This is the most padded game I've ever played

is FF7r the Jackson Hobbit Trilogy of video games?

Not gonna play the game til I can get it used for $10. What is the shit with that new character on the motorcycle who seems to move it around as if it is in a 3d model diagram with no gravity? That is probably the thing I've seen so far that completely turned me away more than anything, even the retarded as fuck time ghost bullshit.

if stuff like that bothers you, just stay away from any final fantasy game

>What is the shit with that new character on the motorcycle who seems to move it around as if it is in a 3d model diagram with no gravity?
they HAD to add some stupid AC shit so they added him

I warned you, folks. Now kill those rats, wagie.

That has nothing to do with other final fantasy games, i know what he is talking about it just looks terrible

No, just stay away from bad ones like 13, 15 and 8

>something terribly animated coming from the mind of an 8 year old playing around with some legos is normal for final fantasy games
No user... It really isn't... FF is my favorite series so I won't stay away either.

No joke this made me cancel my pre-order

How is it padded? Surely the game manages to stay interesting despite Midgar being expanded on.

play it and find out

Remember the screen between sector 5 slums and the playground? the one screen tunnel with the broken road. Well they made that one screen a 25 minute slog with crane puzzles. Thta's the kind of padding there is

Midgar is literally the worst part of FF7 and making an entire game about it was a terrible mistake.

It's crazy padded. There are lots of sections where you have to walk or balance or climb or do other slow shit.

But when people are talking about padding it's mostly the optional side quests which are just fetch quests but pretty damn long due to dialogue, just pointless filler with random quicky NPCs. It's a lot like FFXV.
>long exposition dump
>yeah I need you to kill some rats
>please find my cats
>can you deliver this for me?
>train graveyard now takes over an hour

The main quest is elongated as well.

think what padded means and figure it out

>optional side quests
So the game is good if you skip all that?

No. I can't really articulate it well but the entire game is like that, if you aren't playing it with the aim to do the retarded side quests the game is short and still padded.

It's a nostalgia bait game that shits on the old core fanbase's dreams. I can't recommend it if you aren't hyped for it and don't like side quests.

How is the impaled Zolom supposed to look impressive now after they witnessed Sephiroth already bend space and time? Unless Nomura will completely derail the story with the creative freedom he now has for Part 2.

good god that section was horrible.

It hasn't sunk in yet for you huh. The remake was very bad even if you're only looking at the comparable things. The next game will be far worse now that they have confirmed the future is unkown

>No guys we absolutely have to split the game into parts, it's just too big!

God I fucking hate Nomura. How is his popularity in Japan?

awful bait

Guess I'll watch a let's play of it then.

I'm not opposed to them expanding certain small sections but they're doing so in the most boring and lazy way possible.

I don't know anyone who prefers Midgar over the game after the world map opens up.

There's so much walking and talking. Like yeah I get it it's a jrpg there's a lot of dialogue, but I'm so fucking sick of walk and talk segments in games where you just hold forward on the stick for like 10 minutes not really going anywhere while you wait for the characters to say whatever the fuck they're saying, only to have yet another cutscene immediately after where people just keep running their fucking jaw. Especially in games like this that are trying to also be action games. I want to fight shit and move on not spend 10 minutes holding forward on the stick while Wedge talks about pizza.

replayed the game last week and I agree, fuck shitgar

I find myself enjoying some of the little touches.
Like some rank and file Shinra grunt actually recognizing Cloud during the upper plate escape, since it makes sense that that's the only stratum in Shinra where someone might

Why? It's like 30 hours long you faggot, do something with your own life don't watch a 30 hour movie.

It's so slooooooooooow and like 70% of the game is cringe cut scene after cringe cut scene. Dialogue boxes work so much better.

There's too much railroading and walking and talking. It's infuriatingly slow

>Linear as fuck
>Stagger system
>future visions and trying to defy fate
Definitely feels 13-ish.

yes, and like that was galls me the most is that cutting it in half would have been a fine compromise

I warned you guys, I really did. But I was told to be quiet, because nothing I said could be "proven" even though it was a very likely, and logical, inference on my part.
I mean you could tell from how much screen time certain characters had. While I do not think she is the problem in any way, Tifa is a good example. Tifa has very little going on as her own character in the original Midgar. She is set up and they let her sit until the time was right. They gave her enough personal attention that you knew she would be important without needing to give her "stuff". Now she's like a water filter salesman, and you spend hours in between the pillar falling and Shinra HQ fucking about with her and Barrett. The most exciting part of the original Midgar, that push to get back and Shinra and get Aerith back is now a slog

rufus, the tank/helicopter thing and motorball were the previous 3 fights
enough bosses

FF7 should have been called Final Sci-fi 2

It's kind of nuts, right? I'm just happy that the combat is good otherwise I would have been actually mad instead of just sighing. But I'm not at the end yet so this might change for the worse.
Either way SE needs level-designers and game planners.

>quest markers
fuck this shit. The sole fact that those weren't present is what made old final fantasy games so great

Does that mean the next part will open up a bit and have you hopping between timelines?

Also the composer is Hamauzu.

That honestly seems not unlikely based on the ending. Maybe not part 2 but I can absolutely see that happening with where the plot is headed so far.

