FF7 TIME GHOSTS GENERAL
Serious question: Was the original story even good?
Yes. It was like the only good FF story.
Every other FF was generic Evil vs Good.
yes industrial vs spritiual, planet vs space alien parasite.
Planet gets to decide if he purges humans as well for their industrial poisoning so heros dont even know if its a good idea, enviromental themse etc
Actually yes. It was one of the few FFs to do anything interesting with story telling and still actually make sense. The only other one like that was Tactics.
hell no
and the characters suck
The story is decent and Cloud is a good protagonist.
But by that logic XIII's story should be considered good too.

It's all in the execution.

Time Ghost, coast to coast.
>Yes.
True.
>It was like the only good FF story.
>Every other FF was generic Evil vs Good.
False and contrarian.
So, if the autism ghosts didn't show up here, realistically what happens?
>Cloud realizes he wasn't a Soldier
>maybe gets mindfucked into a coma
>Sephiroth can't get the Black Materia because his other henchmen are jobbers
Would Hojo have accidentally saved the world?
The world wouldn't be saved cause Shinra would still be around.
Good point.
these scenes where the time ghosts appear just to whisk some character(s) away crack me up every time. it's like a shitty Dorkly comedy sketch but it's 6,000 Japanese Yen.
just post Tifa's titties instead
Its death would have been postponed by probably a couple centuries though.
Purease understandu. This is the onri way to remaku faithfurry
>tfw SFM is a better FF VII Remake than the real one
Yes and Cloud would have fuck Tifa earlier
Can he be stopped?
I only played the first XIII one but i didn't mind the story in that one it was the characters that were kind of shit, i liked the black guy but that's it.
what the hell is this time ghost shit? goddamn so retarded
This is funny as fuck. Imagine lacking a sense of humor
>nuCloud reaches Cid's place in Rocket Town and decides he's had enough of his pessimistic melancholy bitching about the rocket failure and tries to leave
>the time ghosts force him to sit in his chair and drink his goddamn tea
>Every other FF was generic Evil vs Good.
FFXII says hello
Stop trying to put good light onto xiii. It's trash live with it.
Why is Nomura taken seriously? Dude can't keep up with schedules
The thing is FF7 used fun storytelling devices like during Cloud's flashbacks at Nibelheim Sephiroth asks Cloud a question but turns to a random grunt instead of turning towards "Cloud" to visually show that the truth is leaking through Cloud's delusion.
Tactics was just a very straightforward story that had several moving pieces with their own agendas and goals. It was well executed but wasn't as ambitious as 7.
It was but XII made the brave decision to have the player take the role of the evil villain who ultimately wins.
>evil
Nope.
Because he makes them money.
Cloud would just deny it.
>Fuck you Hojo, you just plaing tricks on me.
>Games continues as in original.
THAT'S IT HOJO YOU ABSOLUTE TOOL WE FUCKING WARNED YOU. YOU ARE GOING TO COSTA DEL SOL TO GET YOUR DICK WET AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT
>did you know that despite only being 13% of Midgar's population blacks commit the overwhelming about of it's … What!? What is this-
>Evil asshole says something that sounds preposterous/duplicitous
>Believe him enough for some reason that the timebandits have to swoop in
If these fucking ghosts are gonna be flying around every time a character goes even mildly off script, regardless of the actual impact it would have, this game is gonna be fucking hilarious
But Venat wins, Venat isn't in the party and isn't evil either.
NOOOO I DONT WANT TO GET MY DICK SUCKED BY THE BEACH HOTTIES I NEED TO STAY PURE FOR MY WAIFU NOOOOOOO
I can't remember; does the original game ever explain why those beach thots are hanging around some greasy old scientist dude?
