>>12352071
No not really. Obviously no one can stop you from doing whatever you want. But you're only deluding yourself when you pretend that you're playing the game the way the devs intended when you fuck with it to look like OPs pic. You didn't play ff7, you played a mutated and less cohesive version of it.
>>
>>12352074
>The way the devs intended
This is the biggest load of hive mind bullshit on this board. The devs would've killed for more power and more time to learn the dev tools.
>>
>>12352074
>You didn't play ff7, you played a mutated and less cohesive version of it.
Did you miss the part where I've played it on PSX / CRT at least 5 times? However I want to play it at the moment I play it is the right way to play it.
>>
>>12352076
The devs crafted the best experience they could and framed it in the best way possible for the hardware and tv they expected you to have. Yeah the game would have been different if they had different hardware but it wouldn't look like an ai upscaled monstrosity of a ps1 game.
>>
>>12352079
>However I want to play it at the moment I play it is the right way to play it
No that's the way you chose to play it. Not the right way.

I have the whole thing installed ready to go and I only made it to the slums. But honestly I just booted it up and the NPC dialogue soul was through the roof in just 5 minutes of fucking around. Meanwhile I've been playing BotW which is an extremely mid game. I don't know why I torture myself with bad games

Did I say it wasn't good without mods? It's 10/10 with or without mods.
The only mod I think that actually makes it "better" is my variable speed boost that does 0.5x increments, I've played it so many times I like to blast through dialog and stuff like the Kalm flashback. I just like a little variety and some mods actually look great when running, outside of cherrypicked jank in screenshots.
I really don't see the issue either way. If someone is playing FFVII and enjoying it, I'm happy for them, but how does that affect how I play it?

Only ones I use are framerate mods. The default 15fps battle animations look horrible on modern screens.

whyd they change the dialogue though
at least they're using her canon name
>>
>>12352324
I think they changed the "are sick" for the 2013 PC re-release which is the current most-commonly played version (for good reason imo, but you do you).
I've talked to all the NPCs so many times I know what they're all going to say, it's not like in 8 or 9 where you'll randomly find crazy hidden dialog after more than 10 playthroughs.

I'm a professional NEET approaching 40. I have had all the time in the world. I've played 7-10 all at least 7 or 8 times, casually, not speedruns. I go around every time a game event happens and check up if there's any hidden dialog or treasure. In IX especially there are times when only at one moment in the game you have to go out of your way to a town across the world and there's a treasure only at that one time. It's fun to discover without a guide. In VIII the same with dialog.

AI thought one blue beer can was 8 pepsi cans stacked up, because of that it created a foot long cigarette to lay across the top of. Other than than the books on the shelves are disappearing like that impossible 3 pronged optical illusion. Also one of the books is like a folded up futon for some reason, not at all a book.

>>12352362
Why don't you play good games instead?

>>12352586
I started playing on the Apple IIGS and IBM 5170. I know what I prefer, but I also love other games. It's not like I don't play platformers, submarine simulators, shmups, etc. I just really like the PSX FF games. I'd say it's nostalgia but I'm most nostalgic for SMW, DKC, SMB3, aLttP, etc.

well ACKSHUALLY new threat 1.5 is by far the best way to play ffvii and you will never go back to vanilla if you try it (do not do the tranny 2.0 version its awful)

any visual mods are fucking cancer though. if you cant handle gen 5 kino you dont deserve the game.

ruins the gameplay balance of 1.5 making magic way too OP and physical attacks worthless. adds a bunch of lame fan fic changes to original scenes. removes a ton of the post game events from 1.5 that were kino. it has a few extra superbosses that 1.5 doesnt have but theyre not worth it.

>>12351968
Can someone explain to me why the combat looks so terrible?
Something about the framerate or speed or something just seems really off and makes it look like utter garbage. It can't be the models alone, whether you think they look "soulless" or not.

Do you like the original FF7 combat? If so you might be disgusted at the interpolated frames, its pretty off-putting for most sane people.
>>
>>12354186
Have you heard of framerate?
>>
>>12354186
Framerate, reduced waiting time between actions, looks tailor-made for the ADHD generation

Look fine to me.

>>12351968
I struggle to think of 97 games less coherent and deliberate than FF7. You could replace the assets with anything at all and it'd hardly feel more out of place, it's all incoherent asset dump nonsense. PS1 FF didn't feel like real games with actual motifs and design language until 8.

I wish death upon anyone from reddit in general, but most specifically are the ones that keep telling people to play Zelda 1 and 2 with their gay as fuck guides that spoil literally the whole games.
