    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    It felt like you vaguely implied something similar, at least. I keep seeing the weird thoughts/complaints/predictions about how "Midgar was only like 4-6 hours of the first game, if they're taking just 10% of the first game and making it a whole game, they're going to do how many episodes"...

    Fortunately the Caps came to play today, and Holtby started. Samsonov has been off lately.

    Right? Like I guess if you ignore the whole billion year old civilization that sent a protomolecule to highjack evolution to add to their galaxy spanning empire that were eliminated by some bigger bad.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    7 does kind of have the weird spot in all the games where at the time, the graphics were a big jump, but they aged the worst out of all of them (at least, parts of it). Some of 7's backgrounds are still gorgeous.

    I think they could translate 6 to realistic style. If they did Chrono Trigger I'd think that would benefit/need the anime style way more.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    No there's plenty of other spots they could expand the story for, I just don't understand the logic of thinking they're just going to try to stretch every little scene out. There's clearly some bigger moments and spots in the game where they could add a whole lot versus others that are more...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I don't think they're turning "each 15 hour segment" into more. Midgar was clearly something that could be expanded on and one part of the original that many wanted more of. That doesn't mean Kalm and the Chocobo Ranch will each be extended into 4 hour parts of their own. I know there are...

    I'll probably want it faster than it comes, for sure. But if it's quality, I really won't care. Was waiting 18 years for them to even announce a remake.

    Finally finished Cibola Burn last week. Waited a bit until after Season 4 viewing to do the book. Wasn't bad, although definitely different tone. Dived right in Nemesis Games and man, off to the races. Only about 100 pages to go in that one already, can't wait for S5. How are the rest of...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    You are supposed to cut the one song at 10 sec, that's true, but figure by then you have a feel for when to refresh dots. I mean the fact that Iron Jaws does both, and you literally only have to press it once every 30 seconds...really not that hard. The procs are pretty easy to deal with to in...

    Oh, I'd have time for it. JP Scroll Glitch for Tactics is the single best thing I've ever seen to make a game have tons of replay ability for me.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I think the time factor is more relevant. Not that we shouldn't pay attention to troubles certain companies have had lately with big releases, etc. But XV is a totally different project from Remaking 7. Kitase hasn't really been this involved in a game for awhile, has he? But I agree that...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I don't trust their 60 hour estimate. But what would be a good amount of main story time to meet minimum requirements? I've stated if I get 25-30 hours of main story I will be more than fine with the price tag. Hell I researched what FF6 cost new back in the day on the SNES and found that it...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah I wonder how much play time Chrono Trigger is without fights. I'm a bit story guy, too, Ut for what it's worth...although I do find myself very interested in this combat system, because I think it COULD be a much better step/version of XV's shitty combat if they do it right. Another thing...

    Kind of you to let Holtby off the hook for tonight. I'm not even sure the coaching is the problem. Unless the coaching strategy is hey go commit 3 penalties in a row with 7 minutes to go in a tied game.

    Considering Iron Jaws to refresh 30s long dots lines up with song timers, should be pretty easy to line up 30s refresh/CD's

    Guess this guy got same sneak peak Max did maybe? Spoilers and all for stuff just beyond the Demo b/c they let them play more, so don't watch if you don't want to spoil things. I tried to skip around just to listen to reactions to it, no idea if this guy is shill or not.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I'd argue they've done a great job in telling a story in XIV, but MMO so little different. But then again, the Remake is a little different in that they already have the prime story to go off of. Like I said, I'm not expecting big changes to the main story. Frankly the majority of differences...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Well, given they clearly are making some changes to the main overall story I'd assume they wouldn't want the changes to be spoiled since those are the "new" parts. I'm skeptical they change it overly much, but who knows. They could really end up changing how it all plays out with even the...

    Not sure where this guy is getting his info, but mentions the Nomura interview and also claims Kitase said main story would take 50-60 hours to complete. I almost want to say there's just no way it's that high a number. I'm a little more bullish than Ut is on how much content there will be...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Supposedly Nomura gave an interview where he discussed sidequests, and trying to make them the same quality as the main story stuff. Also noted that traveling around Midgar requires vehicles of a sort. I don't know if that means controllable ones by the player or just basically using the train...

    Gnome rep is probably the easiest to do super casually in that you really only have the single WQ (aside from pet battle one) each day, and it's usually super easy to complete for something like 850 rep each day. Just knock that out daily for a few weeks and you're gold. Anything extra just...
