I've shat my pants over all the things I didn't like in Part 1 enough, to the annoyance in my thread. But, to add to your fake part, one thing I didn't like was how 'sterilized' the slums were. Yeah it looked like a dump, but they absolutely failed to make it look as dangerous or slimy as the original game. Wall Market was made out to be more of a tourist trap and less of a red light district.
you articulated exactly what I was trying to explain to my woman without being able to about what I didn't like about Remake when I finished it a few months ago. for everything it added, I felt it lacked something. and this is what it was. she could not fathom how for 2 weeks I did nothing but play a game then proclaimed it sucked after I did everything but besides the story changes, which I cannot fathom how anyone on the fucking planet could enjoy the kingdom hearts faggotry they introduced, and the slow ass pace with forced walk and talk and slow ass maneuvers padding it out, it did a good job of making the world feel bigger and lived in which is my biggest positive about the game but also felt like it was lacking something in that, and I think this specifically was it. it didn't feel as gritty or "low" as I think I would have liked. it felt like a shithole but not THE shithole. actually to rephrase that it LOOKED like a shithole, it didn't FEEL like a shithole.
The thing is, I played ff7 a decade ago and the entire Midgard part was like 4 hours that I only remember a few things from. But the game seems hellbent on making memberberries on multiple points only die hard fans that replayed 7 multiple times remember.
Yep. From what I remember of the Crisis Core thing I played on PC as well as the Yuffie DLC there was a nasty arms race between Wutai and Shinra during the war that saw various tamed monsters and stompy robots get deployed, and that the SOLDIERS were part of that as a super-soldier initiative. IIRC it was also the first time materia got deployed as combat weapons.
It would make for an interesting subject. Definitely would be better than the tourist trap that Wutai was in the original. I still have no faith in their expanded writing ability.
Ok c’mon, that’s a massive exaggeration. She had thigh highs on in the remake and that’s it. There’s no way that’s comparable to a burkha.
So she's got a sports bra on big deal. The orbs are still huge lol
Yuffie mentioned something about her father getting arrested, I don't remember if that was in the original or not but they must have new leadership. Shinra certainly hyped wutai as an actual threat way more in the remake then when they were non-existent in the original. That combined with the new mystery emissary they sent to Rufus, I think they are gonna be a much bigger deal.
I can only answer for Remake as I haven't tried the Rebirth demo, but I think it works. In combat the low amount of ATB bars encourages you to use special abilities and items constantly in fights, and being able to dodge/guard attacks means I actually use it instead of flat out attacking in traditional turn-based combat. Only thing that really sucks is if you're unfortunate enough to get interrupted, you lose whatever you're doing and the ATB bar(s).
Depends on your taste in gameplay. It’s a mix of both turn based and real time combat, so it can appeal to both sides of the spectrum. I find it fun. Some may not like it because it’s not fully turn based, some may not like it because it’s not completely real time, some may like the mix. I’d just watch gameplay videos or try the demos to these games.
Rebirth is better, but it's still pretty decent. I wanted something more like kh but if you play on easy and don't want to pause and strategize that's perfectly viable. In the original though I thought there was a real lack of basic attack moves for cloud. Rebirth fixes hat, honestly it was a little overwhelming how many attack options I could pick and choose for rebirth
