impressions from a pal: there’s a fair bit of filler ‘hey cloud can you bring me 10 [item that drops from monster]’
spoilery stuff:
there’s a new bike section my friend described as ‘extremely anime’ + apparently i was correct and there’s already the beginnings of some kind of gamer meltdown re: a swerve ending
i looked into this because after the last trailer everyone was like 'they totally spoiled the end of the game!!! and i couldn’t remember enough of the plot of ff7 to tell what was a spoiler, and the gamer meltdown is both real + spectacular. i don’t think i really care or even understand why, so my main take away is it seems like if they want to draw in people who didn’t play ff7 the first time around, making the whole plot revolve around alternate timeline bullshit involving even more obscure ff7 spinoffs is… not a good way to go
i have heard some very very interesting things about the back third of this game oh boy i can not wait
I played the demo of this and good god I could not deal with that combat. Even the most boring turn-based system would be more enjoyable than this sub-Kingdom Hearts, weightless, mashed potato garbage. I wanted to be in for this but I just can’t. Also Barrett’s depiction feels super racist, wtf.

based on the demo and the trailers I think the worst outcome for this is like, a B-tier yakuza game with ridiculous production values, and I’ve increasingly been feeling lately that Nagoshi didn’t model how to make rightsized AAA games for Sega following the production collapse after the PS2, he did it for most of the Japanese industry as a whole.
If that turns out to be the case, well, I guess I might bump Kiwami 2 back down the list for another six months
but I did cancel my preorder after the demo then put it through again when I heard we could preload on Friday so 
yeah i’m really looking forward to this however it turns out
time to mute thread!
Did no one else try the Classic difficulty option in the demo? The battle system didn’t really resonate with me until I turned that on. That said, it doesn’t really feel like a difficulty mode so much as it does an option that should be available to any existing difficulty mode (it forces you to play on Easy).
I tried Classic and it just played the game for me, basically. It felt too passive to me.

that’s a joke but it has become increasingly clear to me through years that someone at square maybe nomura (its probably nomura) definitely envisions FF7 as the whole legacy of all final fantasy and necessitates it changing and blanching off a thousand times where the final fantasy seven highschole AU game wait that’s just FF8 an
