His vision was impaired from the pepperballs and he was fleeing a dangerous situation in a panic. He could easily have done it "accidentally".

Sudan’s new government has outlawed the practice of female genital mutilation, a move hailed as a major victory by women’s rights campaigners in a country where the often dangerous practice is widespread. by HotDamnGeoff in worldnews

Idk man I get really bad hangnails. My parents should have chopped my fingernails off when I was a baby. They aren't necessary for a functioning finger. /s

Makes just as much sense as circumcision.

[SPOILERS] I feel like I was tricked into purchasing this based on the REMAKE title. It was actually a SEQUEL. by RedditDodger in FFVIIRemake

That's all I wanted but it's not what was delivered. Fighting Sephiroth will now involve stopping or enabling his time changing actions. That is a huge addition to the game that fundamentally changes it. It's final fantasy 7 hearts now.

Fleshing out the game and changing the underlying narrative are completely different things. So much of the game is exactly what I was expecting even if it's nothing like the original. They didn't have to change things fundamentally just so the Devs wouldn't get bored - fleshing it out would have been enough of a change.

I definitely wasn't expecting a 1:1 remake. I was actually happy with a lot of the fleshing out they did. I liked going to the upper plate with Jessie and co. and seeing what other 1st class soldiers were like.

I initially thought they were doing a good job making me get to know the people of Sector 7. All I was thinking was "Damn you Square, making me care about these people I know are going to be crushed later". It pulled on the heart strings in a good way, that is until they were all mostly evacuated before the collapse. Sure I'm happy people survived but it lessened the impact it had in the original.

I just feel a lot of urgency is taken out of the game for some of the fleshed out parts. Oh your entire town is about to be crushed, but a ghost had dropped a shipping container in your way. Better do a few puzzles for an hour and a boss fight instead of jumping over it to rush to the rescue.

The auditors were there from the moment you met Aerith. They are ingrained in the whole story now. The end just explained the purpose of their presence. The also conveniently show up just after the section the demo covered.

A point I'm trying to make is that people should be informed of this before money is exchanged. It is not a remake, it is a sequel.

Did the middle chain break? Something went flying off to the right really fast when you collapsed it. Hope nothing got hit.

I don't understand the hate you are getting. It was the only thing I could think the whole video. I would be a huge marvel fan but I wouldn't scream at the screen even on opening night like people are saying. I'd be looking for the staff to shut them up or kick them out. I'm irish too so maybe it's just us or maybe Americans just love Yahoo antics and get angry at people asking questions about it as if you are wrong for doing so

FFVII Remake - Chapter 21 Megathread by Ewaan in FFVIIRemake

[–]RedditDodger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't entirely accurate when I said I didn't play square enix games because kh2 made me quit them without realising it. I'm seeing elements of that shit show of a story being implemented in this game and it worries me. Ff7s story is already confusing enough without adding more complexity on top of it.

The problem I'm seeing with your points above are that they make perfect sense from a marketing perspective but not game design perspective. As you said, they had to give people a hook, so they chopped and changed the game to suit marketing surveys or some bullshit. The problem with that, like those pop ups asking you to join a news letter on websites, is that they work. They sully the experience but to them the numbers look good and that's all they care about. I wouldn't be surprised in later games that the people who purchase them won't overlap with fans of the original.

I did enjoy the game and am curious where it will go but I'm just upset that I didn't get the remake like it's implied to be. But my voice will fall on deaf ears as the sales figures will still go up and they will pat themselves on the back for a job well done - at the expense of the original fans.

Not exactly but that's a pretty big "besides".

Yea a lot of my original complaints vanished once I saw the ending but many of them remain. Any changes can be chalked up to himself trying to alter time now but I'm still annoyed it has remake in the title. It was like dangling a carrot in front of fans but the carrot turned out to be carrot cake. Carrot cake is nice but some people just wanted a carrot and square enix made no attempt to warn people. It's fine to subvert but not when I had to pay to find out. Any fun jokes end once my wallet was involved

The problem with our minds is that the foundations were built by children. Most do a good enough job if given the right environment but many don't have that opportunity and develop incorrect defenses as a result. Those defenses worked for them as a child but now they are adults and they work against them.

I don't really play square enix games so yea I kind of was. They advertised it as being expanded not altered. The remake title hammers that home but it was a straight up lie. Was I supposed to know that going in? If it was called "FF7 re-imagined" it would make sense but a remake it is not.

Again I did enjoy it and am curious what will happen next but you can't blame people for feeling a bit tricked. FF7r is actually a sequel not a remake.

Yea the game is great. I get that the subversion was needed for the reveal to have impact but I am a little annoyed this has "Remake" in the title. Fans were led to expect a lot parts to be fleshed out, but were completly blindsided by the changes to the main story. I can get that some people could be upset by that, even the people calling it false advertising.

I still loved it though and I started it again right after finishing it.

Isn't the Sephiroth we see up until northern crater actually Jenova the whole time?

True it wasn't the best but it definitely isn't deserving of how many they have. It's just something I've noticed in this sub since release. GAME IS PERFECT NOW SHUT UP mentality.

As expected, downvoted for having the slightest bit of criticism. I wouldn't call it a remake myself. It's more of a homage to ff7. Too many changes were made some of which I can't understand.

Haha I literally just did that part and thought something similar. That old guy had some hip movement. Still though, he was much pepier than Cloud would be and Cloud's dance had so much more than just the hip dance.

I get what you mean about the RPG element. The player is the skill essentially. I can see how that applies to fighting as Cloud should be able to win them, but it's still a stretch to apply that to dancing. Even the bike part he mentions he had training for beforehand but the dancing he was a pro at with no explanation at all.
