      I imagine the game will disappoint gameplay-wise. The first had the advantage of being linear and the devs having control of which characters and materia you had. The freedom of Rebirth will ruin that. They have already given up on balancing with the new "dynamic difficulty" option.

        Even then the game was kinda strange. I mean it's virtually indistinguishable from ATB in that you're just spamming attack(s) until you need to heal. It's just presented in a more cinematic style, so to speak. You can still lose by AFKing without pausing or having a stroke, but otherwise there's almost nothing to do. The game either tells you how to defeat bosses or you just use asses, and the latter is pretty much optional.
        The only fights that were kinda worthwhile were optional, but that's even worse because the story/context for the side content is fricking awful, and even then it's not like it's the best Action game ever. It's just mediocre with a lot of visual effects and great music, but the core mechanics were nothing to write home about. Reminded me a lot of the combat you find in games like Rune Factory or Harvestella, just obviously with 10x the budget and no other gameplay other than the repetitive combat.
        I really do not understand why Square in 40 years has never considered hiring a game designer, cause damn is this franchise wasted potential.

        Isn't that what Nibelheim was for? What about Sector 7? I'm all for tragedy, but it kinda seemed like beating a dead horse by that point. The context is weird too, because Sephiroth is obsessed with Meteor and whatnot, but he waits to kill Aerith AFTER trying to mindfrick Cloud into doing it, knowing full well Holy was presumably the only thing that could stop his ultimate goal. So is Sephiroth just the Joker, and Cloud is his Batman? Is his obsession with Jenova just an excuse? or is he just whatever the plot needs him to be whenever it's convenient?
        I don't get it.

          Losing a beloved party member was clearly the biggest tragedy. Obviously if you hated aerith or didn't use her, you didn't get to experience that feeling, but that was the games intention

            I didn't hate Aerith, I just didn't think the scene or context for it was executed well at all.

            That anon is wrong, her death was never necessary. That's what makes it even sadder. Her death is a true tragedy and not a type of noble sacrifice.

            I haven't played the game in a decade, was it ever explained why she leaves the party to go alone, or is she just moronic?
            Obviously you don't want Cloud with you after the events at the Temple, but the party splits up very often during the story, so why not bring anybody else? The only way it makes sense is if she knew it was likely a one-way trip, I.E. a noble sacrifice, so she didn't want to endanger the party, which itself is ironic because she is assuming at that point that only she has the power to prevent Meteor, so if she dies everybody else does too, including the party she neglected to bring along.
            So basically this story is moronic. Not gettin' misty-eyed over characters intentionally acting stupid just so the plot can happen. Lookin' at you, Sephiroth. I love when the antagonist has to monologue his devious plans to the protagonists because the writers don't know how to naturally allow the events to unfold.

I like Macbeth, it's sad to see him fall, but I don't ignore Macduff's motivations for wanting to kill his ass, nor would I rewrite the tragedy to deny his personal justice. The point being the death and events leading up to it makes no fricking sense and only serves to undermine every major player's character as it was built up, including Sephiroth, although I guess the excuse there is he's just insane.

                For all we know Sephiroth had every opportunity to kill Aerith and waited until Cloud arrived. This ruins his threat of Meteor and ultimate goal to travel the stars since he's evidently more interested in Cloud than he is preventing Holy.
                I'll admit it's not a huge blow. Like I said Sephiroth's excuse is he's just insane, and Cloud impacts his God complex, so it's not a huge deal. Just makes the scene seem funny when you think of a piece of Jenova just chilling in the rafters waiting for the party to show up, if ever.

                Well, considering he's already at the Capital by the time the party arrives and the knowledge he had gained from the Lifestream regarding the Cetra and Holy, I'd say it's a reasonable assumption that he followed Aerith.

                I feel like people disconsider the possibility of Sephiroth simply not knowing the full range of what the white materia can do. He probably believed that by killing her when Cloud arrives it would be enough to stop it and fullfil his plan to break Cloud.
                Aerith herself didnt know what it could do until she arrived in that random ancient library that Cloud finds later.

                The truth is that for Sephiroth to derail the whole plan to save the world he just needs to steal/destroy the white materia from Aerith this time.

                Remake will play with these things for sure. The whole way Sephiroth acts will be different, his objectives will also be different. Because as we know he needs Cloud to do something else.

                I have actually thought about this before, but I don't really consider it an optional because of all the information he had derived from his time in the Lifestream. He knew everything about the Cetra, Meteor, Jenova, The Lifestream itself and its relation to The Planet. Why would he somehow not know about Holy's potential? It may be true, but it just seems too convenient in the face of everything else.

                seeing someone die infront of you is different from just seeing the corpse. Also gamewise that just doesn't work you autist. The point was seeing aerith get killed. ffs

                Well sure, that's why I laid out the plan to create a Clone Aerith. I specifically factored this in that you get the psychological damage and reduce the risk. The risky part is breaking Cloud, which is not explicitly wholly necessary to Sephiroth's long-term goal. Breaking Cloud is more of an ego project that might come in handy later, like after Meteor, but if the latter never happens you get nothing. Sephiroth seems kinda dumb, along with Aerith.

                Yeah I didn't really mean as guides. Bodyguards, y'know? You're right though, it's not like they had any real chance against the real Sephiroth, but they already knew about the Sephiroth Clones, which were real threats they could destroy. Not to mention that nasty encounter on the cargo ship.
                What the frick is Aerith gonna do if a dozen clones just show up at the entrance to the Forgotten Capital lmao? I guess the writers forgot about that shit though, whatever.

                Sephiroth wasn't at the Forgotten Capital. Anon's point was that The Planet "protected her from danger and guided her to the Capital" danger being shit like Sephiroth Clones, which is what kills Aerith. I specifically said "What if a dozen Clones showed up at the entrance" and he just said "dude The Planet will protect her lmao" but then it doesn't... I don't get it.

          Hojo definitely wanted to have Sephiroth finding her there.
          And Nibel itself always felt like a place that was the center of operations for Shinra. The nibel manor...
          Makes more sense to do experiments with Jenova in a city in the middle of nowhere than doing in Midgar where you could annihilate the whole city.

          Nibel is the right choice, the fact they were able to rebuild the town and fill with actors proves that even harder.

          The thing is that the whole manipulation that Sephiroth only does a lot later is being sprinkled earlier here. He will make Cloud doubt his party through the whole game instead of happening only at the northern crater; "i killed her, who is she"

              They added a bodyguard synergy system. If it applies in the narrative, it's definitely when Cloud tries to kill Aerith, and the party members would try to shield Aerith from his attack.
              The ability suggests the protection is from front. Then Sephiroth comes and hits with his Hell's Gate from behind.

              I know. This time it is clear how Seph is trying to break all his bonds very hard. And if he doesnt want to kill Tifa, he will at least do everything to make Cloud distrust or get separated from her. Cloud's situation will be very very worse than the OG game because Sephiroth is fixing all his failures.

    >original game from 1997 still has one of the most iconic stories in gaming to this day
    >ten years from now, the original FF7 will remain a pivotal point in the history of video games while FF7R will be regarded as a worthless gimmick once the shock value wears off

        >“We are finally going to link up with Advent Children, that is going to be part of canon. The overall storyline, the developments, will not go wildly out in a way that will not add up to Advent Children in the end. I don’t think anyone wanted that, that’s not what we’re looking to create here.”

    I'd honestly buy a PS5 and the game at full price if Square had the balls to kill off Cloud and replace him with Zack because of the fate interference from the previous game.
