but the problem is "hammer Square until thing dies" works WAY too well for every enemy in the demo except the boss...

Which is the case for pretty much every other RPG/Action RPG lol. You rarely struggle and have the need to come up with strategies for random encounters. So yeah, no surprise here tbh.

And before anyone jumps at me barking moderation - you'll note Ric couldn't stop himself..

They're not gonna jump on you over such a weak response. (I hope).

I mean, being called a retard by a special needs, medicated, basement dwelling, acne survivor is amusing.

Holy cow...  they're making it in parts each charging a full amount and you guys are happy to bend over for them.

Holy cow y'all bending over with those 59$!

Really? Would you like a donation? I'm sure we could start a GoFundMe campaign or some crap. I hear people with disabilities tend to find support in those so I'm sure we'd be able to get you all those parts without you ever having to see the sun and risk the nasty breakouts.

you're not going to convince me

Of course not. They could release the absolute best game ever known to mankind and you would still not be convinced. As I said, you hated the remake and got emotional about it before there was even anything to hate on.

No. One. Cares.

Your opinion changes nothing. The game(s) will be released, some people are going to have a blast, others are not going to enjoy it and put it aside, and then there's gonna be the (hopefully) small group of people like you, who are gonna spend their time (which is more valuable than the 59$ anyone will spend on it) obsessing about it, writing 1000 word reviews no one will read, crying their eyes out, private messaging people whom might somehow make them feel like they're not alone in their obsession, and being miserable in general.

Enjoy! That's my last shot at you unless properly provoked to go any further.

Dear mods, feel free to clean up. Cause I won't edit anything out. I've said what I've said.

I don't think insults will get us anywhere either.  In my limited experience, it seems to usually cause the other party to dig in their heals further.  I've found street epistemology to be much more effective

You're not wrong. I have no sympathy and even less restraint when it comes to dealing with entitled, narcissistic people with a history of toxic behavior behavior.

I'm fully aware it's an unproductive type of response so if you or any mod woukd like to edit/remove anything I posted, I fully understand and will hold no hard feelings at all.

I'm in the military too and I'm yet to have a female player lay it on me.

Edit: currently responding lol

They're amateurs. Silly, goofy, much like in the original? It showcases perfectly why they needed to hire Cloud.
Biggs himself says that Cloud is a professional, unlike them.

I actually found the dialogue to be quite good so far.  Amazing? Groundbreaking? Heartstopping? No.  But neither is the original.

Why do you even bother?

I mean, the dude that worships the dialogue of the original as the greatest thing ever written, is also the same dude that has spent years trying to fix it lol.

As for the people who think the combat system is basic and easy, I guess you forgot that you can best every single enemy in the original game by spamming X and an occasional cure spell or healing item. It doesn't get much more basic than that.

ike, if you read Game of Thrones, but don't like the show.  OK, cool.  So, only read the books then.  You don't have to watch.   You come off as hating it because you think people expect you to hate it.  But let me be the first to tell you... it's ok to be yourself.  You don't have to be who everyone expects you to be.  It's not healthy.

That's what you and most normal people do. Don't like something? Don't watch it, don't play it, next!

However, you're addressing an insane narcissist that actively brags about writing huge review rants that no one will ever read or give 2 craps about, and considers everyone with an opinion that differs from theirs to be less intelligent than himself.

he has been crying his eyes out for years and hating on the remake before there even was anything to hate on lol. Stopping now would be damaging to his little fragile ego so anything you say, unless negative, is irrelevant.

Also, I am clearly not being literal when saying he should be assassinated.  Only a total idiot trying to point score like a toddler or Democrat would think so, Ric.

That's hysterical considering you've posted the exact same calls for people's assassination in the past (regarding a different person), got called out by me (and others) and we both ended up having our posts deleted and warnings issued. At least own it. You would still look pathetic, but less so.

Now go take your medication and don't forget to apply the acne cream.

Aw crap. I'ma get that Warned status again lol.

Oh well.

The demo has 11087 reviews in the US PSN Store and a 5 star rating, 9307 reviews in the EU PSN Store and again, a 5 star rating.

It's not "reviewer hype". People are genuinely enjoying it.

Maybe not better (due to my own nostalgia goggles), but still surprisingly good.

But look, does it HAVE to be better? It's an entirely different game. Obviously the story is (mostly) the same but it's an entirely new game-play experience, entirely new visuals, entirely new voice acting. To me, it won't be better or worse, it will be different. And no matter how much I love the remake, I'm 100% sure I will end up replaying the original multiple times after it.
The original is going nowhere.

Like, is it nostalgia? Or something deeper?

Both.

I mean, one person shared his opinion of the game and listed his criticisms, which is perfectly ok and although I don't agree, I see nothing wrong with it. The other called for the assassination of another human being so yeah... There's definitely some deep issues there. lol.

Just finished the demo. Combat is VERY fun. An auto lock-on would be welcome when switching to Barret though. Graphics are great obviously (at least on the Pro model) and there weren't any intrusive loading screens.

There's a few tweaks to the story. Not changes necessarily. There's a big moment after the first boss that could've definitely taken place in the original as well but you never hear about it.

Overall... Day one purchase.

« on: 2020-02-02 15:39:53 »

There's not going to be any remake modding until (if it does at all) the game is released for PC. The console version will most likely never be able to be modded as there is no proper way to run modified/unsigned code on current-gen consoles.

SD will be able to do much that the PS4 cannot, but this presents a glaring issue: What about PS4 users?? I cant imagine they'll be too happy about being forced to upgrade to PS5 in order to play it.

