Leave it to modern game devs to completely misunderstand what made things work in the classics when making a remake....
Nichegamer is confirming that the "orthopedic underwear" joke is gone. A throwaway one liner in the original that came out of nowhere to lighten the serious mood of what happened at Nibelheim gone because Yoshinori Kitase has been successfully shamed about his work from the danger hairs.
The entire purpose of the remake was to add in as much unncessary filler as possible to drag out literally everything.
So of course they would turn the playable cutscene that was the original with a "fully actually playable Sephiroth" section.
Sephiroth shouldn't even have a stagger animation if those are the same scene. Just have him contemptuously parry the enemies' attacks, to emphasise that neither they nor Cloud are on his level.
FFVII is one of my all-time favourites. I recently downloaded the first part of the remake not realising it had been turned into a button-mashing action game. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Modern "gamers" are too incompetent to strategise turn based games so the inevitable lowest denominator is a button masher in the same vein of modern Dark Souls where tactics barely matter and everyone rolls around like a panda which as a baseline is a retarded animal.
They'd flail, fail, and wail if they had to actually fight Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, or any classic FF Superboss because the fights actually needed effort, even if that effort was basically playing Eugenics: The Game and creating the ultimate inbred chocobo to get KOTR.
Man, i downloaded the ff7 remake and sunk i dunno, 20 or 30 hrs into it looking for a world map and areas to farm kills. It doesnt exist. The ff7 remake is a joke
Obviously you refunded the game, right?
If I recall correctly, it was one of those free PlayStation Plus monthly games.
Obviously you threw it out the window, right?
Given the number of worthwhile PS5 exclusives so far, I might as well have.
Wtf am I supposed to be seeing here? This is actual autism.
In FF7, there's a part where Sephiroth joins your party. In combat, he's unstoppable. Can't be hurt, does insane damage, doesn't even flinch when massive monsters swipe at him. This has the effect of making him feel as powerful as he canonically is.
In the remake, when you play as him, you can get pushed around by enemies barely bigger than you. This makes him seem like a wimp even though he's supposed to be a borderline god.
didn't remake turn him into an actual god, capable of screwing with time itself trying to change the events of the original?
can't wait to see how they're going to ruin Safer Sephiroth at the end of all this circus
You assume we're still getting a 1-to-1 remake. I fully expect Sephiroth to fuse all the different timelines together and form a new Legion Sephiroth as the final boss in this "remake".
probably with yet another "cooler" remix of One-Winged Angel
Black Mages or bust.
They made a shitty spin off game and called it a "remake" to sell more copies. It kinda worked.
You're supposed to see how story telling through gameplay has been lost in Rebirth.
