They cannot prevent themselves from shitposting with every single post to 4chan that they make. It's a real mental illness that they suffer from, it's literally impossible for them to make a post without turning it into some sort of shitpost. Like, they literally MUST delete something to make their thread enemy upset. They literally MUST change the pastebin. They cannot help themselves.

First your narrative is that "Yoshitroons" hate Matsuno, now your narrative is that "cultists" are "crashing out" about Tactics "flopping". Tactics is reviewing very positively, btw, has an even higher score than Remake currently (which has a higher score than Rebirth, of course) and I'm guessing we'll get a celebratory sales update for Tactics before we get one for Rebirth.

You have no idea how to keep your own shitpost narratives straight, small little man. It's pretty funny.

FFT's success is a good thing and all, but the drama is where the cultists celebrate their victory just because the cult leader has his name in the game's credits, as if he's the one who made the game.

>>
>>541223667
Sadly true. It's their entire singular world view. Yoshida is involved, so he must seethe, and he must project his schizo head canon into the universe so that he has "someone" to rage against, never actually realizing that he is his own seethe - both his own seethe and the seethe he creates for himself when he crafted a bogeyman who holds every opinion that would cause him to become upset.

God, that would be so funny, but in reality I think that making everything a cutscene would actually cost them more money than just making Part 3 in the style of Rebirth, because all of the assets are built out already. I genuinely think that it would cost SE more money to go from Rebirth into Xenogears disc 2.

>>541248318
Because SE hoped Rebirth would out the gate surpass Remake. It probably didn't. And because it didn't SE did a deep dive on it's business structure to figure out what happened.

In that process they realized they were burning too much cash on HD games that no one was buying and putting out their big hitters too close to each other. XVI and Rebirth do not even have a year gap and nothing outside of FF and DQ were even hitting six figures on units sold. Console exclusivity also wasn't helping anything. A number cruncher probably got to finally point out to his boss the premium they got from Sony to launch on PS exclusively was no longer making up the potential gain from PC and XBox sales (although I suspect this was realized years ago Rebirth was just on the ass end of the Sony exclusive period)

So internally they focused on a restructure of their dev divisions and in that restructure marketing probably got told "Dont fucking announce shit on sales until we are done with this restructure" so that retarded investors didn't pop up with their commentary "well Rebirth sold X million so why do we need to change anything"

tldr: didnt hit mark and announcing numbers wasn't practical at the time

Better question, why haven't they updated XVI's sales? The game is already on PC it can't be stuck at 3 million, right?

I'm glad it happened. Now they won't be releasing exclusive games anymore.
>>
>>541249803
>Because SE hoped Rebirth would out the gate surpass Remake.
I don't know why anyone would ever be so retarded as to think this. Even a retard could have anticipated this. I was telling the VIIRgin shitposters who spent 9 months shitposting about XVI's 3 million sales that Remake "only" sold 3.5 million in comparison, on a platform that everyone actually owned (PS4) compared to a platform that no one owns (PS5), and so they are setting themselves up for failure by shitposting XVI's 3m sales, because Rebirth has multiple hurdles to overcome which it will certainly fail to do. Remake's 3.5m (on PS4) isn't even that many more sales than XVI's 3m (on PS5) to begin with, and not only that but in order to buy Rebirth you must have played and liked Remake, and also own a PS5. It was never going to surpass 3.5m sales, not in anyone wildest dreams, but it's very sad and perhaps a bit too revealing that they weren't even capable of announcing 3m sales like they did for XVI. And then if you have to say "wooo, yaaay, 2 million sales!" after the previous entry got 3.5m sales, and after the game that /ffg/ never stops shitposting about got 3m sales, and on top of that it's Final Fantasy fucking VII, the most lauded and iconic JRPG of all time, well it would just be too sad to even think about if SE had to say "look, 2m sales, of our flagship of flagship IPs!"

Not him, but it would be an improvement if that's what /ffg/ was. Lightning avatarfag (and real Vanillefag) would have to abstain for maybe even an entire year before the stink of Paulie wore off of them, and Paulie would probably just switch to posting Tifa while shitposting about Aerith because he's a shipper but not really because canon couple isn't shipping right and Aerith is dead... honestly, I just can't even see this thread turning into waifufagging without the usual suspect using it to shitpost. /ffg/ is completely hopeless and needs to die.

Not a zoomer by any stretch, I just didn't read VGcats. Or any web comics really. I binged a lot of 8-bit theater once, and I've seen a few xkcd ones, that's about it.

Actually, I kinda liked Pictures for Sad Children. I didn't keep up with it, just binged it once or twice, but I tried to check it out a couple years ago and I found out that the creator trooned out, killed the website, took a bunch of preorder money for books, shipped about half of the books with a dead wasp inside of it (one of the jokes), and then burned the rest because he got tired of procuring dead wasps or something. Coincidentally, one of the main characters is a ghost named Paul.

Like there is SO much story reveal that will happen right now. If we take in account how they like to strool around and add new stuff to it, how will they handle it? Like 60 hour main story or what?

>Another game introduced new ground breaking graphics for the time and cinematic approach to storytelling
If we're talking about the conjunction of these attributes, then I mean VII and X. Classical games conceived its presentation more as a theatrical performance, with diorama-like worlds, miniature characters actively gesturing and so on. They still feel like a puppet shows. Sometimes you can see some cinematic techniques being used (VI's opening), but theatrical puppet show-like presentation shows itself a lot. Fantasian, Sakaguchi's latest game, was inspired by his latest VI playthrough. Here's what he had to say in one of his latest interviews:
>Yes, there are certain cut scenes and camera cuts where we get a little fancy, but the overall feeling or sensation is a puppet show. I’m really glad that you specifically chose the word β€˜puppet show,’ because that is kind of what we were going for.
The love for staging in the style of puppet theatre is especially evident, in my opinion, in IX, the game Guch said about: " it's closest to ideal view of what Final Fantasy should be". Of course, the theatrical scene from VI makes more sense in this whole context. Takashi Tokita, the director of IV, has a theatrical background and is a great fan of the craft.

