i think my favorite part of yesterday was that badass modern day viking with the cane talking about the soldier fight game

That guy was hamming it up like crazy "when you look inside yourself, do you see a knight? a viking? a samurai perhaps eh?"

I bet he doesn't need that cane

I loved FF7 but Square hasn't even been able to touch the periphery of FF7 in the last 10 years without loving it up. I don't have a lot of faith in their ability to deliver on this after seeing what happened to Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core.

As long as they don't gently caress up the combat system, it'll be fine.

and how did they manage to gently caress up the d-pad yet again when there's no reason not to just use the cross design?

Cross design is an option (the parts are inter-changeable) but still, $150. And it's 130 pounds in the U.K., which is over $200USD. :allears: :retrogames:

I thought the game looked fine, but limiting it to Vikings, Knights, and Samurai seemed like this game will just become the game that's on a tv in the back of a movie you are watching 5 years from now. The mom tells the son it's bedtime and he says he will turn it off as soon as he gets to a save point.

Know what's funny? This game had a more Little Big Planet look than that weird Dreams game. I don't understand how that mechanic will make games. You could probably make some very cool little short movies with it, but I'm curious to see how you manipulate the mechanics of the game.

So how does that game work now anyway, if there's no actual motion tracking? Is it just like you "dance" as well as you can to a music video and then decide what score you earned?

Advent Children was really dumb, turned Cloud into an emo babby when he wasn't supposed to be

Dirge of Cerberus controlled like poo poo and was really unfun, also had a lot of bad sequel tropes

Crisis Core was good afaik except for the badguy being literally just Gackt.

My current assumption is its more about creating "scenes" than games but you can give some objects an AI like in littlebigplanet and have interactions to make "games"

Advent Children was a terrible movie about Sephiroth coming back to fight Cloud again or something, Dirge of Cerberus was a lovely third-person shooter, and Crisis Core was an OK but forgettable PSP game. All three had needlessly convoluted plots relating to Sephiroth that actually made FF7 look worse in comparison.

He was extremely excited and passionate but the kind of super excited you see when you meet a random weirdo for the first time and accidentally trigger them to talk about what their favorite JRPG is, how great it is being a furry, and the virtues of playing for hours in Final Fantasy 14 by yourself. He was only a little nervous.

I really hope against hope that they don't use the Advent Children characterizations, if only by the virtue that it's technically sequel material and the characters aren't "that way" yet. The script needs to be completely rewritten, and some of the goofy things are going to be even goofier. Riding dolphins outside of Junon? Falling into a ghost train station after threatening castration? Barret randomly firing into the air like a crazy gently caress? Cid cursing all the god drat time? How is the reveal for Cloud as a pussy foot soldier going to be handled? Hojo trying to make Red breed with Aeris? It's easy to forget just how whacky FF7 was.
