Because turned based is boring as hell. I haven’t touched a turn based game in a veeeeery long time. It’s quaint, when it’s an older game, but if you throw that shit into a modern game it will tank as fast as Charlie’s Angels.

But seriously. The way they have it designed seems to be purely aimed at dumb fucking dopamine junkies. FFVII shouldn't be played like Metal Gear Rising.

They have a "classic" mode but it's essentially the same from what I see. It really comes off as a cash grab.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I can tell you right now the only game I have played that’s turn based, and enjoyed, in the last ten years was Lost Odyssey. The rest have been a chore to me.

A message from the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE team:

As we prepare for the release of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE on April 10, we wanted to keep you updated on how the proactive measures being taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus are likely to affect the distribution and retail landscape in western regions at launch.

As you will be aware, many countries are limiting entry or closing their national and state borders and restricting the distribution and delivery of non-essential items. Understandably these restrictions are being implemented so that essential items can reach their destination as fast as possible.

This does not mean that box copies of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will not be dispatched, it just means that we cannot control the date the game may arrive.

In many countries and states, retail stores are closing to help with social distancing measures. If you placed a pre-order with one of these retailers, we advise you to check their websites for the latest information about the status of pre-orders, as well as pick-up and/or delivery information. Please ensure your mailing address and contact details are up to date, as some retailers have begun contacting customers with delivery updates.

Finally, we are currently making arrangements to ensure that pre-orders from the SQUARE ENIX STORE reach you by April 10.

We are working hard to ensure as many of you as possible can play the game on April 10 and will update further when we have more information.

Thank you for your continued support and most importantly, stay safe.

Our in an hour and a half, anyone picking it up? I read it's about 45 hours in total... but the whole approach to this is so hammy with the completely dogshit acting I've seen in it. I'm going to wait for a big discount. I can't believe there's retards out there dropping two bills on it to get that worthless PAK figure.

I have it coming from amazon. It’s gonna be a fun game, because I never really cared for the original honestly. And I’ve liked most of the FF games since FFX came out.

I’m actually enjoying it a lot. My only issue is locking the item use behind the atb gauge. That’s a really jarring thing. I haven’t played many jrpgs that have had that kind of restriction. It’s gotten me killed a few times.

Speaking of this game, the play arts figures finally came up for pre-order. I only want Cloud and Tifa. Until Sephiroth comes out at least.

I’m sorry… what?

You already did enough damage to the game and it miraculously still turned out good. Don’t take that in stride and go MORE woke, because you think The Last of Us Part 2 has set some kind of great example.

It hasn’t.

It straight up removed the main protagonist and made every female virtually unlikable, initially, with the exception of Ellie—obviously. It’s not until your second playthrough that you care for the remainder of the cast at all. They killed the main character. And teased his inclusion in the game. Who does that?

It’s a heavily flawed story. The characters are forcibly diverse to the point that it’s almost gag inducing. If they would have put gameplay and story first, with maybe a few social justice aspects littered here and there, albeit with some subtlety, no one would have cared.

And there’s no sex appeal. For women or men. Sorry, but that’s kind of the bread and butter of a lot of Japanese properties. Saying that you’re going to be more like Naughty Dog and be “diverse” with your future projects is just poison to our ears. We don’t want to hear garbage like that.

Stop shitting where you eat, you stupid fucks. I thought Japan had more balls than this. Cretins.

Oy vey!

I wonder who is guiding hands at Capcom now.

Capcom has been going western and woke for a while now. Square Enix would do well to not follow that example. The games will take a huge hit.

Why does the Square-Enix store sell their figures for the suggested retail price aimed at domestic merchants? It’s their figures. The prices shouldn’t be $154.99. That’s just ludicrous. At most, the figures should be tossed up at around $120.

You’re charging import fees on your own products… that you are selling directly. You’re only pushing people towards getting them off of AmiAmi and HLJ. And then, if they sell out, most people would rather go to BBTS, for the pile-of-loot and the flat rate shipping alone.

I just don’t get some of these business decisions. At least find a happy medium. I’d say $135 wouldn’t be too bad.

I thought about picking this up on sale but I saw the Intergrade edition is only on PS5. I guess I'll wait until I can play it on PC I guess since PS5 is a complete waste of money. Although I heard the PC port of this is horribly unoptimized and choppy.

I started playing the original on PS4 today. I forgot you can play at 3x game speed. Such a quality of life upgrade to make leveling up so much less boring. I just had the plate fall on sector 7.

I had the strategy guide somewhere in my house for this I was going to use since I don't remember the game perfectly, but I found an online PDF of it.

I want to beat Ruby and Emerald since I've never done that the half dozen or so times I completed it. From what I remember, the best way is to have Knights of the Round and make everyone Mime it until they die.

The pc port will get fixed. I don’t really think Intergrade is essential, to be honest. I could take it or leave it. I just want part 2.