The more film-oriented approach came a little later and has always been more characteristic of Kitase. Here's Kitase's take:
>With Final Fantasy VII, the PS1 graphics chip finally allowed me to use the kind of cinematic presentation that had been my ideal all along. We needed a style of visual depiction that would naturally be accepted like a film is, and it was the PS1 that made that possible for the first time.
I would say that VII was a trial run and Sakaguchi controlled a lot of things there, while in X Kitase's approach fully emerged. The man graduated from the film studies dept of Nihon University for a reason I guess.

This is dumb cope because squaresoft was pushing out groundbreakers un a regular basis in their heyday and people weren't getting sick of them because they were some of the best games out there. People aren't biting with new FF games because they've just been dragging the series through the mud with endless slop while their competitors have been steadily improving their craft. This is karmic justice.
>>
Be honest: do you really think the latest games were subpar to how it used to be?
For me, both Remakes and Rebirth are some of the best JRPG ever.
XVI is disappointing.
XV is disappointing too since it was rather half-baked when it was first released but at least the DLCs improved somewhat and sales were strong.
XIII is.. idk honestly. I thought the trilogy was a mistake, but the first game is actually good and could have ended there.
XII is top notch through and through.
And honestly I still dont think any JRPG franchise that is still better than this.

>FFI
Yeah it's true. Let's say III introduced BEEG modification of this system, allowing freely change between jobs. I think it was a milestone too. MAN WE HAVE TO AGREE ON THIS MIDDLE GROUND.
>Another game introduced mini-games
>FFI
Completely forgot that little puzzle mini-game, ANON YOU'RE SO SMART :O I'll try to be more precise: it was VII that introduced the idea of the game as an amusement park with a lot of mini-games and their greater importance in playthrough. I think this was an important change.
And putting aside the new story and world in each FF game, it's probably also important to note the transition from mostly high fantasy (I-V) to a more modern visual style (VI), which gave rise to one of the first holy wars within the fanbase later.

Essentially, regardless of these historical clarifications, the essence of the thesis remains the same: a certain balance is needed between the new and the traditional. Currently, this means shifting toward saving and modifying those aspects of recent games that worked well and were well received. This will allow SE to create games packed with content in a shorter timeframe, rather than releasing yet another barebones project that would ideally need another two years in development. This will also help resolve the numerous schisms in the franchise's perception and establish a more cohesive brand image.

The gaming industry has never been bigger. Tons of companies are still making insane profits off of gachashit and other SAAS games. Look at Square's competitors.
Persona 5 alone has sold 10 million copies.
Baldur's Gate 3 has sold 15 million copies.
DQ3HD2D sold 2 million copies.
Expedition 33 is a new IP from a new company and it sold 4 million copies despite being a turn-based game which SE thought was dead.
>but it was platform exclusive
If they thought they'd make more money from sales then they wouldn't take the exclusivity agreement. The FFVII remake would've been a generational hit if they didn't drive the franchise into the ground. It's their fault. They screwed the pooch.

Nah, it was a mistake. Scope creep that necessitated splitting one game into three was a mistake. I say this as someone that loved Remake and Rebirth. The games were great and I personally enjoyed them a lot, but I can acknowledge that many people don’t feel the same way as I do, and don’t want to pay three times and invest 120+ hours into completing one story that originally only took one single $50 purchase and 40 hours to complete.

Unfortunately, making this claim causes oneguy to think that you're his Yoshitroon cultist enemy and also that you're every single post he hasn't liked for the past several years, except for ones which might appear (to him) as if they are sarcastically praising Remake, and those are all posts Jimbo made.

>We could've gotten a new major FF or two in that time.
Yes, if CS1 was not tied up with VII Remake for a decade we could have at least had 1 new FF game, with a second one in the works if not fully finished. However, we got a Remake of a 25 year old game that we are required to purchase 3 separate copies of over the span of 10 years and 2 console generations in order to actually experience. Be thankful. It's what everyone always wanted.
>>
>>541309641
You are right.
But honestly, I believe when they said that FF7 cannot be remade into one game. It would massively sacrifice fidelity.
I think a middle way solution would be to lessen the padding and finish releasing three games in around 5 to 6 years max.
>>
>>541309641
It would've worked in another world with a more competent company. There's a shit ton of backstory and content that was made for VII that never made it into the game that they could've explored more, but stuff like seeing how the working stiffs above the plate are still affected by shinra and get magic cancer don't make for epic setpieces unlike cutting the shinra building in half in a dream sequence and defying your fate by pummeling the shit out of a giant retcon revenant.

If Square Enix decided to do a massive scale 3D Remake of Chrono Trigger which they decided to split into 3 separate games over the span of a decade, replete with open world slop and minigames, I wouldn't be happy I'd be pissed.

FF7 is a much bigger game both in story telling and world, with a proper 3 arc set. Chrono trigger doesnt have that. Where would you cut it?
>>
>>541318734
You're missing the point, likely on purpose.
OG VII is only a 30-40 hour experience. Chrono Trigger is a ~20 hour experience.
If they found a way to turn a 30-40 hour experience into 3 separate games and at least 1 DLC spread out across the span of 10 years and 2 console generations, then they could theoretically find a way to do it for Chrono Trigger as well.

>FF7 is a much bigger game both in story telling and world, with a proper 3 arc set.
Only partially true. It's a much bigger game, because the PSX allowed for much bigger games, honestly to the detriment of the genre. SNES RPGs were more streamlined and better paced games. The PSX introduced true JRPG bloat that gave us things like the 100 hour Persona series. If they wanted to expand upon Chrono Trigger, they very well could. There's also at the very least 2 arcs, but if Square Enix wanted to pull a Remake and turn it into 3 games, it could just as easily be 3. You have the beginning up to Magus, you could have the Zeal arc be its own 40 hour game that could turn into 160 hours if you wanted to 100% it just like Rebirth, and then you could have the post-Zeal arc including Black Omen and Lavos be its own game.

>>
>>541319668
Have you even played Chrono Trigger? It's seeming a lot like you haven't. Post-Zeal you recruit Magus, they could expand this and give us more lore which there could easily be tons of. We could explore more of the post-Zeal 12,000 BC period, which is barely touched on at all in the original game. Black Omen could be turned into a Magus arc, because it is, and if you fight Queen Zeal with Magus he has unique lines and plays his own battle theme, and there are even 3 Black Omens and they could add more lore here and actually require you to beat them in the future->past order. They could make reviving Crono mandatory, and that could be its own whole thing. They could even end Part 2 with Crono's (much more impactful) death to Lavos just like Rebirth ends with Aerith's death.

