Remarkableriots Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Want some Final Fantasy in your Final Fantasy? The FF14 team wants to put old FF games in player housing | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM But they need some help. If you're an engineering wiz, Yoshida wants to talk. Quote Yoshida explained the team got as far as testing this idea, but putting the Pixel Remasters inside FF14 got complicated. "We realized the Pixel Remasters are running on a middleware," he went on. "Because it's running on a middleware, if you want to implement that into 14 you'd have to build another system that can play that middleware inside of the game. So it's like.. building a system of a game to play a system of a game inside… it's just this weird configuration. Our Final Fantasy 14 team is—I love them, but they're crazy—though I don't think they're that crazy." Yoshida, seemingly only half-joking, went on to say if he could get a couple more super genius programmers they may have a path forward when it comes to adding playable Final Fantasy classics inside of your FF14 house or the Gold Saucer amusement park. He went as far as to ask for résumés, just in case there are any Warriors of Light out there that may have a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the localization, or the novelty of it being the first time the 2D version has been localized in English? Localization struck me as about on par with the rest, with only one anachronism that I could spot where your party says "Are you coming with?" which in my mind was a weird phrasing that started, or at least got popularized nationally, like 15-20 years ago? I still hate it, so it stood out to me. I have no idea why it bothers me so much, but I hate it. That aside, everything else was perfectly fine, and as I haven't put too much time into any of these games besides 6 (I beat 4 when it came out, but only remember one or two impactful scenes) there's not like a huge novelty factor or anything. Although I gotta say, I'd love integration of all these games within the toybox (or even anywhere) in FFXIV. Own the games? Play them within FFXIV! Maybe even get a little crazy and set it up like Tetris 99 where you can see everyone else's gameplay if they're in your party. I know no one else would give a shit about that, but FFXIV pays so much homage to the earlier series, I had no idea that the overworld theme of 3 was like, THE theme for Shadowbringers. Hearing it and then thinking back on all the scenes in FFXIV was definitely goosebumps-worthy. Having access to the origins of the series inside a game that cares so much about the series' legacy would be awesome to me. That, and I'm just a huge fan of games-in-games. Playing these games with a chatbox while shooting the shit with my FC would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have absolutely no desire to continue this game after putting a ton of hours into it. I just got turned off by it for some odd reason and don't want to revisit that world which is a shame.

FF7R is better. Visuals are not as good as 16 because it's a remastered PS4 game, but it still looks good and has moments of beauty. The combat is better than 16. Still mostly real-time but you can slow down to issue commands, both for your controlled character or other members in your party, or you can switch who you're controlling. Stagger systems exist, but the game doesn't center around that being the entire strategy. The combat isn't hard, but is more engaging than 16, IMO. Each character plays differently. You can't just spam specials and items. You have to build up ATB to use either to prevent spamming and endless healing. But at the same time, the build up time for ATB is shorter than cooldowns in 16 and you can always use whichever you want without specific cool downs. You can also switch characters/issue them commands to use their abilities in between. The leveling and equipment is vastly more expressive than in 16, but it's not complex relative to how complex some RPGs get with equipment and leveling. The main quest structure is not as repetitive as "get to the next crystal." You're not going to predict where it's going at the start unless you played the original FF7. Sidequests are more localized and book-ended. Some are mundane, but 16 felt more spammy in mundane quests. The music is better than 16's, and it's one of the best soundtracks in gaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for that breakdown! I played for and hour and really like it. I had to adjust to the inferior voice acting and dialogue though. But visually I was impressed and looks much better than I was anticipating. I like the mix of real-time combat and then using commands for special attacks. It makes combat so much more enjoyable when it's not straight up button mashing like 16. Edit: Oh, and the ability to switch characters is dope af. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I am like an hour and half in and I'm not loving it. I don't really see how the combat is any better than 16 overall? Am I too early to make a statement like that? The dialogue and voice acting are a big step down from 16, too. I'm really early so I will stick with it.

Best Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Played this today. I'm in a boring section and just want this god damn story to move along. Another thing I noticed today is the game is pretty low res...So it's not the best visuals on PS5. This maxed out on PC will be really impressive though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 82% at 41 hours. The in between side mission sections seems to be getting longer which is awful feeling. But the major story/battle missions are so fucking awesome that it’s worth it. I’m ready to be done but I’ve enjoyed the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
