I'm going to borrow a friends PS4 and buy this game to play on it. Does that work? Can we still throw a game into a console and play them? Or do I need his account login credentials and the game gets locked so his account? I haven't owned a console since the Dreamcast.

Biggs reminds me way too much of Charlie Sheen from Hot Shots 2. Also what's the timeline to finish this story if a full game gets us like 10% of the original FF7? Is the next release going to be in 3 years and get us to Juno?

I guess I haven't played jrpgs for a while but I find the storytelling a bit heavy handed at times. Like you can have Heidegger be dismissive of troop losses without him doing a drawn out monologue of how little the troops mean to him.

Sadly not feeling this game at the moment. Which is a shame considering how long I've wanted it to become a reality. The combat is kind of a mess and I don't even feel like wasting MP on attack spells when MP sees better spent on cures and then fighting with abilities.

Maybe I'm just more of a turn based player at heart. I found many boss fights to be pretty alright. When I die it's mainly to some random stuff like 2 missile turrets who synch up a missile volley and one shot Cloud

Crispin Freeman used his Alucard voice for Rude in advent of children so I was disappointed to see they didn't use him for that in the remake. Though I think I heard the Alucard voice from Shinra soldiers every now and then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Di6Ew-0G8w Also John Dimaggio bringing his smiling Jack voice for Heidegger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aa8B7hIynE

I bought a PS4 just for this game and I lost interest about after the church scene. It has the characters of FF7 and the story is vaguely in that direction but this game pushes none of the buttons that made me love that original game.

I also felt the Reno scene was kind of odd. In the original game you fight him with 3 people and it's a struggle at that and you don't even really beat him. In the remake. Cloud demonstrably beats the poo poo out of Reno all alone during their first encounter with little effort and so Reno and the turks look like of weak.

Sapozhnik posted:What would you consider to be a fun FFVIIR? Genuinely curious here, the thread is more interesting when it isn't just everybody agreeing with each other about the things in the game that they like Turn based combat system. A materia system closer to the original. Battles more organized and not such clusterfucks of flailing limbs and flying rockets.

Maybe it's because I haven't played a Final Fantasy game since 8 and I hated 8 for not being as good as 7

What was your favorite part about 8? Watching those GF animations ten thousand times or being limited to basic attacks because all the good spells were needed for junctions.

Zarin posted:This post legit makes me sad, I'm sorry I started with the normal difficulty which lasted up until rocket turrets started combo hitting characters for 100% of their HP in 1 second out of nowhere. I switched to easy which turned the game into a lets play of FF7R but where you had to mash buttons to progress.

Also that thing where I build stagger on a boss and I'm like "Once I reach max stagger I'm going to blow all cooldowns to kick your rear end" Then you reach max stagger and the boss is like "lol next phase" and instantly sets the stagger bar back to zero.

Captain Invictus posted:in most cases that's intentional, the stagger gauge on some bosses is basically the next phase trigger A-yupp-yupp. Sucks for me though because I intentionally held all my strongest stuff back while meticulously working that stagger bar. It's like Skies of Arcadia when you set up all your torpedoes, turrets and cannons to all hit in the vulnerable phase together with an attack-up buff on. Granted Skies of Arcadia had a different issue that each ship had a super weapon that one shotted enemy ships after a few turns and so you mostly waited for it to be ready to instantly blow up the enemy. The alternative was hitting the enemy with guns and torpedoes for 6 turns and then watch the super weapon unlock at 10% HP.