Like I said, you're missing the point, which at this point is clearly on purpose. If they can turn a 30-40 hour game into a 200+ hour experience sold separately in 3 installments across 10 years and 2 console generations, then they could just as easily turn a 20 hour game into at the very least a 120 hour experience sold separately in 3 installments across 10 years and 2 console generations, and if they did that to my favorite JRPG then I'd be fucking pissed, not happy.

I know you want to believe this is what they did with ff7 but they didnt. FF7 has a bigger scale and the 3 arcs structure feels more natural.

If you can believe it, there are definitely people who would defend anything Square Enix did with this hypothetical 3-part Chrono Trigger Remake no matter what, just because they get to spend more time with the characters as well as getting more lore. They could even really expand on the Millennial Fair and turn it into a nice minigame theme park for all the people who need to have tons of minigames that they probably don't even play.

>>541320997
It's possible to Remake what was originally a single game without turning it into a bloated 3-game trilogy. There can be a middle ground, you know. A Remake does not necessarily need to be 3 separate games produced over the course of a decade across 2 different console generations. A Remake could just be one game, and then you could play it, enjoy it or not, and then move on with your life instead of being strung along for another [X] amount of years while you wait for the company to make the rest of the game that was only originally one game, but that they decided to split into 3 separate games due to corporate greed and quite honestly what is evidentially delusions of grandeur regarding the true public perception of Final Fantasy VII.

That is exactly what they did with VII Remake. I still can't believe the sheer audacity of actually having the gall to turn 1 game into 3 games. Has that ever been done before? Will that ever happen again in the future? Probably not.

Not Final Fantasy VII, at the scale of what Remake is doing right now.
Even Midgar and the open world clashes badly it would not be possible to be coherent in a single game.
Why does being episodic make you hate anyway? Do you not have the money to spare? Does it diminish your attention? I never felt that way.
Of course not having a new mainline title in 6 years is regrettable, but it's life you cannot expect to get everything at once.
>>
If you had gone back in time and told me that Midgar could be its own game, I would have believed you, and I would have expected an expanded Midgar where you explore more of the Sectors as well as the upper plate. However, the "Midgar as its own game" that we did get was nothing like this. It was pretty much just the parts of Midgar that we see in the original, with some extra fluff added.

The reason you pretend that you cannot imagine Square Enix greedily turning a a different Remake of one (1) game into three (3) separate games spread out over 10 years and across 2 different console generations is because you have never actually seen a Remake truly expand on the original. You have only seen a Remake add extra unnecessary fluff to pad out playtime hours and attempt to justify splitting it off into 3 games, not one that truly expands upon the content available in the original game. You lack imagination, and you haven't actually seen it done before, so even though I've outlined the ways in which a different game could be quite unfortunately turned from 1 game into 3 games, you still can't picture it, because Remake didn't actually add anything besides fluff.

>>541323898
>Not Final Fantasy VII, at the scale of what Remake is doing right now.
>Even Midgar and the open world clashes badly it would not be possible to be coherent in a single game.
Please read my above thoughts on this matter. If you had told me that the VII Remake would have Midgar as its own game, I would have expected to be able to explore all of Midgar. Instead, we just got the same stuff we already had with a suggestive joke massage parlor thrown in there. There was no actual expansion, just a few busy work sidequests that didn't exist in the original.

>Why does being episodic make you hate anyway?
...what? You are fundamentally misunderstanding the issue with turning 1 game into 3 artificially bloated games if that's what you're getting from this.

Why do you assume this is what the players wanted? It's only the first game. We are terrorists we shouldn't be walking around the whole city. The story in the original did not go that way either.

Why does being episodic make you hate anyway?
Meanwhile, did you not spend time in Remake exploring a pretty huge chunk of Midgar? Going to upper plate with Jessie and raiding Shinra storage? Did Remake Midgar feel as cramped as it was in the OG? How does the Shinra dungeons not impress you when it actually feels like a real corporate building compared to the OG?

>>541324958
>Why do you assume this is what the players wanted?
Why do I assume that players wanted to see more of Midgar than we see in the original game if it was tasked with being its own standalone video game experience? Well... you see, it's because Midgar in the original game is maybe like 5 hours, so if you wanted to turn a 5 hour experience into a 40 hour experience to justify its existence as its own game, you'd kinda have to expand on it, right? But nope, no expansion, just Whispers which didn't exist in the original and some sidequest bloat. That's it. No more or Midgar than we see in the original 5 hour experience.

>Why does being episodic make you hate anyway?
I already answered this. It doesn't. You are fundamentally misunderstanding the issue I am trying to express, likely on purpose.
>>
>>541325593
Do you not happy with the padding we get in the Remake? We already got the 40 hr mark there.
If you want to cruise through Midgar then the story would have to accommodate to the changes, leading to even more backlash from purists. You can't just expect to stroll on there without a purpose or mission.
It will be revisited in part 3 anyway. Part of being episodic is that you don't have to show it all in the first try.

I'm just disappointed that one (1) game was turned into three (3) separate games to be released over the span of 10 years across 2 different console generations, and that they didn't even try to justify making each experience its own game. They literally turned a 5 hour section of the game into its own game and they didn't even truly add anything to it. It's still the same exact shit you do in OG Midgar, you don't get to see any of the rest of Midgar that you don't see in OG. Just a bunch of random Nomura bloat like Whispers and Roche. I do not truly feel as if Remake deserved to be its own game, nor do I truly feel as if Rebirth deserved to be its own game, considering the original game was one (1) game and was about 40 hours and the new games don't really add or expand upon anything, it's just the same shit but bloated and padded. Not actually anything extra to justify there needing to be additional games.

Now, if they had actually expanded upon the original game by exploring different things and areas that were not in the original, such as Remake showing us all of Midgar, then I would probably have a different opinion and I might feel as if the Remake Trilogy is justified in its existence as 3 separate games. But nah, as it stands, they stretched a 5 hour experience into a 40 hour game, didn't even add anything to it, and then they did the same with Rebirth, and they'll probably do the same with Part 3.

