Remake Retake
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
Man, it's kinda dicey...
It always really bothered me that Dragon Quest VIII and IX were really, really good. It feels like the Enix merger worked just swimmingly for DQ but FF's been getting the short end of the stick for a good while now.
Not looking forward to endless amounts of "Oh look, Genesis is around, Banora White's, references to Dirge of Cerberus"
I mean I even LIKED Crisis Core (kinda ruined the point of Zack's sacrifice when he obliterates an army, even if that sequence with the whole roulette thing was pretty awesome during it) and I'm dreading what they're going to try and sneak in from their bad fan fiction.
It could be good. It definitely COULD be.
... probly won't be >.>
The only solace is that it'll be quite hard to actually fuck up so it should at worst be passable unless they really try their hardest to make it suck.

To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this remake. Don't get me wrong, I like FF7, but I feel it's more than a little over-rated by now. That, and I hope they keep the same script (albeit translated better), and don't turn Cloud into a complete moping emo. Seriously, that only came about because fangirls wanted him to be or something. Thanks fucking heaps for that, by the way fandom. >.<
Me too. I'd like an action RPG style that would make enemies as difficult as say, third person WRPGs, but then I'd assume we'd only be able to play Cloud. They could always update the ATB system as well.Diablo1099 said:
I'm sure we could have a whole thread of what we'd want kept in/left out/changed for the game. And maybe get input from those who never played the game but might want to get the remake.
I wonder if it might be the voice acting that has some people concerned. Yeah FF7 didn't have it, but now it will. And now there is a very real chance that Cloud could sound like that annoying kid from the recent games.
At least Squeenix can never destroy Braver Fencer Musashi.
Goddamn it. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musashi:_Samurai_Legend]

Not really fair to call it a merger... It's like saying EA merged with MaxisJenSeven said:
Basically when Squaresoft became big enough to buy their nearest rival they basically stopped giving a crap
Not really RIght now FInal Fantasy achieved the critical mass that Star Wars and Star Trek enjoy. They announce a game and people will buy the shiny game no matter what. They slap Finbal Fantasy on anything and people will buy it.Caramel Frappe said:
Will they treat FF7 right... god no. Because you know there's going to be voice acting and I found cloud whiny enough without having to actually listen to him. Are you really, really looking forward to Yuffie actually speaking.
Honestly I don't play These sorts of games outside emulators ... because emulators allow me one power that is vital for Squeenix and most JRPG's a FAST FORWARD BUTTON.
Well, since it's been like 15 solid years tons of people have been screaming "take all our money, pleaaaase!!!" for the remake, and no one understood why those cash grabbers never obliged. Clearly, the sky is going to fall and the sees will turn into blood. And then a biiiiig meteorite will smash us out of existence!Cowabungaa said:
At least, that's my take.
Or, more boringly; think Duke Nukem 3D sequel. Didn't exactly live up to (Yahtzee's) expectations, now did it after like 12 years of hoping...
Meh. The game largely sold on the name alone. There was very little in it that really felt like a FF game. Little exploration, bland story, flat characters, and the combat was more like an MMO than the FF staple. Basically the hallmarks of Final Fantasy ended with 10.Alex Baas said:
My only comfort is that they have the entire blueprint laid out before them, as long as they don't try to get too 'creative' and enforce that Advent children emo bullshit onto the characters. Then it will be fine.
But yes as many have said the joke is that SQUARE ENIX, is remaking SQUARESOFT's FFVII. Some fear is natural.

Like I said, the Shareholders wouldn't allow it to happen, if Square Enix screws up there, A Shareholder who suddenly is broke will be a lot more dangerous to them then a FF7 crazy enough to kill them.Caramel Frappe said:
Least with the fan, you know that you are doing to die, but with Shareholders? O_O;
