Man I lowkey regret playing this

ngl

Damn, really?

I thought you enjoyed it overall

I was under the impression that I didn't have to play the original in order to fully understand the basic events at least

Like this isn't KH, where all the games are connected. This I thought, was going to be a square one type of situation

I mean, you still don't

Whatever stuff was shown here will be talked about in the future games

Seems pretty scummy to me though

Because if you did play the original, those visions make sense

But if you didn't they're just ???

If this was the game from scratch, like there was no FF7 before but just this, it wouldn't be any different. Any stuff that happened here will be explained/talked about in the future.

I'm still wildly confused on what the issue with ff7r is
like
is it really just

zack

?

Right, but then that's an intrigue for new players going in. They don't know what it means but it's speculation for them

But for people who played the old ones, it's a reference

It's scummy to me because those who played the original have a headstart on parsing meanings from direct talk about the originals instead of just references or callbacks

Like, I was expecting just references or callbacks to the original but it goes so far beyond that

Hmmmm

did you like

want them to erase ff7 or something?

Alright wait, let me ask a hypothetical situation here

I wanted this to be a square one situation

Where everyone was on an even playing ground with just the basic story

Nevermind, my hypothetical situation wouldn't work here

so you wanted them to erase crisis core

Nah

but that's square one
if you want square one to be ff7r then there is no crisis core

They could've talked about crisis core and it would've been fine

this is the beginning

Nah the og ff7 talked about zack

oh so then what's the issue?

> Where everyone was on an even playing ground with just the basic story
See, that's not possible no matter what. Aerith's death is so damn huge that even people who haven't played og FF7 knows about it. There would never be an even ground.

The issue I have is them showing the ending of crisis core

With the differing outcome

We don't know if there's a different outcome
