AndyKurosaki Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 Figured it would be. Still, I’m definitely hyped for this. Even more so after finishing both parts of the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 I’m going in blind. Got it pre-ordered and been a proper sad bastard and even took Friday and Monday off from work next week so I can binge it! Can’t wait. Not done that for a game in literal years! Just glad to see it’s not broken at all going from those scores. That was my only concern after the poor performance talk from the demo. & playing FFXVI demo and that looking like shit or being a stuttery mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 Lol... I've booked the Friday off too, something I've not done for a game in way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted February 22, 2024 Author Share Posted February 22, 2024 Have some trepidation seeing Tam at gamespot (and many others) being annoyed with the story stuff. Weirdly though there's praise for the open world stuff, which I would not expect. But I sort of have to separate these games from my feelings about the story a bit. They get the characters right but the story is so jarring (still feel that way after a recent remake replay, it's too much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted February 22, 2024 Share Posted February 22, 2024 I actually really liked how they went weird with the story and changed bits. They kept the main beats I wanted to see updated but changed enough to where I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen next. The open world stuff is what I’m most worried about. So I’ll probably be the opposite to them. People say the original was open world. But it really wasn’t. Sure it had the over world but really you just travelled to a few points of interest. It was more a means of getting you to other towns rather than a space to actually do anything in so I’m worried what generic open world busy work crap they’re going to fill it with. Not stopping me getting excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 The game is a timed exclusive for 3 months only? https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-rebirth-exclusive-to-ps5-for-at-least-three-months Were Square that disappointed with the FF16 sales this was the best Sony could negotiate maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 Doubt it, Dont think they needed any more, after Squareenix/ Sony confirmed that XVI was only a 6 Month exclusive, The games producer went on to confirm that shouldnt expect a PC port any time soon due to wanting to optimise PS version first, before putting resources into a PC version. I would imagine this will be much the same for Rebirth, I think remake was just over a Year from PS version to PC, so cant see it being released elsewhere any sooner than a minimum of 9 months, despite exclusivity period passing.

Maf Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 Doubt what? I don’t think you’ll see a different version in 3 months. But it’s one of the shortest times exclusive windows I think I’ve seen Either Sony couldn’t negotiate any more, or they don’t feel it’s as important to them anymore.

mfnick Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 Guess there’s no point in negotiating longer if they’re going to take them around a year again to get it to PC/other formats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 Wasnt overly clear, I doubt they felt the need to, given the points in previous post, they probably felt confident that securing any small period of exclusivity would guarantee PS5 was the lead platform, and knew it probably wouldnt release else where for well over the 3 month period negotiated.

Maryokutai Posted February 24, 2024 Share Posted February 24, 2024 With Sony going on record that they can't keep their games exclusive to their own ecosystems anymore if they want them to be sustainable and moving almost everything to PC, I'd imagine it'd being a very weird meeting if they started asking third-party publishers to do it instead. They've kind of lost a bargaining chip there for the future, if that ever was one. But thankfully so, this 'buy exclusivity for x months' thing they've been pulling for years now is just shit anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
