Probably not for me as Black Panther and Captain America are very uninteresting to me but I'm glad it's a narrative single player game. Hope fans of these heroes enjoy!

Had it preordered since it was announced. Can't wait! Hope I'm done with Dragons Dogma and Rebirth before then though.

@Lmaooo What are you talking about? Last we heard, FF16 had sold 3m copies and is the number 1 best selling PS5 game in Japan. FF7 Rebirth is number 2 and we only have sales data for Japan so far and it doesn't even count digital. You're jumping to conclusions to suit your agenda.

Who's "the fans"? You? Are you the spokesperson for all fans? You should only ever speak for yourself. They're not listening to you for sure.

@ceedj That would be awesome. There's so many possibilities with this remake and that's why I love it so much. I'm here for crazy Cloud too, the scene in Gongaga was brilliant!

@Zenos The link if you're interested https://www.eurogamer.net/final-fantasy-7-remake-trilogy-will-link-with-advent-children-confirms-producer

@Zenos I think I saw somewhere that Square said that the trilogy will line up with Advent Children and "make sense" so I guess we'll see!

@Zenos People who like and enjoy something don't tend to post it all over the place and scream it from the rooftops as much as people who hate something so it's not unusual.

I can't say too much as I would be mostly speaking out of ignorance having not seen the ending yet but I'm used to the FF fanbase overreacting about the smallest things. There's still another game after this one so even if I do hate this ending, I'd still reserve full judgement until it's all over.

@Lmaooo Considering how well the games review and sell, you are indeed the minority, FF16's "extreme controversy" was also a small group of constantly displeased fans. Square do listen to their fans but the fans aren't a hivemind and we all have different ideas as to what makes a FF title a good game.

As a fan, I'm very pleased and you are a fan who is not pleased. They can't please everybody. There's too much entitlement.

@Zenos I'm on the last few chapters, I've heard about the ending a little and I know it won't bother me. I've been very open to how the story goes from the beginning.

@UltimateOtaku91 It's funny because I played the original when I was about 7 years old and it was solidified as my favourite game way back then. My love for the original only enhances how I feel about the Remake trilogy which as far as I'm concerned are shaping up to be even better than the original was.

It's hard to take "fans" seriously when they act like these games are 0/10 trash just because they aren't 1:1 the same. The characters and story are so well expanded upon and the music and combat are so incredible that if someone is truly a fan then they should be able to find something they enjoy in these games.

Atlus get away with far too much. They sure do milk the hell out of the Persona series and the main SMT series to a lesser extent. They make fantastic games but they're always riddled with day one DLC's and re-releases to "finish" the experience.

I've bought nearly every re-release and spin off over the years because of FOMO but I'm starting to reach my limit. Square doesn't even milk FF7 this much.

@Ralizah Wasn't Metaphor confirmed for this year? Or am I crazy? Probably better if it doesn't release this year because I am absolutely smothered in great games at the moment.

I always look forward to more Digimon! Digimon survive was great so can't wait for more.

Loving every second. Game of a lifetime for me! Don't understand the sidequest complaints, they've been very varied and fun so far and most of the mini games have been great too.

Definitely going for the platinum and can't wait for part 3.

And so they're going to make us pay for it? For content they're essentially admitting should've been there? Get outta here Atlus.

I'm surprised people like 12's moogles. Always found them too "unmooglelike" for my tastes. The best designs are 6,9,13, 14 and 16 I think. 7 Rebirth's do weird me out though I've gotta say.

My comment was removed I guess criticism is only OK when not directed at PushSquare themselves.

@Player_1_Ready If anything, the opposite is true. They take risks a bit too much sometimes.

I'll wait for the DLC. Wild that some of this stuff wasn't here at launch though.

@somnambulance They'll be fine. Whenever a new FF title releases this discussion just repeats itself again and again and again. Also glad you like the new games, I myself love them aswell and think that FF is still going very strong,I never miss a new installment.

Easily my favourite series.

This is literally just Japan's Physical sales numbers? Nowhere near the whole picture so I'm not really sure what everyone's getting so worked up about.

@UltimateOtaku91 Right? Gaming has been the best it's ever been for me these past couple years. I've found myself completely overwhelmed with great games and I'm struggling to keep up.

I still haven't played infinite wealth or Granblue Fantasy yet because I've been busy with Persona 3 and FF7 Rebirth which are also incredible and Dragons Dogma 2 soon as well? Holy hell games are good right now.

