You fucking retards have been saying SE has been bleeding money for over a decade, and there's still no proof of that.

prove it

noclip did an entire documentary on how the company almost went bankrupt, had tons of high profile interviews

thanks

They looked at the horde of imageboard autists who insisted that vii was better than x and thought it was a smart financial move.

Who the fuck wants extra content in their remake that expands upon the original game in a meaningful and logical way? Get outta here!

>hold a huge event with celebrities and all for a release date reveal
>delay the game shortly after

my sides have never returned

this is the only reason the remake exists
they couldn't even give 2 shits about it so they outsourced it right off the bat

If they didn't make the changes, no one would be talking about this game in a year. Now people will speculate endlessly.

you are a giga brainlet

kek

The texture stuff really isn't great, no idea what they were thinking.

Waiting for the PC port, thanks for beta testing as usual.
Square-enix has proven time and time again that their games should not be bought at launch.

>air buster theme (the only faithful boss theme) only plays once - after that it's back to orchestral garbage

good lord thats bad

jesus that mouth animation

Its always easy to spot barry.
Whenever hes called out he starts randomly calling everyone else x-kun not realising that no one falls for it

I'm 100% correct. The changes were the correct choice. No one knows what will happen next anymore, meaning the game will still be discussed and relevant when the next episode comes out instead of being forgotten, and people will be shocked when Aerith dies all over again. Newcomers are also protected from spoilers because those spoilers aren't necessarily still valid. It's brilliant.

>What the fuck were they thinking?

That most of the people who are going to buy it never played the original and won't give a shit about the Kingdom Hearts bullshit and will praise it to the end of time.

Or universally reviled and going down in history as one of the worst attempts at a remake of all time.

Heads up if you expect to play tomorrow, psn has data caps and the game is 100 gigs. If you didnt start preload yesterday, you wont be able to play till monday or sunday.

They promised new sectors to explore, it was another lie

>we got sector 7 all lighted up like it's fucking Ibiza, there's even sand all over the place
>also random slum dwellers having a sunbath, doing yoga, stretching and pilates

What the fuck is this place, where is my dystopian metropolis where you can't see the sun, ever

No one cares. Only the completely autistic shills have been "discussing" Nomura's garbage.

Apologize

youtu.be/UtQcQ60sSWg

rather than liking the original, it seems like nomura thought "fuck i could do that way better with more action and drama and characters"

and in the end we got a slow bloated shitty game that undoes a ton of stuff i guess nomura didnt like and adds crap everywhere.

The right thing since it's a huge success.

Except this shit will make even less sense to people who didn't play the original.

>I don't think you really need to have played the original game to enjoy Final Fantasy VII Remake. The game system is new, and all the new bits are thoroughly explained. (Pause) The story has also been arranged to be easy to pick up. So, I think new players should be fine.
>Kazushige Nojima
And you know what sucks? A little before this in the video he seemed like he really had a good grasp of what kind of character Cloud was. And he probably still does, but this whole Time Ghost stuff is baffling.

Cloud doesn't act like he did in the original so...

Cloud's "personality" in 7R is the equivalent to a generic dating sim protagonist and barely resembles his original counterpart.

>Didn't play original
>Zack in the final cutscene
>Who dat?

He literally has a negative personality similarly to AC Cloud.

The only difference is his posture basically.

The ending is questionable, but the low quality of the game is really what gets my goat. I hope there's a patch for those fucking textures.

>consolefag complaining about textures in a 100gb game
when will you learn

shit looks fine everywhere but the slums

>janky as animations like Cloud sliding across the ground to open a chest or activate a switch
>visuals/graphics going to absolute shit after leaving the demo area
>Sector 8 looks okay but the slums have some of the worst textures I've ever seen
>game looks EVER WORSE during daytime segments
>awful facial animations most of the time and NPCs look like absolute trash
>generic fetch quests all over the place
>no new areas to explore in Midgar
>just area from the original padded out into hallways
>no upper plate exploration - the only upper plate action is maybe 2-3 story missions that involve a fight in a giant square arena with nothing of interest
>voice acting ranges from decent to dogshit
>Sephiroth shows up within an hour to tell Cloud he killed his mom
>the underplate before Reactor 5 is beyond padded out and nearly put me to sleep
>music for Air Buster fight is the only boss track that stay true to the original - you never hear it again as it's back to orchestral shit for that boss theme
>ghosts showing up every 5 minutes to remind us about muh fate and destiny and other KH shit
>party AI is absolute dogshit and there isn't even a basic gambit system
>sewers and train graveyard are another example of shit going on for way too long
>some stupid ghost subplot at train graveyard that goes nowhere and makes no sense
>pillar fight was pretty cool but Japanese melodrama happens when characters have to talk for 10 minutes before signing out
>wall market is probably the only good part of the game but even that moved slow as fuck
>the wall climb is probably the ugliest part visually of the game
>then you reach shinra hq which actually looks really good so it's beyond jarring
>more boring slow padding with The Drum
>more REALLY FUCKING STUPID changes
>game goes complete KH mode shortly after and nothing of the original FF7 remains
>Zack is back too now because why not have another MC to make a side game with

i wouldnt bet on it. its amost every other texture after the opening and even simple flat models are low poly in tons of places. this remake needs remastered

He's trying to make Cloud come off as someone who is cool and aloof, but Cloud ends up saying things that are actually lame and rub people the wrong way. He's that insecure kid from that tiny village putting up a big front. Whether that actually shows through, I don't know. I'm not picking this up anytime soon. But that is what Cloud was at the beginning of 7.

I'm waiting for the PC port only because of those texture.

It's ironic when actual autists like you say that. Sperging out because your topic of manchild obsession changed a little(and yes, the changes are very minor overall) is textbook autism.

About milking that fat cow

Nice ad hominem but I'm the one telling the truth here. The changes are anything but minor overall, the story has completely been highjacked starting from the moment the intro ends. And the only people discussing it in positive light are the KH autists who are arguing Sephiroth isn't travelling through time.

Cloud was always a jerkass at the start of FF7. He mellows out over the course of the remake just like he should.

It definitely shows, he even gets called out on it a couple times and his facade cracks.

>MaximilianDood absolutely hates Kingdom Hearts

this is gonna be good

>i'm in charge here!

Is this your first experience with a remake of a story?

A little tip for an autist like you: The changes are EXTREMELY minor compared to how most remakes are changed. For some relevant comparisons, see the Ghost in the Shell live action remake, or any live action remake of an animated movie really, or the Evangelion rebuild movies. Or the Star Trek remake movies, or any redo of classic stories like King Kong or the words of Shakespeare. Compared to any of those FF7R is faithful as fuck, but it's NEVER enough for people like you.
