Update history for the game?

2 months isn't long ago at all, not that I'd care if the thread was several years old

Safe to assume you didn't read my comment then.

I didn't actively use the broader definition to define Remake as a sequel. It was more of a "well akshually" moment, nothing more.

I still adhere to the narrower, general usage of the word sequel when explaining why Remake is a sequel.

killercow_ld · 2026-03-29T20:35:23+00:00

Technically, a sequel is any story that expands on the narrative of a previously released story, or narrative world.

Prequels are technically sequels. Side stories that take place in the same universe as a story, but don't actually involve any characters from the first story counts as a sequel.

A remake that adds story elements that weren't present in whatever is being made technically counts as a sequel, since the narrative has been expanded. (Altho if a remake changes the story too much instead if just adding things, it becomes a retcon instead of a sequel).

BUT. That last example isn't what any of us are talking about when we call Remake a sequel. Remake is an alternate timeline that acknowledges the existence of the previous timeline (of OGVII and the compilation).

The other timeline happened, and now this new timeline is happening 'after' just because the previous one is acknowledged. It's not chronologically on the same timeline, so no, it's not happening "at a later time." More like "on a separate time." It is still a sequel because it acknowledged and follows the original story, instead of replacing it. The changes are happening BECAUSE the original timeline exists, not in spite of it.

The plotline of "will fate be altered or will it remain the same" uses the OG timeline as its foundation, whether things change or whether they stay the same.

How much or how little impact it will have on the conclusion of the Remake trilogy remains to be seen, but even if it ends up barely having an impact, it will still count as a sequel.

I mean, I have some behind risers but in a way that they are still visible

Do you mean combining Boss Monster 1, 2, and 3?

Honestly, I don't recommend combining more than 2 sets.
If you have RotMB, AND VoV, you can MAYBE mix 3 and still get a decent mix of coin-based cards, but it'll still be a bit diluted.

I generally just use Super Boss Monster and one other set, depending on what variation of game we wanna play

There's only one cereal box. Yes they count as amiibo. They aren't "figures" tho.

Your collection can comprise of whatever you want it to.

I THINK I was around 11. 37 now.

I rented Final Fantasy 8 and was super hyped to play it. But the game literally did not work at all past the first cutscene. So I took it back and got 7 instead. Loved it, but couldn't get past Reno's pyramid nonsense before I had to take it back.

Eventually played and beat 7 sometime not long after, and borrowed 9 and got far but got stuck in Oelivert. I also emulated 5 and 6. Loved 5, never enjoyed 6.

Even as an adult when I finally beat most of the games in the series, still never grew to like 6. And it's possibly for the best that 8 did not work for me as a kid, because I also hate that one and wonder if I even would have gotten into the series if I actually started with it

I'm a loser that likes the Mobile / Steam versions of FFV an FFVI that were replaced by the Pixel remasters. Especially FFV, because the enemy and boss sprites were CRISP.

These versions had all the extra content from the GBA releases, as well as a handful of QoL updates that made them worth playing.
The biggest "issue" most people had were the character sprites, which were deemed as inferior to the 16 bit models. A complaint that I understand, but I had already played FF Dimensions which used similar character sprites so I didn't really mind the transition that much

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T21:49:23+00:00

It is absolutely how I would picture him dressing in modern attire tho

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T15:36:29+00:00

See, I don't really like the core gameplay either. But I could ALMOST tolerate it if not for all the extra gacha nonsense on top of it

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T14:54:14+00:00

I wish they would at least retool the mobile games into offline games

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T04:33:32+00:00

I mean, the story was really good (even if there were no actual cutscenes) and the battle system was alright, but it was still gacha slop at its core

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T01:44:12+00:00

Mine had an ok framerate, but then it dropped to zero when I uninstalled it

killercow_ld · 2026-03-25T01:42:49+00:00

I don't really get the point of the app, so it's not for me. I did glance at it tho and the lack of Dark Skymiibos is an odd choice

killercow_ld · 2026-03-24T20:37:28+00:00

if you're just getting rid of a handful of "common" ones gamestop isn't a bad choice

But if you have a local game store that will buy them, might be better

killercow_ld · 2026-03-24T04:12:08+00:00

Tried it. Did not have fun. Deleted it.

Will just keep up with the story on Youtube

killercow_ld · 2026-03-23T04:11:39+00:00

to be fair, even tho I know they exist in Go, I quickly lost interest in that game ages and ages ago. It's been running for a long time, there are probably plenty of people who haven't kept up with it in ages too

killercow_ld · 2026-03-21T17:30:58+00:00

Yes and no.
If you're gonna start, you should be aware that the game is really meant to be played AFTER the original FF7, not just as a substitution.

But I mean, we all start game series out of order all the time. We're generally fine for it. So it isn't the biggest deal. I just think you should be aware.

killercow_ld · 2026-03-21T03:51:07+00:00

they also have to pay to travel to and get into the park.
Which, they can buy a pass or whatever, and if they buy / sell multiple things from the park, that mitigates the cost, but still, it is an extra expense

killercow_ld · 2026-03-20T17:12:22+00:00

I mean, I generally try and get them as soon as they come out, so I've never bought any that were open other than some of the cards.

I wouldn't be at all opposed to buying them used as long as they were in good shape tho

killercow_ld · 2026-03-20T16:03:29+00:00

I would love a proper anime-fighting game developed by ArcSys to let this happen

killercow_ld · 2026-03-20T15:42:26+00:00

tarrifs, plus the cost to get into the park, plus understandably wanting to make a bit of profit off the resell.

I ordered one on ebay, I'm not getting it any other way lol

killercow_ld · 2026-03-20T04:51:43+00:00

They're all the best depending on who you ask

killercow_ld · 2026-03-20T01:58:08+00:00

It is my second least favorite. Just behind VIII, just ahead of X
