  • Cold take, I know, but I think FFVIIR is a falsely advertised sequel.

    • agreed, it was a clever bait-and-switch-with-an-out

      "no, remake doesn't stand for REMAKE ... it stands for RE-MAKE the story, completely, like .. history is being REMADE! it's time travel baby!"

      they knew what they were doing; literally EVERYONE was expecting a close remake of the original game for modern consoles, instead we got a FINE and VERY COOL SEQUEL, but nothing close to the REMAKE they led people to believe.

    • What do you mean by falsely advertised?

        • Spoilers

        Major story changes and can only take place after the original has already happened. It's a retread, but a sequel nonetheless. They explicitly said in interviews and such that it would be a faithful remake (despite additions).

        • Oh I know it's a sequel. I just didn't know what you meant by the rest.

          Personally I was pleasantly surprised it was a sequel and I'm glad it wasn't advertised as so. As I started realising that the little changes weren't just because of them taking creative liberty on the source material but instead something more and still in-universe to the original, the cogs in my head couldn't stop turning as I was trying to figure out what was actually happening. I liked that feeling as I was playing.

          I enjoyed the game more because it was a sequel and because they didn't tell us before hand and now that the cat is out of the bag and I'm already hooked in, I am sooo excited for the next games in the series.

          • I found it to be pretty anti-consumer, but no beef if you enjoyed that.

            Anyway, here's hoping it ages well like MGS2.