Half of the OG's script takes place in Disc 1 Midgar Anon. Literally half the game is Midgar. Disc 3 only contains FMVs, audio, and Northern Crater data.
>>
>>541327116
Who said anything about discs? Midgar is about 5 hours of the OG VII. Do you disagree? If so, why would you lie like that?

>Literally half the game is Midgar.
Nope. You spend about 5 hours of a 30-40 hour game in Midgar.

>Disc 3 only contains FMVs, audio, and Northern Crater data.
Okay, so now whatever you're trying to spin is gonna backfire on itself. Let me introduce you to your paradox. You think half of the game is Midgar, but what they did with Remake is they stretched 5 hours of game into 40 hours of game without actually adding anything new, just a bunch of artificial padding like Roche and Whispers and Massages and Tifa doing monkey bars. That's just insane first off, but then we get to Rebirth and Rebirth is even more bloated, and according to you encompasses a smaller portion of the game than Remake did. I don't even know what you're doing talking about disc 3, I can only speculate. You might be trying to make the Remake games analogous to the discs, but that's not really accurate and would also accidentally assert that Part 3 is only going to be FMVs, audio, and Northern Crater data, but obviously that's not true.

>>541325848
You should argue if changes would be better or worse and why by using your own opinion, not just by referring to an imaginary purist complaint that makes every change not worth doing by default.

Having Genesis show up 10 minutes into Remake would have been bad, and I can say so without "because purists would complain"
But if someone says "I'd have liked less bloat" you can't really invoke "well purists would complain anyway" as a convincing argument in the bloats favour.

I personally would like unlockable costumes for replays. And I'd like access to hard mode from the beginning. You can't just tell me they don't count because
>uh well if you got what you want purists would complain
The spectre of this purist strawman is being used repeatedly to essentially say "just don't say anything bad about anything we got because anything different would have been complained about"
Who even cares about these mystical complainers? Why not just talk with your own opinions? If you think the changes others are mentioning are a bad idea, say so and explain why using your own thoughts.

But he still has to shoot it down like "nah you wouldnt like it" or "nah someone else wouldnt like it" so I guess I shouldn't have said anything. It's a very transparent attempt to shut down anyone saying they'd have liked VIIR to be different in any way.

Sorry anon but when you deflect with accusations of "purist" as often as you do someone eventually notices that you talk entirely about metaphorical hater purist opinions instead of your own.
All we're asking you to do is to talk using your own opinions instead of dismissing everyone else's because of "the purists"

It's insecurity. He's happy to tell anyone who thinks the remake games could be improved in any way that they're inherently wrong to even say so because, uh, people would complain anyway.

The idea of a Dead Space-style remake of VIIβ€”a so-called 1:1 remakeβ€”goes against everything VII teaches as a story. If such a game existed, its existence would conflict with the core messages of VII.

>>541331880
Yeah, if you're not on-level, the story fights are very difficult, and many of the early fights have level and gear bumps. You'll have an easier time if you focus on leveling 2 males with physical jobs and 2 females with magic jobs, all of which with neutral or better zodiac with each other and starting brave/faith around 70, and then get everyone auto-potion. You don't really need more than the second tier of jobs for the whole game.

It's like you guys are asking for my "FFVII remake rewrite" posts
here we go!

In these posts, im gonna rewrite some of FFVII remake, keeping most of it but changing some intents in some scenes and general presentation. Im doing this as an excercise to improve my writing and for autistic purposes since i always wanted to be a game dev/producer or some shit but im stuck as an engineer earning 6 figures doing excel sheets.

>Chapter 1
Rewrite the scene of the bombing. In the vanilla version, the bomb doesnt do shit and Shinra willingly destroys its own reactor. In my version of that scene, Avalanche successfully manages to disable the reactor, but it doesnt trigger a big explosion. We see a scene of president shinra and Heidegger discussing this. President Shinra asks about the protection against bombs, heidegger says it didnt work and the president is pissed. He instructs Heidegger to destroy the reactor completely then and walks away, implying: It's a pain in the ass to fix the reactor or even unfixable and the president doesnt want avalanche to win without any casualities, so they willingly escalate things so the public reception of avalanche is destroyed. Just a fix in presentation to get the idea better.

>Chapter 2:
Rewrite the first sephiroth meeting. In my version of the cutscene, Cloud takes less time to walk to sephiroth, and they no longer have a conversation. Instead, Sephiroth just walks away, and we get one scene of Sephiroth looking back at Cloud, with a serious/expressionless look (basically pic related, which the scene of Anakin Skywalker looking at the camera in revenge of the sith). Cutscene ends, sephiroth banishes and Cloud is like "wtf was that". All of this, triggered by the fire, are memories from nibelheim that we see when the sequence starts. Remove Sephiroth appearance when you meet Aerith, completely. Im not quite sure what to do with the whispers, specially since i dont know whats part 3 gonna do, but i dont want to "just remove them bro".

>The idea of a Dead Space-style remake of VIIβ€”a so-called 1:1 remakeβ€”goes against everything VII teaches as a story.
ChatGPT? Why are you making posts with AI?

Anyway, no one was talking about a 1:1 Remake except for the VIIR defender, and he was creating this person and this narrative out of thin air as a means to neglect engaging with what was actually being said by people. In actuality, the person he is upset at wanted more changes, and he himself was advocating against being able to see more of Midgar because >>541324958
>"The story in the original did not go that way either."
and yet this person is also the guy bringing up the mythical purist who would be upset no matter what to attempt to diffuse the situation of dealing with people's opinions. (see: >>541320997)

He seems to be creating fake arguments that no one is saying and then arguing against those fake arguments that he himself made while refusing to engage with the actual opinions stated in the posts he replies to.
>>
>>541332727
>Chapter 3
Change Sephiroth expression from happy to serious when he attacks cloud through Marko (i keep these scenes where Sephiroth doesnt talk because its perfectly fine for Cloud to have these personal visions. It is PTSD after all, one-sided). Remove the sidequest of cat finding.

>Chapter 4
The same. I dont think it needs changing. Probably just tone roche down a little, but keep it light hearted and crazy.

