Dodger Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 35 minutes ago, Bacon said: It is 100% true. There are webms going around now. BIG FUCKING SPOILER IN INSTANT PLAYING VIDEO FORMAT. Will be triple spoiler'd. Hide contents LITERAL GAME CHANGING SPOILER Hide contents INVOLVES BARRET. FINAL WARNING. Video has no audio but will auto play the second you open up the spoiler. Hide contents Reveal hidden contents OK maybe not that game changing Then they have fucked up the marketing for this. I mean, I'm not necessarily against changes, but they've made this look like it was going to be FF7 with fancy graphics and "updated" combat. If it was going to be different, they could have presented that in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is considering its Metacritic score etc., I meant it more as it looks like two wtf-level remakes. I'm sure FFVII will also be a fun enough game if experienced on its own terms but as remakes, these both look disappointing and baffling to me.

No see RE3RE is good in gameplay and everything else (an actual good game nothing "wtf" about it") and FFVII is incorporating bad gameplay and bad story and everything else from FFXIII (including WTF level remake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm really curious to know what this spoiler is. You all have me intrigued. I hadn't never played the original, but I do know about the major plot point from it that saddened everyone back in '97, and I already watched the launch trailer and didn't notice any major changes because I probably wouldn't recognize them.

I'd say it's probably mostly a compelling story. I'd say maybe chocobos are anime to you, or moogles or something. I dunno. They even tuned down Tifas boobs so that is less anime. But these changes might ramp up the anime. Who knows? You're getting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll try to rewrite some of it read better spoken... which could be a problem for the translators. The original game does have character though. The main cast and certain scenes are iconic for good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have never played the original and Aeris dying is your only real knowledge of the plot, watching the new trailer would essentially mean nothing to you lol. Maybe one part would seem weird, but even then it's not clear. I've probably played FF7...I dunno, 5-6 times through. It took me 2-3 and the explosion of the internet to REALLY understand the plot of the game, and I think if people watched that trailer with casual knowledge of the game, even if they beat it back in the day, they probably wouldn't come up with a fraction of the stuff in the OP.

I'm in that boat, even having beaten it a few times back in the day. I did fully understand the details of it at some point, but I've played plenty of other large-scale JRPGs since that have kind of supplanted its headspace in my brain. (Xenoblade 1 & 2 stand out in recent memory) I did watch the newest trailer once, but noticed a lot of characters I didn't recognize or just straight up don't remember (well). A few new plot devices too? Not going to dwell on it now, since I'm still pretty open to it being a re-imagining and want to see it through in that context.

I'm not worried as much about it being a "re-imagining" so much as I am the story will reach Kingdom Hearts levels of bullshit and I'll need a damn encyclopedia to know wtf is going on. The original FF7 story was convoluted as well, but nowhere near as much as those spoilers are telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right though not KH levels, but at least my young teenage self usually had no clue what actually happened by the end of most FF games.

But FF7 was pretty convoluted plot-wise compared to other JRPGs at the time. So it might actually fit? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
