Now I definitely want to find it

nooo

send me the case and sell the discs after that

Please, I have no interest in selling it. I just want a complete game. I lost the case in college.

What career you planning on going into, HKK?

Documentary filmmaking. I got into journalism school for photography but after much study I've realized photography a limited capacity to promote change in the 2020's so I've relegated it to a hobby (although still about social change and social ...

I had head trauma this year and my 2021 was, as a whole, a mess. But It's good now at least. :tea

i hope you are alright! I'll pray for you Ward.

Terrible. My nervous sysyem or something is shot to heck and doctors are idiots.

I will pray for you my friend.

Heya. I'm mostly okay. People in ...

Stef! Years old but how are you doing? Still listening to hip hop?

Is SG the last Square fansite of the 90's alive still in some capacity? It's like an island surrounded by nothing but ocean. End of an era, officially this time.

The main affiliate we had was Evapilot's site. FFsource? FF8source? Weirdly can't remember the name, but we had like linked forums or ...

HKK

God bless Stefan and that site. Saved my ass in FFVI multiple times because the guide was godlike.

HKK

Doubt it. I think it'll be the same for the most part. I think they're setting this up so you think you can save Aerith but end up failing anyways, which would be a great way to make her death even more resonant in the remake.

HKK

I have no idea what's going on.

Also, I will admit that the final chapter *was* clumsy. But the actual ending was great imo.

Finally, Kitase and the rest of the staff were on board. The decision was a group one, and not Nomura's sole decision. Kitase basically agreed with him and signed off on it ...

What filler are you referring to?

From my observations it seems like there are an abundance of filler side quests and many areas are padded out, like the return to the sewers, Hojo's Wild Lab Ride, the mechanical arm section, etc. But again I've stuck to only commenting on the story for that ...

HKK

What filler are you referring to?

And I think Sephiroth sucks in both the original and the remake. He's a character where the less you see the better. He's better as a force of nature and treated like Jaws than being seen, but that also limits him as a character. Just poor all around. I prefer ...

I literally haven't touched a videogame since the credits rolled on this on April 16th. I hated the last hour of this that much and it's completely killed my enthusiasm for the rest of the project. It was utter nonsense and completely killed the stakes of anything in the OG that's supposed to come ...

HKK

Much better than "Mother. Cetra. Ancients. Gast. Reunion." Sephiroth from the original. What a bad, limited character.

Yes much worse than "Fate. Destiny. Fate. Planet. Fate."

I'm pretty sure Sephiroth has like four lines in the remake and he definitely doesn't talk like this at all ...

HKK

Only time plot ghosts show up is when someone messes with time. You can say in your head "oh that's a minor change" but once Wedge survives all bets are off. That's a *massive* fucking change.

Honestly I take more issue with the use of Sephiroth than Plot Ghosts, but then Seph is precisely why the ...

Despite being "action", it plays very much like a turn based game. Enemies will full on stand there after doing an action. There's a back and forth between player and opponent. Consider each action your "turn". Because spells have a charge time like in IV and X-2, you need adequate space to cast ...

HKK

What are you struggling with? I have a good handle on the system.

Beginning of the video has me fighting and beating Shiva with just Cloud and Aerith.

Perfect is the enemy of good and FFVII Remake is the best FF since X. Game was pure Squaresoft quality. I still can't believe it. The ghost of my FF fandom is knocking on my hearts door.

HKK

Nitpicks aside, this was an incredible game.

The ending was either stupid, ballsy, or genius. I'm personally leaning on genius. I can't stop thinking about it.

This game completely reinvigorated something I lost a decade ago: my FF fandom. Ordered XIV, going to play XIII-2, LR, and Type 0 as well ...

Make a new Ape Escape

I just think you guys are being mean and accusing people who aren't here to defend themselves of being nazis.

Be cool and be nice!

It definitely helps. They improved the controls if I remember correctly.

HKK

Analog was such a big thing in the ps1 days that Resident Evil 1 and 2 were re-released with analog controls.

There was an entire game made specifically for the Dualshock and you could not play the game without owning one. It's why so many transitioned to buying ...

Bio posted on neogaf and like everyone else moved to Reset era.

His username is The Jolly Corner. I highly doubt he's a Nazi or alt right.

Collin isn't a Nazi at all and hates the alt right. He's a proper old style republican.

HKK

How could it have been analog on the PS1? The controllers didn't even have analog sticks. I agree with Asaroth. I think it's the same. There were always some annoying issues with getting to go exactly where you wanted, especially when trying to face certain areas to inspect them.

It did. I got ...

Truly.

It’s not personal though. I’m arguing this subject here and elsewhere. ArsTechnica wrote the other day every game should have some super easy mode from Kojima’s new game.

HKK

Easy modes are fine and have been a part of gaming for nearly 30 years.

Thinking every game needs an easy mode however is foolish and beyond entitled.

Heavy disagree.

People can play it outside japan.

Sorry. Inexcusable.

I-VI and VIII are all on mobile. VII and VIII have great remakes on 3ds. The mobile controls are easy and comfy. III-V are classics. It’s hard for me to pick a favorite DQ. DQIV, V, VII, and VIII regularly fight that slot.

HKK

I agree but it is what it is.

HKK

It being Japanese exclusive isn’t really and obstacle and hasn’t stopped me in the past. I love DQ so much I taught myself Japanese to play DQVII 3ds. At the time it was thought we probably wouldn’t get another DQ game in English ever again. So I taught myself the language. I managed to play it in ...

HKK

You’re right. It’s just harder to notice because it’s lower res. Which makes it even more inexcusable here.

HKK

Have you actually downed all numbered Dragon Quests and enjoyed them all?

I find it odd that 11 would be so offputting.

Yes I have played and loved 1-9. X is an mmo.

DQ fans aren’t like FF fans. We tend to like every game in the franchise.

And yes it’s very off putting. It goes against why I ...

At like 27:20 Cid is talking and is clear and has a nice model. After that he's a pixelated mess. What the fuck.

He switches to being painted on the background. Lots of NPCs are actually just painted on instead of there...so everytime that's the case the NPCs wont get new models

Well it’s new ...

I tried DQXI demo on Switch and I still don’t like it but I really like that others are enjoying Dragon Quest so it’s win win. I have to accept it’s the first dragon quest I just won’t like. I’ll buy it on Switch to see it to the end.

I thought Mario Odyssey look babified in the pre release footage ...

Sounds like good worries to me

I made a video of gameplay and it has lots of issues.

https://youtu.be/6mjIXKClb-k

Notice the npcs at 6:41. Some are blurry, others aren't.

At 14:51 there's AWFUL slowdown. That screen has always had frame rate issues but it was NEVER THAT BAD. It continues when they get to Ifrit.

At like 27:20 ...

I've somehow managed to learn to love them again and it feels great. I've even changed my tune on FFVIIr. I'm not sure if it was due to depression or what - which I've worked on this year - but I'm far less cynical and critical. Being able to enjoy an old hobby again is like seeing with fresh eyes ...

The latest trailer is so good that my cynicism has been completely murdered. I'm in, 100%.