>Chapter 5 and 6
Mix them into one (for those who dont know, chapter 5 and 6 are the train / underplate section, and it goes too long). However, dont make it like the original where they get off the train and immediately find the entrance to reactor 5. There has to be some plotting around the party having a plan to find the entrance, following stamps graffitis.

>Chapter 7
The same

>Chapter 8
Remove the whispers at the beginning "saving Cloud" from the fall. He just falls and has the vision of his true self with sephiroth intervening. Reduce the time you spend walking to Sector 5 with aerith, probably just remove some small detours the game does. The general idea of having Cloud bond with Aerith is core and should be kept. Remove the sidequest where you have to find the kids but keep the part where you have to beat the hedgehog pie king.

>Chapter 9
Reduce the robot minigame amount from 3 to 2, and make both a little trickier to do. Hard mode no longer forces you to do them.
Change wall market music to the opressed people (remake version, the one you hear when you meet the bandit group. It is perfect), but keep the honey bee inn music when you get near it. Add male strippers to the honey bee inn, make it degenerate and gay, yes, i am serious, that should be the whole point. Remove the scene when you get to Corneo's mansion and they sleep you with sleep powder, instead you just walk where Tifa is.

>Chapter 10
Reduce the amount of time you spend in the sewers, just make it a little smaller.
>>
>>541329334

>Then it's even weirder that there's TWO MORE ENTIRE GAMES afterwards

>>
>>541332865
>Chapter 11
Reduce the amount of time you spend in the train graveyard, just make it a little smaller.

>Chapter 12
Delete the whispers completely except when you are about to get to the pillar, theres a scene where Aerith is trying to connect with the planet and the whispers appear to block you. I like that because it gives you the idea that Aerith knows exactly what they are and that they are connected to the planet, they are not just random ghosts, its subtle and it gives the idea that aerith is begging the planet to let them save sector 7 and not just go through the motions. Delete the scene with Aerith helping betty back. Remove the music playing when the plate is falling. Add a scene of the upper plate perception of the plate fall for impact purposes, my suggestion would be Jessie dad and mom having one last touching moment before they feel an earthquake and bam, it goes to black.

>Chapter 13
Add smoke and more debris when you visit sector 7 destroyed. Add NPCs crying for their missing loved ones and kids NPC crying like "wheres my dad, wheres my mom", implying a lot of people died but not necessarily everyone, its natural that some had the time to escape. Keep the scene of Sephiroth haunting Cloud since it is my favorite, but change his dialogue slightly. Make it more "personal" to Cloud, not like exposition to the player. In the Vanilla dialogue hes making a point on Cloud strong desire to be strong and a hero, but fails to do so, showing seph desire to break him. In my version, he would say something more general like "You failed. What kind of hero are you? You are pathetic" as he walks towards Cloud with a serious look. More like his own mind is fusing two of his greater fears/PTSD.

>Chapter 14
Leslie stuff is now a sidequest. You just get the hookshot and can finish the chapter immediately if you want to. Make all the sidequests accesible and not linked to each other, letting the player choose what to do.
>>
>>541333009
>Chapter 15
Change nothing, it is my favorite chapter.

>Chapter 16
Add a couple of optional places you visit and engage in some small minigames. Make it more apparent that the only reason Hojo remembers Cloud as a non-soldier is because of Sephiroth showing up. Keep the scene of palmer seeing sephiroth, but make it clear that it is a clone. Remove sephiroth vision in the VR, it doesnt play a role. Red XIII is calmed, not given memories, and he knows the whispers because they play a role in the planet future and since hes from cosmo canyon, he knows something.

>Chapter 17
Hojo no longer puts you to a test, instead you explore his lab and fight monsters that got freed. By who, you ask? Jenova. In the vanilla version, at the beginning of the chapter you get told by the mayor that in order for you to escape you have to run to the top of the building for a chopper. In my version, the mayor instead tells you that avalanche is attacking but you should just escape, but that he just recieved news that something happened in the floor you are in and that you should be careful. Something attacked the personnel, there are bodies everywhere and apparently the tracks go up, the mayor doesnt know because the cameras arent working. Cloud think this is sephiroth/jenova and they decide to check it out. Thats when you go through Hojo's lab finding all kind of monsters, eating scientists corpses and stuff, you follow basically the path of destruction until you get to Jenova's tube and you get the confirmation. That implies the removal of the scene where you find Sephiroth next to the jenova capsule and block Cloud attack at the beginning of the chapter. You get topside and things happen the overall the same, but delete Barret stabbing scene. Instead just have him support in the fight versus Jenova.
>>
>>541331668
Yes Anon, Midgar is half the story and 30% of the script. These are not mutually exclusive concepts. Maybe once you get into high school you'll learn the difference.
Now please explain how Midgar being 30% of the script doesn't justify Remake being 33% of the 3 part series.
>>
>>541333215
>Chapter 18
Remove the whispers saving you from the falling chopper when you are escaping. Now, Motorball is a proper boss. You fight him in the bike, and you think you won, but then you get to the end of the highway, motorball appears, send the vehicles away and fights you properly. Now, instead of finding sephiroth waiting for you, you find him carrying jenova, floating, you basically catch up with him. For the first time in the game, he smiles back and aknowledges Cloud/Party and specially Aerith, triggering the whispers and everything happens. Removed Zack entirely from the ending. Only the harbinger is the final boss, not sephiroth. Sephiroth and Cloud fight at the end of the Edge of the creation is playable, but it is a fight you lose. He parries everything Cloud does and you cannot do anything to him. Sephiroth basically plays with you juggling you, laughing until Cloud is 1 hp, thats when you get a new limit (multislash or something similar to omnislash but not THE omnislash) which triggers the cutscene where he blocks it and sends your sword away, and thats when the fight stops and we get the "lets us fight Destiny together" scene and stuff. MAYBE make the battle winnable in hard mode, for gameplay purposes.
The last scene is the same except this is done at the end of highway rather than in Midgar area.
I dont know what to do with Zack, i dont know if it should be introduced in rebirth or at the end here, but i like the idea of him and his depressing "alternate world" in rebirth so i dont know.

