Wtf I’m so annoyed

 

[Yoshichan]

Wtf I’m so annoyed

why

 

[Fake]

They cut FF from the last minute?

What a backstab from Sony to Square Enix.

They just gave it a dedicated event lol.

 

[Fake]

They just gave it a dedicated event lol.

What was the last time this happen? lol

They should let FF for the gran finale.

 

[Sephimoth]

Obviously I will watch and am really excited to play the game, but we've seen too much of this lol. Maybe a demo drop

 

[jm89]

 

[Katajx]

Yeah, it’s gonna be quite a blowout I imagine and more than the 2-3 minute trailer I expected. Might want to skip if you want to go in as blind as possible.

 

[kazuyamishima]

What was the last time this happen? lol

They should let FF for the gran finale.

They did the same for FF7 Remake and FFXVI

 

[Saber]

They just gave it a dedicated event lol.

I don't think that stops them from actually doing a sneak peak and then announced a dedicated one. Sounds lame imo.

 

[Bkdk]

There is no one in SE or sony that can sell and lie about games like todd howard does though, it would be interesting to see how they want to do this ff7 rebirth only state of play.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

why

Why is it on a separate day

Just show the footage today

 

[Mahavastu]

What was the last time this happen? lol

They should let FF for the gran finale.

They will have their own show, so they can show like 20-30 Minutes of the game instead of maybe 3-5 minutes today.

So far most of these "in depth" State of Plays were pretty good and showed a lot of details about the games in question...

 

[TheAssist]

I have to skip this one. God give me strength....
I dont want to see anymore of the game, I just want to play the game

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Gonna watch the 1st minute and then turn it off after that

 

[saintjules]

They cut FF from the last minute?

What a backstab from Sony to Square Enix.

/s? Couldn't tell.

Backstabbing by giving them their own State of Play next week? How much more do you need to see of this game? Lol

 

[jshackles]

I've already got my copy pre-ordered, will definitely check this out.

 

[Frwrd]

Gonna watch the 1st minute and then turn it off after that

 

[Elios83]

Good move to have a dedicated SoP.
I think they'll drop a demo there

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Okay that got a good laugh from me.

 

[Traxtech]

Its going to be littered with spoilers, and they'll drop the demo at the end.

 

[Frwrd]

Okay that got a good laugh from me.

 

[Paulxo87]

This is because IMO they want to surprise with the demo dropped in the same day. I think a complete month before release would be too much time for the demo to be out there. The sweet spot is likely 3 weeks

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Actually thought it was great they didn’t use up time on Rebirth since it’s been shown multiple times before. Looking forward to checking out more on the 6’th though!

 

[mortal]

Why is it on a separate day

Just show the footage today

It's getting a dedicated SoP that will go into more depth than it would otherwise had it been shown today.
How are you complaining about this?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Sounds about right, although I think a demo is kinda pointless with part 1 out - unless it's sole focus is to let people feel first hand how it's a bigger world.

 

[Danjin44]

I dont know if should watch this, we very close to release date, I dont want to spoil the game before it comes out.

Every game get their piece of share. IDK why would you guys want like 30 minutes of an entire game.

/s? Couldn't tell.

Backstabbing by giving them their own State of Play next week? How much more do you need to see of this game? Lol

Yes. If the only thing you guys see is that 'ThEiR oWn' show. Dude this presentation was like 40 minutes. Between 5 to 10 minutes of Final Fantasy would be great already.

I mean, WTF are you guys expecting something that big of difference between the last FF7remake and this? To require 30 minutes ALONE? I can see good improvements, but nothing game changing. Is the continuation of the same game, with is fine BTW.

At this point they should leave FF presentation to Square Enix inself.

 

[Luigi Mario]

They did the same for FF7 Remake and FFXVI

Hogwarts Legacy as well.

Bruh Rebirth is going to make Part 1 look like a demo. Shit is massive

 

[EDMIX]

I dont know if should watch this, we very close to release date, I dont want to spoil the game before it comes out.

Same, I'm already on that media black out mode

 

[Fake]

Bruh Rebirth is going to make Part 1 look like a demo. Shit is massive

Massive, yes. Game changing, no.

Again, this is a continuation of a game with I'm totally fine. Just like GoW with GoW: Ragnarok. I don't understand why this require 30 minutes alone. Would be better if the next State of Play got a Square Enix games focused.

 

[MikeM]

Ignoring because I want to go in blind. I only want to know if the 60fps mode is good.

 

[Raonak]

Kinda funny that I'm gonna be skipping this because of spoilers for what is a "REMAKE".

But here we are lol. I've seen enough to know this is gonna be awesome.

 

[Dis]

I aint watching shit

 

[StereoVsn]

I am absolutely skipping this one. I have seen enough!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Seeing everyone holding firm is making me rethink my 1min cocaine dabble.

 

[Whitecrow]

Nonsense. The game releases two weeks after. Who the hell need spoilers just before release??

 

[saintjules]

Nonsense. The game releases two weeks after. Who the hell need spoilers just before release??

Spoilers already happened if we're being honest. Demo most likely being announced / released here. Otherwise pretty much a big miss for it.

 

[Fret Runner]

This plus the final trailer are gonna make avoiding spoilers a living hell.
Well, to those in the same boat as me, I wish you the best.
Let's all go to the pub and wait for all this to blow over.

 

[mayham2199]

I dont know if should watch this, we very close to release date, I dont want to spoil the game before it comes out.

Exactly. I feel like I’ve seen to much anyways. I’m not watching it.

 

[Gambit2483]

They cut FF from the last minute?

What a backstab from Sony to Square Enix.

FF7 Rebirth is like PS5s biggest game for Q1 2024. They want to give it as much of it's own spotlight as possible. SE is probably happy about that (especially if it increases sales)

 

[saintjules]

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Im good lol....at this point i want to go in blind and enjoy and savor every second

 

[Putonahappyface]

JeBus Christ this game is going to burn me out with it's size.

 

[Madflavor]

The final trailer for Remake in case anyone needs a reminder on how much shit these things tend to spoil.

tl;dw: It's a lot.

 

[Sethbacca]

On the one hand I want to watch, but on the other I’ve already preordered so I probably won’t so I can go in mostly blind. I think I’ve only seen a trailer at this point.