I've never really understood the "no good games anymore" argument. Maybe they don't play Japanese games? 🤔

@GilgaMax96 You're not fooling anyone, throwing insults around shows that you're upset. It's OK, I apologise. I'll make sure to contact you for your expert opinion before I make any purchases in the future OK?

@GilgaMax96 The same way a whole bunch of people have steam libraries full of games they've never played. They were cheap so I bought all of them as I kept hearing they were so great in Jrpg circles. Not really hard to understand is it?

But yes based on what others said, the series may not be for me but I also expressed my willingness to try if better games stop taking up my time.

You come across like I offended you or something. Should I apologise?

@Matroska That's the other thing that puts me off because I've seen it mentioned before. I've also seen people say that the characters are deeper than their tropes too so it's conflicting. Definitely not an easy series to get into either way considering how many games are connected within it.

@McBurn Usually I can get past a certain artstyle or bad graphics so It's usually not a problem. I think you're right though and I'll probably pass on it.

If I ever find myself with nothing to play then I'll give it a go.

I have the whole trails series sitting on my shelf waiting to be played but it's just such a big commitment. Not sure if I'll ever get round to it. I always find the artstyle in their games to be incredibly bland too. It's not the graphics but just bad art direction.

Cool to see a handful of Drakengard fans in here. I started with Drakengard and would give a kidney to have a proper remake or full on new game in the series.

Some say that Nier Reincarnation is the 3rd Nier game but I just can't get into all that gacha nonsense and to tell me that it's a sequel to Automata is just insulting.

Just buy Physical and you'll almost never pay full price for a game. Problem solved! 😋

@Nei Very well said, I came back to the comments to say something similar but you put it far better than I had intended too. I never even thought about the one sided angle of it.

It is strange that they compare the weak aspects of Jrpgs to Western ones but not the other way around. All in all, they're different beasts.

Their first mistake was having expectations at all.

The original FF7 has been and always will be my number 1 game and I'm so glad to see that rebirth has been recieved so well and even rates slightly higher than the original. More Cloud and Co is all I need to love it.

In regards to complaints about side quests for this and FF16, I feel JRPG's in general are far behind games like Witcher and Elder Scrolls etc. Doesn't mean that can't and shouldn't change but I honestly can't think of a JRPG with actual good side quests.

So many good jrpgs releasing this year and 3 of them from Atlus. I'm glad SMT is still going strong alongside Persona as I do prefer the overall tone of the former. Looking forward to this seemingly hefty re-release!

@nessisonett I like that section too, it's key for the development of a lot of characters too so I hope it doesn't get changed. I think part 3 could fit it all in though since they have a lot of the world and gameplay already established. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

@ShogunRok Ahh I see what you mean. It's probably something I won't have a problem with personally but I get why it would be a problem for some. Thanks for the explanation

@nessisonett It would be difficult for FF7R to learn anything from FF16 since they were being developed around the same time. Wasn't disc 3 super short? Like pretty much just north crater? It's been a while.

I played the Junon update yesterday and have already fallen in love with the gameplay. Can't wait for next week!

@ShogunRok If the bloat is optional, then it's not really bloat is it? Isn't Yakuza the most bloated series ever by that metric? Or am I understanding this wrong?

Great! Now release Tales Of Abyss on PS5 goddamnit!

That's an unfortunate day of release next to Elden ring but still I'm looking forward to it!

@McBurn Oh man do I agree with that so much. Especially when considering that most Persona protagonists clearly have an already defined personality underneath the silent treatment. P3, P4 and P5's MC's are very clearly not "me" so might as well go all the way and just voice them.

Even Digital Devil Sagas main character wasn't voiced, I just don't get it.

1st person is a big disappointment. I wanted to see my cool mando armor 😞

@McBurn How dare you. Nahobino looks cool AF.

Loved SMT5 so would 100% buy again for the upgrades. Wish they'd remaster 4 though.

@Blaze215 I was thinking the same thing. 1.3m across all platforms sounds pretty poor to me. Compared to something like FF16 selling 3m on just the PS5 or a more unfair comparison, Spider-man 2 at 10m.

Not saying Alan Wake 2 is a flop or anything but it just doesn't sound like the grand success some people in the comments are making it out to be.

Wow... This comments section is awful. Funny how this comes up so often. MJ, Aloy and now Lara Croft herself. They all look fine and saying that any of them look like men just proves how delusional you all are. Stay away from real women... Please.

Persona 3 has always been my favourite and this remake has just solidified that stance. So happy that all my favourite games are getting such great remakes these days.
