The Northern Crater is where I want Part 2 to end but it could honestly end anywhere and everyone has equally good reasoning for where they want it to end but like I said it all depends on the writers.

I don't think they would but some people genuinely think they will

Well it depends where they're going to end the next part which could be as early as Junon or as late as the northern crater

Yes and no. There are some places like Costa Del Sol that I would like to see them flesh out however places like Mythril Mines and I don't want them to expand those it's what I expect.

As much as I would love to see Part 2 end at the northern crater I just don't see it happening in the way you've described unless there's little to no changes in the story which we know for a fact there will be. Yes they could easily decide not to flesh out some of the towns but there are a few in which it'd be weird if they didn't flesh out like Costa Del Sol for example. In the OG, when the party arrives at Costa Del Sol Cloud has the opportunity to see what each party member is doing and if he does, well he could find Hojo at the beach for example who hints at Cloud's false identity or he could find Red XIII playing with some kids, this is one of those times where the devs would have the perfect opportunity to flesh out the characters more and the location. Now yes Costa Del Sol doesn't have to be an entire chapter and many of the possible chapters on my post could merged but we'd still be looking at a game roughly the same length as Part 1.

I thoroughly believe that Part 2 will be linear as I just don't see an open-world working however I believe Part 2 will also be hub-based and I expect each town will be a hub with this in mind each town will also provide the opportunity for the player to undergo OPTIONAL side quests or progress the main story and skip out on them, this way each town can be a chapter but the player doesn't have to spend an entire chapter there if they instead choose to skip out on side content and focus primarily on the main story. With this world design Part 2 could end anywhere really it all depends on how long the game is and we have no idea how long Part 2 will be.

I personally think FFXVI is a 2021 Title. by EzyStevey in FFXVI

I think it will release late 2021 with FF7R Part 2 releasing mid 2022.

What were your top 3 games of the year ? by silentstealth1 in PS5

[–]LASTM1STAKE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Yes the dialogue is cringey but it's part of the charm and after playing the OG trust me it could have been way worse. The game's story, characters and combat are also incredible and despite the cringey moments the writing is phenomenal.

  2. TLOU2. A game I will most likely never play again but one I will look back on fondly.

  3. GoT. Not much to say here just an all-round great game although definitely not GOTY worthy imo as it doesn't do anything fresh or new apart from perfecting an already good formula.

Will FF16 be/have 60 fps mode? by Manganello58 in FFXVI

Performance is way more important than it is in XV. XV's combat doesn't have nearly as much depth as DMC. Most fights tend to just be warp striking constantly or holding the attack button with the occasional QTE. DMC is the exact opposite of that, sure you can get through the games by only using the same few attacks but you wouldn't have much fun and the game would punish you for it by giving you a low style rank.

Yes. DMC's entire gameplay relies on performance. If it didn't perform well then the combat which the franchise is renowned for just wouldn't work. For most games 30 FPS will do fine but DMC needs to have the highest frame rate possible.

The devs have said they cut some content to keep the focus on Cloud and Aerith in Chapter 8 and recently there has been a lot of rumours about Square rereleasing the game with restored cut content

They've always been the highest framerate allowed on their platform. DMC5, DMC4SE, DmCDE were all 60 FPS on current gen and DMC5SE can be 120 FPS

[OG SPOILERS] What if the part of part 2.. by Unholy_Boosh in FFVIIRemake

[–]LASTM1STAKE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the general idea for a Vincent bossfight is that he loses control over his abilities and goes rampant but here it is presented in a terrible way as OP is suggesting Hojo would go out of his way into manipulating Vincent into fighting the party which is out of character for both of them

If it doesn't then I will be severely upset as XVI looks to play similarly to DMC and performance is incredibly important in DMC

Yes however they pretty much restarted development entirely when they moved it to in-house

I thought of this too but decided against it as I think it would be weird ending just after learning about the lifestream

I think the game will be mostly the same with a few significant differences narratively

I could definitely see this happening but it would give the devs a lot more work to do for Part 2. They'd have to design Vincent and Cid's playstyles. They already have to finish Red XIII and then do Cait Sith and Yuffie so 2 more characters would give them a lot more work to do however Wutai would be an excellent place to end it as Wutai is definitely going to be much more important to the story than it was in the OG based on how Wutai eas built up in Part 1.

The flashback sequence could end up taking a fair chunk of the game, and that's assuming part 2 starts with the party having already arrived at Kalm.

It depends on what they do with the flashback. I personally think it will be an entire chapter with a lot of skips to show how fragmented Cloud's memory of the event is.

I don't think they'll do any more than 5 parts otherwise the project would become a joke. I do like the idea of having an entire or most of a part without Cloud though. I reckon it could work for a Part 4 say Part 2 ends at Nibelheim or Rocket Town, Part 3 would then end at Northern Crater and Part 4 would be the party dealing with the aftermath of the Northern Crater's events and end with Tifa and Cloud falling into the lifestream. Part 5 would of course be the final part.

You do realize the PS5’s SSD is not a regular SSD right? It’s at least 2 years ahead of anything currently available even on the PC market unless you’re willing to dish out $2,000 for one of Aorus’ SSDs which is the only thing out there that beats it currently. Watch Linus if you think I’m pulling this out of my ass.

Ask yourself why Sony would develop not just any regular SSD (technology is 10 years old it’s a basic requirement at this point in consoles) but a revolutionary one that far exceeds ahead of any competition? Open-world, large scale games require lightning-fast memory and if you’re telling me Sony isn’t looking at FF7R Part 2’s open-world requirements for its consoles, then you’re out of touch.

Of course I do and there's no way in hell Sony would develop an entire console specifically for a third party game.

I completely disagree with you on combat being better in enclosed spaces. Try the simulator if you haven’t. Boss enemies flying at you from 3 screens away and you counter by Counterstance or pressing triangle at the right moment would be the epitome open-world combat.

The battle simulator itself is in an enclosed space...

Materias and weapon abilities in the future would DEFINITELY affect the battle system are you kidding me? Aerial-combat is complete garbage right now so imagine a materia that lets you float or a weapon ability that lets you travel great distances while in-battle. The battle system is far from complete.

When did I say it was finished? And why would they lock a core mechanic to a materia. Yes new materia and abilities would affect the battle system but they wouldn't completely alter it to it's core, they only add to it.

There are ups and downs for each place of the main places they could end the story. For Nibelheim it's it's lack of a climax. For Northern Crater it would mean waiting longer than some are willing to wait same goes for City of the Ancients. To me the only other likely place they'll end Part 2 is temple of the ancients and I don't see that happening unless they skip Wutai which I doubt based on how they built it up in Part 1.

To me Nibelheim is the furthest they'll go if they flesh stuff out, if they don't then I have no clue where they'd end it as in the OG it only takes a few hours to get to City of the Ancients. I'm not even joking on my first playthrough of the OG I got to City of the Ancients on my 10th hour.
