The first one was fun, but I was disappointed it ended early. Open world exploring is what makes it a Final Fantasy game. I didn’t mind the additional content and changes, but really wanted the whole game (especially for $60-70).
I thought it was just supposed to be three releases. That get massively upped? I’ll probably never mess with playing it, then. I’ll just play the ps1 version rom with the graphics upscaled on my steam deck and call it good.
Despite the high scores across the board, it seems about as split as FF7 Remake. A lot of people love the game but aren’t a fan of how they changed the story, and here we see the same pattern.
As I said with the first one: I already have ff7. I don’t need ff7 again. If I want ff7 I’ll go play ff7. I’m incredibly happy they decided to spice things up and give it a twist. This has me even more excited for next week!
As I said in 2002: this story is awesome. But they have cubes for hands. We have the ps2 now. I hope I can play this game again someday without cubes for hands. This is not that game.
Nope, it’s not that game. Nor, IMO, could they possibly make that game successful enough to justify the cost of the remake. There aren’t enough people like you to generate the sales numbers they are looking for. Could you make a reasonably successful product like that? Sure. Would it make the amount of money square-enix is interested in? I strongly doubt it. Because I wouldn’t buy that game and I enjoyed ff7. I don’t really care if they have cubes for hands. I’m not playing it for the graphics heh
Wrong. FF7 was the second-best selling PSX game of all time, and is also the best-selling single-player Final Fantasy game. If you consider that remaking FF7 means getting the original fans PLUS introducing it to an entire generation of gamers who never played it on PSX then you would definitely expect it to sell.
If they didn't think a remake would sell then why did they literally call it "FF7 Remake" and not something else?
That’s just not true at all. Literally one of the most famous games ever made remade with modern graphics couldn’t be successful? When squenix announced a remake, and the internet exploded, that is exactly the game everyone expected it to be. Even at launch day we still thought the story would be mostly unchanged.
I’m not arguing in favor of keeping turn based combat.
How exactly would keeping the original story have made a remake less successful? New players would have played it either way, and I find it very hard to believe that the number of fans of the original who would have avoided the game due it being “the same game” outnumber the number of fans who were sold a remake and didn’t find out until half way through that this was a different game.
If you’re willing to put some effort you can get the original on PC and mod it. It looks much better with mods. The mods are pretty easy to install and it won’t cost you $180 over however many years to get the full story
And I like that it’s just different enough to leave me wondering if what comes next will be different than what I expected. I think that’s awesome. And I really like the changes they’ve made so far, in terms of how it will obviously impact the future
It’s not really an adventure in the classical genre definition, but maybe Return of the Obra Dinn is something for you if you like solving puzzles and fancy murder mysteries.
i have played return of the obra dinn. it’s one of the greatest puzzle games i’ve played and i feel like most people that have played it say the same. actually solving all identities is legitimately hard, the story is interesting and the presentation is top notch. not an adventure game as i would define it but i highly recommended playing it to everyone that haven’t played it.
Couldn’t make it more than a couple hours in this game. Everything was just so “generic open world Ubisoft game” and I found the dialog to be obnoxious.
Free Stars: The Ur-Quan Masters has an excellent story and wordbuilding, and you can talk to all kinds of weird aliens. If you don’t like the ship combat, you can set up the game’s AI to fight for you.
