Just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake. Square did an incredible job in realising Midgar and bringing these characters to life. You can tell that a lot of care went in to the game with how it stays true to the spirit of the original VII while ramping up the production values.

The ending sequence does scare me a little bit given Nomura’s tendency to fly off the rails at the expense of storytelling. I hope the writers have a story planned out for the sequels so the series doesn’t end up like Kingdom Hearts.

funny enough, apparently nomura was actually one of the people who wanted the story to be more faithful to the original game. can't find where i saw the specific article though, otherwise i'd link it.

The SD card in my 3DS just died along with my save files for SMT4, Devil Survivor, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 6

Praying for you

Just found kut i don't f*** with yakuza turn based fighting. Sotrys alright so far but having these rwndom encounters every 5 seconds and constantly draining my mp is horrible

you dont need to use MP moves that often tho plus there are restaurants everywhere

damn bro

The ending sequence just gives me Kingdom Hearts secret ending vibes where Nomura will come up with a flashy scene with striking imagery (e.g. Cloud and Sephiroth having a sword-fight in space), but will then struggle to actually write a story around the scene when it comes time to develop the game that it belongs to.

I don’t even want to talk down on Nomura too much because I actually do like him as a director. VII Remake is great and the original Kingdom Hearts is one of my favourite games. I think he has a lot of cool ideas, but his work from Kingdom Hearts II and onward reveals that he does not have a very strong grasp of narrative or character.

Legend of legaia
