/vrpg/ — Final Fantasy VII Revelation

>>3996086 (OP)
I don't play lame games, sry

>>3996086 (OP)
I'm ready to start from part 1 now that the final part is in sight.

You should play the original FF7 first if you hadn't already before the remakes. You'll appreciate everything more that way.

Rebirth was fine mechanically but the story has been raped so hard I have no interest at all in how it ends.

SE did 3 smart things with this one:
Have the release be within the year of the announcement
Simultaneous release on Consoles and PC
Avoid the packed release window of August/September of this year

>>3996086 (OP)
it's no longer FF7 anymore.
The tone and atmosphere is all different.
First part of the remake still fits the bill but not the other parts of it.

KEK. No thanks, Remake was more than enough for me. They

>Fucked up the art design
>Fucked up the story, tone and pacing
>Make the whole game about chores
>Gave the player no agency on advancing the plot. You needed to do the MMORPG tier chore quests and then the plot would advance itself (That´s some shit game design right there)
>Gave filler to the filler making the experience as convoluted as possible (more terrorist factions? The angel of the slums? cleaning duty? Out of place experimentation underground labs?)
>Unnecessary stretched even the classic areas with shitty side content
>Time Jannies

Combat was about the only part of that mess that was tolerable. Even the leveling up and power progression was boring as fuck. Even Crisis Core was better than this. This was shit even by the genre standards. Even your average AssCreed game is better. No way i was going to play Rebirth let alone this.

I played it a couple of years ago.

Looks good. Last time I played the original was 25 years ago; I think.

I have not yet played the remakes... I wanna wait until all three are out. Almost there.... almost there.... :)

To think we got a first glimpse of what a FF7 remake would look like 20 years ago... And people were asking for it when playstation 2 came out.. we've come a loooooooooong way, but it's almost here

>>3996086 (OP)
Looks amazing, hopefully i stay alive until then

I've been watching from afar as somebody who played the original, loved it, and hates what they did with even the first of the remake trilogy. I wanted turn-based combat. If I wanted to play fucking Devil May Cry I would go do that or play any of the other ARPGs. I don't like the egregious error they made switching the entire fucking style and feel of the game. Now you tell me the story gets raped.

Can anybody give cliff notes? I will never buy or play these, or if I do I will be doing so through piracy means because fuck them for absolutely ruining such a grand opportunity to remake one of the best JRPGs out there.

Overrated? Nah. It's rated just right. FF VII was really fucking Good. Great! Grand! (I'm showing my age with the Billy Madison reference here)

Anons what did they do to the original FF VII story that caused somebody to describe it as having been "raped"?

little timmy when he sees anything remotely action

I'm preordering it... on Nintendo Switch 2.

It's the CW live action version of FF7

Remake seemed simpler and easier than XVI to me, which was already simple and easy.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but good ARPGs with actual build depth are hard to come by.

FF has been simplified every generation in terms of gear, builds and tactics whether turn based or not and I didn't feel like Remake was any exception.
Jarpiggies will scream bloody murder at this: Avowed was more fun to build and play in.

>>3996089
You realize part 1 is like 50 hours long and part 2 is over 100, right? Part is gonna be longer than both combined. Better start far in advance unless you want burnout.

>>3996086 (OP)

But i don´t want it to be over... if they stop raping VII corpse they´ll move on to other FF titles.

Remake isn't a 1:1 retelling of the original game because Remake is one of many alternate timelines. Sephiroth has figured out that he can escape defeat in the main timeline by changing events in others. Ultimately he still needs to hijack the lifestream to combine all timelines into one so he can rule over everything as a god.
As of Rebirth, it seems Aerith is aware, and somehow pulls Cloud into another timeline to give him a white materia because the one in the Remake timeline was used up trying to stop Sephiroth from raping Cloud near the end of the first game.
For what it's worth, Rebirth actually does a great job of explaining the Gi and how they were responsible for the creation of the black materia.

I feel completely vindicated in not playing these games.

>>3998255
Howlongtobeat claims it's about 40 and 50 hours for the main stories of remake and rebirth

>>3999054
Rebirth lets you skip the whole game basically if you just follow the story. The thing people bitch and moan about is completely optional.

I expected as much lol. People here are borderline insane, or insanely stupid.

I skipped the whole game by skipping these whole remakes
