Corpse Run 526: Still excited, though
Soooooo the fact that I just so happened to start a FF7 run recently is quite the coincidence what with the remake having been announced. I don’t ever recall a time where everyone lost their minds all at once over a game, but that seems to be the case right now.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited and I plan of playing it… but I was excited for Advent Children too and really wasn’t a fan. Chances are I’m going to spit out the same criticisms you’ve heard ad-nauseam over the past two days, but here we go:
- there are too many slapstick humor moments that won’t work well in HD
- they might change the materia system
- they might alter the battle system to make it more accessible to people outside of the target market
- all of the charm of the original might covered up with dark, moody, emo stuff
One other note… Square, maybe if you made quality new Final Fantasy games you wouldn’t have to resort to a remake in order to get people excited about your releases. Heck, the last decent FF game was FFX and that came out nearly fourteen years ago.
Hopefully FFXIV is great, but I get the feeling now that it’ll be overshadowed by the FF7 remake.
Again, I’m totally buying it though.
ALSO ANNOUNCEMENT:
For me, the battle system will decide if I buy it or not. If it isn’t the good ol’ turn based system, I am not buying it. If I wanted to play a modern Final Fantasy like FFXIII, I’d probably have issues 😀
Your list left out
10-2
13-2 and 13-3
The COUNTLESS re-releases for various phones, handheld devices, ect for the games prior to 7
Final Fantasy the After Years
Dissidea
Dissidea 2
Type – O
Tactics Advanced
Chocobo’s Dungeon… I think there were 3? (which I guess were just spinoffs, but used the Moogle and Chocobo designs)
All in All. They’ve done A SHITTON of Final Fantasy games.
But they released a LOT more than you listed after FF7
Ofc. You did say “numbered”
But I thought it was odd to compare Non Numbered FF7 related games to only Numbered Final Fantasy games.
They haven’t stuck to -just- numbered games in quite some time. So it just seemed like a silly comparison.
“I think that would be boring so watch me torture myself for a few minutes! That should be fun, right?”
Yes Alex…yes it was xD
Also, screw ghost peppers, go for the Carolina Reapers!
They say the reason for the remake is because the youngest guy that worked on FF7 is now 45 years old. Basically, they’re getting to the point where they will be too old to work on it and didn’t want that to happen.
This was a really ill based comic. It’s incredibly biased and also outright a misdirection.
Typo there. You said hopefully XIV will be great. Which it is. I played it myself. MMORPG or not, it’s the most Final Fantasy-ish Final Fantasy since X. Heck, it’s more in tune with the original Final Fantasy universe than VII and VIII were. Dungeons and raid bosses aside it gives a very solid “console jRPG” experience. You liked Xenoblade you would like FFXIV.
Anyway, you probably meant to say “hopefully XV will be great”.
