New Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trailer Revealed During PS4's State Of Play Presentation

@rickjamesia: You're missing the point. The point wasn't that I disagreed with him, but that there's no point in making comments like that because I can make the exact same comments opposed to his and be just as correct.

And you're actually only half-right. People always tell me FF was the "experimental" franchise. Always trying something new. They actually started the ATB thing (again, so I'm told). But they also adopted popular trends. This is true.

But here's the thing. Those games were GOOD. FF went from trend chasing to trend setting. Everyone else copied them, not the other way around. But even during this golden era, their action game were awful (outside studios being the exception). This is still true to this day, and now people who didn't even like those old FF games are making FF games. Being an ARPG isn't the problem. The problem is that the change is being made for all the wrong reasons, and we have already seen the result: FF15.

Why in the world would anyone want to see a proven BAD formula used in place of a proven GOOD formula? That's the point. That has always been the point. Nobody is saying we don't want ARPGs. We're just saying we'd rather have GOOD turn-based RPGs over BAD action based ones.

@REDShadowG: Dude, I guarantee that YOU are the one who is in the minority here.

Sales suggest that the majority of FF15's sales were the result of pre-release hype. Sales went off a cliff shortly after. So badly, in fact, that Squeenix was willing to cancel DLC just days after they announced it. Clearly FF15's "new" fans weren't enough to support the game. Do you know how shameful it is in Japan to cancel something you promised to develop? How bad did sales have to be for them to be willing to do that? They must have been really bad.

@REDShadowG: You mean to say based off of your comments alone you don't count yourself toxic? You really aren't very self-aware are you?

Turn-based combat is still alive and well in critically acclaimed games such as the Persona series and others. Just because you have some childish grudge against it doesn't make those who enjoy it toxic nor does it make them insignificant, something you falsely claimed to prop up your own immature claims.

@millionsedge: As someonw who's enjoyed both series, no. It's not. It's really, really not. FF7 was enjoyable, but Phantasy Star IV was a better game all the way around except possibly in the music department.

@Barighm: Agreed. I'm guessing it is why the original build of the remake was scrapped and started over as well.

@gamingdevil800: That was hilarious, LOL!

@krystal69: ... what happened to the first half of my sentence?

@Jago-Vs-Fulgore: It's not the same. FF7 relied so much on static bitmap image renders to make up the backdrops. You can't just pump in more "resolutions" to make the game magically look like it's been made recently. I know there have been modding efforts to use AI to "sharpen" up the background images but they still look kinda weird.

FF9 probably has the best examples of AI reconstruct images of the backdrops. I'd play that.

@gotrekfabian: I've seen some of these mods. They are okay. FF8 looks super creepy since they have less "stylized" aesthetic lol. I think FF9 is probably the best in term of graphical mods treatment.
