TeamThiem Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 Clive’s body is SCULPTED, lol. Whew 😅 The battles are getting more intense.
Kristie Kuwa Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) FF VII Remake experience: At chapter 4 now and slowly understanding the mechanics better, though im still not warming up to it like I did to FFXVI. I don't know, the setting being literally slumbs kills the vibe for me. I loved how radiant FFXVI or FFXII looked, the landscape blew me away, whereas VII lacks in that department (at least for now). I do appreciate tho that the battle system requires more tactics than FFXVI Edited July 11, 2023 by Kristie Kuwa
Johnny Jacobs Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 can i play this even if i never played anything before? i dont know anything about it either

What the **** Did they lie? I want to motorboat his massive pecs
FailSafe Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) There's on thing that really bothered me in the game Spoiler Jill showed Physically NO sign of the curse's progression during the beach scene. With how the game exaggerated how weak her body had become because of the curse, you'd think she'd be half-stone by then. I guess japanese developers are still afraid to put physical flaws in their female leads. Edited July 13, 2023 by FailSafe

Kristie Kuwa Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Ok, so im now in chapter 9 of FF VII Remake and I'm starting to understand why many people really love it, also compared to XVI. While XVI had the prettier world, the incredible visuals and insane boss battles, VII-Remake definitely has the upperhand in character development and strategy. The game forces you to constantly reevaluate your gear, the materia you're using, how to approach a battle. Its much trickier, which makes it more fun than going into a battle knowing you're going to win anyway. XVI definitely couldve incorporated weaknesses, immunities etc to force the player to rotate between the different eikons used. Also, the character relationship building is much better. The conversations between Cloud and Aethril (?) are so so cute. Jill really feels lifeless in comparison and so does Clive tbh. So yeah, im definitely starting to enjoy it more and more while still trying to perfect the battle system Edited July 13, 2023 by Kristie Kuwa

Personally this is my fave FF since 12, so am happy ignoring all of it 1
Bad Decisions Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 FFXVI definitely has its faults and it's been pointed out here already so I won't bother repeating. That said, I still REALLY enjoyed the game and consider it one of my favourites in the series now. In other news, my copy of the soundtrack is in shipping process 1

I know it would make sense with this game story but the eikon switching lowkey could have been character switching as well. loving the story though

I can't wait to see what it sounds like.
WildAmerican Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 This game really does feel like grown up Kingdom Hearts 2 lol, especially the combat!
justin. Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 Finally finished the game (I've been busy), and not me almost crying during the final scenes. I really grew to love this cast, so I hope there is a sequel.
Bad Decisions Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 I really REALLY want to do my second playthrough already but I'm waiting for the holidays Something about this game screams Christmas season for some reason lol
Apolonio ₃₄ Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 How does this compare to 15 in terms gameplay and playability? 15 was so meh at times.

Gogetonthebus Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Finally finished the story last night and will probably go back and do the rest of the sidequests. This is the best mainline title since 12 (I love 14, but consider it its own thing for obvious reasons). Yeah there are some obvious flaws, but the combat is amazing, the quality of the cutscenes is beyond what anyone else is doing this gen, and the eikon battles are mind-blowing. I feel like they were on the right track pulling Game of Thrones, and a few other reference points and mixing them with Final Fantasy, but it never came together seamlessly and felt awkward. They took a big swing and didn't hit it, but I can appreciate the core idea.
