I wish I knew what an FF game felt like.

I know you probably aren't being very serious but as I'm sure you're aware, "not feeling like an FF game" was a criticism heaped upon the last couple titles.

It's like some people came away with the same feeling in FFV as they did in FFVII.

I was thinking about this and honestly I think it's the music that makes a final fantasy game and perhaps nothing other than that

my comment regarding music in final fantasy games was directed at the quality and effectiveness of the musical score to compliment and enhance the emotional connection of the viewer to the action on the screen. Final fantasy games have traditionally used music in this manner to tremendous effect not unlike youd expect from a.john Williams score in a film for example

But this fills me with the opposite of confidence, because that sure as hell doesn't look anything like the original game's mechanics, and if they aren't even trying to be faithful to that what's the goddamn point.

You could always play, yknow, the original if you wanted something faithful to the original

I played ff3 on the ds and thought it was cool and good and got all the way to the end and died fighting a boss in the final dungeon and when it i found myself back at the start of the dungeon I put it down and never played it again

But it was cool and good up til that point

XV was so insanely easy that it was literally impossible to die so none of the fights had any sense of urgency or danger so they just became boring slogs since the outcome was inevitable

Isn't he the guy that played 90 hours and went "Guys, I don't think this is for me"

I finished the game at 47 hours, although a not insignificant portion of that time was spent with the game paused while I was making and having dinner. 😰

Idk i didn't really like 13 when it first came out but I played it as far as I could until I hit a brick wall

I tried playing it again a couple years ago after having "got" the battle system but every fight was still a boring repetitive slog and I was running from most encounters until my ps3 died and saved me the trouble of playing the game further

It's a sign that it would be a fun game that doesn't take itself too seriously, yeah. You probably also didn't like when the cast posed for pictures.

How many women do you know that look favourably on Cindy's portrayal in the game?

But you're right, I didn't like when the cast posed for pictures because I didn't like any of the cast. But that doesn't have anything to do with the embarrassment that is Cindy; the game literally gives you no reason to like any of the cast.

It sounds like you just don't like final fantasies, maybe you should try a game more your speed like call of battlehalo

I like final fantasy very much I just can't say I'm much of a fan of the direction the franchise has been heading since the past two instalments

I can't really fault 13 for its battle system. I think 13 is a fine game but for whatever reason I didn't find anything it offered particularly compelling. For what 13 does it does competently and without any of the glaring flaws that 15 has

I think making FF7R an action rpg is definitely the way to go, just as long as the combat doesn't have much to do with the horrible mess that was FFXV's combat

For it to work at all I think they need to sort out the problem of how you meaningfully control multiple party members in an action rpg. FFXV fails miserably at this. FFXII works, but only just, and only by way of covering up the problem rather than solving it

When it comes to re-translations. When people re-translate games like FF7 I feel what A Star Wars fan must feel whenever Lucas adds more CGI to the original trilogy. Yeah FF7 was awkward but you come to expect certain lines at certain points and them not being there makes things feel less magical.

This isn't even anywhere close to being an accurate analogy

I do. Nobody has actually explained "how does this guy look like Mr T" despite getting heated and angry about how he looks exacty like Mr T. It should be a fairly simple explanation and instead I get told that apparently Barret has a mohawk.

It's also worth noting that when they remade Barret in a more realistic style we got

Well idk about any of that but 12 year old me didn't know the names of all these "other prominent black celebrities of the time" so I definitely renamed Barret 'Mr. T' on my first playthrough after watching my mate play the game despite to this day having never seen an episode of The A-Team
