one-armed dwarf Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hmm, I already watched a bit of spoiler gameplay so I'll stay away from the trailer maybe. Nice to have some things be a surprise Also Monday isn't that far away. 2 hours ago, Nag said: You already did... nudge nudge wink wink.

radiofloyd Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 To be fair, I tend to forget what I’ve seen in a trailer within 5 minutes of seeing it anyway. I played the game twice in my teens, watched the trailer and some of the people I remember, some don’t ring any bells. I’ll have it all forgotten by this time next week anyway.

Jimboxy Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 15 hours ago, AndyKurosaki said: So, it’s been a long time coming. Been ages since we first saw this announced. And yet, here it is. Very much intend to make the most of this, as I absolutely loved the original. The demo is pretty much the entirety of Chapter 1, though there’s a few scenes added that the demo didn’t include. Played through to what feels like the end of Chapter 2. Jesus tapdancing Christ, this looks gorgeous. And I say that playing on my day one PS4. I’m not a massive graphic fanatic, but it’s hard to deny that this is a stunning game visually. I’m loving the throwbacks to the original soundtrack, which was one of the best OSTs of all time. If you’ve played the demo, you’ll know how satisfying the combat feels. One difference I have noted is how summons work. I got a Chocobo summon for pre-ordering. But I couldn’t work out how to actually summon it, as there was no option to do so. Halfway through a fight, a Summon waiting bar appeared, and told me that once that bar fills, the summon shows up. Only I killed all the enemies before that happened. Ah well. Very much looking forward to how this plays out. It’s definitely made a brilliant first impression. 14 hours ago, one-armed dwarf said: ?♂️ You should start a thread. Yes, you should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Reviews are out. Gamespot gave a 10, which I have on good authority is a big number. As always idgaf about scores but the reviews are so far almost all good from what I can see Which is surprising, I didn't expect them to pull it off. Even tho I really liked the demo. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-04-06-final-fantasy-7-remake-review-a-faithful-remake-with-a-few-missteps-along-the-way (Aoife Wilson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 My girlfriend Sarah was round my flat today, she heard the music playing on that Tifa theme, and became fascinated by it. She’s not a gamer, and has never played any of the Final Fantasy games. She just loved the music of Tifa’s theme. She’s now going through the soundtracks for 7, 8 and 9 on iTunes, and finding new music that she loves. Pretty awesome, really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don’t remember much of 13 myself, I certainly never finished the game. She’s been asking about various tracks on FF7 (the original version). When I talked about the Chocobo’s, she went “can we play it?”. Doubt it’ll come to much, as I only see her at the weekends, and she doesn’t have the greatest attention span. But I might try it with her.
