    Wait, what? Cloud wasn't a silent protagonist in the original ff7. Pretty sure, when talking about the writing, he was referring to how the text in general would have to be rewritten for it to be believable spoken word dialogue. Imagine reading the dialogue as it was in the original ff7 out loud; it would be silly.

      I'm wondering how the next entry will work out. Will we start at a cap level? Like 40+? Will it grab our first game save file and give us that level instead?
      How open will be the open world of Gaia? This first game was way less open but that's fine, because the original, Midgar was a pretty linear situation too.
      But the open world? I was hoping this game to release soon but if they are aiming for the quality right now, the next entry will take at least 5 years to release just for them to make the open-world as open and gorgeous as possible.

      Personally I loved the game and the changes, have me intrigued.
      Honestly wind materia is far more pragmatic advice since you can get it right at the start and it is very convenient at times. Of course counter stance is very useful as well, though if I'm being honest I only ever managed to use it properly in one fight, I mean I killed it in that fight, but it's kinda like giving a crab a toothbrush, maybe it'll luck our at first and figure out how to use it to brush off some gunk from their shell, but they really don't know what they're doing.

    Did you also know, the Buster Swords model is in FFX, this is either because they were testing assets in the new engine or it was left over from Xs development which started sometime near 7s.
    Also there's many signs in Insomina in FF15 with "The First Bank of Spira" in buildings, they've always liked giving throwbacks to other games like in IX when Zidane sees the sword that reminds him of that guy with spikey hair.

This is something Square Enix higher ups have been doing for years.

      Kristi Marie the graphics are poor by a modern releases standard. I went from playing Horizon Zero Dawn, releases in 2017, to FF7R and it’s shocking at how bad the graphics are compared to a game released 3 years ago.

      This is just modern graphics engines. It all depends on what you mean. The remake absolutely was realistic in its lighting and shadow engine. Cloud's eyes even adjust if you move between outdoors and indoors. But yeah, as an anime art style they had to take liberties on proportions of character models. But still, the goddamn cloth textures, the hair movements, every fukken brick and puddle. It's a realistic game for sure. You see the imperfections and damage all over their weapons? That's detail that most games fail to even consider.

  • @advmx3

    Watching this after finishing FF7R makes me feel less conflicted by the timestamp of the game. I just missed two quests and the last two summons materia you can get by completing Battle Reports, and I had 43-45 hours of gameplay. I'm an old fan of FF7 so I've spent lots of time grinding, looking at the environment, etc. In the end I was fucking crying because they fixed Cloud's past and blended it so fucking well with Crisis Core (Which was needed) but at the same time, it made me unhappy. I felt that something was missing there. When they say "The same amount of content as XIII", XIII had like, 70 hours of pure hallways simulator, but it was a longer ride. NOT a good one, but yeah.
    Anyway, seeing this, understanding more about the development, why they decided to split the games into "parts" instead of an entire game which at first I thought it would be just a strategy of Square to mil more money (and it is), but considering they had to cut 50% of quests, to make the quality of the game to be consistent, yeah. This game is a masterpiece of a Remake.
    I'm playing on PS4 and I noticed the system of the game prioritizes some textures over others, and character and models textures over others, for example, some flowers and grasses were extremely low poly, some doors made me feel they were borrowed directly from FF13-3 LR because of the poor quality. However, the ground, the rocks, the character, every ladder, summons, etc. It was all so high quality that I understood right away what the game was doing: It was prioritizing what should look "amazing" and what should look "PS2-Era Polygons" to make the game runs for its entirety at 60fps. On the freaking PS4 Slim. I don't have money to throw on a Pro. And that showed me how much the team cared about this. How much they want to fix what was "weird" at the time (Because yes, the story was and is amazing, but the character development for Cloud was so bad that to this day there are people who don't understand WHY cloud became so depressed on the movie Advent Children) and how much an fps drop into a fucking final battle would make the experience less than ideal for this game.
    Not even once I've felt a drop on FPS, of course, we will wait for the comparations eventually, but as far as my naked eye was able to see, the game never had a freaking slow-down nor anything.
    Do I want to play again? Hell yeah.
    For the first fucking time, this game has a HARD MODE! A FF with HARD MODE! And the game is pretty challenging at normal.
    Do I wish there were ways to get more "All" materia, to make the attacks to hit everyone? Yes. But that's fine. It adds to the challenge. Just replay the chapters to get it.
    Anyway, I loved this video, because at least I can feel now that even if the ride is shorter than what I expect for a JRPG game (80+ hours), oh man, they did put a lot of work on it, and I'm glad the original team is working on this and that Nomura is the director. I just hope the end of the last entry of these Remakes doesn't finish with a Kingdom Hearts Re: Connect because I will explode if that happens xD

    If any of you have ever played Killer Instinct; I think the combat mechanics for FF7 Remake / health bars should be like KI where your “normal attacks” perform a “potential damage” and until you perform an “Ender” or “Heavy Attack” that’s when the actual health diminishes and depletes the potential damage as well. // I say this because I feel that method of gameplay would be more of an evolution to the Turn based / Attack Command gameplay of the original.

It felt more like a living world than any other game I've played in a long time. I mean, GTA V may have looked spot on, I even live near many of the locations that were used as reference for the game. But the citizens of GTA V simply don't really do much. Nothing tells you how they live besides the location they are in. Meanwhile, as outlandish and wild as some of the FF7 Remake NPCs can be, they all have personality, motives, and lives.

      I mean.... Even removing side quest and the fluff. The game would still be 25 to 30 hour's (the full game being 200 to 250 gigabytes)the game would have came out in 2035 by the time they we're done. the way its done now they can get feed back on combat and other small details.

      No it’s not at all it’s surprising how even the simple as fuck ending got confused for time travel when it was a thing only Aerith saw confirming her suspicions of a certain someone

      @@Darkneonflame13 how is it not time travel. You have black wing sephiroth, visions of the future, specters trying to force things back to normal such as the reno fight, survival of important characters, ect... There is literally no way this isnt time travel. Idk what you are seeing about that ending.

      arizun okay do I gotta explain? They literally point out that those in the soldier program can see into the future due to Mako, a black winged sephiroth is a redesign harbouring to the fact that he is like Angeal and Genesis, the whispers of fate are just there to correct things and make sure they stay on course it is just a narrative devise used to make certain sections of the game to not feel as abrupt or sudden as they use to and they are gotten rid of anyways, nothing about this game implies time travel it is all just retcons to make the story a bit less abrupt and longer, fate doesn’t tie into time travel fate is a completely different concept entirely

    Its weird to think that I wanted a remake back in 2005 and now i'm glad they didn't. Because we received an amazing remake for this generation that wont of come to pass and may have flopped so fast.
