You should be using all this extra time to play 'Final Fantasy VII Remake' | Daily Dot

The game’s neo-noir, Blade Runner-esque setting perfectly marries with its gritty but heartfelt tone. Despite the slightly off-putting differences in the character design, the aesthetic of the game is superb. Match the exquisite level design with seamless mechanics, addicting gameplay and rousing battles, and you have a recipe for perhaps one of the best games of the year.

Not extra time for those that are deemed essential. Fun game either way.

[rainslacker]

Some people staying home working are actually required to work while at home as well. It's not like they just sit at home playing games....or at least I'd imagine most employers aren't expecting that. The idea that this is a vacation where everyone has free time is probably why so many people think that paint and mulch are essential products, because apparently they can't go a week without getting cabin fever which apparently causes depression or something.

Currently on my second play through with Hard difficulty and thankful I knocked out all the mini game challenges 100% on my first play through. Them pull ups took like 8 tries against the last guy

[Babadook7]

Did you consult a guide? I decided I wouldn’t check a guide and so far haven’t. 8 tries only for the pull up trophy? That’s hard to believe. Took me well over an hour before getting it, and I’m good at those things in general.

[UnSelf]

Nah no guide at all. I’ve always been really good at mini games. Mario Party I was known for dominating on the GameCube and ppl used to drop their memory cards off at my house so I can beat the San Andreas Lowrider missions on ps2

[Babadook7]

@UnSelf. I’m impressed.

[smashman98]

thats impressive took me like 4 hours lol

[UnSelf]

The darts Challenge took longer than any other challenge 🎯

[Babadook7]

I did the darts in 2 or 3 tries to get the highest score.

[smashman98]

thanks to my experience with yakuza darts were super easy for me in this game.

[ninsigma]

Funny how different styles of games stump some but not others. Took me 3 tries to get number 1 on the darts but it was a fairly frustrating time to beat the pro level pull up game, with numerous close calls!

[BABI-PANGPANG]

Wait, are we talking about the thing with Honey Bee Dude? That mini game in which you are playing as Tifa? I had that thing on my first try haha

Now darts on the other hand.. xD

[ninsigma]

If you talk to the gym goers after that you unlock harder levels. The last level being the gym owner.

I just finally got my Deluxe edition earlier this week, so I plan to sit down and try to marathon through it in as few a days as possible. FFVII was a personal favorite of mine and I can't wait to relive part of the experience and see what they changed.

[smashman98]

legitimately this might be the best final fantasy game ever imho.

[Babadook7]

Could be right about that. The full series as a whole is going to be epic.

[Rapidfirepunches]

Better to play the real game on PS1. Remake is not a remake but a reimagining with poor combat, poor camera, and a ruined story and only like 1/10th of the game.

[smashman98]

Your opinion is valid and appreciated.

Is that what you want?

[Babadook7]

Especially cause you can play the original on your Xbox.

[Rapidfirepunches]

Why does it matter if its on Xbox? I'm playing on PS4 Pro. The original I rather play the PS1 game on a PS3.

[Chexs1990]

It's not "poor" combat just because you don't like it. The combat is well designed, even if it's not to your taste.

And Regarding the parts, I expect it to be 3-4 games at the most.
The rest of disc 1 in part 2, and the disc 2/3 in part 3.

[Spurg]

Completely understand your point of view. But the game does have its merits.
After the twist ending, I finally know why they didn't want to give us the full FF7 experience.

[rainslacker]

Yeah, people can do that as well. The remake is a remake of the midgar section of the game, and it has plenty of content to be considered it's own game.

[Rapidfirepunches]

Game regarded by many to be the best of all time reduced to herding cats side quests.

[Babadook7]

@above You mean 1 (4 min) quest where you find 3 cats? Isn’t the bigger problem that this isn’t on your Xbox?

[rainslacker]

I'm currently on chapter 8, and I've had 6 side quest made available to me so far. Only one involved cats.

It's possible to take a small thing from any game and say the whole game is like that, but it doesnt make it true.

[Games1st]

It is a remake. Definition of remake noun from the Oxford Advanced American Dictionary,
"A new or different version." It's obvious that you haven't play it.

[Chriswynnetbh]

By that logic it's also a reboot, same Oxford Advanced Learner definition

"to make something, especially a series of films or TV programmes, start again or become successful again"

See how dumb this argument sounds?

[FanboyPolice]

The real game must be played. Agreed.
Remake is not a remake. Disagreed.

[Neonridr]

Rapid is entitled to his/her opinion. Don't know why the Xbox comments are coming out of this. No doubt this game will be on PC/Xbox/Switch(?) after the exclusivity is up. Square Enix isn't going to pass up on extra sales.

Nothing wrong with being disappointed with how the game changed from the original. That being said, I look forward to playing the first part and fully understand that this isn't the entire game.

[andy85]

Don't agree with any of this. Try playing on hard it's actually amazing. Camera is great once you've altered the settings. And when you look into what the story actually means it's very inventive.

[whitbyfox]

I saw enough Aerith in Kingdom Hearts 3 thanks.

[Jls1]

nope still going to wait for the complete edition.If theres 3-4 parts thats $180 or $240 for the full game. Assuming they will charge $60 for every part. I can wait till ps5

[jznrpg]

I don’t have extra time . I work 60-70 hrs a week now so I wish I had extra time ! I’m not complaining as I know many people lost their jobs but I’m burned out

[TheGamez100]

Beat the remake and now back to p5r. Honestly just wanted to beat the game quick to avoid spoilers being everywhere on the internet, gameplay wasn't anything special for me to want to spend more time with it really. Will probably just wait for the pc version if I do go back to playing and 100% it.

[silenthillstrangler]

I will use this time to play the other games i have yet to finish then grab this when the hype has died down and it is cheap.

[philm87]

Wish I had extra time! Would be tempted to give this a go if I did, never played the original.
