I’m looking forward to this but I hope people come to this game with realistic expectations.

They improved the visuals and characters models but this still a remaster of PSP game, the level design is very small and combat is simple because of its PSP origin.

Why do people still do soyface on these videos?

Anyway I played this game during the pandemic on PSP, I remember playing it while waiting to go into the grocery store, lol what a time.

I thought it was cool and liked the combat more than I did in FF7R. It’s a good game but I am not sure how it is going to go over in 2022 on consoles and PC.

Seems like it would be perfect on Steam Deck tbh given the PSP roots.

Again, FTFY.
Not really Switch 2 perhaps but Switch can’t even run 20 year old PC ports like KOTOR well at this point. It’s a shame too because the Steam deck can’t hold a candle to Nintendo’s hardware design but the system is far more capable.

You realize that's more due to Aspyr not all that great at optimizing ports, right?

Couldn't give a damn about some dude reacting. Faceless gameplay and side by side comparisons? Great! A guy making an "O" face? Hard, hard pass.

Why the hell are reaction vids a thing? Do people really care how someone OVER reacts to a game? Isnt it better to simply see what the game looks and plays like?

Maybe Im just old.

It’s plain Youtube meta. The O-face reaction actually works great with the recommendation engine and boosts visibility. People do it just to game the system.

That guy was a member here once back in the day. Also he's VERY passionate/soylent over anything FF VII related. In the subcategory of "VII" fan not an FF fan.

I'm actually pre ordering this on PS5 day one. I must be out of my fucking mind.
 
God Zack’s voice is atrocious. I don’t care if that’s rude.

That being said, I’m overall very impressed by the visual upgrades, updated CG portraits, updated CG summon sequences, and the revamped (thank goodness) battle system. Diehard FF fan so I’ll be getting this… though I didn’t like the story back in 2007 as an 11-year-old so I’ll probably despise it now lol

FF7 is one of my all time great gaming memories. Never even looked at this game before as i thought it was some crappy arcade spin off for PSP, am I wrong about this?

Awesome game at the time, today I have to wonder if the level design limits of that portable era translates decently to home console. Btw best ff7 spin off so far regardless of the shortcomings.

You don't have to care obviously, but you clearly don't know who Max is, otherwise you would know about his reaction vids and his support on FF, specially the VII series.

Maybe post some context to the video rather than just embedding it then. If he is some kind of FF7 expert and you gave that context, then people might think differently of it. Those that already know are probably interested enough to have subbed to his YT channel and will see it anyway.

It looks to be a pretty good remaster. After some of the previous SE remaster works I was pretty reluctant but based on previews and what I’ve seen so far I am quite positive about this one.

Zack's new voice actor is absolutely horrible. It had a huge negative impact on my time with the game. Thr delivery is wooden, flat and I blame both the direction and the actor. As if that's not enough his voice is just naturally nasal and annoying to listen to. God awful choice.

I shudder to think about him showing up more in Part 2.

The improved combat system is super fun though.

Wow Squenix. You're really expecting people to have already played CC by releasing a trailer like this.

I don't think there was a single twist that wasn't spoiled here.

No thanks, all the FF7 extended universe stuff has just retroactively made the original worse. That trailer was some Kingdom Hearts-level cringe.

They're notorious for doing this in all their Final Fantasy marketing. Just something to remember for XVI. They spoiled mainline games multiple times.

Not only that but 13 Sentinels, Persona 5 Royal and Nier Automata are modern games that run great on Switch. I remember playing Nier Automata on Steam when it came out and the game was optimized poorly. My PC build should be able to handle that game back than. So I agree Power isn't everything. I'm curious how the Crisis Core Remastered runs on Switch though.

But hey they will keep blaming it on Switch hardware when it's just third parties being lazy lol

By the way, is Gackt still voicing genesis in this? If anything they would probably have to pay him licensing rights for using the character.

(Edit). Yep, he is.

They should have remade all CGI cutscenes in real time. Those badly upscaled videos will look bad in this remake. Hope they have remade, at least, the Angeal vs Genesis vs Sephiroth battle, probably one of the TOP10 cutscenes in any Final Fantasy.

The story in that game was awful and I don't see the battle system working well without major changes. Likely going to pass.

Pretty much a big nope for me. Played the original and didn't enjoy it and all I had to do was hit x to win xD. I'll wait for the 10 dollar version.
