:soracri: better than nothing

The original midgar does feel quite rushed now

it does tbh like. I’m surprised how fast it went through everything. I’m at the part where the plate is gonna fall and I’m only about 2 hours in.

it’s definitely making me appreciate the remake even more

I mean it's also because seven has the whole other game after midgar it's only the introduction but with it being as long as it is in the remake and then having more to play after that I think it's going to be pretty awesome when you can go between the two immediately

I'm really glad the remake focused solely on Midgar because it actually hooked me to an extent like the plate falling for example

The original back during the numerous times I've tried playing it felt so rushed that it felt difficult to get attached to anything

I'm surprised I played 20+ hours of it cuz nothing engaged me really

Midgar is a really cool setting getting more of that was awesome although I still wish we could have gone on to the upper plates a bit more but other than that it was really cool

I don't like the setting of midgar at all lol. I like its focus just for character at mostly

Even though I have issues with that too

well this is still just a small part of a a larger

overall story

Yeah

I feel super conflicted as I've talked before

While it does hook me a lot more than the original ever did, the only character that I felt was handled well was Barret. No one else really impacted me at all

not even Hojo

These are some of the worst villains I've seen in a while they all just annoyed me and the scenes with hojo and shinra just weren't engaging at all

Rufus kinda intersted me but he's barely in there so I'm still conflicted on him

hm interesting

Hojo is the worst I think? Or maybe president shinra. The president had pretty much no presence

aw. I thought hojo and Rufus were real cool.

Hojo ruined a lot of lategame for me.

Rufus is the only antagonist to have an engaging intro other than sephiroth

So that has me hopeful

I do really wish Rufus was alluded to prior because it felt like he came out of nowhere. I don't even think the turks mentioned him at all.

Could've missed dialogue though

he did kinda come out of nowhere. I didn’t really make the connection of him being the Vice President. Like. I don’t remember it being mentioned.

but I could have missed dialogue too

Is he one of the hologram things in the Shinra building?

Maybe?

That's a good point

Nah he wasn't

Which was odd

I do wish they referenced him somewhat at least once, I don't remember any place where they did and I haven't seen anyone saying they saw a reference either

It's not a deal breaker or anything, but it did feel like it came out of the left field

His father sent him away, he knew Rufus wanted his place

you can try looking up Before Crisis if you want to learn more about Rufus

it kinda reminds me of old movies where the villain dies and then the newer eviler villain takes their place out of nowhere .

and ? thanks noleen!!

I think it's kind of cool in a way the main big bad is dead and now all the sudden at the eleventh hour his son arrives the stakes are raised leaving things for the next episode

It adds anticipation for the next part ?

I think I just enjoy the Trope of here's a new villain out of nowhere

It annoyed me in this instance personally but eh. I'll have to see how he's handled

I think maybe cuz I didn't like any of the villains anyway so there was no real shock value
