Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@WanderingBullet For want of a better word, Cloud looked a wee bit too ‘twink’ for my liking. Same problem with V in DmCV for me, the arms just get me every time.

@nessisonett To be fair Final Fantasy has a lot of androgynous looking male leads. Only one that I can think of at the moment that doesn't have that look is the FFXIV protagonist.

Fan favorite Yoshitaka Amano characters always tend to look androgynous as well.

@WanderingBullet Not all of them lug around huge ass swords though, you’d think that would make you buff 😂😂

@nessisonett Maybe it's made with super strong but lightweight material.haha

@WanderingBullet They have also said the next parts will not take as long to make for the reasons already mentioned.

@Jaz007 Sorry I wasn't referring to you or anything, more like the randoms in the comments section.

@Jaz007 yeah for the past 6-7 years Square development has been, shall we say "spotty" at best but i believe that the big restructure they did last year was to try and fix the issue they had with their development studios and they do seem to be a bit more on the ball now

like you said wait and see but i think it will be fine

@WanderingBullet there was a lot of discussion about it back when the first trailer dropped, i even recall people saying Cloud looked like a long term drug user, not really a good thing for people to associate with your character

@KratosMD it would be, FFV is the underrated gem if the series, it deserves more love

@KratosMD It’s still the only main series game I haven’t played, I’ve even played parts of XI and XIV but don’t have the time for them. I’d like to play it with graphics similar to the III and IV remakes.

@Arugula you on about the FFVII Remake demo, try using the L1 button to bring up a quick select menu (ala Kingdom Hearts), it can help the battles go a bit smoother

@Arugula Circle button

@Arugula You can also try changing the difficulty. Or just git gud.

@Arugula oh honey

@Arugula I think that is a massive insult to Kyle lol.

I finally went through the FF VII Remake demo last night.

... I really wanted to like this after not enjoying the original FFVII (as I've already stated plenty of times).

And goddammit...

I... quite liked it! 😁

I'll probably not get it on release (So I'll be avoiding this thread like the plague when it drops).

But yeah... The presentation was pretty slick, what I heard of the soundtrack was nice, the graphics are gorgeous (as if I didn't know that already), the world I think looks better fleshed out and realised now that it can properly show the grandeur of Midgar and it was just pretty damn solid overall.

I'm not 100% down with the combat system or it's control scheme (But that's more because I just need to get used to it)

I'm very (cautiously) optimistic though. I might finally get some of that FFVII magic to rub off on me!

OK everyone NO tagging @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy when FFVII Remake comes out, lets not spoil it for em hey

but just so you know when the game does come out i WILL be posting on this thread like a hater on a Star Wars Twitter post so you probably should avoid it

@WanderingBullet yeah I think so, Crisis Core was the only game that featured Zack as playable, did you play it?
The fact it never got a remaster or remake maker me think they want to use bits of it or it’s lore in FFVIIR.

He was also featured in Before Crisis

@Arugula I didn't try it but you could give classic mode a go first as it sounds like the computer controls your movement and then has you put in commands when the ATB builds up.

I do agree it can get a bit overwhelming when everything is happening at once and trying to learn the new systems.

And thing I forgot from my play through; how much health do the dogs have compared to the guards??

@Arugula That bit wasn't just directed at you but Cloud's fire magic works well on them.

with the remake right around a the corner i thought i would share the trailer that caused all the demand for it in the first place

FFVII PS3 Tech Demo

it's been a while but it's finally coming
