I'll read it right after this battle

I'm glad they are rewriting and adding parts to the story

because the story of the original is dogshit

Okay now I finished the game

i agree with the puzzle stuff too

the puzzles in this game are bad, and there is no real concept of dungeon design

there are also minor gripes like how prompts for holding triangle not only take about 3x longer than any other game, but also wait until after it has been fully completed to even start the animation

There are a lot of really big "we spent a shitload of money on the graphics and production" moments, but then it's kinda littered with small issues that will aggravate people who have played a lot of games before

which is a shame because the combat really is very good

Spoiler free thoughts on FF7R
I firetrucking loved the game. There are some tiny annoyances in the gameplay but it didn't ruin the experience for me at all. The characters were fantastic, so much more expression and life in them, even to some of the side characters. Regarding the story, this will definitely be polarizing because of the ending depending on whether you have played the og before or not. Personally, I like the changes but it also depends on what they do in the future with them.

I feel other people who played the remake are overblowing it a bit regarding the ending, because I highly doubt it's going anywhere where they think it's going. It's just adding new stuff for the people who played the og while still keeping the main stuff there.

yeah there are already weird theories out there regarding the ending

I read two so far

I really don't believe it's going anywhere where they think they are

yeah I think the same

I think I'm gonna get it for the combat and the limited items. The deluxe edition is sold out so I'd feel bad about discarding it. I also used a voucher to get it for 60 instead of 80

That's still a lot of money used on a game you are skeptic about

It is but :bizShrug:

No chance you can put the voucher on something else? Cause I highly recommend for you to do that.

I'm gonna take a chance. P5 royal has ended up beiing far better than I was expecting. Was quite skeptic on that

Nah I can't

Oof

Well, I hope you enjoy it then

There's also no games that I want now. This is kinda it

I've ended up getting ys memories of celceta on a huge discount, so not counting that. Other than cold steel 4 in the fall, there isn't anything else this year for me i think

Unless some other crazy shit is announced

I feel empty after playing FF7R

Which is a good thing because it means I enjoyed it

But now I don't know what I want to do

I feel like you never know what to do

Oh yeah did a hard mode unlock

I mean

Fair

Yes

Oh firetruck
