Even if they decide to completely scrap this inane idea, they’re screwed. Who would ever trust them after this?

Wizards of the Coast did this not too long ago with their OGL “update”.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a company so thoroughly come out of nowhere and shoot itself in the foot as hard as Unity has. 

Everything involved with Chocobos was the worst. Breeding and boosting was doable but only if you knew exactly how to do it, and even then it was tedious; Chocobo racing was an unskippable RNG affair (later a controllable RNG affair) with RNG prizes that a ton of materia was locked behind...taht last bit might not be…

I just want to thank you for the parenthetical explanation of what HDR is. I’ve known the term since Half-Life 2 added it with the Lost Coast add-on/tech demo, but I always forget what it is exactly.

You mean RNG deciding what choco comes out of an egg? That sounds WORSE. 

I know it hasn’t aged well, but even the original Honey Bee Inn was a highlight for my growing up.  I didn’t ever see it as gay panicky.  It’s always been a strange detour that celebrated people on the fringe and I’ve always loved it for that.

They were able to do sharp ray tracing at 60fps in Ratchet & Clank, it seems like they have strong developers. I don't doubt they can do this.

Chocobo breeding was a pretty important feature of the original game

Yeah, you pick him up in Rocket Town after passing through the Nibel Mountains where you fight the Materia Keeper that is in the slideshow. I suspect Cid and Vincent will both be guest characters a la Red XIII in the last game, so that the devs still have some new playable characters to introduce in part 3.

Not sure how Red XIII on a chocobo didn’t make the list, but it might be the single most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

It might be due to Yuffie and Vincent?

And people were upset that Remake was just Midgar.

Yes indeed! Because in JRPGs, the NPC class are the filthy peasant class, and our heroes, the player characters, have better things to do than play police officer and open a case on these creeps!

Yeah, there’s a lot to cover between Midgar and the Forgotten Capital. And apparently the “order we visit locations” will differ from the original story due to plot shifts? They were pretty geographically linear, so I wonder what kind of oddities we’ll be looking at...

I’m a little worried this game is gonna be too big.

Am I right in thinking that you usually would have Cid at some point in this section of the original game? I wonder when he’l become playable?

why?? These are all playable character from the original. It is only missing Cid which I’m guessing they are keeping him for the last game.
