Remember that you can dislike stuff without making it part of your personality. Report and ignore shitposters that only spam and argue in bad faith.

Some people really need to figure out that you can dislike stuff without making it part of your personality. You don't have to go out of your way to remind everyone every time it comes up, and argue with anyone who does like it.

Oh, no, of course they aren't. I just wanted to make that awkward reference I don't expect anyone to get.
But for anyone paying attention to Cloud and Tifa's relationship instead of pretending it doesn't exist, it's a very natural escalation that will culminate in them fucking on a pile of rocks in part 3 after Tifa looks inside Cloud's heart and mind.
And Aerith is just dead.
The LTD has always been a ridiculous concept.

Admittedly, I played Nioh second, but it's pretty close (and made by Team Ninja, so that's not a surprise). I'd say the biggest differences are that you have a dedicated parry mechanic as well as teammates (though you can turn those off).

I just played through FFX for the first time, slogged my way through Tidus' constant whining and unlikable attitude to get to the Blitz Ball part of the game, and it fucking SUCKS.

How did they fuck it up this bad when they made it look so fucking cool in the opening CG?! Please tell me Tidus gets some personal growth and stops being a fag with daddy issues later in the game. At least Wakka is cool with his racism for sand niggers.

Both games are GOTY material, both are good, but Jimbo is wrong in saying Metaphor's story is better. Metaphor is less subtle both thematically and narratively. The writers from CS1 are good precisely because they assume that the player has at least basic intelligence, and is able to read between the lines. They let you interpret many things on your own, and that's their advantage and vulnerability. An advantage, because the team has learnt well from years of training to tell stories with hints and allusions, without overusing on the nose writing and too much exposition, something Atlus has obvious problems with. Vulnerability lies in the fact that because of such approach, modern audiences, lacking reading and interpretation skills, mistakenly consider the narrative in both Remake and Rebirth as nonsensical and devoid of substance.

>>504747485
I think the funniest thing about this place is the hyperfixation on sales, even though the moment someone brings up XV sales it gets an immediate "who cares" which really shows how futile it all is. This is what happens when you have fans who are desperate to prove, objectively, their games are the BEST using numbers, because they're too insecure to actually discuss them with their own opinions because some mean bully might come along and disagree.

>>504747272
One of the most important themes of VII is the danger of replication and copying. It is for this reason that in the OG Cloud had to realise his identity and recognise that he is not Zack. The VII remake project was always destined to be different and unique, and apparently destined to explain this point through its meta-commentary for all those who failed to figure it out in 1997.

The very thematic nature of VII dictates that the remake trilogy can only remain itself, preserve its integrity and continue the legacy of its predecessor by becoming autonomous and separate from that very predecessor to which it will always be compared.

Anon, it's a metaphor: the trilogy carries on the legacy of the OG just as Cloud takes on Zack's legacy at the end of CC, further going through a major internal schizo-redefinition that culminates in self-realisation as a unique, separated, autonomous entity.

Nobody denies that. What's your point?

My point is that the VII remake project itself is going through the same "arc" as Cloud in the OG. Imagine that the trilogy itself is like a character. Then the remake trilogy's "arc" is basically Cloud's arc from the OG.

>>504761532
Nothing in this page explicitly states that he knows he is not Zack. It does not follow from the fact that he is uncomfortable talking about Zack that he knows he's LARPing. Also this >>504762320.

This. All remake needed to do in order to be a work of genius was to be different from the original. And anyone who disliked it simply didn't understand it, or the original game. It doesn't actually matter what happens in the game, the important thing is that events play out differently.

>>504767368
Without going into spoilers, the ending has sparked a lot of discussion amongst fans. Is the reaction what you expected?

Yes. We’ve had some people who are really positive towards the ending - they really liked it. On the other hand, we’ve had people who maybe weren’t so keen on it and had more negative things to say.

I think that both of those opinions are very valid and worthwhile, and to borrow something that Mr Kitase (FINAL FANTASY VII remake project producer) says, we wanted to inspire speculation and discussion among fans during the gap between the second and third game.

And people are still talking about it. You have positive takes and negative takes, interesting discussions and sometimes they all collide. That’s basically the response we wanted to achieve.

>>504767368
Tifa kiss is canon and his favorite moment so far.

Just as Aerith and Zack's consciousnesses is always in Cloud's soul as a fond memory and source of inspiration, so OG VII lives ‘inside’ the VII trilogy as a legacy and endless source of inspiration, in the form of a series of canonical events and the thematic core of the entire story. Autonomy is not the goal in itself, but a condition of being able to take and carry on the legacy, and of course adding something of your own along the way (new combat system, a ton of mechanics, additional events important to the story etc).

This formula is kinda ideal in a sense: any innovation can be explained by the thematic idea of the value of individuality, any obedience to the canon is explainable by the idea of the value of legacy.
>>
>>504767820
>As you know, I haven't said anything negative about the ending of Rebirth
Jimbo, we both know you have been fighting for the right of people of saying negative things about the remake without someone telling me "you know, i disagree with you because...". You finally got your answer. Hamaguchi himself said "your negative opinions are valid".

I think Rebirth is a great game desu. I'm glad it's getting it's flowers.
Don't have any autistic grudge against it
>>
>>504776954
Based. I prefer to talk about what I liked about it than to obsess over sales figures or award shows, but it is nice to see it getting a signal boost from these recent wins. If there's any justice it will take GOTY at the game awards, but even if it doesn't we know it's done well enough for SE to make part 3, and that's what matters.
>>
>>504777187
To me what matters most is that SE showed they can still make a top tier game.
I think it's a good sign for XVII
>>
>>504777276
As soon as SE make a mainline FF that balances its sidequests in a way that allows for a swift playthrough and story while keeping enough side material for the players who want 100 hours of play from it, everyone is going to say the glory days are back.
Even though I'd say Rebirth is already a return to the glory days, nailing that balance will be what gets the wider public to take notice.
>>
>>504777862
You think Rebirth didn't have that balance?
If you skip the side content you can go through the game quite fast

I get the need for downtime and building rapore with the cast but these are the dullest fucking tasks they could've possibly come up with holy shit.

Honestly, I liked the Hunt Log but if the MSQ was going to be this dull they should've just integrated it into it instead.

It did, that's why I say I think Rebirth is already delivering that. I just think, more than anything else, that's the balance they need to get right in order to get the general public to consider SE and FF back on top in the way they used to be.
>>
>>504778370
Hmm I don't think it's about the gameplay really.
FF just had a lot of mediocre releases over the last 15 years.
It also failed to create a fanbase on the PC platform. Multiplatform release generates more discussion, more hype.. it's a snowball effect.
Look at DD2. The game is considered shit gameplay wise yet it sold well thanks to the multiplatform release and good marketing.
>>
>>504778683
I think FF will be multiplatform much faster than before in future. Wasn't that one of the changes they announced when it was revealed the exclusivity deals weren't good for them financially? Which was a little embarrassing for me personally after I spent so many years arguing in threads about the exclusivity deals being good for SE. Turns out I was wrong, but I've always been good at admitting that when I need to.
>>
>>504779030
The fact you are able to change your opinion as the market develops is important. You have to be adaptable and realize that the Playstation dying in japan isn't good if you want to get good sales.

Yes, SE were making the right decision then, and they're making the right decision now. I guess that means I was also right back then, and right again now. Thanks anon.
