Social media is a mistake. The internet was so much better when communication was limited to email and tightly controlled specialist forums.

While the transition to 3DCG softened the Major’s character design a bit

To be fair they were anime style before, but yeah, they’ve shifted it away from a realistic style to a Tales 2.0 look

Backgrounds have certainly been improved, but the characters...

This is Cloud we’re talking about. The guy who walked into Tifa’s house, went to her bedroom and began searching through her drawers. And then embarrassed her in front of everybody by describing the article of clothing he found.

Sure it does. FF7R on PS4 will be optimized for harddrives, meaning textures will be lower quality so they load quickly. With an SSD though they can afford to use higher quality textures.

This is one of the reasons I’m looking forward to the PC version. Not only do I hope someone will mod in a camera mode, but I expect the game to look even more gorgeous thanks to higher end rigs with SSDs.

If it weren’t for putting animators out of work, I wouldn’t mind if 90% of the above didn’t get made.

Current anime trends really piss me off. I especially hate what they do to pre-existing characters to try to make them match up to it.

I suspect the easy mode is for very casual gamers. People who haven’t played a Final Fantasy or even a game in years, but have decided to get this game out of nostalgia.

Can I just make a recommendation to anyone trying to get over their arachnophobia? Do a search for jumping spiders on Youtube. Those blighters are adorable for 8 legged monstrosities.

I was really saddened that Cosmic Star Heroine wasn’t more successful.

I was watching some playthroughs (I know I shouldn’t) that were up to 10 hours into the game and I was pleasantly stunned by how much they expanded it. I’m not just talking about the story, but the dialogue too. Nearly all the dialogue is new and yet it matches the characters perfectly, whether it’s exposition, a…

That seems like a weird decision.

It’s telling that the new big shonen series have moved away from that format to something with tighter, self contained storylines.

Wait, ship wars can’t have gotten worse... They were already pretty bad in 2016,

It should be pointed out that it was sorta creeping into FF6, what with Sabin.

Is that Faze Clan something to do with that guy who married Yanet Garcia?

Final Fantasy VII was not a subtle game
