Is it just me, or are they actually learning? Veilguard getting completely snubbed? By these ass lickers?
I wanted to say "but Rebirth isn't even good", but then I remembered which award we're talking about and what the usual standards are.
I hear you there. I couldn't even stomach finishing Remake, pirated.
Rebirth is worse than Remake IMO. Completely wastes your time with endless minigames and boring sidequests.
With Remake I was still torn, because while all the scenes that were "like FF7 but different" and usually involved the bullshit ghost squad, filled me with seething hatred, the stuff that was usually decried as padding made me quite happy (fleshing out Barret's idiot trio for example). But then it turns out Sephiroth is the end boss, because Squeenix couldn't even keep it in their pants for one game and I just wanted to suckstart a shotgun.
Retarded consoomer that I am, I still bought Rebirth, but I'm stuck at the Nibelheim incident, because they couldn't even get Sephiroth's reason for going insane right and I just about lost all interest. The things I got spoiled with do not help. (Motherfucking multiverse, ayooooo!)
Even though I barely played it, I'm actually willing to bet, the story is worse than Dirge of fucking Cerberus.
It is a sad state of affairs that the story of the stupid ftp gacha game has been more interesting so far.
Rebirth opinion for me is simple- that's the timeframe the crew would encounter the enemy Jemnezmy. Didn't appear at all in Rebirth. Not interested.
Is that that sexy lady monster? 'cuz if so, the yeah, they are very weird with what they will and will not censor.
Shiva still looks sexy and you can dress the girls in Bikinis at Costa del Sol. But then they cut out stuff like Cloud finding Tifa's underwear in her room (and they gave her an undershirt to hide her cleavage in the cowboy outfit) and they completely massacred Cid's character.
Hell, Sephiroth's changed motivation smells like censorship as well. Because in Rebirth he's just mad, because he found out, he's the result of an experiment. But in the original, once he found out he was part Ancient and read that the Ancients all died protecting the planet from calamity, while the other humans did nothing, he gets this massive victim hood complex and wants to take revenge on the humans for what happened to the Ancients and for destroying the planet.
And Remake had shit like that as well, with the bomb at the reactor. In the original it's Jessie's fuck up, because she used a bomb that she just found from the original Avalanche group. There is some implication that Shinra could have manipulated something, but it never goes further. In Remake, nope, Jessie didndu nuffin, it was all evil Shinra.
