There's thousands of Twitter users and three gamers really excited for this.

This will make the Tater Tots and all the sweaty basement dwellers have a melt-down.

I can hear the collective "REEEEEE" building.

No, I just won't purchase it or allow my son to purchase it, other than that it won't effect me in anyway. Stop trying to force negative discourse where there isn't any.

I was already planning on passing on this game, this just makes it that much easier.

This is fucking weird NGL not least because the game is set in a fantasy world with magic very prevalent..... As if people couldn't just drink a potion or cast a spell and literally be the opposite sex. Makes no sense.

Still just wanted the original game with much improved visuals lol.

Yeah…same

When we wanted a remake, it was just a remake, what they give us was an over ambitious massive budget styled game split into three parts with a new storyline of a multiversal, split timeline narrative to justify changes.

They are good games but we never asked for that.

Just the original with improved graphics, visuals, voice acting and maybe some expanded upon areas. That’s it.

Hopefully a IX, VIII and VI remake will be simpler.

It’s funny because if they just did a straight up remake they could have altered the ending a little to set up more games rather than splitting up the remake into multiple parts to stretch out the story. Having VII-2 and VII-3 would have been a lot better as it would have expanded the story in a better way.

me too however, i have played the og more than 20 30 times, im glad we got something fresh

i wish sqaure would have given us an option for atb turn based combat tho.

You kind of have one. You can set that cloud attacks automatically, and you can just focus on issuing commands.

I love these two games, and no disrespect for the original which I played on my PS1 and several times since then, I would much rather play the remakes. The game play is just so much fun and the characters just have so much more life and personality plus it has the modern sensibilities that are hard to give up.

It's a shame that they haven't found the success SE wanted, and while people of course want to blame PlayStation I feel like Final Fantasy just doesn't have the effect it used to. Younger people have zero attachment to the series and have zero nostalgia.

And I still think that PlayStation will be the best selling platform by a long shot, FF16 on steam even at $50 isn't selling nearly as well as it did on PS5 where it sold 3.5 million in its first week. Looking at the numbers on Steam if the game has sold 1 million so far I'd be surprised.

Thats SE’s fault for not adapting their story telling in a way that resonates with todays times. They attempted with FF16 but too little too late esp with boring game mechanics.

gold_drake1h ago

the issue is exactly what u said, final fantasy doesnt have the oomph it once had.

but why? cause it takes them so long between games.

16 was or could have been a great way forward, but the combat unfortunately, outside of boss battles, wasnt all too goodish

It was everything I wanted from it to be honest. And part 3 will expand on that with airship travel. Hope Switch 2 is powerful enough for it, because that's where the sales are in Japan. It deserves success with the love that went into it.

Scissorman9h ago

I think over time, this endeavor will be worth the investment. Part 3 will release, along with the inevitable bundling of all three games on other consoles. I do think it's a mistake to not offer DLC this time around like with Intergrade, that would have been a nice additional revenue stream for SE.

enkiduxiv9h ago

The remake project is so frustrating. For everything they get right, they get something wrong, at least in opinion. I am ultimately glad I stuck with and played both games, but I can totally understand fans who bailed after all the horrible changes they have made to the original story. Still hope we see the combat director for remake give us his own take on the franchise in the future. Also really hope Nomura and Kitase retire after this project is over. They are way past their prime.