>Builds a private army of child soldiers, thieves, and disgraced traitors
>Steals WMD with express purpose to use it on the most powerful nation on the planet regardless of what destruction it will bring to civilians of both nations
>Destabilizes Global Power balance by assassinating Head of State because her dipshit husband ran off to war and died
I rest my case
Yes. The pacing was tight, the characters were likeable, and the stakes were high. The game had issues - the only characters to get real emotional development other than Cloud were Red XIII, Barret, and Cid - but overall it was a thematically complete and compelling package. It's possible that this story will keep most of the good and change some of the bad, but I'm worried that Nomura and Nojima will just think that sad things happening makes for a worse story.
he works for Shinra…. he gotta be filthy stinking rich
you don't think Tifa got any emotional development?
they can smell that Jenova-infused super sperm
Never explicitly explained. I think the subtext is just the normal assumption that dude has fat stacks of cash, and they're gold diggers.
Those ghosts literally ruins this game for me.
Why they had to ruin this game, Yas Forums? Like why?
I usually dont care but fuck FFVII was the first jrpg I ever played, and I cant help but feel sad with the way they are ruining this REMAKE.
She got a background story, but she was mostly just there to play off of Cloud. All of her moments were Cloud's moments but reflected off of a mirror that was willing to express a wider gamut of emotions. It's fine, it worked for the game, and if I were to list a fourth it'd be her, but there's definitely room to give her her own personality and opinions.
A
FUCKING
GHOST
1.) Literally doesn't happen. Ashe doesn't build anything.
2.) Also doesn't happen. The "WMD" was her birthright, you can't steal what's already yours. And yes, Ashe did want to use it but then decided not to so it didn't even matter.
3.) Global power balance was already destablized and all she did was stop a war that was going to more harm than she even intended to with the nethicite and meanwhile stopped the watcher gods from interferring in their world and controlling everything by offerring access to WMDs to whoever they wanted to win.
FFXII's heroes were the villains and the villains were the heroes. The heroes won.
>Why they had to ruin this game, Yas Forums? Like why?
fans shat all over them for MMOs and garbage games ever since the Enix merger. this is them shitting all over their fans in revenge.
Are those going to be a meme now? It looks hilarious.
The Remake being shit on its own is one thing, but it's like they want to retroactively ruin the original too.
They have ESL watchers too?
Tifa's problem in the original is her character collapses into nothing when Cloud isn't in the equation. She's his anchor, great, but does her character stand on its own? Not really. All of her motivations essentially centered around "Will this help/hurt Cloud?" She definitely could use a tune up to her character arc, so I'm hoping they execute it well. I feel a lot more vengeance from her, and internal conflict about that in the remake, which is a good start.
XIII's story sucks because some magic fate bullshit puts the characters together and drives them to action. VII's story is driven by a group that chose to take action.
because they hate zoom zooms and you, as they grew older they learned that you're a worthless piece of shit that can only consume, so they would rather rape the series to death then churn out another shitty remake.
lol doesnt matter time ghosts so no stakes lol
Honestly, how will people react when it releases in a few days?
>Cloud tries to tell Barret to not attack the Scorpion when its tail is up
>Time ghost forces itself into Cloud's mouth so all that comes out is "attack while its tail is up!"
stole it from the previous thread
How come when the SHINRA ship docks in Costa de Sol, no one bats an eye that the entire crew was slaughtered by JENOVA? Heideigger was right there and he doesn’t give a shit that something just happened. And who docked the boat?
Yes. Aerith dying was meh and having characters die permanently for dramatic effect had been done in the series before. But the main character misremembering his own past because he actually mixed up his own past with his friend's memories was a pretty neat twist that I can't really recall being done before. Plus it had a much larger cast with more interesting characters than the vast majority of games.
FFX had a good story too. Weird character designs in some places and some so-so voice acting but the overall plot was easily one of the most interesting FF stories.
Think how much more money they would have made though if they'd had a proper FF7 remake ready to go years ago.
