By Xpike Go To Postthey added a bunch of shit but the main plot is essentially still the same beat by beat until the endI really can't answer this without spoiling
thats streching
if you're not planning on playing it at all, read Dy's post. By conventional remake standards, they were stretching, but this was anything but a conventional remake.
My interest in the game was starting to flag a bit in Chp 14. Finishing the side quests took a while but as soon as I got to Chp 15 things picked up.a whole lot.
Seeing the destruction Shinra wrought on the Sector 7 plate was breathtaking. And the sprint to rescue Aerith is fantastic.

I got Tifa's obviously.
it's possible to get one with Aeirth, and it's ominous as fuck. Haven't watched the one with Barret yet

thats streching
they lay groundwork for a lot of wild shit to go left
By data Go To PostThis second reactor mission is awful. Why does it go on so long?

By Perfect Blue Go To PostWe gonna run it back on Hard or naw?Running it back.
By Laboured Go To PostIs there much stuff on the top plate?lol no
Horse you mean the civilian side? You get to do a main quest there
but I dunno if I wanna replay the whole thing, maybe just my favourite chapters/boss fights.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWe gonna run it back on Hard or naw?I need to grab the new ng+ summon(s) at the Shinra combat simulator first

By Facism Go To PostFinished.define that wew kanka
Wew.
Ending:
seph fight felt shoehorned as fuck but I appreciated the nod to the final encounter in the original. Just no omnislash finish.
Glad the cut the rope of the original story. Interested to see where they take the story now. All those little flash-fowards showing what was supposed to be was cool. Hope it goes batshit.
Game has it's problems and totally feels like it had a troubled dev, but still the best Single player final fantasy square has put out since 12.

What a game, lads
No idea what's going on with Zack's timeline. First time we saw him he seemed to be looking at the Whispers surrounding Shinra HQ, then after that it looked like that was a flashback
That will have big implications on Cloud's backstory and how it's changed from the original.
edit: eugh, multiple timelines and dimensions of course. The most boring fuckery in storytelling.

Yeah Hitch,
Zack still being alive opens up all sorts of shit. I don't even know how to process that.

Combat gets better every time I play.
By Facism Go To PostEnding:true, but I feel like it would've been unsatisfying to end it with any other boss. It's all I ever wanted all game after all the cockteasing ;_;

that cutscene in the middle of nowhere was essential.
By Hitch Go To PostWhat a game, ladsI dunno if I'm reading too much into this but Aerith seemed aware of the events of OG 7, like Sephiroth basically. I raised an eyebrow when she handed Cloud a 'lovers reunion' flower but then chapter 14's cutscene outright confirmed it

I was confused when she called Red a little boy. It's kinda obvious that he's just another experiment but did they even meet before that point
this is great
Square Enix have done a fantastic job with the scale of this game. Up close, Shinra HQ is fucking massive.
By Mystikal McGhee Go To Poststepping outside the church with aeris the first time.lol
no.
I should not love this game as much as I do right now.
mako factory stuff: good
airbuster build up: good
airbuster: hype
reno boss: hype
outside church: heinous anus textures
if they fix the visual inconsistencies with a patch or a pc/ps5 release this game will be tops,
god damn the combat is amazing. and the soundtrack. and the main character models, give that person a medal or award or something.

By Yurt Nomura Go To Postjust run past the textures the motion blur will protect youi turned the volume up, closed my eyes, and held forward
only stopping for the lad chadley
Anyone else laugh when Barret says "Remember this view?" Like m8 i can see jpeg artefacts.
Pretty hype for a part 2 though.
man's played themselves smashing the arbiters. Planet is saved in the original timeline, now it can go anywhere.
Will probably do hard mode in a bit.

