I give them some credit since they really do seem to try to shuffle around their casts a lot. A lot of dubs reuse the same handful of voices a lot which is generally unavoidable but Square with all their money and resources bring in a lot of new or lesser known talent. You are more of ten than not going to hear familiar voices doing minor roles.

This is kinda nonsense, japan reuses talent just as much. I never understood this complaint.

I don't want a remake of IX that makes it weird, but I'd also like a remake of IX that gave Freya more screentime and fixed the translation issues. :ohdear:

What translation issues? IX is generally regarded as one of the best-localized FF games, as far as I know.

I think the plot got across fine. There's just a number of mistranslations when it comes to names:

- Hill Gigas becoming Hilgigars.
- Dahaka becoming Taharka.
- Shinryu becoming Nova Dragon.
- Marilith becoming Maliris.
- Skystone becoming Pumice.

And so on.

I wouldn't know since I don't listen to the Japanese versions except in VNs.

Just going off all I've heard over the years English voice-acting is a rather thankless job and only the most committed people really make a carer out of it.

An Ogre Battle remake would be amazing, but I think everyone involved in the Tactics Ogre remake and remaining Quest guys have been devoured by the FFXIV machine.

gently caress yeah, got beta from the snake at ~lvl 20. Feels like the game only really starts once you leave Midgar. I'm really curious to see how they expand it. Will it be more story added into a linear structure or will Midgar be more of an open world that you can explore, with all the familiar story beats gated so that they're still experienced in the right order?

I suspect a bit of both. Maybe they'll expand some of the other sectors, add in some side quests like FF15. I think they'll move some of the story dump in Kalm forward to Midgar. It also looks like some of the game length will be in the fact that you can't escape battles - from demo footage doesn't look like you can use ladders or open doors in battle, so they can add in enemies to set the pace and stop people rushing past enemies. No idea if the game will "open up" and allow you to avoid non-boss fights entirely later.

Also, it's interesting that you get Ifrit much earlier but if Midgar is really going to be a full-length game, it makes sense to get 1 or 2. Also don't know if save games will actually transfer between games or you just get a new base save.

How does the game work anyway - are the parts going to be their own games or can you go back to all the previous locations and quests?

In other words, are we just "buying each disc"?

It's okay. One of them will almost certainly get delayed too.

I've been expecting Cyberpunk to be pushed back till the Christmas window basically since the date was announced. Think how many delays Witcher 3 had.

In fact, it's such a short delay I think it's quite possible that the main reason for it is not to add extra polish (but of course that's a bonus), but to push it into the next fiscal quarter.

Isn't that usually the opposite of what companies want to do? Though I guess if Square are a bit short of games in that quarter/fiscal year, it makes sense.

Avengers got hit with a significant 4-month delay that slapped it from May 15th to September 4th. They're both SE games, so it's quite possible they pushed 7R later to accommodate that loss. If 7R had like, a two-three month delay then yeah I could buy into some rough edges that need to be fixed, but a month? That doesn't seem likely.

Probably not the case, but I do wonder if all the leaks gave them an opportunity to gauge some early reactions and made them decide to make some tweaks.
