How the hell is this shit going to work? Ideally it would've just transferred your stuff from your part 1 save file (with a "default" loadout for lunatics who are jumping in the middle for whatever reason) but they threw in so much endgame equipment to make part 1 feel like a more complete game that I don't really think that's gonna be possible. They could just keep scaling things up and adding new tiers to things like firaga->firaja and such but they would need to add a ridiculous amount to pad out three game's worth. It's going to be bad if they let you go into part 2 with all your maxed out materia and shit but it's also going to be bad if they just wipe the slate and treat it like the beginning of the new game. Is there literally any good way for square to do this?
FF7R part 2
You are going to start over, brand fucking new kiddo.
there's only 12 magic materia in part 1 and they're all very basic, all the summons are low tier too
part 2 will have better spells like flare etc
FF7R is advertised as a standalone game. If they even make the next one there's going to be no transference at all, like going from 13 to 13-2, especially because the next part will probably be on PS5.
We’re going into a new console gen. The same thing happened with witcher 2/3 where 2 was a 360 game and teased carrying your save but 3 was an 8th gen game so console players had to start a fresh save.
It'd be funny if they pulled troll with part 2.
By this I mean they have you save Aerith and all, thinking you won perfect end only so it turns out that you fucked yourself in the ass because Sephiroth kiked you good by making sure that Aerith doesn't die to cuck his plans and you get planet destroyed as ending. Then game forces you to redo everything, and let everything play out as in original game in order to undo the damage.
Sadly, this won't happen.
They will pull XV novel tier of ending in which everyone is happy, saved, while uncle Sephiroth pulls Vergil and gets away with everything because Zack (Nero) decided to save his soul or some other gay shit like it.
ps5 is an update to ps4 in the same way ps4 pro was, it'll be fully BC with ps4 games so there's no reason not to support save transfers. You just pop in your ps4 disc and get a ps5 texture pack download
>implying they'd build all these assets and then abandon them to rebuild them all for the PS5 instead of reusing them for the sequel
There'll be a dual release on PS4/PS5. Anyway, I imagine they have a small internal counter for things like "did you talk to Tifa or Aerith first in the sewer" and "what did you say in these circumstances" and perhaps some import bonuses a la Trails games.
what if yuffie steals all your shit at the beginning of the next game? that doesn't deal with levels though...
They just need to do it like .Hack games did back on PS2.
yeah the geometry will be the same, the only thing that might see a substantial update is textures for 4K. But Square can't even get textures working on PS4 half the time
FF7R always has some subtle level scaling for regular enemies, it'll be the same in the future episodes.
lol, they’ve literally written the perfect excuse to not bother with transferring data: The Time Jannies took your materia/equipment!
If people are willing to accept fucking ghosts with meta-awareness of the OG’s plot, and say they’ll love it, they’ll swallow any garbage SE pumps out.
Though to be fair, XV's ending wasn't one where everyone is happy and saved.
>time jannies
how fucking retarded are you exactly? why do I keep seeing people call the whispers this? what the fuck does multiple dimensions have to do with time travel???
Please fucking stop breathing
both new consoles are backwards compatible, it could import saves easily
FF15's ending (and the whole game) was a dumpster fire.
Oh goodie just what I want in my games. Advertisement for real world stuff.
I'm so glad none of that shit made it's way into FF7. Not a single coleman chair.
Are you actually upset that Yas Forums has technically misnamed one of the stupidest things in the history of gaming, because it implies they’re something they aren’t.
Fuck bro.
Are you ok?
He's talking about novel they made of XV.
Short version: Ardyn dindo nuffin. Everyone lived happily ever after. Ardyn still died, but he got remembered as Jesus who was a saint Peter of story.
They tried to push this novel as supposed "canon" ending of XV.
What's everyone's average level once completing this game? 40s? Will we be level 234 by the time we actually finish the whole thing?
what the fuck does multiple dimensions have to do with Final Fantasy 7 at all user?
I see the solution as having two options for the game.
A normal new game and a "ng+" with buffed up enemies to balance the level cap and materia.
I don't know how they will manage materia thought, maybe as the other user said and creating another 3 tires of materia, but that could escalate very badly beyond a second game.
>Firaja +3, kek
I'll be skipping part 1 and starting at part 2.
never play jrpg sequels before? they just check if you have the save from previous game and give you some bonus item to start
To be fair, Sephiroth killed far less people than Vergil did, and if he is trying to "redeem" himself (which I doubt, I'm pretty sure he is trying to pull a Jew), then at least he's actually working for it. I love DMC and Vergil as well, but ending of DMC5 was beyond retarded that you honestly can't go worse than Vergil's "redemption" non-existing arc.
Don't you kill time jannies? I haven't gotten that far but that's what I heard.
Oh god dont remind me of the XV novel. XV's ending was the only fucking good thing about it and they had to go and ruin that too.
>dude what if bahamut could just resurrect Luna
>dude what if Ardyn dindu nuffin
>dude what if bahamut is actually the bad guy and has some 2000iq keikaku that also implies that the original ending is completely pointless and that he just kills everyone afterwards
>dude what if we added random versus shit even though it doesn't really make sense anymore
>dude Luna is Eos now
>Noctis returns to insomnia by himself which shits on all the brotherhood shit they were trying to do
I will never stop being mad about xv in general.
The difference is that while Sephiroth (the real one) did murder less people than Vergil, he also murdered people that mattered, unlike Vergil who killed bunch of literal whose.
Both Tifa's father and Cloud's mother were important due to Tifa and Cloud having prominent role within the story. So you get to feel their pain because of it, which makes gravity of Sephiroth's crime seem worse to you. Vergil doesn't kill anybody you would actually feel for. If there was a character that we are meant to care about that had their loved one killed by Vergil's autism, it'd be different.
I agree that Vergil's *redemption* was forced as fuck because it wasn't even a redemption at all.
I don’t know what their exact logic will be but I bet they use the time ghost stuff from the ending of first game as an excuse as to why you’re suddenly level 1 and don’t have your equipment or materia. They came up with some similar excuse for each kingdom hearts game so they could reset Sora.
with no grinding and doing most of the subquest it's about 30-35
this is about right, I'm at chapter 16 and did all the side quests and got leviathan, I'm at 32
Sad thing is that fans had better idea for how 5 could redeem Vergil and make it good, yet they went for the most retarded option that honestly made me dislike Vergil.
Lucky for DMC it's not a franchise that requires a good story to be good, so it's allowed to have garbage for its plot as long as it's fun to play.
Absolutely NOTHING will transfer. It will be treated completely separate and you will have to reunlock all the summons and materia.
It's kinda funny (and sad at the same time) that the best version of XV was the vanilla one without any addition which was already extremely flawed. For some reason, the more content they made for XV (update additions / episodes) the worse it became plot-wise. It's a game with a huge wasted potential, that's for sure.
So by the time you get to golden saucer we'll be 90?
>super speshul spooky ghosts flying around and deleting things they don't like
Time Jannies is apt.
my man
By the end of the game we could be level 150. They don’t have to make 100 the cap. It’ll “subvert expectations”
