General Discussion / Re: FF7 Remake: Impressive or Disappointing?

Yes it was a huge let down.

Unnecesary character additions/plot deviations, voice acting was cringeworthy and pacing was terrible.The world felt smaller and less real/involving
 
A remaster would have sufficed, but this is a new game entirely and in my opinion has nothing on the original.

Awful awful awful. After waiting an eternity for this remake, what a huge disappointment.

I've sold my copy and will never be revisiting this abomination again.

Square Enix need to take a good hard look at themselves.

I don't like how they have Barret wearing shades.

The original Barret would never wear shades, he was a practical, realistic guy who was not interested in "street cred" He certainly wouldn't wear sunglasses in a place as dark as midgar.

Very dry

I think the game needs to grow up.

That means, real physics, real characters.

I know the game is essentially fantasy, but it still needs to be somewhat plausible, especially in today's more adult audience.

Personally... I would like to see a turn towards the more realistic and an abandonment of come of the more ridiculous aspects of the original game.

Combat, for example could be more similar to that employed in "Mass Effect", while Materia would be a genuine scientific product as hinted at in the original game with some sort of electro chemically focused energy.

These just happen to take the properties of various elements etc and can be used to upgrade weapons with these properties.

"Summons" are superfluous and unnecessary and detract from the overall game IMO.

Likewise the "Weapons" should have been constructed by the Cetra, and not the planet.

Ultimately what  would like to see is  a story with more depth and credibility. More science, less ridiculousness and real-time combat done correctly. I.e swords are useless unless close up, so cloud should use a gun for the most part unless he employs some sort of shield, i.e mass effect
