So why waste all that plastic and paper? :/

Magog1080d ago

It's 2021. Let's all try not to he offended by Digital downloads. This may have been a shocker a decade ago but now it's pat for the course.

I_am_Batman1080d ago

I don't care if it's 2021 or 2075. It's a physical release and as such should contain the full game. Otherwise what's the point of releasing the game in physical form at all?

There are multiple reasons, why I prefer physical. The main reason is that I want to be minimally dependent on external infrastructures, but on top of that I also have a slow internet connection, so having to download part of a game or big day 1 patches is always annoying.

Magog1080d ago

Not to be pedantic but you're buying Integrade which is on the disc. The Yuffie DLC is a bonus.

Pyrofire951080d ago

The statagy here is InterMISSION comes with new copies but if the game is ever resold the buyer will have to buy the DLC from Square.
It's actually a pretty solid strategy to still make money from resold games.

I_am_Batman1080d ago

"Not to be pedantic but you're buying Integrade which is on the disc. The Yuffie DLC is a bonus. "

I could see that argument if they weren't reprinting the game while advertising it with the dlc content. There is no reason why they couldn't just put it on a disc and sell the complete package. Considering the new content is digital only and there is a free upgrade path for the PS4 version, I don't see why anyone would pay full price for this.

Even Batman cannot stop the Joker from releasing DLC on the market

BrockEmSockEm1080d ago

"Hmm. I agree as well, shallow and pedantic." https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Viking_mo1080d ago

So its DLC and they're making us charge an additional 70 for it? Jesus, just when you think it couldn't get worse

RosweeSon1080d ago

And this is just got part 1 😑 people are happy with 3 games and GOTY editions tho for 1 game. I’ll wait for the complete collection 😑🤣✌🏻

raiden_1881080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

@Rosweeson
Supporting the development of this game is important. If people don't buy it they won't make a GOTY edition as they won't have the funds to do so.

CS71080d ago

Please stop pedaling this narrative. FF 7 Remake is a full RPG. Playing the game would indicate to you why this singular entry in named “Remake”.

Lionsguard1080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

Take into heart what the Days Gone dev said about don't be shocked as to why there isn't a sequel if people aren't buying at full price. If people don't buy the game, don't be shocked if FF7:RE never finishes or takes even longer to finish. Don't get me wrong, I get it but if every person or most people had the same thought of "I'll just wait for the complete collection" (I know I did many times). Would there EVER be a complete collection?

Also take into mind that time is precious. Sure you can wait but whose to say you'll even be around by the time it finishes? or if you'll even be around next year/month/week/tomorrow?

andy851080d ago

@magic_spatula that's not SEs fault. Props to them for taking the risk of Next Gen only. The game will be so much better for it with no corridor loading etc. The DLC couldn't be run on a PS4.

Popsicle1080d ago

You are going to be waiting a long time.

RosweeSon1080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

Raiden_188 and if you believe that you’ll believe anything. They’ve made their money and they will continue to milk the fans of this game which each and every part. It’s like the hobbit being stretched to 3 films 😑🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤣 enjoy.

CS7 it’s not a narrative the clues on the box Part 1 (of 3) you may be able to consider it a full game but it’s clearly not if the end is still to come in 2 parts, don’t be dense. Full game 🙄🥱🤣
Popsicle really not that bothered just got the first part of this full game for free 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 ✌🏻

If you have FF7R ps4(which gets you the ps5 version free) and you have a PS5 you get the yuffie DLC for 20. If you don't and you want the PS5 version you have to pay 70. Which comes to 50 for FF7R PS5 and 20 for yuffie DLC. Which is decent pricing.

Magic_Spatula1080d ago

But those who still can't get a PS5 are screwed out of the DLC.

kayoss1080d ago

@magic
But thats not square's fault or Sony's fault. At the beginning of the pandemic, we all knew that there will be a shortage of PS5 consoles. Sony themselves announced it. The company they buy the chips shut down for the pandemic therefore, limited consoles are made. Yes, i know its not fair for some players who wants the PS5, but at this point we just need to be patient until things get back to being at least semi normal.

Pyrofire951080d ago

@Magic and to add to @Kayoss
Even among a Semiconductor shortage they are still outselling PS4 in the same time frame. I think the demand is just so incredibly high this time around. The counter to that tho is scalping is at an all time high because sales were (and still are) online only.
It's ridiculous to me that they're still being sold online only. Their excuse that it's because of Covid doesn't make any sense.

RosweeSon1080d ago (Edited 1080d ago )

For part 1 of 3. Who’d have thought 20/25 years ago that a full game on 3 discs would become 3 separate supposedly full games but in 3 parts 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣 💰
Kayoss who’s fault is it then as it’s certainly not ours SE Knew Ps5 was coming still went ahead with PS4 release then a they can’t do it again for ps5 with a few extra hours content then in a couple of years you will get part 2 and if your lucky part 3 before the generation ends. 🤷🏻‍♂️✌🏻 ;🤣

It's only full price if you haven't bought it before. There's no additional about it.

BrockEmSockEm1080d ago

And the expected FREE update to 60fps that most other PS4 titles get for free.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Cutscenes Changed With New Patch, Comparison Inside

A new patch for Square Enix's action role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII Remake, has brought changes to certain cutscenes.

