Baltie Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Just finished FFVII Remake today and I was so confused towards the end as to what was happening But I thoroughly enjoyed the game though. It was such a blast to play as a total FF newbie. Spoiler I feel like story-wise, FFVII Remake isn't newcomer friendly at all... And I don't think they even properly introduced Sephiroth, like he just suddenly appeared and started tormenting Cloud. And if I had known that the "destiny" they were talking about was basically the OG FFVII, maybe I would've played that one first 2

I think they intentionally made it confusing and ended on a cliffhanger so people would buy the next game, and, while I understand Remake better now that I've finished Rebirth's story, I don't think it makes Remake's story/presentation any better lol. That being said, if you loved Remake's gameplay, you'll probably love Rebirth's! The combat is basically the same but adds three more playable characters. I think most people have liked Rebirth more than Remake, but I liked Remake better overall 2
Curaga Posted June 28 Posted June 28 new emoji just dropped It was hard cropping around her hair since the background was a similar color, but I also didn't spend that long on it nnn Spoiler It's much funnier at full resolution... a bit too subtle of a side-eye expression for an emoji. I had forgotten I had this saved and I was cackling to myself when I saw it Wish I could remember where I saved it from. Got no results doing reverse image search on Google and TinEye 1

The original handles his introduction to the plot with a lot more tact and restraint.
Suilen Posted June 28 Posted June 28 Crisis Core is pretty important for understanding some things in the remake, yes? I'll probably grab it with this discount, and then the Remake itself with the next one.
Curaga Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Holy fuq, has anyone here actually beaten Leviathan in FF16 Rising Tides? This fight's impossible

I don't remember Crisis Core's story elements coming into play at all in Remake, but I played Crisis Core eons ago on PSP, so maybe it was as good as if I had never played it by the time we got Remake lol. 1

If not for Remake itself, then maybe for Rebirth since Spoiler Zack is alive? Or is the story pretty self-sufficient, and you don't really need to know what happened in those extra games?

Or is the story pretty self-sufficient, and you don't really need to know what happened in those extra games? Spoiler It's self-sufficient. Zack is alive in Rebirth for reasons unrelated to the story in Crisis Core. Crisis Core focuses mostly on new characters (Angeal, Genesis, Cissnei) and plotlines that don't come into play in Remake/Rebirth. Cissnei has a small cameo in Rebirth, but doesn't affect the story at all; she's just there for fan service. imo, the only story elements in Crisis Core that are relevant to Remake/Rebirth are elements that were already in the original game, i.e., Zack's death scene and Cloud's relationship to him. I would play it if you just really love FF7 and like button-mashing, Kingdom Hearts–like combat. 1

Also glad to hear they kept the same structure basically for Rebirth. Steam version when though

The original handles his introduction to the plot with a lot more tact and restraint. I think I read somewhere that they didn't bother with proper introductions cos everyone was basically familiar with him already. I went in knowing he was gonna be the main villain but really, my true proper introduction to Sephiroth as a character was through Smash I feel like I really should've played the original first. But at this point, I think I'll do that someday after finishing the reimagined trilogy. Edited June 29 by Baltie
Rigalo Posted June 30 Posted June 30 I feel like Remake story is convoluted and confusing as hell even if you've played 7 and Crisis Core etc. lol so I don't really think it matters if you play them 1
Curaga Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Just beat FF16 Using Leviathan to beat the final boss kinda felt like cheating, but oh well! I liked this game a lot overall! The combat was fun and I liked trying out all the different Eikon abilities. Odin was kinda boring tho... I trialed his abilities in only 1 fight and never looked back. I think Shiva, Garuda, and Bahamut were my top 3 favs, but I mastered Ramuh's Judgment Bolt early and used that basically the whole game. Beautiful, beautiful graphics too

Curaga Posted July 1 Posted July 1 7 hours ago, Axel. said: yeah, it is a great game overall, but it lacked more RPG's elements for me I feel that. There weren't many choices to make except whether or not to do the boring side quests or which abilities to equip/upgrade. The replay value is basically non-existent unless you just really love the combat and story.
dealtwith Posted July 1 Posted July 1 FFXVI's setting was definitely beautiful in parts (although OMG I HATE THE CHANGE IN THE LATTER HALF iykyk), but I'm hoping for FFXVII they get a bit more out there with the setting a la FFX. I miss Isamu Kamikokuryo's art direction 2
Fevesy Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Oomf sent me this since I'm not touching Dawntrail for a bit Yes FFX reference 2

I miss Isamu Kamikokuryo's art direction If FF16 is Reputation then I hope FF17 is Lover. FF16 is my favorite but the only logical follow up to me is to keep the gameplay style but set it in a world based on fairies, elves, fairy tales. 1
Club classic Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Finally playing Rebirth, on chapter 10 and it's fantastic but jesus Yuffie is the worst written character I've ever seen anywhere. Annoying and one dimensional.