>Time Janny: Look man the future is pretty sweet, you win man, hey look Nanashi is it? You got a sweet family as well your species isn't on the brink of extinction anym-
>Red XIII: CLOUD THIS IS HORRIBLE WE HAVE TO STOP IT
Time ghosts bitch slapped them
You babies have not seen a sequel actively ruin the original before. Yeah the Remake sucks, we can ignore it and play the original just like we did for AC, Crisis Core, etc. The Time Jannies confirm the PS1 game is the "correct" timeline anyway so its not like SE is saying you are wrong for liking it.
obviously the ghosts are meant to represent the old ff7 fans who want a faithful remake.
going out of your way to make a remake of a classic game just to make fun of your old fans is a real dick move though.
Here you go user
I can tell you exactly how people will react.
The ones who actually played the original will hate it, and the new faggots, as well as the ones who are into this shit just to be a part of the faggot train, will not care and just call it a masterpiece cuz they dont wanna be part of the minority who hates it.
Because Hojo is the best character in the game, and has always represented my personal life goals.
Personally I think the doomposters saying the masses will hate it are in a pretty dumb bubble. The average person loves subversive narratives, because they want stories to be a rollercoaster that they can't figure out. Granted the original was subversive as hell too, but everyone knows the major story beats. Purists will probably be upset, but how many of them exists? Surely it's a minority.
>Time Janny: Look Cid, you finally achieve your dream of getting into space
>Cloud: Oh my god, the Rocket exploded! I can't believe Cid died to stop Meteor
The original was written by an emo teenager. The writing reflects that, it's like a terrible deviant art fan fiction.
You are a fucking moron.

SAVING THE PLOT
>Yes. Aerith dying was meh and having characters die permanently for dramatic effect had been done in the series before.

Cloud is built up as a cool hero guy the entire storylien, but then the big twist is that Cloud was a failure! He failed in his then life's quest and it was all to impress Tifa. He then ended up being a lowly Shinra soldier, the very same kind that you kill rather flippantly. That was what was so mind blowing about it. It takes a lot of guts to amke your character's backstory that they're a loser.
Then Cloud becomes the SOLDIER hero he wanted to be anyways (with some Mako treatment and Jenova help from Hojo)
>The remake everyone wanted is getting butfucked by timeline shit and some fucking MYSTERY NIGGAS who act as real-time editors
Can't make this shit up. Literal clowny clown clown world everywhere.
Yes. Time Ghosts now defecate all over it but it's funny in a strange kind of way.
>Barret falls down a cliff in the Golden Saucer prison shithole
>Time Ghosts catch him mid-air and propel him back onto safe ground
>No one questions this, dude materia LMAO
This is the kind of shit I wanna see.
>Time Ghosts
>Not Chrono _iggers
CLEAN IT UP, TIME JANNIES
>Hey Bill did that ninja girl open a shop this early?
>I don't know man just let it happen
>Professor! I've come to a realization.
>Plunging the continent into a brutal war without doing my due diligence would be foolhardy and disastrous. It may be difficult for me to trust again, but if Dimitri and Claude are willing to meet me halfway, I think the four of us can work toge-
>IT'S THOSE WHO RETCON IN THE DARK
B I G
Those milkers really make me wonder what all the fuss was about.
I dont know, but SE lied to all the fans for years by calling it remake. There will be some immense disappointment in a few days
>Every other FF was generic
I'd take A FUCKING TREE over the trash 7 is
after Yozora i don't even doubt that's exactly what Nomura wants the ghosts to mean
That creepy as motherfuck Hojo is great, what a shame he's wasted on this nu plot.
It was shallow but excellently told. Literally the only reason the game is worth playing, because the gameplay was seven kinds of broken and you can find better minigames elsewhere. The entire strength of FF7 was that it was so well composed that people are still arguing about these Lego block motherfuckers to this day.
Even in the remake it's evident: all the best content is the stuff that sticks to the original despite this being a fast paced ARPG instead of a turned based game. It was designed that fucking well.
Based. You too want to cuck a vampire, eh?
People pissed because they aren't nearly as big as porn artists draw them
