Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:Iirc the latest trailer literally intros the crossdressing bit by having a character look into the camera and more or less say "being pretty is Good As Hell, no matter what junk is in your trunk," so I imagine that they are at least trying I had faith they were going to keep the part where Cloud's recognized as the hottest girl of the group. I'm more wondering how they're going to handle his mental breakdown later in the game. I'm pretty sure he loses it and starts punching Aeris/th at one point but I don't remember when I'm the game that was exactly.

It happens well before that part. She's well and truly dead for the better part of a disc by that point. They turn the temple into the BM and seph messes with cloud to give it to him. Aerith tries to stop him and he goes nuts.

yeah, the entire Castle Super Beast discussion about EVERYTHING that happens in FF7(there's a lot more than you remember, guaranteed) touched on that, do you really get in there and show him just loving bludgeoning aerith in that scene or hide it in shadow somehow? edit: this is literally over 30 minutes of them just remembering more and more and more bullshit that happens in ff7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXSD04XALY4&hd=1 Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Mar 5, 2020 |

My guess is they'll probably change it to a choke, it seems to be media's "acceptable" form of violence against women. Or maybe Nomura will just go all in and show the whole thing, they've proven they're not afraid of changing things but they might want to retain the shock value of the moment.

Like, forget punching Aeris, the scene at the glacier is ambiguous enough to imply that it was Cloud who summoned Meteor.

Ghostlight posted:It's after Sephiroth controls him to hand over the black materia - I think the game already communicates fairly well that it's not Cloud doing it by displaying his consciousness separately during the sequence, it's just a matter of how they handle displaying the physical act of violence in modern high definition. The original masks it by having crude graphics displayed at the bottom of a pit the camera is set to look down into and if it weren't for the hitting sounds you'd probably be left completely in the dark about what even happened. Ah shoot, I remembered that they were there for the Black Materia when ACES CURE PLANES mentioned Temple of the Ancients but I forgot that was Sephiroth controlling him to hand it over and attacking her. Schwarzwald posted:For being such a pivotal RPG in there's a ton of poo poo about the game that was either forgotten or just overlooked. I'm fairly certain there's a part in Midgar where you're riding dolphins to leap over power lines or something? Haven't thought about FF7's story in a while. FF6 on the other hand I remember the gently caress out of. I hope with how much money they're throwing at thing that they can get good assistance for developing/designing the minigames.

I hope they change it so that the Sector 7 disaster is the fault Shinra directly. It's bizarre as hell how the Turks are let off the hook for the tragedy which is eventually forgotten about. "Hey man I'm not sorry I slaughtered your entire family in a hit. I was paid to do it. You wanna go bowling?"

You wanna go bowling?" it’s the compilation that made the Turks goofy, the original game at best kept them at the level of black comedy. they’re workaday salaryman types who commit war crimes as a day job, that’s the joke iirc you only get the option to let them go at the end if you completed the wutai quest and built up a rapport with them, and even then it’s not so much letting them off the hook as both parties deciding they’ve got bigger things to deal with

Heck, remember the scene when he jumps onto the train? She's depressed that he might be gone, and when he shows up, she's super relieved and then cleans up his face for him before going over the security system. She screwed up his security card for the train specifically because she was trying to make it cool and special for him.

When reading about the demo I saw a linked article that suggested the Honey Bee Inn has been completely rewritten due to the controversies of the original. Whether that's true or hearsay, who's to say, but if you want to see Cloud being railed by burly men you don't have to wait for the remake when fanart exists.

I’ve heard anecdotes over the years suggesting Wall Market is more-or-less accurate to the Tokyo gay scene circa 1990, although I’ve never been able to find confirmation or a deep dive about it. So honestly it’d be pretty cool if they simply tweaked it to be accurate to the Tokyo scene of the mid-2010s

Yeah, really it just seems to be something they embellished with the background banter they’ve thrown in. Heck, I’m also half-sure that Jessie asking Cloud if her and Tifa are close was in the PS1 version.

Resident Evil 2 was the perfect game to remake because it's a Die Hard: It's set in a handful of locations, a small cast of character, and a campaign that's no longer than 8 hours but encourages replay. Honestly I wish there was Resident Evil style-game aimed at a younger audience. Replace the zombies with ghosts, the zombies with a camera, take out the boss-fights, keep the map-clearing, and layer as much horrific subtext as you can get away with in a Teen rating. I'm sure the above has been done already, but I'm talking about it with a third-person camera, non-lovely combat, and non-tedious item-mangaement. I did enjoy the Scary Tales to Tell in Dark movie because it was horror aimed at a younger audience without compromising on it's grotesque gore. It also wasn't six hours long like the IT movies.

The FF VII remake has me cautiously optimistic. I just hope they do Cloud as the (fake) snarky badass and not the emo poo poo he became in the expanded lore, and aeris as the sweet but tough slums girl and not the meek avatar of purity that also somehow happened. Also, it may have been because I watched Woolie's play of the demo, but the boss fight felt like a bit of a slog. It had what, 5 different stages? Don't know if he was failing at it, if the bosses are overlong battles, or even if they added some HP in the demo to pad the epic part a bit.

SGF has FFVII Remake video as well and it took him about 9 minutes to take the boss down. Just scanning through Woolie's video without really watching, it looks like it took him about 15 minutes but I can see at least some of that comes from being in the menus as they talk about mechanics. Even 9 minutes seems a bit of a slog for an action boss though.

Yeah, the boss felt really long, probably took me around 10 minutes on my first run, but I think that's, in part, to push players into figuring out the actual combat mechanics, managing action points, using magic, using items, and all that. I tried it a second time on Classic (which sets HP and damage to Easy) and blew through phases fast enough that the transition animations got wonky. I personally lost a ton of time to hitting the shield generator from the wrong direction and/or having trouble locking on to it for basic attacks. It might just have been my hands trying to default to Dark Souls controls, but target selection definitely didn't feel quite right. On the whole I'm still a bit lukewarm on the combat just because micromanagement on Normal felt a bit messy, but on Classic combat as a whole was just way too easy, with opponents folding over if you so much as glance in their direction with a special move.
