Maryokutai Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Could have sworn that Switch version was out already. Also, I'm really not feeling the cover of the PS4 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Well Finished XII today, Well after the initial positive progress, It grew stale very quickly. The Story is as boring as I remember, uninspired characters bar 1 or 2 a bad guy who you barely see anything of, let alone feel he is a threat. and Dragged on to long in the end. Not Bad Just Dull as hell. Though If I am going to give it a positive the game play mechanicsare way better than I recalled and actually enjoyed them at times, though if over levelled like I was at the end it presented little to no challenge. Glad I replayed it if Just to remind me why I started to sour on the series for some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You know that FFIV (the top image) came out just a mere ten years before FFX (bottom). That's two FFVII Remakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It really shows how quickly games have evolved during the 90s and early 2000s and how that impacts our perception (or mine at least). Comparing FFXIII to VII Remake isn't even remotely as big a step even though it's the same ten year timespan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Has anyone played Dissidia? The console one, not the PSP games. I imagine it might be something I can retroactively look at via the backwards thingy of PS5. But I haven't seen anyone talk about it. Which is usually a bad sign with the FF series ?

one-armed dwarf Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The console one is supposed to be bad, the PSP ones were really good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That's what I hear. Strange that is the case though. As I thought a handheld is the worst possible place for a fighting game, ala the Power Stone PSP port. So it seems weird that the leap to console didn't work.

HandsomeDead Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I played it for 20 mins or so but I didn't really get it. But then the previous games baffled me a as well. I was under the impression it was good to those that liked the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I haven't played any of them. But I the impression I got from watching videos of the PSP ones, was a straight up arena fighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yeah, it's still one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Here's all you need to know about PS4 Dissidia from a screenshot I took during the beta: That's not a fighting game HUD, that's a catastrophe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That... is far too much information for an RPG menu, let alone a fighting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Watching one of the recent DeS remake videos, I read a comment that said "I'd love to see Bluepoint remake FFVII". One of the first replies being "Square already burned that bridge!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Bluepoint would probably have made an extremely pretty 1:1 version of the original, with turn-based combat and all that. It's a cool "what if" situation to think about. Not sure it would have been better or worse than what we got, seeing as I haven't played the remake (yet).

one-armed dwarf Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1:1 would mean keeping fixed camera angles and stuff, I don't know if you approach that like a Divinity game maybe. I'm definitely in the camp that I'd prefer an ambitious failure than a safe success when it comes to remakes. Otherwise it's just like you're getting the same game again rather than a new one. I do think FFVIIR sort of sucks though. It's so slow and boring, hardly anything happens in it. It ends right at the point when the story just starts in the original. Carried by its brilliant combat and music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Looks like we have a name for FFVII Remake's sequel Theory crafting (ffvii remake spoilers) Spoiler Its a prequel to FFVII remake which resolves the alternative timeline stuff at the end. 'First Soldier' could mean that Sephiroth is the main playabale character, or figures prominently into it. Or its about Zack Seems also like the follow up to remake isn't just going to be a straightforward scene for scene remake like FFVIIR was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Seems like a potential mish-mash of Crisis Core and Last Order. Further expanded media shoehorned into the narrative of the base game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
