Tom from We Game Daily writes: "Final Fantasy VII Remake is truly is the embodiment of what a AAA game should be. None of the "mile wide, inch deep" world here."

With one exception. Its name is a lie. Its a FFVII Reboot, not a Remake.

MrNinosan138d ago

Or you just need to understand that the word Remake has more meanings than one.

Rynxie138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Ah, yes, that's what we need. A game that was once sold in a complete package is now being broken into parts with the price tag of $70 each.

I guess next year, Sony will release The Last of Us 2: Remake - part 1 of 3, where you get the first 1/3rd of the game for the price tag of $70 and wait a few years in-between to get the second and third half of the game.

Because, according to this dipsh*t, that should be the standard of AAA games now.

goldwyncq137d ago

Each game will have their own beginning, middle, climax and end. Remake was a complete package and anyone who says otherwise has not played it.

purple101137d ago

didn't the original come on 4 disks and was one of the biggest (longest) games of its era.?

MrNinosan136d ago

@purple101
FFVII (PS) was 3 discs and not one lf the biggest (longest) games of the era.

It took around 40-45 hours to beat first time, and around 70-80 hours for completionist.

Xenogears was longer, I would assume Breath of Fire 3 and 4 as well, even the Suikoden games was pretty long.

I think FFVII together with most jrpgs on PSOne was around the 40-50 hours mark 👍

FFVII Remake took almost the same time for a first round, but mainly due to cutscenes and more time put on story.

However, FFVII Remake includes a lot that wasn't in the original, and Rebirth will be even more due to the second timeline and Zack.

goldwyncq137d ago

It's objectively not a reboot in any sense of the word though.

shinoff2183138d ago

For as down as u was on this game the day it released for not having turn based combat . I didn't try it again until I got a ps5. I figured wth I'll give it another shot. It was amazing in the end. I'm really looking forward to rebirth.

Deep down though I just hope square don't forget us turn based fans.

MrNinosan138d ago

Square didn't forget "us" fans and they make lots of turn based games still.

shinoff2183138d ago

Sure. They do but it's definitely dwindled. What do we got like 3 4 turn based ones. I'm afraid they'll action up dq 12. What I can think of from square, lost sphear, I am setsuna, couple remasters they did in the last few years but I can't think of anything(doesn't mean they haven't I just can't remember) Which is what it is but I still feel what I feel.

shinoff2183138d ago

Omg octapath that's the one that was on the tip of the tongue but couldn't figure it out. Congrats though like 3

CrimsonWing69138d ago

Honestly, when this trilogy is done and we compile it as one game... I honestly can't think of a game that could beat this. Part 1 was exceptional. Blew my expectations away and this is coming from a long-time Squaresoft fan who lost faith that Square Enix could make an FF game that would appeal to an old-school fan.

Rebirth looks like it's cranking the dial all the way up. I can't even imagine how legendary the finale will be.

Pyrofire95138d ago

Nearly. Too much padding. Sewers, Lamps, and Train Graveyard I think could have been cut/trimmed and the game would be better for it.

shinoff2183138d ago

That's kinda most games when you break it down. You ended up in the sewers due to the story same as the trains. What games don't have padding. The longer the better imo. I want more not a 6 to 8 hour game.

gold_drake137d ago

the only time id say it was padding, was the second time you go into the sewers.

everything else is either new locations or sidequests that are OPTIONAL

Chard137d ago

Too much shimmying through tight spaces

gold_drake137d ago

i loved it. i still do.
the music is just so incredible, the voice actiong top notch (english and german, will never play the jp versions ha), the twist on the story, the slums the locations, wall market, the shinra building my god.

just so so good.

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_Scum59d ago

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

Barlos59d ago

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

Eonjay59d 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.

CrimsonWing6959d 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...

AdonisIsBeast59d ago (Edited 59d 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.

Babadook759d ago (Edited 59d ago )

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

CobraKai59d ago

It’s about the needless censorship.

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).

Rocketisleague59d ago

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

k2d59d 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.

dmonee58d ago

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

Gamingsince198159d 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.

OMGitzThatGuy59d ago

Black rock is against sexualizing minors? Those demons!

AdonisIsBeast59d ago

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

qalpha58d ago (Edited 58d 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).

banger8859d 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?

CrimsonWing6959d ago (Edited 59d 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?

andy8559d 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_drake59d 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.

Barlos59d ago

Sweet Baby Inc is probably the reason

I_am_Batman59d ago (Edited 59d 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.

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_drake59d 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"
