All the other little things that ruined FF7R

Let's cast aside the time jannies, Sephiroth throwing buildings at you, destiny and all that stuff. What are the small changes that were meant to improve the game and ruined it?

>NPCs copy pasted from FFXV that don't belong to a FF universe
>the boring and poorly written NPCs that you have to actually interact with: Chadley, Marle, Whyle, the Shinra executives in the train, the orphans, and all that bullshit only introduced to waste time
>sidequests are some of the worst in the history of gaming
>crystarium basically replacing equipment and materia slots
>"all" materia for multiple targets is gone/linking materia is almost always pointless beside elemental
>anything summon related: Chadley, too many summons, no summoning outside boss battles
>all enemies are hp sponges specifically to make you waste time
>cutscene after cutscene after cutscene
>little soulful details removed without a reason: pinball room, wall market sidequest
>music tracks out of place: world map theme in sector 7 slums and Corel theme in the church
>MERC MERC MERC MERC DO THIS DO THAT

The angel of the slums

incel

I agree with most of that but the cutscenes one are a stretch it's literally a JRPG what do you expect?

>NPCs copy pasted from FFXV
who gives a shit? now they get to be in an actual good game instead of a dumpster fire. i didn't bother reading the rest of your list since you started off with such a pointless nitpick.
cope with the fact that nomura made another masterpiece.

9 to 15 hours of cutscenes in a game of 30 hours (tops) is beyond ridiculous

They turned Aerith into a pottymouth

>all enemies are hp sponges specifically to make you waste time

Isnt this like, all videogames ever?

Are... you actually suggesting that esteemed video game journalists like GIANTMONKEYBUTT and SHROOMASTER were... wrong?

>caring about metashit scores ever
do you even play videogames?

>Marle
oh you mean the old bad ass woman whos basically a granny to tifa, taught her a lot of what she knows and helped her set up in sector 7?

fuck that. always liked the idea that tifa carved out a nice life with a decent bar dispite how terrible things were. but nope, i guess she couldnt do anything on her own and apparnetly everyone in the clean, lovely, sunny slums helped.

Jessie turned into a manipulative tinder whore

Tifa acting like a Japanese idol.

The npcs are so fucking ugly and badly dressed. In the slums I feel like im in the faggiest part of San Francisco.

I just noticed
Both RE2r and FFVIIr sort of betrayed themselves by going action, and both had to go for damage sponges because action would make the game too easy. RE2r had retarded headshot tanking, FFVIIr just turns everybody into sponges so you can't just combo them quickly and move on like in any normal action game
Too much of a stretch?

>"all" materia for multiple targets is gone
It's not. Magnify materia does exactly that.
>no summoning outside boss battles
Wrong. You can use summons on some regular battles as well, the ones that have stronger enemies.
>the Shinra executives in the train
You're pretty fucking stupid if you thought this somehow doesnt fit because it was an iconic moment in the original and it was pretty well redone here with an almost identical dialogue

What the fuck is "time jannies"? That is such a retarded phrase.

they put the real fans of the game in the game as entities who want the devs to follow the actual plot of the original

The history niggas

most people that work for don corneo are all nice people really and even the main guy in his mansion is a cool guy with a standard nomura design who helps you out because hes sooo cool.

They're ghost niggers that manipulate time and they do it for free

its a different timeline fellas. its why theres different music and why the va's changed. im really hoping that negro barret dies for real next game. if that shinra scene with the ancients is to be believed aeris and someone else in the party will die

You're right. I prefer Chrononiggers

>no summoning outside boss battles
NO
FUCKING
WAY

Please tell me this is not true. Summoning already sucked in FF15. Why would they repeat this mistake again?

WHY?! WHY DO ASIANS LOVE RUINING GAMES?!

