
>>
>>740212338
Who was asking for an open world? Have a world map, it's fine, people understand abstraction.

I defended the multi-part approach at first, but looking at the horrible padding they had to stick everywhere, how unnecessary most of the additions were, and how pointlessly embellished the central scenes, yeah, it should've been one game. It could've been done, but they just wanted it to be a cash cow. Fuck square enix
>>
>>740211292
I guess that's what happens when you have 3+ year gaps. Reminds me how Phantom Menace was shot on 35mm film and then the second and third movies were shot on videotape, kek.
>>
I personally think the final game is going to be titled Redemption. There are only so many words that start with R that would fit into the narrative/theme, so you can narrow it down. It's the final game, and I feel like redemption would fit it, but redemption is a bit too long and fancy, so I doubt they'll use it. It'd have to be something simpler but also shorter to say. I really don't think it's return because that seems boring.

OG ff7 still better than Nomura's shit
>>
>>740216912
The entire remake trilogy will be forgotten after a month when it's finally done, doomed to only be discussed by the obsessive nohopers who cling to this IP due to an unhealthy attachment to the characters. The world will move on, but this dwindling group of autistic balding millennials will still insist the trilogy was a phenomenal success and continue discussing it like the shit movie that came out 20 years ago that nobody but them cares about.
tl;dr: The OG will continue to be a classic, the remake trilogy will be tossed on the garbage pile like all other compilation trash.

I FUCKING HATE REAL TIME TWITCH ACTION BUT ALSO PARTY TURN BASED RPG AT THE SAME TIME GAMEPLAY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Maybe if they actually gave them AI when you weren't controlling them and they could build meter on their own but NO GOTTA AUTISTICALLY SWITCH BACK AND FORTH FOREVER WITH THE MOST DOGSHIT CAMERA AND TARGETTING SYSTEM EVER CREATED

>>740210164
this
it really depresses me how many people still haven't realized that "re-make" was intended as a pun, and these games are reimaginings/sequels in disguise. it is a series of action games with best-in-class combat that takes players on a kind of sightseeing tour of memorable moments and locales from the original game, while still managing to expand on the characters and themes as they resist the "fate" of the preordained story of og ff7
stranger of paradise does something similar in a more oblique way, with every level being a kind of simulacrum of a different game in the series, like a vaguely remembered dream
the FF series as a whole is all about this--cycles, fantasies, dreams, death, rebirth. the stories are like a death trip, the characters stuck in an inescapable cycle as they try to change a fate that they only barely understand
>>
>>740220781
People dislike them because they're shit, not because of a misunderstanding about a pedantic labelling system.
You can talk in wishy washy vibespeak about what FF is meant to be in the abstract, but who cares? When you're 80 hours deep into the most mundane western style AAA filler and you're bored out of your fucking mind, who gives a fuck about the "themes"

And you'd be saying all this shit no matter what you got.
>>
>>740219248
If non-controlled characters can build meters of their own, then aren't you just playing one character only?
>>
>>740220781
this is exactly the kind of aspie shit I hear in every single youtube video where an unironic tranny tries to convince me everyone who dislikes an objectively shit game is good actually
>>
>>740222702
Then change it to where you have to switch to them to use meter
There are a bunch of different ways they could have made it work better than it does
>>
>>740220781
so technically it's "key jingling" for FF7 fans, tourists and larpers
>>
Imagine if you took the village section in RE4 and turned that into an entire game and saved the rest for another remake
That's what this shit feels like, can't wait for square to go down under already
>>
>>740210164
And they are consistent with the trend that sequels usually suck
>>
>>740219248
This is probably my biggest complaint about the battle system. If you use your other two party members to heal they almost never heal since they never build their own meter, it's especially bad if you put that materia on them so they can use their own weapon skills and shit.
One of the most downloaded mods for rebirth is a mod to make your party members more aggressive so I wonder if that fixes it.
>>
If they did the overworld like old school games, it could've been 1 game. Doing it like Rebirth/third game means it had to be split up. The asset creation alone is insane for a linear game much less one trying to make a coherent world
>>
>>740210137
would you pay 210$ for a single game?
>>
>>740227032
I think most people on /v/ have by either buying a whole console just for one game, playing an MMO then buying sub time and expansions, swiping for gachas, buying battle passes, buying cosmetic shit, dlc, ect.
>>
>>740210137
Yes, it was a mistake moved by greed
>>
>>740227032
I'll just download pirated when third game comes out.
>>
Demake sucks
Play the original or shut the fuck up
>>
>>740210137
Why is it so confusing?

If they were greedy and indifferent to this, the devs would've just let CC2 finish it and forget it about it afterwards.

That’s just 3 random npcs
>>
>>740228112
I think them handing it off to CC2 in the beginning shows they really really don't give a fuck about it, especially since its the most requested thing from them and they handed it off to a different studio.
Also
>The scope of this project is beyond the norm of any other AAA title, but nobody will ever admit that.
They blew the scope out of proportion themselves. They turned Midgar from a 4 hour section to a 30+ hour long section which is as long as the original game with lots of extra shit they didn't need to do but added to just pad shit out longer so they could sell a part as a full priced game.
People asking for a FF7 remake would of been happy with it having an overworld map like the original, they decided to make it an open world game. People asking for a FF7 remake would of been happy with the mini games already in the base game but they decided to make a whole dev team just for Queens Blood.
The time spent on stupid shit no one wanted like the Kingdom Hearts boss fight at the end of Remake or all the stupid plot changes no one wanted could of been spent just adapting the original like everyone wanted, they made extra work for themselves.

>buying a whole console just for one game
Never, worst I've done was the wiiu for smash, bayo2+1 pack, monhan rise,w101,pikmin 3 and rayman legends
>playing an MMO then buying sub time and expansions
The only MMO's I've played were either freemium and never spent a dime or private servers
>swiping for gachas
Anyone ever involved in a gacha deserves to have their human rights revoked and get turned into kibble once they cant perform manual labor
>buying battle passes
Same as above, but only if the person is above 14
>buying cosmetic shit
If you pay real money for anything cosmetic that cannot be grinded ingame, you deserve the right to flaunt it so anyone in the lobby/server can target and single you out for being a big fucking retard
>dlc
Only acceptable when it is comparable to an actual expansion pack, see: factorio space age
>>

>>740223256

That guy is right
There is some good game hidden deep in that shit though. You can tell that some people actually cared when working on the remakes but it's not enough.
