They can put as much of that weird stuff into the game as they want, I just wish it had more accompanying exposition so we don't have to deal with rampant speculation for two years.

I at least hope they answer our current questions and just raise new ones to speculate on in the next installment.

I loving wish KH3 had half as much fun bullshit as people make it sound. KH3 was mostly interminably boring with a few bright spots

Kitase seems to have made it clear that people going "WHAT THE gently caress?!" Over the ending was their intended goal and he's happy to see it.

I just want a nice grounded final fantasy like they used to make. You know, where you are a ghost dream and you solve your dad problems by going into your dad whale's anus after singing him a lullaby.

Finished the game last night. What a fantastic, fascinating experience. Felt the same joy playing this as I did playing through Death Stranding and the MSQ for FFXIV Shadowbringers. I was just so pumped to see what was going to come next and I cannot wait for Part 2. Post game speculation: Guessing we'll be seeing Yuffie fairly early, and possibly Cid as well since the rocket program was brought a few times in the later parts of the game?

The rampant speculation and off the wall theorizing phase is like the best time to be a fan of something.

No offense, but do you actually remember FF games? Cuz more than half the game has you kill the personification of death, oblivion, fate, time, etc... It's seriously baked into the games.

He gave me a kind of ehhhhhh answer and when I said I'd probably play it high he rambled a bit until he just went "nah don't get it" My main issue is how do you make a game where Daffy and Goofy lay smackdowns on budget Sephiroths that isn't a good high play smdh

Like it just plops you into a room you don't need any backstory for them and they kick your rear end, it's a lot of fun!

Final Fantasy I being about time travel and having a space station full of warmechs makes a lot of sense if you look at what Western CRPGs were doing at the time, because there's a lot of that poo poo in games that at first glance look like your standard sword & board fantasy settings. Ultima I has you fly to space and do battle with TIE fighters, Ultima II has you travel through both time and space, Wizardry gives you a spaceship in VI, Might & Magic I goes full scifi towards the end and II is literally called "Gates to Another World", and so on (also I just realized that Ultima is an isekai, gently caress)

What‘s fun about the ending discourse is that the developers knew exactly what the response was gonna be which is why the final line of the game is ”I miss the steel sky” we are all just puppets dancing on nomura and nojima’s strings

Isn't Barret's VA also a huge Final Fantasy fan? Or was that just speculation?

Yes, new FF7, but have you considered, old FF7? My FF7, and not other FF7? The only true FF7. Buy my book, about how I am the one who is right about FF7, which is the FF7 I like, and not anyone else's FF7. Why can't you be like the real FF7? My FF7. Bitch.

This reminds me how much I loved Reno's "Nothing personal...bitch" line and Cloud's "Bring it on, bitch" line at the end of the game.

All of this VA talk is reminding me of that super weird fan petition to get the original AC cast back together instead and that "square ruined ff7" being the big rallying cry before the game even came out. in short gamers are dumb

Even if that was totally made up I still believe it, simply because his delivery is 100% how someone who played the game 22 years ago would imagine Barret sounded like. He guest starred on Briana White aka StrangeRebelGaming's channel a few months ago to play through some of the opening chapters of the original FFVII. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7kwJgKW9wg

The only time in the entire game I have reduced the difficulty to Easy was to get the bike game trophy because I got tired of replaying an 8 minute long section just to have Jessie poo poo talk my driving again.   Also I stumbled across a thing that I wasn't aware of: if you're in a cutscene that transitions directly into a fight, holding down square will cause the menu to open up after the cutscene so you can adjust equipment before the fight starts.

Oh that's awesome, and I totally want to believe that as well. The cast is fantastic. EDIT: Watching the video and Bentley immediately starts pointing out the lighting and shadow effects of the opening FMV, so yeah, he's totally a fan lmao PunkBoy fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Okay, thread. It's fine. It's fine. I will pay sixty dollars for a remake of one quarter of a videogame. You've activated enough FOMO that I am going to do this thing. (also the demo helped)

An old friend of mine, a giant fan of the original, won't touch this game with a 10 foot pole until the full thing is released. Hope he's okay waiting 10+ more years for that. This is a great game with a solid playtime attached to it so I just think he's being arbitrarily obstinate.