>I'm sorry you didn't get your 1 for 1 rebuild of the OG
The only person saying anything about a 1:1 Remake is the very dedicated VIIR defender who uses it as a strawman which he uses to dismantle all criticisms. I didn't say anything about a 1:1 Remake, and in fact I'm apparently wanting change when I say that Remake should have been *all* of Midgar if they wanted to justify it existing as its own game, but the same guy bringing up 1:1 purists also said himself that we can't have all of Midgar in Remake because (>>541324958)
>"The story in the original did not go that way either."
so his narrative that he is creating where he creates enemies out of nowhere, manufactures arguments for these fake enemies to have, and then argues against the person and argument of his own creation, while replying to someone who is saying something largely unrelated, is just very strange.

Anyway, what I actually wanted was a totally bananas "Evangelion Rebuild" of VII. That's what I truly wanted the Remake Trilogy to be. That's not what it is though. So if it's not going to be totally bananas crazy, and it's not going to be a 1:1 Remake either, then it at least should add *something* to the game, like perhaps the "Midgar" game could feature all of Midgar, but nope, that's not what happened, and because that isn't what happened, the VIIR defender is making up arguments and arguing against them while thinking that he's arguing with me. Of course, the irony is that if we had actually gotten all of Midgar in Remake, he'd be defending that too, because all he does is defend what we got, and he thinks that expressing an opinion that is wanting more than what we got is verboten.

To continue this line of thought, a remake of X shouldn't exist, because sometimes you have to accept that something is gone, gone forever, and won't return. This is the message I believe X taught first and foremost, so the existence of any remake of X would contradict this fundamental lesson of embracing finiteness in all its possible forms.

That ship set sail long ago. Sephiroth is no longer a jaws-like creature with no real motivation. He's a character with a past, present and a future.
As for the who's in control, thats wasnt really a plot point in the original. It was always established like Sephiroth is the big bad and jenova was no more than a tool that gets a pity boss fight at the end.

You're right. because I don't believe that. This is me >>541326714 and to expound on it the chapter cuts harm the pacing in both games forcing every chapter to do a slow build to its own climax. They aren't even consistent in their use. Some being an excuse to quick travel others just separating a path from the village.

>But if anyone else suggested VIIR could be improved in some way you'd be there to make sure they regret it.
I really don't care one way or the other but when people want to wine about nonsense like "Midgar is only 5 hours why does it have its own game" im going to call them retarded.
Midgar is not 5 hours. Midgar is half of the game. 30% of the script. A 3-part release focusing on just Midgar makes sense. Cutting disc 2 in half to give it more breath and development makes sense. The three part release structure is not a problem for VIIR. It's a benefit.

>Or maybe you'd care to list a few ways in which you think VIIR could be improved?
I think more time should be spent on characters that already existed in the OG rather than inventing new ones or adding Compilation plots into the main story.
I think turning every small plot beat into it's own mini story obscures the main narrative.
I think both materia systems are dogshit compared to the OG and SE should embrace the overpowered nonsense that the OGs system could create instead of trying to reduce it down to a basic magic structure like KH.
I think the Whispers either needed to be removed or actually explained in greater detail.
I think half the lore discourse being a debate over "Multiple worlds" or "life stream bs" is a negative to the story and just Nips trying to copy JJ Abrams mystery box shit.
On that same topic I think the "Sequel or a remake" debate is also equally retarded and should have been answered up front. Again mystery for the sake a mystery that is overshadowing the story and characters.

Since you appear to need a hand let me help you.

I don't care whether or not VIIR can be improved on. The game exists as it was released and fighting over what's been done is pointless.

I do care when retards like yourself want to pollute any discourse with retarded shit like "Midgar is only 5 hours why get a game". This is just factually wrong and only someone who has no idea what the fuck they are talking about would make this claim.

True! But you asked for my thoughts so I provided. If you don't want to talk about those points that's fine but weird to ask for something and do nothing with it. Almost as if you weren't really asking in good faith. Almost as if you don't actually want to talk about VIIR.

>other but when people want to wine about nonsense like "Midgar is only 5 hours why does it have its own game" im going to call them retarded.
Well, Midgar is only 5 hours, and it has its own game, and stating my opinion is not "wine"ing. I just don't think VII Remake is justified in being 3 separate games. An example I provided is that Midgar is about a 5 hour experience in OG, but they turned it into its own game without adding anything except for artificial bloat. You don't really see anything that you didn't already see in the OG 5 hour section of the game.

Now, if they had made the "Midgar" game (Remake) a full exploration of more Sectors and/or the upper plate, that would absolutely have warranted turning a 5 hour experience into a 40 hour product, because more things would have been added. However, the actual product did not add more things, it just made those 5 hours take 40 hours in an attempt to justify artificially inflating a 30-40 hour, single PSX game into a 3 artificially bloated $70 individual games, none of which actually warrant being their own game separate from the others.

And all this stemmed from me saying that I really wish VII Remake had been one game instead of 3. It didn't need to be 3 games. I'm glad VII is not my favorite Final Fantasy game, because I'd be fucking pissed if they bloated my favorite game into 3 separate games which don't actually add anything new and moreover actually get things completely wrong, not even from a stylistic choice but due to a misunderstanding of the plot of the original game.

I'm making a note of this post so that I can reference it in the future. It will be very handy to be able to point to your post and say
>"stop talking about what you did or didn't like about [game], it is already released and there's no point fighting about it, the VIIR defender made it so"

>The three part release structure is not a problem for VIIR. It's a benefit.
To the company, solely for monetary purposes, yes, but it isn't going as well as they'd hoped it would. Their break in case of emergency golden goose isn't getting the numbers they were banking on. Maybe it will all turn around in Part 3 though, if they launch all 3 games which were needlessly splintered as a single ~$80 bundle that normal people can buy, but which normal people would still have a hell of a time getting through, since it's got to be like 200 hour or something ridiculous when it's all said and done.

>I think turning every small plot beat into it's own mini story obscures the main narrative.
Hmm... if they didn't do this, then there wouldn't be enough "content" to warrant turning 1 game into 3 games... but you're saying it warrants being 3 games... so I'm getting mixed messages here.

Barry still comes around every so often, but he's either mellowed out or got a job or some other such responsibility or spends all of his time on /v/ or somewhere else like Twitter rather than in this thread.