Eh next generation consoles are not really necessary. Final Fantasy XV already has a GIGANTIC open world. Even though the loading times definitely do suck because of the HDD, it's still more than possible.

General Discussion / Re: Hey guys, I was wondering what the “definitive” version of Final Fantasy 7,8,9,

« on: 2019-11-11 15:52:27 »

I need to correct this FF7 is best on PS3 or PSX. The other version have the PC version as base. The thing is that the game might look cleaner in these versions but few things like FPS or the rendering of special effects are not correctly displayed or broken. That might be nitpicking but the PSX version is how the game was intended to be like.
R06 will hopefully address the FPS issue, but for the graphic effects there isn't a solution in sight. Maybe it's because it's less documented or that it isn't that obvious to see if you don't know how it should look like (though the strange looking shadow in battle is obvious).

To be fair, the PSOne version does have some bugs as well, including the M.Def stat bug which I believe is fixed in both the Steam and PS4 versions (as well as Switch and Xbox and so on). I would go with the PS4 version based on the fact it's pretty plug and play. Of course the same thing can be said for the PSN version on PS3, if you already have a ps3 set up, go for it. You can also play it on the PSP/Vita which in my opinion is way better than on the ps3 due to the portability factor. On a TV though... PS4 all day.

Either way, the game is amazing, you can't go wrong with any of the versions.

« on: 2019-11-09 19:13:12 »

The GBA version of FF6 is pretty awesome. The sound is meh compared to the SNES and PS1 versions but there are some sound "Restoration" mods if you plan on emulating.

The PS4 version of 10 is identical to the PS3 version with slightly improved textures. It looks better but as far as content, it's exactly the same thing.

7 on the PS4 is flawless. If you plan on modding, the steam version might interest you but if you can't be bothered, you'll enjoy the little quality of life improvements that the PS4 version has over the PS1. (3x turbo, no encounters, no load times).

8 and 9, while a great alternative to their PS1 counterparts, are not as amazing to look at on the PS4. The models and interface received a nice "HD look" but the game backgrounds did not. It's not terrible but it's not great either. Also, note that the PS4 version of Final Fantasy 9 does NOT have the same multiplayer options that the PS1 did. They do however have the turbo, no encounters, no load times benefits.

So, if I were to name the “definitive” versions, in my opinion, for the games you mentioned, they would be:

FF6: GBA
FF7: PS4
FF8: PsOne
FF9: PSOne
FF10: PS4

General Discussion / Re: Is Zidane the most powerful protagonist in the entire Final Fantasy Series?

« on: 2019-10-31 14:38:28 »

can't be killed without destroying their universe...so it's kinda a matter of what kind of God we are talking about to determine how broken lightning gets

It's exactly that kind of God. The whole storyline is a complex and long thing to get into but basically the present "realm" (or universe, whatever we choose to call it) gets destroyed, a new one gets formed and Lightning (with some help from the souls of humanity) defeats and locks that God away from the new world so that it doesn't rule over it and shape humanity in its view.

Even per the FF13 continuity power scales, she's beyond broken.

« on: 2019-10-28 03:22:32 »

I no nothing about what lightning is capable as her first game was not fun so I didn't finish it

Well she starts off somewhere around Cloud's level I'd say and ends up being beyond human and taking down actual gods. Not "god-like" beings, but actual gods. She's by far the most OP being in any Final Fantasy to date lol.

General Discussion / Re: Is Zidane the most powerful protagonist in the entire Final Fantasy Series?

« on: 2019-10-25 14:44:42 »

The Lightning at the end of Lightning Returns: FF13 stomps on the rest of the protagonists without any difficulty. It's not even close. Some guides have her at universal levels of power.
Noctis after the 10 years inside the Crystal would most likely get through Zidane effortlessly as well.

Besides, Zidane doesn't really have any great feats. All he has is potential. It was an absolutely enraged and out of control Kuja that destroyed a planet, there's no evidence Zidane would be able to do so or could be even pushed into into such a state of mind. Don't forget Beatrix beat the crap out of Zidane (and the rest of the party) multiple times without breaking a sweat.

"Full english support" that was a stupid advertisement remark.

Uh it wasn't a "stupid advertisement remark". It was a fact. A lot of people are under the impression that Play-Asia only ships Japanese games, which is incorrect. That was merely to clear any doubts that this physical version maybe would support Japanese only.
 
Is that really triggering? lmao.

Here's some more salt for you. Preferring an out-of-box experience doesn't equate to being lazy. Some folks just want to use their time elsewhere.

Absolutely. I didn't mean lazy in a negative way. More like "I don't have time for all this and just want to enjoy the game".

The Turbo option was in the 2013 version, too. I was surprised it wasn't in FF7 at all (except for the Switch version from what i've read).

Well I actually didn't know that the steam version of VIII had the turbo lol. FF7 on PS4 has the turbo too btw, I believe the same is true for the Xbox.

Have a karma +1  (because someone *cough cough*) is karma-bombing everyone these days out of spite.  Very honest, but still leaves me in the lurch being a PC'00 owner of FF8 and only a PS2 for consoles... I'll still have to wait for O8 it seems 

Haha yeah, there's a lot of salt around. Well this new version isn't "bad" by all means. While I do believe that the older versions with the right mods can end up looking better, for people who are too lazy to bother with modding and just want something that's ready to go out of the box... for 19.99$ it's still a good buy. Besides it's a matter of time before it goes on sale and drops to 14.99$ or something.