If you can't go without breasts in a cutscene, you need help

Rebel_Scum56d ago

Should’ve ended that sentence with either “you maggot” or “you puke” Sarge

Barlos56d ago

Well bloody hell, I guess I need committing then. Stick me in a padded cell

Eonjay56d ago

People need serious help if you 'need' to stare at a minors breasts. And some of you admitted that so at least we have acknowledgement. Can we not sexualize children? It shouldn't be considered progressive. I think the mass majority of people regardless of political view aren't into to kiddie boobs.

CrimsonWing6956d ago

look, man... why support censorship in any way? Forget the cleavage, it's the principle. Do you like owning the cable television edited version of a movie or do you want the original R-rated version?

I'd be just as irked by this if WB Games put out a patch that censored all the swearing and gore in an MK game. So, regardless of how you feel about boobs being covered up in the game, it's the principle of censorship that gets most people. I couldn't care less if she wore a sports bra from the beginning, what I hate is people covering my eyes and ears like I'm a 5-year old telling me, "This is too inappropriate for you."

So, yea, censorship is dumb as f*ck regardless of the content. Changing something that's already established that nobody made a big deal about, and nobody is getting their rocks off to (let's be real here), all because people get uncomfortable with boobs is dumb, plain and simple.

Like, give me a f*cking break here...

AdonisIsBeast56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Yea, apparently you’re incapable of comprehending the point of the complaint. As another user mentioned, it’s principal. These are fictional characters in fictional worlds, it gives most people no pleasure see “the cleavage” as used in this example. The entire point is that we are all getting sick and tired of these fake and unnecessary DEI and ethics departments censoring media simply for the sake of it. Unless theres nudity, they should leave it alone.

Babadook756d ago (Edited 56d ago )

I prefer the before, but I won’t make a mountain out of a molehill. (No pun intended)

CobraKai56d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

andy8557d ago

I mean she is portrayed as being 15 in the scene. I don't really consider it woke to cover up a child (begs questions why they did it in the first place though).

Rocketisleague56d ago

In the original nomura was going nuts with child panty references and such. Look it up

k2d56d ago

Devil's advocate here.. who's doing the objectification here though? How would progressives react if teenagers where asked to not show skin and cover up their feminine traits? No bare shoulders. No hair. No make-up etc.. 20-30 years ago the main stream tune was the complete opposite, and games where under attack from conservatives and we had to defend games from them. Now publishers are pre-emptively chastising and censoring to please left AND right, depending on which region of the world their trying to up ease.

dmonee55d ago

Alot of Japanese animation, cartoons, video games, are SuS, when it comes to sexual exploitation lol.

Gamingsince198156d ago

She's not anything , she's not a real person, she was never born, they could make her nude and no harm would be done to anything but the minds of people that can't tell real life from video games.

OMGitzThatGuy56d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast56d ago

Actually they’re FOR exploiting children and promoting puberty blockers and life altering hormone treatment for minors. Do your research

qalpha56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

BlackRock is apparently FOR sexualizing minors. They (along with Disney) were vehemently against the Florida parental rights bill (better known as the 'don't sexualize young elementary kids' bill).

banger8857d ago

"It’s unclear why Square Enix opted to make this change around 4 years after the game’s release."

Because some progressive, blue-haired freak started quivering uncontrollably and frothing at the mouth?

CrimsonWing6956d ago (Edited 56d ago )

What’s weird about it? Females wear low cut shirts all the time, do you bust a nut over it? No… well, I’d hope not.

This is a person who has breasts that wore a low cut shirt, the end. It’s not child porn and nobody in hear was fapping to it.

When you go to a mall and some 15 year old has cleavage showing do you run up and throw a bed sheet over her? I mean Geezus you see more with swimsuits…

Our culture is so weird. We have people championing women for doing OnlyFans as such a brave and empowering decision. I see celebrities barely wearing anything on the red carpet exposing their nipples and butt cheeks and everyone is gawking at how amazing the outfit is.

A freaking game has a fake character that in no way looks 15 and in no way is oversexualized, but had a shirt with cleavage in what, a 30 second scene, and suddenly that’s where we draw the line… like what world am I living in?

andy8556d ago

Just personally find it weird. But what is actually weird is the people who are complaining about it. If she was 12 is that suddenly not OK. 10? There's a reason stuff like that isn't shown in media on children. You'll obviously see it in real life but doesn't mean it's right.

gold_drake56d ago

yes and to make it more in line with Rebirth. shes wearing a black undershirt in that game. consistency.

the japanese definetly didnt care if she has one on or not ha.

Barlos56d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

Seems much more likely that the team simply wanted to prevent perverts from zooming in on the cleavage of a 15-year-old in photo mode. I'm pretty sure the Nibelheim flashbacks in Remake were only a couple seconds with a fixed cutscene camera, so that wasn't much of an issue until Rebirth where this character model is obviously used a lot more.

Maybe you guys should hold your horses until you've played the game and stop jumping to conclusions. I've already got spoiled about a scene that happens later on in the game and it certainly didn't fit your hypothesis of Square bending the knee to oversensitive "progressives" with an allergiy to attractive females.

franwex56d ago

They wanted to have consistency with the new character model. That basically it.

Why not make the new character model resemble the design of 4 years ago though?

gold_drake56d ago

while i want my games, especially the ff games with alot of lore, to be as accurate in their translation as possible, the english localisation took huge liberties in the first place.

the japanese and german for example are in line with one another. english is not. but yea. its a silly change, the steel sky was a great thing when she said it, but apperantly the original english lip movement was more in line with "i dont like it" than with "the steel sky, i miss it"