Also, once the purists stop malding, ppl will understand how far off the rails shit is. I'm a complete FF weeb and I still don't know how to process it all.
I probably shouldn't have googled Cait Sith, but man that's such a nice twist! I knew he's good people

Seph telling cloud to follow him into the singularity so they can change fate. Man knows he loses in the normal timeline. The lads just handed him the game, but at least maybe Aerith doesn't get merc'd.
Hope they keep that DMC cutscene energy in the sequel. Can't wait to see how they handle madcunt stuff like the weapons, or Hojo on the beach/Hojo disc 2 bossfight at the Midgar Cannon.
Zack being a proper bloke :')
Roche kinda just melted away. Thought there'd be more of him, but nope.
Oh, no I get all that.
There's a lot of other much, much more weird things cooking that were subtle and scattered about the story. Shinra having underground labs IN Midgar is some wild shit that shouldn't have happened like that according to Dirge of Cerberus. Aerith knew more than she was letting on and that scene with her and Marlene was extremely problematic lol. Aerith was on her FFX Yuna wave by walking the dead back home. That is NOT supposed to be her lane. And handing out powers is not in her bag either. Notice how she was chased off by the whispers for that after Cloud bumped into her in Midgar. Shit was jacked up before the game even started.
For all we know, Wedge is going to be Cait Sith's Hodor lol
Either way im with it. Probably gonna watch Advent Children next week and get my tinfoil hat out

lmaoo Wedge, I can see it.
I was hoping they'd show Vincent but it sounds like he's a minor character

Anyone did the last thing for Chadley and beat Bahamut? That fucking Megaflare attack is fucking me up.
By DY_nasty Go To PostJust an incredible soundtrack. Man's don't get paid enough
🔥
Finished.
Great game with the same faults running through it. There were two big climaxes they were leading to. And each time rather than sprinting to the finish, you were bogged down with changes of perspective and repetitive dungeon crawling. That can hopefully be remedied in part two.

Not really made about the ending tbh. Something that's really hard to judge without seeing how they pull off everything in the following parts.
Game had alot of flaws, but also some amazing things.
Personally they nailed alot of things where I thought they would utterly fail and on the other hand, they failed with parts that felt rather easy to pull off in a decent way.
Wall market was amazing.
I'm split on alot of things. Only thing that's really without any form of criticism is the music. On fucking point!
The fighting system can be amazing at times, but it also feels weird with the camera at times. Honestly some of the materia just doesn't suit the battle system. Should have either gone entirely with the classic system or full on action.
Also fuck Nomura and his aerial battle shit. This isn't Kingdom Hearts.
I don't need to mention the side quests. Some new additions also feel awfully out of place ( Roche, the boss before Sephi that looks like some fucking random ass bioware boss, fighting Sephi with the best track so soon ;_; )
The Shinra HQ feels off in terms of pacing. The entire segment with Hojo and running through his labs shouldn't be in tbh.
Anyway, I'm really happy with the game. Can see that people hate aspects of it and parts of the game, but I really enjoyed my time and wanted to play part 2 right after it ;_;
By reilo Go To PostThat first Roche fight is the most absurdest of thingsIt was basically Nomura saying 'fuck you for not liking Advent Children'
Sunhi is still following me on twitter for some reason, our footy boy is humble.
the end game stuff is fun, hard mode is brutal though I'm getting two shotted by regular mobs. Still level 39 mind
and I didn't know about all the extra limit breaks you get from the colosseum lmaooo JRPG'd

Think I'm through chapter 9 or 10. Combat is really opening up and is so much better than 15. I'm really enjoying the combat.
That being said, I may have outgrown my capacity for Anime / bad dialog / weird moans etc etc. Dressing cloud up as a woman and challenging gender norms squashed between two scenes of being cat called by randos was soooooooooooooooo fucking bad.Also fuck corridors.

I’m not sure I’ve played a game with this much cringe in it. I’m not even joking ...
I’m gonna he the loan SLAENTEr who’s meh on this in the end I bet. lol can’t stand super linear RPG’s and do no like anime.
That thirst Reilo described was total jokes omfg so bad
That being said ... Tbis is the turn based combat evolution I’ve always wanted