>or do we have a new resident autist?
We do have a "new" autist, and he even larped as Barry for a few hours a few weeks ago. He did this to prove it's his enemies who are the shitposters, not him. No one is allowed to talk about anything related to VIIR unless it's unabashed praise. Actually, even praising VIIR too much makes him think that you're his bogeyman and false flagging, but if you say something neutral or negative you're his other bogeyman. If news about VIIR gets released, such as Nomura saying that Sephiroth's sword has an organic quality to it, you're not allowed to talk about that or the implications it might have or the evidence supporting it found in the Ever Crisis gacha game, or else you're just an Aerithfag schizo (his other other bogeyman that he made up)

It's worse if you can believe it, because there are even more FF games that you can't talk about now. Can't talk about XV, can't talk about VIIR, and can't talk about *anything* that come out of CS3 due to its ties, real or otherwise, to Yoshida. XIII and its sequels may also be on this list now. I legitimately think that you're gonna have to try back again in ~20 years if you want to have even the glimmer of hope that things have changed.

Recently we had someone angry for over 3 days because someone said it would be cool to explore more of the upper plate of Midgar in Remake.

>Well, Midgar is only 5 hours,
Midgar consists of 1 entire disc. 33% of the total game. 45.5% of the game if you actually know what's on each disc. 30% of the games script is from Midgar. Midgar is the bulk of the games narrative. It is only 5 hours with cheats.

Do you think the Mass Effect trilogy is justified in being 3 separate games? What exactly is your calculus here? Sincerely asking.

>>541361336
>Do you think this applies to all Final Fantasy games
I think it applies to literally every game ever made. Once a game is out there's little point in arguing over what it could or could not have done better. No one is going to go back and fix it. Square can't even bother to update translations.

>solely for monetary purposes
No. FFVII is already a three act story. Midgar, Temple, Crater. A game dedicated to each of these acts allows 20-40 hours to actually explore each act and breath a bit more in. Remake took advantage of this with the Avalanche cast and life in the slums. The Whispers shit however I think is a mistake.
In the OG everything after Temple is where the story loses its pacing. It falls back to a collect the dragon balls story arc and retreads the entire world over for Act 3. Even the second Act is sped through chasing after Sephiroth. Rebirth gives some life to every POI visited in the OG. Giving Act 2 it's own game is a positive even if I think it spends too much time on the relationships just to drive the knife deeper.
I have high hopes for Part 3 Act 3 because that has always been VII's weakest area. Giving it an entire game should be an over all positive for the story.

>I'm getting mixed messages here.
There is a way to tell side stories that does not detour the game away from the main plot. Rebirth failed at this imo

>>
>>541363445
>Would be shocking if true and could be proven.
Well, just take my image, for example: >>541361782

The story behind this is that the Nomura quote pictured... is a Nomura quote. That is a word-for-word Nomura quote. He said that in an interview. When it was posted here, the VIIR defender (singular) said (or almost said?) that it was a joke and not to be taken serious, but I recall a lot of hesitancy in saying something like this. Anyway, I thought it was interesting, so I dug deeper into what it could mean, and someone had made a YouTube video going over the current episodes of Ever Crisis and how they are trying to paint parallels between the forging of the Masamune and Sephiroth burning everything down in Nibelheim. Extrapolating on this, it seems that Jenova is tied to these events, including the forging of Masamune, and that Jenova may be sort of "possessing" the Masamune, and moreover that Angeal's Buster Sword may have properties which help safeguard its user from the influences of Jenova. This, of course, is directly related to VIIR, not only because of Sephiroth and the Masamune and what it might mean with regards to him and Jenova, but also because Cloud is now wielding the Buster Sword, he's suffering Jenovan influence, and we see him place the Black Materia into the Buster Sword at the end of Rebirth. Does this mean the Buster Sword is now corrupted? Can the Buster Sword protect Cloud from Jenova's influence, even through the Black Materia? Etc, etc.

Well, the VIIR defender (singular) did *not* like that I was trying to talk about what this piece of information might actually mean. I posted the video and he threw a tantrum calling me a shill and to stop posting my YouTube channel. Anyway, he apparently watched the video eventually, after crashing out about the whole thing, and then he called me his bogeyman "Aerithfag" for using a word-for-word direct quote from Nomura, instead of "possessed", which is what he wanted to call it.

Keep in mind, "The Masamune's blade has an organic quality to it" is a word-for-word quote directly from Nomura. He got so lost in the sauce of defending VIIR from all criticism that he attacked Nomura thinking that Nomura's words were those of his bogeyman's.

CCU isn't as important as overall sales of a single player game.
They are good indicator of current success for a live service game though.

Actually I have a question.

What emergency do you believe inspired SE to make FFVIIR a three game series?

Keep in mind that VIIR was confirmed to be a three part game in December 2015...
FFXVI was entering early development
FFXV was set to launch the next year (its Sep 2016 date announced three months later in march 2016)
FFXIV ARR had already performed a massive turn around and its first expansion Heavenward had released to high praise and growing the subscriber base.
Hell SE's finances were the best they had been in years
https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/ir/library/pdf/ar_2015en.pdf

So what was the emergency? That KH3 was announced two years prior and they had nothing on it?
>>
>>541377145
>So what was the emergency
There's never been any basis behind it.
It stems from a Yoichi Wada statement were he basically said that if they were to make a VII remake, they would first need to make a game greater than VII. Behind the scenes though, they had already been trying to make VII remake a thing since the late 2000's after crisis core.
>>
There are no more break in case of emergency buttons left to push. Part 3 needs to knock it out of the park.

>Are you newfagging? You might sound disingenuous here.
The other person in that argument is saying that no one is allowed to desire that Remake be any different than what we got. It's a pretty frustrating opinion, and he is *very* opinionated about it.

>The default assumption is to follow the original, then justify whether a change is needed or not.
This is another frustrating aspect of his opinion. He brings up so called 1:1 purists and says that nothing can be any different because those people would be angry. We couldn't have had more of Midgar because it would upset 1:1 purists, he says. He doesn't say that's *his* opinion, instead he is arguing on behalf of people who might exist, but who are not present in this conversation. There's also the fact that, in my opinion, the changes made to Remake, such as Whispers, are not at all justified. I think most of the changes that were made were straight up bad and were not at all justified, such as Whispers and turning 1 game into 3 separate games, but we can't talk about that because the anon desperately trying to control the conversation says that if anything was different than what we got, 1:1 purists would be angry, when what we got already probably makes 1:1 purists upset, and no one in the conversation is even a 1:1 purist, so there's no reason to be making this argument in the first place.

