If broke any rules and/or you feel a warning status is justified, just do it. I stand by everything I've said.

Its not what you say its how you say it. But fine. I will keep that in mind next time i was considering a warning
 
I'm 20 something hours in, so far the remake is in my opinion great, story arc hasn't changed much so far, has been an enjoyable experience

Gameplay, early game is pretty well square to win until specific encounters, the further in you get the less viable it gets, like you definitely need to use magic and build stagger to have any success getting wiped by basic mobs is a new experience, but is more of an inconvenience due to the rez pre-failed battle and saving anywhere, each character plays very different and have a specific archetype in mind, overall I feel its definitely a RPG game over an action game.while being a tad linear so far it feels pretty open

Story wise the changes I've ran into have come into a 3 categories, filling out plot points which the majority have been handles well, the watchmen of fate ass-pulls that really could of been left out and it would of improved my experience and character building moments which overall haven't been bad, disagreeable to some but not underlyingly bad.
 
Video is fully in italian but here's some more quotes:


  • Don't want FF7 Re-connect nor FF7 0.2
  • I'd be ok if a flashback from a certain library lasted 5 hours instead of 10 minutes, but WITHOUT (emphasis) wings popping from anywhere, petals, feathers, chains and crosses
  • If they start adding stuff from Dirge of Cerberus or Advent Children you'll se me on the newspapers. Japanese ones.
  • Answer to above: No. It can't be. They must not dare.
  • But it there's a risk cause we know who's behind it.
  • Can't wait for when we'll redo this live "after". I have a feeling Aligi (one of the trio) will be on a transoceanic flight to Japan. (laughter ensues)
  • Aligi answers: if i can't due to the quarantine i'll swim to Japan
  • Compilation is a bastardization of the original.
  • I'm worried about seeing too much forced, "thrown to your face" foreshadowing.
 
The foreshadowing bit is definitely true. Even the intro has foreshadowing.
 
Its not what you say its how you say it.

Really? So let us take this gem:

I mean, we got socially awkward, on the spectrum, basement virgins debating if Aerith is innocent or slutty... WTF!

And sure, Sephiroth is a transgender super soldier far less manly than y'all. You extremely macho folks.  :roll:

This thread is a hilarious pool of tears. And the salt... Oh my. I love it.

Stay triggered my friends, stay triggered.

Suppose I had responded: "I imagine the sense of humor varies. Personally I find it hilarious that a eunuch frog in a cape, that does not even rise to the indignity of being a basement wanker, is triggered by watching others getting triggered." The problem would be the tone or the content?

Look, I have no problems with insults flying and exploding everywhere. I have been in forums where it is a real jungle, and I dished it as much as I took. I am a big boy, so it is no skin off my back. At the same time -- and this is a purely personal reflection -- I am trying to tone down my natural aggressiveness to better reflect what I actually believe in, but let's not paper over it calling it "the way you said" when of course there were real insults.

If that's the best you could come up with, I would not be offended, just amused. You tried way too hard and missed all the marks. Unless, of course, you just wanted to offend the Android mascot for the sake of it.

Oh well. We all love a trier eh. Please do better though.

Cool flex boy. Highly intimidating.

Yeah, boy. It's all that testosterone in you. You big, bad, mean, agressive boy. "ME HULK ME SMASH"  :roll:  :roll:

I swear I'm trying to be nicer.

My Lord. They made Jessie THIRSTY in this remake. She's borderline sexually harassing Cloud. LOL

I'm on chapter 9, 15 hours in and loving it, even the changes I've seen so far. A few of the music tracks are interesting remixes, like the Ska/hip hop mix at the start of chapter 9.
 
Anyone else disappointed in the Remake after having played it?  Made it to Chapter 9, and I'm already down playing.

It is hard to disagree with you here, and yet, for all its poorness, it is still infinitely wittier than your puerile schoolyard taunting.

Some of the new tracks are pretty meh. I'm in love with the combat system though. And damn, I'm still on chapter 4, 8 hours in.
 
Yes, ignore me like the guy that has replied to me like 6 times in this thread does. Hopefully at least I don't give you anxiety like I do to him and don't make you private message people to vent and report posts.

And yes, I'm absolutely on a crusade to defend something I gain absolutely nothing by defending.  :roll: Compare my number of posts about it to yours and do tell who's on a crusade. Shite. I even just criticized some of the soundtrack right before you decided to showcase your spectacular IQ. My previous post was also a criticism on Jessie's character.

Normal people don't go on crusades defending/bashing pieces of software that cost 50 bucks. Not that you would know anything about being normal.

I'm done with you both. Lay your silly baits to rest and I'll lay my mockery of you to rest as well.

Did you not read what I said? Its called a warning. Its like you didnt even read the post i sent him before. But feel free to criticise my moderation. I have thicker skin than you do and can guarantee I will be around longer.
 
I'm with a lot of other people here in saying that the story changes are making me scratch my head, particularly the stuff with Sephiroth and the ghosts. But I'm enjoying the actual game quite a bit. Combat is very fun. Even just walking around the slums and doing quests was kinda cool. I'm only on chapter 4 so I'm looking forward to what comes next.
 
Post deleted by me -- nothing interesting in it.

33hrs in and still learning the combat system, they have done an amazing job at timing the roll out of new mechanics.

Only criticisms so far are, mostly minor, -map loading on older hardware isn't always smooth, -watchmen of fate(they add nothing so far), -/+ weapon upgrade flavours need better variety and tradeoffs.

So far the only gameplay issue I have had is that there is no penalty for poor weapon builds, 100gil to clear upgrades and start again removes the weight of choosing what to select, they could of made it so selecting a +atkp locks out a +matkp so the building process was strategic or put a tighter limit on sp, at the moment it's just stack add socket, then +atkp or +matkp then +HP, as at the moment +D,+SD,+MD are trash on normal could get amazing on hard, but on normal dps outweighs everything else.

Fury is still beast, spectral cogwheel and transference module are amazing trinkets, and good lord limits are useful as all hell as a oh crap button, just kinda bummed you don't get to see them super often
