I’m skeptical they could do a proper remake. The FF7 remakes, while they do have some fun bits and highlights, are so unbearably silly they were an absolute slog to get through. And, maybe this is me going old, the combat system is so flashy I can’t tell what’s going on half the time.
The amount of times sephiroth is just dangled in front of you pissed me off. Not 10 minutes in its like "ooooohhhh here's scary sword boy, look at him!!!!"
God I hated that so much. Im getting angry just thinking about it. The pacing in the original game to introduce him was what made him such a legendary bad guy, especially thinking Shinra is the main thing in the game, and then, oh, wait, nope, who tf is this guy? Oh, he's an evil piece of crap, got it.
Nope, end of the first remake game, not even 5 hours of the original story, here's the main villain in the game as the final boss. Ruined the whole thing for me.
I haven't played either of the 7 remakes and though they sound cool, I'm kind of not interested in going back there. Almost like I loved it too much. 8 though, could well be worth a rego.
Second remake game was decent. Part one is extremely meh.
Yeah, that was the vibe I got. I don't think I'll bother. So many games in the backlog anyway.
