Final Fantasy VII Remake

I enjoyed it up until the end, probably because I wasn't someone who played FF7 42 times, just once or twice when I was younger. So half the stuff I couldn't even remember if it was in the original or not.

BUT I do agree some of the side stuff was super tedious but I guess its a side quest so I can just skip it instead of complaining about it.

Yeah, Witcher 3 is a game where you end up doing more side quests and end up forgetting about the main story quest for a few hours/days. They only really fucked up with Skellige but it was mostly skippable as well.

Completely agree with the subtle changes they made to the "grey" part of the story. That said, I enjoyed the game from start to end (disappointed with no turn based, but got over it). I was very confused at the ending, making it obvious that it wasn't a "remake" in the word we're used to. Then a few spoiler casts later, the Advent Children angle made complete sense, including the short stories that tied the original FF7 to Advent Children. Once the mindset then changed to this (most likely) being FF7 2, Sephiroths remake, and not an actual remake of FF 7, I am now very curious as to where it goes.

And it's not like its a random addition of story either, but something that's been in the works for nearly two decades according to Square.

Or so they say, could be making it up as they go with Nomura crashing in at the last minute going "this game needs more... TIME SHIFTS!!" "But, sir, remake.... people are expecting us to" "TIME SHIFTS!!!!".

Given that they've noted in interviews even directly after the initial teaser trailer in 2015 that it wasn't going to be a 1 to 1 remake, I'm inclined to believe them that some of the ideas were planned from the get go. Not buying in the slightest that they had this exact scenario planned out for 20 years or whatever, though, if that was ever claimed.

On the changing of laying blame for the bombing, I didn't think it hurt it at all, as it made it all the more relevant seeing people around town and the news pushing the Shinra propaganda that Avalanche was the real cause of the problems, not to mention all the regular Shinra workers buying completely in. Also the fact it made Jessie question her bomb-making skills added a lot more to the character (didn't hurt she was the one they definitely delved deeper into going back to her house, etc), with her holding herself responsible for the extra damage/casualties. Them dealing with all that and Barrett's usual "push on through for the Planet" showed plenty of moral grey areas imo, just different.

Yes, as if US politics isn't a good indicator of how stupid people are in general and how propaganda appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Or, you know, the original intent of "saving the planet" lead to a lot of blood on your party's hands and didn't save anything. It assisted in completing Barrett's character from the one dimensional stereotype who was just out for revenge.

But yes, I can't wait for Reeve to tell Barrett that fat man bad and the avalanche crew, sub Jessie, can breathe a sigh of relief since they didn't hurt anyone and they really saved the planet.

I think Pantheon is gonna be out before we see this finished? Yeegh.

Great work by the modders tho.

The cucked simping kind of ruins it

Best RPG characters to have a three-way with?

I'd say Aerith + Tifa would be number one with a bullet.

Marle + Ayla from Chrono Trigger maybe a distant second.

Leena + Kid from Chrono Cross. Kid + anybody really.

The two chix from Skies of Arcadia?

Before anyone does the obligatory "MAN RAJAAH NEEDS TO GET LAID" this is a fun joke post.

If we're getting into non-RPGs, Xianghua + Seong Mina from Soul Calibur.
