Are you happy Squenix is doing something different in the era of remake saturation or do you still want an actual...

I respect them for doing something different but the best part of part 1 was the 100% faithful bit and anything new was horrible

i love what they're doing. i tend to think remakes should be reserved for either flawed games that could really benefit from another glance or games that were previously japan-only, but if the industry MUST remake their most iconic and accessible titles, there's no excuse for them not to be as ambitious and daring as ff7r is. i don't want to play the same old shit all over again and anyone who does is a consoomer.

>is doing something different
How is milking the same old characters for the nth time something different? Nintendo has been doing it for decades.

nomura has done nothing but "something different" and all his "something differents" suck because his autistic ideas are fucking terrible and he's a garbage director.

Some games really do need remakes after 20 years. FF7 is being actively denied that in lieu of a sequel/reimagining. The "groundbreaking classic" that 90s kids fell in love with is still a blocky janky mess and gets harder and harder to recommend to normies. A lot of early 3D games need a facelift, and a faithful remake with no changes is exactly what they need.
Remakes like the Last of Us 1 and Pokemon Briliant Diamond/Shining Pearl are completely unnecessary. There is a difference between "we need more money for an arguably worse product" and "a legendary old product needs to be remade to bring it up to modern visual and gameplay standards"

If you want to play the old FF7 then go play it

I’m glad to have some new material in the same universe.

>part one was only ever not shit when it was copying the original 1:1
>that's not a possibility anymore because the jig is up and everything from here on out is fanfiction
Square is doing something different, alright. Crystal meth.

>Some games really do need remakes
No they don't.
Move on with your life, play new games, enjoy new things, etc... Stop living in the past.

Then don't market your sequel as a fucking remake. I'll accept many things, but Square baiting people when they wanted to do yet another kingdom hearts vomit fest of exposition and confusion was dogshit and the sales for Rebirth will fall off a cliff

I'm getting goddess Aerith, so whatever.

Room temperature iq take. Classic games deserve to be preserved as they were and also deserve to be remade into the pinnacle of what they could have been. There is no better feeling than playing a remake of an old game that absolutely nails EVERYTHING. A good remake makes the game look and play how you remember it, while keeping it faithful. Arbitrarily changing shit for the sake of mystery is pointless. Read a fanfic at that point.

It's a good decision.
Releasing an actual faithful remake in 3 parts would've been a horrible decision.
If it has to be a trilogy then doing it this way is the best outcome.
People like me would've just waited for part 3 to release to buy part 1 since i already know the story.
Now that i no longer know the story, i have a reason to play part 2 when it comes out instead of waiting.

They explicitly stated it wasn't a conventional remake before it was released, of course dumb uninformed consumers ignored that instead of doing a modicum of research. I'd prefer it if it was a faithful remake of the original, and one god damn game instead of 3, but the onus here is on anyone who didn't spend 30 seconds researching a game before buying it.

What a worthless post, apply yourself

Those were the worst parts of the Part 1. So boring and wannabe a shitty Naughty Dog game.

So they're just copying Avengers with the different timelines?

Grow up.

They are going to flip everything on its head.

Instead of Cloud being an imposter, Tifa will be the one who is impersonating somebody else.

Aerith will be the one to rescue Cloud from mako-coma.

Alright, show me. Show me where it's explicitly stated. Not some article in some shitty magazine interview in nip, show me a clear part of the broader marketing campaign that EXPLICITLY states this was a quasi sequel. I'll wait patiently for your non-reply

Ironic.

>Kiseki pic, wants to be taken seriously.
Fuck off honestly. FFVII is perfectly fine the way it is and doesn't need crappy fetc quests, awful pacing and multiple games with shitty writting like your series, ok?
That also includes most of the FFs from the Snes and PS1 era, they work as a standalone product.

>wasn't a conventional remake
Why did we get a sequel then?
