Bro. The exploration area in the preview was insane. So much s*** to do in it. It looked gorgeous, was expansive, your movement wasn't limited. Maaaaaaaaan.

Absolutely loved Wall Market in FF7R, favorite part of that game.

Is there anything like it or better further in the OG game? Is that Gold Saucer?

Did all of the budget go to this instead of FF16

Gold Saucer will be leaps and leaps above Wall Market in that regard like it’s not even close.

They didn't have to go this hard bruh

You are not ready

This game just looks better designed ngl. I don’t think the budget is bigger though. XVI has better graphics and the Eikon fights in FFXVI are almost definitely gonna be of greater spectacle than anything here

I’d trade that spectacle for this game’s engaging side content and party dynamics in a heartbeat, though

The image quailty and performance in 16 is so bad that it cancels out any perceivable graphical gains, this game looks sharp af and runs well so you're probably right on it being better designed. The Eikon fights are cool but too on rails for me

Well it makes sense look at the resume of the directors on this compared to Yoshi P who’s been the genius behind the ff mmo

That was his first real bout on anything non mmo related, whereas these remakes had nomura(only on remake) + toriyama + hamaguchi

Not to knock yoshi p he has plenty of potential for single player if he makes another, but 16 clearly had areas that show inexperience or need improvement.

It’s also harder to duck up on what is a classic title compared to starting from scratch

synergy attax are insane

they did. its FF7.

Gonne be real the open world making be ugh cause im a boomer and liked how linear ff7r was LMFAO

It’s so refreshing to see square go above and beyond for a project

I loved ff16 but they really cooked with this one

I mean it's basically the same as the OG game was. You can play it linearly no problem.

Nomura explained that he's working the same exact role on Rebirth that he worked on Remake.

? The image quality in quality mode was great.

I do not agree

the detail on this is insane. You telling me this all hand crafted?

The forced motion blur was not good, already beat it by the time the patch came out

What 4+ years of being able to use previously created assets will allow

Hope the character banter is fun while roaming. Excited to see what other types of small moments he means