And time travelling to fight genesis too, it's gonna be great

if cloud is able to fly through the air easily slicing buildings and trains in half with his sword at the end of midgar. then how the fuck are they planning to make him grow in the other parts of the game? he's already a fucking demi god. fighting the turks is going to feel absolutely ridiculous.

I can imagine it ending up being about trying to alter things to prevent Aerith's death.

It would have been just that. But then it would be like if in the first Hobbit movie, Jackson decided Smaug would travel back in time and constantly sexually harass Bilbo in visions while trying to change the outcome of history while a bunch of weird ghosts try to keep things on track with the original story

tfw never played ff7 and will play and enjoy this

seethe and cope weebs

>and you no longer go downsatirs
Excuse me what?

Imagine them presenting Midgar Zolom as a threat and having its corpse be a big reveal when just a bit ago Cloud and co were fighting a giant time monster, ghost Bahamut, and Sephiroth himself while flying through the air and chopping buildings in half.
Hell, just shortly before all that Rufus was supposed to be presented as a threat and he's just a guy with a shotgun. The whole current ending sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the game at all.

You're the one choosing to play a shit dull game over an interesting good one. Your loss.

>buying a game for schadenfreude
whatever gets you off

People demanded a remake for years, and got it.

You should have factored in so much of the original team that gave it its charm was long-gone by now.

>The whole current ending sticks out like a sore thumb and doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the game at all.
even at the end of the intro cloud does a 30 foot jump, it's AC from the start. in the original game cloud slashed once every attack, he didn't stwirl around like dante.

why would you admit to being underage?

It is literally not a remake. It's a sequel. They advertised it as a remake, and made a sequel instead.

people with taste

“We have to pad everything out as much as possible to justify this being episodic.”

I did
I never had any intention of buying this game
some people just can't accept that a thing they like is disliked by somebody else, so they take it personally, or do the mental gymnastic bullshit

Who else is replaying the original right now? Having a good time desu

This game is like 75% great and 25% irredeemable. It's like they were making an actual genuine FF7 remake at one point but it got muddied up by OC nonsense

This is the only good part of the game.

It's a remake.

And it doesn't even have costume-modding for making everyone nude like the Resident Evil remakes do.

dunno if you've finished it yet so i'll put this in spoilers just in case but he shows up later in the Shinra Building and mentions Kunsel, too.

I really like ff7 but I cannot care if people dislike this remake or if I do. ff7 was dead long ago when we decided that advent children mattered.

buddy cop movie when

Yep. I started replaying it weeks ago in anticipation of the remake, but as more details came out, I ended up not buying the remake at all.

It is not a remake. It is LITERALLY a SEQUEL

You might want to use a guide because getting Yuffie is fucking pain

>implying zolom wont be a huge flying snake that shoots lasers n shit

Come on, even some of the journos are starting to shift into calling it a reboot.

What shit? AC had good motorbike animations.

Oh I'm not new to this, I've got Yuffie and Vincent, I've got the whole crew except Clud who is currently in a wheelchair

We all knew it was going to be shit.

Yas Forums always says that and still buys the game to be outraged by it.

A sequel that says remake on the cover and has Aeris back to being alive?

Fuck this. Call me when mods are found so I can have everyone fight evil while wearing speedos. Otherwise I'm not interested.

These over the top animations make everything seem so bland. Too much cocaine in the office Nomura.

>sloppy animations like Cloud sliding across the ground to interact
>graphics going to absolute shit after leaving Sector 8 (you can never return)
>the slums have some of the worst textures I've ever seen and makes Fallout 4 look good
>game looks even worse during daytime segments
>awful facial animations most of the time and NPCs look like absolute trash thanks to the AI system they used
>boring generic fetch quests that rival XV
>no new areas to explore in Midgar, just areas from the original padded out into hallways
>no upper plate exploration at all
>voice acting ranges from decent to trash and they ruined Sephiroth
>Sephiroth shows up within an hour to tell Cloud he killed his mom with probably the worst voice acting in the entire game
>the underplate before Reactor 5 is beyond padded out and basically a boring maze-like area
>music for Air Buster fight is the only boss track that stays true to the original and you never hear it again
>really shitty bike sections
>annoying limited movement speed segments throughout the game
>ghosts showing up every 5 minutes to remind us about muh fate and destiny and other KH/XIII shit
>party AI is absolute fucking garbage 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
>wall market is probably the only good part of the game but still padded too
>the wall climb is probably the ugliest part visually of the game and it's followed by shinra hq which actually looks really good so it's beyond jarring
>more padding with The Drum in Shinra HQ which sucks
>game goes complete KH mode shortly after and nothing of the original FF7 remains
>Zack is back too now with awful voice acing because why not have another MC to make a side game with lol

didn't think it would be this bad

>we need to release the game episodically to tell the full story of FF7
>first episode is full of cut content but also bloated unnecessary side quests and extended story segments nobody asked for

What did they mean by this?

>we can't figure out how to handle the world map so we're stalling

desu a big reason the sequels felt inert was aeris being dead. Because with her went a character connected to the actual lore of the world (cetra, lifestream, materia) so it was just sci-fi with swords.

THE SEETHE
LMAO

i cant wait for mods desu