>Barret doesnt rush in and shoot everybody out 7th Heaven
>The orchestral approach to the music, while sounding nice and refined, also makes it more generic than the original ost. the one immediate outlier is the air buster fight.
>Cloud's hair being his AC cut despite this being a ""faithful"" extraction of the source material and the fact that NT Dissidia has proven that the original design works in HD.
>English voice cast being changed, but the Japanese ones were allowed reprisal
>Classic mode not even feeling an honest attempt at the original's ATB system
>Watchmen of Fate this early, regardless of everything
>Tifa actually needing muscle to help her with collecting money from people
>Damage being strict before staggering, but enemy damage being generous, and the weapon upgrade system feeling like the forcibly grindy ghost of FFXIII has come to haunt niggas once more
>The fact that I know they are going to fuck up J-E-N-O-V-A considering the game's ver. of Juno Reactor

I never played XV and i really like this nu-VII.

>with an almost identical dialogue
my ass, it used to be 2-3 lines of dialogoue but now its a 5 minute scene with comically undertones from the way the 3 shinra execs act despite it not being funny.

It's official.

Seems appropriate. There isn't really another remark for that particular situation she is in there.

Kinda liked Roche. Expected him to come back a little bit later but never did. Thought for sure he'd be back during the speeding escape at the end...

Don't be ashamed to stand by your masterful reviews, GIANTMONKEYBUTT.

Nah, you can summon in any battle that has enemies that last longer than 10 seconds.
But you're not a noob that relies on summons, right?

it appears is some very specific fights apart from bosses but still super rare and honestly there not that good. they come in as an extra part member but you have to use your atb to make them use their better moves and the better ones cost a lot. usually if its a boss or tougher fight youll want that atb for healing or buffing too so it doesnt help much.

REmake 2 is a very good game user.

>Jessie being THIS (read: UNABASHEDLY) wet for Cloud at all fucking times when at most she probably was just developing a small crush for him in the original
>FUCKING DAYTIME IN MY MIDGAR
Shit take incoming i guess, but i think even AC did it better by it only being sunny during the end events of the movie. Midgar was never fucking made to be see in anything other than perpetual nighttime.
>Pop-in textures ahoy

Aerith was originally playful and flirtatious, if you think she mustn't say 'shit' you've played too much KH and the compilation games

The nitpicking threads like this will always be hilarious because people like you are the ones that make them and inhabit them.

I just remembered in the original Tifa stops Barrett from tearing the guy a new asshole, then apologizes to him with a little apology bow, Japanese style. It was such a little tiny cute thing, perfectly in theme with the Japanese corporate atmosphere they were building. Why did they change it?

Summoning would just trivialize the normal fights, it doesn't make sense gameplay wise. Then when they do happen they come in clutch to save your ass from getting beat.

Nuh uh, it's only against strong enemies like bosses. It's not time based.

people will tell you its fine, but considering her track record of language, it really isnt. hate how much of an uphill battle it is with stuff like that, but inconsistency somewhere else is found inexcusable.

>FUCKING DAYTIME IN MY MIDGAR
yes? as ever?

Play more jrpgs
50/50 cutscene to gameplay is pretty generous

Like I said, enemies that last longer than 10 seconds. Why would you use summons on wererats when the summon animation would take longer than just finishing them off?

This bothers me so fucking much. Who the fuck is this character? She's some teeny bopper shithead now. I liked OG Tifa for being reserved and somewhat aloof. There was nothing quirky about her.

my bad, i meant the slums more specifically.

>gotta beat Shiva in VR to get her summon materia
>ok, nothing better to do while Aerith is fucking off somewhere
>go in solo and beat her after a few attempts
>later realize you can use you can bring party members into the simulation
>feel like a badass for 1v1ing Shiva

It's a fun game

Can someone explain to me the time jannies? i don't understand a fucking thing after finishing the game

fuck these summon fights
FUCK THEM

this game wasn't MADE for not being able to dodge shit, using fucking elements correctly and STILL GETTING WRECKED.

sorry, im getting put to sleep, a status which i can't cure on my own, since its a single battle or have any items to prevent? FUCK YOU

Wall Market is no longer a dangerous seedy shithole. there are tourists everywhere and fucking children running around

Wall market side quest is in the game retard. There’s two routes one of which has the original side quests with the dad etc

This. Her animation is way too much. I don't mind some cute gestures from time to time but my god it's everywhere in chapter 3. I'm only in chapter 7, and she seemed to have dialed down on her Japanese idol gestures in chapter 6. Maybe because she's alot more honest in front of Cloud but not Barret?

