Remake isn't even good as a game, much less JUST THE OPENING ACT OF THE ORIGINAL GAME FOR SEVENTY FUCKING DOLLARS.
I pirated that shit (before it got a Steam release), and not even the greatest Tifa and Aerith mods could keep me going to the end, much less sell the game the game to me when it finally got to Steam. Fuck them.
What gets me is the "Time Jannies" concept. Presenting the concept of preferring the original canon over retcons as villainous and monstrous. I don't even like FFVII that much, but I can't stand people taking a landmark piece of gaming history and graffitiing all over it.
The things that they appear in early-to-mid game don't even make sense, as there's supposedly only one particular force that could have changed course, and he wasn't doing shit, so why were they getting involved?
Well Squenix spent over a decade literally jerking off on FF7 as if it was literally the best game in existence. It had spinoff upon sequel among cameo among fucking everything. Until the point even the fans of that "Compendium" got sick of it.
So the graffiti is absolutely deserved after that much fluffing. The problem is that the same guys are doing both and we aren't supposed to notice the full 180.
They gave it for free on ps plus and I couldn't even get passed an hour of gameplay. It just doesn't feel like a jrpg.
THe remake's gameplay just sucks. Or more charitably, it's so far-removed from the original, I don't want to play that. I don't like that gameplay. They made it ''hack-and-slash-y''.
Overall, the graphics in the remake are great. I want these graphics with the gameplay of the original, because the remake's action combat is abysmally lackluster and the graphics in the original (specifically the 3D models for the characters in the world) look terrible.
I also think they did a good job with the graphics.
Some part of the story they fleshed-out is also worth keeping.
Why did they have to fuck with the gameplay?
The graphics are half the reason why the dialogue and voice acting is so shit. Because they feel compelled to match the lip flaps and cadence of the characters, leading to the constant "anime grunts" and nonsensical sentences constantly.
At least the old graphics don't actively detract from something in that manner.
