Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Yeah I don't care if the remake changes some stuff, I just don't want the new stuff to be super super dumb.

I am (was? no, mostly still am) totally down for FFVIIr to have tweaks/changes/additions but I am not remotely interested in the same specific kind of nonsense that already infested the arse end of Kingdom Hearts leaking into FFVIIr.

FFVIIR ends with Cloud going back in time to save Aerith, but it has unknown and horrifying consequences on the universe.

Speaking of new things for the remake. while listening to Battle on the Big Bridge as I zoomed around in FFXV, I thought about how they added Gilgamesh to the FF1 remake.

I think it be cool for him to be a superboss in FFVII Part 8 or whatever.


Also FFVII has the best version of the Prelude ever. Listening to it again is like a mystical transporter back in time.

And I know FFXII's OST gets a resounding meh from a lot of folks on here but its version of the Prelude is so beautiful.

EDIT:

There are four disks of FFXI music and two Dissidia OSTs but no FFXIII-2 music? This is the game's greatest failure by far.

But seriously, he music of XV itself actually owns pretty hard. I don't see it get praised as much. At least with XIII everyone raved about the soundtrack no matter what else they

Agreed. FFXV has a great soundtrack and the fact you cannot listen to it on the in game MP3 player is frustrating.

Like, you people joke around and assume the best, but there hasn't been any speculation or design revealed from this game that differentiates itself from the rest of the Compilation we hate. It's going to suck, and you are actively in denial because Square-Enix is living rent free in your heads. You're just going to sit down, and drink your drat tea, and you're going to love it, because you have no will to persist into the future. Life's like a road that you travel on, it's one day here the next day gonegaga.

XII has a total loving killer soundtrack. gently caress nem haters.

My gripe with the XV soundtrack is the soundtracks are only choice cuts. I’d like the whole things please. I mean, cruising around with the Red Wings theme on repeat is the greatest thing ever but where’s my IV cave theme?

Also, no XV soundtrack is weird. I really like Sunset Waltz.

FFXII does indeed have a great OST. Not one of my favorites but this is Final Fantasy, not being top tier doesn't make you bad. It has a lot of good songs.

People hate the Great Crystal but To the Place of the Gods is an amazing,amazing track.

The localization in this game is fantastic but has anyone ever commented on why they changed her name from Cidney to Cindy? They must know the importance of Cid for the FF franchise. She's the first female Cid. I don't understand this pretty big and unnecessary change.

Nobody is really clear on why. Even in the credits her name is credited as "Cidney/Cindy."

There's some theory that "Cidney" seemed like too silly a name but, y'know, Sidney is an actual name so :shrug: (Also it's a game where the main characters are named poo poo like Sword Friendship)

Also I have found the nw actual best song in FFXV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-PCWC6dQL8

I'm gonna get that goddam fish. I spent forever and only got it down to a little less than half before the line snapped.

Might help if i got a better rod. I gotta get the Devil fish first. Of course I had no idea that the drat thing had no minimap marker. So not only do yout not know where it is or when it comes out you also don't know what lure to use. I don't feel bad about looking all that up.

I'm sure there are some brave, insane souls who have caught every fish in this game without using a guide but gently caress me, I like fishing and this game but I don't have time for all that.

edit:

Just want to issue an apology to FFXV. It was the guides that suck, not the game. They gave me all the wrongest info possible. I should have just looked at YT first. He does have a marker and the spot to fish for him is the first fishing area in the game, not the Shoals off to the left. Goddam.

Also I've been fishing wrong all game. I thought you only pressed down on the joystick when the arrows were on screen. That made all this so much ahrer than it needed to be. I'm dumb, what else is new.

I am so excited for this excellent and good video game to come out and blow everyone’s tits off. I remain completely dumbfounded how anyone could think that this game could be anything but fantastic, and would like to remind everyone that FF7R is going to be, no joke, the best game that comes out in 2020.

FF7R is a masterful deception on par with the MGS2 Raiden bait-and-switch, and the main character is Denzel.
