They did it because it was a way to sell off nostalgia without making the entire game in HD. Expect the sequel parts to be shorter and less intricate than the original

>everyone wants the perfect version of the game inside their heads lmao rabid fanboys are lame
Jackson Nguyen
this
Jonathan Smith
they threw the time ghosts in to make sense of all the weirdness in the old game.
should of let it be
Nicholas Turner
The only reason this game exists is because of the fanbase asking for it
William Bennett
It exists because SE wanted to make it, because they're bleeding money due to production costs. Companies are not your friends.
Liam Edwards
>purist retards claim they never wanted a remake >still complain the remake they didn't want isn't 1:1
Owen Ward
no
it exists because they can sell to a large number of people, aka the fanbase wanted it. that user is right
however, the reason it's not a 1:1 remake is because nomura feels like they could never replicate the game perfectly to everyones tastes so instead they let you have a HD version (that's honestly the laziest shit) and a new modern adventure with those characters
I've come to accept it, knowing full well that story will be pure KH2-esque shit, I'll at least wait until it happens before I get angry, otherwise I'm losing my sanity over nothing
John Fisher
They are also selling it to completely new people. They couldn't care less about the screeching fanbase.
Gabriel Lewis
Did they really not include the prison scene in Shinra tower after you get caught? That bothers me more than the time ghosts if so.
Joshua Jenkins
No you didn't
Michael Allen
What weirdness? Did you actually play FF7?
Gavin Davis
How so?
Leo Ortiz
>Why couldn't they have just remade the game with better graphics, voice acting, and gameplay? But thats what they are doing
Ayden Edwards
It's removed, alongside Sephiroth's JENOVA's trail of blood and bodies. Now there's just a line of purple goo.
It is one of the most memorable scenes in the whole Midgar section. I figured they would include some version of it even with the changes they made since they went to the effort to include so many of the old scenes.
Hunter Garcia
Maybe now you'll think before begging for more remakes and retreads because you're so addicted to nostalgia.
Joseph Sanchez
Capcom will defo keep Resident Evil 4's soul tho
Evan Robinson
the dumbest part is they filled what could've been there with The Drum garbage
Samuel Davis
>Why couldn't they have just remade the game with better graphics, voice acting, and gameplay? Because the current status of all of those is fine.
Hudson Hernandez
Honestly I'm glad Square had the balls to tell their audience to go fuck themselves. Reminds me of MGS2.
Aiden Martinez
>Make Midgar 10x longer >Don't make it any less linear Big mistake in my opinion. As tedious as this was to play, I don't think I'll have it in me to buy the next one, I'll just watch the cutscenes on youtube.
Michael Wright
>No one asked for all this filler shit People don't usually ask for what they want in a game's plot before it comes out.
They still made a full length game though, so your criticism is invalid. They probably would've saved money on the writers if they just remade it with updated graphics & mechanics.
Levi Nelson
the extra characterizations and development? fine the padding sidequests and filler missions? not fine the added story clarifications and sprinkled in foreshadowing? fine literally anything and everything to do with the time travel? absolutely fucking retarded

Brandon Cox
just replay the original. it will always exist, forever, in it's untouched perfection. This advent children-tier spinoff will be forgotten in a year.
Bentley Martinez
>Why couldn't they have just remade the game with better graphics, voice acting, and gameplay? That's exactly what they did
Joseph Hughes
cool story bro
Aaron Robinson
>Why couldn't they have just remade the game with better graphics, voice acting, and gameplay? But if the game was already good as so many state, why can't you just play the original and have as much fun as ever? What's the point in making a "timeless classic" look better? This man speaks the truth.
Colton Bell
I have forgiven the game for a lot. It has actually stayed shockingly faithful to most of FF7. THIS, however, pissed me the fuck off. That's one of the most iconic scenes in gaming and they fucked it up.