I'll always believe that if your goal is to develop a remake then removing content that was in the original is literally the most stupidest decision you could ever make.

History niggas are literally fans trying to stop Nomura from changing the plot. They're the good guys, and you killed them.

They made Midgar slums comfy. That's the biggest fucking issue right there.

They look like my foreskin was dragged through dirt.

It's sad that there are people making posts like this unironically.

They completely removed that delightful father/daughter situation and banter between Cloud and Aeris you troon

that's pretty hot

the timeline is supposedly fixed. the whispers are there to make sure things happen that are destined to happen. you end up fighting and defeating them -- what does it mean!?!? 7 seconds...

>what is warding materia
>what are status preventing accessories

Because I fucking want to? how is this a hard concept to grasp, yes it should be a total waste of MP but I should be allowed to waste my MP however I see fit.

A retarded phrase for a retarded concept.

Totally agree with this. The closest thing to this is when Barret storms into Elmyra's house looking for Marlene and Tifa calls him out and stops him from making a scene.
Tifa in general feels kind of weird, very anxious all the time and sort of paranoid. It also feels like the chemistry she and Cloud had is not quite there, not only in the beginning ("you've changed, Cloud...") but also when they're deep into the Shinra crisis ("Cloud, you're hurting me" when they were hugging at Aerith's garden).

i hated the insane level of character developement for wedge. dont get me wrong i guess i dont hate the character but we get so little for vital characters. meanwhile we learn his 3 fucking cats names, he has major growth moment fighting to save sector 7 and he lives to save the day at shinra tower.

The weird thing about the out-of-place NPCs is that the original game's main characters had about that much detail as well. They over-detail the main characters, and make a problem that never existed before.

So we just strayed from the original timeline for no reason

that's just the level of autism the game wasn't built for

I bet he thinks Sid is just a goofy redneck and not a bitter angry man who shits all over the woman he lives with

>Nibelheim flashback for some reason
>its playable
>If you try to remove the pre-emptive materia, a TIME NIGGA keeps forcing it back into a slot

How do you react?

>want to play a video game? what are you? autistic?
This is where gaming has ended up. I bet you defend invisible walls as well.

Personally I love the added character development, Wedge is actually memorable and likable instead of being tossed to the side immediately.

I'm on chapter 14 but I don't fucking get why he has to live. What's the god damn point, with no Jessie or Biggs. He has not much else to contribute to the story.

>They over-detail the main characters
That's just a typical Nomura problem. He would rather waste time and resources making the main characters hyper realistic but then completely ignore the quality of the remaining art.

Fuck you that redone boss track during airbuster was kino of the highest order. Get out of here.

Hallways and time wasting shit

i used to think barret wouldn't stick out in the slums. everyone seemed just as shady and dangerous. but now theyve made every NPC look like a hipster coffee barista with the colored glasses, beard and gel'd up hair.plus all there clothes are so prim, proper and clean.

it's an act, the cheery facade she has learned to put up in day to day life.

>with no Jessie or Biggs
Please finish the game and join us complainers.

no

I kinda like that. In the original cloud pretty much spends 90% of the battles with his sword on his back unless you built him a specific way. Not being able to summon every fight makes it sound better

All of avalanche ending up dead was the drive for Barrett leaving Midgar in order to continue the fight against Shinra elsewhere. It just doesn't make sense that anyone is left alive, because if this is the case, why aren't they joining him?

Mayor Domino was fun