It's just a complete load of nonsense.

This issue seems to compound itself over the years and creates a sort of negative feedback loop where the cult-like religious fanaticism grows stronger and stronger to the point that they constantly imagine opinions that their sworn enemies could hypothetically have, and then they make those arguments on behalf of their imagined enemies, and they also argue against the imagined argument which they themselves created. Sometimes, it even gets to the point where they might see and read a post which they agree with, but they violently lash out at this post anyway not because of its content (which they agree with) but because they imagine that it came from someone who at some point in time held an opinion which made them upset, and this event might have even occurred on a different website than 4chan.

XII, XIII, XV, and XVI all already have auto-battle or auto-battle-like features.

The Pixel Remasters have an "auto-battle" feature which continues to select the previously used command in battle. The Remasters have such powerful cheats, similar to Remake and Rebirth, that you could basically play them as auto-battlers. That's not even mentioning the fact that you could already have beaten these games by just selecting "Attack" 90% of the time, which would just be spamming confirm or in some cases holding the confirm button down.

I think every big Square AAA game is gonna end up on the Switch 2 eventually. Their PC sales just don't seem to be enough for them, even if they claim they did well, the peak player numbers tell a different story. At this point, it looks like Square is betting on Nintendo platform for maximum profit, porting over old stuff and definitely also bringing KH and DQ down the line.

Desperate for a money making franchise hit while spreading their influence as widely as possible. Also can't forget about the spin-offs/sequels that died and/or had a short lived revival.

6 games, died at Crystal Bearers.

Other than 14, once the FF7 train runs dry they'll have nothing else to fall back on regarding the FF brand.

I don't know why you Final Fantasy haters are even here unless you're just shitposters addicted to seething for (You)s.

I'm looking forward to 2027 and seeing what Kiryu's plan for Final Fantasy is. I'm hoping for a gacha game that can bring about a renaissance of real posters on the /ffg/ who are actually talking about something related to Final Fantasy, not just 1-3 schizos shitposting all day for (You)s. Tactics Remaster just came out and is pretty good. There's also the prospect of the IX Remake which may or may not exist.

>>541475815
Oh, damn. That is what's happening, isn't it? The guy complaining about doomers who weren't posting anywhere is the same guy who is doomposting now, isn't he? He got me. I didn't even notice that this is 100% exactly what just happened.

>>541473740
>melts down for days because someone said they wished we had seen more of Midgar in Remake
I liked when he admitted that he'd like that too, but he still feels the need to shut down anyone else saying so, because wanting the remake games to be different in any way is narcissistic.
Don't ask me how that works, or how he engages in any discussion with any media with this mindset, but here we are.
I do wonder if he applies this "logic" to anything other than VIIR. He must do, or else he'd have to face some hard truths about his relationship with the VIIR series.
>>
>>541472561
Don't talk about 16-kun like that. He loves Final Fantasy more than any of us here. So much so that he larped being a Snoy for 2 years and stole some plebbitor's screenshots of the game claiming they were his.

So we can all agree that XII and Rebirth are the most overrated games in the series, right?
>>
>>541477984
narcissist but yeah
>>
>>541522608
Yes it is. The game gives you all the tools you need to break it and it's up to you to determine which of them you feel like using. As other anon says, literally just Auto-Potion and maxing Brave on everyone carries you all the way to chapter 4.

Personally, my favorite challenge runs of the many I've done are "one of each magic class only" and "one each of knight, archer, BM, WM; Ramza can pick any other single job."

There are tons of viable options, a few S tier options, and a lot of absolute garbage. It also helps to know the actual game mechanics (see the BMG https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/197339-final-fantasy-tactics/faqs/3876 )

For example: Knife damage is based on Speed; the best thief is generally a 100 Brave Monk with Attack Boost since Steal is a melee attack with success rate based on Speed; Jump is a special class of skill that is unaffected by Attack Boost, and you should use Doublehand instead; Samurai skills are magic and use your MA stat, so they're best on a Black Mage secondary; starting around the end of chapter 2, many battles have powerful gear to steal with, most notably Meliadoul's Chantage and Elmdore's Genji equipment.
>>
Also, something really interesting I learned yesterday is that Arithmetics deal severely reduced damage (healing and success rates seem fine). I think it's -50%. It's still broken but not nearly so much.
>>
Oh yeah, and nothing in the game is immune to stat damage and also slow works on every ??? boss

One thing I dislike about old FF is that they have the tendency to really hide away cool sublots and cool features. Sometimes my enjoyment is dampened because I'm worrying that I'm going to miss something interesting, but using guides sucks the fun out of the game for me.

XVI kinda feels like one of those games I'll always remember; like NG2, SMT4A, or LOLK.
It's been a while since I played something that felt like that...
>>
Should I get ff15 or 16 on sale? I think Josh and Clive are a cute ship and I like fantasy settings, but a boy band road trip sounds nice
I've played other final fantasy games and 8 is probably my favorite with 6 being close behind. I didn't really get into 7 too much and 10 just didn't click with me, so idk if I'll still enjoy any of the new games

I see the homos have found their way to our lovely thread.

>>541546396
Still better than XVI.

XVI is an above average action game, but the combat is a bit meh.
XV is terrible by all accounts, but has great vibes.

No it's not, Just because the combat is better than base XV isn't saying much. That's a pretty low bar. It still gets mocked by XV's multiplayer combat, which actually has fully functional magic system.

probably the same faggot who doesn't think fft is a final fantasy, lmao

XVI if you want fun, XV if you want slightly more depth. Both have 10/10 music.
>>
>>541567154
The story is also better, and I personally prefer the ost (though both are good).

Never played tactics before
Do I just get jp boost and movement+1 on every single character?
>>
>>541574701
If XV's exploration is bad, then XVI's is turbo bad. At least there are places and things to find in XV's world, like optional dungeons and royal arms. It is actively a waste of time to do anything in XVI that isn't following the marker because there's nothing worthwhile to find.
